Chapter 719: Yang Yunhan is Being Targeted
After resting for a night, I immediately threw myself into research the next day.
And the events within the academy continued to ferment.
First was the announcement of the restricted opening of the Expansion Realm.
Many of the Teaching Assistants who had planned to go back and make one last profit after the Joint Exam Hunt ended no longer had the opportunity to enter the Expansion Realm.
However, the academy still promised to fulfill the contents of the contract, as this was information written into the contract.
But individuals who were no longer associated with the Witch Academy were not qualified to enter the Expansion Realm based on this contract.
After all, Witches are masters of contracts and would not write useless words into one.
This contract was for Teaching Assistants.
If one wasn't a Teaching Assistant… what right did they have to access the resources of the Expansion Realm?
It can be said that the Ninglan Land Boundary of the Expansion Realm had largely preserved its resources locally within the Expansion Realm.
The final interpretation right of the contract would only be in the hands of the Witches.
Whatever the academy intended to do, it would certainly accomplish.
If you had the means to profit, that was your own skill; if you didn't have the ability, don't claim those things belonged to you.
Everything… belonged to the Witch Academy.
However, one thing worth noting was that the loose organization like the "Little Han Support Group" in the Expansion Realm was allowed to enter the Expansion Realm during the holiday for the final handover of assets.
Many people questioned: Since Teaching Assistant Yang Yuehan was dead, why could her assets be handed over in the end?
Were they being taken back as an inheritance?
However, the Witch Academy was too lazy to give any response to these people.
And I also paid close attention to this matter during this time.
As for why I suddenly focused on this matter, first, this support group was closely related to me.
Second, although this large loose organization was not absolutely dominated by me, a considerable portion of the assets belonged to me, which I had entrusted to Millian to manage and develop.
And third… I was watching Millian.
To see how she would react to this sudden situation.
Without a backer, would she abscond with the funds, or… would she develop in some other unexpected way?
This was not a test of loyalty; at least, I didn't define it that way.
Whatever she did was "human nature"—to look out for oneself.
How could a living person be constrained by a "dead person"?
Most ordinary people would choose this; it could not be forced.
But if, during this misunderstanding, she exhibited a flash of brilliance that caught my eye, perhaps I would change my opinion of her.
Ultimately, this was still a threshold test.
Moreover, she had already passed the stage where she couldn't survive without me.
It is said that once people overcome the crisis of food, shelter, and survival, they will always pursue something of higher value, making choices that transcend the framework of self-interest.
Just like I already possessed the Self-generating Magic Power Physique talent, but was still willing to expand its lower limit so that more people could possess it.
You could say I was doing thankless labor or doing it for benefits that ordinary people don't know about, but this behavior would likely be perceived as foolishness by others.
Setting aside these matters.
Currently, another piece of news was circulating in the outside Transcendent Academies.
"Lesser Witch Yang Yuehan, who died in the Joint Exam Hunt, also has a younger brother who has participated in this year's college entrance examination."
This news quickly captured the attention of many people, inexplicably becoming popular.
However, all this information and these rumors deliberately avoided one issue: this younger brother was not related by blood to Yang Yuehan.
In fact, if no one deliberately brought it up, who would think that there would be no blood relationship between family members and relatives?
The reason this rumor became popular was primarily that it coincided with the annual "traditional art" of the Transcendent Academies.
That is, the fight for new students.
This was a reserved activity that originated from the Witch Academy and was popularized by the various Transcendent Academies.
This activity had developed to the point where it had many unspoken "hidden rules" and so on.
For example, not fighting over students in advance.
By hitting this popular topic, coupled with the deliberate guidance of some "Witches who did not wish to be named," it can be said that many academies had turned their attention to this young man named "Yang Yunhan."
In fact, many academies were very clear about the intelligence regarding this young man—for instance, that he did not have a single trace of blood relation to the Lesser Witch named Yang Yuehan.
The Aphrodite Academy, for example, had known this a year ago.
Even… the Elf student named "Yao Beijuan" had publicly mentioned this matter during the exchange competition.
However, this fact was not given much importance.
There is no difference or distinction in the bloodlines of ordinary people.
