Synthesis Wizard.

Chapter 176 Trial Challenge, Knowledge Assessment
The sudden movement immediately attracted all the attention around.

Almost immediately, many people could not help but show up and rushed towards the Tower of Stars.

However, just as they were about to push open the door of the Tower of Stars with ecstasy on their faces, they were knocked away by an invisible air wave.

"what happened?"

"Why can't you get in?"

"Damn it, there's a defensive formation!"

Several impatient wizard apprentices could not help but cast spells towards the gate, trying to break through the defensive formation.

But after the magic circle fell on the door, it was like a drop in the ocean, without any ripples at all.

The next moment, a light suddenly flashed on the top of the tower, and several streams of light fell from the sky, hitting the wizard apprentices who were attacking the gate.

They didn't even have time to scream before they turned to ashes in an instant.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the people surrounding the tower suddenly changed, and they retreated in panic and kept their distance.

"What is that?" the traveler gasped.

Even though he was hundreds of meters away, he could still feel the rich energy fluctuations contained in the stream of light.

That was a terrifying energy intensity that was enough to kill him instantly!
"Spell Turret." Sunan said, "One of the standard combat devices of the Wizard Tower. It can easily kill a three-ring legendary knight in one shot."

The Scepter, the Traveler and the Rose all looked at Su Nan in surprise.

"How did you know?" Qiangwei asked curiously.

Sunan shrugged without answering.

With the fate of those unlucky guys as a warning, the surrounding wizard apprentices and legendary knights dared not act rashly anymore.

"Get out of my way!"

A cold shout suddenly rang out, followed by a short scream.

Maivic took the lead and flew towards the Tower of Stars. On the way, he casually swung a lightning bolt to kill a wizard apprentice who was blocking his way.

Seeing this, the others retreated to the sides.

They don't have the confidence and strength to fight against a third-level wizard apprentice.

Ignoring the angry gazes of the people around them, the members of the Parliament of Truth all stared at the Tower of Stars, with excitement or ecstasy flashing in their eyes.

The tall tower in front of them is their hope to become wizards!

Without hesitation, Megison and others immediately took out the talisman stone.

A faint glow emerged from the surface of the rune stone and quickly spread to everyone's body, completely enveloping them.

The next second, more than ten people disappeared out of thin air.

This scene immediately caused a commotion around.

"Gone, no, they went in!"

“Why were they allowed in?”

"Is it because of the stone? Some kind of medium is needed to enter the tower?"

After realizing this, everyone looked around with shining eyes.

Among the people present, there may be people who have the same kind of stone!
"Those guys got there first." The traveler sighed.

Even so, there was no panic in his tone.

After all, they have four third-level wizard apprentices and a three-ring legendary knight, not to mention Su Nan in charge, so they are not afraid of the mob around them at all.

"Without further delay, go in."

Sunan was the first to stand up and walk towards the Tower of Stars.

Seeing this, the others also stood up and followed.

The five-member group was already quite eye-catching, and now as they moved, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

When they saw them stop in front of the Tower of Stars and spread out their palms to reveal the stones in their palms, someone finally couldn't help it.

A wizard apprentice suddenly raised his hand and shot out a black light, which split the air and rushed towards Qiangwei.

Almost at the same time, the two legendary knights suddenly jumped up, pounced on Key and the Traveler respectively, and slashed down with swords to split the air.

The actions of the three men seemed to have pressed a switch. In an instant, the people around them all took action, and dozens of people attacked Su Nan and others at the same time.

It’s not that they can’t see how powerful Su Nan and his companions are, but in the face of the temptation of the Tower of Stars, their inner greed ultimately triumphs over reason.

Besides, there are only five targets, not more than ten people like the Parliament of Truth just now, and the besieging crowd has at least forty or fifty people. Relying on the advantage in numbers, there is a chance to grab the stone.

As for how to distribute it after getting it, that will be a matter for later.

But the next moment, they found out how wrong their thinking was.

The moment they took action, counterattacks from Sunan, Scepter, Traveler and Rose came at the same time.

Dozens of magic missiles suddenly exploded with the four people as the center, instantly penetrating the seven or eight people rushing in the front.

These sneak attackers, who were at most at the first-ring legendary level, were turned into corpses in the first encounter!
Such a scene immediately frightened the remaining people so much that they stood still, hesitating and not daring to move forward.

