Following this, Chen Heng watched on.
After the Sorcerer talent examination, the light became clearer.
Standing on the slab, the young man"s features could not be clearly seen, but everyone could see every small action of his.
Following this, the second pointer became to move. It moved past the first one but not by much.
In the end, the pointer slowly stopped within the second box.
"Mental energy strength: Level 2."
Michael once again spoke and recorded this on the parchment.
Hearing this, the young man on the slab looked completely crushed.
Among ordinary people, having Level 2 mental energy strength was quite good.
However, having Level 2 mental energy strength was far from enough to make up for his Level 1 Sorcerer talent.
It was sufficient to say that at most, this young man would be a Sorcerer Apprentice.
It was essentially impossible for him to become a true Sorcerer.
After hearing this, anyone would feel devastated.
However, just feeling depressed about it could not change anything.
Following this, Ordo said, "Next."
His voice was cold and did not change at all because of this examination.
For a Sorcerer Apprentice like him, he had seen far too many scenes like this.
Apart from very few people, most people"s talent would not be that great.
This was especially so for those who had come from ordinary backgrounds.
Most Sorcerers were descended from other Sorcerers, which was why they had great talent.
As such, for someone like Chen Heng, who was born from a Sorcerer family, it was easy for him to be taken seriously.
After all, these people usually had much better talent than people from ordinary families.
After that young man was a young girl.
She was about 13 or 14 years old, and she was a bit younger than Chen Heng. She looked a bit pretty at most and could not be said to be beautiful.
Just like that young man, she walked to that slab and went through the examination.
Her talent was not bad, and both her Sorcerer talent and mental energy strength were at Level 2.
Most of the other examinees had roughly the same level of talent.
Only after 10 or so people was there someone different.
"Level 3 Sorcerer Talent."
Looking at the pointer, Michael felt quite surprised.
After seeing ten or so Level 1 or Level 2 Sorcerer talents, seeing a Level 3 Sorcerer talent was somewhat surprising.
As such, his expression became a bit better as his voice became a bit softer, "What is your name?"
"I am Zana," the young girl bowed as she spoke.
This examinee with Level 3 Sorcerer talent was actually a girl.
After the light disappeared, Chen Heng saw what she looked like.
Even though she was quite young, she looked quite unique. There was a scar on her forehead and her facial features were quite delicate.
She wore red robes and looked somewhat special.
"Zana? Not bad."
Looking at the girl, Michael smiled and said, "Stand behind me after the examination ends."
This was evidently preferential treatment, but no one dared to say anything.
The girl called Zana gave a small smile as she respectfully nodded, "Yes."
After going through the Sorcerer talent examination, there was still the mental energy strength examination.
However, from experience if one"s Sorcerer talent was good, their mental energy strength would not be bad either.
As expected, the girl"s results were once again outstanding.
"Level 4 mental energy strength. Not bad."
Ordo raised his head and nodded, looking somewhat surprised.
After the examination, the girl left the slab and walked behind Michael, standing with Chen Heng.
She looked over at Chen Heng.
Chen Heng was wearing black robes and had a calm expression; he did not look simple at all.
Moreover, given that he had been standing behind Michael from the start, his ident.i.ty evidently was not simple.
As such, after hesitating, the girl said nervously, "h.e.l.lo, I am the Roland family"s Zana. You are…"
"The Doyle family"s Ed," Chen Heng looked at her before replying calmly.
"The Doyle family."
What Chen Heng did not expect was that after giving out his family"s name, Zana"s eyes lit up.
"I"ve often heard about your grandfather; he is a powerful Sorcerer," she said respectfully, "I heard that he is one of the most powerful Sorcerers in this region."
"Ah…"
Seeing her like this, Chen Heng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
If he did not know anything and only listened to what Zana had said, he would have thought that Griffin was an incredibly mighty Sorcerer.
However, in actuality, Griffin was only a Third Rank Apprentice. At most, he was only powerful among Third Rank Apprentices.
