Fantasy Simulator - Chapter 193

“This feeling, this should be it…”

Touching that red crystal, a smile appeared on Chen Heng’s face, “The Kodo Beast’s heart…”

Chen Heng had recognized this thing as soon as he had seen it; it was the heart of a powerful creature.

That’s right, a heart.

Kodo Beast hearts were incredibly valuable in this world.

Kodo Beasts were bloodline creatures like Harpies, and they had already disappeared.

Kodo Beasts with pure bloodlines would be able to rival Sorcerers once they matured.

Their hearts had special effects, and they could help Third Rank Apprentices become true Sorcerers.

It was a pity that they had essentially gone extinct. Even though they could occasionally be found, they were like the Harpies and no longer had very pure bloodlines.

As for gold potions, those things had come later and were replacements for Kodo Beast hearts.

After all, Kodo Beast hearts were too valuable and rare. If they could not find any replacements, there would be nothing for future Sorcerers to use.

Chen Heng had never thought that he would be surprised like this.

A Kodo Beast heart would be worth cities, and it was difficult to imagine how many magic stones it would sell for.

Of course, to normal people, they had no idea as to its value, and this had benefitted Chen Heng.

This Kodo Beast heart had already been treated by someone using special methods, which was why it appeared crystalline; this preserved much of the powerful life force that it contained.

This was good.

The thing that made Kodo Beast hearts precious was the massive amounts of lifeforce they contained.

This was the main reason why they were able to help people become true Sorcerers.

If one did not use special methods to crystallize it, the heart’s lifeforce would have run dry since long ago.

If that were the case, he would have received a long-since rotten and unusable Kodo Beast heart.

Not bad.

Chen Heng grinned and felt quite happy.

Just this Kodo Beast heart made everything he had done so far worth it.

It could be said that if Herlo and the others could get another one, Chen Heng would not mind giving him all of his assets.

After all, those ordinary assets were not of much use to him.

However, Kodo Beast hearts were invaluable to him.

Why had he left his hometown to go back to the Hunter’s House?

Wasn’t it to obtain gold potions so he could become a true Sorcerer?

Now that he had come to this place, even though he had not obtained any gold potions, he had obtained a Kodo Beast heart; this was quite good.

In terms of effects, Kodo Beast hearts were not inferior to gold potions, and they were actually better by a bit.

This heart was big enough, and it seemed like the heart of a mature Kodo Beast. The lifeforce it contained most likely would be enough for Chen Heng to become a true Sorcerer and even have excess.

It was very good.

With this, Chen Heng could put his experiments aside for a while and consider becoming a true Sorcerer.

“Not bad, not bad,” Chen Heng laughed, and he felt that coming to this little world was not a completely bad thing.

After coming here, he had not only discovered the existence of faith energy, but he had also obtained the legacy of a senior from the past.

Whether it was that magic skill book or this Kodo Beast heart, they were all things left behind by seniors.

There were definitely many of these things in the world.

Who knew when this little world was created and how many people had been sent into it?

Those people had left behind many traces in this world, as well as rich inheritances.

Those things could not be used by the indigenous people, but they were of great value to Chen Heng.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng walked to the side and recorded his new goal.

‘Become a true Sorcerer.’

This was his third goal right now.

The first goal was to search for ways to leave this world, and the second was to explore the cultivation of faith energy.

He had found some clues as to how to leave this world through the records from that senior.

As for the cultivation of faith energy, he had also made some progress but not much.

The cultivation of faith energy in this world was simply too mystical.

He was unable to understand how this power came to exist, nor how it manifested in his body.

If it wasn’t for those orphans providing him with this power, he would have doubted whether or not this power really existed.

Now that he had obtained the Kodo Beast heart, the first two goals would be pushed down the list temporarily.

Leaving this world required the demon king to rise up first, and observing faith energy required higher-level techniques.

Both of these things required greater strength.

After becoming a true Sorcerer, no matter if it was to deal with the demon king or explore faith energy, it would be much more convenient for Chen Heng.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng did not hesitate and walked out of the laboratory.

