Chapter 106: Beaten by a Big Shot Before Leaving the Newbie Village
Chapter 106: Beaten by a Big Shot Before Leaving the Newbie Village
Viktor, floating in mid-air, fully mobilized his natural energy, causing the red patterns behind him to suddenly light up.
Countless plants seemed to transform into lifeless, charred twigs, while the towering trees now appeared to have burning red treetops.
White ashes swirled in the air, carried by the howling cold wind.
The green leaves turned scorched and red, emitting tiny sparks.
The sky was completely obscured by the black smoke rising from the burning trees, with only a few streaks of yellow sunlight barely piercing through the thick darkness.
Erica, watching Viktor who resembled a demon god, felt the powerful natural energy rushing towards her like a raging flood.
She clearly sensed that her own insignificant magic power, compared to Professor Viktor's boundless natural energy, was like a gently flowing stream facing a bottomless ocean.
Her mind suddenly went blank, with only one remaining thought echoing in her brain—
This is a deity.
Viktor's hands, entwined with two types of natural energy, seemed to be both praying and summoning as he began to chant obscure incantations.
The lush green earth started to crack, with flames rising from the fissures between rocks, and vegetation being scorched by lava.
A gigantic flower suddenly burst through the lava, twisting as it reached towards the sky. After several dozen meters, the tattered petals peeled off, revealing flowing patterns of flame.
The enormous flower instantly bloomed towards the sky. Instead of any fragrant pollen, terrifying flames mixed with ashes erupted from between its pistils.
A pillar of fire, with the momentum of devouring the heavens, shot straight up, piercing through the world.
At this moment, the illusory sky shattered under the impact of the powerful natural energy, like an irreparable mirror gradually breaking apart.
The powerful fire pillar instantly engulfed the flower, and the green and red energies intertwined, transforming into an enormous white light that spread in all directions, consuming everything and extending for thousands of miles.
The world suddenly fell silent.
Erica quietly watched as the white light gradually engulfed her completely, yet she was powerless to resist.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't even hear her own voice.
It was then that Erica understood,
In the face of Viktor's overwhelming power,
There wasn't even time to feel fear for a moment.
Boom—
As the white light gradually dissipated, sound returned to this shattered world.
Everything around had fallen into boundless silence, even the crackling sound of burning had ceased to exist.
Only the lonely smoke dispersed, with ashes slowly falling into the bottomless cracks in the earth.
Suddenly, a light rain began to fall from the gloomy sky.
It pattered on Erica's stunned body.
The cold sensation made Erica regain her senses. She blinked, seemingly unable to believe that she was still alive.
As the sweet rain fell, Erica felt as if she had returned to that fierce volcano.
However, this time, she could quietly feel the incredibly comforting rain awakening her.
After this battle,
No, perhaps it's better to say, after this one-sided crushing,
She had personally experienced Viktor's shocking power.
She also clearly recognized the gap between herself and Viktor.
It was like the distance between heaven and earth.
Viktor's figure had long since disappeared, leaving only the remnants of this dreamlike illusion continuing to deteriorate.
But the shock left in Erica's heart
Could not dissipate for a long time.
......
Inside Viktor's wizard tower.
The scoreboard on the edge of the scroll finally began to ripple, seemingly about to reveal the name of the first student to pass with a perfect score.
The students crowded around, bewildered as they looked at the name that appeared.
"Erica du Cloye."
While they couldn't even pass, Erica had already managed to achieve a perfect score!?
But Erica's name appearing there seemed somewhat reasonable.
If even the top student couldn't get a perfect score, who else could ace Professor Viktor's test?
Soon, Erica's form appeared from the teleportation array.
Her body was somewhat unsteady, and she looked dazed.
Many students rushed forward, asking:
"Miss Erica, how did you manage to get a perfect score?"
"Miss Erica! How did you solve the encounter in the third stage?"
"Miss Erica......"
The students bombarded her with their questions, but Erica didn't respond.
Her eyes were slightly vacant and lifeless, as if she had experienced a catastrophic disaster.
Only Henie smiled and said to her:
"Congratulations, Erica, you're the first student to get a perfect score."
"Your score will be immediately recorded in your overall results. Now, you can proceed to other exam venues to continue with other tests."
Erica slowly raised her head, coming back to her senses, and nodded vaguely.
She dragged her body towards the entrance of the wizard tower, disappearing from this space in a few streaks of green light.
Many people stared at the dazed Erica, somewhat stunned.
No one knew exactly what Erica had experienced.
It was a scene capable of completely shattering their worldview.
In some ways, these students were fortunate not to have encountered Viktor.
But they still had to remain in this exam venue for a while longer.
Comparatively, this was unfortunate.
......
The three-day assessment continued, with today being the final day.
Generally, by the third day of the assessment, professors no longer needed to maintain the exam venues as they did at the beginning.
