Free Web NovelChapter 2: Chapter 2: Talent Witchcraft
’It seems the most crucial thing in the Wizard World is Spiritual Power Talent.’
Andre turned his back to Victoria and Rui Qi, sifting through the knowledge inheritance from his Bloodline. It was his only support right now, and his only way to learn about Wizards in advance.
But just as he tried to access more knowledge about Wizards from his inherited memories, chains formed from pure hatred sealed away the rest of the Bloodline’s legacy.
Andre’s scalp tingled as he looked at these Chains of Hatred. Before he could even touch them, he knew how to unlock this Divine Art.
Revenge! This long-lost Supreme God ancestor wanted Andre to avenge him. Only by killing those three Level 6 Great Wizards could he obtain the rest of the Bloodline’s knowledge inheritance and legacy.
Upon learning this condition, Andre immediately decided he didn’t want this Bloodline knowledge inheritance!
’You, a Supreme God, blessed by the world’s consciousness and with power equivalent to a Level 6 Great Wizard, died while being besieged by three of them. You couldn’t even escape. And you want *me* to avenge you? Aren’t you overestimating a descendant from a minor branch of the family like me!’
Andre felt completely helpless about this. He was a Transmigrator with a bit of luck, but at the end of the day, he was just an ordinary person who had accidentally awakened his Bloodline inheritance.
’And now you want me to get revenge on three Level 6 Great Wizards? A single hair from one of them could crush me to death.’
’I transmigrated just to gain three Level 6 Great Wizards as enemies.’
Andre pushed the Bloodline knowledge inheritance to the back of his mind.
Revenge? He’d think about it if he ever became a Level 6 Great Wizard. If that day ever came, *then* he might put vengeance back on the table.
While Andre’s mood soured because of the Bloodline inheritance, two more people came over. Their Spiritual Power Talent was also at the Fourth Level. After greeting the three of them, they waited to see if any other companions with the same Talent would show up.
But even after everyone else had left, no one else came.
"This time, there are two with Fifth Level Talent, three with Fourth Level Talent, and twenty-two with Third Level Talent."
Huo Lin recorded everyone who had qualified. With a wave of her hand, the city gates opened.
"Those who qualify, enter the gates. The rest of you, leave."
After speaking, Huo Lin vanished on the spot. She didn’t need to handle the remaining matters; they could be left to the other Wizard Apprentices.
Victoria walked at the very front, with Rui Qi and Andre beside her. Vivian and Yian followed behind.
After the five of them entered Qianyuan City, they were led onto flying carriages by Wizard Apprentices. The other qualified candidates were also put on flying carriages. These new recruits would be taken to a designated location, where they would board an airship bound for the Senbai Wizard World’s Main Continent, White Stone Continent.
There, these new bloods of the Wizard World would study, undergo trials, and fight to the death, becoming one of the Wizards and embarking on the path to seek Truth.
’Truth, Truth... what is this Truth that Wizards pursue?’
Andre sighed inwardly as he sat in the flying carriage. At this moment, his heart was filled with immense confusion.
The sudden change in his identity had left him at a loss.
Just as Andre was sighing to himself, streams of data materialized before him, coalescing into a panel.
’Deep Blue?’ Andre blinked, glanced to the side, and confirmed that no one else could see what he was seeing. He understood now—this was his "golden finger" as a Transmigrator.
[Name] Andre
[Personality] Lord of Truth (Pseudo, Improvable)
[Age] 16
[Power] 1 freewёbnoνel.com
[Speed] 1
[Constitution] 1
[Spirit] 2
[Talent] Fourth Level Limit
[Bloodline] Divine Descendant (Sealed)
[Ability] Eye of Origin (Pseudo, Improvable)
[Truth] None
Andre stared at his stats on the System panel that had suddenly appeared, muttering to himself.
’I already knew I was a Divine Descendant from the information in my Bloodline inheritance, but what’s this Eye of Origin? And this Personality?’
’Where did these come from? If mine is pseudo, then who has the real one?’
’Does this mean the System I have is incomplete?’
For a moment, countless questions swirled in Andre’s mind. But he knew he could never reveal this information. Even if his Personality and Ability were labeled as "pseudo," he couldn’t tell a soul.
Among a group like Wizards, who pursue Truth, they wouldn’t care if the things you possess are fake. They only care if those things can help them build their own Ladder of Truth.
’Stay calm, stay calm.’
Andre silently closed his eyes, repeatedly telling himself what was most important now. He had to pass the upcoming assessment and become a Wizard. As long as he passed, one of the greatest hurdles of his life would be behind him.
’I have to keep this hidden.’
Andre waited quietly for the flying carriage to land. While waiting for the other successful candidates at the city gate, he had overheard the specific details of the second test from Victoria and Rui Qi’s conversation.
The second test was designed to assess everyone’s specific Talent.
Unlike the first test, which measured Spiritual Power Talent, the second test determined which Wizard Faction one was suited for.
