"I did it!"
Second Prince Saint Julio actually succeeded first, and even he found it unbelievable.
Beside him, First Prince Saint Cassio and Third Prince St. Antonio simultaneously looked at the Rune rising in Saint Julio’s hand; indeed, it was the first formula Miss Ailin had written.
"Don’t rush, there are three more!"
St. Antonio said with envy on his face.
Saint Julio didn’t say much and continued to record the remaining three formulas. This ti, his speed was faster, and it didn’t take him half an hour to record all four formulas!
And when the recording of the four formulas was completed, Saint Julio’s body suddenly lit up with a glow, making the Mana inside him surge in an instant.
"Oh? It seems our Second Prince is indeed clever," Ailin said.
Saint Julio, who had been sowhat at odds with Ailin, suddenly understood what he should say at this mont.
"It’s your knowledge that is exquisite—"
Ailin imdiately laughed: "How do you feel?"
"I feel, my whole body is filled with Mana!" said Saint Julio honestly.
"That’s right; these four formulas are ant to replace the formulas you originally had in your body. They are more efficient than those you initially recorded, allowing you to cast Magic faster, increase power, and also speed up the recovery of Mana," Ailin explained.
There was no evidence, but now with Prince Saint Julio as the model, those soldiers who had been worried in their hearts imdiately decisively abandoned their originally recorded formulas and began recording the new formulas.
But!
It wasn’t that simple!
The new formulas were actually very awkward, especially for those accustod to the old formulas. The awkwardness of these four combined formulas was enough to give many soldiers, who considered themselves powerful, an extre headache.
However, as ti passed, more and more people began to emit light. When all four formulas were recorded, they could all feel that the Mana inside them seed more compatible with themselves than ever before!
"Ti is almost up; let take a look,"
Ailin suddenly spoke. In the room, only about half of the people emitted light, and among those warriors, only two-thirds.
"There are more than I thought. I actually expected that it would be good to have a hundred of you, it seems I indeed underestimated you."
Upon hearing Ailin’s words, those soldiers who had illuminated with light suddenly felt sowhat superior, as they were underestimated by Ailin. Those who had not yet lit up beca more anxious, especially those who had recorded the fourth formula, were already sweating with urgency. When had they ever been required to record formulas in such a short ti?
"Alright! Ti’s up! Those who have not yet illuminated, please leave on your own, because you definitely won’t understand the formulas that follow," Ailin said, clapping her hands.
So who gave up hope could only leave, while others were just a bit short and desperately tried to record while others left the room, managing to illuminate at the last mont.
Of the three Princes, only Second Prince Saint Julio had succeeded in lighting up, neither First Prince Saint Cassio nor Third Prince St. Antonio had even successfully recorded the first formula.
Indeed, this required talent.
At this mont, there were still over a thousand people left in the small stadium stands.
"Alright, for the next hour, you need to record the following three formulas,"
As she spoke, Ailin ford three new formulas with her Mana.
"Pay attention, you must record these three formulas in the order I wrote them, or else..."
Boom!
Before Ailin could finish her sentence, a soldier exploded on the spot.
"Otherwise, it will cause an explosion due to the chaos of Mana, just like what you have just seen,"
Ailin continued.
These three new formulas were even more complex, and because of the previous experience, this ti no one dared to waste any ti.
Hum!
With a ditative hum, a Halo composed of Runes appeared above Saint Julio’s head.
"I’ve completed it!"
"Crown Prince Saint Julio spoke loudly, and only ten minutes had just passed," he said.
"Indeed! Crown Prince Saint Julio is truly a gifted individual,"
Miss Ailin nodded as she spoke.
Then, so began to gradually display their Rune Halos, but this ti, not many did. Even after an hour, only a third had shown a Rune Halo.
"It seems that this ti, the result is just as I expected,"
Ailin nodded as she spoke.
For the remaining three hundred people, Ailin demonstrated an extrely complex formula, which took a full minute just to write down.
"This is the last formula. In the next three days, whoever among you masters this formula will have successfully harnessed this new and powerful force. Those who fail to master it will see all the formulas you’ve noted until now disappear. Of course, if you find it too difficult, you can leave from here, and again, all the formulas you’ve noted will disappear. The choice is yours to make. So, give it your all, ladies and gentlen," she said.
