A massive mudslide occurred in the heartland of the Fighting God Island, the hot spring mountain. This is a major disaster that has not occurred in decades. The high-ranking officials of the Academy were unusually angry, as they did not believe that a natural disaster could happen on the hot spring mountain. They were certain that the mudslide was caused by human intervention...
Oh, these are not the things that Du Chen should be concerned about. What he needs to do is the same as other students - curse at the black-faced devil while carrying on with his intensive training, which was interrupted for a few days because of this damned disaster.
After everything calmed down, Du Chen, like other students, cursed at the black-faced devil while continuing his intensive training.
On January 1st, Year 1278 of the Meteor God Calendar, Du Chen, who was sixteen years old, began his student life and truly entered the world of the Fighter God.
In the early morning, Du Chen lazily climbed out of bed. Xuebi Ren Hari had already prepared his toiletries and breakfast. However, Du Chen did not use the mouthwash prepared by Xuebi Ren. As he put on his clothes, he opened his mouth and said, "Water Ball!"
'Plop!' A ball of clear blue water appeared in his mouth - this was the credit of Mina and Philip. With the convenience of his gifted water body, Du Chen became a Level 1 Red-Clothed Water Mage in the shortest amount of time.
"Oh, Master, you are so amazing!" Hari flattered as always, while holding up a small bundle in front of Du Chen. "The morning session is the Fighting God Language. Everything is prepared for you!"
"Okay!" Du Chen spat out the mouthwash, picked up his backpack, and bit into a piece of bread as he walked out the door.
When it came to the Fighter God Language, Du Chen felt extremely frustrated. It was not a language for everyday communication, but rather one of the components of the strength of the mage fighters. It was similar to magical incantations and was related to the recruitment of divine pets by the Fighting Gods and the manipulation of natural energy. Therefore, the Fighting God Language was also a symbol of the strength of a Fighter God.
However, there was a rule in the Academy that made Du Chen extremely disdainful of the Fighting God Language course - this language was divided into levels, and if you didn't pass Level 6, you wouldn't get a graduation certificate!
There were rumors that every year, female classmates would kick their boyfriends because they didn't pass the level of the Fighting God Language. The popular phrase at that time was, "You didn't pass Level 4 of the Fighter God Language? It's over!"
With a deep grudge in his heart towards this course, Du Chen arrived at the teaching area of the Water Pavilion. Vice Dean Philip was standing in front of a crystal building with a smile on his face.
"Francis, you're here! I've been waiting for you!"
Du Chen hurriedly greeted him. "Tutor, you could have just sent someone to inform me. Why did you personally wait for me?"
"Hehe, I happened to have time!" Philip led Du Chen into the building, but they were not heading towards the classroom. "I have something to discuss with you, let's go to my place first!"
"But I have classes this morning!"

"Alright, Francis, I've witnessed your memory before. You don't need to attend these basic cultural classes. I can give you full marks directly!" Philip's words made Du Chen's heart beat rapidly. Although the vice dean was not as uptight as Zig, it was still unheard of for him to give a student full marks. He must have had a request.
After arriving at the vice dean's room and taking a seat, Philip smiled and said, "Francis, are you interested in alchemy?"
"To be honest, I don't know much about alchemy!"
Philip smiled and took out a small bottle from under the huge mahogany desk in front of him and handed it to Du Chen. "Your mother was very interested in alchemy. Here, this is one of her works." As he spoke, he looked towards a cupboard on the side of the wall and sighed, "Faye's alchemy has already reached the top level on the continent. Unfortunately, she couldn't create a potion to save her own life."
There were several portraits displayed on the cupboard, including one of Du Chen's mother, Faye.
Du Chen looked at the small bottle in front of him and reached out to open it. "No, don't open it. It's very dangerous!" Philip waved his hand and said with a smile, "Faye called this substance Water Condenser. It is made using the principle of transformation of natural energy. Just a drop of it can turn anything into water!"
Damn it! Was Philip hinting at something again!?
Du Chen suddenly remembered the killers who captured him and Arthur during their intensive training. They were turned into water.
Philip continued, "Faye originally created the Water Condenser to help water mages quickly gather water elements, but she never expected that later on, many people would use it to cover up their crimes."
Du Chen laughed and said, "Great inventions are always a double-edged sword, with both good and bad outcomes. It depends on how the users utilize them." Could those killers have been disposed of using the Water Condenser?
"You're right, great inventions are always a double-edged sword, and now, I am conducting an experiment of this kind." Philip placed his hands on the desk and stared at Du Chen. "I would like to invite you to participate. If this experiment is successful, many people will benefit from it, and you will have done a great deed, fulfilling the oath of the Fighting Gods!"
Upon hearing the phrase "doing a great deed," Du Chen became interested, but he still expressed reservations. "Tutor, please tell me, I will help if I can."
Philip did not rush to reveal what the experiment was. Instead, he slowly said, "Actually, I have been conducting this experiment for many years. Your mother used to be my assistant in this experiment."
He paused for a long time before continuing, "My experiment is... hehe, it's very complex, composed of many small projects. And one of these small projects is to change a person's talent!"
Changing talent? And it's just a small project?
Du Chen was secretly surprised. It seemed that Philip was unwilling to mention more to a student he had not known for long. But even this "small" project was enough to astonish people.
"Experiencing the change of talent firsthand, you can provide me with a lot of help. How about it? Francis, are you willing? Don't worry, there won't be any danger."
Damn it, this old scientific madman wants me to be a guinea pig!
However, his mother was also his assistant and participated in this experiment...
This was an opportunity to understand Faye and, in turn, understand the Skin Stripping Fighter God.
"Alright, it would be my honor to serve you, Tutor!"
Philip smiled contentedly. "You look exactly like your mother did back then! Wait a moment, I have something to give you!" He stood up and went to the cupboard, taking out a small box from inside. "These are the experimental tools your mother used. They're yours now. There are also some notes she left behind. Take your time to study them when you have the chance!"
After receiving the box, Du Chen chatted with Philip about some trivial matters. By the time their conversation ended, he looked at the sky and realized it was already noon.
Du Chen walked out of the teaching building in Upperwater Pavilion, holding his mother's belongings. Along the way, his mind never stopped pondering.
His mother was still the top alchemist on the continent. It was truly unexpected.
Moreover, she participated in what could possibly be the greatest experiment in the world of Fighting Gods.
But no one had ever told her three sons about these things, and there were no memories of alchemy left in the St. Cain Manor!
Du Chen's mind was in chaos.
As he left the teaching area, Du Chen headed towards the city area near the docks, hoping to find a hotel for lunch. However, just as he entered the city area, suddenly, his buttocks began to itch!
