Chapter 162: Chapter 162 – Entrust

As the Fortune Mark’s power became activated, Chen Heng’s vision changed.

Everything now looked completely different.

Chen Heng could see countless fates stretching up, forming a sky net.

Same as the sky net of the real world and the Azure Heaven Realm, this sky net was incredibly complicated, and the changes that it went through in just a single moment were astounding.

To be able to see this net of fate clearly, Chen Heng was already doing quite well.

Following this, Chen Heng looked above his head.

There were traces of fate above his head but no Fortune.

“As expected…”

Seeing this, Chen Heng shook his head but did not feel disappointed—this was within his expectations.

Compared to Chen Yu’s identity, this identity was only a red-grade identity and was only better than the basic white-grade identities.

To be able to have Sorcerer talent was already quite good; wanting Fortune on top of that would be asking for a bit too much.

After all, Chen Heng now knew how rare and valuable Fortune was.

With Fortune, no matter what one did, everything would go incredibly smoothly. Any dangers and problems could turn into opportunities.

That kind of feeling was quite amazing, and it had been put to full use by someone like Chen Heng, who had the Fortune Mark.

It was a pity that this identity did not have Fortune and was just an ordinary person.

However, Chen Heng was not too disappointed.

In the following days, Chen Heng took over Ed’s identity and started to live here.

Because of Griffin’s presence, Chen Heng acted completely the same as the original Ed.

However, he would secretly cultivate the Body Forging Technique and Knights Breathing Technique.

After using the Knights Breathing Technique, Chen Heng realized how lacking this body was.

This body indeed had Knight Talent, but it was extremely weak and could be said to barely exist, and controlling life energy was incredibly difficult.

Chen Heng even wondered if this body originally did not have any Knight Talent at all.

After all, it was possible that what meager Knight Talent this body had was because of the 100 Points he had spent on the Knight Talent option.

Without it, this body might not have a bit of Knight Talent at all.

“Are the effects of 100 Points that weak?” Chen Heng felt quite frustrated.

In the Sorcerer World, he had had Knight talent before.

That time, his Knight talent had not been too powerful and was just ordinary. However, compared to his current talent, even his ordinary talent seemed amazing.

With this kind of talent, Chen Heng felt that to be able to activate his Life Seed and barely become a true Knight was the limit.

And this was only the case because of his past experience as a Great Knight, as well as the support of the Body Forging Technique.

For ordinary people, with this kind of talent, being able to use life energy would barely be possible.

“Becoming a Knight is the limit; becoming a Great Knight is just a pipe dream,” Chen Heng thought to himself.

However, this was not a big deal. After all, cultivating the Knights Breathing Technique was just making good use of his spare time right now and to give himself a bit of strength.

He was not planning on walking the path of a Knight again.

For Chen Heng, the focus of this simulation was the path of a Sorcerer.

Chen Heng could only feel a bit frustrated as he began to cultivate the Knights Breathing Technique.

Of course, Griffin did not find out about Chen Heng’s cultivation.

When doing Body Forging, Chen Heng would find remote places and use the Fortune Mark to scan his surroundings, and he would only begin after confirming there was no one around.

He had no choice.

From the memories of this body, Griffin’s mind was quite unstable, and he had become crazier and crazier over time.

Chen Heng did not know how Griffin would react if he found out that Chen Heng was cultivating a Knights Breathing Technique.

As such, in order to avoid trouble, Chen Heng decided to keep a low profile.

Chen Heng spent his time on Meditation as well as the Knights Breathing Technique.

Just like that, time gradually passed.

Soon, a bit less than half a year had passed.

Early in the morning, the sunlight shined over the land, illuminating the surroundings.

Chen Heng walked out of his room and came to the hall that Griffin was in.

As he walked in, that familiar cold and gloomy feeling could be felt.

There seemed to be illusory images appearing, howling at him.

In just a moment, the surrounding atmosphere became quite terrifying.

In response, Chen Heng calmly waved his hand.

Aassive mental energy swept out from his body, rushing into the surroundings.

“Ahhh!!”

In just a moment, the surrounding images dissipated and disappeared.

“Excellent,” Griffin’s familiar voice sounded out.

Under the candlelight in the surroundings, Griffin’s wrinkled face looked incredibly terrifying and sinister, “Looks like you’ve worked hard over the past few months; your mental energy can now be used to perform mental attacks.”

Speaking to there, Griffin paused and gave a slight smile, “This vast mental energy is enough for you to become a true Sorcerer Apprentice. What do you say, Michael?”

“Indeed,” another person’s voice sounded out.

Hearing this, Chen Heng felt quite surprised.

Only now did he realize that there was someone else in the hall.

