Chapter 360 : Chapter 360

Chapter 360: Witch Physique

"It should be here. I didn't expect it to be this place."

Big Sis Bai accompanied me to the place the Academy Head and I had previously agreed on.

This was a reception room in the Ninglan Township Fortress, but before I even entered this room, I had noticed something different.

I gently pushed open the door in the dream, and looking at the empty reception room inside, I knew that my way of opening it was wrong.

A layer of space had been superimposed here.

In terms of feeling, it was a bit like the design of the shop manager's little treasury.

And to walk into that kind of seal, it was a bit like the Fengqing Street I had accidentally entered back then.

When I closed the door, this door was pushed open from the inside.

"You're here."

A figure walked out from the inside.

Upon seeing me, she greeted me enthusiastically.

It was an academy mentor I didn't recognize.

My gaze subconsciously looked inside.

This place was no longer a reception room, but a fully equipped laboratory!

"Hello, mentor," I looked at this rather unfamiliar Transcendent Witch and said subconsciously.

"It's okay, it's okay. Come in. We've been waiting for you here."

This mentor didn't have any airs at all.

Upon seeing me, she enthusiastically pushed me in here.

"Wait, this mentor..."

At this moment, Bai Yu at the side saw the other party just pulling Little Han alone and quickly spoke up.

"Oh? Is there still someone who hasn't left? In principle, not just anyone is qualified to come in here. You know that, right?"

This mentor was also a little surprised.

There was actually a student who had stayed here and hadn't left Ninglan New City.

Logically speaking, the academy should have sent all the students back a few days ago.

"Then... alright. Then can I wait outside? Just in this reception room."

"That's up to you."

"Um, this teacher, can you see if you can make an exception? Big Sis Bai is my..."

At this moment, I also asked for a favor on the side.

After all, after I came in, I found that this place was very large.

If Big Sis Bai could accompany me on the side...

"Your what? Good gal pal? Since it's Little Han's request, I can naturally make an exception."

"Huh?"

I looked at this mentor.

I didn't expect that I had just said it without much hope, and she actually agreed?

What about your principles?

Who was the one who had just said that in principle, it wasn't allowed!

But these were all small matters.

For the witches, it was indeed so.

Just as I wanted to say something more, a figure suddenly appeared behind me.

Her hand ignored the boundary between reality and the dream and gently rested on my shoulder.

"Little Han, you're here. Let's go. Don't waste any more time."

"Yes, okay."

I heard the Academy Head's voice and nodded in response.

"You are here. I don't want you to do anything irrational. Just watch from the side. You... hmm, are also a prospective witch now. You should be able to distinguish the priorities of things."

The witch who had opened the door just now also came to Bai Yu's side at this moment and said a warning in a voice only she could hear.

This was something that had to be said in advance.

After all, she knew what kind of feat they were about to perform next.

This could not tolerate a single accident.

If this attempt succeeded, then they would witness a feat that could definitely be recorded in the Witch World's Great Library!

It could even allow the "witchification" process to be further developed, making it more convenient for other races to transform into witches.

After all, even if there were very few Self-Awakened Body Cultivators, but looking at the scale of the entire void, the number was not small.

"Little Han, relax. This attempt is just an attempt between you and me. The others are just responsible for observing and recording. After all, the most important thing in this attempt is your cooperation."

"Oh."

I nodded obediently, my gaze on those Transcendent Witches, and finally settled on Big Sis Bai, who was standing quietly at the edge.

I didn't expect that all the witches who had come were here to observe.

When I saw that there were so many witches just now, I was almost scared.

I thought I was going to be dismantled and studied in pieces.

With the preparations done, the Academy Head waved her hand, and the area reserved for me and the Academy Head was enveloped by a spell effect.

Instantly, everything I saw outside became blurry.

"This is?"

"I was afraid that you would be uncomfortable being stared at by so many eyes, so I used a spell effect to isolate it. Don't worry, it won't prevent them from recording the experiment outside. The main thing is that I hope you won't be distracted by their actions at a critical moment."

"So it's a one-way mirror?"

"That's right. The inspiration came from a small spellbook for a one-way mirror. It's very practical, isn't it?"

"Indeed," I nodded.

To some extent, technology was also a skill like magic, both of which could do things that ordinary people couldn't even imagine.

"Then the first step now is to remove the Earth Vein chains."

After I was ready, the Academy Head also showed her decisive side, without any delay, and went straight to the topic.

At this moment, I saw the Academy Head reach out her hand, and the Earth Vein chains that were rooted in my soul trembled at this moment.

