Chapter 185

Gao De's life returned to calm again.

Because the breakthrough is imminent, Gao De, who was a volume king in the first academic year, has been slow to take any courses in this second academic year.

This has been noticed by many students.

However, with Gao De's amazing results of 36 credits in the first academic year, no one would be stupid enough to think that Gao De is talented but exhausted, just thinking it is the confidence of an academic bully, not in a hurry to choose courses.

Dormitory, cultivation room, rune workshop.

This is Gao De's three-point-one-line life now.

He treats the promotion as a "big exam". The closer to the big exam, the more he needs to relax and maintain a good state.

So Gao De didn't let himself be too tight, and had a rare period of relaxation.

During this period, he took the time to build the spell model of 【Mechanical Switch Technique】.

So far, the number of spells in the spell library has reached "42".

However, after this, Gao De couldn't find any more channels to expand the number of spells.

After all, he had already mastered all the cantrip lists open in the academy.

And in the Saint Xi En Principality, where else can have a richer reserve of spell formulas than Seris Academy?

Definitely not.

He couldn't publicly seek to buy rare spell formulas either.

The official has always strictly prohibited private trading of spell formulas.

Day after day of repetition.

Gao De's cultivation progress is also steadily improving step by step.

Fog Frost Month, 6th.

Gao De walked out of the first-rank cultivation room.

Since the last breakthrough, exactly 33 days have passed.

The last small level of the guidance method finally broke through at this moment.

This means that his magic user level has reached a third-rank magic user apprentice.

9655th year of the Nolan Calendar, Awakening Month, 2nd, Gao De came to this world.

At that time, his meditation technique only manifested five petals, and the total amount of magic power was only enough for him to cast five cantrips in one breath.

Spending six hundred and four days, Gao De pushed the cultivation progress of the guidance method and meditation technique to perfection.

Compared to those "transmigrators" in novels in the previous life, this cultivation speed is indeed not very decent.

But in the Saint Xi En Principality, this is already a top-notch magic user talent.

At least Gao De is quite satisfied with this progress.

"Are you sure you want to apply for Soul-Ascension Water now?"

Committee, still that Committee Member Rachel, she looked at Gao De, feeling surprised in her heart.

If she remembered correctly, Gao De only barely reached a second-rank magic user apprentice during the enrollment test.

Only a year has passed, and the magic user level has been promoted to a third-rank magic user apprentice? "Yes, Committee Member Rachel, I feel I am ready, it is time to try to be promoted to a 1st-circle magic user."

"When did you reach the third-rank magic user apprentice?" Committee Member Rachel couldn't help but ask.

"Yesterday." Gao De told the truth.

Hearing this, Committee Member Rachel couldn't help but frown.

"How old are you this year?"

"Fourteen."

"Fourteen... That's still young, don't be so anxious, the golden period for promotion to a 1st-circle magic user is before twenty..."

"You just reached the third-rank magic user apprentice, you should accumulate for a year or two before trying to be promoted to a 1st-circle magic user."

"Expertise has a great influence on a magic user's future. If you accumulate for a year or two more as a third-rank magic user apprentice, you will have the opportunity to awaken more powerful expertise." Committee Member Rachel taught earnestly.

There are actually many students in Seris Academy who reach the third-rank magic user apprentice within one or two years of entering the academy.

But most people will stay as a third-rank magic user apprentice for another year or two before trying to be promoted.

"Look at Jielika, she stayed as a third-rank magic user apprentice for more than three years before going to be promoted to a 1st-circle magic user." It seems that she was afraid Gao De wouldn't listen, so Committee Member Rachel used Jielika as an example again.

"No, Committee Member Rachel, in my philosophy, magic user cultivation must go forward, I don't want to waste too much time at the magic user apprentice stage." Gao De insisted on going his own way.

Of course, the reason is that he had already accumulated enough foundation before reaching the third-rank magic user apprentice. "Okay." Committee Member Rachel did not have the right to interfere with the students' decisions. Since Gao De insisted, she stopped persuading him.

"But before that, we must test your magic user level first." She said again.

The time for students to reach the third-rank magic user apprentice has always been a large part of the weight of the application for Soul-Ascension Water.

This is to avoid students reporting early when their magic user level has not yet reached the third-rank magic user apprentice in order to pass the application for Soul-Ascension Water, maliciously increasing their "weight".

Gao De nodded, having no opinion.

"Come with me." Committee Member Rachel got up and said.

The world of magic users is not like the immortal cultivators in novels, who can know the other party's cultivation realm with a divine sense.

Unless the magic user is willing to cooperate with others, it is very difficult for others to accurately know their magic user level except for the magic user themselves.

Even if they cooperate, some external means are needed for testing.

Under the guidance of Committee Member Rachel, Gao De came to a quiet room.

The quiet room is not large and is empty.

But on the ground, you can clearly see complex rune traces.

Gao De saw it and knew that this was a complex test magic array.

"Go in, stand in the center."

Committee Member Rachel pointed directly to the center of the magic array.

Gao De nodded slightly, calmed his mood, and stepped into it.

As Gao De stood still, a slight magic power fluctuation immediately rippled in the air.

The runes on the ground that seemed to be sleeping gradually lit up at this moment, and the light intertwined into a complex pattern, wrapping Gao De in it.

The test began.

Gao De could feel an unknown power, starting from under his feet, slowly rising along his body, and then stopping when it reached his brow position.

The next moment, this power seemed to turn into a fine needle, stabbing fiercely toward his brow, trying to penetrate into it.

Gao De's mental power had already unconsciously formed a barrier to block this power.

"Hold on." Committee Member Rachel's voice came to his ear.

Gao De heard it and knew that this was the test method.

He closed his eyes tightly, focused his attention, and concentrated on resisting the penetration of the "needle".

As time passed, the light of the magic array became more and more dazzling, and then after reaching a peak, it dissipated completely.

Gao De slowly opened his eyes and looked at Committee Member Rachel on the side.

"If you can hold on for more than thirty seconds, it means your mental power has reached the third-rank magic user apprentice level."

"Next, come with me to test your magic power." Committee Member Rachel said.

Magic power testing is even simpler, casting twenty cantrips in one breath is enough to pass the test.

After finishing the test, the two returned to the office.

"I will help you submit the application. With your age, and your credit and performance in the first academic year, this application for Soul-Ascension Water will definitely pass."

Committee Member Rachel took out a document, filled in Gao De's information, and after Gao De confirmed it was correct, she said to him.

"About how many days will it take for me to get the Soul-Ascension Water?" Gao De couldn't help but ask.

"It will come down within a week, three days at the fastest." Committee Member Rachel said conservatively.

"Thank you, Committee Member Rachel." Gao De thanked.

Leaving from the committee, Gao De slowly exhaled a turbid breath.

He thought for a while, and then headed toward the Gavin Building.

He wants to inform He Xi first that he has submitted the application, and after the Soul-Ascension Water comes down, he will prepare to try to be promoted to a 1st-circle magic user in these few days.

Another thing is to ask He Xi for advice on the experience of rising circles.

After all, for Gao De, promotion is still something full of unknowns.

And He Xi, besides being a third-rank rune construction master, is also a 3rd-circle magic user, so his experience must be rich.
