Chapter 3 This spiritual root isn't quite right either, is it?
Lorne was very familiar with spiritual roots. He had seen many movies, animations and literary works of this type before, and knew that it was the foundation of a cultivator.
In some ways, it's similar to spiritual affinity; both are prerequisites for cultivation.
However, cultivators use their spiritual roots to absorb, transform, and store spiritual energy, refining external spiritual energy for their own use.
Magicians rely on their mental affinity to perceive and guide magic, essentially projecting their mental energy outward to manipulate magical elements.
Although I don't know how spiritual roots help with magic talent tests, why didn't you say so earlier!
If he had removed his hand even a second earlier, the test would have ended. If that damn system had helped him then, he would have been nothing more than a failed cultivator.
What else is there to say? Awaken, my spiritual root!
"activation!"
[Ding, 2 cultivation points deducted, remaining points: 0.]
[Great! Your spiritual root has been activated!]
Your spiritual root aptitude is: Mixed Five Elements Spiritual Root! Grade C!
Lorne's heart sank.
Judging from this, it seems to be a mechanism where the more mixed the spiritual roots, the worse it is.
His speculation is not without merit.
Based on his extensive experience watching countless films, he believes that in some cultivation worlds, the more complete one's spiritual roots, the more powerful one becomes. Only by possessing all five elements can one comprehend the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, encompassing all things and having a profound foundation.
Others, however, view those with multiple spiritual roots as useless, believing that they are impure and difficult to cultivate, making it hard for them to achieve great things.
Therefore, time travel is also a science; with the same aptitude, different worlds will lead to different destinies.
His spiritual root is now one of the five elements. If he were in the corresponding cultivation world, he would be favored by the five spiritual energies of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and could cultivate the five elements techniques. He can be considered a genius among geniuses.
Unfortunately, this system is different; the Five Elements Spiritual Root belongs to the lowest level of the low.
"But neither of those options seems to make much difference to me, since I'm not even in the world of cultivation anymore..."
"And this is spiritual energy?"
After his spiritual root was activated, Lorne felt as if something had changed within his body. In the originally calm air, something seemed to be resonating with his body, and a sense of intimacy arose spontaneously.
The same sense of intimacy arises when you touch the crystal monument with your palm, even more intensely.
Following this sense, Lorne saw the dreamlike colors within the crystal tablet. He could sense that these colors seemed restless, as if they could move at his will with a single thought.
"Is this also spiritual energy?"
Lorne tried calling out in his mind, "Come."
front.
Viola sighed when she saw that Lorne was unwilling to remove his hand for a long time.
She could absolutely understand how disappointed Lorne was.
His mental affinity was above average at level six, just a hair's breadth away from level seven. That was the difference between his expectations and the top universities. Such a gap between his expectations and reality would be hard for anyone to accept, especially given his background. His desire to change his fate was probably at its peak.
It's such a pity, so sad.
Even if she put herself in Lorne's shoes, she would feel disheartened, let alone someone who came from a poor background.
Senior Hakimi licked his paw, sighed, and sincerely offered his advice:
"Young man, let go, meow, taking a step back will open up a whole new world."
"The Silver Echo Monument never makes mistakes. With your talent, you'll have a bright future even if you choose another magic academy. Study hard, and maybe you can even come to Silver Academy as an exchange student in the future..."
But he stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, and then his eyes suddenly widened.
Viola, who was frantically imagining Lorne's regret, was suddenly shocked, her red lips parted wide.
"Wait, what is this...?"
"Four-element resonance! What the hell?!"
……
The Silver Echo Monument, which had stopped changing, suddenly burst into light!
The level six mental affinity scale remained unchanged, but the dreamlike colors flowing inside the crystal tablet were wildly swirling, touching Lorne's palm for a moment before vanishing just as quickly.
Golden yellow, indigo, crimson... a dazzling array of colors flowed back and forth without a fixed pattern, like a pool of boiling water confined within a vertical monument.
Ancient and mysterious, yet exceptionally beautiful.
Finally, amidst the constant shifts, the colors settled, with amber, crimson, pale blue, and azure intertwining to create a dazzling display of light, painting a large area of the surrounding space in vibrant colors.
A wave spread out, so strong and clear that even Lorne could feel it clearly.
The deep blue color was exactly the same as the color that Viola had shown before!
And there are three more like this!
"This is……"
"He resonates with the elements; he possesses elemental abilities, and he has four of them!"
"Azure blue represents water magic, amber represents earth magic, cyan represents wind magic, and crimson represents fire magic! Oh my god~"
Exclamations erupted from the surrounding area.
This is clearly a manifestation of resonating with magical elements and possessing elemental specialties, and there are as many as four of them.
Unbelievable!
The ability to resonate with a single element is already an exceptional talent, earning him the title of a darling of magic with a promising future.
The resonance of the four elements is beyond what can be explained by a mere darling of magic; it's practically the reincarnation of a god of magic!
Unheard of!
Viola stared at Lorne in shock.
I thought my talent was already invincible, but I never expected that someone would be even more amazing than me!
A friend I made casually turned out to be terrifying!
Her brief worry vanished, and she felt somewhat happy for Lorne.
But as she thought about it, the smile on her face gradually became stiff.
Then he slowly lowered his head, and his delicate face, hidden by the brim of his hat, gradually changed shape.
My nose feels red.
In comparison, my so-called level 10 mental affinity and single-element resonance are inferior!
I had even brazenly told him not to let me discourage him...
……
Countless gazes were focused on Lorne, filled with fervor, shock, and disbelief.
The resonance of the four elements is unprecedented.
Such a person, as long as he doesn't die, even if he remains a magic apprentice for his entire life, his name will be forever etched in the history of magic.
But how could he be just a magic apprentice? After all, they had just witnessed with their own eyes that Lorne's mental affinity was a full level six...
Huh? Wait a minute!
Big Orange suddenly frowned!
Big Orange realizes that things are not so simple!
With a level six mental affinity, where did he get the qualifications to resonate with the elements?
It's important to understand that if your mental strength and magical elemental affinity aren't high enough, you don't even qualify for resonance. And that passing grade is level seven! This is a privilege reserved only for those with high levels of mental strength affinity!
"What's going on, meow?"
"Could there be an error in the detection of the Silver Echo Monument?"
Although it often breaks the spell in the compulsory History of Magic course, this section has been tested repeatedly, and there has never been a precedent of a test making a mistake.
The Echo Monument has been in use for so many years without any problems. If something were to go wrong under his supervision, he'd definitely lose credits, which would be a huge loss...
Big Orange frowned as he looked at the Silver Echo Monument.
next moment.
Its eyes widened in terror.
Click...
Under the watchful eyes of everyone.
On the crystal tablet, which was tall and translucent, radiating four-colored light, a tiny crack appeared.
It then rapidly expanded and meandered, covering the entire Crystal Monument in the blink of an eye.
Finally, with a loud bang, it exploded.
Crystal fragments, shimmering with light, were scattered all over the ground, mixed with the wooden base.
The famous Echo Monument of Silver Academy is shattered.
