The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 176 Trial Challenge, Knowledge Assessment

The sudden movement suddenly attracted the attention of everyone around.

Almost immediately, many people couldn't help but show up and rushed towards the Tower of Stars.

However, just when they were about to push open the door of the Tower of Stars with faces full of ecstasy, they were knocked away by an invisible wave of air.

"What's going on?"

"Why can't you get in?"

"Damn it, there is a defensive array!"

Several impatient wizard apprentices couldn't help but cast spells towards the door, trying to break through the defensive circle.

But after the magic circle landed on the door, it was like a mud cow sinking into the sea, without any ripples.

The next moment, a light suddenly flashed from the top of the tower, and several streams of light fell from the sky, hitting the wizard apprentices who attacked the gate.

Several people didn't even have time to scream, and they were instantly wiped out.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the people surrounding the tower suddenly changed, and they backed away in panic.

"What is that?" the traveler gasped.

Even from hundreds of meters away, he could feel the rich energy fluctuations contained in the stream of light just now.

That was a terrifying energy intensity that was enough to kill him instantly!

"The spell turret," Su Nan said, "is one of the standard combat devices of the wizard tower. It can easily kill a three-ring legendary knight with one shot."

Scepter, Traveler and Qiangwei all looked at Sunan in surprise.

"How do you know?" Qiangwei asked curiously.

Sunan shrugged and did not answer.

With the fate of those unlucky ones as a warning, the surrounding wizard apprentices and legendary knights suddenly did not dare to act rashly.

"Get out of my way!"

A cold shout suddenly sounded, followed by a short scream.

Maivic took the lead and flew towards the Tower of Stars, and in the middle of the way, he swung his lightning to kill a wizard apprentice who was blocking the way.

Seeing this, the others retreated to both sides.

They don't have the confidence or strength to fight against a third-level wizard apprentice.

Ignoring the glares of those around them who dared not speak out, the members of the Council of Truth all stared at the Tower of Stars, their eyes flashing with excitement or ecstasy.

The tower in front of them is their hope to be promoted to wizard!

Without hesitation, Megison and others immediately took out the sigil stone.

A faint shimmer emerged from the surface of the sigil stone and quickly spread to everyone's body, completely covering them.

The next second, more than ten people disappeared out of thin air.

This scene immediately caused a commotion in the surrounding area.

"It's gone, no, they went in!"

"Why can they get in?"

"Is it because of the stone? Is there some kind of medium required to enter the tower?"

After realizing this, everyone suddenly looked around with twinkling eyes.

Among the people present, there may be someone holding the same kind of stone!

"Those guys got on first." The traveler clicked his tongue.

Even so, there was no trace of panic in his tone.

After all, they have four third-level wizard apprentices and a three-ring legendary knight here, not to mention Sunan sitting in charge, so they are not afraid of the mob around them.

"Without further ado, let's go in."

Sunan stood up first and walked towards the Tower of Stars.

Seeing this, the others stood up and followed.

The combination of five people was already quite conspicuous, but now that they moved, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

When they saw them stopping in front of the Tower of Stars and spreading their palms to reveal the stones between their palms, someone finally couldn't help it anymore.

A wizard apprentice suddenly raised his hand and shot out a black light, which split the air and rushed towards Qiangwei.

Almost at the same time, the two legendary knights suddenly rose up, jumped at Key and the Traveler respectively, and slashed the air with their swords.

The three people's actions seemed to have pressed a certain switch. In an instant, people around them took action, and dozens of people attacked Sunan and others.

It's not that they can't see how powerful Sunan and the others are, it's just that in the face of the temptation of the Tower of Stars, their inner greed finally defeated their reason.

Moreover, there were only five targets, unlike the ten people in the Parliament of Truth just now, and the besieging crowd numbered at least forty or fifty people. With the numerical advantage, there was no chance of grabbing the stone.

As for how to distribute it after grabbing it, that is a matter later.

But the next moment, they discovered how wrong their thinking was.

The moment they took action, Sunan, Scepter, Traveler and Qiangwei's counterattacks arrived at the same time.

Centered on the four people, dozens of spell missiles suddenly erupted, instantly piercing the seven or eight people who were rushing forward.

These sneak attackers, who were only one-level legendary at best, turned into corpses in one encounter!