Different Ladders of Truth gave rise to different Wizard systems, which are known as Wizard Schools in the Wizard World. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Some people are born with powerful minds, making them suitable for the Mind Faction or Soul Faction.
Others have strong Spiritual Power and a delicate mind, making them suited for studying Demon Patterns, Witch Medicine, or Witchcraft Artifacts.
Still others are sensitive to certain special energies, making them suitable for the Energy Wizard School.
As someone who had awakened a Divine Bloodline, he was certain something unusual would happen during his test.
And that was exactly what Andre was worried about. He was afraid his Divine Bloodline would be exposed.
His Bloodline might be useless to the three Level 6 Great Wizards who killed his ancestor 3,000 years ago, but that didn’t mean it was useless to other Low Level Wizards in this world.
’I hope this seal keeps things quiet. It would be best if nothing happens at all.’
As Andre hoped, the flying carriage slowly descended and landed.
After it came to a stop, Andre and the others could hear the sound of crashing waves from inside the carriage.
Then, the Wizard Apprentice driving the carriage told them to disembark and meet up with the new Wizard bloods from the other Subcontinents.
When they stepped out of the carriage, they discovered that hundreds of people were already here, undergoing the second test.
As rays of light shot up one after another, the Talents of these new Wizard bloods were being determined.
Just then, Huo Lin descended, mounted on a flying steed.
"Form a line. Those with better Spiritual Power Talent to the front."
After landing, Huo Lin put away her steed and looked at Andre’s group. Victoria, without hesitation, stood at the very front.
Andre, Rui Qi, and the others lined up behind Victoria. Before long, a Test Stone Pillar became available, and Huo Lin led them toward it.
"Sorry to trouble you, Wizard Bai En."
Huo Lin went to the front and took a pouch from her robes, placing it in the hands of the Wizard in charge of the test.
"Sigh. I hope a few promising candidates show up. Otherwise, it won’t reflect well on the Realm Master."
Wizard Bai En was an old man. As he spoke, he opened the pouch, poured the Magic Stones inside into his hand, and methodically replaced the old Magic Stones on the Test Stone Pillar one by one.
"Alright, come on up, little lady. Your great-great-grandfather and I were old friends."
After replacing the Magic Stones, Wizard Bai En activated the Test Stone Pillar and spoke to Victoria, who was at the front.
Victoria bowed to Wizard Bai En, then placed her hand on the Test Stone Pillar. Instantly, the sound of rushing water came from the pillar. A light rose, and an image of a vast sea appeared above Victoria.
"Decent Talent. Energy School. Next."
Wizard Bai En nodded as he looked at the image manifested by the Test Stone Pillar, then gestured to Rui Qi, who was behind Victoria.
Rui Qi followed Victoria’s example, bowing to Wizard Bai En before placing her hand on the Test Stone Pillar.
This time, nothing unusual appeared. Only a pillar of pure white light floated above.
"Oh? Not bad. Light Power. Energy School."
Wizard Bai En looked at Rui Qi and nodded with satisfaction. Huo Lin nodded as well.
A Talent for the Light Element was quite rare.
Next, it was Andre’s turn. He took a deep breath, bowed to Wizard Bai En, and placed his right hand on the Test Stone Pillar.
After his hand touched the pillar, Andre felt a cool Power spread from his right hand throughout his body. Then, this Power rushed to the top of his head and gathered in his eyes.
When the Power dissipated, an incredibly dense, deep purple light rose from the Test Stone Pillar, forming a metallic disk.
This metallic disk was composed of countless concentric rings.
On each ring, innumerable, densely packed characters flowed ceaselessly. As the characters flowed, the metallic disk also began to spin. Immediately after, the disk split in two and settled into Andre’s pupils. Instantly, his eyes turned a deep purple, appearing incredibly profound and mysterious. In their very depths, the metallic disk slowly rotated.
"Hiss... A truly promising one has appeared. He’s awakened a Pupil Witchcraft, the Eye of Truth."
Wizard Bai En stood up and met Andre’s gaze. After observing him for a good while, Bai En nodded in satisfaction and slapped Andre’s hand off the Test Stone Pillar.
"Ah!" As his hand fell, Andre quickly covered his eyes. They felt incredibly sore and strained.
"What Level is this kid’s Talent?"
Wizard Bai En sat down and asked Huo Lin, who was standing to the side.
Huo Lin also wiped the surprised expression from her face and looked at Wizard Bai En.
"His Spiritual Power is at the Fourth Level Limit. In Qianyuan Wizard’s assessment, he is considered Level 5."
"Mm, that old friend of mine does have a good eye. With that level of Spiritual Power Talent plus the Talent Witchcraft, the Eye of Truth, classifying him as Fifth Level isn’t an exaggeration at all. Huo Lin, you’ve really struck gold this time."
Wizard Bai En nodded in satisfaction after hearing Qianyuan Wizard’s evaluation of Andre.
