Chapter 38

Finally, Jie Ming picked up the mobility-type Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool.

For this aspect, he made it into a belt shape, which can be directly fixed on the waist.

Injecting spiritual power, a soft but powerful energy field lifted him up.

Jie Ming hovered steadily in the center of the training ground; he controlled the spell, and his body gradually accelerated within the training ground!

Whoosh!

Jie Ming's figure gradually turned into an afterimage, galloping in the space of the training ground, his speed far exceeding the speed when he simply constructed flight spell runes with wizard meditation methods.

He shuttled flexibly between obstacles, emergency stops, changing directions, climbing, and diving, his movements smooth and swift.

The extra agility brought by the cultivation light-body spell made him as free as a fish in the air.

In just a few minutes, Jie Ming explored the space in the training ground and felt extremely satisfied with the speed and mobility brought by the mobility talisman.

Stopping and hovering in mid-air, he played with the prototypes of the Talisman Seal Wizarding Tools in his hand.

The training ground's energy absorption system was rapidly dissipating the energy fluctuations caused by his experiments, and the air was filled with a faint burnt smell and residual elemental fluctuations.

After repeated testing and fine-tuning, Jie Ming felt heartfelt satisfaction with the performance and potential of these three Talisman Seal Wizarding Tools.

They fully reached the goals he initially envisioned, and in terms of power, speed, and multi-functionality, they significantly surpassed wizards of the same level.

During the process of Jie Ming focusing on research and manufacturing, and repeatedly testing and optimizing these prototypes in the training ground, the news about the trial had also caused an uproar.

It wasn't until he walked out of the laboratory that he discovered that the matter of the trial was no longer the gossip Amy brought back, but an official academy announcement, which spread to every corner of the Nuolun Academy with a huge rune projection.

The apprentices reacted differently.

Some apprentices looked nervous, holding thick books, shuttling between the library and the classroom, frantically cramming the knowledge that might be used in the trial.

Others held their heads high, their eyes full of fighting spirit; they gathered in the training ground, testing their spells and magic guides, confidently believing that this was an excellent opportunity to show their talent and gain the favor of the higher levels of the academy.

Some were unusually calm about this, still learning and living at their own pace, seemingly not caring about the trial results at all.

Even more so, those apprentices with low talent ratings who were usually not valued were now rubbing their hands, their eyes flashing with unwillingness and desire.

They knew that in the actual combat of the wild plane, talent is not everything; tactics, wisdom, and sufficient preparation are equally important.

They wanted to take this opportunity to prove that they were no worse than those "geniuses."

Influenced by this news, the prices of various practical wizarding tools and potions in the school, especially some combat-type consumables—instant wizarding tools, emergency potions, simple scrolls, etc. —began to rise rapidly, even reaching several times the usual price.

This allowed those logistics-type apprentices who were originally struggling on the poverty line to make a small windfall.

But all this didn't mean much to Jie Ming.

Looking at the Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool flashing with faint light in his hand, feeling the power contained within it.

These were the crystallization of his hard work, which he had modified several times after several tests and finally completed.

"Although there are other ideas I want to verify, time is a bit too late... It seems that for this trial, I can only test the actual application effects of these three Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool prototypes first."

He put away the Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool, his eyes flashing with eager light.

On the huge teleportation array square, the air was filled with a complex and intense atmosphere.

Thousands of wizard apprentices of the same grade from Nuolun Academy gathered here, their faces full of excitement, nervousness, worry, eagerness, and uneasiness...

Various whispers and the sound of equipment colliding mixed together, forming a noisy torrent.

In the center of the square, the huge teleportation array glowed with a deep blue light, emitting heart-palpitating spatial fluctuations.

Jie Ming stood at the edge of the crowd, looking around calmly.

His hands hung naturally, but his fingertips were lightly rubbing the metal pendants hanging on his waist under his robe—that was the disguise of his Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool.

He observed those geniuses who were famous in the academy.

Most of them formed teams in twos and threes, wearing wizard robes or light armor that were clearly refined by themselves and carried powerful energy fluctuations, holding magic wands or energy guides of various styles in their hands.

Their momentum was significantly different from the ordinary apprentices around them, carrying an arrogance and confidence belonging to the strong.

"Jie Ming!"

A vibrant voice interrupted his observation.

Amy was wearing an apprentice robe that was lightweight but had complete protective runes, holding a magic potion bag that looked expensive, and walked quickly to his side.

"You don't look nervous at all." Amy said with a trace of admiration, "As expected of you."

Jie Ming showed a smile: "At least I've been studying for so long, I can handle this kind of scene."

Amy covered her mouth and smiled, then lowered her voice, carrying a trace of pride: "Speaking of which, thanks to your news last time!"

"Oh? What news?" Jie Ming asked.

"It's the specific information about the academy's trial you told me after you communicated with Instructor Clark last time, letting me prepare early!" Amy's eyes were shining, "I heard you say that the trial probably involves a new plane, and it's allowed to carry apprentice-level equipment and potions made by oneself... relying on this news, I made a big profit!"

"This is all your own ability." Jie Ming shook his head, "I just sent a message."

He wasn't being humble; Amy relied on her unimaginable interpersonal communication ability to immediately find several apprentice friends in the alchemy and potion departments to cooperate after obtaining this news.

They hoarded a batch of common raw materials in advance and also rushed to make a batch of apprentice-level wizarding tools and potions.

After the news of the trial was officially announced, Amy made a big profit while the prices of materials and consumables soared.

If ordinary students didn't have Amy's interpersonal communication ability, even if they really got this news, they wouldn't have much start-up capital and couldn't earn much at all.

"Besides, didn't you also give me a share?"

"Hey, those points are nothing, it's thanks to your help."

Amy waved her hand proudly, but soon frowned again: "However, this trial is so dangerous, people will definitely die... don't be careless."

"Don't worry, I'm prepared." Jie Ming said calmly.

Just then, a loud and majestic voice sounded in the center of the square.

"Quiet!"
