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

Chapter 737: Secret Manual of Body Cultivation

“Is there something else this time?”

I looked at the communication transmitted through the Great Tree of Knowledge.

The person on the other side was Millian Baker.

During this period, she could be said to be the only person from the outside world who could contact me.

“It’s like this. Recently, many people have found me, hoping to get in touch with you. I still have the contact information they left here, and some are even invitations involving some...”

“No need. I can’t be bothered to deal with those fellows from the Academy. Just turn them down directly next time.”

I waved my hand and declined all of them.

Regarding those who were currently showing favor to me, I simply had no time to pay them any mind.

Especially after the news broke that I had received the high honor of being a “Lesser Witch,” it had attracted many people who hoped to make themselves known to me.

Actually, I had encountered this kind of situation before.

However, back then, there were no small number of people who wanted to curry favor with me and those who resisted me.

Therefore, most were just in a wait-and-see state.

At most, they would privately send some things to get close, but most of those items were gathering dust in the mailbox.

But now it was out in the open.

Even the Academy Head had taken a side for me, head-on confronting all the Transcendent Academies.

The impact of this action was a grand occasion that had never appeared in the history of the Witch Academy up until now!

“Alright, I understand your meaning.”

Millian Baker nodded.

Understanding Xiao Han’s attitude was equivalent to knowing how to handle such matters in the future.

After Xiao Han’s figure appeared in the Witch Academy again, her status within the support group rose to the peak once more, even far higher than before.

Millian Baker knew very well who had brought all of this.

And what she knew even better was the impact of so many Transcendent Mentors and even the Academy Head standing up for Xiao Han.

This made everyone clear that a presence that no one could afford to offend had been born in the Witch Academy.

Because of Xiao Han’s “death,” several Transcendents were directly dragged down to be buried with her.

This was a level they didn’t even dare to imagine before.

And the thing that acted as a deterrent to them was... even Transcendents would die!

Did they still dare to touch this Lesser Witch?

How was that any different from seeking death directly?

It was better to keep one’s own dignity.

Precisely because Millian Baker understood these principles better, Millian Baker, who had just climbed up from the bottom, was in no hurry to establish prestige in the support group, nor did she purge those rebellious members.

Because it was meaningless.

Her prestige originated from that Teaching Assistant Xiao Han.

If she were too high-profile, it would instead look like she was holding a chicken feather as a command arrow, causing people to look down on her.

By acting as if nothing had happened, everyone would be fine and at ease, allowing them to continue creating value.

She knew very well who she was following, and she knew very well what she was going to do.

Was she aiming to develop a group absolutely loyal to Xiao Han?

No.

At the very beginning, she was just a mouthpiece to fight for the greatest benefits for Xiao Han.

Even now, she should still fight for the greatest benefits for Xiao Han.

Cooperation led to mutual benefit; you couldn’t expect a merchant to offer loyalty to a single person.

The Xiao Han Support Group was nothing more than an interest group wearing the skin of a support group.

She only needed to do two things now: create the maximum profit for Xiao Han, and when Xiao Han caused some incident, ensure there would be more mouths speaking for Xiao Han.

A motley crowd should be used in the way of a motley crowd to exert their greatest value.

Interests and the right to speak were the things she needed to hold in her hands... coupled with Xiao Han’s absolute strength, as well as her absolute background and interpersonal relationships within the Witch Academy.

Such a terrifying existence had a much greater influence in the Transcendent Academy than those outside families!

Furthermore, the Witch Academy’s current strikes and targeting of families and their Teaching Assistants were further shrinking the influence of families within the Academy.

The Xiao Han Support Group was also constantly absorbing those talented students without backgrounds.

The support group was merely a loose organization, but by putting on this title, it could accomplish many things that could not be done before.

Therefore, this group was very attractive to those without a backer.

“Then, Big Sis Xiao Han, do you currently need any transcendent materials? Although I’m not quite sure what experiment you’re currently conducting, generally speaking, experiments basically require a large amount of materials. I can prepare them for you; the funds here are very abundant.”

“Materials...”

Being told this by Millian Baker, I also fell into thought.

Experiments did indeed require a large amount of materials.

Even though our current experiment had not yet reached the level of needing massive consumption, nearly approaching a level of no waste.

However, the process of Metamorphic Incubation had “wear and tear” on the experimenters themselves.

Therefore, some casting materials commonly used in the Resurrection Spell would be necessary materials for the subsequent experiments.

Moreover, after undergoing Metamorphic Incubation, it was a huge test for the essence of life as well as one’s own energy and consciousness.

