Chen Heng's process of becoming a Third Rank Apprentice was much simpler than that of others.
Long ago, during the two years he had been in the Hunter's House, he had been very close to becoming a Third Rank Apprentice.
After returning to his hometown, apart from experimenting, Chen Heng had not given up on his Meditation for the past two years.
As such, he had successfully become a true Third Rank Apprentice over a year ago.
From how Chen Heng saw it, this was very normal.
With his past experience as a True Lord and his outstanding conditions, it would be strange if he did not have this speed.
In actuality, even this speed was something that he had intentionally suppressed.
Back in the Hunter's House, if it wasn't for the fact that he was worried about becoming a Third Rank Apprentice too quickly and did not focus on Meditation, he would have been able to become a Third Rank Apprentice.
However, after returning to his hometown, he did not have to worry about this anymore, so he was able to become a Third Rank Apprentice very quickly.
However, it was clear that this speed was still a little too exciting for Griffin, so much so that he could not react for a long time.
"Very good."
Only after a while did he come back to his senses. Looking at Chen Heng, a look of delight appeared on his face, "Looks like our Doyle family will finally have a true Sorcerer in this generation."
Becoming a true Sorcerer was Griffin's lifelong dream.
Chen Heng had been by Griffin's side since he was young, and his goal was to become a true Sorcerer.
From Chen Heng's current performance, it seemed that he could finally achieve this goal.
"With your age, you still have ten or so years to slowly accumulate the power to become a true Sorcerer."
Looking at Chen Heng, Griffin's face was filled with anticipation, "You have Level 4 talent, so you have more than a 50% chance of becoming a true Sorcerer. Adding on the amount of time you have, you have at least a 70% chance of becoming a true Sorcerer."
His face was filled with excitement as he said this.
Hearing this, Chen Heng could not help but frown, "Just a 70% chance?"
Perhaps in the eyes of an experienced acolyte like Griffin, a 70% chance of success was already considered very high.
However, Chen Heng felt that a 70% chance was not too safe.
With his conditions, he had to have a 90% chance to become a true Sorcerer.
However, there was no need for Chen Heng to say this in front of Griffin.
So, he nodded and didn't say anything else.
On the other hand, Griffin was still in a state of excitement as he lay on the bed.
Looking at his current state, Chen Heng observed him.
After two years of hard work, under the nourishment of the Moon God's power, Griffin's mental state had basically stabilized.
Moreover, under the effects of the Moon God's power, his body had undergone a baptism and had undergone a transformation.
From the looks of it, the situation was not bad.
However, it was obvious that even so, Griffin did not have much lifespan left.
After all, according to a normal person's age, Griffin should have been in a coffin long ago.
Although the lifespan of a Sorcerer was longer than that of an ordinary person, it was not much longer.
After all, Griffin was only a Third Rank Apprentice and not a true Sorcerer.
The reason why he was able to survive until now was because he had repeatedly modified his body to extend his lifespan.
Chen Heng had seen many similar modifications in the Hunter's House in the past.
In actuality, such modifications were quite common for Sorcerers. No matter if it was to increase their power or to increase their lifespan, it was quite normal.
It was just that with Griffin's current state, it was impossible for him to go through any more modifications.
With his current state, if he went through any more modifications, it was likely that he would die during the process.
If he did not go through any modifications, he most likely would not have many years left.
Unless he could become a true Sorcerer in the remaining time he had left.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng could not help but shake his head.
If he wanted to become a true Sorcerer and obtain a new life, he might as well try to modify his body.
At the very least, there was a chance of success.
With Griffin's current state, if he tried to become a true Sorcerer, he would be committing suicide.
As the student of a true Sorcerer like Charlie and the junior of a Third Rank Apprentice like Griffin, he was incredibly clear about the process of becoming a true Sorcerer.
Under normal circumstances, if one wanted to become a true Sorcerer, they first had to have a powerful body.
This was because during the process of becoming a true Sorcerer, the Sorcerer had to burn their lifeforce in order to obtain the energy to ascend.
Following this, the Sorcerer's mind had to be tested, from the body to the mind.
In theory, only a Sorcerer with a powerful body and mind could successfully become a true Sorcerer.
This was recorded in both Charlie's teachings and Yana's Legacy Stone.
Griffin, on the other hand, undoubtedly had a great deal of problems, be it in terms of his spirit or his body.
If he tried to become a true Sorcerer, he would most likely die on the spot.
Rather than relying on this, it was better to try to modify his body.
