Liu Feng closed the book and got up. He called out the voice.

“I am done now. You can test me.”

“You are far too arrogant. Do you know how difficult the examination is going to be? You even slept for seven hours in the middle. You will not be able to answer any question if you have just skimmed the book. I am telling you for your own good.”

“Thank you for your advice senior, but I will go ahead with the test. I am very confident in myself.”

The voice did not respond. The book in Liu Feng’s hands disappeared. In their place a bundle of papers and a quill appeared. Liu Feng took a look at the papers and did not even hesitate to start answering the questions. Liu Feng looked like he was randomly scribbling.

Meanwhile in another room, there stood the old man and four other spirits. 

“He is far too arrogant. To think that a human thinks that he can finish a book on magic circles on other objects in so little time is impossible. Adn look at the way he is writing. We will definitely see random scribbles on his paper. He does not have the approval of this King of Fire.”

“Calm down Pyrus. You are far too hasty and hot tempered. Let us wait for his paper to start judging. If he doesn’t do well he will have to leave and try again next year. “

“You are always easy-going on these humans my lord. That is why people who even failed are able to try again and again. But you are definitely wrong about him.”

Liu Feng was visible from the room, writing the test at an incredible pace. After an hour had passed, the voice came out again, 

“Time is up. Let us see how you fared. This will take a very short time, I expect.”

The papers in Liu Feng’s hand disappeared. They appeared in the hands of the five spirits in the other room. They each took a part of the paper. The temperature of the room suddenly blazed hot.

“Impossible. Look at the answers he gave out. They were a perfect derivation that wasn’t even present in the book we gave him. We just did it so no one would get a perfect score.”

“I told you not to be too hasty. Let us see how we will fare in the other two tests. Let us hope that he does not disappoint. The spirits’ presence in the mortal world is slowly diminishing and I am afraid something has happened.”

Meanwhile Liu Feng was waiting for his results. He suddenly felt the heat, but he dismissed it. He sat down gathering his thoughts. The book he read really opened his eyes on the possibilities of magic. He could potentially create an undefeatable army of mages who would obey his every command. The opportunities were endless. As Liu Feng was thinking, suddenly the ground shook. A spirit with golden brown hair and brown eyes appeared. He looked at Liu Feng. He was truly interested in him. 

“I am the King of Ground, Terran. We were truly impressed by your performance. I am here to monitor your next test. This is a test of perseverance. One of will power. This is where many humans fail. You will be given a break of fourteen hours. You surprisingly finished the first test ahead of time so the council has allowed you to rest for longer. “

A path opened in one of the walls, and Terran gestured Liu Feng to enter. They reached a large opening and a huge tower ahead of them. Terran gave Liu Feng a token and said,

“This will be your resting location for the remainder of the trials. When you enter the entrance with a token in hand, you will be transported to your assigned room. I wish you luck in advance.”
