Over the past two years, Chen Heng had gone through great changes.
After entering the Hunter's House and becoming a student of a true Sorcerer like Charlie, Chen Heng had gained a great understanding of Sorcerers over the past two years.
The magic skills that Sorcerers often used were not secrets to him at all. Even though he did not have the corresponding magic skill templates, he had a rough understanding of these magic skills.
However, that golden arrow was undoubtedly a magic skill. However, it was not one that Chen Heng knew of, and it did not belong to any of the magic skills that he knew of.
In other words, this was a magic skill that was not recorded in the Hunter's House.
"Is it someone from another academy? Or … "
In that moment, many thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind.
Different academies researched different things, so the results would be different.
Therefore, generally speaking, an academy would have a few spells that were unique to their academy.
Apart from this, some Sorcerer families would have their own unique magic skills.
As such, after seeing that unique golden arrow, Chen Heng could not help but think to himself.
Beside him, Ordo strode forward.
His body was filled with magic power aura, and his magic power aura was very powerful.
Imperceptibly, magic power surged and condensed on the surface of his body, vaguely forming a brand new spell.
Elementary Defense.
The effect of this spell was similar to a Spirit Formation technique, but there was a corresponding difference. It could be superimposed with a Spirit Formation technique.
Ordo evidently realized that a barrier technique alone would not be able to stop that powerful golden arrow, so he added another layer of defense.
By the side, the others also started to move.
"Crap!"
Mike's voice sounded out.
He looked off into the distance, his face serious and somewhat unsightly.
Under his gaze, there was an intense magic reaction in the distance.
As expected, in the next moment, the golden arrow once again appeared and quickly shot over.
Boom!
The surrounding space seemed to be affected, gradually rippling as layers upon layers of ripples appeared.
Sensing all of this, Chen Heng inwardly frowned and silently stretched out his hand, touching the sword at his waist.
Although he didn't know what had happened, judging from the current situation, it would be difficult for him to settle this matter peacefully.
Thus, at this moment, he gripped the longsword that he was wearing and had already made up his mind to attack.
After two years, even though he had not become a Third Rank Apprentice, he had reached the peak of a Second Rank Apprentice and had grasped many magic skills.
Apart from the fact that his magic power was not as dense as that of a Third Rank Apprentice, he was no different from a Third Rank Apprentice in other aspects.
Adding on his strength as a Knight, he was not inferior to any Third Rank Apprentice.
At this moment, he could be considered a very strong force.
He stood there, silently observing his surroundings.
But in next to no time, a shocking scene occurred.
He discovered that even though the golden arrows were continuously falling, they seemed to be able to avoid him and instead flew towards Ordo and the others.
Apart from the two of them, the rest of the people accompanying them were not harmed at all. It was as if they could avoid it.
What was going on?
In that instant, Chen Heng realized that something was wrong and felt that something was different.
If it was just a simple ambush, why would he deliberately avoid them?
Just what was the other party's goal?
Various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind as he madly thought about what the other party's goal was.
Moreover, from how Chen Heng saw it, the other party's goal was quite strange.
From how things were going, there did not seem to be anything in Chen Heng's group that was worth the other party's attention.
Over the past two years, Chen Heng had stayed within the Hunter's House and rarely went out, so he did not have any enmity with others.
If it was just a simple revenge, it did not seem to make sense.
In that case, was it an attack from an opposing academy to kill him, a genius of the Hunter's House?
That was possible.
However, if that was the case, why were these people avoiding him?
It was not just him; even the ordinary people were avoiding him.
If this was purely out of pity, it would be too unprofessional.
Among Sorcerers, there were no merciful people.
At that moment, various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind.
These thoughts continuously flashed through his mind, but they were quickly overturned by him.
In front of him, the battle was still continuing.
In front of them, golden arrows flew over from the distance, continuously smashing towards Ordo and Michael's bodies.
Under these golden arrows, Ordo and Michael continuously retreated, barely able to defend.
What was strange was that the person behind the scenes seemed to have locked onto the two of them and continuously attacked them, wanting to take them down first.
It was not just Chen Heng who noticed this; everyone else also noticed this.
"Damn it!"
Michael casually waved his hand, blocking a golden arrow.
Magic power collided with magic power, giving off a brilliant light in the air.
Abnormal ripples spread out in the surroundings.
Under the effect of that powerful force, he couldn't help but step back. Then, his face turned ashen.
By now, he could tell that the situation was not good.
Even now, they did not even know who the other party was, and they could only passively defend.
