Chapter 54: The Support of Crystals
“It’s actually a traveling-type spiritual weapon!”
With a mage, there would naturally be weapons used by mages and so on.
However, ordinary weapons were simply unable to withstand the strength of a mage.
Hence, at this time, spiritual weapons appeared.
Not only could spiritual weapons withstand the strength of a mage, high-tier spiritual weapons could also give extremely high bonuses to magic attacks.
Other than offensive spiritual weapons, there were also auxiliary and defensive spiritual weapons.
Offensive and defensive spiritual weapons were more common, while auxiliary spiritual weapons were rarer.
As for traveling-type spiritual weapons, they were extremely rare.
In this magic academy, even offensive spiritual weapons were hard to find.
And the principal actually had a traveling-type spiritual weapon!
Not only did a travelling-type spiritual weapon require expensive raw materials, but it was even more difficult to make.
In addition, it required the support of crystals to constantly consume magic power while traveling!
Thus, even if a travelling-type spiritual weapon was made, it couldn’t be used in the future.
Now, the principal was using the spiritual sail in order to save face.
If it were any other time, he wouldn’t be willing to take it out to travel.
“Whoosh!”
The spiritual sail was extremely fast. Lin Ming, who was on top of the spiritual sail, could even hear the sound of it breaking through the air.
This also set up Lin Ming’s idea of refining.
Right now, as Lin Ming’s magic power increased, he needed a powerful spiritual weapon more and more.
Whether it was an offensive spiritual weapon or a defensive spiritual weapon.
“Raise your condition to the best. When we arrive, you will be directly sent into the secret realm of the competition.”
The principal said loudly.
“I believe you all know the rules. When the time comes, if you are in danger, crush the teleportation crystals and leave the secret realm immediately.”
It wouldn’t be too much to ask them to do this a hundred times.
After all, this was a matter of life and death!
“Yes!”
Everyone nodded at the same time.
They also understood the principle that life was more important than anything else.
As the spiritual sail moved forward, its speed became faster and faster.
And as its speed increased, a protective barrier appeared above the spiritual sail.
Every student on the spiritual sail felt the spiritual energy become denser.
This was what the principal had obtained for them in their best condition by consuming more crystals.
As time passed, they were getting closer and closer to their destination.
“We’re here!”
While Lin Ming was immersed in his meditation, the principal’s voice sounded.
“Everyone, stand up!”
Following the principal’s voice, everyone stood up.
What appeared in front of everyone was a huge castle.
With a blur, everyone was teleported to the front of the castle.
The open city gate was like the bloody mouth of a huge beast, giving everyone a huge sense of oppression.
The principal was at the front, and everyone followed closely behind.
Just the entrance alone made them shiver.
Only Lin Ming was filled with anticipation!
“Principal Green, you’re the first to arrive again this year.”
An old man came from inside, smiling warmly, and actually made the oppression in the surroundings disappear!
And on his body, the team members who came actually couldn’t feel any magic aura!
This was the so-called returning to the basics!
And to reach this level, one had to be at least a Sage Tier Mage!
In this castle, there was actually a Sage Tier Mage!
One had to know that in the empire where Lin Ming was at, there was only one Sage Tier Mage!
“Senior Gandulf!”
The principal hurriedly bowed. The person in front of him had an extremely high status.
As for Gandulf, he had been guarding the castle for so many years and had never participated in any battles.
He could be considered one of the few truly good people.
“Take your seats.”
Gandulf waved his long sleeves and said.
“Yes.”
The principal brought Lin Ming and the others to take their seats in the castle.
Their positions were arranged in the rankings of the previous competition.
Lin Ming and the others were in the back.
At this moment, many students of the Green Academy were surprised to find that the magnificent castle was transparent from the inside out.
The principal looked at their surprised eyes and naturally understood the shock in their hearts.
“Principal, the castle looks so thick from the outside. Why is it transparent from the inside out?”
A student couldn’t help but ask.
“Because the castle itself is a spiritual weapon! And this spiritual weapon can not be used by any powerful mage.”
“Even someone as powerful as Senior Gandulf can not become its owner. He can only guard here to prevent anyone with bad intentions from destroying it.”
When the principal first saw the castle and heard that it was a spiritual weapon, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
“Spiritual weapon!”
When all the students heard this reply, they were momentarily speechless.
Lin Ming stroked the ground.
This world was too big!
“Principal, is it because this spiritual weapon is too big that no one can refine it for their own use?”
A student couldn’t help but ask.
“No, it’s because this spiritual weapon has its own consciousness!”
The principal shook his head.
“Has its own consciousness?”
Hearing this answer, Lin Ming was actually stunned.
A spiritual weapon could have its own consciousness. What tier of spiritual weapon was this?
“Squeak!”
Just as everyone was shocked by the castle, a voice suddenly appeared, interrupting their thoughts.
“Is this… a phoenix?”
Looking at the enormous, magnificent life-form above their heads, one of the students couldn’t help but ask.
“This is the mount of the principal of the Andrew Academy.”
The principal spoke.
“It does indeed have a little bit of the bloodline of a phoenix, but it’s extremely thin.”
If it was a real phoenix, even a Sage Tier Mage wouldn’t be a match for it!
The principal of the Andrew Academy arrived. After bowing to Gandulf, he quickly followed and took his seat.
“Hiss!”
In the sky, four pegasus pulled a crystal palace and arrived outside the castle.
“What a gaudy thing.”
The principal harrumphed coldly. It could be seen that he wasn’t on good terms with the people from the crystal palace.
In a short while, the participants from the various academies arrived one after another.
In comparison, the spiritual sail that everyone had been envious of actually appeared exceptionally shabby!
Lin Ming could tell from the appearance of every principal that Green Academy had always been at the bottom, and it wasn’t all because of the students’ problems.
Green Academy’s foundation and its own resources couldn’t be compared to other academies.
But since Lin Ming had appeared, regardless of whether it was the students with numerous resources or the monsters with extraordinary talent, one would be beheaded!
“Everyone, welcome to Patinburg Castle!”
Gandulf floated in the air as he spoke.
“The fact that all of you are able to participate in this competition means that all of you are the most outstanding students in the academy. I hope that this competition will allow all of you to receive a lot of goods.”
“These are the teleportation crystals. I believe that all of you will know their uses before you arrive.”
As Gandulf spoke, ten teleportation crystals floated in front of each academy.
