Chapter 234 Scholar Presentation: Acclaimed by the Audience, Academic Elite!
Silver Hall.
This hall is only opened when the Silver Society holds academic exhibitions.
Aside from important academic exchanges, it is only used when someone is promoted to a higher academic level.
The side halls are generally used for small exchange meetings and academic advancement.
At this time, hundreds of wizards were already seated in the side hall.
At the very center was Elena, who didn't care about advancing in this round; she was only there because she was a judge and needed to be present.
Chahara and Liam sat on either side.
Besides the three, there were other senior scholars and academics in the first two rows, while those in the back were all trainee scholars.
"Who advanced today? I haven't seen anyone with a chance of advancing lately!"
"I don't know."
Seeing the two trainee scholars whispering to each other in front of him, Hugo behind him also had a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He originally intended to become a scholar, so he paid close attention to that.
Indeed, I haven't heard of anyone planning to advance recently.
"Perhaps he was promoted after years of training and accumulation of experience."
Hugo pondered.
"here we go!"
A voice in front of him interrupted his thoughts, and he looked up.
Then we saw Diana, who was in charge of hosting, come out and smile at everyone.
"Today's promotion ceremony features a newly promoted scholar who has been with the academy for less than three years." Diana's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
Less than three years?
The wizards present were immediately surprised.
The main problem is that this timeframe is too short; even five or six years, or even seven or eight years, wouldn't be considered long.
who is it?
Meanwhile, the new batch of trainee scholars looked at each other, puzzled.
There aren't many newcomers in the last three years, and Hugo is the most promising.
But Victor Hugo is sitting right here.
"Who?"
Hugo straightened up a bit and instinctively scanned his surroundings.
A familiar face came into view. Everyone's here? Wait, there's one person missing.
Could it be him?
Hugo felt his breath catch in his throat, then heard Diana continue from ahead: "Over three years, he published two articles, providing a detailed classification and analysis of Fire Emblem runes..."
""
Fire Emblem?
The wizards below already knew who it was from the name.
But it also made me more confused.
"That's not enough, just two articles!" Hugo's brows were furrowed as if they were tree bark.
The trainee scholars who usually surrounded him were also taken aback.
"Hugo!"
17
When someone called him, he just waved his hand and didn't say anything.
Everyone's attention then returned to the center of the hall.
"In addition to his research on Fire Emblem runes, he has submitted forty highly feasible research hypotheses to the Society in the past few months, covering multiple fields such as psychic magic, elemental runes, and alchemical materials. He has also been recognized by Elena University scholars and has earned three thousand credits, bringing his total credits to four thousand five hundred, thus advancing to the rank of scholar."
A low gasp rose from the audience.
Forty portions?
Several months?
Three thousand credits?
Hugo's fingers tightened on the armrest of the seat.
Diana stepped aside and gestured towards the entrance to the side hall.
"Let us welcome the new full scholars of the Silver Society."
"Ian Green".
The hall was quiet.
Everyone looked back at the curtain, and Ian slowly walked out.
He wore the academy-style wizard's robes, and the scholar's silver ring on his knuckles gleamed warmly under the gilded lamplight.
His steps were very steady.
Standing in the center of the stage, he bowed deeply to all the wizards!
"Is it really him?"
Hugo gripped the armrest with his right hand and tightened his grip, as if he wanted to crush it into dust.
Even upon hearing the name, he was somewhat incredulous.
Until I saw someone.
Did he become a scholar before I did?
"Forty conjectures? How is that possible?"
"Isn't this number a bit too outrageous!"
Hearing the discussions of some scholars around him, Hugo gradually calmed down.
yes?
Forty conjectures.
If this number hadn't come from Diana's mouth and been confirmed by Elena, he would have even suspected it was a joke.
It's important to understand that conjectures made through learning are not so simple; they must have at least a 50% or higher degree of feasibility.
How long has Ian been a member of the academy, and how can he have so much research?
With these questions in mind, Ian finished his pleasantries and began to discuss the topic of his speech.
