Soman Shuchiin, starting from Fulilian to become a magician

"As for the third round of assessment, I haven't thought about it yet. Master Ye Shanming, do you have any good ideas?"

"No, this kind of thing is too troublesome. You should think about it, Zanze. Hey, why did she sign up too?"

Ye Shanming turned to the page of the list and saw the names of Yubel and Philen in addition to Fulilian's name.

Let’s not talk about Yubel for now, Philen actually signed up behind his back.

After thinking about it a little more deeply, Ye Shanming understood what Philen was thinking.

He was probably thinking that if Fulilian failed the test and she passed, in order to ensure that there was a first-level magician in the team, he would have to bring Feiren with him to the imperial capital.

Sadly, although Freellian would indeed be stuck by Celie, he was able to secure his certification as a first-level magician.

As long as Celie keeps her word.

Chapter 33 The first assessment.

In the basin outside the barrier, Ye Shanming was sitting on a chair. His excellent eyesight penetrated the barrier and looked into the examination room.

Zanze's hair danced freely under her control, and in just a moment, she placed a cup of hot black tea in front of him.

"It was quite a fierce battle."

Ye Shanming took a sip and sighed softly.

The first round of assessment has begun. Including Fulilian and Philen, a total of 57 candidates have been divided into three-person teams by Zanze and distributed in the area covered by the barrier.

The deadline for the assessment is before sunset today. Any team that fails to capture the Meteorite Bird before then will be deemed a failure.

Therefore, at this time, within the barrier, various teams broke out in an extremely fierce battle for the Meteorite Bird.

Flowers have bloomed everywhere, and all kinds of magic are emerging one after another.

It has to be said that the sense of danger Yubel gave him was indeed correct. His extremely sophisticated cutting magic gave him an advantage in the battle against humans.

Combined with Philen's excellent starting speed and talent for hiding magic, the team they formed has defeated a team that tried to snatch the Meteorite Bird.

"Duncan has also taken action. I really hope he's gentler. Obviously, this assessment method is used to minimize casualties."

Zanze looked into the barrier, and saw a huge tornado sucking a figure into it. Then, it was instantly transformed into a fierce flame, tightly wrapping the figure.

With just one glance, Zanze recognized that this was the signature combination magic of the second-level magician Duncan, and he couldn't help but worry about the person who was attacked.

"It's okay. Rather, I'm afraid Duncan will fail the test this time."

Unlike Zanze's worries, Ye Shanming took a sip of black tea very calmly.

The flames gradually dissipated, revealing Fulilian, whose entire body was covered in defensive magic.

It has to be said that as a veteran court magician in the Northern Empire, Duncan's strength is also top-notch among the magicians participating in this assessment, but unfortunately, he chose the wrong opponent.

Suddenly, Zanze felt a chill on his face. He looked up and saw a few tiny raindrops falling from the sky. In just a moment, heavy rain fell and fine mist rose from the forest.

The barrier set up by Ye Shanming blocked out all the rain, and its shape was vaguely revealed. A barrier was also set up around him and Zanze to prevent them from getting wet by the rain.

"It seems that there are quite a few masters in this assessment."

The earth was shaking, and even at the edge of the basin, Zanze could feel the vibration under his feet.

A huge plateau rose directly from the ground, changing the terrain within the entire barrier. Flashes and fluctuations of magical battles kept lighting up at the top of the plateau.

Connie and Rabinie, two friends who were brought home by Philen to play, were having a hard time facing their opponents. In front of the magician who could use magic to control the earth to change the terrain, they were both quickly wounded and could only be on the defensive.

Time passed slowly. As if affected by the Duncan team and the Fulilian team, the war in the barrier became more and more fierce. Ye Shanming and Zanze sat on a high place, drinking black tea leisurely in the rain.

Glancing at the team of Philen and Yubel, he found that they had wisely concealed their magic and hid, quietly waiting for the end of the assessment time. Ye Shanming shifted his attention and focused on the battlefield on Fulilian's side.

Duncan had already been defeated in a one-on-one fight with Frillian, and along with a girl with a bun on her head, he was tied to a tree by Frillian using restraint magic.

Then Fulilian looked up at the sky, and a huge magical fluctuation was brewing in her hands. The dazzling green light was clearly transmitted into Ye Shanming's eyes even through the heavy rain.

