In view of his current trust issues with Varga, although he still had some potions that Varga had refined for him in his space ring, Connor felt that it was necessary to plan ahead and look for a reliable source of potions.
As for now, Connor felt that it was necessary to increase his own strength. After becoming an advanced apprentice, no matter if it was facing Martina or Gursey, Connor had the last laugh. However, the process of these two battles were undoubtedly very difficult. Until the very last moment, Connor could not guarantee that he would definitely win. This made Connor feel that it was extremely strenuous!
To be honest, Connor did not like this feeling. Although Martina and Gursey both had very powerful magic artifacts in their hands, the strength of these two people was obviously not some top notch expert at the level of an advanced apprentice!
As for himself, it was already so strenuous to fight the two of them. If he were to one day meet an expert like Old Victor, who had been immersed in the ranks of advanced apprentices for many years, wouldn't he be defeated in a single touch?
Although he was unwilling to believe this conclusion, Connor had to admit that this conclusion was very likely the truth! With such a cruel reality in front of his eyes, Connor felt an extreme sense of urgency in his heart. He had a premonition that according to Varga's analysis, the terrifying effect of the Spiritual Spring Potion could be said to be assisting in breakthroughs was at the cost of one's vitality and being unable to break through to a higher level in the future. In order for him to become an advanced apprentice, that mentor of his, Reyes, could already be said to be unscrupulous!
Now that he had already become an advanced apprentice, it would not be long before Reyes would completely lay all his cards on the table with him. If the final result was not something he could accept, then going head to head with Reyes would obviously be overestimating his own capabilities and using an egg to strike a rock. However, even if he wanted to, escape was the best strategy out of the thirty-six stratagems. At the very least, he needed to have the ability to escape, right?
Connor thought for a long time and felt that if he wanted to increase his own strength, there were only a few aspects that he could start from.
First of all, as a sorcerer, the best way to increase one's own magic power was undoubtedly to break through the realm. Even if he did not break through a small realm, his own strength would still increase greatly. However, Connor had just broken through to become an advanced apprentice. It was obviously unrealistic for him to want to have a breakthrough in his cultivation in a short period of time. Moreover, if he cultivated too quickly and did not have a good foundation, not only would it affect his future cultivation progress, but it was also very likely that he would lose control and go berserk …
Secondly, as an alchemist, from the day Connor had refined a magic artifact, it had become Connor's biggest reliance. However, from the looks of it now, if he wanted to start from the aspect of magic artifact to increase his personal strength, it would be very difficult.
No matter how strong a magic artifact was, it still required a sorcerer to use magic power or spiritual force to activate and use it. Connor already had the top rank 2 magic artifact Castilla Magic Staff, the top rank 2 magic artifact Silver Light Pendant, and the top rank 1 magic artifact Black Magic Robe. Compared to other sorcerers of the same rank, the preparation on Connor's body was already very luxurious.
If he wanted to have a very significant improvement on this foundation, he must have another top rank 2 magic artifact like Castilla Magic Staff. Let's not talk about whether or not Connor could find another top rank 2 magic artifact. Even if he could find one, the fact was that Connor had just become an advanced apprentice for less than three months. The magic power and spiritual force on his body were not enough to support him to use two top rank 2 magic artifacts at the same time. Perhaps after one or two years, when his cultivation had improved further, Connor would be able to do this, but right now, without a doubt, he definitely could not do it!
Unable to have a breakthrough in his cultivation in a short period of time, the method of using magic artifacts was not feasible. These two paths were blocked. Then, at this moment, there was only one path in front of Connor, and that was magic!
Magic was an indispensable and important part of a Magus' strength. Connor, who had trained in the Secret Abyss Method of Meditation, still had a lot of room for improvement in this aspect after becoming an advanced apprentice!
From his space ring, he found an incense burner that was somewhat roughly made and placed it on the floor tiles of the quiet room. Then, with a solemn expression, Connor took out a long purple incense from his space ring and inserted it into the incense burner. Speaking of which, it was strange that after this long purple incense was inserted into the incense burner, Connor did not light it. Instead, it naturally began to burn in the incense burner. Subsequently, a strange fragrance that was hard to describe with words appeared in the quiet room!
Feeling the fragrance from his nose to his brain, Connor felt much more at ease. What he was about to do in this quiet room, although according to the records of the Secret Abyss Method, the risk was not very high. However, in the simulation process of the auxiliary A.I. Chip, there was a 37% chance of failure. A 37% chance of failure was already not small. Hence, in order to reduce the risk, Connor did not hesitate to spend a large sum of money to obtain a Clear Spirit Incense from the Meazza Club.
If one were to ask Magi who trained in the Secret Abyss Method of Meditation a question, what spell were they most proficient in?
Then, the answer of these Magi, saying that they would all choose their innate spell might be a bit of an exaggeration. However, seventy to eighty percent of them would choose their innate spell, which was not a problem at all!
The strength of the innate spell of the Secret Abyss Method of Meditation was that it was not static. Instead, it would change as the practitioner's realm increased.
According to Connor's original understanding of the Secret Abyss Method, the innate spell of the Secret Abyss Method was the "Shadow Shackles" at the acolyte stage. After becoming an official Magus, it would evolve into the stronger "Spirit Shackles".
When he was still a beginner and intermediate acolyte, Connor did not discover any abnormalities. However, after becoming an advanced acolyte, Connor discovered that his own innate spell, the "Shadow Shackles", seemed to have evolved.
Unlike in the past when he broke through, the "Shadow Shackles" changed in terms of "quantity". This time, the Shadow Shackles seemed to have changed in terms of "quality". Although it was still in the shape of a black chain, Connor could clearly feel that the Shadow Shackles had already begun to condense on their own. The energy contained within was also much more terrifying.
Although the Shadow Shackles had already begun to evolve on their own, the speed of evolution was really too slow. At this rate, it would take at least this year for the Shadow Shackles to complete its evolution. Hence, what Connor needed to do now was to artificially speed up this evolution process!
