Chapter 1: The Awakening of the Young Man! Thaumaturge...
"Today's test was very simple."
Houston habitually touched his hair, which was standing upright due to too much hair wax, and nodded towards a gigantic white boulder behind him: "Just go all out and charge upwards, let's see how many steps you can take on this rock. Only if your explosive power is sufficient, your speed is fast enough, and your body coordination is good enough, can you run higher. According to my usual practice of teaching students, being able to continuously charge nine steps upwards will be considered a pass."
"Nine Steps?"
As soon as Houston said this, the faces of most newborns turned black.
This assessment is indeed very simple, the professional term is called "running wall", running along a straight wall towards the sky, this is something that many practitioners like to do, there is a feeling of being able to run up to the endless sky.
The vast majority of newborns are also very clear that many speed and power amazing masters can completely without using the yuan particles, directly just straight run up to any straight wall of Sheng Li Ming College, all the way to the highest roof.
But for them, this new life was just a bit too difficult.
The boulder chosen by Houstoun is slightly inclined inwards and has no obvious footholds, making it even more difficult for them.
"Too despicable, too sinister."
Especially when they see Ailing's bulging belly, many freshmen can't help but curse this little notebook teacher in their hearts.
The higher you climb, the harder you fall.
Not to mention that Ailing can't run more than nine steps, even if he could, with his belly so full, if he fell down, wouldn't he vomit like a fountain?
"Is passing with just nine steps enough? Then, Houston teacher, you've led many students who were as good as us and could enter the academy team. How many more steps can they take during this test?" But what made most of the freshmen puzzled was that upon hearing Houston's words, Ailing showed an excited expression instead, and asked with eagerness:
"What a load of nonsense!" Houston cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he still had a gentle and amiable expression, smiling as he said: "Like those formidable characters from previous years, they probably could rush to the fifteenth step during my first test."
"Alright, I'm going to challenge their record!"
Ailin clenched her fist and swung it with force, her eyes fixed solely on that piece of stone!
"Bang!"
A heavy footstep suddenly rang out on this empty land of the Thinker's Stone Forest, causing everyone's heart to jump violently.
Everyone saw a puff of obvious dust bursting out under Ailin's feet, like a wave.
"How can there be such a powerful force!" Houston's smile froze instantly, and his heart was filled with a bad premonition in an instant.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!".....
Sudden footsteps sounded like drumbeats, starting heavy and then rapidly becoming lighter.
Under everyone's shocked gaze, Ailin, who was sprinting at high speed, also brought up a residual shadow.
"How can there be such an explosive force, such speed?" Houston was of course different from these newcomers, and it was only the first step when Ailing sprinted with all his might that he had already judged that Ailing's strength completely exceeded his imagination, and by the time Ailing rushed faster and faster, the complacency on his face had completely turned into shock.
"Ah!"
Ailin took his first step onto the white giant stone and let out a loud excited yell at the same time.
In almost everyone's newborn-like gaze at him as if he were a monster, he kept shouting "ah" loudly and running non-stop towards the sky!
His body rapidly rose higher and higher until it reached a height that everyone thought was impossible. He let out a strange, mutated cry as his entire body fell back down.
"Whoosh!"
What's even more shocking is that he didn't fall, but at the highest point he could reach, a somersault, landed on the ground, just pressed his hands on the ground for a moment, and stood up perfectly fine.
"You rushed up so many steps, how could you still stand firmly when you landed!"
Houston's hysterical screams echoed out.
One person thought they had the upper hand, but ended up failing repeatedly at the hands of the same person. The blow to their ego is really too great. Just look at Houston now. Even this little notebook teacher has started pulling his own hair out.
"How many steps did you rush up?"
All newborns unconsciously cast their gaze on that white giant stone.
There were very clear footprints in the dust on the white boulder.
"One, two, three, four... eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen!"
A burst of exclamation arose.
Sixteen steps!
When the voice of Huston's encouragement rose, Ailin was also very focused on counting and found that he had run sixteen steps forward. He suddenly shouted excitedly, "Teacher Huston! Teacher Huston! I ran sixteen steps! Broke the record!"
Houston's heart was already bleeding, and seeing Ailing so excited made him feel like his face had been trampled again.
"Is this some kind of enemy family sent to deliberately mess with me?"
Such an idea even emerged in his mind.
