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

Chapter 718: Helping Big Sis Bai Market the Body Cultivation Course

”Witchification is actually Body Cultivation?”

”This truly hits my knowledge blind spot. I’ve been dual-cultivating Body Cultivation without even realizing it?”

Hearing this statement, the young women were all extremely surprised, as this matter was too much of a shock to their common knowledge.

They had always thought they were Prospective Witches, studying Spells, and pursuing the path of pure Spell Cultivator…

But now they were being told that they had unintentionally been dual-cultivating Body Cultivation, which truly shattered their conventional wisdom.

”If Witchification is Body Cultivation… doesn’t that mean this power is automatically completed? The Magic Power from the Magic Power Source continuously deepens and promotes Witchification… How can there be such a magical power system?”

”Perhaps it’s a cognitive difference? You shouldn’t have strange filters for Body Cultivation. The enhancement of most Transcendent powers can roughly be divided into two parts: active acquisition and passive growth. Witchification is just changing active acquisition into passive acquisition.”

I explained.

”Active acquisition and passive growth? That way of speaking is certainly very interesting. However, this statement is actually not wrong, and its applicability is even broader than you think,” Mentor Belica interjected at this moment.

”Mentor, you also acknowledge this statement?”

”Mhm. There are many things in the Transcendent world that you cannot understand. It’s just that you haven’t seen enough. But I also envy you. Because you’ve seen so little, you naturally hold an attitude of doubt and questioning toward everything. Unlike me, after seeing too much, I’ve lost my instinctive interest in many things and lack the mindset to view it from another perspective.”

”Uh… Mentor, for a moment, I can’t distinguish whether you are showing off or praising us…”

Yi Rui complained from the side.

”Of course, I’m praising you.”

”Mhm, Big Sis Belica is indeed praising you,” I agreed from the side.

After all, although that statement was Mentor Belica’s lament, using another example, the meaning becomes very clear.

The Totem.

Without looking at and understanding it from another angle, it is impossible to truly master the power of the Totem.

Perhaps Mentor Belica was also lamenting the matter of the Totem just now.

She had recorded my Totem Imprint, but she probably couldn’t discern anything from it.

This was not surprising.

Because this was a Totem born from Self-awakened Body Cultivation and Self-generating Magic Power.

Although it sounded like boasting… without being Self-awakened Body Cultivation and with Self-generating Magic Power being naturally born upon advancing to Transcendent, Mentor Belica would likely never be able to master this Totem in her lifetime.

Not even a replicated version of the Totem would necessarily be mastered.

”Oh right, Xiao Han, did you have any other gains from this experiment? And… what should we do next, or how should we cooperate with you?”

Yi Rui interjected at this moment, steering the conversation back to business.

Yi Rui could sense that they were completely unable to help with the research on Self-generating Magic Power.

They couldn’t see any progress in the research, mainly because their understanding of the principles of Self-generating Magic Power was too shallow, and they didn’t even know what to do.

Although they initially agreed to be guinea pigs to cooperate with the experiment, once the experiment actually started, they found themselves somewhat unwilling to be merely experimental guinea pigs.

”The gain from the experiment was substantial; at least I’ve clarified a path—the gradual path.”

I said with a smile.

”As for what you should do next, it can be divided into two things, both of which are preliminary preparations.”

”One is to learn the Metamorphic Incubation Spell. Of course, it would be even better if you had the Spellbook. The other is to get exposure to Body Cultivation. Actually, it’s beneficial for Witches to engage in Body Cultivation, as they can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Especially for those of you with a high degree of Witchification, you already possess the foundation for Body Cultivation.”

”If you don’t like the rigid body forging Body Cultivation, you can also take the Five Senses Enhancement Body Cultivation path like me. By cultivating the Five Senses Enhancement, the Spirit Vision talent we possess is actually closely related to one of the Five Senses Enhancement, visual perception. Moreover, after advancing to Transcendent and touching True Time, the Five Senses Enhancement Body Cultivation can help you adapt to the True Five Senses faster.”

”And… you normally use Mental Power Perception to perceive and interfere with Transcendent Power, architecting runes and spell structures. But have you ever considered using a sensory channel other than Mental Power to perceive the Transcendent? In fact, the further along the Transcendent path you go, the more the paths converge, achieving the same destination through different routes.”

As I gently explained, I lured them into realizing the benefits.

After all, everyone needs benefits to be motivated to do anything.

Were they not very curious about Spell research?

Then I would recommend another method, a method that could help them, telling them so they would spontaneously realize they might need this ability, and then they would be willing to learn it from the bottom of their hearts.

”This… there’s such a profound concept?”

