The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

Chapter 049 The Fate of the Man Who Said He Would Become a Legend (Mega Chapter)

On the viewing platform, Aisser gently swirled a glass of red wine, leaning back in her chair almost reclining, and said to Cromwell not far away with an air of arrogance, "Your ninth rank is indeed capable of reaching the ninth rank, but my Lorenwei's ninth rank is only the ninth rank."

Cromwell remained silent, his face expressionless.

After all, he was a hero, and even the Cromwell family didn't want to directly clash with him.

"It's just an S-rank talent assessment; it doesn't mean she'll necessarily be incredibly strong in the future. Little girl, you still need to train hard." Aisser spoke humbly in a high-profile tone, "That's why I applied to Moonlight Academy."

The onlookers were talking a lot.

The elemental assessment results for Lorenwei and others are definitely stronger than Cromwell's. The appearance of the Wood Spirit clearly demonstrates the high level of talent in the Wood element.

One teacher lamented, "While others are busy cultivating their wood element, geniuses can easily find a bed."

Those around her expressed their agreement, and one person whispered, "Look at the pose of the heroine Aisser on the stage, she's got victory in her grasp."

"Oh my hero, that pose is so sexy. I want to fall at her feet!"

"Pah! You're just lusting after her body!"

"Aren't you the same?"

"I'm not greedy, I like Lorenve."

"Pah! You're just after her mom's great figure so you can keep lusting after her in the future!"

"confidant."

A female student standing nearby angrily shouted, "Stop arguing! She's going to climb the Earth Department steps!"

Once on the mountain, Lorenwei put her shoes back on and, surrounded by the lingering wood elves, walked towards the second set of steps.

boom----

As Lorenwei approached, the ground trembled slightly.

A giant, yellow, earth-based stone figure appeared as an illusion on the steps.

"This is the embodiment of an earth-type spirit!" a teacher exclaimed.

The three-person-tall earth-elemental stone giant was much wider than the steps. It knelt on one knee somewhat clumsily and stretched out a thick arm towards Lorenwei's feet.

Without hesitation, Lorenwei stepped directly onto its arm.

The stone giant carefully cradled Lorenve, gently placing her on his shoulder, then slightly hunched over, as if afraid of shaking her off, and carried her uphill step by step.

Lorenwei was sent up to the ninth level of the Earth element without taking a single step!

The teacher commented: "The earth element should strive for self-improvement, and shoulder the responsibility of sending beauty directly."

"Great!" Melanie and Kurara cheered, eagerly anticipating what would happen next. "Third tier, fire element!"

"Could there be another strange phenomenon?" a teacher murmured.

Lorenwei patted the stone giant on the shoulder in gratitude as she climbed the mountain.

The fire-type staircase also exhibited unusual phenomena, though the movements were minor.

Whoosh—just as she was about to step onto the first step, a spinning wheel of fire appeared beneath her crystal shoe.

"Huh?" Lorenwei was surprised. This looks like a whirlwind.

Although it was a wheel of fire with no foot pedals, when Lorenwei stepped onto it, she felt as if she were standing on solid, flat ground, and she didn't feel any burning sensation at all.

With the second step, another flaming wheel appeared beneath his feet.

Immediately afterwards, two fiery wheels spun rapidly, effortlessly carrying Lorenwei upwards.

As a result, Lorenwei reached the ninth level of the fire staircase without her feet touching the ground!

The teacher continued admiringly, "The fire element is very fierce; I would gladly bet it to become a wheel of fire as my shoes."

Next was the water element. As Lorenwei left the fire element staircase and headed towards the water element section, strange phenomena began to appear on the blue staircase.

With the sound of crashing waves, towering waves suddenly appeared on the steps, the blue, translucent waves surging and turbulent, making it too dangerous for anyone else to approach.

Not afraid of fire, let alone water, Lorenwei continued to climb without stopping.

But before her feet could even touch the ground, the waves on the steps suddenly surged up, forming a transparent horse that shook its head and neighed, carrying Lorenwei on its back, its hooves kicking up water as it galloped higher.

This makes one wonder if the various elements are using different methods to help Lorenwei climb even higher?

The teacher who just commented with envy and jealousy: "The water-based acrobatics are quite impressive too; they can even run horses on the sea!"

"So cool, haha." Lorenwei dismounted at the highest point of the ninth level of the water element, patted the horse's head, and the horse, formed from ocean waves, lowered its head and affectionately rubbed against her.

On the viewing platform, Aisser looked around at everyone with a smug expression, only to see Cromwell's face turn ashen.

Dark Staircase.

As Lorenwei stepped into the dark realm, a large door suddenly appeared on the black staircase. The door opened by itself, revealing a mysterious nebula swirling within—clearly dark spatial magic.