Such a scene immediately frightened the remaining people to stay in place, hesitating and not daring to step forward.

However, the four people from Sunan did not intend to let them go. They fired spells one after another and soon killed the besieging people to pieces.

These second-level wizard apprentices and first-level legendary knights were no different from ants that could be easily crushed to death in front of Sunan and his party.

Even if the former has more than ten times the numerical advantage.

After realizing the disparity in strength between them and Sunan and others, the crowd around them that was ready to move suddenly stopped.

No one dared to take action anymore, they just stayed in the distance and looked at them with a mixture of fear and jealousy.

The four people in Sunan didn't care, as if they had crushed a few ants to death.

All their attention was focused on the sigil stone.

As the sigil stone emitted a faint light that spread throughout the body, the next moment, the five people disappeared from the spot at the same time.

When he came to his senses again, Sunan found that he was already in a wide hall.

The entire hall is paved with white jade, and the surface is engraved with mysterious lines, which seem to contain some kind of rules and have a strange beauty.

The entire hall looks somewhat similar to the control center on the top floor of the Dragon Skeleton Tower, except that it is more spacious, and there are many criss-crossing gaps on the surrounding walls, faintly outlined into a rectangle close to the ground, which seems to be a closed door.

The ceiling at the top is at least a hundred meters above the ground. It is densely inlaid with precious eternal pearls, which illuminate the entire hall extremely brightly.

Just as Sunan was observing the hall, a sound suddenly came from the void.

[Intruder detected, start scanning! 】

[The scan is completed. The entrant is a third-level wizard apprentice and meets the inheritance conditions. The inheritance process is now started! 】

[Welcome to the Tower of Stars, wizard apprentice! 】

The void more than ten meters in front of Sunan suddenly lit up, and a shadow appeared out of thin air.

It was a gray-white flesh ball as tall as a man, with a dense mouth covered on the surface, and fine fangs vaguely visible inside.

At this moment, hundreds of mouths opened and closed at the same time, making a slightly mechanical and monotonous sound.

[I am the tower spirit of the Tower of Stars and the examiner who presides over the trial. 】

[According to the rules of the Tower of Stars, all entrants will have the opportunity to challenge the trial. If the challenge is successful, you will receive inheritance rewards. Do you want to challenge? 】Su Nan did not answer immediately, but looked at the meat ball who claimed to be the tower spirit with great interest.

Without even thinking about it, he knew that the so-called pagoda spirit was fake and was mostly the maker's boast.

The pagoda spirit is so precious. Even if a wizard left a legacy thousands of years ago, he would not be willing to leave the pagoda spirit in a place like this.

Moreover, the tone of voice of the meat ball in front of him could not hide his dullness and mechanical feeling. He was obviously not very intelligent, at most better than Long Lin's Butler No. 1.

But then again, the taste of the builders of the Tower of Stars is really hard to describe, and they actually designed the appearance of the assisted intelligent life to be so tasteful.

After secretly cursing, Su Nan said loudly:

"challenge!"

The meat ball was silent for a second or two, and its mouth opened and closed at the same time again.

[Start the matching trial! 】

[The match is successful. Based on the age and level of the challenger, the trial difficulty is set to the highest level! 】

[Warm reminder, the trial is divided into three levels. Please complete it within ninety days, otherwise it will be judged as a failure! 】

[Now begins the first level, knowledge assessment! 】

As the voice fell, light and shadow flashed in front of Sunan, and ten phantoms suddenly appeared.

[Please choose three of the following ten materials to elaborate on their names, efficacy, growth environment and other information. The information density and accuracy must meet certain standards. 】

Listening to the voice in his ears and looking at the shadow in front of him, Su Nan felt inexplicably nostalgic.

It was a similar scene when I took the exam at the Wizarding Academy in my previous life.

"I didn't expect to have to take the exam here."

After sighing for a while, Sunan turned his attention back to the assessment in front of him.

Among the ten materials, there are magic plants, rare metals, and various other weird things.

Sunan took a quick glance and understood.

These materials are not extinct in today's Starlight Continent, but they are also very rare.

I guess it can only be seen in some classics.

It may be difficult for other wizard apprentices, but it is very simple for him.

Without hesitation, Sunan pointed directly at the first inconspicuous yellow grass on the far right and started to answer the question.

