Chapter 805: The Conclusion of the Self-Generated Magic Topic
“Let’s call it a day here, Tan Han. Go back and rest well.”
“Huh? So soon? You said earlier that this might go on for several days and I need to keep my energy focused at all times,” Tan Han asked with some confusion.
“You did say that—it’s just a possibility. Experiments are always full of variables, and any plan must be arranged according to actual needs.” I shrugged and casually provided an explanation.
The actual situation was that everything was progressing unexpectedly smoothly. After the phase of data collection was completed, a period of time was needed for a break.
Each time interval was a self-improvement for Tan Han, significantly shortening the time consumed for perfecting self-generated magic.
After this conclusion, the time needed for Tan Han to perfect her self-generated magic no longer required a year, and moving forward, this time would continue to decrease based on progress, eventually shrinking to less than a month overall.
This was a significant leap.
“Well…,” Tan Han found it difficult to express any other opinions, “By the way, is it convenient to tell me what you mentioned about the adventure attempts… what exactly are you trying?”
“Of course, considering your safety is my priority, I personally believe you have the right to know,” I looked at Tan Han, knowing she would ask this.
“I am researching prototype self-generated magic; this is a special concept I proposed. Are you familiar with prototype spells?”
“I know about prototype spells.” Tan Han nodded; it was a basic knowledge point, and after interacting with Yi Rui and others, she had a more intuitive understanding of the distinctions and relationships between prototype spells and derivative spells. “But I’ve never heard of prototype self-generated magic.”
“That’s to be expected; self-generated magic hasn’t even appeared in the topics of the Witch Academy, let alone this concept of prototypes. However, understanding prototype spells is enough. You can consider our current self-generated magic as a prototype spell. A prototype represents the foundation; once you understand its operational principles, you can expand on it, even derive new forms. What I’m trying to do is roughly this, but it’s very difficult and may even be impossible to promote. I hope you can understand.”
“I get it.” Tan Han nodded.
“No, you might not understand yet.” I denied her statement.
“Huh?”
“You don’t realize the danger of what I just did. What I was doing earlier was like when I first dissected a spellbook; everything about it was unknown. I even completely destroyed a spellbook due to a misstep back then. If I had made even the slightest mistake just now, it would have been you! And the self-generated magic within you.”
“But I’m all right, aren’t I?” Tan Han shook her head and smiled gently, as if she had graciously accepted this fortunate outcome.
However, there really was no need for people to become anxious or scared about calamities that did not happen. Sometimes a person’s foresight, while avoiding dangers, can also cause significant worry.
“You can’t enjoy the benefits that come from the risks you are taking. I don’t think such behavior is beneficial for our current cooperation.”
“That statement… sounds like…” Tan Han hesitated to ask.
“Don’t doubt it; I’m just giving you benefits. You can take this,” I said, taking out a blue ice crystal.
“Huh?”
Tan Han was somewhat surprised that I had stated it so directly, but when she saw what I took out, she instantly became unsettled.
Because this was from the Frozen World!
“Familiar, right? Frozen World. This thing is useless to me, but I think it would be good for your protection.” I handed over the ice crystal.
This thing was a hot potato. At the moment Aipuli was promoted to extraordinary, it had slipped from her hands. To prevent it from falling into the hands of her family, I had retrieved it.
Moreover, I was not looking for trouble by giving this to Tan Han.
In addition to considering that I had no use for it, and that this object was related to fortune, I primarily wanted to use Tan Han to attract the attention of those in the academy who coveted the fragments of Extraordinary Knowledge.
If this thing were in my hands, they likely wouldn’t dare to act. But if it were with Tan Han… along with her existing Absolute Cold Wand, it could be said that Tan Han alone possessed two of the largest fragments!
The temptation of this was astonishing.
Though I had said that anyone who dared to touch Tan Han was targeting me, this was ultimately just a guarantee of mine.
Compared to directly provoking me, they seemed more willing to test my limits, and Tan Han was an excellent means of probing my boundaries.
At that point, everything could naturally push Tan Han to the forefront and showcase the advantages brought by self-generated magic and the impact of manifesting spells.
