Entering the test room behind the door, Haven ignored the shiny marble under his feet and the huge crystal chandelier hanging above his head, and cast his eyes straight to the row of chairs in the front.

There sat high-ranking priests of the Holy See of Light and recruiters from various major magic academies.

One of them was a middle-aged man wearing a white robe, with a badge mark on his chest that Haven had special attention for.

“That’s it!”

A smile appeared on Haven's face.

Before coming here, he had already inquired about what famous magic academies there were in the Kingdom of Finlay.

Among them, the Ernst School of Magic, named after the legendary Pope Ernst of the Holy See of Light, is the leading top magic school in the Holy Alliance and even the entire Magnolia Continent.

Even in the eyes of many people, Ernst College is the world's number one magic college.

With such a title, the threshold for admission to Ernst Academy is naturally very high. Almost all students who enter the academy are true geniuses in magic, and their future achievements are limitless.

Because of this, Ernst College enrolls only a small number of students each year.

Haiwen felt that he could definitely get in, but as for Linley...

Haven glanced at the nervous little boy beside him with some concern.

At this time, the black-robed priest stood on the central magic circle and said to everyone with a smile: "The test location is the central magic circle. Those who participate in the test please line up at the line outside the circle. No one is allowed to cross the white line. Anyone who violates the rules..."

The black-robed priest was still talking about precautions when Haven turned his head and said calmly, “Let’s go, Linley.”

“Ah…Oh!”

Linley nodded quickly, took the twenty gold coins from Hillman, held them in his two small hands, and followed Haven’s steps.

Soon, this year's magic talent test finally began.

There are many auxiliary tools for testing, but few of them can be used by the subjects.

Haven observed and found that the previous subjects basically only used two tools.

One is a glowing crystal ball, which should be a tool for judging elemental affinity based on the light it emits.

The other is the magic circle engraved on the ground, which seems to bring a kind of mental oppression and judge the subject's specific level of mental strength based on how long he persists.

"…Are the methods so crude?"

Haven looked speechlessly at the young man who was testing the magic circle.

Lin Lei beside him clenched his fists nervously.

Because he found that the elimination rate of this test was really high.

The boys and girls who were brought here could be said to have gone through a round of screening, but even so, none of the first ten subjects passed...

Among them, there was even a teenager whose mental strength was four times that of his peers, but he was still ruthlessly eliminated by the bald old man in charge of the test.

After seeing this scene, Linley finally realized how foolish he had been to be so complacent about the tenfold number.

“Don’t worry, Linley.”

Doehring Cowart appeared beside him and said with a smile, "With my six months of meditation training, your mental strength is at least fifteen times that of people your age. This number is quite good even among magicians!"

"May I?"

Linley couldn’t help but glance at Haven beside him.

Doehring Cowart was speechless for a moment, and said helplessly: "Don't compare yourself to him, this guy is a monster, a real monster!"

As he spoke, Doehring Cowart was suddenly stunned, because he found that the boy named Haven next to him seemed to glance at him faintly.

...How is this possible? !

Even if he has flown out of the ring, it would take a strong man at least at the Sanctuary level to discover him!

This kid... could it be that his mental power is comparable to that of a strong man in the Saint Realm?

Doehring Cowart was startled. Just as he was hesitating whether to return to the ring, Haven’s gaze shifted from him to Linley, and he said calmly, “Get ready. It will be your turn soon.”

"……Uh-huh!"

Linley nodded repeatedly, then took a few deep breaths to calm his excited mood.

Soon, the bald old man in charge of the test called out Linley Baruch's name.

Linley’s expression hardened. He took a step forward, walked to the center, and then placed his hand on the crystal ball.

“Buzz——”

In an instant, the entire crystal ball suddenly lit up, with dazzling ochre and azure light reflecting off each other in the crystal ball, with a faint trace of fiery red light mixed in.

The light was so dazzling that people nearby couldn't help but squint their eyes.

Afterwards, the entire hall fell into silence, and everyone stared blankly at the light in the center.

The bald old man in charge of the test looked at the paper in his hand with trembling eyes, then swallowed his saliva and said with great effort, “Linley Baruch, age eight, elemental affinity test, fire element is average, earth element and wind element are superb!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was in an uproar.

Even Doehring Cowart couldn’t help but look at Linley in surprise.

"...This kid is also super at wind?"

Linley had never imagined that he actually possessed three types of talents, and two of them were of the highest level.

