The most powerful wizard in the magic world

"Are you ready?" The black-robed wizard's voice was as loud as thunder, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Leon, a thin apprentice, nodded slightly, but was hesitant in his heart. Fighting alongside him was Emily, who had a waterfall of blonde hair, shining eyes, and a face full of expectation. "We can do it, Leon." She patted Leon's shoulder vigorously and encouraged him, "As long as we concentrate and cooperate well!"

"I know." Li Ang replied, trying to raise the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't hide the nervousness in his heart. He looked around and saw other apprentices preparing themselves, some discussing in low voices, and some checking their own herbs.

"Let's get started!" The black-robed wizard gave an order, and all the apprentices returned to their workbenches. A tense atmosphere instantly filled the air.

Emily quickly sorted out her materials: earring flowers, moonlight grass, and several bottles of rhizomes that she had obviously carefully selected a few days ago. "I need to use some calming agent, so that the effect of the potion can be more stable." She muttered to herself, but her hands did not stop moving.

Li Ang seemed relatively laborious. The materials in front of him seemed far less abundant than those of Emily, with only a few simple herbs. Despite this, he secretly made up his mind in his heart, “I must not be eliminated!”

"Leon, hurry up!" Emily's voice came from the side. She observed him with encouragement in her eyes. "We still have time. The key is the synthesis ratio of the potion. Have you looked up the classic formula?"

"Yes... I looked through some books in the library." He looked up at Emily and tried to sound calm.

"Then don't worry, just follow the proportions." Emily began to mix the materials attentively, carefully and cautiously. She whispered, "First, you need to mix the earring flowers and moon grass in a ratio of three to one. Remember to add some water, so it will be softer."

"Okay, I understand." Li Ang immediately began to imitate, but he was inevitably nervous: "Emily, you know a lot about healing potions."

"I have always been interested in potions," Emily smiled slightly, with a blush on her cheeks, "and you are a good apprentice, so don't give up!" As she spoke, she pointed at his mixing process with her finger and gave him guidance.

Time seemed incomparably long at this moment. The apprentices' figures intertwined in the candlelight. Some were silent, some were talking in low voices, and the black-robed wizard stood quietly by the side, examining everyone with his sharp eyes.

"Every time you mix a potion, you must stay focused," the black-robed wizard suddenly spoke in a stern voice, as if analyzing everyone's heart, "Remember, the success or failure of the potion is closely related to your concentration."

"Yes, teacher." Emily and Leon said at the same time.

As they adjusted the potion, they gradually relaxed. Leon tried several different mixing ratios and finally found a suitable formula. His fingers wandered between the bottles, looking for the right ingredients, and he silently recited the formula in his mind.

"I think I'm almost there!" Li Ang said excitedly, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Great! Then hurry up and don't be distracted!" Emily reminded him.

In the following time, Leon and Emily were almost completely focused. Their workbench was busy, herbs were constantly chopped, liquids were boiling in the pot, and the air was filled with fragrance and a faint bitterness. The other apprentices were also immersed in their own world, trying to make the perfect potion.

"Time is running out, come on everyone!" The black-robed wizard's voice sounded again, which made everyone feel a sense of pressure. Li Ang took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and continued to prepare the potion.

"Hurry up, Leon!" Emily's voice was like a shot of adrenaline, stimulating him to speed up his hands.

"I'll be there soon!" Li Ang quickened his movements, constantly adjusting the proportions, trying to combine each ingredient perfectly. The only sounds around him were the constant smashing of herbs and the faint sound of flames burning.

"I heard that you got into trouble a few days ago?" Emily suddenly asked, trying to divert Leon's attention.

"Well... I accidentally hurt my hand when I was collecting some herbs. Later I went to find medicine and learned a lot of things." Li Ang said a little uneasily.

"Are you okay now?" Emily asked with concern.

"I'm fine now, thank you." Li Ang smiled slightly. Taking this opportunity, the tension in his heart seemed to be slightly relieved.

As time went by, the black-robed wizard inspected the workbenches of each apprentice from time to time, occasionally stopping to observe the modulation process. His cold eyes seemed to be able to see through everyone's mind, and he calmly recorded the performance of each apprentice.

"Only half an hour left!" Someone shouted, and a sense of urgency instantly filled the air.

"Come on, I believe in you! You can do it!" Emily shouted firmly, with a light of hope flashing in her eyes.

Li Ang went all out in the final preparation. He quickly crushed the last herb with flexible and skillful techniques, silently reciting Emily's advice and experience, and tried to make each ingredient reach its best state. He knew that only by giving himself the greatest confidence could he break through this cruel test.

Finally, he dropped the last drop of water into the pot. In an instant, the liquid in the pot glowed with a faint light, the aroma of medicine lingered, and gradually outlined a few faint colorful light and shadows. Li Ang was excited and slowly took out the medicine and poured it into the prepared bottle.

"I...done it!" he whispered happily, with an exciting light in his eyes. He turned around and saw that Emily had also finished. She covered her mouth excitedly with a smile on her face.

"We did it!" Emily almost jumped up, with a happy smile on her face, "It's all worth it!"

The black-robed wizard nodded slightly, and once again glanced at the apprentices to confirm everyone's achievements, and then nodded. Leon and Emily held each other's hands tightly, full of expectations, and at the same time proud of the results in front of them.

"Whether the potion can pass depends on your efforts," the black-robed wizard's voice was like thunder, shaking the hearts of every apprentice, "Remember, the core of magic lies in your dedication and confidence."