Having witnessed many strange phenomena, Lorenwei was not worried and stepped directly into the spatial portal.

The spatial portal vanished abruptly, only to reappear instantly on the ninth-level dark-elemental staircase.

The door opened, and Lorenwei stepped out, standing directly at the highest point of the Dark Realm.

The teachers who knew magic were all discussing it.

Spatial magic is precious, but how much skill must a dark elementalist possess to open a spatial portal for Lorenwei at a mere nine steps?

The teacher who had previously studied dark magic knew all too well the immense cost of spatial magic, and upon seeing this, he couldn't help but tear up: "Dark magic is too shy to admit it, so even a ninth-tier user gets a spatial portal!"

"How convenient." Lorenwei patted the spatial portal and then headed towards the last part: the light-based staircase.

Cromwell, who was standing on the viewing platform, tried to remain calm, but he couldn't help but lean forward.

There was silence.

Lorenwei took another step, preparing to ascend the first white step.

bang——

Before Lorenwei could even land, two enormous wings suddenly unfurled behind her. The wings, several meters long, were pure white, shimmering with light as they flapped, and were semi-transparent, clearly composed of light elements.

The teacher said listlessly, "The light element is not ashamed; it will transform into wings and carry you flying!"

Without a word, Lorenwei's wings flapped gently, carrying her to the very top of the ninth step of the white staircase in the blink of an eye.

If everyone hadn't witnessed the formation of the wings of light, they might have mistaken it for the arrival of angels.

Lorenwei, a ninth-order Light-type cultivator, stood still.

She didn't take a single step.

Element sent her up.

It is also at the ninth level.

The entire arena erupted in thunderous applause and cheers. After all, the majority of supporters were from the academy. Cromwell's previous arrogance was utterly repulsive; how could anyone compare to the adorable Lorenwei? Not only was she pleasing to the eye, but she also ascended six sets of nine steps without breaking a sweat or even taking a single step. Who could possibly disagree?

However, some observant people found it a little strange: Why didn't Lorenwei automatically return to the origin point at the foot of the mountain after completing the measurement? And why didn't the light wings on her back disappear?

"Six items at the ninth level, a draw with me." Cromwell, however, was an exception. He snorted and said to the headmaster, "It seems the bet is a draw."

Everyone knew he was being stubborn, so Bordonna didn't answer and looked at Ether.

“A draw? You don’t deserve it!” Aisser looked at Cromwell with disdain: “You only have a six-element S talent, yet you dare to be arrogant. It’s laughable.”

Cromwell's face darkened, and he naturally remained silent.

Ethers didn't bother arguing with him any further.

Aisser laughed, "The mountaintop is just a blank flat surface. Has anyone managed to stand firmly on the top?"

Bordonna asked, "Everyone was automatically teleported down. How come you're implying that there are even stronger beings who can stand on the mountaintop without being teleported?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a rumbling vibration came from the mountain.

On the mountain, all six elements of the ninth rank were deliberately dancing in their own forms.

Wood-type spirits are flying, earth-type giants are stomping, fire-type wheels are spinning, water-type steeds are galloping, dark-type doors are opening and closing, and light-type wings are fluttering.

The entire mountain was trembling.

It seems something is about to burst out of the ground.

However, with the blessing of the light-elemental wings, Lorenwei floated in mid-air completely unaffected.

Gradually, the mountaintop, which was originally an empty space, continued to grow taller.

To everyone's astonishment, a new mountain formation appeared.

Immediately afterwards, three colors of light—blue, purple, and gold—shone brightly.

In front of everyone, three new elemental staircases, each with nine levels, appeared on the newly grown mountain!

Meilan exclaimed in surprise, "City people really know how to have fun; they even have hidden staircases!"

Kurala was also surprised; it turned out that there were not only six elements but also three.

Many knowledgeable people present recognized the elements: the cyan ones were wind-elemental, the purple ones were lightning-elemental, and the bright gold ones were metal-elemental.

Many people immediately understood. It turned out that these three elemental ladders were hidden and required extremely high talent to activate.

Bordonna understood: Ethers was a descendant of Saint Elena and knew some of the hidden designs of the mountain.

Why did this new step appear?

No answer is needed; the answer lies in everyone's heart.

How can an ordinary person be qualified to determine their nine elemental talents?

These three new ones were created specifically for Lorenwei!

"Today, we will witness the determination of those with unparalleled talent!" a teacher said, his voice trembling.

Bordonna smiled and glanced at Aisser.

Ethers returned the smile.

Bordonna's eyes were filled with tenderness: "You have never let me down."

Aisser gently clinked her wine glass with hers: "I'll never disappoint you, no matter who else I disappoint."