Adaptive Improvements to Zero-Circle Sorcery
Improvements to Zero-Circle Sorcery!
What a boastful tone!
Hugo raised an eyebrow. Despite being a mid-level first-ring wizard, he wouldn't dare to claim he could improve zero-ring magic.
Because zero-ring witchcraft seems simple, but it is something every wizard will come into contact with, and for this reason, it has undergone improvement time and time again.
It is extremely difficult to make improvements.
Even seasoned scholars would never dare to say such a thing.
Not only him, but looking at the eyes of the other scholars, he knew that they all obviously thought the same thing.
Is this a plan to make a big splash at the conference for advancing scholars?
But is that really the case?
On the stage, Ian looked down and saw a large number of scholars, some in the middle of the first ring, some in the later stages, and even one or two second-ring wizards.
But these wizards!
On witchcraft?
Ian felt his hundreds of master-level spells, covering all aspects of zero-ring spells.
He wouldn't dare say he was good at first-circle magic, but in terms of zero-circle magic, even a second-circle wizard would be almost no match for him.
This is his confidence.
Ian stood on the stage, looking down at the hundreds of scholars below.
"Before we begin, I'd like to clarify one thing."
"What I'm going to talk about today is not how to make zero-ring witchcraft stronger."
He paused.
"Zero-ring sorcery is powerful enough. Through countless iterations, every version that has survived to this day is a standard answer that has been verified by countless wizards with time and lives."
""
"But the standard answer is not the same as your answer."
"It's like the same robe; it fits some people perfectly, while it's too tight for others. It's not a problem with the robe; it's a problem with the people."
"What I'm going to talk about today is how to make zero-ring witchcraft more suitable for you."
Even better!
At this moment, Elena, who had been keeping her head down, looked up, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.
The other wizards also watched Ian's confident face, their eyes changing.
"Any zero-circle sorcery, no matter how simple it may seem, can be broken down into three parts."
Ian raised his hand, and a rune structure diagram appeared in the air—the basic wizard's hand.
"Energy input port." He pointed to a node in the upper left corner of the rune.
"Structural transformation layer." He pointed to the interwoven patterns in the center of the runes.
"Effect output end." He pointed to the cone-shaped structure in the lower right corner of the rune.
"And this determines the apprentice's mental energy consumption, the time required for casting spells, and the effects, etc."
"It's very precise, but it may not be entirely suitable for you, because every wizard's situation is different, which I believe is familiar to everyone."
The wizards nodded.
This is true.
Seeing that everyone was engaged, Ian continued, "After disassembling, the second step we need to take is perception—perceiving where your use of this rune is unsuitable, where there are problems, and then adjusting..."
How to adjust...?
97
Ian first briefly shared his experience, saying, "Here's a very simple method: find the successive versions of old witchcraft. Although these witchcrafts have been phased out, each part has its merits, and you can use a structure with the same function as a substitute."
replace?
Upon hearing this, some of the wizards below could no longer conceal their curiosity.
Someone had their eyes closed, seemingly already sketching.
"Next comes grafting and solidification, how to replace and completely solidify these fragments..."
As Ian spoke, he demonstrated using the wizard's hand.
As one of the most classic forms of witchcraft in the wizarding world, it is known to all wizards, and therefore easier to understand.
As the wizards below watched Ian modify the standard Wizard's Hand rune to a new version, they all felt their breath catch in their throats.
Then Ian took out some tools to test.
"The same witchcraft, the same mental energy, and it's still me, but the latter's witchcraft power has increased by 20%, mental energy consumption has decreased by 10%, and communication speed is also 20% faster."
The wizards below were completely stunned by Ian's demonstration.
Even the few remaining second-ring wizards looked serious.
"Improved witchcraft? No, adaptive witchcraft?"
Hugo listened to all of this in a daze.
In his hand was a model that had been modified, and he could feel that it was even better.
Many wizards have subconscious actions, but no witchcraft ever directly tells them what to do.
But today Ian summarized it directly into several steps.
"I'm not as good as him!"
At this moment, Hugo completely acknowledged Ian's worth, and his previous resentment vanished entirely.