Although some excellent students he had brought up before have now become those guys who make him feel cold to think about, at that time in the first test they could indeed run out of fifteen or sixteen steps, but the key is that Ailin's belly is still so big!
What kind of bloodline is this guy from? Is his training really more intense than those guys back then?
"You rushed up so many steps, how can you still stand firmly when you land?" The person in front of him who was getting dizzy just repeated this sentence again and again.
"For the past two days, I've been practicing crashing into trees. When I crash into a tree, I try to flip over and land steadily on my feet. Now I can finally stand steady." Ailin explained seriously.
"Hit the tree? What's wrong with you, practicing hitting trees?"
"No, I did the basic exercises assigned by the teacher first and then practiced playing the piano."
"Finished doing my basic exercises, can I add more practice on my own?" Houston panted heavily, feeling that he would lose his mind again if he continued talking to Ailin.
"You all go test yourselves one by one, those who can't run nine steps, go around the Thinker's Stone Forest ten times and then come back."
He turned his head away, avoiding Ailin's face, suppressing the urge to vomit blood, telling himself to calm down, and gave such an order.
A newborn who dares to be angry but not dare to speak has started testing.
One after another muffled cries of pain began to ring out with the heavy thuds.
Very few people can rush through nine steps, more and more newborns leave, go out for a run.
The Thinker's Stone Lin's range was vast, with one circle unknowingly covering a great distance. Ten circles would be an inhuman torture, but among the increasingly fewer new-born crowds, Bero seemed to be completely carefree, his eyes under his glasses fixed on Lin Luolan beside him.
He was very interested in knowing how many steps Lin Luolan, who obviously had a high concentration of spiritual blood, could run in such a test.
In his expectant gaze, Lin Luolan finally began her test, and started running.
Not too much or too little, Lin Luolan ran nine steps forward on the giant stone and then landed, standing still, silently returning to her original position.
"Is it unwilling to waste energy or intentionally reserve strength?"
Bailu muttered to himself and also felt a bit dull, then he started running too.
At this time, a new player had already started the test, but after running for several steps, he found that Bero easily surpassed himself and ran ahead of him.
The newborn was shocked and stopped, then he saw Beiro running out of nine steps on the stone, and then fell down with his hands behind his back.
……
Moss was one of the last few who took part in the test.
Outside the Thinker's Stone Forest, he had already suffered a fatal blow, and just as Ailin directly ran out of 16 steps, it made his mind completely blank.
When he entered the Holy Dawn Academy, with his innate talent of being one-eighth giant bloodline, he thought he would definitely become a legendary mage in the history of the academy, far surpassing his peers. When he discovered that Lin Luolan's innate talent was even higher than his own, he had already felt somewhat stifled, and now he had always looked down on Ailin, thinking he wouldn't achieve anything, just wasting tuition fees, yet he turned out to be this powerful!
"Come on, Mos!"
Ailin was so excited when he saw Mos come on stage that he shouted loudly.
"I..."
Originally, Moss was already muddled, but when he saw Ailing cheering him on and Houston's eyes gleaming with envy, he knew that from now on, no matter what he said, Teacher Benben would never believe that he, Ailing, and Bero were not good friends.
He didn't know how he ran out, nor did he know how he was running on the stones. It wasn't until he fell heavily to the ground that he realized he had only run seven steps.
"Houston teacher, I also want to go run ten laps, can I?" After all the new students finished their tests and those who didn't pass had already run out of Thinker's Stone Forest, Ailin suddenly asked Houston.
Houston stumbled and almost fell.
"Are you really sent by my enemy to play with me?" Houston gritted his teeth, not letting the words out, then waved his hand, indicating that Elin could do as she pleased.
Ailin immediately ran out excitedly.
The disheartened Moss finally felt a sense of relief while running around the Thinker's Stone Forest, no longer having to see that shorty who brought him a crushing blow. The punishment run was easier now.
"Come on, Moss! Let's run!"
But a familiar voice rose, he turned his head and jumped back several meters, shouting, "Little dwarf, you're a ghost! Unrelenting spirit, I've already punished you with running, how are you still following me!"
"Get away from me! I don't want to see you!"
"Alright!"
Can't understand why Mos is starting one sprint after another with this attitude of Ailing.
"Go for it!"
I want to become stronger!
"Must condense the yuan particles!"
Under the sunlight, his continuously sprinting figure sprang out with many glittering sweat droplets.
