Chapter 20: Astonishing Tests (Middle Part)
Compared to the previous seventy percent affinity with the fire element, the forty percent affinity with the wind element makes it somewhat more comfortable. However, upon careful consideration, it seems there hasn’t been anyone in history who excelled in affinity with all elements like this.
“Continue!” Laogeri’s face turned somewhat red, although his expression remained extremely calm. However, anyone observant would notice that the corners of his mouth were trying hard to suppress a smile, appearing somewhat twitchy.
“Yes!” Mirose took a deep breath, regaining her composure, thinking that she was a White Robe Elemental Master in the Elemental Hall. Not only was she young and exceptionally talented, but she also held a high position. She couldn’t let herself be disoriented by such a drastic change. Moreover, Lord Laogeri was watching here, and she couldn’t afford to lose her composure again.
With a composed heart, Mirose once again demonstrated the same technique as the second fire element test. Ripples appeared on the surface of the elemental sphere as her right-hand fingers moved, followed by a silent calm, akin to the tranquility before a storm.
Afterward, hundreds of lightning bolts surged out from the elemental sphere, crackling and flowing everywhere within the confined space of the elements, as if joyful fish swimming in water.
Watching the lightning of various sizes, Mirose’s feet weakened, and she spoke in a bewildered manner, “My lord… have I hallucinated? This is something mentioned only in textbooks — the manifestation of an eighty percent affinity with the Thunder Hell Constitution! How is it possible for me to witness dual affinities in one person!”
What kind of freak is this! The woman in the white robe couldn’t help but feel her head swell. She felt the whole world spinning, and with a stagger, she sat on the ground.
Laogeri’s originally slightly narrowed eyes were now wide open, and the astonishing results repeatedly shocked the old man’s soul. However, even so, Laogeri would not lose his composure. After all, the dual physique had existed for hundreds of years…
In just a moment, Laogeri returned to calmness, but the flush on his face took a while to fade!
After about a minute of silence, Laogeri slowly spoke, “Next is the test for the three superior attributes: Light, Dark, and Void elemental affinity. But before that, let me ask you a question.”
Laogeri looked at Yuehai with a firm gaze, as if he had strengthened some belief. He said very seriously, “Are you willing to become my disciple, Laogeri, under the god of hope?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Mirose, who was originally scared and lying on the ground, immediately jumped up. Even Leia, who was standing dumbfounded on the side, couldn’t help but be amazed!
“I, I didn’t hear it wrong, did I? The rumors say that Lord Laogeri, who hasn’t accepted disciples for more than ninety years, actually wants to personally accept Miss Yuehai! This…”
It’s simply unbelievable. After the incident between Lord Laogeri and the last disciple he accepted, it seemed like he had given up on taking disciples. Even the disciples who had already graduated received a cold reception. Many people thought that Lord Laogeri would never accept disciples again in his life, but they didn’t expect…
“I am waiting for your answer.”
Laogeri’s urging made Yuehai quickly react. In her heart, she muttered to herself, “I haven’t done anything special. How did I first receive teachings from Mr. Kaming, who imparted saint-level martial arts, and now become the disciple of this seemingly powerful old man? Is it that I’m destined to have famous teachers?”
“Thinking about it, Yuehai didn’t hesitate with her words. She bowed neatly and said, “Disciple Yuehai pays respects to the teacher.”
“Good.” After seeing Yuehai’s readily agreement, Laogeri finally showed a slight smile. After all, a genius like this is not something you come across every day. Being able to accept such an exceptional disciple would make any renowned teacher genuinely happy.
“Alright, since you have agreed, I will personally teach you magic from now on!”
“Yes.”
Mirose, watching from the side, couldn’t help but envy. Whether it was the Elemental Hall, the Barrier Hall, the Astrology Hall, or the Holy Healing Hall, even the Magic Master Hall, everyone hoped that Lord Laogeri would accept them as disciples. If one day Lord Laogeri announced that he would accept disciples widely, except for those hall masters who might be reluctant due to their face, almost everyone below the deputy hall master would go crazy to become his disciple.
So how could Mirose not envy? She could hold such a high position because she was a genius among geniuses. She had been without a mentor all this time because she wanted to attract the attention of the hall master or Lord Laogeri. However, she never expected that a girl who had just arrived at the Duke’s mansion two days ago would easily achieve her ultimate goal. This difference not only made her envy but also filled her with jealousy…
“Mirose, Elemental Master, move on to the next one!”
“Yes, yes!” Laogeri’s voice awakened Mirose, who was still unwilling. When she saw the old man’s eyes that seemed to see through everything, her heart jumped, and she dared not think randomly anymore.
“Sir, the next one is one of the three superior attributes, Light!”
“Good, let’s begin. This is also the one I look forward to the most!”
Mirose nodded solemnly, mentally prepared, and took out a shining object from her white robe. She threw it into the elemental sphere in one go.
In an instant… the entire space was filled with brilliance!