Of course, plans like this are rough and simplistic.
But all of this was costless. As for the Frozen World?
This thing was inherently troublesome, and it was given to me by that Betrayer Witch, so I naturally needed to find a way to get rid of it.
Otherwise, if it were to be plotted against, I would have somewhat set up a trap for myself.
Under my strong insistence, Tan Han ultimately could not resist and accepted it.
“Well then, I’ll temporarily keep this, but this thing is really too precious…”
“You’re only talking about its surface value. Once you obtain this, you will become more noticeable, even attracting more trouble. From that perspective, how do you think its value will change for you?”
“Valuable things are always coveted; that’s not surprising.”
“Fine—let’s say I was just saying it casually.” I didn’t dwell on it too much and quickly changed the topic. “By the way, Tan Han, do you know the technique for consolidating the Magic Source? You now have self-generated magic. Although the current progress may not help you consolidate the Magic Source, it won’t be long before you can consolidate it independently.”
“Not yet,” Tan Han shook her head.
“Then you can try this technique early. Do you need me to teach you? It’s just a handy task.”
“Really? Thank you in advance; I’ve actually been longing for this technique for a long time.” This was Tan Han’s heartfelt words; after all, who wouldn’t like the Magic Source?
Particularly for someone like her, who had already unblocked a limit of ten thousand, the value of this technique was immense.
“I’ll send you the information about this technique through the Great Knowledge Tree. Just make sure to pay attention to receive it.” I coordinated the memory and information regarding the technique of consolidating the Magic Source from the Great Knowledge Tree, along with my understanding and notes on this technique, and sent it over, “Alright, it’s been sent. By the way, are you leaving now?”
“Yes. Didn’t you say I could go? Are you changing your mind?”
“No, I just wanted to say to walk safely; I won’t see you off… Oh, almost forgot, we should agree on the time to meet next. It’ll help you arrange your schedule. Let’s say… two days apart. You don’t have to come tomorrow or the day after; you can return the day after tomorrow around eight or nine in the morning.”
“Two days is a really long interval for me?” Tan Han asked somewhat puzzled.
“Just reserving some buffer time. What if you have something important to do?”
“I don’t think there’s anything more important than self-generated magic at this stage. I can actually avoid some time-consuming matters in my life.”
“High awareness? Then I might just change it to a one-day interval.”
“So, how about it? A one-day interval is also fine.”
“Then let’s stick with a one-day interval; it doesn’t matter to me.” I looked at Tan Han and ultimately withdrew my previous proposal.
I really had been trying to slow down my life’s tempo, but sometimes I found others were just as intense as I was…
After sending Tan Han off, I began to attempt some basics related to infinite magic; however, these attempts weren’t very smooth, and I could only say that difficulties remained many.
Nonetheless, the experiments related to self-generated magic had somewhat entered a stable phase, and it was no longer something I needed to worry about.
I just had to wait for Yi Rui and the others to perfect the molding ceremony, and then I could systematically advance the subsequent perfection rituals.
Ultimately, I just needed to overcome the structural ceremony challenge, and I would have completely resolved the issue of procedural promotion.
Indeed, once experiments have definite results, all they require is time to stack; I would soon lose interest in them.
I am still the type who can maintain curiosity about many things to delve deeper.
It’s what one might call a lack of focus.
Even now, I can’t comprehend the kind of perseverance it takes to study the Great Spellbook, repeating the same tasks day after day for hundreds of years.
Even though I attempted to convince myself to accept it, I internally couldn’t understand this behavior. This is an instinct that stems from the heart; without personal experience, one cannot persuade oneself.
But since self-generated magic has quietly reached its conclusion in my heart, I must find something else to do.
That is to improve the “Soul Drawing” technique!
This is one of the two most important gains from my journey to seek fun!
Moreover, I haven’t interacted with the Fool Dream Clan for a long time. Although I’ve learned about their daily routines through the Great Knowledge Seed, I have essentially neglected them for quite some time.
