"Next, Feng Yun Zi Ao!"

As the tester called out, Zhao Fengyun slowly stepped out from the line. He was dressed in black, with a slender build and a six-year-old face still rich in collagen. Just looking at him made people want to pinch his cheeks.

Striding up to the tester, he directly placed his hand on the Crystal Ball used for testing. Unlike the other children, he showed no unease or hesitation.

That was because he knew he possessed elemental affinity—and not just any kind, but Dark Element affinity, which was highly valued in the Dark Alliance.

Otherwise, he would never have been able to learn the basic Dark Magic his father had found for him under his mother's guidance. His skill with Shadow Hand had been so impressive that the nearby neighbors and his parents' friends had praised him as a little genius for two or three years.

In fact, he had already become a peak first-level Dark Mage. The only reason he had not come earlier to take the elemental affinity aptitude test was that the minimum age was six. Otherwise, he would have come long ago!

Since he already knew he possessed magical aptitude, why would he feel uneasy?

How could he not be confident?!

Then, the radiance shining from the Crystal Ball left him stunned for quite some time!

Looking at the light radiating from the Crystal Ball, the tester announced, "Dark Element affinity, low-grade!"

Of course, that was not the main reason he was stunned. After practicing magic for more than two years without breaking through to become a second-level Mage, he had long suspected that his aptitude was poor. He simply had not expected his Dark Element affinity to be only low-grade.

What truly stunned him was what the tester said next.

"Light Element affinity, medium-grade!"

In the Dark Alliance, Light Element affinity was not completely unacceptable. This world respected strength above all else. There were experts who cultivated Dark Element power in the Holy Alliance, so naturally, there was room for people who cultivated Light Element power in the Dark Alliance as well.

However, considering the existence of their mortal enemy, the Holy Alliance, and the overall cultivation environment, everyone would inevitably feel somewhat uncomfortable about Light Element aptitude.

Fengyun wore an expression of mixed joy and sorrow. He did not know whether he should be depressed or happy.

He had not expected his Dark Element affinity to be only low-grade. Yet even more unexpected was the fact that he also possessed Light Magic elemental affinity.

Moreover, his Light Magic elemental affinity had reached medium-grade. Compared with his low-grade Dark Element affinity, his medium-grade Light Element affinity gave him hope of becoming a true Mage.

In the future, it might not be impossible for him to become a powerful figure through Light Magic!

"Did someone make a mistake? I'm a child born in the Dark Alliance, and my father is even a squad leader in the Church's Guard Legion. Yet I actually possess Light Element aptitude—and it's medium-grade at that."

"Meanwhile, the Dark Magic I've cultivated all this time only has low-grade elemental affinity!"

"What kind of logic is that?!"

With these complicated feelings, Fengyun began the Spiritual Power test under the tester's guidance.

After a round of mental pressure, the tester said with a hint of regret, "Spiritual Power, six times, low-grade!"

At those words, Fengyun was stunned again.

As a transmigrator, he had always believed that his Spiritual Power should at least be medium-grade, if not high-grade. Otherwise, how could it live up to the Spiritual Power he had gained through transmigration, with the two forces combined?

Yes, that was right—a transmigrator!

Zhao Fengyun had originally been a wage slave living on Blue Star. One night, beneath a bright moon and a sky full of stars, he had not died from working overtime, been hit by a truck, been struck by lightning, or encountered any other supernatural phenomenon.

He had simply fallen asleep on a mat on the balcony—and after waking up, he had transmigrated!

When he had first transmigrated, he had been very unaccustomed to it. After all, he had been a modern man used to life in the twenty-first century. It would have been strange if he had immediately adapted to being transported into another world resembling medieval Europe.

On top of that, he had missed his family. When he had just been born, his failure to cry or fuss had nearly made his parents in this life wonder whether something was wrong with his brain.

It was only after he adapted to his parents' care in this life, learned the language and writing here, discovered that the land he lived in belonged to the Dark Alliance, learned that this world also had the Light Church, the Dark Forest, and the Monster Mountain Range, and found out that the continent was called the Yulan Continent

that he realized he had not transmigrated into some ordinary sword-and-magic fantasy world, but into Coiling Dragon.

From that moment on, his heart had been filled with excitement. As a classic, Coiling Dragon was a masterpiece he knew extremely well.

Here, as long as one cultivated to the Saint Realm, one could live forever and escape the limits of lifespan. If he were fortunate enough to reach Hongmeng's level, he might even have a chance to return to Blue Star.

After all, as far as he knew, the Coiling Dragon Universe was merely an affiliated universe. Within the technological affiliated universe of the greater universe it belonged to, there was a planet called Earth.

Although he was not certain that Earth was the same Blue Star he had lived on before.

Although he did not know whether he could cultivate to that level—or how many years would have passed by the time he did.

At least he now had hope. And with hope and a goal, he also had motivation.

Even though he was too young, his body had not fully developed, and he was not suited for strenuous exercise or for practicing methods such as the Qi Accumulation Form, he still went running every day as basic exercise. In his spare time, he read books and studied all kinds of knowledge to broaden his cultural foundation.

Zi Ao saw his son's tremendous enthusiasm for cultivation and was moved to take action. He directly obtained a basic Dark Magic textbook for him as reading material, and even spent a large sum of money to acquire a Magic Stone with an auxiliary cultivation effect from a fallen noble family for him to wear.

That was also why he had been able to master the Dark Magic Shadow Hand at such a young age.

Touching the Magic Stone hanging from his chest as a pendant, Fengyun could not help revealing a bitter smile.

"The reason I never noticed my Light Attribute aptitude was probably that, while this Magic Stone was helping me gather Dark Element, it was also repelling the other magical elements!" Thinking of this, he took out the low-level Magic Crystal that powered the Magic Stone.

As a first-level Mage, the moment he deliberately released his Spiritual Power, he immediately sensed the presence of Light Element. The feeling was several times clearer than when he sensed Dark Element!

However, after a moment, he shook his head slightly and placed the Magic Crystal back inside the Magic Stone. After all, this was the Dark Alliance, and the Light System had no future here.

Although his Dark System aptitude was poor, he could take the warrior path!

In any case, the threshold for warriors was low, and it also matched his original expectations. Moreover, his father was a squad leader in the Guard Legion. Without high-grade elemental affinity, the path of a warrior was the most suitable for him!
