Chapter 21: Astonishing Test (Part 3)
“Silver-white runes encircle the elemental sphere in concentric circles. Upon careful listening, one can even discern the faint chants emanating from within, and all of this resonates with Yuehai.”
Holy light, holy songs, lingering for a long time. It was as if celebrating the birth of a great being. Even Laogeri became somewhat stunned in the face of such a breathtaking scene.
“Is this… Could it be the legendary Radiant Physique that manifests when Light elemental affinity exceeds ninety percent?!”
Laogeri exclaimed with excitement, confirming his speculation. Even without Mirose saying anything, he could see it with his own eyes. He had seen light physiques of over fifty percent a few times before, although they also had a holy light, they did not manifest holy songs. The impact on Yuehai was completely different. Following this, the old man, who had suppressed his joy for over a hundred years, let out a roar that needed to be vented to stop!
Laogeri’s loss of composure didn’t catch the attention of Mirose and Leia because their minds were blank, drawn in by the songs from the elemental sphere, their souls seemingly soaring beyond the clouds.
Yuehai shrugged, thinking that when Mr. Kaming mentioned it, it seemed like no big deal. She thought Radiant Physique wasn’t anything special. However, looking at the reactions of these people, she realized her physique might be quite terrifying. Just look at the way Laogeri, that old man, was behaving like a mad dog.
“I, I, Laogeri, under the god of hope, can actually witness the Radiant Physique in my lifetime! This supreme sacred body, which appears only once in tens of thousands of years! This must be the guidance of the supreme god! Oh, my goodness! Even if I were to die now, I would have no regrets!”
Wow, that was a bit harsh. Yuehai stood quietly on the side, watching the three people with different expressions, appearing as if she had nothing to do with it. However, all of this was caused by her.
Time passed for another ten minutes.
“…” Laogeri, who had finally calmed down, looked at Yuehai again. Although he was much calmer than before, the sparkling light in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.
“Teacher?” Yuehai called with a hint of inquiry. Laogeri’s old face immediately lit up with a smile, answering gently, “Hmm? What’s the matter, Yuehai?”
No, I should be asking you what’s the matter! Is this still the domineering old man I knew before?
Yuehai scratched her head and said.
“Teacher, shouldn’t we finish testing the affinity for the eight major elements first?”
Standing around foolishly, what’s going on? Meanwhile, on the other side, Tyr has already had a battle with three magical creatures! Fortunately, they were weak. Apart from the first one, which posed a threat to Tyr due to some nervousness, the other two were practically taken care of with ease, or rather, one branch at a time.
“Yes, indeed…” Lord Laogeri nodded, but Yuehai couldn’t shake the feeling that the other person seemed to be floating lightly, as if weightless.
“Mirose, Elemental Master, continue testing Yuehai’s affinity for the next two major elements.”
“Mirose, Elemental Master?” Laogeri called for the second time with no response. It was then that he noticed Mirose’s lifeless eyes, as if she was gazing into the distance.
This made Lord Laogeri raise an eyebrow, “Could this little girl… have had an enlightenment? I didn’t expect that the holy chants contained in the Holy Light constitution could bring about enlightenment in a high-ranking elemental mage! No, it must be that her own comprehension ability is quite high; otherwise, no matter how many times the holy chants manifest, it would be of no use. Hmm, the Elemental Hall does have a good seedling.”
“Wow! Yuehai, you really scared me just now. I thought I saw heaven!” Leia patted her well-endowed chest, looking as if she still had lingering fear.
“Huh? I didn’t see anything!” Yuehai blinked her eyes, looked at the elemental sphere, and then glanced at Laogeri.
The old man seemed to be extremely happy at this moment, almost answering any question asked.
“The manifestation of the holy chants is your connection with the Holy Light. The two can be said to be one and the same. The elemental sphere serves as a medium, so it’s like how you can’t see yourself without external aids; similarly, the manifestation of the holy chants can only be seen clearly by outsiders!”
“I see!”
“Well, since Mirose is in enlightenment, I’ll personally measure your last two elemental affinities!”
“Yes! Thank you, teacher.”
“It’s a small matter!”
However, surprisingly, while Yuehai still had a forty percent affinity for the Dark element, her affinity for the Void element was unexpectedly zero!
After the ecstasy, the old man felt a bit downcast. After all, the Void element is one of the top eight elements. It has no elements that counter it, and its usability is extensive. It is a project that a high-level mage is bound to learn. Although the affinities for other elements in a mage’s body will increase to some extent when they reach the middle and high levels, having zero percent affinity for the Void element makes it difficult to learn any decent magic in this area. As a result, in the future, she might be at a slight disadvantage when facing others.
“It’s impossible. Logically, with the other affinities so high, the affinity for the Void element should follow suit!” Leia grumbled discontentedly, and Yuehai smiled helplessly.
“I think we should be content.”
According to Laogeri’s words, there probably hasn’t been a person like her in history. Even if there was, they might have been hidden away as a secret weapon by various empires. How could they be publicly announced, attracting the attention of other forces and becoming a target for assassination!
Imagine how terrifying it would be if such a monstrous talent were to grow up. It’s likely that hostile countries would immediately dispatch assassins, sparing no expense to assassinate her in her cradle.
Therefore, Yuehai expressed that she is already content. If her affinity for the Void element were any higher, who knows what catastrophic events might occur, even destabilizing the Duke’s residence!
