Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2816: 575: Arcane Throne, Gargamel Legendary!
"Name."
"Vicken Yu."
"Yu? Tell me, kid, are you a member of the Jade Qilin family?"
"I am. My mother is the Yu Feng Knight, Sai Fa."
"I see... very well. Let us evaluate your talent first, and then we will assign you to an academy."
The crystal ball began to pulse with light, revealing a talent anomaly that mirrored the Children of Chaos. Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water swirled together in a confusing mess that left the observer reeling.
"Oh... could I have made an error?"
The young woman conducting the test was visibly shaken.
A Child of Chaos?
That had to be a joke, considering he was a descendant of the Jade Qilin family.Excluding this boy's grandfather, his parents, his aunt, and even his cousins were all Children of the Elements. At the very least, they possessed double affinities or special talents. On the Ancient Dragon Continent, they were recognized as the premier family serving directly under the Hall Master and his wife.
In comparison, Vicken appearing as a Child of Chaos seemed truly mediocre.
"Is something wrong? Are Children of Chaos not allowed to enroll?"
Vic appeared somewhat anxious; he was well aware that his talent was nothing extraordinary.
"No, you can. Just hold on a moment, I want to attempt this with a more modern testing device."
The young witch returned carrying a different crystal ball.
This was the Arcane Heart, a talent diagnostic tool specifically engineered for Arcanists by the Caster’s Association, which had only just arrived. In the past, the Arcane Academy had relied on standard Wizard benchmarks for testing, despite the inherent differences between the two paths.
This time, the light within the crystal ball erupted violently.
The young woman’s eyes went wide, and her jaw dropped in shock.
At the core of the crystal, the four anomalies of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water surged upward. Floating above them in the void was a throne of pure white, topped with a shimmering golden crown. A unique talent of this nature was completely unprecedented.
"Wait, please excuse me... I don't quite understand this. I must fetch the dean."
She rushed off immediately to locate the dean.
Before long, an Elder with white hair, exuding the powerful aura of the eighth-circle, arrived in haste. Upon witnessing the vision within the crystal ball, his eyes trembled as he whispered:
"This... this is an Arcane Talent mentioned only in ancient scrolls. I had always dismissed it as myth, yet it actually exists."
"Dean, what sort of talent are we looking at?"
"The Arcane Throne."
"Is it truly that powerful?"
"According to historical archives, only one individual has ever possessed this talent; he was the very architect of our Arcane civilization... the Arcane Emperor Osserrel!"
"What?!"
Everyone present was instantly struck with disbelief.
Osserrel was the founding father of the Otharian Empire.
Legend says he was the mortal who came closest to achieving godhood.
Tragically, historical records state that the Arcane Emperor met his end during the research of a tenth-circle Arcane spell, resulting in his death and total disappearance.
Not long after, the Otharian Empire was devastated by the terror bug calamity. It was wiped out in a heartbeat, eventually receding underground to slowly evolve into the Bug Luminist civilization.
Vicken grew even more uneasy.
What were these people whispering about with such religious fervor?
He was naturally familiar with the Arcane Emperor; it was his admiration for the man’s legends that drove him to apply to the Arcane Academy to seek a more difficult path.
The real question was, was this special talent actually strong?
In truth, he had been prepared to strive for greatness even with a Child of Chaos talent on "hell difficulty."
But now, it seemed the difficulty level had dropped significantly.
Suddenly, several figures arrived on the scene.
The now-married and stunning Sai Fa appeared alongside her husband, a brilliant wizard from the Tower of Dawn and a Child of the Elements with a seven-ring Cultivation.
Levi also made an appearance.
Upon observing Vicken’s talent, Levi’s eyes glimmered. He immediately summoned Leon back from the Mother River, sending a message:
"Investigate Vicken’s previous incarnations for me."
"Understood, master."
Meanwhile.
Sai Fa felt a surge of excitement as she listened to the dean's explanation.
Actually, she hadn't expected much from Vicken. Shortly after his birth, his talent had been gauged as that of a lackluster Child of Chaos. Even though the era had changed, offering Truth Oddities to alter one's fate and more potent elemental Qi, things were difficult.
With such a poor starting talent, pouring massive amounts of wealth, time, and Qi into Wizard Cultivation was possible, but highly inefficient. Had Vicken lacked a Knight bloodline and been forced into the Wizard path, they might have tried it. But since he carried the Mythical Bloodline of the Jade Qilin, there was no reason to ignore such a direct path to power.
However, as liberal parents, they hadn't blocked Vicken's desire to enter the Arcane Academy.
She had assumed he would eventually give up on his own. Now, by some stroke of luck, he had manifested a top-tier Arcane Talent.
This had to be nurtured; he could become the greatest Arcanist of this age. The influence of the Jade Qilin family would reach new heights!
Even the Hall Master, who had been in deep seclusion for years, was alerted—a sign of how significant this was!
Levi looked at the flustered young boy and asked a question.
"Did you find anything, Leon?"
"Yes. He was a dog."
"How far back can you trace a soul's history?"
"Master, at my current level, I can peer back through ten thousand lifetimes."
"Never mind that. See if you can find the reincarnation of Osserrel."
"I will try."
Levi had never bothered to look for the Arcane Emperor's reincarnation before.
It wasn't laziness; he simply felt that rebirths had nothing to do with one's past self once the cycle reset. He had no desire to invade the privacy of reincarnated souls.
After a long silence, Leon wiped sweat from his brow and spoke:
"Master, I have found it. There is indeed a link between Osserrel and Vicken. Vicken is his reincarnation, exactly 9,527 lives later..."
"Why were there so many reincarnations?"