After speaking, Ailin turned and left.
Every person was caught in an unprecedented tension because, out of the seven formulas given to them, they had only been allotted two hours. Yet, they were now given three days to master just this one formula! The difficulty was so imnse!
However, the excitent for Crown Prince Saint Julio only grew. He rubbed his hands together, trying to note the formula within a few minutes to demonstrate his strength. But soon, he realized that even he was at a loss on how to approach this formula!
It wasn’t just him—almost everyone found the formula impossible to note. If you used your Mana to note down a Rune, the Rune would quickly vanish. If you worked at an extrely fast pace, by the ti you got to the third Rune, the first would still disappear.
In other words, unless you could record the entire formula in an extrely short period, it would inevitably vanish!
Just how short was this period?
Three minutes!
If you couldn’t note down the entire Rune within three minutes, the Rune would certainly disappear in the end!
No wonder three days were given!
Ailin had left, possibly off sowhere to play. Emperor Saint Jialin had also co to visit a few tis. In that small arena, over three hundred people watched the exceedingly complex formula in the center with rapt attention, their eyes bloodshot, yet unable to make the slightest progress.
Finally, after the first day, a person could no longer bear the tornt and left the arena screaming. The mont he stepped out, the glow on his body and the Rune Halo above his head disappeared. The seven formulas he had noted down vanished as well. Not only that, but he had even erased his original formulas, rendering him practically unable to perform any magic and nearly an ordinary person for a period of ti!
The vast difference nearly drove the soldier mad!
But it was his own choice; he had no one else to bla.
The second day passed, and still, no one had managed to note down the formula. So began to complain and lose faith, while others gave up completely. The only reason they hadn’t left was that they couldn’t bear to do so without seeing if there was still a chance to turn things around in the end.
Finally, at noon on the third day, Crown Prince Saint Julio, with blood-red eyes and hair like a bird’s nest, suddenly let out a great shout. A full set of magical armor made up of Runes appeared out of nowhere on his body! The armor glowed and the Runes flowed, with a trendous magical aura surging out like the tides. At his chest, stars of Mana appeared one after another!
One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six!
A full six stars of Mana!
Almost everyone turned their gaze toward Crown Prince Saint Julio. Upon seeing the ergence of the six stars of Mana, the previously silent arena erupted. The flas within everyone’s hearts were ignited!
The last formula, it turned out, possessed such terrifying power!
Crown Prince Saint Julio, who was previously just an average Mage with, at most, two stars of Mana, had rely used a staff inlaid with fragnts of the Cosmic Stone to masquerade as having four stars of Mana. But now, without the aid of the Cosmic Stone’s fragnts, he actually possessed six stars of Mana! This wasn’t simply a threefold increase—the gain with each additional star of Mana becos increasingly difficult! To possess six stars of Mana ant he was already considered an extrely excellent Mage!
Crown Prince Saint Julio himself looked at the Mana stars on his chest in disbelief. He had always thought that he wasn’t suitable Mage material, with his paltry two stars of Mana being shaful enough. But to his astonishnt, he now had six stars of Mana! This was all thanks to Miss Ailin!
This was nothing short of miraculous!
With an unprecedented amount of Mana filling his body, Saint Julio casually cast a few non-lethal spells. The spells’ speed, accuracy, and power were all greatly enhanced!
After Crown Prince Saint Julio set the example, everyone in the arena went mad.
Was there really such an easy thing in this world as increasing one’s strength just by noting down a formula? The opportunity was clearly right in front of them, and it would be far too foolish to waste it!
The desperate crowd, as if burning their very lives, frantically noted down the formula. Whether it was luck or sothing else, more and more people succeeded!
Suits of magical armor appeared, so gaining five stars of Mana, so six, and even so seven!
Everyone cheered and leaped for joy, celebrating their triumph. At the sa ti, they felt pity for the fools who had left this place.
It was at this ti that the formula slowly faded away. (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to Qidian (qidian) to cast your recomndation votes and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian to read.)