After chatting with Griffin for a while, Chen Heng turned and left.
Griffin's awakening was incredibly beneficial to Chen Heng.
Even though he was about to reach the end of his lifespan, Griffin was still a Third Rank Apprentice.
With him here, Chen Heng would be able to explore other places and would not be limited to the Doyle family.
Moreover, with Griffin's help, Chen Heng would have an assistant for many of his experiments, and it would not be as strenuous as before.
These were all obvious benefits.
Time gradually passed.
Before he knew it, another two months had passed.
During this time, Griffin also officially revealed himself. He represented the Doyle family and went to another Sorcerer family's gathering.
At the gathering, he had a slight smile on his face. Even though he was quite old, no one dared to look down on him.
Just like that, the rumors that had arisen because he had not shown himself for two years were killed in the cradle.
During these two years, because Griffin had not shown himself, there had been many speculations.
Some people guessed that Griffin had already died in an experiment, and Chen Heng was the only Sorcerer left in the Doyle family.
However, Griffin's appearance this time had undoubtedly shattered this rumor, causing it to fall apart on its own.
Of course, at this point, even if Griffin appeared, the effect would not be as great.
During these two years, it was not as if Chen Heng had not done anything.
His skills in creating magic items were once again displayed on this continent.
Over these two years, through his magic items, he had won over many Sorcerer families and obtained many things.
Similarly, during these two years, Chen Heng had spread the news that he had become a Third Rank Apprentice.
With many magic items and being a Third Rank Apprentice, Chen Heng's strength was undoubtedly the strongest in this continent.
Just this alone made it so that no one dared to oppose Chen Heng.
Thanks to Chen Heng, the Doyle family had continuously expanded over these two years. Compared to before Griffin had fallen unconscious, they had become even stronger.
After all, the Doyle family not only had Chen Heng, a Third Rank Apprentice, but they also had four students.
After two years of teaching, Chen Heng's four students had all gathered magic energy and become Sorcerer Apprentices.
Including Chen Heng himself, not including Griffin, just the Doyle family had five Sorcerers.
This was the number one number in this continent.
Apart from the Doyle family, no other family had more Sorcerers than this.
With this sort of strength, no one dared to act against the Doyle family.
As such, whether or not Griffin woke up did not affect them too much.
However, despite this, the awakening of a Third Rank Apprentice was good news for the Doyle family.
At the very least, it would greatly expand the Doyle family's power.
As for everything else, it would not affect them too much.
Time gradually passed.
In the following period of time, Chen Heng did not do much. He only silently sat in his laboratory and did his best to Meditate, increasing his mental energy and magic energy.
His mental energy became more and more powerful, and even Griffin, a Third Rank Apprentice, could not compare to him.
"Your mental energy has most likely reached the standard for becoming a true Sorcerer."
Within the quiet laboratory, Griffin softly said as he observed Chen Heng's performance.
"Even though it has reached the standard, it's not safe yet."
Ahead, Chen Heng dispelled his magic skill and silently shook his head, "If I want to be more certain, I'll have to wait a bit longer."
Compared to ordinary Sorcerers, Chen Heng's mental energy was a big advantage.
Because of his past experiences, his mental energy was naturally powerful. Even before he had become a Sorcerer, his mental energy was already comparable to a Third Rank Apprentice's.
Now, after a few years of Meditating, Chen Heng's mental energy had become even more powerful, and it had long since reached the standard for becoming a true Sorcerer.
In actuality, apart from magic energy, Chen Heng was already very close to a true Sorcerer.
"If you want to become a true Sorcerer, apart from having enough lifeforce, mental energy and magic energy are also important requirements," Griffin said softly, looking quite envious.
On the side, Griffin said softly, his face full of envy, "Ed, you can meet all three of these requirements."
Compared to ordinary Sorcerers, Chen Heng's conditions were incredibly good.
He had been born with powerful mental energy, and the large amount of mental energy required to become a true Sorcerer was a massive barrier to others. However, it was not a problem for him.
With his powerful mental energy and Level 4 talent, it was not a problem for Chen Heng. As time went on, he would be able to become a true Sorcerer sooner or later.
As for lifeforce, that was not a problem at all.
Not only was Chen Heng a Sorcerer, but he was also a Knight who had activated his Life Seed.
Compared to ordinary Sorcerer Apprentices, his lifeforce was much more powerful.
Adding on his age, he was at the peak of a human's lifeforce.
With all of these conditions, he was incredibly good.