Yi Rui instinctively looked at Mentor Belica.

She had never learned these things from her own mentor.

”No wonder you’re so incredible, Xiao Han, even your derivative Spells can leap out of the Sequence. Is this achieved by using the power of Body Cultivation to break away from the perspective of Mental Power?”

”Ah?”

I was a little surprised at Yi Rui’s sophisticated angle, but… it was close enough?

”Ahem, although it’s not as magical as you said, it is indeed a completely new perspective. I imagine you wouldn’t refuse to try new things, right?”

”Mhm, we certainly won’t refuse to try new things. But we’ve never had any exposure to the Body Cultivation power system before, Xiao Han. How did you embark on this path?”

Yi Rui asked curiously.

”Me? Oh, I became Self-awakened Body Cultivation after dying once and then embarked on the path of Body Cultivation. But this path has no reference value.”

”True… Self-awakened Body Cultivation… we should have thought of that. So, Xiao Han, who did you study Body Cultivation with? Or did you figure it out yourself? Would it be convenient for you to recommend someone to us?”

”Oh, a recommendation.”

I immediately reacted.

”I studied the Five Senses Enhancement Body Cultivation with Big Sis Bai. I learned the foundational knowledge and then explored on my own. Five Senses Enhancement Body Cultivation emphasizes daily accumulation and personal comprehension, so it doesn’t take up too much time. Every aspect of daily life is a form of cultivation for Five Senses Enhancement Body Cultivation.”

”For example, eating.”

I demonstrated, holding up the delivery box.

”This might just be ordinary eating and nutritional replenishment for you, but for me, it’s a form of Five Senses Enhancement cultivation. Scent sense, taste sense, visual sense, and so on are all excellent experiences, and the process of experiencing is part of the cultivation.”

”Ah? That’s so outrageous?!”

Hearing my explanation, many young women instinctively paused their eating utensils.

Looking at the delivery food they had already eaten half of, they all felt it was incredible.

”Big Sis Xiao Han, is every aspect of your daily life actually a form of cultivation?”

”What kind of involution king is this?”

”That’s why I suggested you should also try to learn it. The free time you can utilize in your life is far more than you imagine. Body Cultivation is not just the Five Senses Enhancement; there’s also the Sixth Sense, the Seventh Sense, and so on. Perhaps in your eyes, a day is 24 hours, but for me, a day might be 240 hours, who knows?”

I explained to them with a smile.

”That’s even more outrageous! How is that possible?!”

”That’s right, Big Sis Xiao Han, you’re not just saying this to persuade us to practice Body Cultivation, are you?”

”Xiao Han might not be lying to you.”

Belica interjected again at this moment.

”If I recall correctly, the Body Cultivation Seventh Sense is Time Sense, isn’t it? The Big Sis Bai you mentioned is a Body Cultivation Witch who has mastered Time Sense, and she seemed to have caused quite a commotion recently.”

”Mhm, yes, Big Sis Bai has indeed mastered Time Sense now.”

I also nodded, acknowledging Mentor Belica’s words.

In fact, I also knew that Big Sis Bai had used the power of Time Sense to slaughter several Transcendent beings from the Dragon Blood Academy for me.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t present at the time… well, was my corpse being present considered being on-site in a way?

”Time Sense? Oh my goodness, what kind of terrifying existence is Body Cultivation?”

”Spell Cultivation also has the forbidden Time-element Spells; don’t underestimate yourselves.”

”Big Sis Xiao Han’s tone just now didn’t sound like a joke. Big Sis Xiao Han, are you also a Body Cultivator who has mastered Time Sense?”

”Me? I’ve only initially grasped the Time Sense Prototype; I haven’t reached that terrifying level yet.”

I waved my hand and said modestly.

However, this degree of modesty was completely indistinguishable from showing off in their eyes.

”Oh, right, I almost let you distract me from the topic. If you also want to try the Five Senses Enhancement Body Cultivation, I suggest you look for Mentor Bai Yu. I’m very familiar with her. This semester has ended, but she should still have classes scheduled next semester. If possible, next semester… oh, I should say the next batch—you are welcome to attend my Big Sis Bai’s class. I almost forgot that I was Big Sis Bai’s Teaching Assistant…”

”Absolutely, we will definitely attend next semester!”

”I also want to witness how terrifying the mentor who taught someone as incredible as Big Sis Xiao Han is!”

”Speaking of which… Big Sis Xiao Han calls Mentor Bai Yu ’Big Sis Bai’… and there are rumors on the Academy Network that Big Sis Xiao Han and Mentor Bai Yu have that kind of relationship… is it true?”