"You can see the Earth Vein chains now? I didn't pay too much attention before. How did you do it? Relying on the Floating World-level Spirit Vision?"

"Um... yes. But before, even the Floating World-level Spirit Vision couldn't see them. Wait, Academy Head, if even the Floating World-level can't see them, can you see them..."

"I can't either. This is one of the reasons why the Earth Vein chains must be severed by oneself. It's especially troublesome if you ask others for help. The Earth Vein chain is an abstract concept formed from the Earth Vein. You can only perceive it by yourself," the Academy Head explained to me.

"Is that so... then for the Academy Head to be able to help me, isn't that very impressive?"

"Not as impressive as you. You just said you could see them. What do you mean by you couldn't see them before?"

"Oh, before, I used the Destiny and the Spirit Vision to locate the Earth Vein chains through the spellbook and the Magic Power Source. Then I came to a strange place and saw the Earth Vein river..."

"You know the Earth Vein river? And you've seen it?"

At this moment, the Academy Head's hand movement paused, and she asked in surprise.

"Ah? Is it really called the Earth Vein river?"

"Yes, it is indeed called the Earth Vein river. And then?"

At this moment, the Academy Head impassively suppressed her emotions and continued to ask.

"Then I came into contact with a tributary that was pointing at me. Then I received the information feedback from the Earth Vein river. Finally, I could see the information feedback of the Earth Vein chains in my body, that is, I saw the Earth Vein chains with my Spirit Vision."

"Receiving information feedback... is that how you understand Spirit Vision?"

"Isn't it?"

I asked curiously.

Did Spirit Vision have other functions?

"There's nothing wrong with it. This is very good. Everyone has the freedom to understand all things from their own perspective. Since you can see the Earth Vein chains, then come and cooperate with me. It will also save me a lot of effort."

"Alright."

I nodded and agreed.

I didn't expect that there were things that even the Academy Head couldn't do... so this world was indeed a huge grass-roots stage... maybe the Academy Head, apart from her identity as the Academy Head, was also an ordinary Transcendent Witch like Teacher Ji Niang?

Of course, this was just a thought of mine.

Cooperation still had to be done well.

And with my cooperation, the Academy Head did indeed make rapid progress, but it was not so fast as to be completed in an instant.

After all, the Earth Vein chain was an abstract concept.

What I saw was "seeing," but this was not something that the Academy Head could just grab after I pointed it out.

Instead, she had to slowly perceive it according to my description until she found the source.

"Found it."

After a long time of work, the Academy Head finally did.

Then, the Academy Head suddenly exerted her strength.

Countless runes that I was familiar with and unfamiliar with circulated at this moment.

And at this time, a bright red and still beating heart suddenly appeared in the Academy Head's hand.

Countless runes circled around her body.

When I looked closely again, there was nothing in the Academy Head's hand, and that Earth Vein chain shattered with a bang.

At this moment, I felt something snap in my mind.

A feeling I had never felt before filled my consciousness.

It was a feeling as transparent as if I had eaten mint... but before I could feel it for too long, a powerful sense of oppression suddenly came over me.

"Ugh... this! What is this!"

At this moment, it was as if I had suddenly entered the water.

A powerful repulsive force was crazily squeezing my soul.

"It's okay. This is just the repulsive force from the world consciousness towards outsiders," at this moment, the Academy Head pressed a hand on me, and instantly, this repulsive force dissipated like a tide.

"This... this repulsive force, is it so terrifying?"

Recalling the feeling just now, it was all as if I had suddenly plunged into the depths of the sea.

That sense of suffocation and powerlessness, plus that ubiquitous and powerful external pressure that was crazily squeezing my existence...

"It's okay, I'm here. After this repulsive force discovers that it can't expel you from the main world, then it will stop and turn into a curse of misfortune."

"Huh? So fast?!"

"Yes, and even dispelling and purifying spells are ineffective."

"This... this curse is so harsh? No spell is effective?"

"It's useless. You can dispel and purify it, but in the next moment, this curse will target you again. If you use this method too many times, you will even be specially taken care of by the world consciousness, and the curse of misfortune will be even more terrifying. As long as you stay in this world, this curse will not disappear."

"Alright... alright..."

I also gave up the thought of using these methods.

It was simply drinking poison to quench thirst.

After all, having gained freedom, I also had to bear some price.

I understood this point.

"Right, by the way, Academy Head, didn't you say that severing the Earth Vein chains required a price equal to or even far exceeding my own value? Why was it... so easy..."