Compared to true Sorcerers, he was not much.
In front of him, Zana was still speaking, looking quite pa.s.sionate.
In response, Chen Heng listened as he observed the scene before him.
The examinations were still going on, but after Zana, there were no longer any more examinees with Level 3 Sorcerer talent or even Level 3 mental energy strength.
Chen Heng inwardly shook his head and felt somewhat disappointed.
Soon, all of the examinees had had their turn.
Following this, Michael turned and looked at Chen Heng.
"Ed."
He smiled and felt quite expectant, "It"s your turn now."
"Go," Ordo said.
Even though his voice was still cold, there was a trace of antic.i.p.ation in his voice.
"Let me see what kind of talent Griffin"s beloved grandson has."
As Michael and Ordo spoke, everyone else looked over.
"That"s Mister Griffin"s grandson? The successor of the Doyle family?"
"No wonder."
"I wonder what his talent will be like."
Some whispers sounded out.
Even Zana looked like she was greatly looking forward to this.
It seemed that Griffin was quite famous in this region, and many people knew about him and the Doyle family.
After hearing about Chen Heng"s ident.i.ty, many people began to pay greater attention to him.
Many people discussed among themselves as they looked at Chen Heng.
Being stared at by so many people, it was natural to feel some pressure, especially for a teenage boy.
However, Chen Heng looked completely calm; not only was his expression the same, but he also did not even give off any mental ripples. It was as if he was not affected at all.
Seeing this, Michael and Ordo felt a bit surprised.
Following this, Chen Heng slowly walked forwards.
Soon, he reached the slab like everyone else.
As the Sorcerer Formation activated, hazy light appeared over the slab.
As everyone watched on, the first pointer began to move.
When it stopped, it had pa.s.sed where it had stopped for Zana.
"Level 4 Sorcerer talent."
When Michael said this, the surroundings fell completely silent.
The other examinees looked at Chen Heng with complicated gazes, all of them feeling quite envious.
Level 4 Sorcerer talent…
Anyone who had any basic information about Sorcerers knew what this meant.
For Sorcerers, Level 1 Sorcerer talent meant nothing; anyone who had even a bit of talent would fall into this category.
People with Level 1 Sorcerer talent were not worth nurturing; at most, they could only become a Sorcerer Apprentice.
Most of the examinees here were at this level.
Those with Level 2 Sorcerer talent had some value in nurturing, but it was likely that they would never become a true Sorcerer, and would at most become a Third Rank Apprentice.
Only those with at least Level 3 Sorcerer talent would have some hope of becoming a Sorcerer.
However, even though examinees with Level 3 Sorcerer talent had a chance at becoming a true Sorcerer, it was not that probable.
However, things were different for Level 4 Sorcerer talent.
Compared to Level 3, Level 4 Sorcerer talent had a large chance of becoming a true Sorcerer.
In other words, as long as nothing out of the ordinary happened, it was very likely for Chen Heng to become a true Sorcerer in the future.
That was something even Michael and Ordo could only look up at. In this entire continent, there was not a single true Sorcerer.
If Chen Heng really could become a true Sorcerer, he would lead the Doyle family into a new age. He could even move away from this continent and develop in other places.
Thinking to there, everyone present felt incredibly envious and respectful.
Sensing everyone"s gazes, Chen Heng did not mind and fell into his own thoughts.
"Looks like this red grade ident.i.ty was not too bad."
Before receiving his score, he had thought that this body having Level 3 Sorcerer talent would already be quite good.
He had never expected that it would be Level 4.
It seemed that red grade ident.i.ties were not too bad but were not the best either.
He now wondered what his mental energy strength would be like.
This body"s mental energy had already been quite good and had a good foundation.
After Chen Heng had come here, with his own mental energy, this made his mental energy even stronger.
After spending half a year here and working hard at his Basic Meditation Technique, his mental energy had become even more powerful.
Overall, his mental energy should be quite terrifying.
Following this, the examination began.
