In response to Connor's congratulations, Varga's face was full of smiles. Joy and excitement were clearly written all over his face.
In the Magus World, there were countless examples of couples who were Magi. If the difference in strength was too great, even if they made solemn vows of undying love, the outcome would not be too good.
Now that Connor had become a rank 1 Magus, while he was still a high-ranked Magus, Varga felt inferior even though he had never expressed it. This was also the main reason why he was so sensitive when Connor came into contact with other women.
Previously, he knew that the cultivation bottleneck was not that easy to break through. It would take at least a few years of hard work before there was even a glimmer of hope. Therefore, even though Varga was very anxious to break through the cultivation bottleneck as soon as possible, and then break through to become a rank 1 Magus, he could only slowly and painstakingly work hard. Now, however, luck had come and helped Varga remove the obstacle that was the cultivation bottleneck. Therefore, to Varga, it could be said that the carp leaping over the dragon's gate and becoming an official Magus was right in front of him!
Once he became a rank 1 Magus, he would be able to live together with Connor, and he would no longer have to worry about that slut Marguerite snatching Connor away from him. The joy in Varga's eyes almost overflowed. However, in the midst of his joy, Varga seemed to have thought of something, and the radiant smile on his face gradually disappeared. He looked at Connor and lightly bit his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
"Breaking through the cultivation bottleneck, Varga, this is great news for you. Why do you have such an expression?" Seeing the change in Varga's expression, Connor lightly scratched Varga's nose, and then asked somewhat puzzledly, "What's the matter?
Hearing Connor's question, Varga mustered up his courage and said softly, "I can suppress the energy in my body for at most half a month. After that, I will have to try to break through!"
Varga's words immediately caused the smile on Connor's face to freeze. A moment later, Connor withdrew his smile and his expression turned grave.
Once an advanced Sorcerer-Apprentice broke through the bottleneck of their cultivation, they would be considered to have reached the peak among Sorcerer-Apprentices. Unless they broke through to become a rank 1 Sorcerer, they would not be able to progress any further.
At this stage, trying to break through to an official Wizard was only a matter of time. Even if you felt that you were not ready and did not want to break through, the energy in your body would not agree. It would gather together in your body, and when it reached a certain point, it would self-destruct and blow you into pieces. If you wanted to solve this problem, there was no other way except to try to break through!
Of course, as a Sorcerer, you could try to suppress the energy in your body and prevent it from gathering, but this was only a temporary solution. As long as you did not try to break through, it was only a matter of time before you could not suppress the energy in your body. As for how long you could suppress the energy in your body, it was different for every Sorcerer, so there was no general answer. Some people could suppress it for a year, or even two years. Similarly, there were also people who could only suppress it for two or three days before they had to try to break through to become a rank 1 Sorcerer.
When Connor was at this stage, he suppressed the energy in his body for more than a month, less than two months. Now that Varga said that he could only suppress it for half a month, it seemed that in half a month, Varga would have to try to break through. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking that there was only half a month left for Varga to try to break through to become a rank 1 Sorcerer, Connor felt a slight headache.
Before today, no one would have thought that Varga would be lucky enough to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation. Connor was not a god, so he could only rely on his experience to think that Varga still needed a few more years to become a rank 1 Sorcerer. Therefore, he thought that there was still plenty of time, so he did not prepare anything related to the breakthrough for Varga.
In addition, Connor's own cultivation and alchemy experiments required a lot of resources, so Connor did indeed have a few methods to help Varga break through. However, without exception, these methods all required a lot of cultivation resources.
The awkward thing now was that Connor did not have many cultivation resources that could help Varga. The most typical of these resources were magic stones. If he wanted to help Varga break through to become a rank 1 Sorcerer and set up an energy gathering formation, he would need at least tens of thousands of magic stones. The last few thousand magic stones Connor had just been used to provide energy for Varga to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation.
Without the support of cultivation resources, no matter how powerful Connor's methods were, Connor could only be like a housewife who could not cook a meal without rice. He could do nothing but stare helplessly.
"Varga, have you prepared the potion for your breakthrough to become a rank 1 Sorcerer?" Connor frowned and pondered for a while before asking Varga.
Varga shook his head and honestly said, "This breakthrough was too sudden. I was not prepared at all. However, the potions in my spatial ring are still very complete. In half a month's time, I should be able to concoct the potion that will help me break through!"
Although he had already guessed that Varga was the same as himself and was not prepared to break through to become a rank 1 Sorcerer, Connor's heart could not help but sink when he heard Varga's reply.
For a high-ranked acolyte to break through to become a rank 1 Sorcerer, there was no doubt that the best situation was to succeed on the first try like Connor.
If the first attempt was a failure, not only would the subsequent attempts be more difficult, but the failure of the first attempt would also create a negative impact on the Sorcerer's heart. It could even cause a shadow in the hearts of Sorcerers who did not have strong willpower, causing them to not dare to attempt to break through to become an official Sorcerer.
According to the incomplete statistics of a certain Sorcerer organisation, out of ten official Sorcerers, eight would succeed on their first attempt. The remaining two would only succeed on their second attempt after failing on their first attempt. As for those rank 1 Sorcerers who failed on their first attempt, there was basically not a single one who succeeded on their second attempt. From this, it could be seen how important the first breakthrough was for high-ranked Sorcerers who wanted to become official Sorcerers.
"Valga, in the remaining half a month, prepare the potions that will aid in your breakthrough. Leave the rest to me. Half a month later, Valga, I, Connor Ferguson, will definitely help you become an official Magus!" Grabbing Valga's soft, jade-like hands, Connor said with absolute certainty, "Valga, I, Connor Ferguson, will definitely make you an official Magus!
