Chapter 1075: Combat, Learning, and Reflection
When an extraordinary being cannot kill a little witch who is not extraordinary in a short period, the situation is already determined.
This is not a simple battle; the focus is not only on the extraordinary blood clan and the witch, but also on all other extraordinary academies with conditions that are paying attention to this battle.
At first, they were just shocked by this lightning-fast battle, but when an extraordinary challenge from the witch contract was thrown out, the attention on the blood clan’s affiliated academy shot up several magnitudes in an instant!
Even though this battle has not yet reached its final result, many have already witnessed far too much.
Almost extraordinary reaction speed.
According to the intelligence gathered, that is the seventh sense of body cultivation, the sense of time.
What is the concept of sense of time?
Not many people know, and the only demonstration is… that so-called Bai Hua extraordinary witch, who could carry out a massacre within Dragon Blood Academy and leave abruptly, unstoppable by anyone; this is the result.
Then there are those who are on the brink of the extraordinary.
The level of their own life has touched real light, possessing the means to truly harm the extraordinary.
As long as this level encourages the secrets of the extraordinary, accumulating the life level, transcending the extraordinary becomes easy, especially when the opponent controls the field’s dimensional shape. Once they break through, they become extraordinary and sanctified!
A cross-border elevation, standing at the pinnacle of the void’s strongest.
Next comes the terrifying learning ability and comprehension ability.
Whether it is combat skills or spell application, they can see the opponent’s rapid transformation from awkwardness to mastery, as if there were an accelerator; what takes others decades or even centuries of accumulation and practice, the opponent swiftly achieves.
Then there is spell derivation… This ability tests talent and understanding the most.
The concept of derivation exists not only within spell sequences; various extraordinary means can continuously derive as long as there is a corresponding sequence, differing only in difficulty, which is also the “talent threshold” that has trapped countless powerful beings in the void.
While the void’s energy can be endlessly accumulated mindlessly, breakthroughs in means require intelligence.
Now they truly have to thank that witch named “Teacher Ji”; who told her that geniuses outside the world can accomplish such things?
Does lying not get any closer to reality?
If you won’t teach the students, why deceive them?
However, despite throwing blame around, this “monster” has already emerged before their eyes.
They must confront it.
Although they eagerly expected the blood clan duke to kill this little witch, the ongoing battle didn’t give them much hope.
One side continuously employs its means in an attempt to kill the other, while the other side is constantly self-educating in ways they cannot comprehend during the fight, visibly improving. Under this mutual growth, who will win is already clear at a glance.
They don’t know when it started, but they found that among all the actions of this little witch, even “countering an extraordinary” had to be deprioritized.
They consciously overlooked this, knowing full well that such things were nearly impossible in the void.
This shows just how shocking this battle has been for them.
“Uh oh! You…”
After a failed strike, the blood clan duke looked in disbelief at the flashing void rift.
His right arm was affected by this void rift, and the wound that was extinguished by the void couldn’t even be rapidly healed by his undying trait.
“How can your soul not be obliterated by a void rift?”
“Guess?” I replied lightly without elaborating.
It seems this blood clan has some closed-off news; they don’t know that my infinite magic power truly relies on my life clone to achieve it—my true self doesn’t have the chance to accomplish it, so I plan to use this opportunity to complete it.
From the beginning, I never intended to use the cheating tactic of the void rift to win the battle. This kind of combat had already been tested back when the ancient ice remains were still my life clone. Repeatedly testing this offers no significance to me.
So I’m merely using this battle to fulfill my body’s infinite magic talent construction. Furthermore, having absorbed my life clone’s construction experience, I might also need to optimize this talent of infinite magic.
After all, completion is one thing; perfection is another.
I don’t care how the outside world perceives my means, but I won’t indulge in the glory of what I have achieved.
“From now on… the combat situation has escalated!” Upon finishing my words, my form transformed into a pitch-black rift, resembling a shadow in the void.
This transformation left many in a daze.
Until finally, someone recognized it and shouted, “Damn! It’s that move! Run!”
This roar made both blood clan students and witch students who had already come to see recognize something was off and hurriedly turned to flee.
Previously, this move flattened a mountain and turned it into a basin for magic radiation to diffuse!
The area of the blood clan affiliated academy is certainly not as large as that mountain, meaning they must escape the academy and run far away to survive.
While those students blindly fled, I was evidently… the infinite magic power itself is merely a talent; the devastation it engenders through the attack means purely arises from the instantaneous “natural bloom” of magic, which creates a consequent disaster.
It displays in an uncontrollable form, just like a cataclysmic dream, which is a disturbance to the primordial dream world that triggers dream-like disasters in reality.
The talent of infinite magic disrupted the very concept of infinity in the void itself.
The infinite magic talent and the great spellbook allowed me to understand the inherent properties of “infinity” and “self-circulation” in the void through the void rift, but the void itself is not limited to these two concepts.
I simply can’t discover more.
The infinite magic I constructed with my life clone still primarily adopts the infinite property, utilizing the void’s infinite energy as a template for self-generated magic, while self-circulation primarily maintains the stability of talent manifestations.
The great spellbook, in contrast to my talent, mainly borrows the self-circulation concept, maintaining the permanent effect of the great spellbook, with the infinite trait as merely supportive.