A faint light flashed and covered Chen Heng"s body.
The second pointer began to move, and watching it, everyone felt quite shocked.
The pointer quickly moved, moving past the fourth box and continuing onwards.
"Level 5? No, that"s not all!"
Looking at the pointer, Michael felt quite dumbfounded.
The pointer continued to move and only stopped after a while.
"Level 7 mental energy strength…"
Looking at the results, Michael fell silent for a long time before saying this.
Everyone in the surroundings were completely stupefied.
Level 7 mental energy strength was a bit too terrifying.
The strength of one"s mental energy was one of the standards for becoming a Sorcerer.
Before becoming a Sorcerer, one"s mental energy had to reach a certain level.
Ordinarily speaking, if one wanted to become a First Rank Apprentice, one needed at least Level 3 mental energy.
A Second Rank Apprentice required at least Level 6 mental energy.
As for Third Rank Apprentices, they required Level 9 mental energy.
Right now, Chen Heng"s mental energy was already at Level 7.
In other words, he was already qualified to become a Second Rank Apprentice.
Compared to the people around him, this was terrifying.
Around him, apart from Zana, not a single person dared to say they could definitely become a Third Rank Apprentice.
Most of them could only become First or Second Rank Apprentices.
In other words, their end point was only Chen Heng"s starting point.
This was the undeniable truth.
Thinking about that, many people"s expressions became complicated as they looked at Chen Heng, not knowing what to say.
"Not bad, not bad."
Looking at Chen Heng standing on the slab, Michael laughed and said, "No wonder that old fellow Griffin asked me to look after you, despite his personality."
"Ed, come stand behind me."
His voice was soft and gentle as he said, "In the future, if you have any problems, you can come and find me. Don"t worry. Since your grandfather has asked me to take care of you, I will do my best. Let me know if you have any issues."
His att.i.tude was much more pa.s.sionate than before.
Sensing this change, Chen Heng gave a respectful smile as he said, "I"ll be troubling you then."
"You can also come to find me if you encounter any problems."
Ordo also could not help but speak, and a slight smile appeared on his face, which had been quite cold before, "I"m sure there are many things you"ll need help with after first entering the academy."
"I"ll be troubling you too then," Chen Heng respectfully nodded.
He did not seem to have become arrogant because of his results at all.
Afterwards, Chen Heng returned to his spot behind Michael, standing next to Zana.
The little girl"s att.i.tude became even more excited as a look of respect appeared on her face, "Heavens, Level 4 Sorcerer talent. Ed, you"re the most outstanding person I"ve ever met."
She looked even more excited than Chen Heng himself.
"It"s not a big deal."
Looking at her like this, Chen Heng maintained his calm demeanor and shook his head, "It"s just talent."
To the side, Zana continued to speak.
Chen Heng replied each time as he looked around.
After the examination ended, Michael and Ordo carefully put the slab away.
Following this, the black-robed puppets continuously moved, bringing various things onto the s.h.i.+p.
"Now, everyone get on the s.h.i.+p."
Michael turned and looked at the new students, "You have half an hour to prepare. After that, everyone must get on. Anyone who is not on the s.h.i.+p will be deemed to have given up their right to enter the academy."
By now, his expression had become cold again.
After saying this, he turned and led Chen Heng away.
On the side, Zana did not hesitate and followed behind them.
After entering the s.h.i.+p, the s.p.a.ce within it was revealed.
What surprised Chen Heng was that the s.p.a.ce inside the wooden s.h.i.+p looked very big, and the levels were quite complicated.
Chen Heng saw many unique runes at many places. It seemed that this s.h.i.+p was not something created by mortals and used much Sorcerer techniques.
He could see many modifications made by Sorcerers.
However, this was not surprising.
If a s.h.i.+p like this was not modified by Sorcerers, it would be dangerous to use it for long trips.
Chen Heng wondered what the techniques used were like.
As Chen Heng thought to himself, he followed Michael to the central region.