If this went on, they would be exhausted to death.
After all, defensive magic skills expended much more magic power than ordinary magic skills.
If they continued to defend like this, after a while, they would run out of magic power.
Once they ran out of magic power, they would be in trouble.
Because of their magic power, Sorcerer Apprentices' bodies would gradually go through changes and become different from ordinary people.
Even if a Third Rank Apprentice did not use magic skills and just relied on their bodies, they would not be much weaker than Knights. In fact, they might even be stronger.
However, for Sorcerers, the best method was still magic skills.
This was especially so in front of them.
Once they ran out of magic power, they would not be able to stop the other party just by relying on their physical strength.
Thinking to there, Michael's expression became ashen as he madly thought of countermeasures.
However, before he could think clearly, a trembling sound could be heard from not too far away.
Sensing this sound, he raised his head and looked not too far away.
In that direction, in two parts of the dense forest, many figures shuttled back and forth, constantly appearing.
These figures were incredibly agile and did not seem like ordinary people. They were quite powerful, and they weaved through the forest.
One after another, arrows shot out from the dense forest. At a glance, they were densely packed and looked exceptionally terrifying.
"This is …"
By the side, Ordo felt a bad premonition.
Although the arrows in front of him were just ordinary arrows, there were simply too many of them.
Normally, this would not be too bad, but in a situation like this, it was quite unbearable.
Fortunately, at that moment, ripples spread out.
At the crucial moment, Chen Heng waved his hand, and a badge gave off waves of light.
Magic power shined out as a warm current flowed out of Chen Heng's body and into the badge in front of him, instantly activating the magic skill engraved on it.
Lesser Barrier Technique.
This was also a Lesser Barrier Technique, but compared to the one Ordo had used, the details were slightly different. However, the effects were roughly the same.
An invisible barrier appeared in an instant and blocked the arrows from the outside world.
"Thank goodness!"
Seeing this, Ordo and Mike could not help but heave sighs of relief.
No matter what, the worst-case scenario had not happened.
As Sorcerers of the Hunter's House, they knew Chen Heng's status and value in the academy.
To put it bluntly, if Chen Heng had been injured or even killed, the two of them would have had to face the fury of Charlie, a true Sorcerer.
When that time came, it would have been difficult to predict what would happen to them.
However, since Chen Heng was fine, they could not help but let out sighs of relief.
However, it was evident that it was too early for them to be happy.
Boom!
In the distance, a figure quickly rushed out of the forest. His speed was extremely fast.
Everyone, including Ordo and the others, only saw an afterimage rush over before their vision blurred.
Following a light bang, the two of them were knocked back. If it wasn't for the fact that they had magic skills set up on them, they would have been injured.
Light sounds continuously sounded out.
As Ordo and Ordo watched on, that person walked towards Chen Heng and arrived in front of him.
"Is he coming for me?"
Standing there, looking at the afterimage rushing over, Chen Heng thought to himself.
Compared to Ordo and Michael, he could just barely see that person's movements. Even though he could not see everything, he could roughly make out what was going on.
Thus, at this moment, he could clearly see that the person was charging towards him. One of the hands was already raised as if he was about to attack him.
However, that was all he could do.
The other party was simply too fast, and even though Chen Heng could see the other party's movements, his body could not react in time.
When the other party arrived in front of him, he could only raise the sword at his waist.
Following this, before he could do anything, his vision blurred and he lost all of his strength.
Waves of magic power enveloped the surroundings, spreading from the front to the top and bottom of his body.
In the blink of an eye, he lost all of his strength and fell into a fatigued state.
Without a doubt, in that instant, the other party had already cast a spell, causing him to lose his strength and be unable to continue resisting.
Bang!
An afterimage flashed by in front of him.
The surroundings gradually calmed down.
It was just that Chen Heng's figure had already disappeared.
"Damn it!"
By the side, Ordo and Michael's expressions were ashen as they stood where Chen Heng had been, not knowing what to say.
"A true Sorcerer!"
"It's definitely a true Sorcerer!"
Their expressions were calm as they recalled the scene from before. At this moment, they could not help but speak like this.
From how they saw it, to be able to easily suppress two Third Rank Apprentices and capture Chen Heng, that person was definitely a true Sorcerer.
If it was not a true Sorcerer and was just a Third Rank Apprentice, it would be impossible for him to do this.
"Just who is he? What is his goal? "
In that moment, they could not help but think to themselves.
But soon after, they couldn't help but look at each other, and a bitter smile appeared on their faces.
