In the hall on the eleventh floor, many students exchanged looks with each other. Many of them who were regarded as geniuses by the local people had their taste of failure for the first time.
"Next, Jiang Qingyue," Chief Lu commanded in a deep voice.
When her name was called, even Jiang Qingyue, who was used to seeing the world, couldn't help feeling nervous.
She walked forward nervously, very worried that she would not be able to pass the test.
"Take a deep breath. Don't be too nervous. Let's start."
Lu Yudao said with a smile.
Jiang Qingyue nodded. She recalled the method that Bai Ze had taught her last night.
She then began to deploy it.
The students who gathered around to look were focused on Jiang Qingyue's delicate face and beautiful figure. They didn't notice the technique that the girl was using at all.
The hall became quiet. In a few seconds, the magic power in Jiang Qingyue's body started to churn violently.
Bang!
A muffled boom was heard next.
Four blood-red fireballs appeared in the air all of a sudden.
The fireballs blazed and formed a ring, rotating around Jiang Qingyue's body. Then, they spread outwards at a rapid speed.
The entire process took less than three seconds, but the intense heat was blinding.
Everyone was shocked, and those who were close to her subconsciously tried to activate their spells to block it.
They didn't expect that the first person to deploy the rule successfully would be a beautiful woman.
Those geniuses who were full of confidence and thought that the difficulty of the rule was too high immediately revealed a look of shame on their faces.
The few students who had successfully passed the test were similarly astounded.
In order to reach this stage, they had not slept the entire night. The hardships they had gone through were unimaginable.
No one expected that a seemingly fragile girl could actually achieve this.
Everyone was secretly full of admiration. At the same time, they felt that Jiang Qingyue's ability to comprehend was very strong.
At this moment, Lu Yudao, who was standing on one side, immediately flashed a satisfied smile.
Until now, Jiang Qingyue was the most successful student he had seen so far.
Not only did she successfully condense the flames, but she also shaped them into a ring and achieved the effect of spreading it.
This level of comprehension ability was considered outstanding.
"Jiang Qingyue, you did well. When the tools for training arrive tomorrow, you can choose one first."
Lu Yudao wasn't stingy with his praise.
Jiang Qingyue's face was a little red with embarrassment from the praise, and she ran back to Bai Ze's side as if she was escaping.
"Next, Bai Ze."
Bai Ze immediately walked out of the crowd when he heard Chief Lu calling his name.
He walked to the Chief's side with a calm expression.
The few students standing around saw that the person who came out was the one who recorded the video yesterday.
They burst out laughing at once and teased him. "Friend, you watched the video last night. You must have attained some enlightenment. Hurry up and let everyone see your latest results."
"That's right. I've worked hard for most of the night and still haven't succeeded. If I had known earlier, I would've recorded a video and watched it at home. Maybe I could've passed the test."
Though he saw everyone mocking and ridiculing him, Bai Ze didn't care.
The Chief was worried that the other students would hurt Bai Ze's self-confidence, so he smiled and said encouragingly, "This is called the spirit of exploration and seeking knowledge. Retaining the video is also a way to learn. What's the difference?"
"You guys, on the other hand, can't even form three fireballs, and you still have the mood to joke about others."
The few students who had been livening up the atmosphere earlier were instantly stunned. Immediately, they lowered their heads in shame.
"Bai Ze, do your best and don't be affected by others. This Repelling Fire Ring is not a big deal. The most important thing is to condense a fireball. Shaping and spreading are both things that test your spiritual power, so it doesn't matter if you don't do that part well."
"Release the magic power in your body. Don't be afraid of failure."
Lu Yudao patted Bai Ze's shoulder and looked at him with a reassuring smile.
[Received personal coaching by rule enhancer, Lu Yudao. Your Repelling Fire Ring has been enlightened with great wisdom and has achieved massive enlightenment. Your proficiency has broken through the Familiar level and has been raised to the Mastery level!]
Hearing this, Bai Ze was suddenly stunned.
What the hell?
There was still an unexpected surprise!
He was feeling quite excited. The Repelling Fire Ring was a B-class rule, and it was powerful enough to crack open a mountain if practiced to the Mastery level. He could even take on a fourth ring mage head-on and stand undefeated!
"Besides, the rules that Bai Ze is currently cultivating are ice, lightning and wind types primarily. Fire type rules are more difficult to learn, so it's normal to fail."
Lu Yudao didn't notice Bai Ze's change in mood and continued talking.
"Alright, let's not talk about anything else. Bai Ze, you can start now."
Bai Ze nodded with an evil smile on his face.
Right now, he was really looking forward to seeing the expression on Chief Lu's face when he deployed the Repelling Fire Ring at the Mastery level in front of him.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Bai Ze began to mobilize the magic power in his body.
His spiritual power was several times stronger than other mages of the same level, so he did not need to prepare himself.
He began to cast it immediately.
The sea of magic power in his dantian churned furiously, and in the next moment, Bai Ze took a deep breath.
Roar!
The sound of force being exerted escaped from his throat.
In the next instant, flames appeared around Bai Ze, and the vision of the students nearby was blocked by the towering flames.
After a brief moment of blindness, everyone finally saw the fireball spell that appeared around Bai Ze.
"Five… six, no, eight! A total of eight fireballs!"
One of the students couldn't help shouting out immediately.
Everyone's hair stood on end!
That guy called Bai Ze! Was he a human or a demon!
How was it possible for him to cultivate a B-class rule to such an extent in a single day?
This level of power was probably almost on par with Chief Lu's Repelling Fire Ring!
Everyone gasped. The pupils of the police officers on the outer ring also shrank, and they stood frozen in place.
"This… I'm afraid this has already reached the Mastery level!"
Chief Lu's face twitched. He tried his best to stay calm, but his heart was still thumping madly from the shock.
The Repelling Fire Ring released by Bai Ze not only far exceeded the Chief's requirements, but it also reached a level many people could not achieve in their lifetime!
And all of this was just the result of what Bai Ze could achieve in one day.
This ability shocked everyone!
The entire hall on the eleventh floor fell silent.
Jiang Qingyue touched her face. When she found that she could still feel herself, she swallowed nervously.
She believed Bai Ze's practice progress might be above her own.
However, such a result was far beyond her expectations.
At this moment, she stared at Bai Ze standing beside Chief Lu, thinking that he felt somewhat unfamiliar to her.
There was a burnt smell in the air, and the wooden floor of the hall had turned black in some sections.
Seeing this, Bai Ze scratched his head in embarrassment. "I'm sorry. I didn't control my magic well and caused this damage here."
"Ahem… Well, you did a good job, just as I expected."
Chief Lu was the first to react. He gave Bai Ze a thumbs up and praised him profusely.
The police officers nearby were visibly shocked. It was the first time they had seen Chief Lu show signs of fluster on his face.
