Inheritance Trial, Sweeping the Records, Part Two

"Buzz!"

The Lost Land, the Land of the Twin Star Sect's Legacy.

As the first aptitude test ended, the array beneath him shone brightly, and the next second Cao Fengqi appeared in another stone chamber.

This stone chamber is over a thousand square meters in size, much more spacious than the one we just had.

On the stone wall at the end, the ranking list for this level is still displayed.

"Master the spell that appears on the wall within a certain time limit, and control the casting time within 15 seconds."

Those who fail within the designated time will be deemed to have failed the assessment.

The mechanical sound came again, and on the stone wall in front of Cao Fengqi, the construction method of a spell was displayed.

Skill crystals are one way to learn extraordinary spells.

However, major sects and cults all possess the underlying construction methods of magic.

Skill crystals are created by powerful mages using spell construction techniques.

"Lightning Strike Spell."

Cao Fengqi looked at the name of the spell before him, his eyes flickering slightly.

Lightning Strike Spell is an area-of-effect spell that covers a 200-meter area and belongs to the Third Sequence of spells.

"The first stage of testing not only assesses qualifications, but also the sequence level."

"Assessments of varying difficulty will be arranged according to the sequence level."

Cao Fengqi thought to himself, his gaze falling on the Lightning Strike Spell's construction method, a smile appearing on his face.

Simply put, casting a spell involves sensing the surrounding elements, manipulating them to create combinations, and then condensing them into a spell.

"I have a higher affinity for my own elements, making it easier to manipulate the surrounding elements."

"However, the spellcasting of a Lightning Strike Spell is quite complex, which explains why it's so difficult for a mage to improve their spell proficiency."

This is like an incredibly complex jigsaw puzzle; there can be no mistakes during the puzzle-solving process, or the spell will fail.

At the same time, the faster the puzzle is pieced together, the faster the spell can be cast.

It tests your control, memory, and management skills.

"Crackling and popping!"

Cao Fengqi didn't know the level of his memory. Half an hour later, a large patch of thunderclouds gathered in the stone chamber.

"It took me one minute to condense this Lightning Strike Spell..."

Cao Fengqi calculated the time and then looked speechless.

The first release was successful, taking a full minute.

If this were to be used in a fight or sparring match, one minute of spellcasting would be enough to kill oneself dozens of times.

However, Cao Fengqi also knew that this was normal for mages.

What the mage needs to do next is to continuously improve their proficiency and reduce casting time.

[The Skill Proficiency Cheat has detected that the host has mastered the spell Lightning Strike Spell. Instantly max out the skill level?]

But...

Cao Fengqi has a cheat code.

[Yes!]

[Lightning Strike Spell maxed out in one click!]

[Lightning Strike Spell: A max-level Lightning Strike Spell. Currently, the casting time is 1.2 seconds. It consumes a certain amount of mental energy to condense a 200-meter-long thundercloud, striking the area below the thundercloud with lightning. Increasing the sequence level, mental energy, and elemental affinity can further reduce the casting time.]

Cao Fengqi looked at the information about the Lightning Strike Spell and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Casting an area-of-effect spell every 1.2 seconds is quite powerful.

"Many skills in the Transcendent Sequence do not have spell recharge time; as long as there is enough mental energy, they can be cast continuously. Of course, some spells do have recharge time."

"The attack range of this Lightning Strike Spell is quite large; it lands one every 1.2 seconds, which is terrifying."

Cao Fengqi thought to himself.

If he mastered more magic, he would be a human cannon.

"Lightning Strike Spell!"

With a thought, he shortened the complex spell incantation to just three words.

The moment the words fell, thunderclouds gathered and blasted towards the open space in front.

"The assessment lasted 33 minutes, and the casting time of the time-casting spell was reduced to 1 second—unmatched by anyone; a true saintly figure."

The mechanical voice sounded again, and Feng Chen, who was originally in first place, fell to second place on the leaderboard.

First place: No name.

"Heh, breaking this record is as easy as drinking water."

Cao Fengqi looked over, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Buzz!"

When the second test ended, the great formation beneath them began to activate.

The scene before him changed, and this time he found himself in a larger stone chamber.

"Spells that combine multiple elements can unleash even greater power."

"This test assesses your ability to integrate spells. Within a fixed time, you must master the spell at hand and control your casting speed to within 15 seconds."

The mechanical notification sounded again, and the structure information of a spell appeared in Cao Fengqi's sight.

"Apocalyptic Wind and Thunder!"

Cao Fengqi looked at the name of the spell and raised an eyebrow slightly. "As expected, the difficulty has increased by more than double compared to the previous one, at least two or three times. However, the power of this spell has also increased by more than double, with wind and thunder raging, as if it were the end of the world."

This is a spell that can only be mastered at the Fourth Sequence. Looking at this spell information, a serious expression appeared on his face.

He immediately sat down and began to study carefully.

"Clouds hang ten thousand feet high, wind and thunder bring calamity, the earth splits with a thousand pounds of force, destroying decay and vanquishing evil, with my Dharma seal, I unleash the Apocalyptic Wind and Thunder..."

"Apocalyptic Wind and Thunder Spell!"

This time, after a full two hours, Cao Fengqi recited a lengthy incantation, causing wind and thunder to rage throughout the space.

A terrifying, malevolent wind and lightning that seemed to tear through space threatened to destroy the world a thousand meters ahead.

"Such powerful magic."

Cao Fengqi looked at the power of the spell in front of him and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The range of this spell is comparable to the powerful skills of one's own level 0 battle pet, only slightly inferior in power.

However, it should be noted that there is still a gap of more than 3,000 between one's mental strength and level 10.

"However, this spell also consumes a lot of mental energy."

He thought to himself.

This spell, even for Fourth Sequence, level 9 mage, is considered a powerful move.

[Skill Proficiency Cheat detected that the host has mastered the spell Lightning Strike Spell. Instantly max out the skill level?]

[Yes!]

[Apocalyptic Wind and Thunder Spell: Instantly Max Level!]

[Apocalyptic Wind and Thunder Spell: At max level, the Apocalyptic Wind and Thunder Spell currently requires 2.5 seconds to cast. It consumes a certain amount of mental energy to unleash a powerful attack within a 1000-meter radius of mental energy * 1. Increasing the sequence level, mental energy, and elemental affinity can further reduce the casting time.]

The cheat program kept sending notifications, and Cao Fengqi immediately maxed out the level with one click.

"It only takes 2.5 seconds, which is a very short time. Even if it consumes a lot of mental energy, I can still use it more than ten times."

"With a battle pet blocking in front, my damage output is in no way inferior to that of a level 10 battle pet."

Cao Fengqi murmured in amazement as he cast the spell again.

"It took two hours, but the casting time was reduced to 2.5 seconds, a feat unmatched by anyone, triggering the sect's highest assessment and inheritance."

"Upon completion of the assessment, you will receive the Twin Star Sect's supreme secret technique."
