Chapter 807: The Arrival of Principal Serena Palizel
After some commotion, the matters concerning Fool Dream in the laboratory quickly spread around.
Even Yi Rui made a special trip to check it out, leaving satisfied afterward.
It seems that Fool Dream’s popularity exceeds my expectations.
“By the way, Sister Xiao Han, why did you bring Fool Dream to the laboratory? I heard that they are your little assistants?”
“Well, I’ve said it many times… Fool Dream’s existence is a life topic I need to tackle, but having over a hundred Fool Dreams is simply too much. So I can only place them in the Witch Academy, allowing them to integrate into the lives of witches, and the three you see here are the representatives that voluntarily follow me.”
“Do they have names?”
“The one you are holding is Yu Yun, and these two are Yu Lan and Yu Guo.” I repeated their names for her; if they asked Fool Dream, she would willingly tell them.
After all, Fool Dream is just a cat that can communicate.
“Wait a minute… what do you mean by life topic? Is this something within the witch topics? I only know about the Soul Great Topic…” At this moment, someone suddenly caught the blind spot in my words.
“Oh, it just didn’t register before; a life topic? Sister Xiao Han, what exactly do you usually do… First, there’s the unknown Self-Generated Magic topic, and now it’s a life topic. Do you feel that the topics in the Witch Academy aren’t suitable for you?” Someone started to tease.
“Actually, it’s closely related to Life Interpretation, which is connected to the Self-Generated Magic of the great topics, but the research threshold is quite high, so general students won’t come into contact with it.”
“I knew Sister Xiao Han wouldn’t misspeak.”
Most people here may not have heard of the Life Interpretation related to the Soul Great Topic, but it doesn’t stop them from making exclamations.
But it’s nothing; if it weren’t for the Academy Head personally explaining it to me, I wouldn’t know what Life Interpretation is either.
This has already departed from the general topic scope; even those who pursue subtopics under the Soul Great Topic might not know this concept.
“Then Sister Xiao Han, do you need our help with this topic?”
“You should focus on finishing your experiments on the Self-Generated Magic topic; you don’t need to trouble yourselves with this one as it’s an agreement between Fool Dream and me.” I shook my head and declined their goodwill.
“Has it really risen to the level of an agreement? Alright, then I won’t interfere.”
“Indeed, so Sister Xiao Han, you go ahead with your work. We won’t disturb you for now~”
“By the way, Sister Xiao Han, can we take care of Fool Dream when you don’t need to trouble them? I really need Fool Dream’s healing!”
“That depends on their willingness.” I shrugged and said, “Yu Lan, do you want to?”
“Of course!” Yu Lan was the first to respond.
“Um! We may not be able to do much, but if we can help everyone in the laboratory, it’s also a contribution.” Soon, Yu Yun and Yu Guo also expressed no problem.
“You see~ Fool Dream said it’s fine!” They immediately said excitedly.
“Alright, but today they can’t be lent to you.” I also stated that it was fine.
“Can’t you make an exception for one?”
“If you keep this up, I might start to suspect that you have ulterior motives for Fool Dream.”
“Ah… forget I said anything!”
“Let’s go, go on with your tasks for today; tomorrow when I conduct experiments with Tan Han, I’ll let Fool Dream accompany you… hiss… saying that sounds a bit strange…”
“How about entrusting Fool Dream to us for care?” Someone corrected me at this time.
“Okay, entrusting you to take care of her, so don’t do anything too out of line with Fool Dream, alright?”
Thus, after the instructors left the laboratory, we welcomed new companions—three little Fool Dreams.
Once the noise subsided, I began to focus on the task at hand.
Since I had decided to carry out the transformation of Fool Dream’s life, I naturally had to take responsibility.
“How is the early preparation going?” I asked Yu Lan.
The tasks I handed over to Fool Dream were closely related to them—“memory.”
Memory is truly a fascinating concept.
It is an experience of a conscious existence regarding the things it has undergone, an absolutely subjective feeling, rather than an objective presentation, much less a continuous image.
Even the imagery presented is just one aspect of memory, a visual experience within perception; the sensations communicated through the basic five senses of life are also memories, and inner thoughts are likewise memories.
