However, currently, most people were in no mood to pay attention to the hot weather, as their hearts were filled with tension and anxiety. This was the moment when their fate would be determined!
With talent, one could leap high beyond their current positions, into a bright future!
Without talent, one could only continue sticking around, being mediocre, and looking for an alternative path!
“This is much crueler than the College Entrance Examination!” Meng Lei sighed quietly. “It’s actually similar to ancient imperial examinations!”
While waiting anxiously, they witnessed all kinds of reactions from others!
Some cried out of joy and left rejoicing!
Some shook their heads and sighed, not satisfied with the test result!
Even more were in great agony, as they left sadly!
The cruelty of reality was shown here completely and vividly!
The rows moved forward slowly. After hours of waiting, Meng Lei and his three peers approached the testing table!
Three youths in black magic robes stood in front of the table, responsible for testing this row!
One was in charge of calling people!
One was in charge of testing!
One was in charge of recording!
They all performed their duties in an orderly manner!
A middle-aged man, who was dozing off, was seated behind them. He leaned back against the back of the chair, his head drooping, his eyes closed tight. He seemed to be fast asleep, as though he completely ignored his surrounding environment.
There were two testing instruments. The first one was a crystal ball the size of a basketball, with a transparent interior without a trace of noise, hanging in mid-air like a crystal-clear diamond.
The other was a gigantic “thermometer” several feet high and one foot wide, standing in front of the crystal ball, with a red line inside and numbers on both sides. It was a proper enlarged thermometer!
“Next!”
The youth in charge of calling people called out. A yellow-haired young man dressed in a civilian burlap robe hurriedly responded and walked up quickly!
Perhaps because he was too nervous, the yellow-haired young man staggered and suddenly fell on the ground, almost bumping onto the crystal ball!
Everyone laughed out loud. The yellow-haired young man got even more nervous and stood up in a flurry. He jabbered out, “I’m... I’m sorry, my name is Po... Porter...”
“No need to say your name, just put your hand on the crystal ball!”
The young man in charge of the assessment said indifferently, showing no intention to listen to the yellow-haired young man’s name. Indeed, the ones in charge of magic testing only registered those who had magical talent!
As to those without magical talent, there was no need to even register them— reality was that cruel!
“Yes... Yes!”
Porter nodded hurriedly, stretched out his trembling hand, and pressed it on the crystal ball. Then, he stared hard at the crystal ball, waiting for the trial of fate!
He was so nervous that he held his breath, for fear that a minute detail would lead to inaccurate test results and sentence him with the “death penalty”!
The young man in charge of the assessment had an indifferent look as his gaze fell on the crystal ball. The originally transparent crystal ball glowed with a faint, blurry light as if it was charged with electricity!
It was an earthly yellow color, mixed with a little bit of cyan, looking like faint-colored light reflected by lenses!
“Elemental Affinity: Medium-Grade Earth Element, Low-Grade Wind Element!”
The young man in charge of the assessment said lightly, “The next step is to test your spiritual power! See the red dot under the spiritual tester? Use your spiritual power to press it down as much as possible.”
Spiritual tester?
Meng Lei looked over, following his instructions, and indeed saw a red dot on the bottom of the gigantic “thermometer”. It was about the size of a coin and seemed like a button.
“S-Sir, how to use... spiritual power?”
Porter’s face flushed red as he asked with some difficulty.
“There’s a magical pattern engraved on the red dot. It will guide your spiritual power automatically, so you just need to stare at the red dot.” The young man in charge of the assessment said lightly, “The ones who are getting tested later should also listen. When you test your spiritual power...”
“Okay!”
Porter hurriedly nodded, and his eyes looked toward the red dot at the spiritual tester’s bottom!
Instantly, the red line inside the spiritual tester started to rise, passing by one numbered mark followed by another!
This is the instrument for testing spiritual power?
Meng Lei’s eyes gleamed, staring at the red line in the spirit tester.
This thing is somewhat similar to a thermometer. However, that one tests spiritual power and the other tests temperature!
After a moment, the red line stopped moving.
The young man in charge of the assessment gave the mark where the red line was a look, and his tone softened a little.
“Spiritual Power: 23
“4 times that of same-age peers!
“Barely meeting the standard!
“Elemental Affinity: Medium-Grade Earth Element, Low-Grade Wind Element!
“Overall evaluation: Has magical talent, qualified to become a Magician!”

“YAY!”
The excited Porter started shouting as though he had heard the most beautiful language in the world. His tears of joy ran down his face like a fountain, wetting his clothes.
“Oh my dragon god!”
“A peasant can actually become a Magician? Are there heavenly principles left in this world?”
“Really...”
Everyone started discussing with great envy.
