Early in the morning, sunlight lit up the land.
Within a spacious laboratory, Chen Heng's figure stood.
He stood there by himself and casually waved his hand.
A speck of gold blossomed, shining with a resplendent golden light. It was divine and glorious, bringing with it a brilliant will as it surged forward.
In that moment, Chen Heng's magic power flowed out and condensed into a golden sword in front of him.
"I've finally succeeded …"
Looking at the golden sword, Chen Heng gave a slight smile.
The golden sword was condensed from his magic power, and it was similar to the magic skill that Yana had used before.
Before leaving, Yana had given Chen Heng her Sorcerer faction's legacy, which was stored in a golden Legacy Stone.
From that Legacy Stone, Chen Heng had obtained much useful information, including many magic skill templates.
This was a completely different path from the Hunter's House, and it belonged to the ancient Sorcerers' summoning magic system. It was just that it did not summon powerful lifeforms but powerful weapons of various forms.
Using magic power to condense into a fixed form was the specialty of this magic skill.
The power and profoundness contained within was quite special, and it was completely different from the magic skill system in the Hemu region.
After returning to the Hunter's House, Chen Heng had devoted himself to researching these magic skills.
Only after a long time had he successfully learned and truly grasped this magic skill.
It seemed that the effects were quite good.
Faint mental energy flowed out.
As Chen Heng's mental energy rippled out, the golden sword danced as it sped forwards.
Boom!
In front of him, when the golden longsword approached, a layer of invisible ripples appeared, accompanied by bursts of magical power.
At the crucial moment, the barrier that Chen Heng had set up appeared, forming a line of defense in front of the wooden figure.
This was the first line of defense that Chen Heng had set up for the wooden figure.
The wooden puppet in front of Lin Li was specially made. Not only was it made of special materials that made it exceptionally sturdy, but it was also covered with a layer of magic iron armor that had magic resistance.
Adding on the barrier that he had set up, just in terms of defense, it was incredibly powerful.
Even a Third Rank Apprentice would find it incredibly difficult to break through the wooden figure's defenses.
This was the test that Chen Heng had prepared for this magic skill.
Under his gaze, the golden sword made of magical power rushed forward and stabbed forward fiercely.
Bang!
Following a light bang, the Spirit Formation that had been set up beforehand was instantly pierced through, revealing the Demon Iron Armor behind it.
Just like the Spirit Formation Technique, the Demonic Iron Armor was also specially made. Not only was it made from demonic materials, but it was also inscribed with sufficient runes, causing its defensive power to become even more terrifying.
To a certain extent, this was a high-level magic artifact with strong magic resistance.
The golden sword in front of him continued to advance, colliding with the Magic Iron Armor and producing a terrifying sound.
It was only after a long while that the magic power fluctuation in front of him gradually disappeared.
Chen Heng raised his head and slowly walked over to the wooden armor.
"The armor has been pierced."
Looking at the wooden figure, after examining it, Chen Heng could not help but nod.
In front of him, there was already a hole in the black Magic Iron Armor. There was a clear gap in it.
It was obvious that even the special Magic Iron Armor was unable to withstand the attack just now.
The power of the Summon Golden Sword magic skill was enough to pierce through the Magic Iron Armor and injure the wooden figure beneath it.
If it was in actual combat, it would be equivalent to directly injuring the opponent's body, and it could truly cause damage to the enemy.
Of course, with the protection of the Demonic Iron Armor and the Spirit World Spirit Formation, the damage caused by the Demonic Iron Armor was not very high.
Even though the wooden figure had suffered some damage, it was not very serious and only had some cracks.
If it was used on a real person, it would at most cause some light injuries and would not be able to heavily injure the opponent.
Of course, this was excluding some special circumstances.
If it was aimed at the eyes or the heart, the results would be different.
However, in a real battle, it would be very difficult to achieve such precise control.
After all, in an intense battle, mental control would be affected by other people's mental energy, and the opponent would often move. Being able to hit the target was already very good.
As for anything else, there was no way to guarantee it.
"The penetration is very strong; there is some room for improvement …"
Looking at the wooden figure, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he earnestly recorded it down before turning to continue with the test.
After the magic skill, it was time to test his magic power.
During this period of time, apart from researching magic skills, Chen Heng did not neglect his Meditation.
As for the Moon God Worship that he had obtained from the Moon Elf Royal Tomb, Chen Heng had also been researching it.
After researching this high-grade Meditation Technique that only the Moon Elf royal family had the right to cultivate, Chen Heng had received much enlightenment.
