Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

Chapter 1026 Top Rank

Just like before, Emery once again returned to the Hyperion planet by going through the space station.

As Klea and Magus Shena were with him this time around, the group had to go through a mandatory security check, alongside some standard registration procedure for both of the two newcomers before they were allowed to enter the planet.

The group entered the round metallic construct that shuttled across the rail, transporting them down the long bridge at breakneck speed.

Emery was staring at the planet below him from above, while thinking about the best way to spend his last 4 months in the Magus Academy. Countless thoughts and ideas crossed in his mind.

Given what the upcoming future had in store for him, he would naturally have to make the most of his time here to increase his strength as much as possible.

A few minutes later, the construct the group were in finally arrived at the Hyperion center. This time the magus guide, Ramona, was already formally waiting for him with a smile when Emery stepped out of the construct.

As Emery actually came without prior announcement, the magus must have rushed coming here when he was checking in the station above. It was such a contrasting treatment to when they first met 7 months ago.

"Welcome back to Hyperion center. Is there anything I can do for you?" The female magus welcomed him with a wide smile.

She then saw Emery's two companions behind him and welcomed the two politely as well. Emery could clearly see that Magus Ramona was especially surprised when she saw Magus Shena was following them.

As usual, to satisfy his curiosity, the first thing Emery did after arriving was checking his strength at the testing chamber. Right as he entered, an interface appeared in front of his eyes, and he quickly chose one of the things written within.

[Physical Test]

Compared to the last time he was here, Emery had improved and gained 12 points of battle power. It wasn't a big difference, but that was not his only improvement. This time, he had managed to get one big upgrade.

[Immortal Gate - stage 6]

[Battle power increased by 64]

Not only that, he had 70 battle power from [Night Transformation] and 15 points from [Battle Howl], granting him a staggering total of 399 battle power with all of them activated. Thanks to the skills, it was much easier for him to clear the test.

[You have cleared all 10 levels of the physical test]

[Your physical score is undefined - Rank 5]

Unfortunately, even with that, Emery still got the same rank by default who actually cleared all 10 levels first among them. Hence, he would never know whether he was a match in terms of battle power compared to the other 4 above him.

"Way to go, Emery!" Klea cheered passionately from afar, as she watched Emery crush all the incoming projectiles with simple strikes.

[Spirit Test]

Even though Emery had managed to ace the physical test, the mental test was a whole different matter altogether. The last time he tested, he was still only a rank 8 acolyte with a 1,000 spirit force limit. This time, however, Emery had successfully broken through to rank 9, and he has 500 more points of spirit force with 10 pillars formed.

With that, all of the first 10 levels suddenly became much simpler to pass through. As he did the test with little to no pressure.

[You have cleared all 10 levels of the mental test]

[Your mental score is undefined - Rank 7]

[Calculating your new ranking from physical and mental score…]

[Congratulations! Your final test rank is 5th]

"Yes, you did great, Emery!" Klea cheered again. With her bright smile, she looked way more ecstatic than Emery did when he saw his own score. Facing her rather enthusiastic cheers, Emery could only shyly smile.

Magus Ramona was also speechless when she saw the new ranking. Her eyes widened. Under her breath, she muttered, "That rank 5, it's because the test was unable to measure both his mental and physical strength, this means he could have an even higher rank… Gosh! This is amazing!"

Without even breaking a sweat, Emery walked out of the tube. Then, he read the data on his stats carefully.

[Emery Ambrose]

[Previleged acolyte member ID: 83192008]

[Average stat comparison]

[Battle power: 250 (399) SSS]

[Strength: 218 (390)]

[Agility: 259 (382)]

[Endurance: 273 (425)]

[Spirit force: 1526 - SS]

[Spirit Power: SS]

[Spirit Control: S]

[Spirit Pool: SSS]

[Acolyte Rank 9 - Mid Stage - 10 pillars formed]

[Earth Spirit - 2 pilar]

[Plant Spirit - 1 pillar]

[Water Spirit - 1 pillar]

[Light Spirit - 1 pillar]

[Darkness spirit - 4 pillars]

[Undefined spirit - 1 pillar]

After double-checking his own stats, Emery couldn't help but glance at the rankings projected on the nearby screen. His eyes automatically darted to the top 10 rankers listed on top.

[Olivier Arkland - Rank 1]

[Maninder Nieves - Rank 2]

[Eeshoo Nephilim - Rank 3]

[Zach Talon - Rank 4]

[Shatter Cross- Rank 5]

[Anzi Tamasi - Rank 6]

[Jai Strider- Rank 7]

[Tyler Haze - Rank 8]

[Emery Ambrose - Rank 9]

[Arcana - Rank 10]

It appeared that just like before, Arcana was strong enough to hold all the other privileged acolytes from entering the ranks of the top 10. In other words, the ranking was secured firmly in the past two months.

As his gaze looked up and down etching the names written into his mind, he couldn't wait for the time to finally fight them all. Emery felt scorching heat rise from his heart as the urge to fight threatened to burst from within. These people must have an extraordinary specialty that could help him get stronger, a milestone he needs to reach before his graduation.

8 in 4 months' time, hopefully, that will be sufficient time for him.

Emery couldn't help to think what kind of figure both Olivier and Maninder were, being stronger than Zach and Eesso. He quickly heaved a sigh and calmed himself even if he can't win against them, at least he needs to give them a try. But for now,

"Tyler Haze… you will be next."

Before leaving the center, Emery went and collected his two monthly rewards, receiving a total of 70 [Spirit Foundation Pill]. After that, he headed towards where all the spirit caves were located.

"We are heading to your home, aren't we?" Klea asked with a cheeky smile. The hidden yet undisguised meaning of her words was clear.

"Yes, we are," Emery answered.

Hearing the affirmative answer, the Egyptian girl smiled gleefully as she quickly followed behind Emery's orbiter.
