Free Web NovelChapter 807: The Arrival of Academy Head Serina
With a burst of commotion, the news of there being Fool's Dream in the laboratory spread immediately.
Even Yi Rui made a point to come over to my place to see for herself before leaving satisfied.
It seemed the popularity of the Fool's Dream far exceeded my imagination.
“By the way, Big Sis Xiao Han, why did you bring Fool's Dream to the laboratory? I heard they are also your little assistants?”
“Mm, I’ve said it many times already… the existence of the Fool's Dream is a life project I need to face. However, over a hundred Fool's Dream are simply too many, so they could only be settled in the Witch Academy to let them integrate into the life of Witches. And the three before your eyes are the three representatives who volunteered to follow me.”
“Then do they have names?”
“The one you’re holding is Fool's Luck, and these two are Fool's Blue and Fool's Fruit.”
I repeated the names of these few for them again.
Actually, if they had just asked the Fool's Dream themselves, the creatures would have been willing to tell them.
After all, the Fool's Dream weren't cats that couldn't communicate.
“Eh? Wait… what kind of project is a life project? Is that project among the Witch projects? I only know about the Great Project of the Soul…”
At this time, someone suddenly discovered the blind spot in my words.
“That's right, I didn't even catch it just now. A life project? Big Sis Xiao Han, what exactly do you do normally… first, it was the Self-generating Magic Power project I’ve never heard of, and now it’s a life project. Do you feel that none of the projects in the Witch Academy are suitable for you?”
At this time, someone began to tease.
“Actually, it’s the Interpretation of Life, which has quite a connection to the Great Project of the Soul. The relationship is similar to that between Self-generating Magic Power and the Great Witch Project; it’s just that the research threshold is a bit high, so general students won't come into contact with it.”
“I knew Big Sis Xiao Han definitely didn't have a slip of the tongue.”
Although most of the people here had never heard of the Interpretation of Life related to the Great Project of the Soul, it didn't stop them from marveling.
But that was fine.
If the Academy Head hadn't personally educated me, I wouldn't have known the Interpretation of Life either.
This had already departed from the scope of ordinary projects.
Even those taking sub-projects under the Great Project of the Soul might not necessarily know this concept.
“Then Big Sis Xiao Han, do you need our help with this project?”
“You all should hurry up and finish the laboratory experiments for the Self-generating Magic Power project. I won't trouble you with this project, because this is an agreement between me and the Fool's Dream.”
I shook my head and still refused their kindness.
“It has already escalated to being called an agreement? Alright, alright, then I won't interfere.”
“True. Then Big Sis Xiao Han, you get busy first; we won't disturb you for now.”
“By the way, Big Sis Xiao Han, can we take care of the Fool's Dream when you don't need them? I really need the healing of the Fool's Dream!”
“That depends on their will.”
I shrugged and said, “Fool's Blue, are you guys willing?”
“Of course we are!”
Fool's Blue was the first to speak up and agree.
“Mm-hm! There isn't much we can do. If we can help everyone in the laboratory, it counts as contributing.”
Following that, Fool's Luck and Fool's Fruit also expressed no problem.
“See the Fool's Dream all said it’s fine!”
They immediately said with excitement.
“Alright, but they can't be lent to you today.”
I also expressed that it was fine.
“Can't you just make an exception for one?”
“If you keep acting like this, I’m going to suspect whether you have ulterior motives toward the Fool's Dream, okay?”
“Ah… forget I said anything!”
“Go on, go on. Today you all go busy yourselves with your own matters. Tomorrow, when I’m conducting experiments with Tan Han, I’ll let the Fool's Dream accompany you… hiss… that sounds a bit strange…”
“It’s entrusting the Fool's Dream to our care. How about that!”
At this time, someone corrected.
“Fine, entrusting them to your care. So don't do anything too out of line to the Fool's Dream, okay?”
In this way, after the mentors had left the laboratory, new companions arrived here—the three little Fool's Dream.
After it was finally quiet around my ears, I also began to focus on the matters before me.
Since I had decided to perform the metamorphosis of life for the Fool's Dream, I naturally had to be responsible for it.
“How are the early preparations?”
I inquired of Fool's Blue.
The thing I was responsible for handing over to the Fool's Dream was naturally the “memory” that was closely related to them.
Memory was truly a magical concept.
It was the experience of a being with consciousness regarding things encountered—an absolutely subjective feeling, rather than an objective presentation, and certainly not a continuous series of images.
Even the sense of imagery presented would only be one facet of a memory, a visual experience within perception.
