Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?

Chapter 748: Prototype of the Magic Power Source Body Cultivation Method

Currently, according to the information obtained by my player clone, these players generally have missions when they invade a world.

It is just like in that small world of the Star of Sin previously; the Main Quest was to find that [Transcendent Knowledge], which they called the tech core.

The Main Quest has the highest priority, while actions such as “conquering the world” or “launching a world war” are merely Side Quests.

In the Main World, they are still in a state of having no Main Quest, meaning they have no long-term goals, only short-term ones, such as integrating into families to collect data and so on.

Actually, what they want to do is touch upon the truth of the Transcendent Academies.

During the college entrance examination some time ago, the reason they did not collect Destiny was primarily because they lacked a leader to guide a team to do so.

Therefore, they shifted to replacing newcomers and infiltrating Transcendent Academies.

I do not know the situation in other Transcendent Academies, but in the Witch Academy, almost all the enrollment procedures are controlled by my clones.

I have already secretly dealt with several batches of newcomers with player identities.

And these were only the students who were kidnapped; furthermore, those players cannot confirm exactly who is qualified to be kidnapped into the Academy in advance.

Consequently, there were actually a relatively large number of players among the students who took the initiative to enroll early.

I naturally told Mentor Banaier about this matter immediately back then.

I thought Mentor Banaier would have some plan, such as not doing anything secretly first and leaving them to be dealt with in a large wave later.

However, Mentor Banaier’s meaning was... to deal with them directly without leaving any traces.

Therefore, I have reason to suspect that this mentor intentionally kept my clones here to guard the Academy gates.

And this also represents that the Witch Academy does not want to play a game of cat and mouse with these infiltrating players, but rather issues a warning through direct kills!

Although to other students, I dealt with these players secretly, in the players’ information channels, this method of certain death and letting no one go is a way of killing a chicken to warn the monkeys.

Otherwise, when school officially starts later and the wave of newcomers arrives, it would be far too troublesome to deal with players mixed among the newcomer groups.

It can be said that my actions have effectively curbed players from infiltrating the Witch Academy.

At least the news my player clone inquired about all warned not to enter the Witch Academy.

Therefore, for a period during the second half of the holiday, the once rampant players almost ceased appearing in the Witch Academy.

And something else I cannot ignore is another matter.

That is the attitude of other Transcendent Academies toward players... although I am not clear on the specific situation, at least their crackdown is not severe.

My player clone has not even received warning prompts like “do not enter.”

If it were said that players’ identities are hard for non-transcendent students to recognize, I would find it reasonable, but it is nonsense to say that mentors cannot recognize them.

Therefore... to a certain extent, it is already a settled matter that other Transcendent Academies have some kind of relationship with that game world.

But strangely, my player clone has consistently been unable to obtain exactly what that relationship is.

Combining the information revealed by Academy Head Mei, it is highly likely a joint announcement, but for this kind of alliance, players without sufficient status generally seem to be unaware.

After all... once those Transcendents come into contact with the game world, they would certainly find it most efficient to contact the high-level figures of that world.

And regarding the information revealed, the high-level figures would certainly not announce it to the low-level people to avoid disrupting social order.

Therefore, this reflects the awkward situation of my clone.

The intelligence she obtains is, for me, aside from satisfying a certain curiosity, otherwise... quite tasteless.

...

“Xiao Han, here we come?”

The half-open door of the Physical Arts Training Hall was pushed open, and a figure tentatively walked in, followed by several girls.

“Finally here. Over here.”

Hearing that familiar voice, I also immediately stood up, putting aside some thoughts about the information obtained by the clone.

Perhaps because there were several mentors here, Yi Rui and the others were still a bit unnatural after entering, even being somewhat constrained when greeting these mentors.

At least they seemed quite at ease when in front of the familiar Mentor Belica and the others.

I suspect they do not really know these Body Cultivation Witches.

However, I feel that after they spend more time together, they will be quite easy to talk to, and they carry that unique purity characteristic of Body Cultivators.

“Oh? Are you the companions Xiao Han spoke of? You don’t seem to have much of a foundation in Body Cultivation.”

Several mentors also spoke up from the side.

Yi Rui and the others have, after all, only just begun basic Body Cultivation not long ago, so naturally, no obvious changes can be seen.

“They have all only recently come into contact with Body Cultivation, but that is nothing. Do not look down on them; they are all founders of the Magic Power Source Body Cultivation Method.”

I also hurriedly explained for them, as Yi Rui and the others have put a lot of effort into the Magic Power Source Body Cultivation Method.

And today, I am going to conduct a more complex attempt.

