Chapter 15 The Magic Pavilion

When he entered the Magic Pavilion, Li Kong picked up a unique smell. Looking around, he saw that the huge Magic Pavilion was divided into countless rooms. A faint light flickered in each room. Upon closer inspection, one would find that these rooms were divided into several smaller areas. Each area had a labeled sign, metal, wood, water... According to Li Kong's rough calculation, apart from the skills of a few extremely rare elements, the pavilion contained magic skills of all elements.

Li Kong could not help but exclaim in admiration, "This collection is impressive. No wonder this is the best magic school of Xuzhou City."

He looked around and saw that the students around him had already begun to choose magic skills in their corresponding elements. Even Zhao Qingyun was no exception. He realized that he needed to speed up and stop awing. This also reminded him that he had to speed up. Although he already had the Formula of Five Elements, he should choose another skill. One additional skill would mean one more possibility in battle. So he had to quickly find the best skill possible within the hour.

Zhao Qingyun looked around the wood element region. His father had told him about a magic skill called the Divine Wood Dragon and asked him to acquire it. When his father was young, he came upon an ancient magic book, but because the book was missing a few pages, it couldn't be used for cultivation purposes. The book had mentioned the 'Divine Wood Dragon' and his father had heard the skill could be found in the Magic Pavillion. So Zhao Qingyun's father asked him to obtain it. As it was a skill passed down from ancient times, it must be very powerful.

Zhou Kai looked around in the fire section. though the flame element was a variant element, it was still at its core, a type of fire element. "What magic skill should I choose? Oh forget it, let's just start out with the ones with a darker shade!" Zhou Kai figured out a plan that he believed was wise to solve his indicision.

Fire Wheel, Fire Waves, Fire Flame Slash... Li Kong passed the magic skills one by one. They all shared the same characteristic, having a light protective shield.

According to what Instructor Fan had just said, the weakest shield was white, and then, yellow, blue, purple, red, and finally black. All the ones just not were yellow.

He had tested. It seemed that the most powerful shield he could break at the moment was blue. So he set his eyes to hunt for a magic skill with a blue book.

Time ticked past and about half an hour later, Zhao Qingyun finally found the 'Divine Wood Dragon'. It had a blue protective screen. He could not help but frown as he didn't seem to have the strength to break this shield.

He thought to himself, guess I have to use it. Zhao Qingyun took out a cyan stone from his pocket and smashed it onto the shield. Suddenly, a cyan light cut through the shield. The light shield shook and slowly dissipated.

This stone was his father's, Zhao Jiahao's, secret weapon - the Magic Stone. This was a special item that only mages of the Eighth Grade could forge. Stored inside the stone is the full-power attack of a high-rank mage. It was usually a life-saving method given to the children of large clans. In order to obtain the 'Divine Wood Dragon', his father had specially prepared the Devil World Stone that corresponded to the blue, purple, and red light shields.

Feeling the information in his mind, Zhao Qingyun smiled sinisterly and said, "As expected of magic spell left behind from ancient times. Even the circulation diagram is this complicated. Li Kong, I will make you pay the price."

"Ouch! Oh man, the blue screens are too hard to break. I don't have much time left. Guess I'll have to leave you here, my little darling. But when I become stronger, I will definitely come and take you away." Zhou Kai reluctantly left the room with books of blue light shield.

He walked into a room filled with yellow light shields instead and said, "There isn't much time left, I'll take you."

Zhou Kai gathered his strength and smashed into the protective shield. With a loud bang, the light screen shattered. Zhou Kai who was using all his strength almost fell to the ground. He stabilized his body and said with a confused face, "Damn, why is this yellow shield so weak? It broke just like that and caused me to almost ruin my reputation."

Narcissistically, he flicked his hair. He grabbed the 'Nine Fire Waves' and ran outside. He didn't know how much time he had used, so he had to hurry out, just in case.

"I wonder what skill Li Kong took." He pondered as he ran.