In the following period of time, Chen Heng turned away all guests and visitors and did not leave his laboratory.

He left the various tasks to others and stayed in his laboratory, doing some tests.

Time gradually passed.

“Kodo Beast’s heart, magic skill frameworks, magic power…”

Within the laboratory, Chen Heng was going through his situation.

After such a long time, his magic power had reached the standard.

Ordinary people becoming a true Sorcerer required at least 100 ku of magic power.

Chen Heng had long since reached this standard, and he had vastly exceeded it by now.

As for the mental energy standard, he had also reached it long ago.

Chen Heng had also chosen his magic skill framework.

When becoming a true Sorcerer, one could choose a magic skill to be reinforced on their body, turning it into their own magic skill.

There were great benefits to this.

Magic skills obtained through this process could be used more naturally and could be used without the framework. It required a single thought to directly use, and their power would also be much greater.

Essentially, it was similar to the magic skills that bloodline creatures innately awakened.

From how Chen Heng saw it, this was essentially engraving a magic skill framework into one’s bloodline, causing one’s bodily structures to go through changes during the ranking up process. This would make the magic skill become one’s instinct, turning it into one’s bloodline magic skill.

As such, the magic skill that one chose was very important.

The stability of a magic skill framework and its structure would affect the Sorcerer ranking up.

Usually, people would pick a magic skill that suited them the most, and Chen Heng did the same.

He had already picked the magic skill he would use.

Summon Armor.

This magic skill came from Yana’s Legacy Stone, and it was one of the summoning skills.

The effects were similar to the magic skills she had used before; it was just that while those magic skills summoned weapons, this summoned armor covered one’s body.

Chen Heng had tried it before.

Summon Armor could summon a layer of magic power armor. The defensive properties were quite good, and it could defend against many magic skills.

In terms of pure defensive power, it was better than even the barriers he had used in the past.

The only downside was that the activation was a bit slow and the magic skill framework was a bit too complicated.

However, after reinforcing this magic skill in his body, it would become his bloodline magic skill, making up for those downsides.

When that time came, he would be able to activate this magic skill with a single thought and cover his entire body with magic power armor.

This was quite suitable for Chen Heng.

The main reason why Chen Heng chose this magic skill was to survive.

After all, there were all kinds of strange things in the Sorcerer World. Sometimes, a strange magic skill would launch, and one would not have enough time to defend before being hit.

With this magic skill, things would be different.

If you want to attack me with a magic skill, let’s see if you can break through this layer of armor first.

Chen Heng was quite pleased with his decision.

As such, he began to act.

Faint magic power aura began to spread out.

Within the laboratory, the Kodo Beast’s heart had already been prepared. As it was affected by magic power, red liquid began to drip out of it into a cup.

The red liquid looked like blood but was very active. One could tell at a glance that this definitely was not ordinary blood.

Chen Heng glanced at it before raising the cup and gulping the contents.

The first feeling he felt was that it was very, very sweet and had the metallic taste of blood.

Most people’s reaction would be to gag and vomit it out, but Chen Heng resisted this urge.

This was the essence of a Kodo Beast’s heart and was worth hundreds of magic stones. If he really spat it out, it would be a heavy loss.

Just that was enough to make him hold back from gagging.

As time passed, changes began to happen.

Chen Heng blinked and quickly felt what was happening.

Hot. Very hot.

Massive amounts of searing energy spread out in his body as if a bomb had gone off in his body.

The Kodo Beast heart’s essence had started to take effect and produce changes in his body.

Large amounts of searing energy spread out, first from his heart and then spreading to the rest of his body, causing his body’s temperature to increase.

Standing there, Chen Heng stretched out his hand.

Chen Heng could clearly see his arm; the skin had become completely red, as if it was meat being grilled on a hotplate.

It was just that it did not look tasty at all.

Chen Heng shook his head and did not hesitate.

His powerful mental energy spread out, controlling the energy within his body and stabilizing it.

Within his body, his magic power also began to move, including his Moon supreme-ruler Energy.

All of the energies became active.

They circulated through Chen Heng’s body, causing various reactions and changes, and rumbles continuously sounded from Chen Heng’s body.

