Magic Martial Arts

So a month later, in fact, at the end of September or the beginning of October, this "sightseeing" research activity on the "Qinghai" grassland ended early in an unpleasant way!

Without Su Chen's magic research team, the atmosphere became a little... strange...

'Chris' is known to be a taciturn person. It's impossible to expect him to liven up the atmosphere.

'Aili' is a little shy and timid, and may even stutter when she speaks. She looks cute, but don't expect this little beauty to say anything.

Locke may be the only one with a more active personality among the crowd, but looking at the green and quite appropriate "showy" hairstyle, please believe that no one here wants to listen to this "young man"... No one... Of course, Locke himself is somewhat self-aware about this, so in front of Teacher Rio, Chris and Ellie, Locke also speaks very little. Perhaps the only one who can understand his inner "loneliness" is Su Chen himself, no other reason... just because he is an "experienced person"!

As for the Rio Mage, as a staid, old-fashioned, pedantic Mage, Su Chen could even imagine such a scene:

Somewhere in the grassland, Teacher Rio was wearing a gray-black magic robe, and three disciples followed him step by step, all in silence. As they walked along, Teacher Rio's face was serious and almost "old-fashioned", and his words were also very "monotonous".

Sure enough, after a few steps, Teacher Rio stretched out his right hand from behind his back, pointed to a colorful flower in the grass not far away, and began to narrate:

"Yes! This is 'Mandra'. Its rhizome has 'anesthetic' and 'hallucinogenic' effects!"

Then Teacher Rio glanced, then extended his left hand behind his back, pointed in another direction, and continued:

"Ah, that's 'Belladonna', a very powerful 'drug'!"

Just as the three disciples saw, there were indeed many small black and purple fruits growing in the bushes over there.

Therefore, the entire magic research was conducted under the guidance of Teacher Rio, and the content was exactly the same as what was recorded in the book. Perhaps the only difference was that they finally saw... a 'living' magic plant... Hehe... It was really... amazing...

Of course, Su Chen could only imagine all this, and it was impossible for him to see it with his own eyes, because after finishing the magic research, the 'Rio' wizard and his companions were preparing to return to the Tianwu Empire. From the beginning of October, the 'Qinghai' grassland would begin to snow one after another, and the time span would be as long as four months. So if they did not leave as soon as possible, they might have to spend the New Year on the grassland...

However, the Rio mages did not "forget" Su Chen. It was a pity that Su Chen was still "bound" in the "Xuanhuang Space". It seemed that "transformation" was an extremely long process.

In the end, the wizard 'Rio' finally took 'Chris', 'Locke' and 'Ellie' away, while Su Chen was still in 'Xuanhuang', as if he was asleep.

"The universe exists for eternity, and the universe is immortal... Dong..."

After two years and nine months, another twenty-eight days, seven hours, and thirty-six seconds, Su Chen finally opened his long-closed eyes at the roar of the 'alarm clock'. Suddenly, the sound of Tao rang, and his eyes were bright as he opened and closed!

And the next moment after Su Chen opened his eyes, the entire "Xuanhuang Space" fluctuated slightly, like ripples on the water. Then Su Chen followed the vibration and suddenly returned to the tent of the "Witch King", as if everything was just a dream and Su Chen was originally standing there, as if he had never left.

The big tent was just as dark as when Su Chen first entered. He still couldn't see his toes when he lowered his head. At this moment, a faint, old, but unusually clear voice suddenly sounded in front of him:

"Done?"

"It's done!"

This childish yet slightly mature voice was the one that answered the question from Su Chen. Hearing this in the darkness ahead, he seemed to be thinking about something. After a long silence, he continued to ask:

"Understood?"

"Understood!"

Su Chen's answer was still the same question, but his tone and feeling were completely different. In the long time in the "Xuanhuang Space", Su Chen gradually learned about the causes and consequences and figured out many questions, including the three legendary "philosophical" questions: Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?

"...Everything has its 'fate'...Now that you understand...then...go ahead..."

This time, the voice in the darkness ahead did not make Su Chen wait too long, and there seemed to be a little more relief in its words.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen stopped talking, but stood up straight with his head held high and chest puffed out, and saluted towards the darkness in front of him... Yes, it was the "sacred" etiquette you imagined.

At the same time, Su Chen also saw a "dazed" old face from the "darkness" in front of him, so he did not stay any longer and turned to leave the big tent "Witch Court".