”Eh! I saw that too! I was a little incredulous at the time. I heard that Mentor Bai Yu almost went over to the Dragon Blood Academy and massacred them, all for the sake of avenging Big Sis Xiao Han…”

With these two starting the topic, a wave of gossip immediately rose up.

It seemed this relationship had fully piqued their curiosity!

”Uh… that… well, it is indeed that kind of relationship that you’re thinking of.”

In this atmosphere, the relationship that I was prepared to boldly admit was made a little awkward.

But this relationship didn’t need to be hidden from me, so I ultimately confirmed the relationship.

My confirmation immediately elicited a burst of cheers from the crowd, and a chorus of ”Ooh” rang out in the laboratory…

It took quite a while for this topic to pass.

However, after the topic of my relationship with Big Sis Bai passed, they shifted the conversation to another aspect.

In the end, it still revolved around me.

”Speaking of which, Big Sis Xiao Han is actually a Lesser Witch?”

”I’m also very curious about what a Lesser Witch is, as rumored on the Academy Network, and this title was personally announced by Academy Head Mei Linde!”

”Actually, I don’t know much about the concept of a Lesser Witch either. What I heard is that Lesser Witch generally refers to a Witch who has fallen from the status of a Transcendent Witch. But let me state upfront, I am not one of those. I was never a Transcendent Witch before, nor did I fall from Transcendent status. I was just an ordinary person who walked this path up until now.”

”Let me explain it.”

Hearing my explanation, Belica also interjected in a timely manner.

After all, she and a few others were Transcendent Witches here, and also mentors.

When their students encountered an unfamiliar concept, she naturally didn’t mind providing an appropriate explanation.

”What Xiao Han said is mostly correct. Lesser Witch originally referred to Transcendent Witches who fell from Transcendent status due to various reckless actions. However, Xiao Han’s situation is very unique, a special case of an individual acknowledged by the Witch race who is also walking the path of a Witch. The full title for a Prospective Witch who gained the Lesser Witch status in this manner is Honorary Lesser Witch, and not everyone is qualified to become one.”

”So… Big Sis Xiao Han’s status in the Witch Academy is second only to the Transcendent mentors?”

”Yes, Xiao Han’s status is very special. Otherwise, why do you think those who plotted against Xiao Han couldn’t even keep their Teaching Assistant status?”

”Wow… Big Sis Xiao Han, your status is that incredible?!”

”It’s not just incredible, is it? Big Sis Xiao Han is practically my idol! I want to join the Little Han Support Group!”

”Big Sis Xiao Han’s status is so incredible, yet she is so modest… those who plotted against Big Sis Xiao Han truly deserve what they got! They deserve to die!”

With this explanation, they immediately started to cheer again…

”Alright, alright, can you all stop praising me so much? And is it really okay for you all to be so gossipy?”

At this moment, I also couldn’t help but speak up, wanting to stop them from continuing these topics.

”Gossip is a Witch’s nature! Prospective Witches are also Witches!”

”Alright all of you, hurry up and eat. We’ve been eating one order of delivery food until now.”

”Why eat so quickly? We have one person here who doesn’t want to finish so quickly, because once we finish eating, a certain person will have to start cleaning up.”

”Oh, right I almost forgot. We’ll leave the hard work to you this time.”

At this moment, the young woman who was caught by her mentor earlier had a crestfallen face, as she was the designated sanitary officer by her mentor.

This was truly a case of speaking out of turn.

If she hadn’t brought up the matter of eating delivery food in the laboratory, this task might not have fallen to her.

”Wuwuwu, you guys are too heartless! Won’t any good sister accompany me?”

”Hmm… I don’t think so?”

”Cheer up I’ll support you in spirit!”

”Although we can’t be with you physically to clean up, we’ll be with you in time!”

”Then I’ll leave it to you. I’m going back to sleep for a bit.”

I also spoke up at this moment.

”Eh? Sleep for a bit?”

”Aiya Big Sis Xiao Han went through such a big incident and rushed here immediately. She definitely needs a good rest. Then, I’ll say goodnight to Big Sis Xiao Han in advance.”

”Oh right, I almost forgot. Big Sis Xiao Han was resurrected from the dead; she really should rest well!”

”What you said is a bit ambiguous, but never mind. Goodnight to you all, too. Only with sufficient sleep will you have sufficient energy. Don’t stay up all the time.”

I also reminded them as I was leaving.

”Oh, right, don’t spread the word that I’m still alive for the next few days, got it?”

”Don’t spread it? Ooh we got it.”

They quickly understood the deeper meaning behind my words and tacitly stopped discussing the matter.