Even the feeling of time’s passage and the exploration of the outside space can be part of memory.
This almost corresponds to the five senses and sensory channels above the five senses.
From this, a simple conclusion can be drawn: memory has a strong relationship with body cultivation through perception, and perception channels exist directly based on the essence of life.
Thus, the relationship between memory and the concept of life is inseparable.
Similarly, Fool Dream’s “memory” will be just as important as her “consciousness.”
Moreover… shaping life requires not only the memory itself but also a capability to “perceive” memory; what concept can grasp memory?
Naturally, it is Fool Dream’s consciousness.
Thus, Fool Dream’s makeup consists of “consciousness + memory,” combined with Soul Drawing to shape the essence of life, and Fool Dream’s structure weaves into a seed of wisdom, taking root in the soil of the soul’s life.
This is a complex theoretical process, but I have the Great Knowledge Tree as my support to understand this process, which underpins my confidence.
However, theory is only theory; only practice on Fool Dream can reveal what is truly useful.
What is currently lacking is likely enough Soul Material.
I wonder when Millien will bring it over.
But before that…
I looked at the simulated information projected by the Great Knowledge Tree regarding the refinement of the Soul Drawing technique; it was almost at the finishing line, at least theoretically successful.
If the technique of Soul Drawing matures, this method could even help the essence of Soul Material’s life skip the Soul Great Topic and be shaped directly into the essence of the soul!
“Alright, let’s try it now; once the Soul Material arrives, we will officially start the experiment.” I said to Fool Dream.
What I was about to experiment with was the organization and processing of Fool Dream’s memories.
Fool Dream has no other means but the Great Knowledge Seed I provided, and only I can use Soul Drawing and Wisdom Endowment to perform final preprocessing on these memories.
……
Days went by.
Tan Han had already visited the laboratory several times; her progress with Self-Generated Magic had been somewhat beyond my expectations.
Originally, according to the time I estimated, it would take around a month for Tan Han to complete her Self-Generated Magic and reach a perfect prototype level. However, only three or four recording points have passed, about seven or eight days in total, and Tan Han’s completeness of Self-Generated Magic has already reached a level where she can easily condense a complete Magic Source.
It seems that during her spare time, Tan Han has been delving into the technique of condensing Magic Sources; otherwise, with no foundational knowledge, she wouldn’t have mastered it so quickly and moved toward proficiency—this is deserving of the title genius.
I believe in the end, Tan Han might need just over half a month to perfect her Self-Generated Magic directly.
Moreover, if the “refinement ceremony” is used again, the time might be reduced to about three days to perfect the prototype of Self-Generated Magic.
“Today, you’ve set a new record again; the efficiency of this refinement is a bit astonishing.” I looked at the vibrant Magic within Tan Han; even without using the identification technique, I could feel Tan Han’s transformation.
“Indeed! By the way, Xiao Han, how far do you plan to perfect this ceremony?” Tan Han nodded, even astonished by her own power.
This kind of magic, not sourced from the Magic Source but surging from within, feels absolutely exhilarating!
Plus, the mental power managing magic has removed the previous barriers, making her feel an immediate urge to unleash some spells to vent her excitement.
“I obviously hope to do it as quickly as possible. I’ve witnessed witches advance to the extraordinary; the process of Self-Generated Magic from birth to perfection only took a few hours, and I really hope to achieve that effect.”
“A few hours for the entire process? Honestly, there’s no need for this technique to reach such a level, right? It’s like learning to embody a spell, which usually takes several days to initially grasp…”
“Is it supposed to be like this all the time? If someone claims they want to create a learning technique that allows you to grasp embodiment spells within a few hours, would you support her?”
“…” This time, Tan Han was stunned by my words, “As expected, your thinking is beyond my understanding, so I will support you. Although I can’t say it will definitely reach that level, I will accompany you in the experiments until you are satisfied.”
“That’s great~ But today’s data is nearly finished. Do you plan to stay in the laboratory for a while longer?” I asked, then added, “Yesterday, I learned that Yi Rui and the others have made new breakthroughs concerning shaping ceremonies, so she plans to act as an experimental subject to remodel the shaping ceremony. I intend to take this opportunity to help Yi Rui and see if she can complete the structure of self-generated magic at once.”