Most students had already finished, with only a few candidates rushing to complete their progress, or aiming to gather more points by completing all assessment recognitions, continuing to take exams on the last day.
Except for the area below Viktor's wizard tower, which was still surrounded by more people, packed so tightly that not even water could seep through.
Compared to before, there were even more reporters from news media.
In this scorching weather, even mosquitoes were unwilling to enter the crowd, fearing they might be crushed into pieces by the sea of people in the next second.
A large number of students still filled the interior of the wizard tower.
Just as the first student who completed the assessment and left the exam venue had said.
The pass rate for Professor Viktor's assessment had become higher and higher.
It was unclear when it started, but after the second student passed, it was as if some secret passage had been opened.
Students who passed appeared as rapidly as bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Reporters gathered at the base of Viktor's wizard tower, interviewing every student.
But their answers were all the same, and their attitudes were invariably excited.
With patience and constant repetition, along with that inexplicable rush,
Yes, what supported these students to succeed was actually Viktor's inconceivable exam rules.
Students could retake the exam repeatedly until time ran out.
However, it was precisely these monotonous rules that made countless students willing to stay in the wizard tower and keep trying!
Wouldn't they feel bored? Wouldn't they feel tired?
The news media reporters couldn't understand at all.
But what they found most absurd was that even though these students had already passed the assessment,
They seemed addicted, returning again and again to challenge themselves!
Finally, the bell for the last day rang, signaling the end of the exam.
Inside the wizard tower, those students who were still taking the test, whether successful or not, were all hurried out.
Some students forced smiles, some beat their chests in frustration.
Another group wore proud expressions, with a sense of achievement overflowing from their faces.
"Ah, I was so close. If those last two monsters had given me a little more chance, I could have gotten a perfect score."
"At least I passed the assessment."
The students couldn't help but sigh.
Henie waved both hands, and the scroll gradually rolled up, while the teleportation array in the wizard tower instantly disappeared.
"The exam time is up, all candidates can leave the wizard tower now."
Some students couldn't help but ask.
"Professor Henie! Will there be more assessments like this in the future?"
This novel assessment had an indescribable feeling.
It gave many candidates a sense of excitement.
They really liked it.
Henie nodded at them with an extremely friendly smile.
Having received a satisfactory answer, many candidates felt happy.
"Yay!"
"I really want to attend Professor Viktor's classes."
"Oh no, I've graduated!"
"I heard Professor Viktor's lecture will be held in a few days, I'm already looking forward to it."
The students left the wizard tower with a mix of excitement, regret, and various other emotions.
After they had all left in an orderly manner, Henie remained standing in place.
Feeling the vast magic power within her, like an ocean.
No one knew what she was thinking at this moment.
Henie experimentally raised her arm, and in an instant, a second-tier magic formation appeared in the air.
The process of constructing the magic was very smooth and effortless.
Henie froze in place.
A gentle breeze brushed across her face, and a hand that made her feel at ease was placed on her shoulder.
The familiar scent behind her made Henie turn her head in delight.
"Professor!"
"Not a bad improvement."
Viktor responded calmly.
In his eyes, Henie's level had changed dramatically.
Level 21—
How long did it take Henie to become a mage?
It seemed it hadn't even been half a month.
If this were to be made public, it would appear too shocking to the world.
During the three-day final exam period, almost all students in the academy participated in this assessment.
This unreasonably difficult assessment, coupled with the constant anger generated by the examinees,
Had allowed the Wrath Demon on Henie to eat its fill.
And all the emotions consumed by the demon were transformed into a source of magic power for Henie.
This caused her level to grow as rapidly as a rocket, allowing her to become a second-tier mage in one go.
"Keep up the good work, Henie."
"I'll be waiting for you ahead."
As the words fell, Viktor took two steps towards the exit of the wizard tower.
In the next second, a fierce wind suddenly blew up in the space, Henie's robes were caught by this gust, and she couldn't help but lower her head and shield herself with both hands.
When the gale dissipated, Henie finally raised her head.
But at this moment, Viktor's figure had already disappeared.
"Professor..."
Looking ahead, Henie gradually became somewhat dazed.
She understood where all this magic power came from.
She had received too much help from the professor.
It had always been the professor helping her, yet she couldn't give anything in return.
Soon, Henie regained her composure and looked determinedly in the direction Viktor had left.
"It's not enough, still not enough."
Just as the professor had said.
She was still too weak.
"At least, I need to reach the third tier."
When a certain desire rises in one's heart, this desire can transform into endless motivation.
For Henie, from beginning to end, she had been working hard for that goal.
A red glow gradually appeared on Henie's body, and a small crocodile lay on top of her head, yawning.
What a rich desire.
'Pity, this desire isn't the kind I like to eat.'