Over in another room, Li Kong was frantically attacking a blue light shield. "This blue light shield sure is tough. I've attacked it for so long and it still hasn't shattered." Li Kong felt a little down. He realized he needed to give all he's got or else this shield will never give.

Flame Fist! Li Kong clenched his fist tightly as he activated the elemental energy from his body. With a loud cracking sound, a thin line started to form on the shield. Seeing this c***k, Li Kong let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that he still had the chance to the shield

Bang! Bang! Bang! Li Kong continued to punch the shield. The c***k grew as more punches landed on the shield. Finally, with a loud noise, the shield disappeared. He picked up the skill' Flame Burial 'and examined it carefully.

"Great, I didn't waste my effort. It was definitely worth it. The complexity of this' Flame Burial ' circulation is similar to that of my 'Flame Fist' in the Formula of Five Elements." Li Kong said to himself. He chose this skill precisely because both skills started with the word 'Flame.'

"What's going on? Why hasn't Li Kong come out yet? Did something happen to him?" Zhou Kai asked Mo Xing as he paced back and forth anxiously.

"Don't worry. There are still ten minutes left. I'm sure Li Kong will do fine." Mo Xing comforted him, but his eyes looked sneaky as if he was thinking of something else.

"Haha, thank the heavens! Now only five minutes are left and that country bumpkin Li Kong hasn't come out yet." Zhao Qingyun was overjoyed when he glanced around and did not see Li Kong. He gestured to the guys beside him. One of the guys with an eagle-hooked nose put on a wretched face and walked toward Zhou Kai. He asked with pride, "Are you still waiting for Li Kong? There are only five minutes left. He probably is still struggling because he couldn't get a magic skill!"

"You!" Hearing this, Zhou Kai clenched his fists and glared at the hawk-nosed guy.

"A bumpkin is a bumpkin. Can you believe that he wanted to compete with the Young Master Zhao? Is he worthy?" The harsh voice continued.

"Forget it, Zhou Kai. Don't argue with him. Let's just wait for Li Kong to come out." Mo Xing tugged at Zhou Kai's sleeve and said.

Fan Xiao was also puzzled as to why Li Kong still hadn't come out. With his strength, he could definitely get a skill with a yellow shield. What was going on? He subconsciously touched his chin as he pondered.

There was only one minute left, and the entire class realized that Li Kong had not come out. The atmosphere tensed.

"Still not coming out?"

"Could there have been an accident?" A series of questions were thrown out in the students' minds.

"What exactly is going on?" Zhou Kai became more and more frustrated. He did not believe that Li Kong could not come out on time. His eyes started glaring at Zhao Qingyun.

"Don't stare at me like that. I didn't do anything to him. Maybe he is still wasting time with a blue shield. " Zhao Qingyun laughed gloatingly.

"Did he fail?" This was the thought of all the students in the class. Li Kong was one of the Superior Class. If he failed to get a skill, it would've been a joke to everyone.

"10, 9, 8..." There was only the sound of stone bells turning in the square.

"4, 3, 2" On the last second, a voice broke the silence, "Sorry, I'm late."

Many let out a sigh of relief while some felt unwilling.

"You sure are on time. What skill did you end up getting? Don't tell me it's a white one." The hawk-nosed guy mocked again. The originally calm atmosphere immediately became tense.

"Silence!" A solemn voice echoed in the square. "When I call out your name, read out the magic skill that you have obtained."

"Yu Lan!"

A petite girl quickly walked to Fan Xiao's side and said timidly, "Instructor, I got the 'Stacking Waves'."

"Nice, a yellow magic skill."

"Dai Pengyu!"

"Earth Spikes!"

"Yellow magic skill."

"Zhao Qingyun!"

Zhao Qingyun was overjoyed. It was finally his turn. This time, he will definitely shock everyone and take the opportunity to humiliate Li Kong.

"The Divine Wood Dragon!" Zhao Qingyun said loudly, unable to hide the pride on his face.

"Hmm, not bad, a blue magic skill."