After a round of greetings and exchange, I did not engage in any more superfluous talk.

Everyone likes to act directly without procrastinating.

The explosive presence of the Body Cultivator’s unique mobility and execution power is not just talk.

“Then we won’t waste any more words. Let’s begin the foundational architecture of our most basic Magic Power Source Body Cultivation Method.”

I said, looking at everyone.

“We will start from the most basic. You should be able to feel the current positions of your own Magic Power Sources, right?”

“Of course. Inside the body. Is there anything you need us to do?”

“Um, good.”

I nodded and did not over-correct.

The primary position of the Magic Power Source is, in essence, upon the Earth Vein Chains.

However, the Earth Vein Chains are an abstract concept, yet they truly exist.

Back then, I traced my own Earth Vein through spellbooks and Magic Power Sources, perceived the Earth Vein River, and confirmed Earth Vein Information, thereby perceiving the information of the Earth Vein Chains within the torso.

Therefore, I am very clear that the Earth Vein Chains are a concept that penetrates every microscopic detail of the torso.

The illusion given is that the Magic Power Source is borne upon the torso.

But precisely because of the close relationship between the Earth Vein Chains and the torso, the Magic Power Source can achieve a connection with the torso under the effect of the Witch-transformation Reconstruction Metamorphic Spell.

“Then feel the Magic Power Sources within the torso. They should be resonating now, right?”

“Oh? So it’s this method? If there is no way to bear a Magic Power Source oneself, then learning the Magic Power Source Body Cultivation Method will be very difficult.”

A mentor watching from the side commented.

Just from hearing the words, one could tell that this mentor had seen the key to the problem.

“It can’t be helped. They are Reserve Witches, after all. But they still overcame this difficulty by relying on their own wisdom and practice.”

I said from the side.

Although I told the various Body Cultivation Witch sisters that my Body Cultivation Method is suitable for Reserve Witch students.

However, these witch sisters are themselves Transcendent Witches who can bear Magic Power Sources, so they simply cannot empathize with the amount of effort those students must put in and the difficulties they must overcome to learn like this.

“I know. Xiao Han, you mentioned it to us. I still remember you want to obtain the Self-generating Magic Power talent in advance, right? But I don’t think practicing a Body Cultivation Method can obtain this kind of capability at the foundational level of a Witch.”

At this time, another mentor commented based on her own experience.

“That’s why we are still constantly trying.”

I did not refute this witch sister.

After all, she is not a professional in this field, does not understand the process, and is unclear on the principles.

Arguing is meaningless.

Since that is the case, I followed her words to avoid unnecessary conflict.

“True, then I wish you success.”

This witch sister also shook her head.

Although she understood nothing, she still offered her blessing.

After all, in their view, Witches’ experiments always cause quite a stir.

To achieve something impossible, such as letting a Reserve Witch obtain the Self-generating Magic Power talent which breaks their common sense, the starting commotion should be as large as possible.

Rather than thinking one can succeed by merely practicing a Body Cultivation Method here.

Ending the small talk with the mentors, I continued to look at Yi Rui and the others.

Subsequently, I used the Great Tree of Knowledge to share a Magic Power Source positioning architecture with them, or rather a ritual diagram arranged with Magic Power Sources as nodes.

“Can you understand it? It’s roughly using this method, employing your resonance method to form this 3D ritual architectural pattern.”

“This... is a bit complex.”

Yi Rui said.

After all, for the resonance method they master to form such a complex ritual architecture without a single accident, while using their own bodies as the carrier... it is truly difficult.

“Which means it is possible, right?”

“Yes, of course it is.”

Yi Rui nodded and said firmly, but at this moment she also had many questions to ask.

“But I still have some questions I want to ask.”

“It’s fine, ask away.”

I nodded and said.

It is only normal for Yi Rui and the others to have questions; otherwise, if there were no questions, I would truly be afraid of them running into trouble.

“These nodes... clearly exceed the number of Magic Power Sources we are currently resonating with...”

“Oh, this is just a rough prototype ritual diagram I made. The number of Magic Power Sources you master is definitely not enough. But I have extra notes on there. According to your own situations, I have labeled the weight of each ritual node; sort them by weight accordingly. It doesn’t matter if it’s not enough; just take it slow. We cannot complete such a large-scale ritual composition in one go.”

“Is it just an initial prototype?”

Yi Rui confirmed once more.

“Yes, and success cannot even be guaranteed yet. I need constant experimentation to make more precise adjustments. How is it? Disappointed?”

“How could we be disappointed?”

Yi Rui shook her head.