“Has Sister Yi Rui reached this stage too?”
“Yes, her obsession with Self-Generated Magic exceeds yours. Are you willing to go watch?”
“Of course, if you don’t think I’m a hindrance, I would love to witness the birth of the second success from the sidelines.”
“Then let’s go.”
I set down what I was holding, gently waved my hand to integrate the information projections from the Great Knowledge Tree, and merged them with previous data.
All this information is precious, collected during the gradual refinement of the Self-Generated Magic Physique!
It aids me in understanding the deeper concept of Self-Generated Magic and assists in deriving infinite magic.
When I brought Tan Han to the experimental area where Yi Rui and the others were, they were in the midst of making various preparations.
Their information collection platform built with the Great Knowledge Seed and data monitoring system was running smoothly, and various research materials were being calculated using the Great Knowledge Seed’s information woven light screen.
Every time I saw them utilize the Great Knowledge Seed to this extent, I couldn’t help but marvel.
This setup is completely different from my research approach; I still prefer using the Great Knowledge Tree as a medium for conscious reminders, while they favor this more direct presentation format.
Perhaps this is how our philosophies differ.
They are better at collaboration, while I prefer to ponder alone; it’s hard to say who is better or worse.
However, the power of many is undeniable; I admit my leadership talent is lacking, so I rarely interfere with Yi Rui’s team, keeping more direct communication with Yi Rui, who is responsible for relaying and arranging things.
“Sister Xiao Han, have you finished your work?” Upon seeing me, someone immediately stepped forward to greet me, and many also paused to look in my direction.
“About that, the progress is quite promising. How about you all?”
“We are almost done too~”
“By the way, where’s Yi Rui? I don’t see her. Wasn’t she going to refine and perfect the shaping ceremony with herself?” I looked around to confirm that I hadn’t missed her; indeed, Yi Rui was not here.
“Sister Yi Rui is busy preparing; earlier, she mentioned she needed to adjust the new micro-operation resonance method according to her own situation. She said this is the only way to match the new shaping ceremony.”
“Personalized customization? Interesting; it seems Yi Rui has put a lot of thought into this attempt.” Hearing what they said, I couldn’t help but marvel.
However, the higher the hope placed, the greater the impact of potential failure. I certainly don’t wish for Yi Rui to fail, but success and failure aren’t something I can dictate.
Especially given the shaping ceremony… it’s the only ceremony from that extraordinary ascent event where I didn’t gain many insights.
Thus, because of the shaping ceremony, the topic of Self-Generated Magic is ultimately still stuck at the tail end, not completely perfected.
Otherwise, we might already conduct small-scale tests and proceed to overall optimization.
Just as I was discussing various details concerning the new shaping ceremony with these sisters, a noise suddenly came from the laboratory’s door.
“Uh? Did someone go out? Or is it Millien…” I looked up curiously, but I quickly dismissed the idea of Millien; if she had gathered the Soul Crystals, she would have informed me beforehand and then met me in the laboratory.
“It’s Sister Yi Rui; she said she wanted to call Instructor Belika to witness this moment together.”
“Does Yi Rui also have this kind of interest?” I looked over with curiosity, only to find that the person walking in front was neither Yi Rui nor Instructor Belika.
Instead, it was… Principal Serena Palizel!
Following her was Instructor Belika, and finally, Yi Rui came after them.
“Principal Serena, what brings you here?” I quickly stepped forward to welcome her.
Many of the sisters in the laboratory were seeing Principal Serena Palizel for the first time, so I naturally needed to remind them. If they waited until they each used the Earth Vein Identification Technique to realize that the person before them was the Academy Head, how impolite that would be.
The extraordinary perception of the Earth Vein Identification Technique is quite sharp, so that would be very disrespectful.
“Due to various coincidences, I came over, and I also wanted to see how the Self-Generated Magic promotion project you are leading is progressing.” Principal Serena, upon seeing me, revealed a hint of a smile amidst her otherwise calm expression.
