Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 40 Floating Giant Ship

The next morning.

Pei Ze arrived at the Tower Academy early.

The trial assembly point is in the central square of the academy.

The vast square was already overflowing with people, packed with countless wizard apprentices dressed in apprentice robes.

As far as the eye can see, there is only a dense mass of heads.

"Pei Ze, over here."

He heard a voice calling his name and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw Guan Ling waving at him from a short distance away, with Shao Hong, Yuan Wanjun, and others standing beside her.

Apart from him, all sixteen members of the Celestial Spirit Society were present.

Apart from Shao Hong, who had already advanced to the second-level wizard apprentice and was certain to pass the trial, everyone else wore tense and apprehensive expressions.

After all, this trial will eliminate a full thousand people!

There are only a little over six thousand wizard apprentices in the entire first year.

With an elimination rate of nearly one in six, they couldn't help but feel nervous.

"I really don't understand why the academy would set such a rule!" Guan Ling complained. "Eliminating a thousand apprentices at once is just too harsh!"

Yuan Wanjun shook his head and said, "Otherwise, why do you think the academy only graduates less than a thousand students each year?"

"The higher the grade of the apprentice, the more resources they need for cultivation. Since the academy's resources are limited, we can only reduce the number of students through trials."

"And being eliminated is considered good; many people die in the trials every year. I heard that more than two hundred people died last year!"

Upon hearing this, several girls couldn't help but turn slightly pale.

Seeing this, Shao Hong quickly comforted them, "Don't worry too much, everyone. As long as we're careful, we should have no problem passing the trial with our strength."

As a newly emerging society that has been quietly rising to the top this year, the Celestial Spirit Society is actually quite strong overall.

Aside from Pei Ze and Shao Hong, Yuan Wanjun, Guan Ling, and Jiang Weifang have all constructed their fifth Will Rune, and the others have all constructed their fourth Will Rune.

It's safe to say that as long as you're not too unlucky, passing the trial shouldn't be a problem.

As he spoke, Shao Hong glanced at Pei Ze almost imperceptibly.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but after more than ten days apart, Pei Ze seemed to be getting more and more unpredictable to him.

Standing next to Pei Ze, he actually felt a faint sense of oppression.

"I wonder how many Will Runes Pei Ze has created by now?"

Shao Hong wanted to ask Pei Ze, but couldn't bring himself to ask.

Even among members of the same society, it's not a good idea to rashly inquire about someone else's strength.

Just as they were hesitating, a commotion suddenly broke out.

As everyone turned to look, they saw a group of teenagers walking in from the entrance of the square, instantly attracting the attention of most people.

Among them, the man and woman who were the leaders attracted the most attention.

The boy had striking short, snow-white hair, a beautiful face like a woman's, and smooth, flawless skin.

If it weren't for her prominent Adam's apple, Pei Ze would have almost mistaken her for a dashing young woman.

And he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the boy looked somewhat familiar.

After staring at the boy for a moment, Pei Ze looked away and turned to another girl.

She was an extremely beautiful girl with thick black hair that reached her waist. Her pretty face was radiant with a smile, and the corners of her delicate mouth were slightly upturned. She looked both well-behaved and cute, but also seemed to have a hint of cunning.

"It's Yin Guang and Gu Lin!" Yuan Wanjun whispered.

Yin Guang!

Pei Ze suddenly realized why the boy looked familiar.

The other person's facial features were distinct and had many similarities to Yin Xue's, and their hair was also the same snow-white.

Furthermore, they both share the surname Yin. Could they be related?

"I heard that Yin Guang has already constructed his twelfth Will Rune."

"And Pei Shaoqi too."

"Sigh, it's infuriating to compare myself to others. I haven't even completed my fourth Will Rune yet, while these three are already close to becoming third-level wizard apprentices. I really don't know how they cultivated themselves!"

"It's a difference in talent. Don't compare yourself to geniuses; you're just making yourself miserable!"

"If you ask me, Gu Lin is undoubtedly the winner of this trial. She constructed the number 12 rune earlier than Pei Shaoqi and Yin Guang."

Hearing the surrounding chatter, the members of the Star Spirit Society looked at Gu Lin and Yin Guang with envy.

Shao Hong revealed a complex expression.

If possible, he also wanted to be in the spotlight like Gu Lin and Yin Guang.

However, this is just wishful thinking.

The difference between him and those two wasn't just in talent and aptitude, but also in their family backgrounds.

The Gu and Yin families are both among the top five wizarding families in the entire Dawn City, and their profound heritage is far beyond what his family background can compare to.

Compared to these two, he, a second-generation witch, was not much different from an ordinary person.

At that moment, another group of people entered the square.

The one leading the group was none other than Pei Shaoqi, whom the crowd had just been discussing.

Pei Ze's gaze fell on Pei Shaoqi, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

As if sensing his gaze, Pei Shaoqi suddenly turned his head to look.

When he met Pei Ze's gaze, a contemptuous smile appeared on his face. He then turned his head away, looking as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

Instead, Qi Meng, who was standing next to him, glared fiercely at Pei Ze.

Pei Zehun didn't care, smiled slightly and looked away.

Now is not the time to confront the Pei family.

But sooner or later, he will make the Pei family pay the price.

As time went by, more and more people gathered in the square.

When the time reached nine o'clock, a strange fluctuation suddenly enveloped the entire square.

In that instant, all the wizard apprentices felt the same thing and looked up at the sky in unison.

As if an invisible veil had been lifted, a colossal and magnificent warship slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

The massive ship, crafted entirely from refined gold, hovered steadily high in the sky, resembling a space fortress. Its imposing presence inspired awe in all who beheld it.

The giant ship adopted a multi-turret design, with hundreds of cannons open on both sides of the hull, from which rows of magic crossbows protruded, and the enchanted runes covering the cannons could be faintly seen.

Sunlight streamed down from the sky, passing through the massive hull and casting shadows that enveloped the entire plaza.

It was as if the entire sky had been replaced by a giant ship.

Faced with such a colossal creature, humanity is as insignificant as an ant.

Pei Ze looked somewhat dazed.

This floating behemoth is comparable to the aircraft carriers of the previous life!

Most of the apprentices were seeing such a magnificent floating ship for the first time, and they all showed expressions of utter shock.

How insignificant are the powers of a wizarding apprentice compared to the colossal floating ship that symbolizes the pinnacle of technology in the wizarding world?

"Time's up, everyone board the ship!"

A majestic and resonant voice suddenly came from above, echoing in everyone's ears.

The next instant, all the apprentices felt a blur before their eyes, and when they came to their senses, they were astonished to find themselves on a giant floating ship.
