Chapter 31: Perfect Release of Third-Grade Spells

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The tool for testing magic power reserve was similar to a spiritual tester, but with not a red button but a magic power crystal ball at the bottom. When one placed both hands on the crystal ball, they could test their magic power reserve!

The results of Meng Lei’s tests soon created a new commotion!

“Magic Power Reserve: 35, comparable to a Third-Grade Magician!”

Everyone reacted very differently!

“Only 35? Ordinary, ordinary!”

Some young Dragon People were quite disdainful. Dragon People were born with strong magic power reserves, and even without much cultivation, they far surpassed humans of the same age. They had magic power reserves comparable to Second or Third-Grade Magicians even before admissions!

“That’s all there is to a so-called genius!”

“Exactly! Only his spiritual power is okay!”

“A bunch of ignorant fools, what the f*ck do you know!?”

Upon hearing the Dragon People’s comments, Dirk Norway was furious. “Meng Lei was born a civilian of the human race! He certainly had not come into contact with magic before admissions, which means that all his magic power was gained by meditation after entering the academy!”

Dirk Norway sneered. “In a short three months, his magic power reserve is already comparable to that of a Third-Grade Magician, what a wonder of a genius this is? How can you all compare to him!?

“Yeah, to have such achievement in only three months, he is indeed worthy of being the academy’s chief genius this year!

“So long as this child can hold on to his true conscience and keep working hard like this, his future achievements are unlimited. I have high hopes for him!”

“Me too!”

“This...”

The Dragon People were rendered speechless!

“Since all of you have the time to make irresponsible remarks here, you may as well get your asses back and cultivate hard so that you don’t stay here and be an embarrassment, a joke!” Dirk Norway snorted.

“You bastard!”

The Dragon People’s faces flushed red from the scolding. Their hearts were full of sadness and indignation. They were all nobles of high birth. When had they ever been humiliated in public like this?

Unfortunately for them, Dirk Norway was a teacher of the academy. However angry they were, they dared not say a word!

Thus, the Dragon People youths transferred their anger onto Meng Lei.

“It’s all because of this lowly being of the human race. if not for him...”

The anger of Dragon People aside, Meng Lei’s test, was still ongoing. The third section of the test was magic release!

“To a Magician, spiritual power and magic power are the basics of the basics. Both of them are preparations for magic!”

Dirk Norway came down to the field himself and looked at Meng Lei with a face full of kindness. “So, magic release is the real standard for testing a Magician’s ability!”

Having said that, Dirk Norway smiled as kindly as Santa Claus. “Meng Lei, please release any three magic spells at will!”

“Okay, teacher!”

Meng Lei nodded, walked to the middle of the training ground, and chanted a magic spell!

Crackle, crackle!

The Thunder Elements rapidly gathered, and amid crackling blasts, spherical lightning composed of countless tiny currents quietly formed. It suspended above Meng Lei’s palm and spun like a basketball, bright and dazzling!

“Thunder-Elemental Spell, Thunder Ball!”

Teacher Horatio’s eyes brightened, and he praised, “A great application of Thunder Ball. The whole application took less than 3 seconds, and the Thunder Elements are completely trapped inside the thunder balls, without any leakage at all, demonstrating superb control!

“I’ll give full marks to this Thunder Ball!”

The thunder-elemental magic teacher of Class 2 also touched his palm and praised, “What’s more, Meng Lei only consumed a minimal amount of magical power to guide the Thunder Elements to produce this Thunder Ball. His control of magic power is really powerful!”

When the other teachers heard that, they all nodded and praised. Although Thunder Ball was only a spell of the lowest level, it was often the simpler things that demonstrated a lot!

The speed of magic use!

The amount of magic power consumed!

The precise control of magic power!

All of these showcased the true standard of a Magician!

“Magic, it’s an art!” Dirk Norway smiled brightly. “A great Magician is like a master of art; only ingenious artistic techniques can show the charm of this art. Meng Lei’s spell casting process was smooth and natural. It had quite some sense of art!”

“Department Head Dirk speaks true!”

The teachers all nodded!

“Isn’t it just a first-grade spell? What’s so great? I could release first-grade spells at seven years old!” The Dragon People youths sneered, feeling very disdainful inside. The more the teachers praised Meng Lei, the more upset they were!

Meng Lei waved to discard his Thunder Balls and started chanting the second magic spell. After a few seconds, a spear shining with silvery light appeared in Meng Lei’s hands. The spear was made of thunder and lightning, releasing a domineering aura that seemed all-destructing!

“Thunder-Elemental Spell, Thunder Spear!”

“Good, good!”

“The speed of magic use is fast!”

“There’s no magic leakage!”

“The magic power consumed is extremely little!”

“This Thunder Spear is also pretty much perfect!”

“The release of this second-grade spell was also well-executed, full marks!”

Amidst all the praises, Meng Lei withdrew the Thunder Spear and started chanting his third spell. His spiritual power swept out like a tide. The Thunder Elements within a radius of ten meters were pulled and gathered toward Meng Lei!

“This scale...” Dirk Norway’s eyes brightened. “He’s going to release a third-grade spell?”

“This is the Third-Grade Spell, Thunder Barrier!” Teacher Horatio said slowly, with astonishment in his eyes. “This child showed no special talent during classes and remained so low-profile one couldn’t even sense his presence. I would never ever have expected that he has already mastered third-grade magic!”

“If he can release third-grade spells, he is pretty much a Third-Grade Magician!”

“To change from a complete novice to a Third-Grade Magician within three months of enrollment, such talent is simply unheard of!”

“Such a genius!!!”

The teachers were very emotional. The shock and amazement in their words were beyond concealing. What would qualify one as a Third-Grade Magician?

Third-grade spiritual power, third-grade magic reserve, and the ability to release third-grade magic spells—all three conditions must be fulfilled!

With sufficient spiritual power and magic power, but without being able to release third-grade spells, one would still not be a Third-Grade Magician. That’s just like how many Dragon People had strong magical reserves from birth, but they weren’t even Magicians!

Although a Third-Grade Magician was also in the category of Low-Level Magicians, to become a Third-Grade Magician within a mere three months was almost impossible!

One would have to improve their spiritual power and magic reserve while studying magic at the same time!

Which of those didn’t take a lot of time?

Three months?

What was that timeframe enough for!? Many people couldn’t reach this level in their entire lives!

“Tsk! What’s so awesome about that?”

Upon seeing the teachers praise Meng Lei like this, many Dragon People youths felt jealous, but this didn’t stop Meng Lei from continuing his magic release!

Under Meng Lei’s summoning, a large number of Thunder Elements joined together, gradually forming a silver shield that covered the radius of three meters around them!

The shield solidified from an illusory state and finally completely stabilized. The whole process was completely smooth and natural, as unimpeded as mercury dropping onto the ground!

“It took 19 seconds!”

“The spell casting time can be said to be very short!”

“No extra magic leakage!”

“The magic power consumed is extremely little!”

“The release of this Thunder Shield is very smooth and can be considered perfect!”
