Leave the Wizard Tower.
Ian glanced back at her.
"Great scholars!"
Ian felt a surge of emotion.
At the same time, a sense of anticipation arose in my heart.
But he also understood that this was not something that could be accomplished in a short time.
Fortunately, with the issues raised in this project, there's no need to worry about resources related to resonance.
"However, I didn't expect this article to be used as the cover of Element Latitude and Longitude."
Ian couldn't help but think of the conversation they had just had.
He needs to work with Hector to compile an article.
"It's probably also to boost morale."
Ian sighed.
Specific data must be kept confidential; not much can be revealed. The main purpose is to boost morale.
And this node is indeed good.
However, this is a good thing for him, since it is another resource that will help him accumulate more for advancing to the second ring.
"Then I need to continue increasing the elemental resonance level, continue completing the project, and strive to raise all of them to 90%, since my legacy is still in the secret realm."
Ian has not forgotten.
The final part of the Four Symbols Wizard's legacy, which includes the most important aspect of advancement—the extraordinary physique—is contained within it.
This is something we absolutely must obtain.
However, these things take time, and the most pressing issue for him is still the next college-wide assessment.
If he can take the top spot, he will definitely do so directly, even if he has to compete with Flynn. Neither of them will give way to the other, and I believe Flynn will feel the same way.
If I can't win, I have to win second place so that I'll have a chance to advance directly to first place after Flynn advances.
"Moreover, there are more resources this time, so the higher the ranking, the more resources you will receive."
Remembering Kieran's suggestion.
Ian's expression also became serious.
Let's do the math.
There should be about four more months.
He can use this time to familiarize himself with the changes in his condition, and at the same time, he can make some slight improvements in other aspects.
This includes things like the five levels of the Four Symbols Resonance Method.
He's not far from being a master.
If he can break through before the assessment, it can also increase his combat power and perhaps allow him to rank higher.
"Four months!"
As the Four Symbols Temple drew ever closer.
Ian's resolve grew stronger.
With the end of the fire element project.
Ian's status within the project team skyrocketed.
At the same time, he also had to choose a new project group as his main research direction, and he first chose the wind element.
Aside from the change in direction.
Resources were also quickly provided.
Ian can freely apply for Elemental Dust, as long as it is confirmed that it is for his own use.
Then, other resources that enhance resonance can also be obtained from time to time.
This made Bryce even more upset.
In fact, we have to spend even more resources.
He even went directly to Simon, arguing that Simon's indulgence of Ian was unacceptable.
However, after entering the wizard's tower...
I don't know what the two of them said, but Bryce's expression changed when he came out and looked at Ian.
The process of allocating resources has become much smoother.
A month later.
Hector and Ian compiled a document, which they both signed and submitted to the Academy.
There's no rush to publish the paper.
Because it will almost certainly be after the assessment.
In the blink of an eye.
Three months have passed.
"Sir, I wish you success in your assessment."
Sherry, who had already advanced, respectfully saw Ian out the door and handed him the wizard's robe.
Ian put it on naturally.
He was calculating his progress over the past three months.
Among them, mental strength increased by four points, reaching 84.
Meanwhile, in the past four months.
This is the stage in which Ian's elemental resonance level has improved the most.
With talent, proficiency, and resources all at their peak, the resonance level increased by two to three points in almost every skill.
Even the fire element has been increased by 91%.
"It's a pity that my meditation skills are still lacking. I'm only 350 experts, and I'm almost at the point of breaking through. I can only wait until after the core assessment."
1
He couldn't help but sigh.
Shirley had already tidied his clothes by then.
Take a deep breath.
He walked out of the Wizard Tower and quickly headed towards the main courtyard, soon arriving at the Star Palace Square.
Ian greeted Flynn and the others.
So they waited.
soon.
The Fifth Academy and the Second Ring Road arrived one after another, along with Simon's true form.
They attach great importance to this!
Ian couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion when he heard Simon say, "This assessment reward will be the highest since the core was established. I hope everyone can do their best."
Meanwhile, a list of rewards has been sent over.
Ian glanced at it.
Naturally, the earlier you are, the better. The top five still provide one resource for advancement, but they also provide an additional resource to assist in advancing.
The top ten have also improved.
"A potion for advancement, or a second-tier extraordinary item for advancement, and a top-tier resource?"
Ian's eyes widened.
The resources needed to break through the second ring are actually divided into two parts: potions and extraordinary items.
The former is used for breakthroughs, while the latter is used for the formation of extraordinary physiques.
This time, even the top ten will receive some of the resources needed to advance, which shows that the academy has really gone all out.
As for those outside the top ten, the rewards are still quite good.
But it didn't appeal to Ian much.
He wasn't lacking in ordinary resources at that time.
Not only him, but the other wizards were also excited, and those wizards who were originally in the top ten were even more excited.
This level of reward.
Nobody will relax.
"You have ten minutes to prepare. The assessment will begin in ten minutes."
Simon announced.
