Time gradually passed.
Amidst peace, time passed quickly.
Before he knew it, another year had passed.
Within the quiet and spacious laboratory, Chen Heng's figure stood by himself.
Compared to a year ago, his appearance had changed a bit. His figure was much taller, and he gave off a unique aura that could not be concealed.
Chen Heng was about 20 years old now.
20 years old was when a person's life force was at its peak.
By now, Chen Heng's body had fully developed and reached its peak state.
His appearance had also stabilized, and if there were no accidents, it would not change much.
"I'm very close …"
Standing in the laboratory and looking at the scenes in front of him, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he muttered to himself.
Over the past year, as he continuously meditated, his magic power had grown and reached a new standard.
A Third Rank Apprentice's magic power was around 50 to 100 ku.
Only when one's magic power surpassed 100 ku would they reach the boundary of a Third Rank Apprentice and have the chance to become a true Sorcerer.
Chen Heng had already reached this standard.
The effects of Moon God Worship were better than what Chen Heng had expected. Using this high-grade Meditation Technique, the effects were much better than using ordinary Sorcerer techniques.
With this advantage, as well as Chen Heng's powerful foundation, he had reached this level.
Of course, during this process, Chen Heng's own efforts had been essential.
Otherwise, he would not have reached the limit so quickly.
Standing in the laboratory, Chen Heng sank into his thoughts.
He was thinking about his future path.
As a descender, his mental energy was naturally quite powerful, and he had long since reached the standard to become a true Sorcerer.
As for magic power, he had been lacking a lot, but now, he had made up for it.
As for his own talent, he had also reached the standard.
He had met all of the requirements to become a true Sorcerer.
However, if he wanted to become a true Sorcerer, he still needed some things.
For example, he needed potions for his disciples, as well as other things. Many of them were things that Apprentices needed to become true Sorcerers.
As a Level 4 Sorcerer, Chen Heng's foundation was good enough, but if he wanted to become a true Sorcerer, he needed some things.
However, it was evident that these things?
Chen Heng did not have any.
When he left the Hunter's House?
Charlie had given Chen Heng some things, but they did not include what he needed to level up.
What if he wanted to advance?
He still needed to gather all the items he needed.
At this point?
This was a big problem for Chen Heng.
Back when he had left the Hunter's House, he had not expected things to turn out like this.
When he left the academy?
He was only a 2nd Rank Apprentice, and he had never thought that the battle in the Hemu region would last for so long.
What Chen Heng had expected was that
When he was close to becoming an official Magus?
Just as he was about to ascend, the battle in the Hemu region would have already concluded.
But now, the situation was different.
Within the Hemu region, the battle continued.
Sorcerers are divided into several factions?
Battle within the Hemu region?
It destroyed the original order.
As such, some of the things that could be obtained from the Hunter's House could no longer be obtained from the Hunter's House.
In order to become an official Magus, apart from meeting the basic requirements, one also needed to have at least one real level 1 spell model?
And the corresponding golden potion.
Chen Heng did not lack magic spell models.
Let alone the ones from the Hunter's House, even the ones from Yana's Legacy Stone.
There were many records.
Those were magic spell models from another Sorcerer gathering place, and they were even more complete and unique than the ones from the Hunter's House.
What made Chen Heng unable to do anything?
It was the golden potion.
Golden potion?
This was a potion that could not be lacking when becoming a true Sorcerer.
This potion was incredibly precious.
Only a few experienced Alchemists could refine it.
Under normal circumstances, such precious potions were all in the hands of Sorcerer organisations and would not be sold.
Even if Chen Heng wanted to buy it with magic stones, he would not be able to.
This was the biggest problem for Chen Heng right now.
It was not that it was impossible to become a true Sorcerer without a golden potion; it was just that the success rate would be greatly reduced. It could directly reduce the success rate by 20%.
This was a huge impact, and even Chen Heng did not dare to take the risk.
With his current conditions, even if he did not have a golden potion, it would still be risky.
It would not be as safe as using a golden potion.
"Based on my deductions, I should be able to use more than one golden potion …"
Chen Heng sank into his thoughts, "With my current constitution, I should be able to use three at the same time.
Under these circumstances, my chances of becoming a true Sorcerer will be greatly increased. "
This thought flashed through his mind. At this moment, he was thinking like this.
The number of golden potions was not fixed.
Ordinarily speaking, the younger a Sorcerer was, the stronger their body, and the more life force they had, the more golden potions they could use.
The chances of successfully breaking through would also be higher.
