Chapter 368: Chapter 368 Quarterly Examination
‘Hand of the Undying Priest’ (The name is displayed in purple text)
Quality: Unique
?Body part quality tiers from low to high:
Grey (Crude) ? White (Common) ? Green (Quality) ? Blue (Rare) ? Purple (Unique) ? Pink (Epic) ? Gold (Legendary) ? Dark Gold (Imperial) ?
Load requirement: 80 points.
Basic attributes:
‘Strength: E-‘
‘Nervous Reflex: C+’
‘Hardness: A-‘
‘Resistance: D-‘
‘Magic Control: A’
Common Traits:
‘Yellow Sand’ – Endows the individual with the [Black Magic System – Sand] (This ability needs to be improved through self-cultivation, gradually unlocking advanced sand powers).
Examples of system abilities:
? Sandification – Can cause molecular-level structural changes to produce massive amounts of crystalline sand, whether by direct touch or to inorganic matter.
? Armor of Sand – Constructs a dense yellow sand barrier to block any form of damage. The effect is even better when used together with ‘Scarab Beetle’ (The barrier can also block magic and soul damage by encoding formations in the yellow sand).
? Sandstorm – Consumes a large amount of energy to create a desert storm that could tear everything apart.
In addition, the arm carries a ‘sand body’ trait that allows it to regenerate through sand particles as long as the arm is not completely rooted out.
[Unique Trait]
‘Power of Undying Priest LV.1’ – Integrates the ‘will of the Undying Priest,’ enhancing the affinity to ‘black magic class.’ Meanwhile, there’s a chance to shorten or even waives the casting time when the individual releases black magic.
(This effect can be increased as the arm is perfected.)
Note: The arm is taken from the not fully restored [Undying Priest – Imhotep (Second Phase)], thus, this arm can potentially be further improved.
Regular flesh food can’t satisfy it, a part of ancient Egyptian relics, ancient hearts, or high-order black magic life bodies can meet the needs of this arm.
Slogan: Sands-of-the-desert, rise-and-block-off-the-sun.
……
“Wow!!”
Han Dong could not help exclaiming when he finished reading the description on the paper.
It fully meets all the requirements Han Dong had.
The quality is the same as the Clown’s Arm, which is unique purple.
The required load value is 10 points more than the Clown’s Arm… but it is still within the limit of 100 points.
Most importantly, the [Unique Trait] that this arm carries is very powerful.
Just the phrase about enhancing individual affinity to the [Black Magic Class], Han Dong thinks the 8000 coppers are well-spent.
“Magic Control value is A, through a complete set of [Sand] magic system! Imbued with the will of the Undying Priest… It also has growth potential, oh my God!”
Han Dong can’t wait to integrate such an arm into his body.
While being excited.
Han Dong, who had calmed down, still asked the artificial intelligence equipped in the laboratory.
“Will integrating this arm be dangerous for me?”
“Detected that the individual has a magic constitution, the load value is suitable… The lingering intentions of the High Priest during the detection process are removed, there is no danger.”
“Hmm… has it been removed already?”
“Any factors that are meaningless, useless, and pose a potential threat will be automatically removed by the laboratory …”
With the cutting tool in the laboratory, Han Dong easily cut off his relatively fragile left arm completely.
The plague colony in his body cooperated with the G-virus effect to stop the bleeding quickly.
As the residual consciousness in the ‘Hand of the Undying Priest’ has been completely cleared, Han Dong is no longer affected by sandification when he grabbed the arm with his right hand.
He matched the end closely with his arm.
As he approached, from the cut on Han Dong’s left shoulder, tentacles with spots actively grew to ‘welcome’ this mummy arm.
Creaking sounds are heard.
The tentacles serve as a significant intermediary for the connection.
“Arm connection in progress, load limit changed: 280/300”
……
The next day.
[Library]
At the behest of Vice President Hera, Han Dong will undergo a one-month learning examination.
Han Dong arrived promptly at the third library room at 09:00 in the morning.
Dumps was naturally present.
“Coincidentally… Today, all second-year students of the library will take their quarterly examinations at the [Magic Hub]. I have added your name, come with me.”
“Quarterly Examinations?”
As an apprentice of Mysticism, Han Dong had never experienced any form of examination.
In the Mysterious Department, learning simply involves following their respective tutors, doing whatever they wish, with no systematic teaching or examination process.
Of course, the witch apprentices in the Dead Water Marsh do have more detailed learning and testing standards.
Dumps was present too.
The two followed Vice President Hera out of the Library building and headed towards the special area to the south – the [Magic Hub]
As the name suggests, this place is a hub for magic.
The library’s various rooms provide students with a quiet place to read.
While the Magic Hub provides students with a venue for practical magic training.
The [Magic Hub] is essentially a massive stake spiralling into the sky, each floor of the trunk, corresponding to different training space portals.
There are significant differences in the magic element concentration in different spaces, and some spaces even have ‘Elemental Giants’ for magic apprentices to practice real combat training.
Hera led the two of them across a somewhat high branch into the portal.
The interior of the cubic space for practice was pure white, with different elemental points floating around.
Releasing magic here would reduce magic consumption to some extent.
Currently, over a hundred magic apprentices gathered here with many responsible tutors also present.
The person in charge of this quarterly examination was Vice President Hera.
“Vice President!”
Upon Hera leading two students in, all bowed their heads in respect.
“…Dumps.”
Many students immediately noticed the guy with a unique vibe following Hera, the English-style gentleman.
Dumps’ name has gradually become well-known in the past year, everyone in the library knows him.
Many girls are also fans of Dumps, however, it appears that Dumps is only interested in older women.
“Who is that guy?”
“I’ve never seen him before…”
Some students also noticed the unfamiliar young man following Hera, a guy of average height with a thin and somewhat yellow body – such ‘weak’ physique is even weaker compared to general mages.
“Today’s examination will consist of two phases.
Firstly, I will create a high-level training puppet in the arena, which you will need to attack or heal in turn with your best magic… the puppet will absorb your magic to determine if you have reached the basic standard.
Secondly, apprentices who have reached the basic standard will in turn put on ‘Magical Cloaks’ for large-scale melee.
If the ‘Magical Cloak’ is broken, the match is lost.
The other teachers and I will score your performance as the final result of this examination.
Do not cast spells after the ‘Magical Cloak’ is broken, or severe measures will be taken.”