Everyone was also adjusting their state of mind, afraid that they might not be in good condition later.
We arrived in ten minutes.
"Round 1: Resonance Test!"
The space was familiar, and the wizards generally entered in groups, in the form of separate houses.
The first one is the Molten Core Academy.
"Abraham is third; his elemental resonance level is over 90%?"
A gasp of surprise.
Everyone looked toward the center and saw that only three people remained in the arena, two of whom were the current chief and second-in-command of the Molten Academy.
Only Abraham remained.
"He definitely has Moon-level talent."
Ian remarked with a sigh.
This group of wizards soon came to an end.
Next batch.
Soon it was the turn of the Four Symbols Institute.
"Enter."
The deacon in front said, "Ian and the others go in, along with Ivan and Flynn."
The familiar pressure returned.
This time, the pressure didn't even affect Ian in the slightest; in fact, until the time of the last test, Ian felt quite relaxed.
soon.
The number of wizards in the arena dwindled until only Ian and two others remained.
Ian glanced at the other two out of the corner of his eye.
Flynn kept his eyes straight ahead, but Ivan stared intently at Flynn, regarding him as his only rival.
Time passed little by little.
Ian was now nearly at the peak of his five-crystal mastery, with the resonance of one element reaching the master level, and he also mastered four master-level resonance techniques and one perfect-level resonance technique.
This also made Ian's condition exceptionally good.
He looks even better than Ivan.
The wizards outside quickly noticed the situation as well.
Ivan had started trembling, but Ian still seemed to be under less pressure.
"How is that possible?"
Ivan was also terrified.
For a long time, he never considered Ian a rival.
But looking back today, this wizard, whom he had always thought he hadn't paid attention to, actually seems to be surpassing him.
"No, no, impossible!"
He gritted his teeth.
He had already failed to advance once, and that failure had caused him permanent damage.
Therefore, if he wants to make a breakthrough, he needs more resources for repair and further development.
He cannot lose.
He gritted his teeth, but felt the pressure increasing until his vision began to darken.
He was removed from the field, and looking at Ian and Flynn still on the field, he immediately closed his eyes.
Inside the venue.
Ian also felt that he had reached his limit.
Flynn is a wizard with both water and fire attributes. He already had the resources to advance and has been improving for over a year, so his resonance level is very high.
It's normal to be outmatched.
One minute later.
Ian reached his limit and was moved off the field. A few minutes later, Flynn was also moved off.
at this time.
The other wizards from the Four Symbols Academy on the sidelines also looked at Ian with very complicated expressions.
After all, being able to surpass Ivan means that Ian's elemental resonance level has definitely exceeded 90%.
90%!
Envious glances were cast my way.
This is because it represents the minimum standard required to break through the second ring, and also the true level of the academy's top-tier first ring.
"It's just one round, it's okay. There are still two or three rounds of battle to come. In my experience, Ian can't possibly beat me."
In the crowd.
Ivan gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, while the wizards surrounding him seemed to be thinking about something else entirely.
soon.
The first round is over.
Ian ranked eighth.
"Round Two, Illusion Tower!"
The familiar Tower of Illusions.
Ian entered the Illusion Tower amidst Ivan's hostile gaze, beginning the test.
Time passed little by little.
"I'm out. This time, my ranking has surpassed Ian's, right?"
Ivan felt his mental energy was severely depleted, but his spirit was high.
Because he played very well this round, he believed that not only Ian, but even Flynn should not be his match.
"Boss, Flynn and Ian are still inside!"
West approached him, his expression complex as he offered his advice.
???
Ivan was stunned.
Then he turned around and saw that Flynn and Ian were not in the arena.
"this?"
His throat trembled.
I still can't believe it.
He was once the top scholar, how could he be surpassed by these wizards time and time again!
Could it be that they engaged in attrition warfare at one point, which took too long?
"Flynn is ranked fifth, and Ian is ranked sixth."
But looking at the rankings...
Ivan fell completely silent.
At this point, the wizards from the other houses finally noticed that Flynn and Ian were ranked together.
"The Four Symbols Academy excels in multi-elemental wizards, which gives them a slight advantage in this kind of situation."
At this moment, First Adam Iron Mountain calmly looked at the two of them, pondering in his heart.
"If I finish in the top three, I'll have another chance to break through."
Bertrand Russell, once the top student, glanced at it and then paid no more attention.
The top students and second-place students from other colleges were paying attention, since judging from the situation, the third round should be a normal competition.
"The third round is an all-college battle."
Simon announced.
"Same as before."
Ian also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely worried that this time he would have to go out again, just like last time. Although he had gained a lot last time, there were also considerable risks involved.
That would be best.
soon.
The battle begins.
Since Ian was already second in rank at this point, the wizards who took turns were basically at the level of chief or second in rank.
"Next up, Ian from the Four Symbols Institute versus Beckett from the Molten Core Institute."
The deacon shouted.
Ian saw his first-round opponent, the third-place finisher from Molten Core.