It also required potions for conditioning and so on.

“I don’t need them for the time being. Go find Yi Rui and the others. Currently, I am cooperating with Yi Rui and the others on some projects. They know best what is most needed; just interface with them.”

I said.

“Go find Teaching Assistant Yi Rui and the others?”

Hearing that she couldn’t handle matters for Big Sis Xiao Han, Millian Baker was somewhat disappointed.

However, since that Teaching Assistant Yi Rui and Big Sis Xiao Han were cooperating on some research, this was also a disguised way of sharing Big Sis Xiao Han’s burdens, so she naturally acted very actively.

“But I can’t enter the experimental area where Teaching Assistant Yi Rui and the others often stay...”

“Oh, I almost forgot. Don’t worry, I’ll set up the permissions for you in a moment.”

I said simply, without adding too many requirements.

Millian Baker was “more sensible” than I had expected.

She was much more mature than I was in many worldly ways, so there was naturally no need for me to teach her how to do things.

“Okay, thank you, Big Sis Xiao Han!”

After hearing what I said, Millian Baker showed a shocked expression.

Just now, she had only mentioned it slightly.

Even if she couldn’t enter, she had Teaching Assistant Yi Rui’s Great Seed of Knowledge connection method and could contact the other party directly.

But she hadn’t expected Big Sis Xiao Han to directly give her the permission to enter that place!

Could you believe it?

Let’s put it this way: that mentor she chose, who didn’t really care about her, didn’t even have the qualifications to enter here...

Although Xiao Han hadn’t instructed anything, she didn’t dare to do anything out of line at all.

She was not yet that short-sighted.

“Then, Big Sis Xiao Han, do you have anything you want? During this holiday period, not only our Witch Academy but also other Transcendent Academies are successively having various auctions. Do I need to organize the item information of those auctions for you?”

“I don’t need anything. But if you see something you think is good, you can bid on it and keep it. Just consider it as accumulating wealth.”

I spoke casually.

Regarding accumulating family assets, this again made me think of the Shop Manager’s little treasury.

“Alright.”

Millian Baker nodded and said no more.

Having a backer who set the degree of freedom to the highest, Millian Baker found it difficult to adapt for a time.

But for someone who truly had ambition, this was the best stage.

Did she, Millian Baker, have no ambition?

Of course she did!

Otherwise, would she have dared to directly stake everything she had on Xiao Han before?

Now this was the reward.

It could only be said that she had chosen a very good timing back then.

Sometimes, choice truly outweighed effort.

But... she still lacked many things.

After all, she used to be just a small character being ordered around in a club.

There were some things that, if you hadn’t experienced them, you really wouldn’t understand.

She had also grown a lot along the bumpy road, but compared to those very experienced clubs in the Academy, she was still quite green.

But it didn’t matter.

Her solid backer destined that she still had many opportunities for trial and error, as long as... she could still prove her value.

“Anything else? If it’s just these matters, then let’s hang up. I have a lot of things to be busy with.”

I said.

I was not interested in those who wanted to curry favor with me.

Now I was not interested in those auctions either.

Even if something was better, could it compare to the things I obtained from Academy Head Mei Linde?

Those good things, even if I wanted to digest and utilize them, would take a long time.

I couldn’t throw away a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.

However, having someone help me pick them up on my behalf was also a good method.

“There’s one last thing.”

Millian Baker said hurriedly.

“What is it?”

“It’s about your broth... younger sister, Yang Yunhan. Regarding the arrangements for her...”

“Don’t worry about her. You shouldn’t be unaware of the grievances between me and her, right? Just treat her as a stranger whose name is very similar to mine.”

Hearing this matter, I sighed and then explained.

“Big Sis Xiao Han... are you sure? From the intelligence I’ve gathered, she seems to have been hoodwinked by a senior into getting involved with Fengqing Street... Although out of concern for your relationship, the other party didn’t...”

“Fengqing Street...”

Hearing this place, I still couldn’t help but sigh.

As expected of the place in the Witch Academy that ruins people the most.

“That also has nothing to do with me. Even if she becomes the top star over there, what does it have to do with me? If she insists on debasing herself, that is her own choice.”

Of course, mainly because they were all girls over there, no lives would be lost.

Even after becoming a Reserve Witch, one would directly lose the ability to reproduce.

So what was there to worry about?

The curiosity and fantasies of children in their rebellious phase about sex always needed some practice to be shattered.

“I understand your meaning.”

Millian Baker was somewhat surprised, but also found it understandable.

In the end, she chose to respect it.

Since Big Sis Xiao Han had this attitude, she would collect less intelligence about this person in the future.

