Chapter 206: The Underestimated Teleportation Summoning Spell Spellbook

“That Little Han left really fast.”

After watching her leave, Tan Han and the other three remained where they were.

Some people could just leave, and that was because they had a foundation of strength, while others stayed here because they needed further planning to ensure they could provide their own value to this exchange competition.

Besides, Minian was still here.

She had just arrived and missed the Witch Tea Party, and she didn't understand what had just happened.

Some things required communication to be understood, otherwise, mutual guessing would only deepen misunderstandings.

That was why the Wizard Academy's possession of a communication device was so concerning.

“Um… since we need to form groups, how should the four of us split up?”

At this moment, the other three besides Tan Han were also very conflicted.

When it came to grouping, naturally, each of them wanted to be with Tan Han.

At least with a powerful companion, they wouldn't have to worry about safety.

“I will take the qualification I just designated and head to the Wizard Tower area to investigate the situation. I estimate that I will encounter many people from other academies there, so following me won't be entirely safe.”

Tan Han saw the current situation and spoke up.

Suddenly hearing this, the three of them immediately had their own considerations.

“What Big Sis Little Tan is responsible for is more important. I can't ride a flying broom yet, so I won't be a burden.”

Hedi was the first to speak.

“Then I'll accompany Hedi. I haven't gotten my license either. I can walk with her slowly and get used to flying along the way,” Su Ningmu also said.

“But Su Ningmu, your injuries…”

“I will help heal your injuries before we proceed.”

Tan Han also spoke, “Minian, you come with me. You just arrived and don't know the situation. I'll explain it to you on the way.”

“Then… alright then, I'll reluctantly go with Tan Han, okay?”

Minian said with a smile, but this didn't mean she could rest easy.

Instead, she had decided to face an even greater danger.

“Yes, Big Sis Little Tan, since Big Sis Xiao Han went in that direction, and you two are going to the Wizard Tower, what about us?”

Hedi had now moved to Su Ningmu's side and then asked.

“You should also head towards the Wizard Tower. You can slow down your pace a bit and pay attention to any possible supply caches on the map. If you can support us then, that would be great.”

“Huh? Like that? But, what about Big Sis Xiao Han? And if we were to hold another ritual…”

“Her strength is formidable. Not to mention we can't hold a ritual in a short time, even if we really could, with Little Han's speed, she would arrive very quickly.”

“Uh… Big Sis Little Tan, you… really trust Big Sis Xiao Han.”

“Trust… haha, I suppose it's a sense of reassurance in her strength. Let's take advantage of the time now, Su Ningmu, your injuries need to be treated quickly. If possible, you should still focus on avoiding combat later.”

“Yes, I don't want to be a burden either.”

The place I was heading to at this moment was in the direction of the Beast Academy on the other side.

It was a vast, dense jungle, and the area next to it was even the elves' territory, along with that very conspicuous World Tree.

Actually, there weren't many places in Witch Academy where rituals could be held.

According to the rules, there were only a few very conspicuous locations.

As for places with additional qualifications, how to give value to an ordinary place, that was what I was unclear about.

For example, on a certain mountaintop, our Witch Academy was besieged by all the other academies.

Could a tea party be held in such a place?

Perhaps it could.

But wouldn't that be a certain-death situation?

Would it make a difference whether we had it or not?

Manpower has its limits, and blindly relying on so-called combat power still couldn't solve too many things.

Just like the feeling of powerlessness I had when I was guarding the tea party before, it still gave me too many warnings.

I still had many methods that I hadn't developed, or perhaps was it possible that I had been tunnel-visioned, and that even spellbooks I hadn't modded could be utilized?

I had been deliberately avoiding one thing, which was that I wouldn't rely too much on spellbooks I hadn't understood yet.

Only when I felt the so-called lack of means did I truly face this matter.

I wasn't fighting alone.

I still had summoning spells, the first one I obtained being the ten-point-cost Spirit Cat Summoning Spell, and later I got the Falcon Summoning Spell, and even the high-consumption spellbook, the Shadow Legion Summoning Spell.

I even had a “Teleportation Summoning Spell.”

This spell worked by marking a physical object in advance and teleporting it over a long distance, summoning it before me.

It was considered an anomaly among summoning spells.

But what this summoning spell summoned was not a spell effect.

In many situations, it could indeed play a significant role.

Even at its most basic application, if I spent time marking a giant boulder, I could use it like a Meteorite Summoning Spell.

Suddenly, I was attracted by this idea.

It seemed I had been overlooking a very important spellbook all this time.

Teleportation Summoning Spell.

What was its teleportation limit?

Could it mark and teleport living people?

Could it mark multiple targets at once?

Could they be summoned together?

There were too many questions that needed experimentation, but the problem went back to the previous one: spellbooks were not conceptual skills.