"My fire element resonance is also over 90%, Ian, so let's have a competition to see who's better at fire element."
Beckett looked at Ian and said.
He was a wizard from the Molten Core Institute, and he had absolute confidence in this.
"OK."
Ian nodded.
"start!"
The referee announced, and then the color of the flames around Beckett gradually changed, and a huge flame surged toward Ian.
Should we confront them head-on?
Ian narrowed his eyes, and the next second, as his domain expanded, the same flames flew toward Beckett.
"madness?"
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
But the next second, the two collided, and flames instantly swept up to a height of hundreds of meters, the terrifying high temperature turning the surrounding area red.
But Beckett's eyes gradually filled with terror.
At the moment of impact, he felt completely suppressed.
How is that possible?
In the instant he was stunned, Ian's fiery eyes completely engulfed his flames, and he looked at the flames filling the sky.
He immediately raised his hands in surrender.
"Ian wins!"
The referee announced.
Beckett glanced at Ian with a complicated expression, then left with regret.
And on the sidelines.
Several second-circle wizards were watching the battle unfold, as were Milo and the wizards from the Molten Core Institute.
The latter thought it was foolish of Ian to also confront him head-on, but his face darkened when he saw the flames appear.
He could see it from a higher level.
Although their elemental resonance is similar, their mental strength, control, and so on are quite different.
And then there are the recent rumors circulating within the hospital.
The way he looked at Ian was also different.
"Why!"
While Milo was overjoyed, he also felt regret, lamenting that he hadn't taken Ian in back then.
Time passed little by little.
In the second and third rounds, Ian encountered the second and third seats from other houses.
Although these people have a slightly higher elemental resonance than Ian.
However, since their levels weren't significantly different, it wouldn't be a problem for Ian.
They won very easily.
However, he was unlucky in the fourth round.
"Ian of the Four Symbols Institute versus Adam Iron Mountain of the Earth Ring."
Ian's face darkened.
The top student in the Earth Ring, currently ranked first in the entire academy.
really.
During the battle, Adam was seen to transform into a rock giant tens of meters tall.
Although it's a bit slow, its attack power and defense are absolutely top-notch.
This also confirmed Ian's belief that this chief's elemental resonance was definitely over 95%.
Ian used various methods and fought for half an hour, but in normal combat, he was simply no match for this iron wall.
So they chose to surrender.
"Ian, you're amazing."
Adam looked at Ian with even more seriousness, because only he himself knew his own state.
He is now the absolute number one.
After the end.
Before Ian could be called, he watched the matches on the other arenas and saw that Ivan had just been defeated by the second seat of the Winter Academy.
The latter looked utterly desperate.
Ian shook his head with a sigh.
It can only be said that breaking through the second ring road still requires caution; if it fails, the cost will be too high.
soon.
The fifth round begins.
"Shishoin Ian, versus Riifuin Orion Frost."
Hearing the name.
Ian's expression immediately turned strange, because this was the very wizard who had just defeated Ivan.
interesting.
He quickly arrived at the arena and looked outside. He saw many wizards from the Four Symbols Academy, as well as Ivan standing outside the arena with a conflicted expression.
soon.
Orion also arrived, and upon seeing that it was the third seat of the Shishoin, he immediately relaxed a lot.
After all, their second-place finisher had just been defeated by him.
"bring it on."
He took a deep breath.
As he exhaled, frost appeared in the air, and the surrounding ground gradually condensed.
the other side.
Ian is also ready to make his move.
"start."
The referee announced.
next second.
Ian also fully unleashed the Four Symbols Domain, a vast domain that erupted instantly, dominated by his strongest fire element.
On the other side was an extremely icy realm.
Both sides unleashed their respective sorcery and domain skills.
The clash of fire and ice.
Almost opposing directions.
The two fought almost head-on, without any skill whatsoever, and the steam generated by their battle made the surroundings appear hazy.
However, his elemental resonance level was ultimately no more than 95%. For Ian, with his deeper foundation and instant-cast sorcery, he quickly suppressed Orion.
The latter suffered repeated defeats.
On the sidelines, Ivan's expression was unpredictable.
at last.
Seeing the extreme cold domain shatter after the attack, Orion raised his hand, his expression finally turning completely cold.
But a pang of heartache gripped my soul.
He can't beat Orion, but Orion can't beat Ian, so doesn't that mean he can't beat Ian either?
Was it normal for him to lose to Ian earlier?
"No, no, no, how could a battle be like this? Battles are much more complex..."
He murmured to himself.
But with Orion's surrender, Ian also won this round of battle.
Ian finished.
Many wizards came to offer their congratulations.
This even included several newly promoted core members of the Four Symbols Institute, which made Ivan's expression increasingly grim.
But what bothered him even more was that the core that had originally followed him was now showing signs of distress.
This assessment.
So much has really changed.
soon.
The third round has ended.
The final rankings are out.
Simon announced.
A light curtain appears.
Ian quickly found his ranking.
"Seventh in the entire college, second in the branch college."
