Sophia looked at Lin An. The shock in her eyes had disappeared, and all that was left was the thoughts of a wise man.
After a long time, Sophia asked Lin An, “Can you control the power of your magic?”
“No,” Lin An replied.
The power of Lin An’s Flame of the Godking completely depended on the amount of magic energy in his body.
After all, he had to completely drain all the magic energy in his body once he used it.
“That’s troublesome. If you participate in the National Magic Academy Competition, the first rule of the competition is that you are not allowed to kill your opponent,” Sophia said.
Indeed. This was just a competition, not a war.
If you killed your opponent during the competition, wouldn’t the Scott Kingdom lose a large number of talented sorcerer apprentices every year?
After hearing Sophia’s words, Lin An also understood.
He indeed had a huge problem.
Every competition, killing an enemy, what was there to compete about?
Lin An’s opponent would probably not dare to go on stage at that time.
However, Lin An had no other way. After all, he could not cast low-level spells and could only cast forbidden spells.
But which sorcerer apprentice could withstand the power of a forbidden spell?
“Then why don’t I… Not participate?” Lin An asked tentatively.
This competition wasn’t very important to Lin An.
Anyway, he had the Darkness Devour now. If he wanted to improve his strength, it would be very fast.
He didn’t need to win the competition and obtain resources.
“You’re not participating?” Sophia said helplessly, “Your participation quota has already been decided internally. The Hodtrotz Magic Academy has already announced your name and will participate as a seeded contestant of the Hodtrotz Magic Academy.”
When the other students heard Sophia’s words, they didn’t feel that it was unfair.
Although the academy would choose two spots from the lower-level classes, Lin An was such a terrifying fellow. Who would dare to compete with him?
Moreover, the students of the lower-level classes who were qualified to compete for spots were all here.
They had all seen Lin An insta-kill a rank-3 magical beast. No one dared to question Lin An’s strength.
“Let me think about it carefully.”
Sophia began to think on the spot.
Lin An was not an ordinary person. He could give an archmage such a headache.
After a long time, Sophia still couldn’t think of any good ideas. She could only say, “This is the only way for now. Next, you should work hard to learn how to control the strength of your magic. You can think of a way when you return to the academy.”
Control the strength of the spell…
Hearing this, Lin An had no way to refute and could only agree.
As for whether he could succeed, Lin An knew very well.
Basically, there was no such possibility.
…
In the following days.
Lin An was very relaxed. Every day, he would accompany the other students to fight magical beasts. It was very boring.
This was because Sophia had already stopped asking Lin An to fight magical beasts. After all, one spell was enough to solve it. It wouldn’t be of any use for him to gain experience at all.
This also made Lin An very uncomfortable.
If he had the time, he might as well go and devour a few more magical beasts. This way, he could still improve his own strength and not let himself waste time here.
However, Lin An could only think about this idea in his heart.
Half a month’s time passed very quickly.
Every student’s face revealed a look of exhaustion, even the very talented Susanna.
They had to fight against magical beasts every day. Even the adventurers who had been living in the magical beast forest all year round could not stand it.
That night, everyone set up their tents in the wild and prepared to rest for the night.
However, just as everyone was about to fall asleep, there were many noises coming from outside. When everyone thought nothing was wrong, Sophia sat up and said anxiously, “Everyone, get up and guard the surroundings.”
Sophia took the lead and walked out of the tent. Immediately, everyone felt a terrifying aura coming from outside the tent, making everyone feel a little depressed.
The people who did not understand the situation walked out of the tent and saw an extremely horrifying scene.
In the dark night, countless pairs of green eyes were looking at them, accompanied by waves of low roars.
Under the bright moonlight, one could clearly see that these magical beasts all had silver fur.
“Silver Wolf!”
Lin An’s hair stood on end.
Silver Wolf! The most terrifying magical beast in the magical beast forest.
The weakest Silver Wolf had the strength of a tier-3 magical beast. A normal Silver Wolf leader was a tier-4 existence, while the most terrifying Silver Wolf King was a tier-5 magical beast, equivalent to a human archmage.
Not only did the Silver Wolf have a powerful body, it could also release magic, giving many adventurers a headache.
The most terrifying thing was that the Silver Wolf was not only powerful, but it was also a pack magic beast.
At this moment, these Silver Wolves had surrounded them.
In front of them, Sophia said in a low voice, “Don’t wait. Follow me and escape this place. Don’t fall behind. You know very well the consequences of falling behind.”
At this moment, Sophia also erupted with the aura of an archmage, intimidating these Silver Wolves.
Otherwise, these Silver Wolves would have definitely charged forward and torn everyone apart.
However, this kind of intimidation would not last for long.
Among such a large number of Silver Wolves, there must be a Silver Wolf King.
And the Silver Wolf King was not much weaker than Sophia.
At this moment, Lin An was also very nervous. It was the first time he had seen so many powerful magical beasts. No one would be able to remain calm.
“I heard that there is a Silver Wolf pack in this Magical Beast Forest. We can’t possibly be so unlucky as to encounter them, right?” someone whispered.
This also made everyone very confused.
A magical beast like the Silver Wolf should live in the core area of the Magical Beast Forest, but this was the periphery of the Magical Beast Forest.
Unless something happened in the core area, Silver Wolves would not leave their territory.
In other words, something must have happened in the core area of the Magical Beast Forest, causing the Silver Wolf pack to escape.
But as for what happened, no one knew.
The most important thing now was how to get rid of the Silver Wolves’ attacks.
“Awooo!”
Just as Sophia was confronting the Silver Wolves, a wolf howl came from behind.
The surrounding Silver Wolves seemed to have received some kind of order and began to approach.
