Perhaps it was because this was the first time that the Sorcerers Guild branch in the kingdom was responsible for the examination, but before the examination began, the Lampari Kingdom Sorcerers Guild held a small ceremony.
During the ceremony, not only did they read the Sines Sorcerers Guild's decision on this change, they also read out the specific rules of the examination.
From President Palmes Eren's reading, Xu Yi heard a noteworthy issue.
Because not every country in the Sines had a Great Magus, the Sorcerers Guild reassigned the countries that didn't have a Great Magus. The Great Magi of these countries who wanted to participate in the examination would be sent to the nearest country with a Great Magus to take the examination.
Because the Principality of Constantine didn't have a Great Magus, and because the Principality of Constantine was the closest to the Lampari Kingdom, the Principality of Constantine and two other small duchies bordering the Lampari Kingdom were given to the Lampari Kingdom.
Hearing President Eren's announcement, Xu Yi couldn't help but size up the various Great Magi participating in the examination. He wanted to find the Great Magi from the Principality of Constantine who had come to participate in the examination.
However, the Great Magi all looked the same, and Xu Yi had no way of distinguishing them based on their appearance.
At the end of the ceremony, President Eren introduced the other four Great Magi to everyone, and told everyone that today they would have the honor of taking the examination of all five Great Magi in the Lampari Kingdom.
"This is a rare honor!
Because from next year onwards, the Guild will only request one Great Magus to supervise the examination, so you won't have the opportunity to display your strength in front of all five Great Magi.
You must seize this opportunity and properly display your talent and ability, understood? "President Eren asked loudly.
The Great Magi all shouted excitedly in unison, "Understood!"
Xu Yi was a little frightened by their passion and excitement, because in his opinion, great magicians were not that rare.
Therefore, he couldn't understand. To other magicians, Great Magicians were their goals and targets of worship. To be able to show off in front of five Great Magicians at the same time was indeed a rare honor.
After the ceremony ended, President Eren did not waste any time and immediately announced the start of the test.
In short, the High Grade Magician exam was just like Great Magician Camilla said before. The process and content of the exam were no different from the Low Grade Magician exam.
In the beginning, they were also given a written test to test their theoretical knowledge of magic.
This was naturally not difficult for Xu Yi.
What was difficult and what Great Magician Camilla was worried about was the high grade magic demonstration after the written test.
Seeing the magicians in front of him display their high grade magic, Xu Yi was a little uncertain.
Although the method he thought of to replace high grade magic was quite good and had obtained Great Magician Camilla's approval, it wasn't a true high grade magic. Perhaps the other four Great Magicians would find out and he wouldn't be able to obtain their approval.
Very quickly, the magicians in front of Xu Yi finished their demonstrations and it was Xu Yi's turn.
Great Magician Camilla looked at Xu Yi with a trace of questioning in his eyes.
Xu Yi suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and nodded at Great Magician Camilla with a confident smile on his face.
Great Magician Camilla finally relaxed and gave Xu Yi an encouraging smile.
Great Magician Eisenkel of course wasn't worried. He was just like the other three Great Magicians, curiously looking at Xu Yi.
In the circle of magicians in the Lampari Kingdom, Xu Yi was already quite famous.
Apart from the fact that he had passed the level-5 mage examination the previous year, what made him even more well-known to most mages was the magic machinery that he had researched.
Before Xu Yi, magicians didn't pay much attention to the application of magic. But after Xu Yi researched the magic machines, magicians found that magic could be used with machines.
The most important thing was that the magic machines made so much money!
After many magicians found out about the New Flyer and the magic machines, they all felt regret in their hearts.
If they could think of using magic like this and invent magic machines before Xu Yi, wouldn't they be able to earn a lot of money?
Magicians were the same as normal people, they loved money. They even loved money more than normal people because as long as they had enough money, they could buy enough magic materials and experiment as they wished.
So in reality, the growth of every magician was supported by large amounts of money.
But when many magicians threw themselves into the research of magic machines, they found that magic machines weren't that easy to research.
There were countless companies that researched magic machines in the Lampari Kingdom, but without the support of the New Flyer, there wasn't a single company that could produce a magic machine that could compare to the New Flyer.
So the magicians of the Lampari Kingdom were even more curious about Xu Yi.
How did this guy come up with those magic machines?
President Eren's thoughts were different from the others. He was thinking about Xu Yi's special visit to him last year about the magic patent bill.
