Chapter 739: The Magic Source Body Cultivation Method is About to Breakthrough
As the final procedures for the volunteer application come to an end, various academies begin sending out their admission notices to students. The battle for talent in the new semester has just reached its peak.
However, not everyone is worth competing for among the Extraordinary Academies. Most individuals will spend a pleasant and uneventful holiday at home, only arriving at the Extraordinary Academy according to the scheduled enrollment time.
The remaining thrilling and story-filled competition for new students, along with the tumultuous enrollment process, belongs solely to the geniuses.
In such an environment, the Witch Academy is also making significant moves. Taking advantage of this holiday, the academy plans to renovate some areas within the Witch Academy, specifically… the outdoor arena of the Witch Academy.
This arena, the largest and closest to the center of the Witch Academy, has borne witness to countless passion and sweat, as well as too many victories and defeats and life and d*ath experiences. It has also hosted many events.
Before, this outdoor arena was just a venue for activities within the Witch Academy. However, since last year, everything has changed; it has begun to connect with other academies. Thus, this arena holds great commemorative significance.
The academy stated that there will be a major expansion of this arena, and it will not only serve as a venue for competitions among students but will also become the planting site of the first “Wanlian Main Network Tree” in the Core Realm of the Main World!
From now on, the coverage of the “Power Network” will no longer be limited to the Expanding Realm; it will gradually unfold within the Witch Academy as well.
It should be noted that the space where the Witch Academy is located is an additional space isolated by a curtain wall, so the root network of the Wanlian Main Network Tree will only spread within the Witch Academy.
As soon as one leaves the academy, the power network will be interrupted, completely isolating the extraordinary power within the academy.
The announcement of this project immediately sparked discussion among many people, as some were delighted while others were worried.
However, one thing is certain: the arena will welcome an unprecedented reform, that is, absolutely fair competitions in power!
Even though the arena has yet to release any battle modes related to the power network, many students believe that it won’t be long before the arena develops corresponding battle options.
The Witch Academy’s deep waters, once chaotic, will now be drained, and it will be clear who is wearing pants.
Those who once used spellbooks to hide their true abilities will ultimately be revealed in front of such a mirror.
In fact, when the final hunting mode of last semester was announced, many people had already anticipated this trend, but few expected the Witch Academy to act so quickly.
Moreover, what they did not know was that the update and iteration of the power network were also beyond their expectations.
…
At this moment, I am in the laboratory, listening to the gossip of the young girls around me, who are discussing the topic of the power network.
It’s no wonder they are paying attention; although they don’t care much about combat issues and seldom participate in arena battles, they are interested in another aspect.
That aspect is the announcement of the DIY spell mode on the power network.
As scholarly teaching assistants and group members focused on rune literature, spell analysis, framework construction, and ritual composition, they naturally pay attention to these matters.
The spell skills on the power network are all real spell structures, akin to a modular platform for creating spells, similar to a spellbook but easier to use.
I had this idea long ago, but back then, I intended to open up a free creation mode for spells for people in the Expanding Realm.
However, now, with the establishment of the Wanlian Main Network Tree Laboratory, the mentors there have realized my somewhat immature concept in a more complete manner!
And this is also a model the mentors hope to see.
If students are interested in this self-created spell on the power network, it builds a link to the later derivation thinking based on the spellbook!
The spellbook is still too high a threshold for the prospective witch students who are not yet extraordinary witches.
Only truly gifted students may be able to meet this threshold, and there are even requirements for their mastery of spirit vision. Spirit vision is one of the few shortcuts available to them; otherwise, why are spell modifications and derivatives so rare?
Is it really that they aren’t working hard enough?
Compared to these requirements, “giving up” appears to be more cost-effective.
However, under the involvement of this model in the power network, things will gradually change; no one can guarantee that this change will be good, and witches can only continue to trial and error, constantly correct.
But in such a grand environment, it is a favorable trend for Yi Rui and her group.
Naturally, the girls in the laboratory frequently concern themselves with these matters.
And I am also more aware of some other issues regarding the Wanlian Main Network Tree.
For instance… the power network in the Wanlian Main Network Tree of the Witch Academy is still structured upon my Field Order.
However, due to my “apparent d*ath” once, many witches have realized that it is too risky to base such an important thing on my power.
It’s not that they hope I d*e; rather, without my advancement to extraordinary status and being targeted by several extraordinary races, it is truly too dangerous.
Moreover… even if I advance to extraordinary, it doesn’t guarantee that I won’t d*e, so the model of the power network must not be singular.
However, under joint collaboration with my clones in the Wanlian Main Network Tree Lab, the issues concerning the power network are likely resolved.
After all, the foundational infrastructure of the power network, the “Wanlian Main Network Tree,” belongs to the derivation techniques of the Great Spellbook; not to mention that the spell effects of the Great Spellbook are permanent, the products of the derivation techniques are also unaffected by the existence of the Great Spellbook itself.
The only problem is that the architecture of the power network is on my field’s order.
This is its underlying framework; making changes is also very difficult. Moreover, without my “Knowledge Power” order, it is hard for other field orders to fit the model of the power network.
But solutions are always more plentiful than difficulties. If a common field order does not work, then other feasible field orders should be tried. With so many extraordinary witches in the Witch Academy, some of them who reach the Holy Realm should be compatible.
However, the final result is that while a substitute can be found, the original power network framework needs to be restructured.
It’s somewhat akin to some previous spells and skills needing to be debugged again to match the corresponding order of the power network.
Although this result may be somewhat unsatisfactory, in the end, it is an insurance. The meaning of mastering techniques is such; it may not be necessary, but it cannot be absent.
After all, I haven’t died yet, right?
Getting too entangled in this issue, many witches feel that it is somewhat similar to casting a curse for me to d*e; many have tacitly avoided mentioning this matter.