The feelings conveyed by the basic five senses of a life form's perceptual channels were likewise memories, and the thoughts within the heart were also memories.
Even the sense of time flowing or the sense of exploring external space could be a part of memory.
This almost corresponded to the five senses, as well as the sensory channels above the five senses.
From this, a simple conclusion could be drawn: memory had a strong relationship with the self-awakened Body Cultivation, and perceptual channels were existences built directly upon the essence of life.
Therefore, the relationship between the concepts of memory and life was inseparable.
Similarly, the “memory” of a Fool's Dream would also be the only existence for them as important as “consciousness.”
Moreover… shaping life required more than just memory itself; it also required an ability to “cognize” memory.
And what concept could cognize memory?
Naturally, it was the consciousness of the Fool's Dream.
Therefore, the composition of a Fool's Dream was “consciousness + memory,” added to Soul Depiction to shape it into a life essence, woven from the composition of the Fool's Dream into a Seed of Wisdom rooted upon the soil of soul life.
This was a complex theoretical process, but I had the Great Tree of Knowledge as my support for understanding this process; that was the source of my confidence.
But theory was ultimately theory.
Only by practicing it on the Fool's Dream could I understand what was truly useful.
What was still missing was probably only a sufficient amount of Soul-substance.
I didn't know when Millian would help me send it over.
But before that……
I looked at the simulated information presented by the light screen projected by the Great Tree of Knowledge.
The perfection of the Soul Depiction technique was also nearly at its end; at least theoretically, it was successful.
If the Soul Depiction technique matured, this method could even help life forms with a soul-substance essence skip the Great Project of the Soul and be directly shaped into a soul essence!
“Come, let's try it out first. Once the Soul-substance materials arrive, we will formally begin the experiment.”
I said to the Fool's Dream.
And the thing I was going to experiment with was the organization and processing of the Fool's Dream's memories.
The Fool's Dream had no other means besides the Seed of Great Knowledge I gave them.
Only I could use Soul Depiction and Wisdom Bestowal to perform the final preprocessing of these memories.
……
Another few days passed.
Tan Han had already been to the laboratory several times.
Her progress in perfecting her Self-generating Magic Power had also exceeded my expectations.
Originally, according to the time I had estimated, Tan Han would need about a month to complete the perfection of her Self-generating Magic Power and reach the level of completion for the Prototype Self-generating Magic Power.
But now, only three or four recording nodes had passed—a total of only seven or eight days—and the degree of completion of Tan Han's Self-generating Magic Power had already reached the point where she could easily condense a complete Magic Power Source.
It seemed that Tan Han had been delving into the Magic Power Source condensation technique during her spare time these past few days.
Otherwise, learning from scratch with no foundation and being able to master it so quickly and gradually become proficient was enough to call her a genius.
I believed that in the end, Tan Han might only need a little over half a month to directly perfect her Self-generating Magic Power.
And if the iteration-updated “Perfection Ritual” were used again, the time might be shortened to around three days to perfect the Self-generating Magic Power prototype.
“We’ve set a new record compared to the day before yesterday again. This perfection efficiency is frighteningly fast.”
I looked at the vigorous magic power within Tan Han's body at this moment.
At this level, I didn't even need to use the Appraisal Spell to feel Tan Han's metamorphosis.
“True. By the way, Xiao Han, to what extent do you actually intend to perfect this ritual?”
Tan Han also nodded.
Even she was shocked by her own strength.
This kind of magic power that didn't originate from a Magic Power Source, the feeling of it surging from within her own body, was truly too great!
Moreover, her mental power driving the magic power no longer had the previous kind of estrangement.
It even gave her a desire to release some spells on the spot just to vent.
“I naturally hope the faster, the better. I once witnessed a witch ascend to Transcendent; it only took a few hours from the birth of her Self-generating Magic Power to its perfection. I really hope to achieve that kind of effect.”
“A few hours for the whole process? Actually, there’s no need to take this technique to such an extent, right? It’s just like learning Body-transformation Spells; one even needs to study for several days to achieve basic mastery…”
“Because it has always been this way, does it have to be this way? If someone said they wanted to create a learning technique that could quickly allow one to master Body-transformation Spells within a few hours, would you be willing to support her?”
“…”
This time, Tan Han was stunned by my words.
“As expected, Xiao Han, your thinking is at a level I can't keep up with. So I will support you. Although I can't say for sure it can be done to that extent, I will accompany you in experiments until you are satisfied.”
“That's good. But today's data and information are almost finished being processed. Do you still plan to stay in the laboratory for a while?”
