Chapter 115

"It's actually a way for Mages to get rid of their physical bodies."

After an apprentice became a Mage, the soul would no longer be a weak piece of information that needed to be protected by the physical body. After the transformation through the Ether's Gift, the soul would have the ability to carry mana. The mana would continue to strengthen the soul, but the body would still be unable to contain mana. The physical body of an ordinary Elemental Mage would instead become a burden that hindered the Mage from gaining energy. Therefore, at this time, the Mage would have to use the soul to control the elements and change a body for himself.

The cultivation method of True Elemental Body was the simplest method. The high-level elements would be mechanically piled up outside the soul until the elements became solid. Then, the soul would control the new body. Adam thought for a moment and realized that it was somewhat similar to building a mecha with the soul as the pilot.

The reason why Victor The Mage reminded Adam was that this method lacked the core algorithm, and the condensed True Elemental Body had no spirituality. Adam guessed that this would be an obstacle to the second transformation of life.

But here came the problem.

Although the elements that Adam mastered were not the same, he was still an Elemental Mage. Ordinary Elemental Mages mostly mastered the basic four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire. The more obscure elements were also things that could be seen and touched in nature. But Adam was different. The electromagnetic element was something that appeared for the first time in this world. There was no existing reference at all to learn from.

Electric True Body? Too low-level.

Magnetic True Body? Too abstract and too broad.

Electronic True Body? Light Quantum True Body? Although these two particles were closely related to the electromagnetic force, Adam could foresee that the resources needed to verify the existence of these two particles in the Mage World would definitely be an unimaginably huge project.

The final preparations for the war trial lasted for three days.

During these three days, Adam remained indoors. Every day, he would quietly stay in the Mage Club, either meditating, consolidating his past knowledge, or constructing and optimizing his existing spells.

He extracted some abilities directly from knowledge through runes and solidified them, greatly filling up his magic system.

The generation of the magnetic field changed from heartbeat to magic. As long as the rune group was activated, with him as the center, within a radius of 055 meters, if there was no life with a higher energy level than him, then he would be a 'God.' Except for the creation of life, the operation of all macroscopic substances had to listen to his orders.

The Iron Sand Sword had also become a kind of magic. Through the electromagnetic force, the high-speed vibration of metal could bring unparalleled physical lethality.

The control of the electric element had become instincts... After the standardization, as long as it was activated, a lightning field within the magnetic field, and thunder could be formed.

Apart from these few things, he had other new discoveries.

For example, the electromagnetic cannon formed by the combination of the magnetic field and the Iron Sand Sword. Through the standard of the runes, if Adam wanted to use this magic now, he wouldn't need the long preparation time like when he faced Bill and Monica. He could almost cast it instantly. Also, relying on Adam's magic reserves, which were far more than ordinary people's total spiritual power, the electromagnetic cannon had already changed from a directional instantaneous magic to a continuous AOE magic, which had the lethality of a large-scale cannon.

The last one was the plasma cannon. However, when Adam was constructing this spell, he once again encountered the problem of the 'black box of technology'. Although the effect could be achieved through a large number of calculations, the application of the theory was not complete. Using this spell in a battle required too much calculation time, so it could not be used as a regular battle force. At most, it could be considered as a trump card.

During this period, the apprentice named Ike did not come to cause any trouble. Only Hayley would often knock on Adam's door. As for her questions, as long as they did not involve the core knowledge, Adam was not stingy with his answers. On the other hand, Adam also obtained a lot of useful information.

For example, what exactly were war mages?

He had wondered many times that he was the only one qualified to take the test out of more than a thousand apprentices in Moldova College. This might be because the college was weak, but only the twins in Rex Academy were qualified. If this ratio was applied to the entire Mage Plane, then how did the rare war mages take on the endless battles in other planes?

After solving one of the difficulties in the calculation of the seventh rune that Hayley raised, Adam raised this question.

Hayley rolled her big eyes and looked at Adam as if she was looking at an idiot. Then she said, "The purpose of the test is to cultivate elites. If we can pass the test and prove that our souls are strong and firm, we will be trained by The Fifth Element Holy Tower. After passing the test, we will become high-ranking members, including war commanders. The real main force of the war is the mages of the entire Mage Plane who are willing to participate in the war."

Adam was suddenly enlightened. He remembered that Mage Black had disappeared. No wonder Victor The Mage said that they could also apply for the test after they advanced, but if they could not join the Holy Tower.

"You still need to learn more about common sense," Hayley said to Adam like an old man, and then she left his room with satisfaction.

On the morning of the fourth day, Adam received an order from Victor The Mage. They were to enter The Fifth Element Holy Tower in the main plane and start the test under the arrangement of the mages in the Holy Tower.

Under normal circumstances, mages outside the Holy Tower were not allowed to go directly to the Holy Tower through the teleportation portal. However, apprentices who were qualified to take the test could be counted as reserve members, so they could go directly to the designated location of the Holy Tower.

However, Adam was not very satisfied with this. He actually wanted to experience the grandeur of the Holy Tower.

The whole Holy Tower was surrounded by a vast elemental aura, distorting the space. In Mayer City, they could only vaguely see the outline, but not the whole picture.

After the light of the teleportation portal flashed, they arrived in a huge hall. The elemental aura in the surroundings was so active that Adam had to divert some of his attention to forcibly stop the magic from entering.

"Apprentices can't stay in The Fifth Element Holy Tower for a long time. This is also the reason why I ordered you to enter through the teleportation portal. This hall has been set up by the mages of the Holy Tower to suppress the magic circle." Victor The Mage explained softly, and then he looked around. "There aren't many people in this batch. It seems that the test won't be too difficult."

Adam glanced around and found that other than the mages who were leading the team, there were also quite a number of apprentices taking part in the test. There were about a thousand of them.

Mage Andre said, "There haven't been any large planes sacrificed in the past hundred years, so the Tide of Ether has calmed down. There aren't many geniuses."

Victor The Mage nodded. "Yes, the Tower Master has only found small planes recently. I suspect that the surrounding areas have been cleared out …"