However, Su Nan and his four companions had no intention of letting them go. They cast spells one after another and soon killed all the besieging people.

These second-level wizard apprentices and first-ring legendary knights were no different from ants that could be easily crushed to death in front of Sunan and his group.

Even if the former has a numerical advantage of more than ten times.

After realizing the huge gap in strength between them and Su Nan and others, the crowd around them who were ready to make moves suddenly stopped.

No one dared to take action anymore. They just stayed at a distance and looked at them with a mixture of fear and jealousy.

Su Nan and the other three didn't care at all, as if they had just stepped on a few ants.

Their attention was focused on the sigil stone.

As the talisman stone emitted a faint light and spread to the whole body, the next moment, the five people disappeared from the spot at the same time.

When he came to his senses again, Sunan found himself in a spacious hall.

The entire hall is paved with white marble, and the surface is engraved with mysterious patterns. It seems to contain some kind of rules and has a strange beauty.

The entire hall looks somewhat similar to the control center on the top floor of the Dragon Skeleton Tower, except that it is more spacious, and there are many criss-crossing gaps on the surrounding walls, faintly outlining a rectangle close to the ground, which seems to be a tightly closed door.

The ceiling at the top is at least hundreds of meters from the ground, and is inlaid with densely packed precious Everlasting Pearls, illuminating the entire hall with incredible brightness.

Just as Su Nan was observing the hall, a sound suddenly came from the void.

[Intruder detected, scanning started! ]

[Scan completed, the person entering is a third-level wizard apprentice, meets the conditions for inheritance, and the inheritance process is now started! ]

【Welcome to the Tower of Stars, Wizard Apprentice! 】

The void more than ten meters in front of Su Nan suddenly lit up, and a phantom appeared out of thin air.

It was a gray-white flesh ball as tall as a person, with a densely packed mouth on the surface and fine fangs faintly visible inside.

At this moment, hundreds of mouths opened and closed at the same time, making a slightly mechanical and monotonous sound.

[I am the tower spirit of the Starry Tower, and also the examiner who presides over the trial.]

[According to the rules of the Tower of Stars, all entrants will have the opportunity to challenge the trial. If they succeed in the challenge, they will receive inheritance rewards. Do you want to challenge?] Sunan did not answer immediately, but looked at the meat ball that claimed to be the tower spirit with interest.

Without even thinking too much, he knew that the so-called tower spirit was fake and was most likely just the maker's self-promotion.

The tower spirit is so precious that even if a wizard left behind a legacy thousands of years ago, he would not be willing to abandon the tower spirit in a place like this.

Moreover, the tone of the meatball in front of him could not hide its dullness and mechanicalness. It was obvious that his intelligence was not high, at most slightly better than Long Lin's Butler No. 1.

But then again, the taste of the builders of the Tower of Stars is really hard to describe. They actually designed the appearance of the auxiliary intelligent life to be so heavy-tasting.

After secretly complaining about it, Sunan said loudly:

"challenge!"

The ball was silent for a second or two, and the mouth on the surface opened and closed simultaneously again.

【Start the matchmaking trial! 】

[Matching is successful. According to the challenger's age and realm, the trial difficulty is set to the highest level! ]

[Friendly reminder, the trial is divided into three levels in total. Please complete them within 90 days, otherwise it will be considered a failure! ]

[Now begins the first level, the knowledge test! ]

As the voice fell, light and shadow flashed in front of Su Nan, and ten phantoms suddenly appeared.

[Please select three of the following ten materials and elaborate on their names, effects, growth environments, etc. The information density and accuracy must meet certain standards. ]

Listening to the voices coming from his ears and looking at the phantom in front of him, Su Nan inexplicably felt a sense of nostalgia.

It was a similar scene when I took the exam at the Wizarding Academy in my previous life.

“I didn’t expect to have to take an exam here.”

After sighing for a while, Sunan turned his attention back to the test at hand.

Among the ten materials, there are magical plants, rare metals, and various other strange things.

Su Nan understood it after just one glance.

These materials are not extinct in the Starlight Continent today, but they are very rare.

I guess it can only be seen in some classics.

It might be difficult for other wizard apprentices, but it was very easy for him.

Without hesitation, Sunan pointed directly to the first inconspicuous yellow grass on the far right and began to answer the question.

