The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord

Chapter 7

Lin En lay on the ground for more than ten minutes, then managed to catch his breath and got up from the ground.

He was exhausted, holding his hands on the ground, and his body was shaking slightly, but he finally regained some strength and began to sort out the current situation.

He knew that the reason why he was able to survive by chance just now was entirely because he tried his best.

In order to ensure that the effect of "The Art of Akira" was sufficient, he exhausted all his mental power in one breath, and the subsequent continuous attacks were even more exhaustive.

Excessive use of mental power made his brain feel like it was being hammered, with tingling sensations coming from time to time.

Lin En touched his forehead and closed his eyes for a while to make sure that apart from the severe pain in his head, his body was not seriously injured.

Although he was pushed away by the blond boy just now, because he rolled a few times, he luckily avoided the opponent's final counterattack and did not leave any fatal wounds on his body.

The only damage was to his hands.

While holding the bone spurs and attacking wildly, he used too much force, and his palm was accidentally cut by the tough bone spurs. Although the wound was not deep, the burning pain still reminded him of the life-threatening battle he had just experienced.

Lin En looked down at his blood-stained hands, a hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of his mouth, and murmured:

"You calculate mentally but not intentionally...but it's still so difficult to win..."

At this moment, he felt lucky to have survived the disaster, but also felt deeply tired.

Even if he made a detailed plan, he still couldn't escape the embarrassing ending.

However, no matter how thrilling the process was, he survived in the end.

The first time he killed someone, Linn thought he would feel intense discomfort and guilt, but at this moment he was surprisingly calm.

Perhaps because this was a life-and-death duel, or perhaps because the adrenaline in his body that had not yet receded made his nerves numb, he did not feel any discomfort, but instead felt more calm and relieved.

"Those who kill will always be killed... I am also avenging those who were killed by him."

Linn murmured softly, looked up at the body of the blond boy, his eyes were cold, and then turned away without taking another look.

After sitting there and resting for a while, Lin En confirmed that he was in good enough condition to walk, then picked up his rhinoceros and walked in the agreed direction with a slightly weak pace.

Lin En has not forgotten that this mission is still an assessment after all.

He looked at the rhino beside him and understood in his heart:

The reason why the blond boy kept carrying the rhinoceros was obviously because he had to take the prey to report to the wizard.

Not long after, Linn finally reached the entrance of the animal enclosure.

From a distance, he saw three figures standing at the entrance. One of them was the scar-faced wizard, and the other two were two strong young men.

Lin En couldn't help but frown. These two people were most likely the blond boy's companions.

"Russell, why are you here so slowly?"

One of the young men with a straight nose saw a figure in the distance and immediately said hello with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone.

But before he finished speaking, his expression froze.

Because the person coming from a distance was not the familiar blond boy Russell, but a strange face they had never seen before.

"If the Russell you are talking about is the blond guy, then he probably won't be able to come."

Linn dragged the rhinoceros slowly closer, his eyes swept over the two teenagers, and finally rested on the scar-faced wizard.

He smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone.

The pupils of the two teenagers shrank slightly in an instant, causing waves in their hearts.

Who is this guy in front of me? He could actually let Russell stay in the animal pen and bring the rhinoceros out alone!

However, before they had time to ask any more questions, the scar-faced wizard spoke coldly:

"Well, it is indeed the last one. The three of you have passed the test, come with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

When Lin En heard this, his heart finally fell, but he kept a calm expression on his face and followed him silently.

Although the other two teenagers were wary of Lin En, they still looked at each other and followed closely.

The furnace is very large and is divided into multiple areas, and the animal pen is just a corner of the furnace, a place specifically used to capture and raise monsters.

The living area for wizards and wizard apprentices is far away from the animal pen and is located in the core area deeper in the furnace.

Lin En and the other two teenagers followed the Scarface wizard all the way along the winding road.

The scenery on both sides is constantly changing. At first, it was a desolate land full of wild beasts, and gradually transitioned to a flatter area, as if entering another world.

The scar-faced wizard remained silent, walking steadily and quickly, showing no interest in communicating with them.

Lin En and the other two teenagers also remained silent.

The three of them were silent all the way, only the sound of footsteps echoed on the empty road.

Eventually, they were taken to an area with dense buildings.

This is the living area in the furnace. As far as the eye can see, there are scattered pavilions and wide squares, and the people coming and going are also quite diverse.

Linn noticed that without exception, these people were all wearing uniform style and finely tailored robes.

What's even more striking is that whenever they pass by, almost everyone will stop, bow their heads to the leading scar-faced wizard, and actively give way. Their movements are full of respect and fear.

"This guy's status is indeed not low..."

Lin En was secretly amazed, and had a new guess about the identity and strength of the scarred wizard.

Amidst many greetings and gazes, Lin En and the other two were brought to a multi-story building in the center of the living area.

The building was magnificent, with complex runes engraved on the exterior walls, faintly revealing mysterious power fluctuations.

There was a reception desk at the entrance of the building, and behind it sat a man who was flipping through documents.

The man was wearing a well-cut wizard robe, and he had a capable aura.

"Lord Dray, welcome back!"

When the man saw the scarred wizard, he immediately put down the documents in his hand, stood up and saluted, then glanced at Lin En and the other two, with a little surprise in his tone:

"Is this the last batch of freshmen this year? There are only three?"

"Yeah."

The scarred wizard called Dray nodded slightly, and said in a cold tone, "I'll leave them to you, Colin. Finally, say hello to your teacher for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he said no more, turned around and left, leaving behind a capable and indifferent back.

"Yes, sir."

The man called Colin nodded slightly, watched Dray leave, and turned his eyes to Lin En and the other two again.

He looked at them for a moment, and a decent smile appeared on his face.

"Do you three want to go somewhere?"

Colin's tone was gentle.

Lin En was stunned and speechless for a moment.

He knew almost nothing about the internal situation of the furnace, so naturally he couldn't say where he was going.

Before he opened his mouth, the two teenagers behind him could not wait to answer.

"Master Colin, I want to go to the Potions Department."

"Master Colin, I hope to join the Alchemy Department."

After hearing this, Colin nodded slightly and pointed to a wall not far away. There was an exquisite map hanging on the wall, which marked the distribution of various areas in the furnace.

"Okay, there is a map over there, go and report yourself."

Colin waved his hand and turned his eyes to Lin En at the end. Seeing Lin En's confused expression, he said with a little surprise:

"I didn't expect that I would see a pure newcomer coming in after being here for several years..."