After a year of discussion, the Sorcerers Guild had basically passed this bill.
But there were some details that the Sorcerers Guild hadn't reached a consensus on.
For example, the issue of collecting patent fees. Many magicians said that they shouldn't collect it, but another group of magicians said that they had to collect it and they had to collect it in large amounts.
President Eren supported the idea of collecting patent fees, and according to his understanding of the decision-makers of the Sorcerers Guild, the final rule would definitely be to collect it.
But as for how much to collect … That would need to be discussed.
President Eren looked at Xu Yi, who was the initiator of this bill, and thought about how Xu Yi said last year that the New Flyer could pay a high fee for magic patents. So how "high" was this so-called "high"?
So when the five great magicians saw Xu Yi go on stage, they all fell into a short silence because of their own thoughts.
This strange situation immediately made Xu Yi, who had already received the attention of other magicians, more attention.
The other magicians saw that the five great magicians were all staring at Xu Yi and couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.
This Xu Yi not only relied on magic machines to open the New Flyer and earn that much money, he was also valued by five Great Magicians. He really was lucky.
After a bit of silence, President Eren finally reacted from the soft reminder of the staff member on the side. With a soft cough, he had Xu Yi begin his high level magic demonstration.
Xu Yi gave a bow to the five great magicians and then said to the staff member of the Sorcerers Guild in charge of the exam, "I specialize in wind magic, so I'll be demonstrating a high level wind magic spell, lightning magic."
The staff member was a Ninth Grade Magician and nodded when he heard this, "Alright, please begin."
After saying this, he moved back a bit and activated the magic barrier around the exam room, leaving a large space for Xu Yi.
Under everyone's complicated gazes, Xu Yi slightly raised his hands and the magic in his body began to quickly flow.
Other than Great Magician Camilla, the other four Great Magicians and the magicians with the strongest magic power all knit their brows.
Although lightning magic was an advanced form of wind magic, wind magic and lightning magic were two different things. When using lightning magic, a magician would use their magic to move the surrounding lightning magic to form a spell.
But with Xu Yi's magic moving, the surrounding space began to change with wind magic, but the lightning magic didn't change at all.
Other than that, even if it was Wind Elemental Magic, there was only a small amount being used right now. Not to mention comparing it to a high level Lightning Spell, even if it was just Wind Elemental Magic, the spell Xu Yi was using shouldn't be a high level spell.
However, after a while, the powerful magicians who could clearly feel the surrounding magic elements all had their expressions change.
This was because they suddenly felt that the lightning magic elements around Xu Yi's body had suddenly become active.
However, this activity wasn't as regular as when it was being controlled by magic. It was like it wasn't being controlled and was running all over the place.
Great Magician Eisenkel couldn't help knitting his brows as he said to Great Magician Camilla in a low voice, "It can't be that he hasn't properly grasped lightning magic, right?
If it's like this, I suggest we have him stop first.
Otherwise, if he continues like this, there might be a problem because he can't control the lightning magic elements. "
Great Magician Camilla shook his head, "It's fine, this is a new type of lightning magic he developed himself. It's a bit special, but it isn't dangerous."
"New type of lightning magic?"
Hearing Great Magician Camilla's reply, Great Magician Eisenkel and the other three Great Magicians listening to their conversation were stunned.
"He can actually develop a new type of lightning magic himself?" President Eren couldn't help asking.
"Could it be that his magic talent is really that strong?"
Great Magician Camilla had a strange expression on his face. After pausing for a bit, he reluctantly nodded, "Un, his talent has always shocked me."
Seeing that Great Magician Camilla actually confirmed this answer, everyone looked at Xu Yi again with eyes filled with shock.
The fact that this guy was able to advance from a fifth-tier magician to a seventh-tier magician in a year was already shocking enough. Now, he was even able to develop a new type of lightning magic. This only showed that his magical talent could not even be described as shocking.
In front of everyone, Xu Yi seemed to have finished the preparations for this spell. Everyone suddenly found that in the giant space of the test site, all the lightning magic elements suddenly began to wildly flow.
At this moment, even the other magic casters standing outside the magic barrier felt the change in space, and their expressions changed drastically.
Based on the intensity of the lightning magic fluctuations, what Xu Yi was about to demonstrate would be a very shocking lightning magic!
When this thought appeared in everyone's mind, there were countless beautiful bolts of lightning that appeared around Xu Yi, instantly filling the entire test site with a deathly white light.