"Resurrection grass is an extremely cold-resistant magical plant. It mostly grows in harsh environments such as ice fields, volcanic areas, and miasma swamps. Its most famous ability is resurrection from the dead. It can revive again when it is almost completely dried. It has a strong mutation ability. In order to adapt to the harsh living environment, it often undergoes certain mutations and evolutions, giving birth to many branches."

"Resurrection grass contains powerful vitality. Taking it directly can increase lifespan in small amounts. It can also be used to make potions. It is one of the main ingredients of the Dawn Potion."

【pass. 】

Su Nan was not surprised at all. He moved his fingers lightly to the second material.

It was a material that looked like a small silver-white sapling, but was actually made of metal.

The leaf-shaped metal surface sparkles with starlight, which is extremely beautiful.

"Star Silver Soul is a rare metal. Its growth environment must meet two conditions. One is that there must be a mineral vein nearby, and the other is that it must be exposed to moonlight. It also has very strict requirements on the concentration of energy particles."

"The ductility and magic conductivity of the Star Silver Soul are better than Mithril. It can be used to make magic items or refine puppets."

Without waiting for Meatball to speak, Sunan pointed at the third crystal-clear irregular crystal and said:
"Dragon crystal is a strange crystal that is born from the corpse of a dead dragon under accidental circumstances. It contains the essence of the entire dragon corpse and has a wide range of uses. It can be used to cultivate magical pets, transform creatures, create magic items, or refine puppets."

【pass. 】

A smile appeared on Su Nan's face. This kind of test question of identifying materials was not difficult for him at all.

hum!
Ten more phantoms appeared, this time they were ten strange-looking creatures.

[Please select three of the following ten organisms and elaborate on their names, growth environments, biological characteristics, etc. The information density and accuracy must meet certain standards.]

"Is it to identify organisms this time?"

Su Nan's expression remained calm, his eyes fixed on the first jellyfish on the left that was emitting a faint blue fluorescence.

The jellyfish is white and umbrella-shaped, with densely packed eyes in the front, about 24 eyes, scattered around the head. If you look closely, it will make your scalp tingle.

"Umbrella-shaped jellyfish are colonies that usually live in deep sea waters. They are extremely poisonous. Their organs can be used to make potions, and their venom can be used as an enchantment material."

Immediately afterwards, Sunan picked out the second demonized eel and the throat-locking monster and explained the information one by one.

As expected, Rouqiu gave it a [Pass] rating.

Once again, easy pass.

"The next one is to identify something, just come on."

Sunan smiled confidently.

But the shadow that appeared next surprised him a little, it was actually a book.

[Master the spell and cast it successfully]

Learning magic?
Su Nan raised his eyebrows in surprise, but then felt relieved.

A spell usually involves more than ten or even dozens of pieces of knowledge, and many spells are related to each other.

Generally speaking, the more knowledgeable a wizard (apprentice) is, the easier it will be for him to learn spells.

The reason why a high-level wizard can master a low-level spell in a short period of time is not only because of his high mental strength, but more because the depth and breadth of his knowledge far exceeds that of a wizard apprentice.

This is just like a PhD solving a problem for an elementary school student. It's easy.

Sunan briefly flipped through the book and found that it contained a zero-level spell called "Bone Arrow".

He thought about it and realized that this spell didn't seem to be included in the spell books he had collected so far.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a spell created by the builder of the Tower of Stars.

Come to think of it, since it is an assessment, spells that are not available outside must be given to prevent challengers from mastering spells and causing unfairness.

"Zero-ring spell."

A smile appeared on Sunan's face.

Under normal circumstances, a third-level wizard apprentice would need twenty to thirty days to master a zero-level spell, no matter how fast he learned it.

But he is different. With the golden finger, more than three days is considered a lot.

Gathering his thoughts, Su Nan began to read books.

[Read "Bone Arrow Spell Model", "Bone Arrow" learning progress +0.15%]

The progress of spell learning was faster than Sunan had expected, with a progress reminder popping up almost every few minutes.

In just two days, Sunan successfully mastered this zero-ring spell called Bone Arrow.

The moment the hint appeared, he closed the book, stretched out his finger, and a pale and sharp bone arrow condensed out of thin air and hit the wall at the end.

With a clang, the bone arrow shattered, leaving the wall intact.

【pass. 】

【Successfully passed the first level. 】
