Magic spells of the seventh to ninth ranks are basically monopolized by the major powers. Simple seventh-rank spells are fine; he could obtain those through his family, but eighth and ninth-rank spells are difficult.
Although he has already stepped onto the path of comprehending the Laws, magic is merely a simplified version of those Laws. The stronger the magic, the deeper and more numerous the mysteries of the Laws it contains.
Learning more can only benefit him!
A look of difficulty appeared on Sa'er's face. If Lei Lin were willing to join the Wild Thunder Guard, then nothing would be a problem. A fifteen-year-old seventh-rank mage is someone the Fenlai Royal Family would absolutely be willing to spare no expense to cultivate.
But since Lei Lin is unwilling to join, it is difficult for him to maneuver!
After all, he has seen that his disciple has great ambitions. Since he is unwilling to join the Wild Thunder Guard, he is likely unwilling to join other factions and be constrained either.
In that case, to obtain higher-level magic, he would have to walk some less-than-bright paths.
"Well, seventh and eighth-rank are fine, but ninth-rank magic..."
Lei Lin asked in confusion, "Is there some difficulty with ninth-rank magic?"
Sa'er sighed and said, "As the highest-level magic below the Saint Realm, ninth-rank magic is controlled much more strictly than seventh or eighth-rank spells."
"Besides, there is only a market where there is demand. In our Fenlai Kingdom, the only ninth-rank powerhouses on the surface are His Majesty Clyde and Boss Kaisa, and both are warriors, so ninth-rank magic is not easy to get."
"And since you are unwilling to join a faction and be constrained, getting your hands on it..."
Lei Lin interrupted directly, "Teacher, I just don't want to join the Wild Thunder Guard; it's not that I'm unwilling to join other major factions!"
Sa'er: "..."
Sa'er felt insulted, but once he thought about how Lei Lin was his disciple and possessed the potential for the Saint Realm, what else could he do?
Naturally, he had to forgive him!
"Then what are you planning..."
Lei Lin: "I plan to join the Radiant Church!"
Sa'er: "..."
Compared to the Radiant Church, the Fenlai Kingdom is truly nothing!
Three days later, Weilin Magic Academy.
Watching the many high-ranking school officials who had come specifically to observe the ceremony, Lei Lin directly cast the "Flight Technique" he had created himself based on electromagnetic theory.
Since he had decided to test the waters, he naturally wanted to replicate it as much as possible, so Lei Lin decided to use the Flight Technique as his graduation spell.
Seeing Lei Lin flying freely in the air, the school's high-ranking officials and teachers of all grades were stunned, before erupting into thunderous, excited shouts.
"Seventh rank, this is definitely seventh rank! I thought Lei Lin was applying for graduation after breaking through to the fifth rank, but he is already a seventh-rank mage! Only the seventh rank can fly!"
"My god, Senior Lei Lin is already a seventh-rank mage!!!"
"Indeed, Lei Lin is worthy of being the pride of the Zi'ao Family and the kingdom's number one genius. Who would have thought he also practiced Wind Element magic."
"Heaven, a fifteen-year-old seventh-rank mage, this... I don't even dare to imagine how strong he will become in the future!"
"Lei Lin, Lei Lin, I love you, I want to have your..."
"Oh, oh, Lei Lin, Lei Lin~"
The ordinary students and teachers only saw Lei Lin cast the Flight Technique and assumed he was dual-cultivating Wind Element magic and had broken through to the seventh rank, cheering that their academy was about to produce a peerless genius!
But the true high-ranking officials and powerhouses of Weilin Magic Academy saw something different!
After all, Lei Lin did not deliberately hide himself this time, so true powerhouses could feel the thunder and lightning elements surrounding him.
Moreover, as the pride of Weilin Magic Academy, although Lei Lin only appeared during exams and spent most of his time out training, he had always dominated the top spot in every grade and was the academy's signature.
Therefore, they all knew that Lei Lin only had a single affinity for thunder and lightning magic elements!
This was not just a breakthrough to the seventh rank; it was the breaking of the restriction that only Wind Element magic could fly below the Saint Realm.
"From now on, besides Wind Element magic, will there be another means of flight below the Saint Realm: Thunder Element magic?"
The dean of Weilin Magic Academy even cast a proper Wind Element flight spell to reach Lei Lin, and after personally confirming that what he had cast was indeed not Wind Element magic, but Thunder Element magic, he excitedly confirmed: "Lei Lin, you created a Thunder Element flight spell!?"
Lei Lin nodded calmly and said, "That's right. I had an epiphany while training. Not only did I break through to the seventh rank in one go, but I also created this Flight Technique."
Epiphany, the privilege of a genius!
The dean paused upon hearing this, then carefully sensed the intensity of the mental energy radiating from Lei Lin. After confirming it was indeed the seventh rank, he muttered, "Seventh rank, it really is the seventh rank. Not only did he create a Thunder Element flight spell, but he also broke through to the seventh rank!"
"A fifteen-year-old seventh-ranker!"
Lei Lin could feel the dean's shock. Unlike Ernst Magic Academy, where the graduation requirement is the sixth rank, magic academies like Weilin only require a breakthrough to the fifth rank for formal graduation due to the quality of their students.
Lei Lin had only applied for graduation without stating he had broken through to the seventh rank. Now that he had not only displayed seventh-rank strength but also cast a Thunder Element flight spell, even the most resilient hearts among the academy's high-ranking officials found it hard to accept for a moment!
"Hahaha~, my Weilin Magic Academy has finally produced a peerless talent~"
Amidst the compliments, Lei Lin finally left the academy, though he took one silent look at a lower-grade female mage before departing.
The news of Lei Lin becoming a seventh-rank mage and creating his own lightning-element flight magic spread throughout the entire Fenlai Kingdom before long, drawing the attention of all the major powers.
"First in history," "Seed of the Saint Realm," "Super genius," and "Peerless son-in-law" were just a few of the many titles that swarmed toward him like snowflakes in winter.
Congratulatory notes and banquet invitations from various factions also stuffed the reception room of the Zi'ao Family, yet the most important matter for Lei Lin right now was actually handling his own marriage!
Yes, that's right, his marriage!
Just a moment ago, while Lei Lin was contemplating his future, a maid had been ordered to bring him to his parents' courtyard to discuss matters.
The matter at hand was none other than his marriage!
Upon arriving at his parents' courtyard, the first thing Lei Lin noticed was a statuesque beauty with long, dark red hair.
Hmm, this was his fiancée, Windsor!
"Tsk~" Lei Lin looked at Windsor, who was attending to his mother, and immediately understood what was going on.
Because this was a situation he had already experienced once before.
Previously, because of him, the Zi'ao Family had gained hope for revival and rise, and several viscounts had immediately decided to invest in the Zi'ao Family.
The method they chose was marriage, but in the Coiling Dragon World, the strong were respected, and since Lei Lin had already grasped a trace of the laws and knew he was guaranteed to reach the Saint Realm, he had no intention of agreeing.