By the way... this information could also be disclosed to some people in the support group, saving them from wasting their energy.

Now there were still some fellows in the support group dreaming of currying favor with that one, wanting to get in touch with Big Sis Xiao Han.

After hanging up the communication with Millian Baker, I also prepared to do my own things.

But before that, I also incidentally contacted Yi Rui and the others.

After all, I had let a Millian Baker in, so I had to tell them in advance.

Otherwise, it would not be good if some accident was caused.

Millian Baker’s positioning was to help provide assistance.

The experiments conducted in the laboratory indeed required various materials.

It’s just that... I seemed to prefer using my own methods to try.

For example... studying Runology.

I directly condensed runes and coordinated with the Great Tree of Knowledge to study directly.

Even in the past, when I didn’t have the Great Tree of Knowledge, I overcame numerous difficulties and observed directly.

Until I understood that studying Runology required using transcendent materials as carriers to stabilize the rune structure, and then equipment could be used for in-depth research...

So it turns out the process of my research in the past was all cost-free?

Of course, the so-called cost-free did not include the consumption of transcendent energy.

But this was mainly due to many other reasons.

For instance, I didn’t need to be so troublesome.

Spirit Vision at the Floating World level was my best observation equipment.

Furthermore, my study of Runology was mainly the accumulation of broad theories; it hadn’t reached the level of deep research into every single rune yet.

Later on, there was the Great Tree of Knowledge for simulation and recording, which allowed for the in-depth study of runes...

So along the way, to say I came from a wild background would be an understatement.

Not to mention that I now had the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell and the ability to hand-craft equipment using plant technology on the spot.

It had to be said that the title of “Paragon of Cost-free Transcendent Scientific Research” hanging over my head was an endorsement for this title.

Now... since the conditions were already there, I naturally had to become extravagant.

However, not unexpectedly, I would still continue my research according to my own pace.

Many regulations and rules in experiments were for better improving the efficiency of research, but this one didn’t apply to me.

This was the self-confidence of having results and strength.

Those regulations were like the regulations in my laboratory—existing in name only.

As for me... for the next period of time, I would probably not continue to stay in the laboratory.

Instead, I would be in the Physical Arts Training Hall specially opened for me by Big Sis Bai.

Since I had already decided to use physical arts and Martial Path Runes as a breakthrough point for testing, I naturally had to practice physical arts.

Physical arts was something that didn’t fit with the laboratory.

Therefore, Big Sis Bai didn’t hesitate to use her privilege to open a Physical Arts Training Hall for me.

A place specifically used for one-on-one private instruction and hand-to-hand teaching of physical arts cultivation.

“In the power system of the Forest Elf race, there are also traces of Body Cultivation, and there are elven physical arts specifically for cultivation.

Their physical arts are more inclined towards the flexibility of the body, mainly training the control of the torso and ligaments, and so on.

Moreover, it is a great test of a person’s reaction ability...”

As Big Sis Bai spoke, she held something in her hand.

It was a small wooden-textured tablet with irregular edges.

Unique Elf Magic and runes were carved upon it.

This was one of the items belonging to the Aphrodite Academy among the items I got from Academy Head Mei Linde.

According to the information description of the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell, this belonged to the wooden skin slough of the Aphrodite World Tree’s offshoot, which was the wooden skin that had cracked and sloughed off.

It belonged to the category of transcendent materials with extremely low yield.

Although this was not the main body of the Forest Elf World Tree, but the offshoot in the main world, it was still extremely precious.

It contained a massive amount of World Tree essence energy.

Wearing it could slowly promote the enhancement of the torso and increase natural affinity.

Elven runes were inscribed on it, locking in the energy dissipation; only the wearer could perfectly enjoy the augmentation it brought.

Moreover, it was a consumable.

However, even when used up, this “bark” was still an excellent carrier for carrying natural energy, and its value was not low.

“It must be said that there are quite a lot of good things in other Transcendent Academies. However, we don’t plan to teach you elven physical arts today.”

“Eh? Then what will I learn?”

I took this tablet and wore it close to my body, then looked at Big Sis Bai curiously, with a hint of expectation in my gaze.

“You told me you wanted to learn physical arts for the sake of practicing Martial Path Runes after reaching perfection. Since that’s the case, I have a systematic set of physical arts here that might be of great help to you. It’s called the Secret Manual of Body Cultivation. This secret manual is a collection of techniques, and also a complete set of physical arts skills. This one collection alone encompasses nine branches of physical arts techniques. Xiao Han, do you have the confidence to give it a try?”