"puff!"

Ye Shanming spat out a mouthful of black tea.

"Mr. Branch Chief!"

"Forget it. Breaking the barrier isn't against the rules anyway."

Ye Shanming was somewhat helpless. He was very familiar with the magic in Fulilian's hand. It was a magic specially used to analyze and destroy barriers.

This barrier was just a temporary one he set up, and in terms of structure, it was the same as Volame's barrier. He had basically seen the consequences.

A green beam of light rose from Fulilian's hands and hit the top of the barrier directly. Then, the barrier was covered with dense cracks all over. With the continuous input of Fulilian's magic power, it finally couldn't bear the burden and shattered directly.

The rainstorm that had been isolated from the outside poured down like a waterfall. A water ball large enough to contain an entire lake floated in the air, blocking out the sky and the sun, and fell like a meteorite, ending this huge battle.

After such a large-scale battle, the remaining candidates became more cautious and adopted the same approach as Philon. Sporadic battles only occurred when they met unexpectedly.

"Okay, time's up, Zanze, go announce the list of qualified candidates. I'm leaving first."

Although it was raining heavily in the sky and the sun was not visible, the magicians had their own way of judging time. The teams that successfully captured the meteorite bird and had no casualties had already arrived at the open space outside the venue, waiting for the examiner's announcement.

Ye Shanming was too lazy to get involved in this matter and simply threw it to Zanze.

When the second round of examinations for the scattered royal tombs began, he would no longer be able to drink tea leisurely as he did now, watching the candidates fighting for their lives.

"Okay, Mr. Branch Chief."

Zanze nodded obediently and watched Ye Shanming leave.

At night, Ye Shanming was sitting on a chair, waiting for Philen and Fulilian to come back together.

As for the fact that Philen had secretly signed up for the test, she had already confessed to him and Fulilian the night before the test began.

Neither Fulilian nor he tried to stop this. Anyway, when they finally went to the imperial capital, they would definitely not take Philen with them.

The door was pushed open, and to Ye Shanming's surprise, in addition to Philen and Fulilian, there were two girls following behind Philen.

"Long time no see, uncle."

Rabinie pulled Connie in from outside and greeted Ye Shanming.

"It's Rabinie and Connie. It's been so long since we last met. You've grown so much."

Although he had seen these two girls at the venue of the first round of exams, he did not show up, so it was only now that he officially met them.

"Phiren, why did you suddenly drop out of the academy? Rabinie and I have been to your house many times, but we haven't seen you."

"At that time, Master Ye Shanming was going to visit a friend far away, so I went with him."

"That's outrageous! You didn't even tell us. I thought you guys had moved."

"Speaking of which, how have you been getting through these years?"

The three girls sat opposite each other around the table, sharing their experiences over the years. Ye Shanming and Fulilian returned to their rooms, leaving the space for the girls who had not seen each other for more than ten years to reminisce.

Chapter 34 The second assessment begins.

It was not until midnight that Rabinie and Connie left Ye Shanming's house, without even changing their clothes that were torn in the battle.

"I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for more than ten years, your relationship is still so good."

Ye Shanming stood at the door, watching them off with Feilun, and sighed.

"Yeah, when I saw them at the assessment site, I couldn't recognize them. They had changed so much."

Philen also continued to speak along the lines of Ye Shanming, and retracted his gaze to look at Fulilian who was sitting in a chair reading a book.

"Lady Fulilian also praised them as very talented magicians."

"is it?"

Ye Shanming touched Feilun's head and smiled: "Since you have friends here, I can go to the imperial capital with Fulilian without any worries."

The atmosphere turned cold. Philen said nothing, biting his lower lip tightly and raised his head:

"Master Yeshan Boming, if I pass the exam to become a first-level magician, can you take me to the imperial capital with you?"

Ye Shanming was stunned for a moment, because there was a pleading look in Feilun's eyes. The last time he saw Feilun like this was when he was a child and wanted to follow him to leave the magic city.

"Promise her."

Fulilian's voice just happened to come over: "Trust Philen, she is more powerful than you think, she is already a very powerful magician."

