Tuten floated out of the Pot of Equal Value.
The current Tuten appeared even more robust than before, resembling an Aladdin from another world.
“I didn’t expect you to gather the souls of three grand knights so quickly.” “According to the Principle of Equal Exchange, I will give you the Meditation
Tuten looked serious, a complete transformation from his usual demeanor. At this moment, he seemed like a true artifact spirit.
Levi remained on high alert. If Tuten pulled any tricks, he would destroy him instantly.
The opportunity to learn Meditation Art would still come later. Safety was the top priority.
Soon, a colorless, transparent, diamond-shaped crystal floated out of the Pot of Equal Value and appeared before Levi.
“Before learning the Meditation Art, you should first use this Heart of Aether to test your potential as a wizard,” Tuten said.
“Wizard potential? Do wizards also require qualifications?” Levi asked with a furrowed brow.
“Of course, just as knights need a bloodline for their breathing techniques, wizards also require innate qualifications. However, in your case, being a descendant of the four great families, it’s unlikely that you lack the potential for wizardry,” Tuten explained.
Levi wasn’t so sure. He wasn’t a descendant of the four great families. He had relied on proficiency panel training to hone his skills.
Thus, there was a real possibility that he might not have the aptitude to be a wizard.
Levi felt unprecedentedly tense.
“If I lack the qualifications for wizardry, then I’ll just stick to being a knight. I’ll continue improving, and maybe I can find a way to train using the proficiency panel,” he thought.
“How do I test for wizard potential?” Levi asked, trying not to scare himself.
“Simply hold the Heart of Aether in your hand and concentrate on sensing the power contained within,” Tuten instructed.
Levi grasped the Heart of Aether in his palm.
He closed his eyes and entered a state of trance.
At this moment, he seemed to have entered a chaotic world.
The sky was filled with endless gales, and the ground was desolate. Between the mountains flowed lava, while monstrous tsunamis roared across the sea…
Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water!
In the myths and legends of this world, these were the original forms of everything, the supreme will!
All things were shaped by Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, and the gods represented these elements.
Tuten gazed at the Heart of Aether in Levi’s palm.
Suddenly, the Heart of Aether emitted four colors of light, which were crimson, yellow, blue, and black.
Seeing this, Tuten shook his head discreetly and sighed softly.
“It’s a pity. Although you possess the aptitude of a wizard, it is rather common. In this lifetime, you might only become a wizard’s apprentice, and it’ll be challenging to reach the level of a full-fledged wizard.”
Despite Tuten’s disappointment, he concealed it well.
Levi observed the Heart of Aether, radiating its four-colored light.
“What do you mean? Do I have the potential to become a wizard?” Levi inquired with a furrowed brow.
“The good news is, yes, you do have the potential. The bad news is that your talent is quite ordinary. Nevertheless, it still surpasses that of most mortals in this world,” Tuten reassured.
“As long as I have the potential, that’s enough.” Levi breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of the level of talent, he had the proficiency panel to rely on.
“The power of Aether, which we often talk about, is detached from the world. It primarily manifests in four basic forms, corresponding to the elements of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. New manifestations can arise through different combinations and evolutions of these four elements, such as thunder, ice, light, and more.”
“No matter what, everything ultimately stems from the same source, Earth,
Fire, Wind, and Water are the origins of all things and the beginning of life.”
“In the eyes of a wizard, whether you are a God or a human, the root of your existence can be traced back to Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. Wizard aptitude determines whether you have an innate affinity for these elements. This allows you to make quicker progress in cultivating the Meditation Art and aids in comprehending the mysteries when constructing the corresponding spell models.”
“Generally speaking, the aptitude of a wizard with a single affinity is much higher than that of a wizard with multiple affinities. Being attuned to all four elements of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water is considered to have the lowest potential. Trying to master everything at once is like trying to chew on too much at once. In wizardry, you can think of affinity as a pre-existing cake, a fixed amount that cannot be changed. If you have a single affinity, your affinity with that element is complete, it’s like having a whole cake. However, if you have two affinities, your talent will be divided into two halves, and if you have all four affinities, each will be reduced to a quarter.”
“But there’s no need to be discouraged, as the vast majority of ordinary people in this world are lost without any wizard aptitude. Among those who have the potential, less than one percent have the talent of a single-element affinity.”
“In the wizarding world, geniuses with a single affinity are referred to as Children of the Elements, while ordinary people with four affinities are known as Children of Chaos.”
“To be honest, I am also a Child of Chaos.”
Levi was not at all disheartened.
“I want to learn and master as much as I can. Using learning as an excuse is for mediocre people. With the proficiency panel, having a single affinity would be a waste. I want to have multiple affinities, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. I want to master them all! ” Levi exclaimed, his excitement mounting.
After hearing this, Levi was not discouraged at all.
On the contrary, he was extremely excited.
He was determined to become an all-rounded warrior.
Having multiple affinities was just perfect for him. He would pursue the path of the 6A panel to the end!
