He knew that the black-robed man was watching him everywhere, and at this moment, he was using this to push himself to a higher position. At the same time, the other apprentices were sitting around the fire, discussing the next trial in a low voice.

"Have you heard? The man in black robe seems to have a lot of opinions about Gerlin." Lisa flipped the scroll in her hand, a look of worry on her face.

"Yes, he always stares at Gerling, as if waiting for something." Thomas pondered, his eyes flashing with fear of the man in black robe.

"Don't be afraid, the black-robed man is just testing us." Irene tried to comfort them, but her eyes involuntarily glanced in the direction of Gerlin. At this time, Gerlin seemed to be concentrating on mixing the potion, with a mysterious smile on his lips.

Gellin felt happy, and raised his head casually, looking in the direction of the group of apprentices. His eyes met Lisa's by chance, and he felt a little uneasy. He immediately quickened his movements to attract their attention.

"Hey, everyone! What are you discussing?" Gerlin asked in a casual tone, his voice just being masked by the sound of the bubbling potion.

"Oh, Gerling, we were talking about the man in black robe." Thomas responded from the side, with uneasiness in his tone.

"The man in black robe? What's there to talk about with him? He's just a stubborn guy." Gerlin shrugged slightly to hide his inner nervousness.

"But his recent behavior is a little strange, especially his attitude towards you." Lisa's eyes flickered, immediately breaking Gerlin's relaxed atmosphere.

"I know what he wants to do." Gerling said it lightly, but his heart was already surging. "But I won't back down from this."

"What are you going to do?" Irene asked with concern.

"Let me come to your side, I'll show you something fun." Gerling smiled slightly, squeezed the potion bottle in his hand, and motioned them to come closer. He was eager to arouse their curiosity and achieve his goal.

Several apprentices looked at each other, but eventually walked over and surrounded Gerling. This gave him a sense of success. He gently shook the potion bottle, deliberately making the potion in the bottle make a few subtle hissing sounds, as if it was hiding some secret.

"Why do you care about these things?" Thomas asked with a frown, feeling vaguely uneasy.

"This is my new formula. It can make people enter a hallucination state for a short time." Gerling said mysteriously.

"Hallucination? That's too dangerous!" Lisa retorted, looking uneasy.

"Don't worry, as long as I handle it properly, nothing will go wrong." A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Gerling's mouth.

"Who do you want to try?" Irene looked at Gerlin curiously, trying to find out his true intentions.

"Of course it's the man in black robe! I'm going to teach him a lesson." Gerlin said slowly, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes.

"Isn't this a bad idea?" Lisa was shocked and quickly grabbed Gerlin's hand. "Do you know how powerful the black-robed man is?"

"That's what I want him to experience," said Gerling in a low but firm voice. "As long as he believes that he is lost in an illusion, things will become much simpler."

"But...what if he finds out?" Thomas felt uneasy.

"The man in black robe won't doubt me easily." Gerlin didn't care about other people's concerns at all, with only the carnival of victory in his heart.

The wise man calmly analyzed: "But we'd better be prepared just in case. I don't want anyone to get hurt."

"It's okay. As long as it's just an illusion, the impact won't be too great." Gerling waved his hands with disdain on his face.

At this moment, the sound of a man in black robes slowly approaching the door was heard. Gerlin's heart tightened, and he gave a hint with his eyes. Then, he slightly adjusted his posture, trying to make himself look natural. If he could convey that he was not afraid of the man in black robes, then he would win more trust in this game.

The man in black robe pushed open the door. His figure looked particularly mysterious against the backdrop of the fire. His cold eyes swept around and fell on Gerlin. "What are you doing?"

"Oh, nothing, just preparing new medicine." Gerling immediately came forward, his tone revealing a hint of respect.

"I hope you can stay focused." The man in black robe had a low and majestic voice.

Gellin felt pleased, and his mouth curled up, showing some pride. He encouraged himself to continue to perform well. This was his chance to fight back against the man in black robe.

"Yes, I will try my best." He said, but he was secretly thinking about his plan in his heart.

The apprentices sitting nearby watched nervously, as if waiting for an art performance to be staged. The presence of the black-robed man oppressed everyone's heart like imperial power.

"Your trial is about to begin, get ready." The man in black robe said coldly, and the subsequent silence made people even more nervous.

"We will." Lisa clenched her fists and tried her best to calm herself down.

"Gerlin, you've been in good shape lately." The man in black robe's gaze lingered on Gerlin, as if he wanted to find something on him.

"Thank you, I will keep working hard." Gerling felt a little relieved, but still suppressed the surge of pride.

"I hope you can apply my teachings to the fullest in the trial." The man in black robe said again and continued to walk towards the other apprentices.

The moment the black-robed man turned around, a sinister look appeared in Gerlin's eyes. He knew that the action he was about to launch would shine in this trial. As long as the black-robed man fell into his illusion, his plan would sweep in like a tide.