Fulilian's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back for Ye Shanming. It was not until this moment that he vaguely remembered that Feilun was already an eighteen-year-old girl, and was no longer the child who had to pull on his clothes to fall asleep.

"Okay, but the prerequisite is that you must pass the assessment of a first-level magician."

In the end, Ye Shanming changed his plan and tried to raise his hand to touch Feilun's head. After hesitating for a moment, he withdrew his hand and patted her shoulder instead.

"Master Ye Shanming, I will definitely pass!"

After receiving Ye Shanming's clear answer, Feilun's eyes were full of determination.

After the first round of assessment, Zanze gave them a day to rest. On that day of rest, Philen was dragged by the excited Connie and Rabinie to play in the magic city for a whole day.

Fulilian took this opportunity to buy some completely useless gadgets at the market.

Ye Shanming was not so leisurely. The scattered royal tombs were extremely dangerous and no one had broken through them so far. In order to ensure the safety of the candidates, he needed to get something as a guarantee.

The next day, on the deserted entrance platform of the King's Tomb, Fulilian and Philen silently waited for the arrival of the examiner, while Ye Shanming sat aside, looking up at the sky boredly.

"Master Ye Shanming, this is the second round of examinations."

Philen's troubled gaze fell on him: "Just stay home and wait for Lady Fulilian and I to return."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm here for something. You'll know soon."

Ye Shanming waved his hand. Fulilian and Feilun looked at him in confusion, but he did not say it clearly, but kept it in suspense.

The three of them arrived relatively early. After a while, Rabinie and Connie arrived with other candidates who successfully advanced.

When Rabinie and Connie saw Philen, they excitedly came over to chat. The other candidates glanced at the relaxed Ye Shanming with confusion, then looked away.

The last to arrive was the Duncan team. When he saw Ye Shanming sitting there, out of tune with the tense atmosphere, he widened his eyes and a look of shock appeared on his wrinkled face.

In the first round of assessment, although he tried to snatch Fulilian's meteorite bird, he was defeated and tied to a tree. However, he did not give up in the end, and took the meteorite bird from another team with reduced personnel, successfully advancing.

"Branch Head, are you the one presiding over this round of assessment?"

Unlike these magicians who were too young to know Ye Shanming, he had known Ye Shanming for more than 20 years. The appearance of this branch chief who hardly took care of affairs here made him think more.

"It's Duncan. I am indeed responsible for this year's assessment."

"Branch Head?!"

Almost as soon as he said this, the other candidates were all surprised and looked at this branch chief who only existed in legends.

"Master Ye Shanming, when did you become the branch director of the Continental Magic Association?"

But the ones who were most surprised were Philen and her two good friends.

"That's what I told you about. Hard work."

Ye Shanming sighed lightly and saw Zanze arriving. He stood up from the ground, walked to Zanze's side, and glanced at the group of candidates who passed the first round.

"Eighteen people passed the first round. Below are the rules for the second round of assessment."

Everyone suppressed their surprise and listened attentively. However, when they learned that the assessment was being conducted by this branch chief whom they had never met before, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"I'm afraid of trouble, and Zanze is a pacifist, so this round is very simple. You'll pass if you reach the deepest part of the scattered royal tombs."

"and many more!"

Questions were raised among the examinees, and a bald magician stood up and pointed out what he thought was unreasonable.

"No one has been able to conquer the scattered royal tombs yet. Do you want to eliminate everyone?"

A magic circle vaguely flashed in Ye Shanming's eyes. The next moment, the bald magician was hit hard and his body was knocked away, falling heavily on the stone he had just sat on. He couldn't get up for a long time.

A trace of caution flashed across the faces of the magicians present. They had not caught any fluctuations of magic power in the previous attack and were unable to react in time.

"It's a lot of trouble. If you can't accept it, just quit. I don't like to explain too much."

Ye Shanming's faint voice sounded again in the audience. The bald magician stood back in the crowd dejectedly, without saying a word.

"Zanze."

"Yes, Branch Chief."

Ye Shanming exclaimed softly, and Zanze nodded and stepped forward. There were more than a dozen bottles hanging on his hair, which contained miniature golems. He distributed them to the hands of each candidate.

"This is a golem developed by the first-level magician Lerunin for escape. Break the bottle and the golem will appear and carry you out of the maze."