If ordinary Sorcerers had one of Chen Heng's conditions, they would have a chance to become a true Sorcerer.
However, Chen Heng had all of them.
From how Griffin saw it, Chen Heng's chances of becoming a true Sorcerer were incredibly high.
Apart from a few unexpected circumstances, he could not imagine how Chen Heng would fail.
"It's alright."
Looking at Griffin, Chen Heng smiled and said, "Even if I become a true Sorcerer, this is just the beginning; it is not much.
Moreover, I haven't even reached that step yet. "
Chen Heng said softly.
"That's right."
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Griffin nodded, feeling quite complicated.
"How are the preparations for the test going?"
Following this, Chen Heng asked as he looked at Griffin.
"We're already making preparations."
Griffin nodded, but his expression was quite unsightly, "Ed, are you really going to give those people the test for free?"
"It's not free."
Chen Heng shook his head, "As the price for the test, if they are tested to have Sorcerer talent, they must join us and become our people."
"Isn't that the same?"
Griffin shook his head, "No matter what, they're people from other families …"
"Those who are not from our Doyle family cannot be trusted."
"It's alright."
Looking at Griffin, Chen Heng smiled, "We don't need them to belong to us; we just need to make sure that we can order them around and use them.
It's just like the academy. "
Griffin's thoughts were evidently still stuck in his family, and he felt that apart from the Doyle family, there was no need to nurture or test people.
After all, if they were not from the Doyle family, even if they were nurtured, what good would that do?
They would still benefit others.
However, Chen Heng did not think so.
The cohesiveness of a family was very strong. In this era, especially among the Magi community, the concept of family was very important. Apart from a few exceptions, very few people would betray their own family.
However, if it was limited to within a family, the restrictions would be too great.
After all, no matter how prosperous a family was, the number of people and power it had was limited, and it could not compare to the masses outside.
If he wanted to obtain enough power, he had to unite all the forces outside of the family. He had to unite all the forces that could be united.
This was what was happening right now.
Chen Heng's experiments had reached a bottleneck, and if he wanted to progress, he needed other Sorcerers' help.
Just within the Doyle family, even after testing all of their clansmen, they had only found two people with Sorcerer talent.
Even with Griffin and Chen Heng, there were only four of them.
With just this number, it would be impossible for Chen Heng to complete his plan.
Therefore, it was necessary to open the examination to the public and obtain fresh blood from the outside world.
"Just like the academy …"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Griffin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ed, you … could it be …"
Standing there, his eyes suddenly lit up as if he thought of something, and even his voice became somewhat excited, "Could it be … that you want to establish your own academy?"
Establish his own academy?
Hearing Griffin's words, Chen Heng paused and felt quite surprised.
However, thinking about it, it did not seem too bad.
In order to achieve his goals, he had to recruit as many Apprentices as possible and obtain the support of more Sorcerers.
In order to gather all of these Sorcerers together, it seemed that it was necessary to establish a Sorcerer organization.
The Hunter's House Academy was already quite good.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng nodded and said, "That's not bad.
"If it's possible, why can't we form an organization of our own, or even an academy?"
Chen Heng said softly as he looked at Griffin.
"I understand."
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Griffin's expression became quite excited, "I understand what you mean, Ed.
Don't worry, I will carefully watch over the examination and make sure nothing goes wrong. "
Looking at the excited Griffin, Chen Heng felt quite surprised, but he still nodded.
No matter what, it was a good thing that Griffin was so motivated.
It was much better than having a gloomy expression and not being willing.
Time gradually passed.
In the following period of time, people from various families gathered in the Doyle family's territory.
The reason why they had gathered here was none other than the upcoming examination ceremony.
To the local Sorcerer families, this was a rare opportunity.
To Chen Heng, the examination ceremony was just that, but to the Sorcerers of this continent, the examination ceremony was not so simple.
It was easy to understand.
Before Chen Heng had returned, there had not even been many magic artifacts in this region, and there had been less than five Third Rank Apprentices.
As a Third Rank Apprentice who had returned from the Hunter's House, Griffin was now the most powerful person in this region.
From this information, Chen Heng could tell just how backward the Sorcerers of this continent were.
If the Sorcerer region that Yana came from was more advanced than the Hemu region, then compared to this region, the Hemu region was a generation more advanced.
To Chen Heng, setting up the talent examination Sorcerer Formation was not too difficult, but to ordinary Apprentices, it was incredibly difficult.
Finding a few acolytes proficient in spell formations in this area, as well as 50 magic crystals as a source of energy, was not an easy task.