With Chen Heng's current circumstances, even using three golden potions at the same time would not be a problem.
It was a pity that he would not be able to obtain even one golden potion, let alone three.
"During times of war, potions and magic items will rise in value. Things like golden potions will be controlled by the warring parties, and there will not be many left …"
Standing there, Chen Heng thought to himself, "Under these circumstances, even if I go to the Hemu region, it will be very difficult for me to obtain enough potions …
"Unless, I'm willing to join one of the forces and participate in this war …"
After thinking to himself, he quickly shook his head and dispelled this thought.
Even though he was on this continent, he knew about the Hemu region very well.
Over the past few years, the situation in the Hemu region had not improved at all. Instead, it had become even more intense.
From the start of the war until now, in the past five years, there had been official Sorcerers dying every year. They had died in battle just like that, showing how terrifying it was.
With Chen Heng's current strength, if he joined in, it would be incredibly dangerous.
If there was no other way, it would be fine.
However, with Chen Heng's current circumstances, there was no need for that.
He wanted to find golden potions in order to reduce the risks of becoming a Sorcerer.
In order to achieve this goal, he had to join the chaos. Not only would he not be able to obtain the golden potion, he would also have to face a higher risk.
This was something that he could not accept.
"Let's just wait …"
Thinking to there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head.
No matter what, he was only twenty years old, and he was at the peak of his life.
Compared to other Sorcerers, he was still very young and could wait.
He had time to wait for things to settle down.
"However, I still need to try …"
Standing in the laboratory, Chen Heng thought to himself as he busied himself.
He wanted to return to the Hunter's House and take a look.
Before the Hunter's House had been sealed, there had been some Apprentices stationed there.
Through these Apprentices, perhaps he would be able to find out where Charlie was or when the Hunter's House would recover.
In order to confirm these things, Chen Heng decided to find an opportunity to personally go back.
Time gradually passed.
Half a month later, after taking care of most of the matters at hand, Chen Heng set out on his journey back.
He sat on a fixed boat and headed towards the Hemu region.
Along the way, Chen Heng saw some other Apprentices.
Because of the war, there had been fewer Sorcerers heading to the Hemu region over the past few years.
Many Sorcerers feared the war in the Hemu region and avoided it.
However, at the same time, there were also some people who felt that there was an opportunity and wanted to go to the Hemu region to obtain some things.
Compared to those who had left, there were fewer of them, and most of them were wild Sorcerers or Sorcerers from small guilds.
These Sorcerers who did not have much of a background had very difficult lives and had nowhere to go.
To Sorcerers from Sorcerer families, this war was something that they could not afford to do. However, to these Sorcerers, it was an opportunity.
After all, no matter which faction it was, they would try to rope in other Sorcerers to increase their own strength.
Some things that couldn't be obtained under normal circumstances could be obtained at this time.
As such, during this period of time, Chen Heng saw many Sorcerers who wanted to leave this continent and go to the Hemu region.
In response, Chen Heng's expression was calm, and he hid in his room and did not go out.
He had only gone to the Hemu region to gather some information and did not want to cause any trouble. As such, the more low-profile he was, the better.
His experiences in the past told him that if he wanted to live long, the more low-profile he was, the better.
In the past, unless it was absolutely necessary, Chen Heng would normally choose to be low-profile.
It was a pity that even though he did not show his face, sometimes, accidents would happen.
A wave of turbulence came from all directions, surging continuously at this moment.
The entire ship started to tremble as if someone was casting a magic skill, affecting the ship's progress.
"What's going on?"
Within the room, sensing the tremors, Chen Heng could not help but frown.
He did not hesitate and walked out of the room.
A scene appeared before his eyes.
At this moment, the ship was only halfway through its journey, and it was still surrounded by a boundless ocean. At a glance, there seemed to be no end to it.
Ahead, the figures of the Merfolk appeared in Chen Heng's vision.
These members of the Sea Race looked very strong. Every one of them looked taller than a normal human, and they all looked different.
At that moment, they all rushed towards the ship that Chen Heng was on.
"It's the Merfolk!"
At the side, a fellow sorcerer let out a roar. At this moment, his expression was extremely ugly. "Why are these guys here?"
"Damnit! It was the magic energy ripples from the ship that drew them over! "
From time to time, the acolytes in the surroundings would open their mouths and cry out in surprise.
Most of the people on the ship were Sorcerers or related to Sorcerers, and they immediately reacted.
The Merfolk were a unique race that lived under the ocean. They were not much weaker than humans, and they were definitely one of the most powerful races.