"Resurrection grass is an extremely cold-resistant magic plant. It mostly grows in harsh environments such as ice fields, volcanic areas, and miasma swamps. Its most famous ability is resurrection from the dead. It can be resurrected under almost complete dryness. It has It has extremely strong mutation ability. In order to adapt to the harsh living environment, certain mutations and evolutions often occur, resulting in the birth of many branches. "

"Resurrection grass contains strong vitality. Taking it directly can increase lifespan in a small amount. It can also be used to make potions. It is one of the main ingredients of Dawn Potion."

【pass. 】

Su Nan was not surprised, and moved his fingers lightly to the second material.

It was a small sapling that looked like silvery white, but was actually made of metal.

The leaf-shaped metal surface sparkles with starlight, which is extremely beautiful.

"Star silver is a rare metal. The growth environment must meet two conditions. One is that there are mineral veins nearby, and the other is that it must be exposed to moonlight, and it has very strict requirements on the concentration of energy particles."

"The malleability and conductivity of star silver are better than mithril. It can be used to make magic items or refine puppets."

Before Meatball could speak, Sunan pointed at the third crystal clear irregular crystal and said:

"Dragon crystal is a strange crystal that is accidentally born from the corpse of a dead dragon. It contains the essence of the entire dragon corpse and has a wide range of uses. It can be used to cultivate familiars, transform creatures, create magic items or refine puppets."

【pass. 】

A smile appeared on Sunan's face. This kind of material identification test question was not difficult for him.

Buzz!

Another ten shadows appeared, but this time they were replaced by ten kinds of strange creatures.

[Please choose three of the following ten organisms to elaborate on their names, growth environments, biological characteristics, etc. The information density and accuracy must meet certain standards. 】

"Is this time identifying creatures?"

Su Nan still looked calm, and his eyes fell on the first jellyfish on the left that was slightly emitting light blue fluorescence.

The jellyfish is white and umbrella-shaped, with densely packed eyes right in front of it. There are about 24 eyes scattered on the head. If you look closely, it will make your scalp numb.

"Umbrella jellyfish are social creatures that usually live in deep sea waters. They are highly poisonous. The organs in their bodies can be used to make potions, and the venom can be used as enchanting materials."

Immediately afterwards, Sunan picked the second-placed Demonized Eel and Throat Monster, and explained the information in turn.

Not surprisingly, Meatball gave a [passed] evaluation.

Easy pass again.

"The next thing is to identify something, come on."

Sunan smiled confidently.

But the shadow that appeared next surprised him. It was a book.

[Master this spell and cast it successfully]

Actually learning magic?

Sunan raised her eyebrows in surprise, but then felt relieved.

A spell usually involves more than ten or even dozens of knowledge, and many spells are connected by analogy.

Generally speaking, the more knowledgeable a wizard (apprentice) is, the easier it is to learn spells.

The reason why a high-level wizard can master a low-level spell in a short period of time is not only because of his high mental power, but also because the depth and breadth of his knowledge far exceed that of a wizard apprentice.

This is just like a doctor doing a problem for elementary school students, it is easy to grasp.

Su Nan briefly flipped through the book. The content on it was a zero-level spell called 'Bone Arrow'.

He thought about it, and it seemed that this was not included in the spell books he had collected so far.

If nothing else, it should be a self-created spell by the builder of Tower of Stars.

Thinking about it, since it is an assessment, spells that are not available outside must be given to prevent challengers from accidentally mastering spells, which will lead to unfairness.

"Zero-ring spell."

A smile appeared on Sunan's face.

Under normal circumstances, it would take twenty or thirty days for a third-level wizard apprentice to learn a zero-level spell, no matter how fast it is.

But he was different. With Goldfinger around, more than three days was considered too much.

After gathering his thoughts, Sunan began to read the books.

[Read "Bone Arrow Spell Model", 'Bone Arrow' learning progress +0.15%]

The progress of spell learning was faster than Sunan expected, and a progress reminder popped up almost every few minutes.

In just two days, Sunan successfully mastered this zero-level spell called Bone Arrow.

The moment the prompt appeared, he closed the book, stretched out his hand, and a pale and sharp bone arrow condensed out of thin air and hit the wall at the end.

With a bang, the bones shattered into pieces, leaving the wall intact.

【pass. 】

[Successfully passed the first level. 】