The change experienced by a person entering the Transcendent world is far greater than the difference between people of non-blood relations.
They valued the family.
The "terrible" family that could "cultivate" a Yang Yuehan could also possibly produce a second one.
Even if there was a difference between the two, it didn't matter.
It was just a "gamble."
They only needed the "qualification" for a gamble.
The college entrance examination volunteer application, snatching people, and enrollment are all a gamble, and the college entrance examination Destiny Ritual is meant to screen out a group of people who are destined not to be geniuses.
Don't say that this method would miss many geniuses; it is more convenient to screen and filter out the mud from the gold sand than to search for gold in the mud.
Therefore, this person who stumbled into the spotlight gained an additional value that was far disproportionate to his actual worth after his name became popular.
And I, having obtained this information, remained immersed in the laboratory.
The completion of the Metamorphic Incubation Spellbook was even faster than I had anticipated, so I completely handed over the research on this Spell to Yi Rui and her team, mainly to familiarize themselves with the characteristics of this Resurrection Spell.
And then, to attempt a derivation of this Spell.
During this time, Yi Rui and her team also formally began to engage with the power of Body Cultivation.
When I returned, I told Big Sis Bai about this matter, and Big Sis Bai was also very willing to open an extra private tutoring class during the holiday to help Yi Rui and her team gain exposure to the power of Body Cultivation.
I, meanwhile, was organizing the relevant matters concerning Self-generating Magic Power.
I now had a general direction, especially after gaining a certain understanding of the Totem.
The Totem was indeed a brick to knock open the threshold qualification for non-Transcendent beings to acquire Self-generating Magic Power.
The problem I needed to solve now had shifted to "formulating" a Body Cultivation advancement system similar to Witchification.
I planned to use my Self-awakened Body Cultivation as a template.
Using this to bridge the gap in the process of "nothing to having."
Of course, I already had some ideas for this system.
I planned to use the ready-made "framework" of the Magic Power Source as the foundation.
After all, one point I had to clarify was that the people who walk this path are naturally driven by the goal of "eventually becoming a Witch."
Therefore, this Body Cultivation system must be linked with Witchification, preferably using this framework as a prototype.
And what is the most unavoidable part of this process?
Undoubtedly, it is the "Magic Power Source."
Therefore, I planned to use the Magic Power Source as the core to architect a gradual "advancement system," and also limit the Magic Power Sources involved to within ten thousand.
Because people who do not have the Self-generating Magic Power Physique can only rely on the Earth Vein Chains to carry the Magic Power Source, and the upper limit is ten thousand.
At first glance, this method seems similar to the current process of advancing to Transcendent Witch using the Magic Power Source, but looking at it from another angle, this is a simplified process.
The significance of this simplification process is to possess Self-generating Magic Power before advancing to Transcendent Witch.
Doing this actually has many benefits.
First, the number of Magic Power Sources before advancing to Transcendent would not be limited to ten thousand.
Second, with the foundation of Self-generating Magic Power, the threshold for crossing into Transcendent would be lower.
And with the Self-generating Magic Power Physique, the Witch projects related to this physique would also be easier to research.
"This is…"
In the laboratory, Yi Rui looked at the preliminary plan I had given her, somewhat confused.
"Is this asking me to use the Magic Power Source to… perform active cultivation?"
"Yes, to cultivate in reverse by relying on the Magic Power Source."
I nodded, acknowledging this statement.
As someone who mastered the technique of Magic Power Source condensation, I was very familiar with the structure of the Magic Power Source.
My idea was very simple: to use the Magic Power Source as the architecture for reverse cultivation, and the cultivation system would use Body Cultivation as the framework, a Body Cultivation system evolved from the foundation of "Witchification Body Cultivation."
Generally speaking, Self-generating Magic Power should lead to the condensation of the Magic Power Source, but I was operating in reverse, relying on the Magic Power Source to cultivate, leading to Self-generating Magic Power.
Actually, this idea is very simple and has no threshold, but the "goal" that needs to be achieved by doing this has a very high threshold.
I needed to use this method to analyze Self-generating Magic Power in reverse, and only I could perform this analysis.
