What is ancient language magic?

Shi Liuli didn't understand what he was saying.

What she had just performed was merely a combination of ordinary magic, stacking three different levels of amplification magic arrays together to achieve the purpose of amplification.

Seeing Shi Liuli's puzzled expression, Ye Lai Xiang couldn't contain himself any longer--

"What you just used was ancient language magic! I've seen the runes on the edge of the magic array, and those are ancient characters!"

Ah, so that's what he meant!

"That's not ancient characters, it's the written language of the composite magic-creating race, the elves' script, which is Elvish."

Shi Liuli explained, but Ye Lai Xiang seemed to be provoked, his tone becoming agitated:

"Don't try to deceive me! I've seen Elvish, and it's not like that at all, that's ancient characters!"

Seeing Ye Lai Xiang getting increasingly agitated, almost catching up with the others, Cang Yu quickly reached out to stop him, "Boss, calm down!"

Ye Lai Xiang finally regained some sanity, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's discuss this later. Congratulations on passing the assessment."

Shi Liuli's eyes lit up, looking forward to what was to come.

"Based on your proficiency in casting magic, control abilities, and the level of your magic, you have at least the qualifications of a Grand Mage. I think Cang Yu would agree with me on this."

Cang Yu also nodded, indicating agreement.

"Therefore, I now, in my capacity as the President of the Mage Association, award you the 'Mage' certification badge."

Ye Lai Xiang reached out with his big hand, strangely, his hand seemed to pass through something in front of him, disappearing into thin air, causing ripples in the space.

After a short while, his hand retracted, and in his hand was a circular badge, less than half the size of a palm. It looked like silver, with six delicate silver stars engraved on it.

"Actually, based on your performance, you should be able to obtain a higher certification level. However, the certification for Archmages and Grand Archmages is not something that can be achieved through a simple assessment. It requires undergoing many complex tests."

Ye Lai Xiang handed the badge to Shi Liuli, then continued, "If you are confident, you can apply for the Archmage assessment in a while--"

"No need, this is enough for me. I'm not interested in pursuing higher levels," Shi Liuli interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.

Ye Lai Xiang was irritated by her indifferent attitude.

Realizing that she had been a bit rude, Shi Liuli quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I passed the Mage certification on my first attempt. How do you think it would look if I tried to advance so quickly?"

How would it look?

Ye Lai Xiang frowned, but then he realized something and showed a relieved expression.

That's right, Shi Liuli passed the Mage certification on her first attempt. To be honest, Ye Lai Xiang had broken the rules by making an exception. According to the rules, anyone, regardless of who they are, can only obtain the Advanced Mage certification on their first attempt, and then they can continue to advance step by step.

And Ye Lai Xiang had made this exception for his own selfish reasons. Otherwise, he wouldn't have recklessly broken the rules. If he tried to advance, it would undoubtedly attract attention from others. After all, even Archmages are extremely rare within the Mage Association, and they can be counted on one hand.

And this was obviously not something that could be made public.

Clearly, Shi Liuli had also realized this.

Upon discovering Shi Liuli looking at him with a smile, Ye Lai Xiang knew that she had seen through everything he was thinking, making him feel somewhat embarrassed.

"So, do you want the magic I just used?" Shi Liuli bluntly exposed him, not sparing his feelings.

And Ye Lai Xiang was fine with that, being more open might make the conversation easier.
