Chapter 840 - Mental

[You are now entering the spirit test]

[Level 1 will soon begin]

This time, Emery knew better what he was getting into, so he continued to maintain his composure as he found himself standing in the middle of an empty space surrounded by bright floating orbs that quickly approached him and began to suppress him with spirit pressure.

Knowing that it would be a fairly straightforward test, Emery's facial expression did not change as he switched from his [Night Transformation] which focused on physical enhancement to his [Day Transformation] which focused on spirit enhancement.

As Emery's massive body started to shrink and his jet-black fur began to turn to a silvery color, Magus Ramona, who was observing the course of the test, straightened up in shock and had her eyes fixed on Emery's body.

"What's this now?!"

The female magus had her mouth slightly open, as she had not seen this side of him before. As a bonafide magus, she could clearly sense Emery's body started to radiate a powerful surge of spirit force in rapid manner, and with it, she and the other people watched the screen showing how he just calmly stood there as the test level increased.

[You have passed level 1]

[Level 2 will soon begin]

[You have passed level 2]

[Level 3 will soon begin]

Following the arrival of the next level, the pressure that the floating orbs imposed on Emery also increased to match his level of difficulty. However, compared to the previous time when he started to feel a painful sensation at level 5 and was determined to have failed at level 7, this time the feeling of discomfort only started to appeared at level 7.

This sight, once again, made Magus Ramona nervous and she started biting her nails in anxiety. "I really thought he was just a brawl type but from the looks of it, it seems I was completely wrong."

[You have passed level 7]

[Mental score 7000 - rank 64]

[Level 8 will soon begin]

In addition to the mind-boggling performance he was showing right now, the magus' disbelief was also due to the fact that Emery was still a rank 8 acolyte. In fact, he was the only one in the privileged class who was still rank 8 acolyte, which clearly showed that he had some sort of limitation in his cultivation progress.

While it was still quite absurd, it was still somewhat believable for Emery to have such monstrous physical capabilities since he was known to be a half-blood.

However, the same couldn't be said for the cultivation realm, which was supposed to be more predictable. Hence, she was in complete confusion as to why this mere rank 8 acolyte was still able to stand straight under that much of spirit pressure.

While Magus Ramona was lost in thought, Emery had already passed level 8 and was soon entering the next level.

[You have passed level 8]

[Mental score 8000 - rank 39]

[Level 9 will soon begin]

The female magus, actually, wasn't wrong.

Even though Emery's dual-core was a unique, one-of-kind miracle that allowed to have basically twice as much spirit pool and power, his secret of breezing through this test lay within the innate ability that his [Day Transformation] had, the spell/magic resistance.

This, coupled with his terrifying spirit power, gave him the mental capacity high enough to nonchalantly stroll past the previous levels as well as past level 9.

[You have passed level 9]

[Mental score 10000 - rank 26]

[Level 10 will soon begin]

Finally, it was at level 10 that Emery started to feel the awaited pain that gradually became stronger as time passed. It was a completely different sensation, one that made him couldn't help but think that the previous nine levels were nothing compared to level 10 he was currently experiencing.

The feeling was similar to when he was upgrading the bloodline when he stood in front of the magnificent wolf. He was unable to move and In a matter of seconds, the spirit energy in Emery's nature and dark core swirled chaotically due to the tremendous pressure and then rapidly exploded out of control.

It happened so suddenly that it made Emery lose control of his body and fall to his knees. Immediately after, he lost his consciousness and everything went black for a moment.

[Spirit Test concluded]

[Your mental score 10250 - rank 18]

[Physical score undefined - rank 5]

[Calculating your new ranking from the physical and mental score]

[Congratulations! Your final test rank is 9th]

At the same time as the last notification appeared, Emery found himself back in the real world where his body was lying in the tube-like chamber. It didn't take long for the chamber to open, and as he slowly came out, Emery noticed how he was welcomed by dozens of strange and awkward stares.

"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"

There was no immediate response, which caused the atmosphere to become even more awkward and Emery gradually felt uncomfortable.

"No On the contrary, you did extremely well."

Emery's final result was enough to leave the talkative Magus Ramona at a loss for words.

It was at this moment that she realized that the young man she tease five months ago no longer existed, and the one standing in front of him right now could definitely be a genius who would become a prominent figure in the magus universe.

Annara who was standing beside the female magus was not much different. From what she had just seen, what she heard that night in prison about Emery defeating a half-blood magus was clearly not made up.

After hearing Magus Ramona's words, Emery ignored the gazes still directed at him and walked towards the screen where his detailed results of his test were already displayed.

As for the test details and comprehensive evaluation of him:

[Emery Ambrose]

[Privilege acolytes member ID: 83192008]

[Average stat comparison]

[Battle Power 238 (323) SS]

[Strength 210 (319) - SS]

[Agility 248 (312] - SS]

[Endurance 256(338) - SSS]

[Spirit force 1000 - S]

[Spirit Power - S]

[Spirit Control - A]

[Spirit Pool - SS]

It was certainly a result worthy of being in the top 10 of all the human geniuses of the thousands of worlds.

The 9th rank listed next to his name certainly made Emery happy, and at the same time proud of what he has achieved.

With a small but confident smile on his face, Emery turned around and said to Annara.

"So who do you think I should challenge first?"