These Merfolk were extremely sensitive to magic energy auras, and even from far away, they could sense it.
The reason why they rushed over this time was probably because they felt the aura of magic power coming from the ship. That was why they rushed over so eagerly.
"Damnit! Why are there Merfolk in this region? "
Standing on the deck and looking at the Merfolk charging over, a middle-aged Sorcerer's expression was ashen, "Their territory is not here!"
"It's war!"
Someone made an excuse and guessed, "The war in the Hemu region affected them, causing them to try to occupy some dangerous regions and slowly migrate here."
"This Merfolk tribe most likely just migrated here and ran into us," someone guessed.
Someone guessed. According to normal circumstances, this should be the truth.
Of course, even if they could guess this, it would not be of much help in the current situation.
Ahead, savage-looking and tall Merfolk continuously roared as they charged over, and they were led by the Merfolk Sorcerers.
Magic energy auras rippled out.
Facing this situation, some Sorcerers had finally acted.
"Attack together!"
Someone yelled, "If we don't act now, we'll all die at their hands!"
The nobles of the Merfolk loved to eat creatures with magic energy.
Human Sorcerers were one of their favorite foods.
This ship was filled with Sorcerers, and to them, they were delicious food.
If they did not resist and banded together to defeat the Merfolk, their fates would be quite pitiful.
All of the Sorcerers understood this, so they did not hesitate and gathered their magic energy.
In mid-air, a pale blue ball of light condensed and emitted a pale blue radiance. Then, under the control of magic power, it rushed forward.
Boom!
A light explosion sounded out.
A Merfolk Sorcerer was hit by the orb of light and died on the spot.
Dense magic energy aura spread out, and the remnant energy of elemental particles was quite clear.
"The lord guarding the bed has acted!"
Seeing this result, many of the Sorcerers present could not help but feel excited.
To be able to directly cast magic skills to attack, that Sorcerer was evidently a Third Rank Apprentice.
Third Rank Apprentices could rival Great Knights, and in some small places, they would be top-tier existences.
This was most likely one of the Apprentices on this ship.
Sensing that powerful magic energy aura, the Apprentices could not help but feel excited, and they drew their swords and sabers, preparing to fight.
As Sorcerers, the characteristics of Sorcerers did not appear on their bodies at all. Instead, they looked more like Knights.
Of course, there was nothing that could be done about this.
Apart from Third Rank Apprentices who had grasped magic skills, even though First and Second Rank Apprentices had magic power, they did not have the power to cast magic skills.
The only thing they could rely on was the physical strength that came with magic power.
They were more like Knights than Sorcerers.
Chen Heng's performance was about the same.
The instant the fighting started, he raised his sword and rushed over, defending against the invading Merfolk with the other Apprentices.
He was quite powerful, and even though he was only a Third Rank Apprentice, his close-combat skills were quite shocking.
With each strike, he would definitely kill an invading Merfolk.
With him at the center, a thick layer of corpses quickly piled up around him.
In the surroundings, the other Apprentices were also working. However, looking at Chen Heng's performance, they could not calm down no matter what they did.
Around him, with him as the center, there were corpses of the Oceanic Race all around him. It was a terrifying sight.
Chen Heng's clothes were also dyed red, making him look quite horrifying.
As a Third Rank Sorcerer, his body was not inferior to a Great Knight's, and adding on the fact that he had activated his Life Seed, his body had become even more powerful.
Currently, even if a Grand Knight were to stand beside him, the Grand Knight would not be his match.
This was even more so for the Merfolk.
Soon, he obtained the results he wanted, and the corpses of the Merfolk fell to the ground.
It was a pity that they were still fighting.
Otherwise, Chen Heng would definitely drag these corpses away and put them into his laboratory.
These were all Merfolk.
The Sea Race, although the composition of this race was mixed, in the end, it was still considered a unique kind of lifeform. Their bloodline was very different from that of ordinary humans.
If he could move all of these Sea Race members to his laboratory and extract their bloodline origin, he would definitely gain a lot.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng could not help but feel a bit of pity.
Ahead, a strange ripple flashed past.
Chen Heng's body paused for a moment before quickly leaving his original position.
A shadow instantly covered the place where Chen Heng had been standing.
Waves of magic power aura spread out in the surroundings.
"Magic power?"
Sensing the magic power reaction, Chen Heng inwardly frowned, "There are Merfolk Priests among these Merfolk?"
The Sea Race Priests were the most agile among the Sea Race. They were almost equivalent to the Sea Race Shamans.
