The Primordial Record novel Chapter 491

Chapter 491 Lava Blade

There were more than three hundred Acolytes ranging from Rank 1-3 standing before a raised dais about four feet tall in front of all of them.

Andar's appearance caused quite a stir for his Cloud Whale stopped two hundred feet in the air and he jumped from that height. He pointed his palms down a gust of wind erupted from below him in such a perfect proportion to his weight that he stood in mid-air.

With jacket billowing around him he made steps of air that led to the ground as he descended like a black spirit. When he stepped his foot on the ground, the entire testing site was enveloped in silence as different looks were reflected in the eyes of everyone here.

From envy to resolve to intense admiration akin to fanaticism from the Limit Breakers, everyone was silenced by his arrival, and Andar settled at his workstation waiting for the test to begin, he nodded towards the Acolytes he recognized and to the Mages who were conducting the tests.

None of them were above the Third Rank as a Mage, and many of them had been serving as teachers and mentors for hundreds of years. Andar was known as the treasure of the Black Tower and they all did what they could to accommodate him.

The head of the test coordinator whispered to Andar and it sounded as if he was speaking beside him, "We have heard of your pursuits, and we shall give whatever assistance you need to succeed."

Andar acknowledged their helpful sentiments with another nod, he knew they were all hoping to board his boat when he arose in the future, and his every action had slowly encouraged most of them that he was deserving of such accolades. It should be known that even Mira, the person acknowledged to be the second most talented Acolyte after Andar, was still a Rank 1 Acolyte!

Even though Andar spent nearly a month inside the Endless Vault without receiving any outside assistance, he became a Rank 3 Acolyte, this speed was not just unprecedented it was ridiculous, especially when it became clear that the Meditation Art he was practicing was the famed Endless Vault, something lauded for its difficulty.

With Andar's arrival, the test began. Each test was random and could either test the theoretical knowledge of the Acolytes or a practical test to test their grasp over arranging formation.

However, this current test was a bit different, as it combined both, which was the first time this has happened on an Introductory test, because it was usually one or the other, not both at the same time.

Andar assigned this change as a result of his actions, someone must be trying to humble him or find his limits. He would be making sure to be disappointing them today.

The top of the dais slid open and revealed three sheets of Soft Steel, a primary material for carving Formations. Beside it was a large book and a pen. The book contained a thousand questions.
