Chapter 1623: Chapter 1616: Threefold Happiness Knocks at the Door

Huayu Die seemed to be truly enjoying his strokes, constantly shaking her head, her ears twinkling, making her appear very lively.

As a descendant of the Qingqiu Clan, she had a pair of large ears since birth, which looked incredibly adorable.

Of course, the Beast Head Tribe mostly conforms to aesthetic ideals, generally growing up steeped in cuteness.

Even Fei Yu, who is already the mother of four children, still radiates the unique vivacity of the Qingqiu lineage.

The other two children also clung to Tangmo and Baiyue, but both girls seemed to really like these two kids, laughing with gleeful smiles.

"To put it simply," Cheng Ziang, holding Huayu Die, looked towards Huayu Ting and Fei Yu, and spoke seriously, "For us, members of the Demon Clan can also engage in cultivation. However, they need to practice it our way. If these three children are confirmed to have the aptitude for cultivation, then we will certainly spare no effort to help them grow."

"Husband..." Fei Yu looked up at Huayu Ting with some concern.

"Trust in them," Huayu Ting patted her hand, comforting her.

"Well, let’s give a simple demonstration," Cheng Ziang said, then turned to Baiyue and gave her a meaningful glance.

Noticing Cheng Ziang’s cue, Baiyue set down the child and, after a brief arrangement, removed her hood to reveal her long, drooping ears.

"This, this is..." Seeing her features different from the usual Demon Clan, Fei Yu was quite astonished.

"She is a descendant of the Laurel Family, also a member of the Demon Clan. Next, let her demonstrate her abilities," Cheng Ziang said, stepping back a few steps with the child in his arms.

Tangmo grabbed the clothes of the two kids and pulled them back to clear an area.

After preparing, Baiyue pulled out her Magic Wand, began to silently recite Spells, and guided the Magic in the air to converge.

She would not release any destructive magic; merely showing Magic gathering was her aim.

This type of Magic, as long as it is well-controlled, generally won’t cause any problems, and it has an impressive visual effect, making it a common demonstration technique for Mages.

Unlike Tangmo, Baiyue preferred silent incantations, rather than chanting.

Of course, whether Magic can be guided or not is not much related to the volume of the spell recitation, but rather depends on personal aptitude. Even if Tangmo recited Spells silently, her performance would still be more powerful than Baiyue’s.

As Baiyue continued her guidance, Magic in the air began to converge rapidly. The absorption of Magic produces Magical Fluctuations, so Cheng Ziang and Tangmo quickly felt extremely intense Magical Fluctuations.

As the Magic guidance continued, Huayu Ting also began to lose his smile, instinctively protecting his wife. As a Cultivator, he too faintly sensed the fluctuations of Magic.

Perceiving Magical Fluctuations is not a particularly difficult skill, and can even be said to be the basics for entering the realm of Magic.

Some people are even born with the ability to sense Magical Fluctuations, only they are not aware that it is Magic they are sensing.

For this reason, it’s entirely normal for Huayu Ting to be able to perceive Magical Fluctuations, because the release of Magic also generates Magical Fluctuations, albeit comparatively mild.

It should be said that the purpose of Magical Fluctuation training is to train Mages to keenly sense the most subtle Magic Fluctuations, to better gauge and respond to the situation at hand.

After guiding for more than thirty seconds, the surrounding Magic under Baiyue’s lead began to form a vortex, continuously compressing the incoming Magic to produce visually apparent liquid Magic.

Huayu Ting frowned without saying a word, his expression solemn as he stared at the Magic Cluster. Seeing his reaction, Cheng Ziang proactively began to explain.

"This is the form of Qi inside a Cultivator’s body. Qi is born of all things; Cultivators inhale it into their Qitian, whereas we gather and release it. Therefore, we do not need a Qitian to guide and utilize Qi," Cheng Ziang patiently explained on the side.

"I see..." Huayu Ting nodded in understanding.

His gaze shifted from the Magic Cluster to Baiyue’s fluffy ears, and for a moment, his eyes narrowed, his heart inexplicably stirring with excitement.

If Baiyue can achieve such an effect, does this mean that his own children could also reach this level?

The Huayu Ting has gone all in; he has identified Fei Yu as his wife and will not take another. Therefore, his children will inevitably be of the Demon Clan, which is the sacrifice he made for this.

However, for Huayu Ting, this may not be a sacrifice.

Baiyue’s magical guidance lasted for just over a minute. The convergence of magic did not reach the threshold, so when she interrupted the guidance, the magic did not cascade down like a waterfall but instead transformed back into a gaseous state, evaporating and dissipating into the surroundings.

After completing everything, Baiyue let out a sigh and closed her eyes wearily.

To outsiders, she merely seemed to be muttering to herself. But to those in the know, she had just endured an intense influx of magic, and feeling exhausted was only natural.

"Young Lord, how do you feel?" Cheng Ziang asked Huayu Ting contentedly.

"Can my children achieve such an effect?" Huayu Ting asked, feigning composure.

As a cultivator himself, he was well aware that if his children could achieve this effect, there would be virtually no worry of them being bullied.

Because just from perception alone, the power of the magic run by Baiyue was nothing less than that of a full-force release by a master in the Jiedan Realm, or even stronger. If they could reach such an effect, they would be considered significant figures in Kyushu.

"We’ll need to conduct the tests that follow," said Cheng Ziang.

"Then let’s get started right away," Huayu Ting was already somewhat impatient.

"So, let’s begin," Cheng Ziang said as he put down Huayu Die and signaled to Baiyue and Tangmo with his eyes.

To test magical aptitude, the simplest method is to teach them a spell for guiding the convergence of magic, allowing them to chant and guide.

Within a certain timeframe, people with different aptitudes can guide different amounts of magic, which then can be used to determine everyone’s level of magical aptitude.

This is just one of many testing methods; it cannot be considered bad, but it is also not authoritative.

There are many ways to test for magical aptitude. For example, the Advance Team conducts gene analysis on Earth using supercomputers to calculate and analyze, ultimately determining each person’s level of magical aptitude.

The Advance Team’s method of testing uses minimal magic guidance, so the physical burden it imposes is also very low, making it suitable for all age groups to be tested.

And most importantly, this is one of the few types of magic guidance that can be performed without relying on a medium.

Under Cheng Ziang’s arrangement, Tangmo’s Baiyue finally managed to soothe the lively children and began teaching them the spells for guiding magic, starting the guidance attempts.

Huayu Ting and Fei Yu watched their every move nervously, hoping for a satisfying result.

After more than half an hour of fussing, the three children finally managed to grasp the spells, and then began to chant and guide with the help of the two teachers.

Huayu Die was the first to show results; it seems that girls from the Demon Clan have a higher affinity for magic than boys do.

Tangmo seriously observed her performance and then took data-based records for analysis and calculation.

After over an hour of intermittent testing, the two teachers finally gave their assessment: all three children have the aptitude to become mages.

Among them, Huayu Die performed the best; her magical aptitude reached at least the level of fourth-grade magic, followed by Huayu Yang with an aptitude between third and fourth grade. The least apt was Huayu Luo, whose magical aptitude was between second and third grade.

Although Tangmo and Baiyue had a general impression of the results, they were still shocked by the three children’s magical aptitudes.

Because it’s not a common phenomenon for all three children to have magical aptitudes.

You should know that in the Western Continent, some magical nobility families might have ten children and not a single one with magical aptitude.

Without the boost from an Elf lineage, whether one has magical aptitude or not really depends on luck. Some are born magical prodigies, while others are simply unable to learn magic.