I asked, then added, “Yesterday I learned that Yi Rui and the others have had a new breakthrough in the Construction Ritual, so she intends to use herself as the experimental subject to conduct a reconstruction of the Construction Ritual. I plan to take this opportunity to give Yi Rui a hand and see if I can help her complete the architecture of her Self-generating Magic Power in one go as well.”
“Big Sis Yi Rui has also reached this step?”
“Mm. Her obsession with Self-generating Magic Power is far above yours. It seems you’re willing to go over and watch?”
“Of course. If you don't think I’m in the way, I’m very willing to witness the birth of the second successful case from the side.”
“Then let's go.”
I put down the things in my hands and gave a light wave of my hand, integrating all the information light screens projected by the Great Tree of Knowledge together, then merging them with the previous information.
These were all precious pieces of information collected during the gradual perfection of the Self-generating Magic Power body talent!
They were an aid to help me understand the deep concepts of Self-generating Magic Power and the foundation to assist me in deriving infinite magic power.
When I brought Tan Han to the experimental area where Yi Rui and the others were located, they were also in the middle of intense and busy preparations.
The information collection platform and data monitoring system they had built using the Seeds of Great Knowledge were running steadily on the equipment here.
Various research data used the light screens woven from the Seed of Great Knowledge information as carriers and were constantly performing calculations.
Every time I saw them utilize the Seed of Great Knowledge to such an extent, I couldn't help but want to marvel.
This kind of formation was completely different from when I was conducting research.
I still preferred using the Great Tree of Knowledge as a carrier for conscious reminders, while they preferred this most intuitive form of presentation.
Perhaps this was the difference in our philosophies.
They were better at cooperation, while I preferred to figure things out alone.
It was hard to say who was better or worse.
But the fact that there is strength in numbers was indeed undeniable.
I admitted my talent for leadership was poor, so I rarely interfered with Yi Rui's team, communicating more directly with Yi Rui herself, and then she was responsible for conveying and arranging things.
“Big Sis Xiao Han, is your work finished?”
Seeing my figure appear, someone immediately stepped forward to greet me, and many people also stopped their actions to look my way.
“Roughly. The progress is very gratifying. How about on your end?”
“We’re almost done here too.”
“By the way, where is Yi Rui? Why don't I see her? Didn't she say she was going to use herself to perfect the Construction Ritual again?”
I looked around to make sure I hadn't missed her.
Yi Rui was not here.
“Big Sis Yi Rui is busy with preparations. Earlier, she said she needed to adjust a completely new Micro-control Resonance Method according to her own situation. She said only then could it match the brand-new Construction Ritual.”
“Personalized customization? Interesting. It seems Yi Rui has spent a lot of thought on this attempt.”
After hearing their explanation, even I couldn't help but marvel.
But the higher the hopes placed, the greater the blow brought by failure.
However, I didn't want Yi Rui to fail either.
But whether failure or success occurred wasn't something I could decide.
Especially the Architecture Ritual… this was the only ritual among that Transcendent ascension ritual that I didn't gain much enlightenment from.
Therefore, precisely because of the Architecture Ritual, the Self-generating Magic Power project ultimately remained stuck at the conclusion, rather than being completely perfected.
Otherwise, small-scale testing could be conducted now, followed by overall optimization.
While I was communicating with these few sisters about more detailed issues regarding the brand-new Construction Ritual, a commotion suddenly came from the laboratory door.
“Hmm? Did someone go out? Or is it Millian…”
I looked over curiously, but I quickly dismissed the thought of Millian.
If she had finished collecting the Soul Crystals, she would have told me in advance and then met me in the laboratory.
“It’s Big Sis Yi Rui. She said she wanted to call Mentor Belica over to witness this scene together.”
“Yi Rui still has that kind of mood?”
I looked over with some curiosity, but I discovered that the person walking at the very front was not Yi Rui, nor was it Mentor Belica.
It was… Academy Head Serina!
Following behind was Mentor Belica, and finally Yi Rui, who was following the mentor.
“Academy Head Serina, why are you here?”
I hurried forward a step to welcome her.
Many of these sisters in the laboratory were seeing Academy Head Serina Palitzer for the first time, so I naturally needed to remind them.
If they all waited to learn through the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell that the one before them was the Academy Head, how presumptuous that would be.
A Transcendent's perception of the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell was very sharp, so that would also be very impolite.
“I came here because of various coincidences. Along the way, I came to see how the progress of the Self-generating Magic Power promotion project you are presiding over is going.”
Seeing me, Academy Head Serina's plain expression also showed a slight smile.