"There's nothing we can do. Let's go back and report this to the academy."
Ordo looked at Michael and bitterly smiled as he said, "I just hope that the academy has a way to find that person."
Now that things had come to this, they could not hide it anymore.
They could only go back and face the fury of the academy and Charlie.
Apart from this, they had no other choice.
.....
Within a vast forest, a figure quickly darted through the forest, looking incredibly fast.
The figure shuttled back and forth in the forest for a long time until he arrived at a lake. Only then did he slowly stop.
Under the faint sunlight, the figure's appearance could be seen.
It was a very beautiful young woman. She was tall and slim and wore a simple green robe, which accentuated her curves.
From her appearance, she didn't look very old, only about seventeen or eighteen years old. She looked to be in the prime of her life.
However, unlike ordinary people, the girl's long hair was a little silver, and her ears were a little sharp. She was a little different from ordinary people.
In the young woman's embrace was a young man.
"Alright, it's about time to stop."
A voice sounded out in the young woman's mind.
"Put him down."
The voice sounded out in her mind, sounding very gentle and making one think of the silver moon in the sky.
Hearing this voice, the young woman's expression was calm as she silently put down the young man.
After going through the battle, the young man's condition was not very good, and he was still unconscious.
Looking at the young man, the young woman said softly, "Teacher."
"Do you think this person can help us open the door?"
"I don't know."
The voice sounded out in her mind, sounding uncertain, "To open the door to the tomb, one must have very high attainments in magic tools and runes.
"We've been searching this area for a long time, and there are only a few people who might be able to do this."
"It's just that the most suitable candidates are all true Sorcerers, and it's impossible for us to make them obediently cooperate with us. As such, we can only find this child.
"Ed Doyle is the most outstanding genius in the Hunter's House, and he is said to be a future master in magic tools.
"It's said that this child's talent is something that even his teacher is amazed by. Perhaps he can help us."
The voice continued to sound out in her mind.
In actuality, there was nothing they could do about this.
From the start, their target was not Chen Heng but his teacher, Charlie, and some other people.
It was just that those people were all true Sorcerers and had great power.
Even though they were quite strong, it was too difficult to subdue a true Sorcerer and make him obediently work for them.
As such, they had been forced to set their target on Chen Heng, hoping to use him to achieve their goal.
As such, they had pretended to be wild Sorcerers and sold the location of the historical remnant to the Hunter's House. They had also spread the news that there might be magic tools within the historical remnant.
This was because they hoped to draw Chen Heng over, making it easier for them to act.
Currently, it seemed that everything had gone smoothly.
Just as they had expected, Chen Heng had come here with only two Third Rank Apprentices protecting him.
As such, they had been able to subdue him and bring him here.
"I hope everything goes well."
In front of him, the young woman sat by the side and looked at Chen Heng, who was still asleep, and she could not help but sigh.
Time gradually passed.
Only after a while did the magic skill's power gradually dissipate.
Only then did Chen Heng wake up.
Under the young woman's gaze, Chen Heng slowly opened his eyes.
Their gazes met, and their gazes intertwined.
"Who … are you?"
Chen Heng lay on the ground and looked at the young woman in front of him as he lightly sighed, "Why did you bring me here?"
By now, he had realized the situation in front of him.
The young girl in front of him was undoubtedly the one who had captured him and caused him to fall into such a state.
He had never thought that it would be a young woman.
Moreover, looking at her appearance …
As he lay there, he quickly noticed the girl's hair color and some other details, and he immediately understood.
"An Elf?"
Chen Heng thought to himself, but he quickly shook his head, "No, her bloodline doesn't seem to be pure."
Although the young girl before him had many of the characteristics of an elf, many of them weren't too obvious. They weren't as prominent as true elves, and people could tell at a glance that she was different.
This was most likely not a pure Elf but a Half-Elf who had combined Elf and human bloodlines.
Half-elves were a race formed from the combination of humans and elves. They were extremely rare and could be considered a rare species.
After coming to this world for so long, even though Chen Heng had read about them, this was the first time he had seen one.
"You're awake?"
Looking at Chen Heng, the Half-Elf young woman felt quite surprised, as if she had not expected Chen Heng to wake up so quickly.
"Your body is much stronger than I thought," she said.
Looking at Chen Heng's reaction, she said.
Chen Heng raised his head and did his best to move his body.
However, the magic skill's power still remained in his body, making it so that even though he had woken up, he could not control his body.
A feeling of extreme exhaustion appeared all over his body, causing him to frown involuntarily.