Otherwise, if the infinite concept were to dominate the great spellbook, then the spell effects would transform into… the longer the power is accumulated, the stronger the spell effect until eventually, the vast energy becomes unsustainable and self-destructs.
That would be meaningless; for the powerful, an uncontrollable spell effect holds little significance.
The greater meaning of a spell is for the effect to exist permanently, while the limited supportive effect only proves “sufficient is enough.”
It led to the fact that initially, I consumed my domain using the infinity of the great spell, but other means could not borrow the energy of the great spell.
Now… infinite magic makes up for this.
Accompanied by my form resembling a shadow in the void, the long-anticipated second calamity of the sun did not occur.
Having had the previous attempts in the life forbidden zone and the successful experiments with my life clone, I gradually began to learn how to harness this uncontrollable talent.
Although this learning is not instant, this resultant disaster is somewhat controllable.
However, that does not mean those who exited the blood clan affiliated academy acted in vain; their departure provided us with a larger battlefield.
The power struggle between the blood clan’s bloodline power and spells gradually impacted the entire extraordinary academy!
This is not an exaggeration; the earlier battle in the Gruelossen Wastes with that extraordinary wizard unleashed ice and snow over the entire wasteland.
And this time, it is merely basic operation.
It is said that extraordinary beings possess the power to destroy a world, but annihilation is a means, not exclusive to the extraordinary. The wider the range of destructive means, the less likely it is to target an individual.
Clearly, this blood clan duke is already at his wit’s end.
His ascension to extraordinary gained him a leap in his own bloodline, but that does not mean his means have improved.
Empirically driven extraordinary beings can only be confined to their own understanding.
Since the onset of this battle, he has shown no learning awareness, only accumulating wisdom through experience—I’ve grown somewhat… uninterested.
Yes… fighting the extraordinary, I, a little extraordinary witch, am the first to find the combat dull.
Right now, I feel as if I am in a beast arena, watching powerful beasts with brute strength. Although their strength surpasses mine, I can toy with them at will.
“This blood clan duke’s state is somewhat unusual.”
After things have progressed to this extent, if the extraordinary cannot see the problem, then they might as well toss their eyes away.
This blood clan duke’s condition resembles that of a beast losing its reason; full of brute strength and blood energy, yet being manipulated back and forth by a bat little witch.
This is far from normal.
Soon, information circulated, and a fresh concept was learned.
Emotional Body Cultivation.
I didn’t intentionally hide this concept, nor have I excessively promoted it; for other extraordinary beings to acquire this information undoubtedly cost them a great deal.
“Emotional body cultivation… is also a kind of power created by this little witch herself, lacking a complete system.”
“How could an extraordinary being be guided by emotions to become like a pet, lacking judgment and reason?”
“It’s impossible. If such means existed, wouldn’t they be invincible? They transcend an extraordinary realm! Their mental powers are not on the same level; how could they possibly influence one another?”
“This is body cultivation! The most primitive and ancient system of body cultivation! She likely doesn’t just possess powerful comprehension and derivation abilities in spells, but also in body cultivation!”
“Don’t forget… she is also self-awakened body cultivation! Do you know what kind of perverse thing self-awakened body cultivation is?” another extraordinary being added at this moment.
Then, silence fell upon the crowd.
Discussions yielded no result, but the facts are laid bare in front of them.
This duel ultimately became this way; even if it’s not guidance through emotional body cultivation, it still indicates that this little witch masters other means. They’d rather believe that this is the effect of emotional body cultivation.
The sun rose, dispelling the darkness, heralding a dawn of hope.
Standing tall.
However, at this point, I did not end the battle.
Because this battle has led me to reflect more deeply, considering what assistances my Great Knowledge Tree can provide.
While I didn’t intend for the Great Knowledge Tree to derive offensive means to enhance my combat strength, its support in battle has always been indispensable.
Information acquisition, data analysis, tactical arrangements, learning assistance… that is the role brought to me by the Great Knowledge Tree.
But that is not enough!
The Great Knowledge Tree should hold more possibilities.
Of course, many of these thoughts are prompted by one matter.
I have somewhat succumbed to fear.
I haven’t refined or derived anything from the Great Knowledge Tree in a long time. I’ve accumulated quite a few ideas and inspirations, but they form no coherent system and cannot be put into action.
Yet this is not an excuse.
What other augmentations does the Great Knowledge Tree still have?
Yes, many, such as its derived skills and field order shaping the Wanlian Main Network Tree; it has similarly shaped root systems and power networks.
Many special existences can embody new effects and functions using skills derived from the Great Knowledge Tree.
So… can the Great Knowledge Tree complete a unique sequence derivation, achieving effects similar to that of a power network?
The answer is yes!
But I have yet to accomplish this.
Because I don’t want to replicate the complicated framework of professions, skills, etc., from the power network; that is too cumbersome.
Instead, I prefer a purer effect.
For example… passive skills?
Spells don’t have a concept of passive skills; even effects like power amplification or agility enhancement are the results of actively cast spells.
If we were to talk about passive effects, I feel that the “witch transformation” led by the magic source perfectly fits this concept.
Thus, if passive skills can’t work, I’ll change the terminology—let’s call it: an aura effect independent of spells?