According to what Yana had said, Moon God Worship was a high-grade Meditation Technique that belonged to the Elf royal family, and it was almost impossible for non-Elves to cultivate it.
In actuality, the situation was just as Yana had said.
During this period of time, Chen Heng had tried to cultivate Moon God Worship, and he had felt that it was quite difficult.
The true understanding was secondary. It was the incompatibility between the body and the meditation technique that made the effect very poor.
From what Chen Heng could see, the same Moon God Worship Meditation Technique would have the best effects if it was given to a pure-blooded Moon Elf royal family member.
However, if it was an ordinary Elf, they would only have 10% to 20% of the effects of a pure-blooded Moon Elf.
As for a pure-blooded human like Chen Heng, the effects would be even worse, and it would be quite good if he could even have some effects.
Even so, the Meditation effects of Moon God Worship were quite good compared to the Meditation Techniques that Chen Heng had learned in the past.
This was an advantage.
Moreover, it was not as if there was no room for improvement.
Recently, apart from cultivating magic skills, Chen Heng had also started to improve the Moon God Worship Meditation Technique.
Using his knowledge as a foundation, as well as his experience as a True Lord, he started to modify the Moon God Worship Meditation Technique into a version that was suitable for humans to cultivate.
This was incredibly difficult, and it would be almost impossible for an ordinary person to succeed.
Fortunately, Chen Heng did not lack time, and his requirements were not too high either.
He did not want to completely modify the Moon God Worship Meditation Technique; he just wanted it to be a bit better.
He did not want humans to have the same effects as Elves; as long as the effects were better, that would be enough.
It seemed that this was still possible.
Standing there, Chen Heng silently put away his things before walking out.
In the outside world, many Apprentices were walking around, all of them looking quite worried. Many of them looked quite serious and nervous.
It seemed that the battle in the northwest had affected this region and affected the people in this region.
"I heard that a lot of apprentices have left recently …"
Standing by the side and looking at the Apprentices running about, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he muttered to himself.
Because of the recent battles, many Apprentices felt that the Academies were no longer safe, so they all applied to return to their hometowns to avoid the battles in the Hemu region.
Just like Chen Heng, many of the Apprentices in the Hunter's House came from other regions and were not from the Hemu region.
Now that a war had broken out, their first reaction was to leave this region and return to their respective hometowns.
After this matter was over and the Hemu region became peaceful again, they would return here.
Chen Heng knew what these people were thinking.
After all, even he had thought about this after hearing about the Sorcerer war in the northwest, let alone the ordinary Apprentices.
Compared to Chen Heng, these ordinary Apprentices did not have a teacher who was a true Sorcerer, nor were they geniuses protected by the Academy. They did not have enough wealth or resources, so they could not compare to Chen Heng in many aspects.
When Chen Heng had heard about the upcoming battle, he had instinctively wanted to discuss it, let alone these ordinary Apprentices.
Sorcerers were all rational people, and very few of them would act rashly in the face of danger.
Most people wanted to avoid danger and return after the situation calmed down.
However, Chen Heng did not have such thoughts for now.
As a true Sorcerer, compared to ordinary Apprentices, he had a better understanding of the situation.
With Charlie and the others as his sources of information, he knew that the battle in the northwest had not reached here yet, so there was no need for him to leave for now.
Moreover, as a genius of the academy, even if the war really affected this place, he would still be the one to be protected.
This was completely different from other Apprentices.
Because of this, Chen Heng's reaction was different from other Apprentices, and he did not have any thoughts of leaving for now.
Looking at the serious or nervous Apprentices walking around, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head before turning and leaving this place.
After leaving this place, he went to the square and traded some things there.
The more chaotic the situation, the easier it was for some things to fluctuate.
In this tense atmosphere, in order to obtain what they wanted, many Apprentices chose to sell things that they did not have any use for magic stones or things that they could use quickly.
Some raw materials, such as enchanted metals and magical plants, became very cheap.
As for magic items and potions that could be used directly to increase one's battle strength, their prices quickly rose.
Under these circumstances, Chen Heng had gained quite a bit of advantage.
He had only used half of the magic stones he normally used to buy many materials.
On the other hand, the value of the magic items he had continued to rise, and they had more than doubled in value.
As he went back and forth, the number of Magic Stones he had on hand increased significantly.
Of course, as Chen Heng's magic items became more and more popular, Chen Heng's classes also decreased.
Because many Apprentices had left the Academy, the number of Apprentices going to Chen Heng's classes had greatly decreased.
However, at this point, compared to the magic stones from selling magic items, the magic stones from tutoring Apprentices were not much at all.