I haven’t even visited the Witch Cat Café much. The most I’ve interacted with in the Fool Dream Clan have been Yu Lan, Yu Yun, and Yu Guo—these three little ones.
After completing the transformation of the initial mimetic soul technique, I had completely stopped managing them.
At most, I assisted in their dream projection abilities, among other things.
Now, it is indeed time to fulfill my promise to the Fool Dream Clan.
After all, I had promised to make the Fool Dream Clan a true life recognized by the Void!
Additionally, I had to repay Principal Mei for that investment: the two initial spell sequences.
Although I still haven’t figured out what’s worth focusing on in the initial Fool Dream summoning spell and the initial Fool Dream transformation spell.
The Fool Dream Clan isn’t particularly powerful; even if they transform into life, their essence won’t become any stronger and cannot be compared to those fire elementals or sirens.
So the main thing is still the prefix of “initial,” much like the prototype prefix.
Initial, ah… this concept is truly…
This reminds me of the Primordial Witch. I suppose the Primordial Witch must also have the Primordial Witch Transformation Spell and Summoning Spell… I wonder if there’s any connection with the concept of the Witch Race and the clones born from being promoted to an extraordinary witch.
……
The Wizard Academy.
The current environment within the Wizard Academy is exceptionally oppressive; however, for the low-level wizard apprentices, the academy’s environment is suffocating every single day, related to the teaching system and the hierarchical structure of the Wizard Tower.
One could say that the Wizard Tower is purely survival of the fittest—strong ascend, weak descend; here, even sympathy is a luxury.
Yet for the extraordinary wizards who govern this all, they face immense pressure.
And this pressure completely comes from the dreadful race of witches.
They are all extraordinary races; none have the right to be naive.
The peace of the Main World was hard-earned; although it was initially promoted by the witches, it is now these extraordinary races who must maintain it.
Not just the extraordinary wizards, but also the forest elves and those holy angels share the same sentiment.
They are well aware of what the witches want; when they forcibly inserted themselves into the Main World, they foresaw the witches’ covetousness for it.
The exposure of the restoration techniques for the Main World only laid bare their ambitions directly.
However, they were all just playing dumb, unwilling to confront the worst possibility.
And that is their complete expulsion from the Main World, followed by its total occupation by the witches.
Their only trump card, the “Navel of the World,” has become their lifeline.
They resemble those who maintain appearances, unwilling to admit their weakness, yet powerless to cope with the harassment and probing from the witches.
Even a single Betrayer Witch can make them lose their composure completely.
And the bad news does not end there.
After that Betrayer Witch left, they reluctantly confirmed the losses within the Wizard Academy; their most critical teleportation tower had sustained severe damage.
This is a spatial teleportation tower established by an extraordinary wizard who specializes in spatial techniques.
It is also the Wizard Academy’s most important transmission hub.
It enables short-range teleportation across the Void!
Despite being short-range teleportation, using the world as a relay node means it serves as a spatial linking project at the level of the Void!
However, to activate this method for teleportation requires an immense amount of extraordinary materials and energy, so under normal circumstances, only regular material information exchanges are accepted.
In simple terms, this is the vital hub through which the Wizard Academy currently communicates with the Game World!
After the commotion caused by that Betrayer Witch, this Wizard Tower has now fallen into a state of paralysis.
Even trying to restore material communication might take a long time, let alone relying on it to transmit fragments of Extraordinary Knowledge!
This could not help but lead the wizards of the Academy to believe that this was a planned surprise attack by the witches.
It further proved the witches’ determination to secure that piece of Extraordinary Knowledge, using this method to prevent them from sending it out of the Main World.
It could even be possible that this was a warning!
But regardless, they must confront these troubles.
The Game World can be ignored for now; after all, their chaos in the Game World was merely intended to distract the witches, and even that piece of Extraordinary Knowledge from the Game World was only a bonus; if they obtained it, it could serve as a bargaining chip.
What’s most significant is how to continue surviving under the upheaval initiated by the witches in the Main World.
As they say, the more guilty one feels, the more they act up; perhaps that’s how it is…