“We are very clear on what we are doing. If you said from the start that this was the success you spoke of, I would even doubt if you were lying to me.”

“As long as you understand. Then let’s work hard together.”

I looked at everyone with a smile and an expectant look.

Actually, I have already experimented with these Magic Power Source Body Cultivation Methods on myself.

While I cannot guarantee anything else, there won’t be much danger, at least safer than when I researched the Metamorphic Incubation spell back then.

Regrettably, I already have Self-generating Magic Power.

The Magic Power Source architecture ritual of the Magic Power Source Body Cultivation Method can only produce strong resonance with my Self-generating Magic Power physical talent, but it cannot prove that it can construct this ability in someone without Self-generating Magic Power.

This kind of constructing a precise ritual within one’s own body, coordinating it with using Magic Power Sources to form runes and arranging the ritual pattern, is very troublesome.

And they cannot directly bear Magic Power Sources, so they can only rely on the resonance method they master to constantly adjust.

Therefore, for their one hundred Magic Power Sources, just the architecture took a very long time.

However, the thing I lack least is time.

Being able to calm down and patiently do one thing is a very fulfilling matter.

My previous success was very efficient, but now I find that the joy and accomplishment brought by a success achieved over a longer time cannot be compared to those previous successes no matter what.

“How does it feel?”

I looked at Yi Rui, who was the first to complete it, and inquired.

Immediately, my gaze turned toward the others whose movements were slightly slower.

“Don’t be in a hurry, take it slow. If you are too rushed, I might not be able to teach you one by one. So rather than finishing in a hurry, it’s better to spend the unnecessary waiting time afterward on polishing the details of the ritual architecture.”

After advising them and telling them not to have too much psychological pressure, my attention returned to Yi Rui.

The speed at which Yi Rui completed it did not exceed my expectations.

She is not only the representative and leader of this group, but it is also because of her ability and talent.

Therefore, after completing it, she also had many questions in her heart that she wanted to ask me.

Actually, even if Yi Rui didn’t ask these questions, I would have said them.

They are willing to join this big pie (plan) I painted for free; naturally, I do not want to hide anything from her.

However, not everything I tell her will be understandable to her.

But for this experiment, data and such, I also need to collect.

I need to make constant adjustments based on the feedback from Yi Rui and the others.

And while conducting this data collection, Yi Rui would also ask some other questions.

From these questions, I could also hear her concerns.

“Xiao Han, just as you said, there is still the coordinated physical arts practice later. This practice should refer to the ritual operation conducted with the body as the carrier, in coordination with this component ritual, right?”

“Pretty much. You can understand it that way, but you cannot only understand it that way.”

I spoke.

“True. Having walked to this step, a gap has completely opened between us. Because I’ve found that I’ve begun to be unable to understand what you want to do. Although I’ve heard you say more than once that this is constructing the framework for Self-generating Magic Power, you understand... that is only a general concept, not the specific method to be performed.”

“So... what’s wrong? Feeling frustrated in your heart?”

“No. Acknowledging the gap between oneself and others is also a form of bravery. Actually, what I want to ask is... how many Magic Power Sources are needed to construct complete Self-generating Magic Power?”

“The fact that you can ask this question shows that your understanding is already quite deep.”

I said with a smile.

“But regrettably, I cannot give a guarantee.”

“Meaning you cannot confirm either whether the nodes of this architecture exceed ten thousand?”

“Correct.”

“Then... do you have a solution?”

“Yes.”

“No wonder you appear so calm. Have you even thought of this? You truly deserve the name of genius, Xiao Han.”

“Alright, let’s let the stage of praising pass. We are about to enter the process of repeated adjustments now.”

I shook my head, even feeling somewhat indifferent to Yi Rui’s praise.

To be honest, after praise has satisfied a certain vanity, the rest is only noise.

I do not really like the feeling of being praised.

Looking at it more rationally, it is a type of praise from a superior to an inferior, or a kind of flattery from an inferior to a superior, but in essence, it is emotional dominance.

I didn’t like it much before, though I wasn’t quite sure why.

After having the sixth sense Heart Sense, it is even more so.

Therefore, I instinctively feel some resistance.

Even though I am very clear that the other party’s praise is a heartfelt one, completely without reservation or ill intent, objectively it truly has an impact on me.

This is the instinct left to me by my past cognitive methods, a conditioned reflex that whenever someone praises me, that person has something to trouble me with.

Sure enough, the shadows of the past need the rest of one’s life to heal.

This is not a joke, but a curse that manifests in every aspect.

And now, I am healing this wound bit by bit in the way I like.