"What do you think the power I used to disconnect your Earth Vein chains was? That was a ritual that was figured out to deal with severing the Earth Vein chains. You can understand it as a sacrificial ritual. The thing sacrificed is the price you have to pay, and the object of the sacrifice is the world consciousness."

"So... it was just completed? That just now..."

"It was the heart of a demon lord," the Academy Head explained.

"Ah? A demon lord? A heart?!"

"Yes, a warm-hearted demon sponsored it out of friendship. You should have made a profit. You have to understand that you don't even have a body now, just the essence of a soul. Even so, severing the Earth Vein chains consumed the entire source of power of a transcendent demon. This is a losing business that no one would do."

"This... is that so."

I didn't expect the Academy Head's move to be the heart of a transcendent life!

And it was a source of power.

To use a transcendent to trade with the world consciousness in exchange for an ordinary person, this was indeed a losing business.

And the Academy Head even said that this was sponsored by some warm-hearted demon out of friendship... how could I believe that?

By the way, the ones who had attacked us before were demons... could it be that the Academy Head had killed her way to their lair?

No, no, that was the abyss world.

The Academy Head shouldn't have ventured there alone...

"Alright, don't think too much. You are much more valuable than a transcendent demon. The next step is to start reshaping your body. You know what we need to achieve."

"Yes," I nodded to show that I understood.

Reshaping the body was actually very simple, but what we wanted was not just to reshape the body, but to achieve the unprecedented feat of a non-transcendent witch possessing the inherent talent of self-generating magic power!

Only with a constitutional inherent talent of the same nature as magic power could the Magic Power Source have the possibility of being carried.

And to achieve this kind of thing, then we have to introduce another concept, and that is "physique."

There are actually many kinds of physiques, or rather, as long as it is a race, then it can be named after the name of that race for their physique.

The most famous is probably the elemental body physique of the elemental life.

It sounds a bit like a transformation spell, so the concept of physique has an intersection with transformation spells.

But you can't say that physique is a kind of spell, that doesn't make sense, and the proud mages would not admit this point.

And the boundary that defines physique and transformation spells is the duration of the effect.

A permanent change of the body is a physique, while a temporary change of the physique is a spell effect.

Most transformation spells are actually derived from physiques.

But there is one exception to this.

After all, the world is full of wonders.

When you have to define and set boundaries for something, you need to divide the scope of application.

Because there is also an existence in spells that doesn't reason with anyone, "Grand Spells."

A spell whose spell effect exists permanently.

It is precisely because of the existence of Grand Spells that there are also grand transformation spells, for example, the grand cat girl transformation spell of the cat girl transformation.

You don't care whether this kind of spell is useful or not, you just say whether it exists?

As long as it exists, it needs to be considered.

So Grand Spells are generally removed from the spell register on a daily basis.

As long as the wrong ones are removed, then the rest are right.

It's that simple.

And the physique I need at this moment is a kind of witch physique.

Actually, I had come into contact with the witch physique long ago.

That was the "witchification process" brought by the Magic Power Source.

This was a kind of physique transformation.

The plan proposed by the Academy Head was a witch physique constructed with the Magic Power Source as the core, using the way the witch physique gave birth to the Magic Power Source to reverse the process.

Actually, in essence, it was to crazily advance the witchification process in a short period of time with the power of my Self-Awakened Body Cultivator.

But this was just a change of physique, not a life level.

So, even if I obtained the witch physique and had self-generating magic power, it didn't mean that I had already become a Transcendent Witch.

At most, it was a special state—"prospective witch."

Generally, "prospective witch" was used to describe students who were about to be promoted to Transcendent Witches.

It could be said that what the Academy Head and I were going to do now was to compress the entire process that those seniors who had graduated in more than ten years had gone through into one experiment.

"Are you ready? Then now I will start to explain to you in detail the things we need to cooperate on next," at this moment, the Academy Head said to me, holding my Magic Power Sources.

"Yes, I'm ready," I nodded.

"By the way, you should also take this Memory Bookshelf spellbook. When I was severing the Earth Vein chains, I paid special attention to it, at least to not let this spellbook lose its connection with you. If the effect generated by this spellbook loses its connection with the user, then the memory bookshelf you have constructed will instantly collapse."

"Right... right! Thank you, Academy Head!"

I quickly reacted and quickly thanked her.

It almost made all my previous efforts go to waste!

"It's okay. After all, the content I'm going to say next, if you don't have the Memory Bookshelf spellbook, it might waste a lot of my time. After all, you also know that knowledge is not something that can be learned in one go, but the Memory Bookshelf spellbook can help you remember it in one go."