That black-robed figure looked like a man; it was just that this person was wearing a strange black iron mask.

He stood beside Griffin and seemed like he was quite familiar with Griffin.

“Is this your grandson?”

The masked figure walked out of the darkness and looked at Chen Heng in interest, “The sole successor of your family?”

Griffin nodded and asked in a low voice, “That’s right. Your thoughts?”

“He’s very good.”

Michael looked at Chen Heng before nodding, “Even though I don’t know what his talent is like, just that mental energy he just displayed means that he has the qualifications to become an Apprentice.

“Given his age, his accomplishments will be no inferior to yours.

“Griffin you old fellow, you have quite a good grandson.”

He suddenly laughed as he stared at Chen Heng.

“Then, just as we agreed, I’ll leave my grandson to you,” Griffin said calmly, “Please take care of him for me.”

Michael nodded, “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of him for you…”

“I hope that’s the case,” Griffin’s expression was cool as if he thought of something.

“Ed, come over here,” he said to Chen Heng.

Hearing Griffin’s words, Chen Heng looked over and maintained a calm expression as he walked up.

He walked over to Griffin and Michael before stopping.

“This is a Sorcerer from the Hunter’s House, as well as grandfather’s old classmate, Michael Dryer.

“You will go with him to the Hunter’s House to study.”

“I understand.”

Chen Heng nodded, turned, and bowed to Michael, “Mr. Dryer.”

Lower-ranked Sorcerers had to pay their respects to higher-ranked Sorcerers; this was something that Griffin had taught him.

Looking at Chen Heng, Michael laughed, “Not bad, not bad. Follow me from now on.”

He then looked at Griffin as he said, “I will give to you what we agreed on.”

Looking at Michael, Griffin’s expression was cold, “That would be good.”

Michael nodded and laughed.

Looking at these two people, Chen Heng did his best to remain calm.

Whether it was Griffin or Michael, they were not normal.

Michael also had a dense mental aura around him; it was a bloody light and contained the sound of howls.

It was evident that Michael was not a good person either.

However, by now, Chen Heng was used to this. He maintained that cold expression on his face and remained unmoving.

Following this, time continued to pass, and things progressed faster than he expected.

The next day, he left the castle with Michael.

According to Michael, they were going to leave this continent.

“Leave this continent?” Chen Heng felt quite confused.

“Did Griffin not tell you?”

Michael felt quite surprised, “The continent you’re on is quite far away from the closest Sorcerer society. As such, if you want to go to the Hunter’s House to study, you need to leave this continent. What, are you scared?”

He suddenly asked as he looked at Chen Heng.

Chen Heng did not reply and only shook his head.

“Cheh, how boring.”

Looking at Chen Heng’s reaction, Michael felt quite annoyed.

On the journey, Chen Heng was far calmer than he had expected.

Sitting in a carriage, Chen Heng looked out the window.

It was the first time he had seen the outside world after coming here.

The outside world was quite bright and lively.

There was green grass everywhere, and occasionally, they could see some small animals walking about.

It was a beautiful and harmonious scene.

There were not any mental marks here like there were in the castle, and he did not frequently hear those cries.

Here, it was much easier for his mind to relax.

After looking outside for a while, Chen Heng slowly closed his eyes.

Following this, a ripples of a formless mental energy spread out, and they were noticed by Michael.

“He can enter Meditation so easily?”

Sensing those ripples, Michael felt quite surprised.

Entering Meditation was not that simple.

Meditation required one’s mind and thoughts to become calm and pure, and using the Meditation Basic Rune in their minds, they would be able to refine their mental energy.

Throughout this process, if they were disturbed or stimulated at all, problems would happen in the Meditation, causing it to fail.

As such, when most Sorcerers went into Meditation, they would find a secluded place.

To be able to easily enter Meditation at any place and time was very difficult.

Even some Sorcerer Apprentices with great potential could not do such a thing.

This child was evidently just an ordinary person, and yet he could do such a thing.

Michael felt quite surprised, and his impression of Chen Heng began to change.

With the talent that Chen Heng had displayed, if nothing went wrong, he would at least be able to become a Sorcerer Apprentice.

Perhaps in not too long, Chen Heng would be able to reach the same level as him.

Thinking to there, Michael’s attitude slightly changed and took Chen Heng more seriously.

What he did not know was that Chen Heng had shown him this on purpose.

Chen Heng had no choice—in this unfamiliar environment, he had to use all resources at his disposal.

He had purposefully revealed his aptitude to gain Michael’s favorability so he might receive better treatment.

No matter where or when it was, geniuses were always treated better.

As such, Chen Heng wanted to dress himself up as a genius so he could receive better treatment and resources.

This was a very normal thing to do.