Mastering the “Techniques for Replacing the Order of the Power Network” is merely a way to provide an explanation for that “just in case”; now that the explanation is provided, the subsequent theme is how to ensure that this “just in case” will not happen.
Some skills are destined to be prayed by many from the moment they are born to never be used.
Just like now.
…
Now, I am in the laboratory.
In fact, I am currently practicing body techniques; however, after all these days, I have completed the resonance of the offensive body technique “Opening the Sky and Breaking,” but this is merely one-ninth of the task.
Combining this martial arts rune with the ritual battle dance rune, I now have some understanding of body cultivation, although I still lack a clear direction.
I appeared in the laboratory to regularly receive the experimental reports from Yi Rui and the others.
Although I have confidently handed over the Magic Source Body Cultivation Method to them, that doesn’t mean I am not curious about their progress and ideas.
After all, the Magic Source Body Cultivation Method represents a lot, including the initial body modification techniques for witch transformation and the derivation of the resurrection spellbook.
According to their current progress, the resurrection spellbook is constantly being augmented with other techniques in their hands, already evolving into another form.
In other words, it has already developed into a new derivative system of resurrection magic; it’s just that the name of this spell has not yet been changed.
They are waiting for the first successful confirmation of the Magic Source to officially rename this derivative resurrection spellbook.
And to initiate a series of subsequent refining processes.
Because even I can see that this spellbook is becoming bloated with all the attempts and derivations, no longer resembling a perfect spellbook with the most refined spell structures and rune rituals.
If this continues, this spellbook will eventually break, but the fact that it hasn’t collapsed even after being evolved to such an extent is sufficient to show that Yi Rui and her team are deeply versed in spell derivation.
“Sister Xiao Han~ Sister Xiao Han~ How’s it going? Our results are pretty good, right?” At this moment, a girl comes forward and hands me a shared rune; this is a supplementary document recording their experimental records, detailing their achievements during this time.
“Indeed, it seems we are not far from success.” I respond, somewhat surprised, as I look at the information presented.
If they continue at this pace, it won’t be long before they breakthroughs to the first stage of the Magic Source Body Cultivation Method—that is, completing active body cultivation with a Magic Source.
Currently, we have simply categorized the Magic Source Body Cultivation Method into five stages. The first stage is the breakthrough from nothing to something, and it is also the most important stage—completing the first ensures the possibility of a second, third, or even tenth…
Our stages are classified by a tenfold incremental method; this is not the final result but the provisional outcome at this stage.
Because our upper limit is set at ten thousand Magic Sources, according to this classification, it just barely reaches the fifth stage.
By the fifth stage, it will be necessary to complete the fundamental structure of self-generated magic.
Thus, the pressure now shifts to my shoulders.
They see hope now; what remains is to follow the steps methodically to achieve success.
And I… am still in the “understanding” phase, not yet seeing success.
Or rather, even if I see the possibility of success, perhaps it’s just a “hope” visible only to me, and they can only choose to “believe” in me.
“Yes~ Sister Xiao Han, can you come by the laboratory in a few days? We want to witness this historic moment together with you!”
“Sure.” I nod, not wanting to dampen their enthusiasm.
Though I know that this success is inevitable, for them, this matter has consumed a lot of their energy, and what they are doing now is far more troublesome than completing those topics under their mentor.
A significant success naturally deserves a grand ceremony for celebration.
I must say, from these experimental records, I can also feel their way of thinking, and some different sparks may collide with my own ideas.
After briefly exchanging data and bidding them goodbye, I leave amidst their reluctant gazes.
Although they are eager to prove themselves, having a leading figure provides a sense of security. However, they are rational and understand that I bear significant pressure, not insisting too much on my stay.
But… after leaving the experimental area, I do not immediately go to the body cultivation room to continue practicing my body techniques.
Instead, I choose to head to the teleportation hall to the Expanding Realm.
After the Witch Academy ordered the fulfillment of the contract and facilitated the transfer of influence with the Expanding Realm, this place has become quite deserted; the flow of people has notably decreased.
Originally, those people were hoping to make one last profit before the holiday deadline, but it is clear their expectations have fallen through.
The people of the Expanding Realm are not foolish. While there are many people there, the number of those coming from the Extraordinary Academies is ultimately limited.
Once they learned about the decisions of the “upper echelons” of the Extraordinary Academy, they would indeed be selfish.
After all, what they established there were interest groups, cultivating businessmen or exploitative capitalists; the nature of profit-seeking means they won’t consider the gratitude of helping them rebuild civilization.
Even if they still wish to entangle, what can they do? How many months of holiday do the students have left?
The people in the Expanding Realm are merely fragmented civilizations; their decay and rebuilding last only a semester. Those who can soar again are those who had a bit of courage and determination.
Of course, the more important factor is the intervention of the City Lord of Ninglan New City.
Ninglan Qiuyue.
This girl, who is both the City Lord and a student at the Witch Academy, has quietly completed her transformation in obscurity during this semester.
However, I did not come to the teleportation hall to handle matters in the Expanding Realm.
Rather, I am here to welcome my clones.
Those clones scattered in the Expanding Realm, bearing my appearance, have completed their missions.
So I do not plan to leave them in the Expanding Realm; I will only keep the beast clones and those who do not resemble me. Those clones will gradually influence the development of the Expanding Realm until it reaches my desired form.
As for these clones who look exactly like me… when they gather in Ninglan Square, they will create a strikingly beautiful scene that frightens many.
These clones will neatly line up and return to the Witch Academy.
Regarding how to arrange these clones…
The academy can accept the mystical creatures from the Witch Secret Realm running around inside it, including Fool Dream having a job at the Witch Cat Café.
There’s no reason to disallow these numerous clones that look exactly like me!