To be honest, if he hadn't had the previous conversation with Doehring Cowart, he would have been very proud of this result.

But now…

Linley glanced at Hai Wen, who looked calm outside the magic circle, and thought to himself, “This is nothing. It’s far worse than my uncle!”

"Please stand in the center of the magic circle."

When it came to testing mental strength, the bald old man rarely used the word "please".

Linley was startled for a moment, then he nodded calmly and walked over.

When they reached the center of the magic circle, the light magic [Deterrence] was immediately activated, emitting a dazzling white light that enveloped Linley.

Linley frowned slightly, and immediately sensed a sense of mental intimidation and oppression.

At first, this feeling of oppression was not a big deal for Linley, but as time went by, the white light emitted by the magic circle became brighter and brighter, and the feeling of oppression became stronger and stronger.

Finally, Linley could no longer hold on and gritted his teeth as he knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his hands.

The atmosphere in the hall was silent for a moment, and then bursts of exclamations broke out like waves.

Because Linley’s mental strength test results far exceeded those of all the previous test subjects.

The bald old man said loudly: "The result of the mental strength test is eighteen times that of people of the same age. Excellent!"

Superb mental strength and elemental affinity!

This result is among the best in all the tests over the years.

Upon hearing Linley’s test results, the admissions officers from the major magic academies could no longer sit still. They all stood up excitedly and stepped forward, extending olive branches to the young man in the magic circle.

"quiet!"

The bald old man shouted solemnly, then glanced at them coldly and said, "Don't interrupt the testing process."

After saying this, the bald old man turned around, looked at Lin Lei and said kindly, “Lin Lei, go and have a rest first!”

"Well, thank you!"

Linley forced a smile, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and walked out of the range of the magic circle.

Haven came forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Well done."

Linley was slightly startled, then he said with a smile on his face, “Come on, uncle!”

When they returned to Uncle Hillman, who was full of excitement, a middle-aged man in a white robe was already waiting there. He smiled and said, “Superior mental power, super elemental affinity, and super dual-element affinity…”

“Lin Lei, we at Ernst College welcome you very much. Would you like to join us?”

Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Hillman was so excited that his arms were shaking. He wished he could agree to it on behalf of Linley right away.

Linley was also very happy, but he still bowed first and said politely, “It is an honor for me, Linley Baruch, to be invited by Ernst College. However, before I answer you, please allow me to ask for my uncle’s opinion.”

"Uncle?"

The middle-aged man in the white robe was slightly startled and turned his gaze to Uncle Hillman beside Linley.

Linley shook his head. “Uncle Hillman is the captain of my family’s guard team. My uncle is the one who is being tested now!”

"……Um?"

The middle-aged man in white robe was stunned when he heard this and subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.

At this moment, a brilliant and colorful light suddenly burst out from the center of the hall, blinding everyone in the hall.

Even this middle-aged man in white robe, who was quite powerful, narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

“This…how is this possible?!”

The bald old man stood up suddenly and looked at the figure in front of the crystal ball with shock on his face.

"The four elements of earth, fire, wind and water are superb!"

"And it's the best of the best!"

The middle-aged man in the white robe stared blankly at Hai Wen who had just taken his hand away from the crystal ball. He couldn’t help swallowing his saliva, turned his head, looked at Lin Lei and asked cautiously, “Is that… your uncle?”

Linley nodded calmly, with a look of ‘as expected’ on his face.

Afterwards, in the silence of the entire hall and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Haven calmly walked into the magic circle.

The bald old man came back to his senses and looked at the black-robed priest with excitement.

The black-robed priest nodded and immediately activated the magic circle to test mental strength.

The only difference from before was that this time he activated a more precise advanced magic circle.

This magic circle will convert all the magic power in the magic crystal into mental deterrence, so it will not emit white light like before. At the same time, its mental deterrence level does not start from the most basic one times, but suddenly increases to ten times the level.

But even so, Haiwen still stood in the center with a calm expression, as if he was completely unaware of any pressure.

Time passed by minute by minute, until one moment, Haven suddenly turned his head and looked at everyone in surprise.

“Has that… started?”

Everyone: “……?”

Do you listen to what people say?

The bald old man widened his eyes and couldn't help but look at the black-robed priest.

The black-robed priest nodded, and immediately increased the level of his mental deterrence significantly.

At this time, Haiwen finally realized that he seemed to have been tricked by them accidentally.

So he quickly raised his hand and said, "Report, I can't hold on any longer!"
