Chapter 101: Surprise

Su Ye held the Black Iron Medal in his hand happily as he kept chanting in his heart.
“I want to have a photographic memory, I want to have endless energy, I want to be able to meditate multiple times, I want to have unlimited comprehension of everything, I want to have extraordinary wisdom, I want to be able to think deeply, I want to see the essence of elements, I want to be able to infer endlessly, I want to predict the future…”
After Su Ye finished reciting what he wanted in his heart, he placed the Black Iron Medal on the altar and opened his eyes wide.
The Black Iron Medal emitted dense white mist and was then sucked away by the altar.
The first circle emitted a blinding light, but it dimmed before it could emit the cone-shaped light.
Su Ye immediately recalled what happened last time he did this, and his face set into a look of disbelief.
“Could it be that this Black Iron Medal is worth more than 1,000 Gold Eagle Coins…”
The second circle lit up.
White light burst out, and four two-winged elves hugged was asleep in the white light, hugging their knees.
Fortunately, Su Ye was prepared, or else he would have lost his composure.
The first spirit was the Body of the Wind which he had seen before.
The second one was the Wind-hearing Ears. This was the first time he saw it, and it was very helpful to mages.
The third one was the Surge of Divine Power. It was said to be one of the most powerful Warrior Talents. Once used, it could cause unimaginable damage. This was the kind of Battle Talent Spirit that could make warriors fight for it with their lives.
However, in Su Ye’s eyes, the most beautiful thing was the fourth Talent Spirit. It was so beautiful that it looked like a painting, beautiful enough to brighten up the whole world. It was even more beautiful than Palos.
Magic Penetration.
Su Ye had never dreamed of being lucky enough to encounter such a Magic Talent.
Though it was not a talent for intelligence.
“Could it be related to the gaze of the Goddess of Victory or the Goddess of Wisdom?”
Whether it was a spell, magic equipment, divine power equipment, or a warrior’s divine power, it could resist or even be immune to magic to a certain extent.
However, Magic Penetration could penetrate a certain amount of defensive power, and could even weaken any degree of magic immunity.
For example, even if a Sage Warrior did not wear anything and just stand on the battlefield without moving, a hundred Black Iron Mages’ fireballs wouldn’t be able to hurt him at all.
However, a hundred fireballs with Magic Penetration could burn a Sage Warrior.
Magic Penetration was very famous because some mages had provided very rigorous proof. The Magic Penetration of a Silver Mage or a mage of higher-level was stronger than the Magic Surge, but it was slightly weaker than the Magic Explosion. However, the power of a higher level Magic Disintegration was far more powerful than the Magic Explosion.
It was also a Black Iron spell, so the magic armor could easily stop the fireball of the same rank.
However, with the fireball with Magic Penetration, part of the flame could penetrate the magic armor and hurt the opponent.
The most important thing was that the effect of the Magic Penetration under the category of magic talent and the Spell Penetration under the category of Superb Magic Ability could be superimposed.
“Is the Black Iron Medal hiding power that I don’t know about? Of course, it could also just be my luck!”
Su Ye smiled and reached out his hand, touching the Talent Spirit of Magic Penetration.
Just like before, after choosing a Talent Spirit, the other spirits immediately disappeared.
Only one Talent Spirit could be obtained at a time.
Su Ye put the Crow of Vigilance on the altar.
This time, just like last time, the second circle was lit up.
“As expected, it’s worth more than a thousand Gold Eagle Coins.”
Light burst out, and four Talent Spirits appeared.
One was an artistic talent, and two were talents for warriors.
The last one was a talent of fire that had appeared before, Combustion.
The function of Combustion was to enhance the power of all Spells of Fire and raise the temperature of the flames. Although the effect was not as great as the Extreme Heat talent, it was still a talent that fire mages desired.
Generally speaking, when a fire mage reached the Gold level, a talent of fire would rise in him, and Combustion was a relatively common one.
“My magic power is improving very quickly. After becoming a Black Iron Mage, I can use the Fireball spell. This talent is very useful to me.”
Su Ye chose Combustion, and the altar regained its peace.
Su Ye checked his assets.
“A magic dagger that could not be sacrificed. It belongs to Hark, will return it to him when there’s a chance.”
“A magic dagger. Senat’s. It has already been sacrificed. I’ll sell it when I have time, let’s see if the Gold Eagle Coins earned can be sacrificed.”
“A Black Iron Medal as a souvenir. It could be used to exchange for the first place in a subject.”
“A magic barrier ring. It has to be worn every day.”
“A Crow of Vigilance. It could be used in the future.”
“There were also more than 300 Gold Eagle Coins, I have spent some over the past few days. I have to give Nidern a hundred coins as a thank you gift for helping me find nobles and contact the school’s Chamber of Commerce.”
The money was quite little.
“It seems that the opening of the new restaurant has to be expedited. If I can’t earn enough money and increase my power before the Black Iron Trial, it will be very difficult for me to compete for the championship. The champion of the Black Iron Trial will not only be rewarded with a Black Iron Medal, but also a bronze magic weapon. There will also be all sorts of benefits. I don’t know if the Black Iron Trial this time will be carried out on the legendary Divine Power Plane. Rumour has it that the place was nourished by the remains, blood, or divine power of the gods, and there will be unexpected wonders. There are even talent spirits, powerful bloodlines, and special things.”
“As for the city-state tournament after that, I don’t want to be the champion. The city-state tournament has been held for hundreds of years. Every year, the champion can only be a person from the noble families, and the best outcome for a non-noble is the runner-up. There was once a non-noble who won the championship by accident and died suddenly before receiving the prize. In the end, the champion was still awarded to a noble. It did not only happen in Athens, all the city-state competitions in Greece were like this, including Sparta. Fortunately, there are several other national and even international competitions besides the city-state competitions. They have no such restrictions.”
“Is this world’s Games of the Olympiad battles between legendary warriors and heroes?”
Su Ye felt excited all of a sudden.
However, what Su Ye was looking forward to the most was the Mana Core Badge that he was about to get.
“Feynman Technique will definitely help me obtain a Mana Core Badge. If I can get a sage-level result, I will receive an additional Mana Core Badge. If I can obtain a legendary result in the future, I will receive two more.”
“If I become the youngest person to obtain a Mana Core Badge, I will receive an extra Mana Core Badge. I will skip being an honorary member of the Parliament and directly become an official member of the Parliament. At the same time, I will also be eligible to receive benefits such as an invitation letter from the Divine Power Plane. The youngest person to obtain a Mana Core Badge was Aristotle, who obtained it at the age of 18. I am now 16 years old, so I must get this Mana Core Badge and an invitation letter from the Divine Power Plane.”
“I need to summarize the memorization technique from before and ask Nidern to help me submit it. This time, no one will be stupid enough to report me. This memorization technique is definitely a gold-tier theory. At the very least, I will receive a Mana Core Badge.”
“The theory of the Cone of Learning is rather complicated. I might need a long time to be sure of it. Even so, I have to submit it as soon as possible. Then, one Mana Core Badge would be mine.”
“If nothing goes wrong, I will soon obtain four Mana Core Badges, or maybe even five.”
Su Ye’s heart swelled with passion. The value of a Mana Core Badge would not be lower than 10,000 Gold Eagle Coins. This was the selling price on the market, but the actual value was even higher.
“If I can sacrifice the Black Iron Medal, then I can definitely do so too with a Mana Core Badge. However, I don’t know what kind of Talent Spirit I will get. It must be very powerful, enough for me to improve my power. Moreover, the Mana Core Badge can also be exchanged for items from the Magic Assembly. Similarly, the profits will be many times more…”
