Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

Three days passed quickly, and the day of the talent test finally arrived.

The huge square in the center of Huangjinzhuang was already packed with people.

Young people from all over the mainland craned their necks to look at the high platform in the square, their faces filled with barely suppressed excitement and trepidation.

They clenched their fists, their palms sweating, praying repeatedly that they would be one of the lucky few to be discovered to have wizarding talent, soaring to new heights and breaking free from the shackles of the mortal world.

Luo Kunlun mingled at the back of the crowd, his gaze calmly sweeping across the high platform.

Three figures were already standing on the stage; they were the wizards in charge of the talent test.

To be precise, he was a wizard's apprentice.

On the left is an elderly man with gray hair, a thin figure, wearing a faded white cloak, his face deeply lined, and his eyes cloudy yet profound.

In the middle stood a burly man, easily two meters tall, with bulging muscles and bare arms covered in hideous scars. He wore heavy steel gloves, exuding a fierce aura.

On the right was a young man with bright red hair, narrow eyes, and a faint smile on his lips. When he glanced at the people below, his gaze carried an undisguised contempt.

Luo Kunlun's gaze lingered briefly on the three of them, and he had already made his judgment.

Apart from the white-haired old man who gave him an instinctive sense of crisis, the other burly men and red-haired youths, despite their powerful auras, did not pose any threat to him.

"No formal wizards? Are there none? Or are they on that giant ship?"

Thinking of this, Luo Kunlun's mind stirred, and his previously restrained aura contracted again. All the blood and energy around him were contained, making him look like an ordinary guard with a tall stature and some brute strength, without any sharp edge.

This is a concealment technique that prevents one's aura from escaping while keeping the body relaxed.

When you don't know the other party's capabilities, it's always best to keep a low profile.

As the white-haired old man raised his hand to signal, the talent test officially began.

The old man took out a crystal ball the size of a fist from his black pocket, then placed it on the stone table in the center of the platform. His voice was aged yet extremely penetrating:

"Come up one by one, place your right hand on the crystal ball, don't think about anything, keep your mind empty."

The boys immediately lined up and stepped forward in order.

Everyone's face was filled with tension, some even with trembling legs. As they walked to the stone table, they placed their trembling hands on the crystal ball.

Time passed slowly, at most half a minute. If the crystal ball showed no abnormalities, the old man would wave his hand and calmly tell the boy to leave.

This means that this person has no wizarding talent.

Sighs echoed across the square, and most of the teenagers could only leave the platform with disappointment and resentment.

The situation only changed when the nine hundredth boy stepped forward.

She was a blonde, blue-eyed girl dressed in gorgeous clothes, with an exquisite face and noble demeanor; she was a princess of a country.

The moment her palm touched the crystal ball, wisps of white mist suddenly rose from the originally clear crystal ball.

At the same time, a faint silver sheen appeared on the surface of the crystal ball.

"A fifth-tier talent, somewhat valuable, and even a bit of a bonus. Go to the next one." The white-haired old man spoke calmly, his tone as indifferent as if he were evaluating a product, utterly unmoved.

But the blonde princess seemed to hear heavenly music. Her face instantly lit up with a joyful smile. She was so excited that she trembled all over and even forgot to bow. She turned around and ran towards the designated area on the right side of the platform.

For her, this was the key to changing her destiny.

Even the most beautiful princess is ultimately just a tool for political marriage, but becoming a wizard grants her independent power and status, a height that mortals can hardly reach.

All eyes in the square instantly focused on her, some with envy, some with jealousy, and many noblemen with obvious burning desire in their eyes.

Everyone knows that once you become a wizard, your future status and position will be completely different.

The testing continued, and as time went on, a second and a third gifted teenager emerged.

Each time the crystal ball lit up, it caused quite a stir. The lucky ones were overjoyed, while the others became increasingly nervous, both expectant and anxious.

"Looks like we're in luck this time." When the fifth gifted individual appeared, the white-haired old man finally showed a rare smile, his tone tinged with pleasure.

According to past practice, in a place like the continent of Volo, which is not large and has not particularly good magical conditions, it would be considered good if two or three talented individuals were found in a routine test. However, five have appeared in such a short period of time, which is simply a once-in-a-century stroke of good luck.

"Fifth-tier talent, go to the back." The old man looked at the fifth boy in front of him, who was Charlie.

"I actually have talent?!" Charlie's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, then he burst into uncontrollable ecstasy, almost jumping up.

I was at that awkward, immature age, always fantasizing that I could have the power to control the wind and rain.

Now that his dream has come true, he would probably be running and cheering wildly if he weren't in front of a large audience.

He suppressed his excitement, bowed deeply to the old man, and walked briskly to the side, his pride and excitement impossible to hide.

Isa stood in the crowd, watching her brother's back, her eyes filled with joy and deep envy.

She was tested before Charlie, but she didn't have the talent.

Soon, it was Wu Ke's turn.

The boy took a deep breath, suppressing his nervousness, and walked step by step onto the platform, gently placing his right hand on the crystal ball.

The moment his palm touched the crystal ball, something unexpected happened!

The crystal ball suddenly burst forth with a light five times stronger than before, and the mist inside was no longer wispy but shimmering like rolling water vapor.

"This...this is?!" Even the red-haired youth stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with shock.

The white-haired elder's pupils constricted sharply as he stared intently at the crystal ball. His calm expression shattered instantly, and he exclaimed in shock, "Third-class talent! It's actually a third-class talent!"

Wizarding talents are divided into five levels, with level five being the lowest and level one being the highest.

Although a fifth-grade talent is only the lowest level, it is already rare on this continent where magic is scarce. At most, one can open their spiritual sea and become an apprentice in three years.

A fourth-class talent is already considered quite good; even the strongest elder only possesses a fourth-class talent.

A third-class talent is already considered a minor genius.

Because the highest level of talent a wild talent can achieve is this, unless they come from a wizarding family.

The square erupted in chaos. Everyone stared in disbelief at Wu Ke on the platform, their eyes filled with shock.

Although they didn't know what a third-class talent meant, seeing how shocked the wizard was, it was clearly something extraordinary.

Wu Ke himself was stunned, staring at the radiant crystal ball in his hand, momentarily forgetting to react. It wasn't until the old man's voice rang out again that he came to his senses, a shy yet excited smile appearing on his face. After bowing to the old man, he quickly walked to the right side, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

The disturbance caused by Wu Ke quickly subsided, and the testing continued.

Soon, it was Luo Kunlun's turn to step forward.