Their application couldn't be developed based on the spell's name.

Instead, one had to look at its implementation principle to know its application prospects.

But I currently had no theoretical basis, so I could only summarize the patterns and deduce its function through continuous experimentation.

As for using Spirit Vision to directly attempt a deep-level mod that wasn't necessary, because I hadn't even figured out the original function of this spellbook yet.

It was better not to mess with its internal structure.

I'll note it down for now and find the corresponding materials to study slowly when I get back.

Wasn't the exchange competition also a trial for me to check for omissions and fill in the gaps?

But even if I wanted to experiment now, I couldn't just find something random to experiment on, because using this spell once cost at least ten points.

A large number of attempts would just be a pointless waste.

“So this is the Beast Academy's territory? I really envy their starting place.”

I flew in the air, passing over the canopies of the trees.

I had never tried this kind of jungle warfare before, but there were many covers here.

Every large tree might have a hunter hiding behind it.

So after arriving here, I immediately cast a protective spell on myself, and also a perception-enhancing spell.

I could pretty much sense any rustle in the grass.

Just when I thought I was safe, an arrow suddenly shot out from the forest below.

A verdant natural power surrounded the arrow, eliminating the sound of it breaking through the air, and pierced my warning protective shield at an extremely fast speed!

After the arrow pierced the energy shield, it instantly made me react, and the protection shield also bought me time to react, so this strike didn't cause me any harm.

“An arrow? An elf?”

I immediately locked onto the position and got off my flying broom, but the opponent's figure was extremely fast.

I didn't even get a full look at their appearance, but the opponent was indeed an elf.

As for whether they were from Aphrodite Academy or another academy, it was unknown.

But that verdant natural power just now could rule out quite a few academies, for example, the Dark Fallen Elves, Elemental Elves, and even Half-elves could be ruled out.

But I didn't give up.

I couldn't outrun the opponent in the forest, but they couldn't match the speed of my flying broom unless they hid.

But simply hiding and relying on so-called cover and blind spots was useless.

So I directly released the Spirit Cat Summoning Spell and the Falcon Summoning Spell to corner them for me.

As for why I was making such a big fuss over an elf, it was naturally because I didn't know this place well.

This wasn't the main activity area for elves.

For them to come here, they must know something.

And I also needed an experimental subject right now to see if a living person could be marked by the Teleportation Summoning Spell, and if anything bad would happen after being marked.

“Found you!”

At this moment, my voice sounded like the most terrifying sound to the other party.

They didn't expect that just by preparing to launch a sneak attack on the person flying past in the sky, they would end up being chased until now.

If he had known this would be the result, he definitely wouldn't have been so trigger-happy and fired that arrow.

“Witch my skills were inferior. Kill me.”

After being restrained by my Restraint spell, the opponent directly requested a quick death.

“Tsk… Let me see, Aphrodite's affiliated Forest Elf Academy, that's quite a long name. What, are you also a dog at Aphrodite Academy's beck and call?”

I asked with a smile.

Since this elf seemed very tight-lipped and wasn't afraid of death even after being caught, I didn't mind using some vicious words to make him open his mouth.

“Dog? You dare insult me like that! Your whole family are dogs! We noble elves are not in the kind of relationship you think!”

“Heh Getting worked up already? An elf running here, you were probably cast out because you have no use, right? I remember this is the Beast Academy's territory, isn't it?”

As I spoke, I was trying to mark him as a teleportation object for the Teleportation Summoning Spell.

Although using this spellbook for teleportation costs about ten points of magic power, marking was not included in that; it was an additional cost.

And when I was marking him, I found that I succeeded.

The so-called marking was actually a process of establishing a connection with the spell.

From the perspective of Spirit Vision, the principle behind it could be clearly seen.

But the other party didn't feel it.

Did he not notice, or was he letting me do as I pleased?

Moreover, this mark seemed to be reusable, provided it wasn't destroyed.

And this mark also seemed to be quite easy to destroy.

In essence, it was a spell effect.

Once discovered, there were many ways to remove it, whether through brute force removal or by dispelling it with spell effects, purification, and so on.

But the marking was very stealthy, which gave it a lot of room for maneuvering.

“You wouldn't understand even if I told you.”

“Alright then.”

I picked up his weapon, which was a bow.

It seemed to have a special effect similar to alchemy, but it didn't feel like a simple alchemical item.

It should have been made by a blacksmith.

After simply drawing the string, I could feel that it could utilize transcendent energy, but with my current mental power, I couldn't mobilize my magic power, so I couldn't use magic power to enhance the effect of this bow.

It wasn't like a spellbook that could draw magic power from the magic power source for me.

No wonder such forged weapons were not popular in Witch Academy, and they used alchemical items instead.

In the end, it was because the threshold for using magic power was too high.

