Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Meanwhile, Lin Gui also began his trial to become a tower.

As the provider of mages for each Hero's Conquest, Thousand Towers provides mages at the Tower level.

If the Tower Master represents the pinnacle of magical abilities among all types of magicians, then he is the absolute authority.

Then Ta Zi is an absolute magical genius among all kinds of magic.

This pattern was broken with the arrival of Lin Gui.

Sky Academy, Magic Energy Testing Room.

The testing room was a spacious circular stone chamber with a high dome and walls inlaid with a fine array of runes.

In the center was a low table with several fist-sized crystal balls on it, completely transparent with a faint fluorescent glow flowing inside.

Standing beside the table, besides Wayne, was a middle-aged man wearing a dark purple robe.

His hair was neatly combed, and he wore thin-rimmed glasses on his nose, giving him a serious and composed demeanor.

Harold Gray, the vice-principal of Sky Academy, was sent by the Thousand Towers Council to give Lin Gui preferential treatment.

Harold looked at Lin Gui with a perfunctory politeness.

"Please place your hand on the detection ball."

Lin Gui nodded, stretched out his hand, and placed his palm on the surface of the crystal ball.

The fluorescent light inside the crystal ball began to flow.

The color gradually changes from transparent to light blue, and finally a number condenses in the center of the sphere.

[Initial Magic Power: 26.]

The room fell silent for a moment.

Wayne stared at the crystal ball, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Harold was stunned, and almost dropped the registration board in his hand.

"Initial magical energy...26??"

Wayne's voice was filled with disbelief.

Harold was silent for several seconds, then thought for a moment and said.

"The instrument might be faulty."

"I'll choose another one."

As the best magic academy in Akara, Sky Academy uses the best and most accurate magic energy testing equipment.

In all his years of coaching, he has never seen a mistake.

But compared to the Undying Sun Captain who can cast levitation spells without chanting, he's a magical waste.

He was more inclined to believe that the instrument had malfunctioned.

Wayne didn't stop him, he just nodded silently.

Harold turned around, took a new testing ball from a nearby locker, and placed it in front of Lin Gui.

"Try again."

Lin Gui placed his hand on it.

The numbers jump, then freeze.

[Initial Magic Power: 26.]

Harold's lips twitched.

He changed it again.

[Initial Magic Power: 26.]

Change it again.

[Initial Magic Power: 26.]

Ten test balls.

The numbers measured for each one were exactly the same.

26.

Wayne and Harold stood side by side.

They stared at the neatly arranged crystal balls on the table and fell silent.

Lin Gui stood to the side and shrugged.

"As I've already said, my initial magic power is very low."

Wayne turned to look at him, his expression as complicated as if he had swallowed a whole fly.

"At twenty-three years old, you have the magical reserves to break through to a high-ranking level..."

"It shouldn't be this low."

"At least……"

He frowned, as if searching for a less offensive way to put it.

"Shouldn't we at least meet the requirements of those outrageous, misleading private magic academies?"

Magic academies at the beginner to intermediate levels.

Besides the Royal Academy of Magic, there are other magic academies located in the Magic District.

Most of them are private, specifically set up to extort mages from other city-states who come seeking their fame.

This provides a fallback option for students who cannot gain admission to the Royal Magic Academy.

Their admission requirements are very low.

Wayne remembered that even the worst academy required an initial magic power of 30.

Lin Gui's initial magical power wasn't even enough to warrant extortion by those magic academies.

By the way, the entrance requirement for the Royal Magic Academy is 60.

In other words, White, even in the gray area, has talent that far surpasses Lin Gui's.

All the way from the Wind Tower to the Sky Academy for a physical fitness test, Lin Gui kept telling Wayne that his talent was very poor.

Wayne had already made some mental preparations, but he never expected it to be this bad.

Even Harold, the vice dean standing to the side, began to question his existence.

He turned to look at Wayne, his tone implying, "Are you kidding me?"

Are you sure...?

"Is he the newly minted captain of the Undying Sun Blaze, who shocked the entire Transportation Guild not long ago?"

"Instead of you just sending someone to fool me and the parliament?"

Wayne wasn't angry.

Even he himself had some doubts.

If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I would have been amazed by Lin Gui's levitation technique without chanting.

At this moment, he has probably already begun to check whether Lin Gui is some imposter.

"Wind Element Affinity Ball"

The Elemental Affinity Orb is a special item used to test a mage's affinity for the ten elemental magics.

If the magic energy detection ball is a direct indicator of a mage's talent for cultivation, then...

So, the elemental affinity ball is the second key indicator for judging a mage's potential to cultivate elemental magic.

Students with higher initial magical energy cultivate faster.

Students with high elemental affinity are able to grasp the essence of a particular type of magic more deeply.

These two indicators are crucial for high-level mages to break through to the extraordinary realm.

Wayne believed that the Forest Spirit would be able to levitate without chanting.

Its affinity with wind elements is definitely not low.

"At least it won't be too low." That's what he thought.

Lin Gui placed his hand on the Wind Element Affinity Orb.

The numbers popped up.

[Wind element affinity: 19.]

Wayne's expression froze.

"Try another department."

Lin Gui placed his hand on the elemental orbs of different colors one by one.

[Metal element affinity: 29.]

Wood element affinity: 12.

[Water element affinity: 10.]

Fire elemental affinity: 13.

Earth element affinity: 28.

[Wind element affinity: 19.]

[Electrical affinity: 12.]

[Ice Element Affinity: 12.]

[Light Element Affinity: 17]

[Dark element affinity: 32.]

After a series of measurements were taken, Wayne completely broke down.

He stood in front of the testing table.

He stared at the neatly arranged numbers for a long time without saying a word.

Vice Dean Harold added insult to injury from the sidelines.

"Given his elemental affinity, it seems like going to the wind element would be a bit of a delay..."

"We should go to the Dark Magic Tower—"

He paused, as if he had remembered something.

"Oh no, it's the Concealment Tower."

Wayne's lips twitched.

The vice dean sighed and offered a reminder from the side.

"If this data is sent to Dawn..."

"Even if he knows levitation without chanting, even if we give him special treatment and send him to the location of the wind-elemental tower..."

"Even Dawn wouldn't allow him to join the Hero's team."

"and--"

He glanced at Lin Gui, his tone carrying a realistic concern.

"With this talent, are you sure he can break through to the extraordinary level before the Warrior's Challenge begins?"

"The Demon God's current strength is at the upper level of the extraordinary realm. Surely we, the Thousand Towers, can send a high-level one over there?"

"This is so embarrassing."

Wayne raised his hand to cover his face.

"I was very certain before."

"But now..."

He lowered his hand, turned to look at Lin Gui, and spoke with a question that came from the depths of his soul.

"How can your talent be so terrible?"

Lin Gui shrugged.

"Is it my fault?"