Within Chen Heng’s body, his lifeforce was spreading out and quickly being sapped.

During this process, his mental energy was rapidly increasing.

He was essentially burning his lifeforce to bring his mental energy to a new level.

This was the most dangerous step of becoming a true Sorcerer.

During this process, one had to expend a large amount of lifeforce to support the changes.

If a Sorcerer’s lifeforce was not sufficient, they would fail.

The Sorcerer’s lifeforce would wither and would be burned to death.

As such, this was an incredibly dangerous process.

It was because of this that the Kodo Beast’s heart was so important.

The Kodo Beast’s heart’s essence now came into effect. The powerful lifeforce helped Chen Heng’s body quickly recover and endure the ranking up process.

At the same time, the faint silver Moon supreme-ruler Energy was also shimmering as it spread out, also taking effect.

………

The Moon supreme-ruler Energy not only had the ability to purify one’s mind but was also capable of nourishing lifeforce.

A loud sound rang out and Chen Heng suddenly felt a suffocating feeling that was becoming more and more intense.

In response, Chen Heng’s expression was calm, not surprised at all.

His mental energy continued to spread out.

Standing in the small laboratory, Chen Heng began his process of ranking up.

…

“Sir Ed has already gone in for three or four days…”

Outside the laboratory, the old butler paced about, looking quite worried, “Did something bad happen?”

In the past, Chen Heng would often go into the laboratory and stay there for long periods of time.

However, he had never gone in for such a long time without coming out.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Chen Heng had strictly told him that no one is to go in and disturb him, the old butler would have rushed in to check on Chen Heng himself.

“Ai.”

After standing outside the laboratory for a long time, the old butler could only sigh and turn and leave to take care of other matters.

After Chen Heng had entered the laboratory, everything in the residence had been left to him to look after.

This was trust, as well as his duty.

With so many people living in this residence, there were many matters to take care of.

He did not have time to just keep waiting here.

However, before he walked too far, he heard some sounds from behind.

With a bang, the laboratory’s doors opened.

The old butler turned and saw a figure walk out from the laboratory.

“Sir… Ed?”

Looking at that figure, the old butler instinctively spoke but then froze.

The figure that walked out of the laboratory looked incredibly weak, and he had a very pale face.

Chen Heng’s appearance had gone through some changes, and he looked quite different to before.

Seeing Chen Heng, the old butler stared for a moment, almost not recognizing him.

“Sir Ed, what happened to you?”

After a while, his expression greatly changed and hurried over to support Chen Heng.

“I had an accident and became like this,” Chen Heng gave a slight smile, “Go and prepare some food for me.”

Following this, Chen Heng changed his clothes and came to the dining hall.

There were all kinds of food prepared at the dining hall, including some demon beasts’ meat.

Chen Heng had a look before picking up his knife and fork, and he began to ravenously eat.

His movements were quite elegant, but he ate incredibly quickly.

He only stopped after devouring quite a few plates of food.

The incredible hunger that he had felt before had been mostly relieved.

Only then did Chen Heng let out a breath.

“It’s finally done.”

He had successfully become a true Sorcerer.

In actuality, there was no reason for him to fail.

Becoming a true Sorcerer was dangerous, but Chen Heng did not lack magic power, mental energy, or any good magic skill frameworks. He was also quite young and also had the Kodo Beast heart to support him.

Moreover, he had Level 4 Sorcerer talent, and he naturally had a high chance of becoming a true Sorcerer.

These circumstances added together meant that it would be incredibly difficult for him to fail.

After all, he had considered the things that could cause him to fail and avoided them.

However, Chen Heng was not too satisfied.

From how he saw it, this rank up was not perfect, and he had had the opportunity to obtain better effects.

However, now that it was done, there was no point thinking about this.

He would just have to wait for next time.

He would have more opportunities in the future.

After eating, Chen Heng returned to the laboratory.

The laboratory was a complete mess; no one had come to clean yet.

Chen Heng looked around.

The Kodo Beast’s heart was still there, but its appearance had greatly changed.

Before, it had been a bright red crystal, but now it was only a faint red.