“Now, I'll give you a chance. I'll use your weapon to shoot an arrow…”

I drew an arrow from the quiver on his back, and with a snap of my fingers, his restraint disappeared.

“You run as hard as you can. If you get away, I'll let you go. If you don't, I'll kill you. How about it?”

At this moment, even he couldn't quite believe why I would let him go.

But since there was a chance, he wouldn't waste words and would run immediately.

If the weapon was gone, it was gone.

Otherwise, what would be gone next would be his life!

The elf's powerful physical fitness, along with his maxed-out agility and flexibility, was enough for him to disappear from sight in just a few seconds.

And I directly used the Teleportation Summoning Spell.

The teleportation circle formed by the spellbook appeared in front of me, and at that moment, the elf who thought he had escaped was still in a running posture.

“Surprise, surprise!”

I held his bow and released the arrow right in his face.

Pfft!

After the arrow pierced the opponent's body, I silently raised a shield to block the bloodstains.

“Shooting a bow at point-blank range is the correct way to use it. The tuition fee will be paid with one of your revival chances.”

I said lightly, and also tossed the bow onto his fallen corpse.

When he revived later, the corpse would disappear, but it seemed that the bow I snatched, even though thrown onto his corpse, didn't go with him upon revival.

How pitiful.

Without his weapon, the problems he would face next would be immense.

But that had nothing to do with me.

Now I have figured out the use of this Teleportation Summoning Spell.

It was wrapped in the skin of a medium-consumption spellbook, but its effect was not small.

It could even teleport and summon people!

But as the corpse disappeared and the opponent revived, I could no longer summon him.

It seemed that revival didn't leave a mark.

If it did, wouldn't I have a way to directly kill a guy until he was eliminated from the competition?

What a pity.

Next, let's test the teleportation limit of this Teleportation Summoning Spell spellbook.

If there was a size restriction, its effect might be weaker than expected, but I would look forward to a miracle.

If I remembered correctly, this spellbook was a compensation from the academy, which had tilted resources towards me.

If the effect didn't meet expectations, then I would have to try a no-theory-brute-force mod, just like with the Five Senses Weakening spellbook.

Lately, I felt like Lady Luck had been by my side.

What if it succeeded again?

With such a pleasant mood, I continued to traverse this jungle.

Because of the lesson just now, I was no longer flying high in the sky as ostentatiously as before, but was moving through the forest.

But just doing this made it difficult to encounter players from other academies.

Once the speed dropped, the area of this jungle was much larger than I had imagined.

It was really hard to imagine how difficult it would be to just find someone in the final stages of the exchange competition.

But in the later stages, the ancient battlefield would swallow the land, and the surrounding seas would submerge the land.

Wait, in that case, wouldn't the Sea Clan become the final winner?

What was the Sea Clan doing at this time?

I hadn't paid much attention to whether the Sea Clan had held a ritual before.

It was somewhat difficult for the Sea Clan to hold a ritual.

I remembered that the Royal Sea Clan Academy's ritual was the Ritual of the Sea's Marvelous Crown; to be crowned with the marvelous crown and command the tides.

Based on the description of this ritual, I reasonably suspected that its completion might cause terrifying destruction.

But if that was the case, it would be too much of a rule violation.

To command the tides, if it could form a tsunami, then it could cause terrifying destruction to the coastal areas.

Were we really playing the same game?

I shook my head and decided not to think about these things.

Along the way, I also found some treasure chests that would be missed if I wasn't paying attention.

I hadn't paid much attention before, and I thought such rewards were rare.

Now I knew that there were quite a few.

But the items obtained after opening them were all for use within the exchange competition, such as recovery potions, or some alchemical items.

They were all things that couldn't be taken out.

Before, I was riding my broom and flying too fast, and I was always wandering in the same place.

Now that I had lowered myself, I found that there were good things everywhere.

What I valued most was naturally the “Recovery Potion.”

Because it had to be suitable for all academies, it didn't specify what it recovered, but after using it, it would restore transcendent energy.

There were also potions to restore stamina, heal wounds, and cure poison.

And some defensive alchemical items that could be used as soon as they were obtained.

It seemed that the more precious things, even the rewards that could be taken away, including my top ten rewards from the competition, would probably not be in a place like this.

They were either guarded by NPC monsters or would descend in a grand manner, just like the qualification Tan Han and the others obtained that could specify the location of a resource drop.

Once the resources descended, it would attract many people from the surrounding area to gather and compete for them.

Speaking of which, the competition has been going on for a while, right?

How come I haven't seen any resource drops yet, not even a trace of them?

At least let me know they really existed.

As I was sighing, not far from me, a pillar of light rose up.

“Oh? An academy is preparing a ritual right under my nose? I'll have to take a good look at which academy it is.”