The same applies to the trainee scholars in the same batch at this time.
Not only them, but also the wizards present who had tried successfully also felt their breathing become rapid.
"That guy!"
Diana's eyes narrowed slightly.
It was originally just a celebration of his exchange, so it was fine even if Ian said something simple.
But he didn't expect Ian to pull off something so big.
Chahara and Liam exchanged a glance, noticing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Only scholars like them could appreciate the importance of Ian's content today.
It has some significance not only for wizard apprentices, but also for first-ring wizards.
"Ian, I'd like to know how many zero-ring spells you've tried, all of which used this method."
Elena, who was at the very front, stood up.
Look at her.
Ian confidently stated, "I have modified every single one of the zero-ring spells I have learned, more than a hundred of them."
This modification does not involve a fundamental change; it is an instinctive transformation resulting from his mastery of various witchcraft techniques.
He simply summarized his experience today.
"very good."
Elena looked at Ian with eyes full of admiration.
Even if Ian doesn't complete her revisions by the deadline, she will still include him in the project.
"You could organize what you said today; I think it would be worthy of being the cover of the next Spark Collection!" Diana said slowly.
As soon as he said this...
The wizards below all gaped open.
Although Spark Collection is the domain of zero-ring wizards, its price is lower, so its reach is wider and its influence is even greater than that of Elemental Latitude and Longitude.
Therefore, his cover articles are all carefully selected, and many times they are insights about zero ring written by top second-ring wizards, which are of high quality.
For wizards, this was even more surprising than the first section of the Elemental Latitude and Longitude.
But are they worthy?
The wizards present pondered this question and all gave affirmative answers.
This is an extremely important piece of content for zero-ring wizards.
It might even spread Ian's fame not only within the academy, but also throughout the entire region of elemental mysticism.
This is not a joke.
"Ian, you are outstanding. In all my years as a scholar, your understanding of zero-ring witchcraft is second to none. You truly deserve the title of scholar."
After she finished speaking, she slowly clapped her hands.
A sound rang out.
The wizards behind them clapped as they heard the sound.
Applause resounded throughout the Silver Hall.
It seems to want to penetrate through this place.
As the echoing sounds reverberated around him, Ian stood in the center of the stage.
He bowed deeply to everyone once again!
I just logged off the backend.
Then Elena walked in, looked at Ian and said, "Ian, I look forward to you completing my test. I'll be waiting for you at Wind Whisper Academy."
"Lady Elena.
"6
Ian bowed.
He never expected that this content would cause such a big stir.
Then we saw that Diana and the others also had smiles on their faces.
"congratulations."
Ian nodded, it was the first time he had ever seen Diana, this intellectual beauty, so enthusiastic.
When he went outside, a large number of scholars and trainees swarmed around him and got to know Ian.
Not far away, Hugo watched as the apprentice scholars who had originally been surrounding him now surrounded Ian, and his expression was also complicated.
That's really lacking in scholarly demeanor.
Seeing Ian approaching quickly, he strode out, pushing aside the scholars, and then hurried toward the center, intending to ask questions.
Ian also went through many hardships to get out of here, and finally said goodbye in a hurry.
Ian left.
Many scholars were seen heading towards the Silver Society Library, wanting to see the materials contributed by Ian.
Hugo followed him.
I've secured a supplementary strategy for dealing with first-circle sorcery.
As I watched...
His gaze turned serious, for this was not about adapting to witchcraft, but about modifying it.
Moreover, it provides two complete pathways, both with a feasibility rate exceeding 70%.
In other words, if we follow this line of thought, it is entirely possible to improve this witchcraft.
Once improved, there is a chance that it will be included in the elemental coordinates!
Thinking of this, he looked at the dozens of scholars present who were all looking at these things.
One question.
They are all similar in content.
A look of shock flashed across his eyes. Was this Ian's true research ability?
Not to mention him, even the other scholars, including the senior scholars, were all looking at each other in bewilderment.
The prestige of Ian Scholars continues to rise!
A rising academic star?
Do not!
They should be dazzling academic elites!