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to win over the hearts of the Academy's Apprentices and give them a good impression, Chen Heng would have stopped these classes long ago.
As such, the number of Apprentices going to tutoring Chen Heng was not that special to Chen Heng.
After standing in the square for a while and looking at the number of Apprentices, Chen Heng did not stay for long and left.
Time gradually passed.
Before he knew it, another two months had passed.
During these two months, news about the war in the northwest once again spread.
Large amounts of information about the war spread in this region, bringing with it shocking news.
After a while, the war between Mogow Academy and the other academies had once again escalated.
It was said that more than one true Sorcerer had fallen.
When this news spread, it caused people's hairs to stand on end.
The large number of acolytes who escaped from that area brought about an even more widespread panic.
Under these circumstances, many Apprentices were escaping from the Hunter's House.
During this period of time, the Sorcerer organizations responsible for long-distance travel were most likely very busy.
In the past, not many Sorcerers would leave the Hemu region, and only Apprentices would come here to study.
This time, because of the war, it was the opposite.
Chen Heng did not care about this. No matter what the people around him did, he calmly stayed in the Academy and did his own experiments.
No matter how chaotic the outside world was, as a Sorcerer Academy with many true Sorcerers, the Hunter's House would not be easily attacked or dragged into battle.
Being in the Hunter's House, Chen Heng was undoubtedly safe.
As such, Chen Heng did not plan to leave for now.
It was just that as time passed, something happened that forced him to stop his research and change his mind.
"What happened to my grandpa?"
Within a quiet and spacious room, Chen Heng looked at the person in front of him and frowned.
In front of him, there was a tall and slightly chubby middle-aged man kneeling there, telling Chen Heng some things.
Chen Heng had some impression of this person.
He was a member of the Doyle family and was related to Chen Heng by blood, and they were quite close.
In the past, he had been one of Griffin's assistants and often stayed by his side.
As such, as the future successor of the Doyle family and Griffin's grandson, Chen Heng was naturally very familiar with him.
It was just that this senior that Chen Heng was very familiar with had brought him some bad news.
Something had happened to Griffin.
"Y-yes."
Meeting Chen Heng's gaze, the middle-aged man's expression was respectful as he said seriously, "Master Griffin's body has some problems, and he is currently resting …"
As Chen Heng looked on, he spoke softly and slowly told Chen Heng what had happened to Griffin.
Only after hearing what he said did Chen Heng understand what had happened to Griffin.
Indeed, something had happened to Griffin, but it was not because of an enemy or anything else.
In actuality, in the Doyle family's Continent, Griffin was one of the most powerful people.
As long as he attacked others.
It was not too realistic for others to attack him.
The reason why something had happened to him was not because of an external force but because of his own body.
Griffin's main path was negative energy.
In the past, in order to better verify his results and increase his strength, he had modified his body many times and performed many surgeries on himself in order to extend his lifespan as much as possible.
Sorcerers' lifespans were also limited.
Even though Sorcerers had longer lifespans than mortals, under normal circumstances, a Third Rank Apprentice's lifespan would only be a few decades longer than a mortal's.
Of course, this was under normal circumstances.
If he were to use some unusual methods, he could try to extend this time.
Griffin's method was one of them.
Through changing his body and performing surgeries on his body, he could extend his lifespan to a certain extent.
It was just that this method was incredibly harmful to one's body, and if one was not careful, it could lead to problems with one's body.
This was why something had happened to Griffin.
"So it's like that …"
After understanding what had happened, Chen Heng sank into his thoughts.
In the Continent that Chen Heng came from, even though the Doyle family was powerful, their main force was Griffin, a Third Rank Apprentice.
Now that something had happened to Griffin, the Doyle family could not help but feel some ripples. Perhaps there would be some unexpected events.
From this perspective, Chen Heng needed to go back and show that he was a true Sorcerer student in order to help the Doyle family get through this and prevent other families from taking advantage of them.
From a sentimental perspective, Griffin had sent people over because he hoped that Chen Heng could go back.
The Doyle family's people were quite cold and cruel to outsiders. It was quite common for them to use people as research materials.
However, to be honest, Griffin was very good to Chen Heng, the future successor of the Doyle family. Not only had he taught Chen Heng since he was young, but he had also paid for Chen Heng's tuition fees and the magic stones he needed for his daily expenses.
Even though he did not lack the magic stones from the Doyle Family a long time ago, he did not need them anymore.
But in the end, this was his attitude.
Moreover, in the end, the Doyle family was a Sorcerer family, and they were a force to be reckoned with.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng thought for a moment before nodding and making his decision.
"Alright."
He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said softly, "I will return after a while."
