Chapter 1: Knockoff Goods?
A new week has begun, everyone please vote for this book to make it onto the charts! Xiao Huo bows to you all——
Lin Feng quickly adjusted his mood to the best state, and at the age of eleven, he still looked like a little kid. When he came to the Magic Guild branch in the small town for assessment, the old magic apprentice in charge of the assessment was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.
"In this day and age, even young kids are coming to take the certification exam for magicians. Are magicians now as common as warriors?"
These are the apprentice's own words.
For the old magic apprentice, whose beard had already turned white and looked about the same age as Old Karl, Lin Feng just rolled his eyes and didn't take it to heart.
"Alright, kiddo, come with me to test your magic level. You're really lucky to have found this place so quickly. In the south, there's only one branch of the Magic Guild."
Along with the old magic apprentice's complaints all the way, Lin Feng finally followed him to the place where they tested their magical levels.
Before him was a vast expanse of empty space, on which a gigantic transparent semi-circular dome directly covered the ground. Not far from Lin Feng's front, a small door opened on the dome. The old magic apprentice pointed to that small door and said to Lin Feng: "Alright, little guy, go in quickly!"
"But what should I do inside?"
Lin Feng looked at the empty space inside and couldn't help but ask, while also thinking to himself: Could it be that I just need to step inside and my magic level will increase?
The old magic apprentice, although nagging, didn't seem impatient: "Little guy, after you go in, just attack the magic shield with all your might, and the result will be displayed on the magic array. Don't underestimate this 'magic energy shield', it's the greatest alchemy product of today. Just use all your strength to attack the magic shield, don't worry, it can withstand a 9th-level great magician's micro-seal spell. Oh, don't look at me like that, are you here to take the certification exam for the Sacred Domain Magic Instructor? Hahaha, if so, then you'll have to go to the Imperial Capital's Magic Guild Headquarters to take the certification exam..."
"Alright, alright, I understand."
Lin Feng saw the old magic apprentice seemed to want to continue, and couldn't help but interrupt him. He then walked into the magical energy shield, still muttering to himself in a low voice: "Damn it, I've seen enough. This old guy isn't talking, he's just lonely..."
Walking into the center of the magical energy shield, Lin Feng looked at the old magic apprentice again and saw him hugging his arms to make a "rest assured attack" gesture, before taking a deep breath.
His current mental strength is at the level of a fourth-level magician, but his magic control ability is only at the third level. In other words, Lin Feng can release fourth-level magic, but he can't control the intensity of fourth-level magic at all. So this time, Lin Feng decided to use just one third-level magic.
According to Old Karl, a third-class magician's monthly salary is as much as five gold coins, which is equivalent to fifty silver coins, enough for him to buy sufficient food and water, rent a horse-drawn carriage to rush to the imperial capital, and even the tuition fees of the Paulo Academy should not be worried about.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng decided to use the strongest single-target attack in the third-level fire system magic, "Condensed Fire Blast", to test his magical level. As he muttered the incantation, a deep red Condensed Fire Blast about the size of a grain of rice appeared not far in front of him.
The old magic apprentice outside the magical canopy obviously recognized this magic, and when he saw that the little kid inside had released a third-level fire magic, his eyes widened in surprise.
He had originally thought that this little kid would at most be here to get certified as a level one magician, after all, the Empire's salary wasn't something you could just take for nothing. But he never could have imagined that this young-looking little kid would actually be a level three fire system magician!
My goodness! How old can this little kid be? At most twelve or thirteen years old?
At this age, he has already reached the level of a third-class fire system magician. This is simply a genius among geniuses!
That Cloud Soaring Law Saint "Harry" back then was probably like this too, right?
In an instant, the old magic apprentice decided that after this little guy finished the test, he would immediately report to the Magic Guild Headquarters - to have a person who is expected to become a Holy Domain mage assessed for their magic level. The guild president was so happy, and must have rewarded himself with something. Maybe he could even leave this godforsaken place and work at the bustling Magic Guild Headquarters in the Imperial Capital!
Thinking of this, the old magic apprentice secretly made up his mind that he should be nicer to the little guy!
But Lin Feng in the magic cloak had no idea what the old man outside was thinking, his whole mind was now focused on the magic in front of him.
Don't get me wrong, a small third-level magic spell wouldn't be difficult for Lin Feng to deal with. What really made Lin Feng hesitate was that when he released the Condensed Fire Blast, his heart suddenly moved...
This year, through Old Karl's meticulous research, he discovered that the electric current on Lin Feng's body should also belong to a kind of magic in theory, but didn't know why this strange magic was discovered for the first time. Under the thought of not understanding this problem, Old Karl could only repeatedly and continuously "disturb" Lin Feng. Even if Lin Feng had good patience, being disturbed by Old Karl for a long time would also make him feel annoyed, so he simply told Old Karl that "electric current" can be manufactured, and thus there was that unsuccessful "simple generator".
What moved Lin Feng's heart was exactly what Old Karl had muttered before: "Electricity is also a kind of magic in theory!"
He wondered what would happen if he were to simultaneously input the electric current in his body into the third-level magic spell, Condensed Flame Explosion.
With a thought, Lin Feng immediately began to channel the electric current in his body into the pea-sized Condensed Fireball in front of him. When he felt that it was almost full, Lin Feng let out a loud shout and swung his hand, sending the Condensed Fireball, mixed with electric current, smashing towards the Magical Energy Shield!
"Boom!"
A grain-sized Cong Huo Bao explosion occurred as soon as it came into contact with the magical energy shield, and flames burst forth from the shield at the same time. A six-pointed star magic array appeared above the light shield.
A magic circle was surging with a red glow, and in the center of the hexagram, a bronze three-leaf emblem symbol appeared.
All this indicates that Lin Feng's strength has been measured by the magical energy cover as a third-level fire system magician.
The old magic apprentice outside, with a big smile on his face, waved at Lin Feng and shouted loudly: "Congratulations, respected Third Grade Magician Sir! Come out quickly to receive your badge, robe and wand!"
But Lin Feng seemed as if he hadn't heard anything and stood silently in place, speechless.
Didn't the current you input into the explosion of condensed fire have any effect at all?
The old magic apprentice saw Lin Feng unmoved and couldn't help but urge again: "Master magician, hurry up and come out!"
*sigh*
Lin Feng saw that the magic energy shield really didn't react at all, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, shaking his head before walking out step by step.
"Haha, I really didn't expect you to reach the level of a third-class magician at such a young age!" The old magic apprentice greeted Lin Feng with great enthusiasm.
Just as Lin Feng walked out of the magical energy shield, the place where he was originally killed by Cong Huo suddenly burst into sparks with a "zi" sound.
"Huh?"
The old magic apprentice apparently heard this voice and couldn't help but look back in confusion, Lin Feng also subconsciously looked over.
Hiss... Bang!
Just as the two turned their heads, two electric sparks reappeared at the spot where the condensed fire had exploded earlier. Immediately following that, the magical energy shield, which was said to be able to withstand a 9th-level great magician's miniature seal, suddenly and abruptly exploded with a loud boom, creating an opening on its surface.
Looking at the gap on the hood, the old magic apprentice was surprised and couldn't close his mouth.
When he shifted his gaze to Lin Feng, Lin Feng innocently shrugged: "Not my problem, is this magic energy shield a knockoff?"