Broken down, the process is: use the Magic Power Source as the cultivation medium, embark on a special Body Cultivation system, reach the level of Self-awakened Body Cultivation, and then architect Self-generating Magic Power through Self-awakened Body Cultivation.
This was the method that "I" alone could achieve.
Only if this path was successful could I attempt to lower the threshold of "Self-awakened Body Cultivation" to the level of "general Body Cultivation."
Then, through continuous correction of the Body Cultivation path and accommodating its effects, I could bypass the threshold of Self-awakened Body Cultivation and arrive at Self-generating Magic Power.
This was my initial train of thought.
But building upon the initial train of thought, I architected more "actually feasible methods," making this a genuinely viable path.
Never hope for a solution in one step.
No matter how difficult or winding the road, only by forging a path can one have the qualification and confidence to discover a better one.
"Cultivating by relying on the Magic Power Source… this is truly… a first-time experience."
Yi Rui took out a Magic Power Source from within her body and began to try according to my method.
In fact, the initial attempt was to twist the path of "Witchification Body Cultivation" into a model of "active cultivation" and enhance the efficiency of the training.
The effect of doing this was equivalent to the process of accelerating the body's Witchification using high-concentration Magic Power during the experiment, only the current method was more "gentle" and "systematic."
Only if the first stage, the "one Magic Power Source" model, succeeded would I be qualified to discuss using the Magic Power Source as a cultivation node for Body Cultivation and gradually discussing "nothing to having."
And the "method" for this cultivation came from the Totem of Self-generating Magic Power.
Because I found that the Totem was also a "template" for reverse derivation.
It explained the result of the Transcendent from another perspective, and to reverse-derive the effect of the Totem, an equivalent understanding was also required.
Only after understanding it oneself could one express it specifically using runes or rituals in a way that one understood.
And my role was that of an "understanding and conversion relay station."
This was also something only I, who mastered the Totem, could achieve; others couldn't help me at all.
"Tsk… Ah… failed…"
Yi Rui tried several times in a row, all ending in failure, because she and the Magic Power Source were two separate entities.
The Magic Power Source could not become a medium within her Body Cultivation system.
This clashed with my initial hypothesis.
The essence of Body Cultivation is self-growth and metamorphosis.
Even Witchification is only a catalytic self-growth process achieved by utilizing the Magic Power from the Magic Power Source.
Therefore, the Magic Power Source itself could not become a part of Body Cultivation.
Furthermore, the Magic Power Source was an item suited for the Transcendent Witch Physique.
It had no compatibility with a Prospective Witch.
So… at this point, the Metamorphic Incubation Spell was needed to cooperate.
While Metamorphic Incubation could not directly help a person reach the level of Self-awakened Body Cultivation, nor achieve the one-step transformation to Self-generating Magic Power Physique, it could continuously "derive" and evolve the body into a "physique" that was compatible with the Magic Power Source.
This compatibility was not the acceptance of the Magic Power Source like Self-generating Magic Power, but rather a way for ordinary people to cultivate the Body Cultivation system that I had modified.
Let's temporarily name this Body Cultivation system the "Magic Power Source Body Cultivation Method."
After all, in my conception, this Body Cultivation was cultivated using the Magic Power Source as a medium.
As for why this troublesome method was needed for Body Cultivation… it was because the Magic Power Source was an excellent medium to serve as a ritual node.
The entire "Magic Power Source Body Cultivation" was aimed at analyzing the "Compound Ritual" that gave birth to the Self-generating Magic Power Physique talent.
It was a model equivalent to a "Pseudo-Self-awakened Body Cultivation," and one that could only give birth to the specific derivation of "Self-generating Magic Power."
Now, there were two problems waiting for us to solve.
One was the problem that Yi Rui and her group needed to solve: successfully cultivating the "Magic Power Source Body Cultivation" model by relying on Metamorphic Incubation, and summarizing the cultivation method for this Body Cultivation model, which also needed to be generally applicable to pave the way for universal promotion.
As for me, I needed to use the Self-awakened Body Cultivation I had mastered to analyze the ritual architecture that gave birth to Self-generating Magic Power.
As long as I completed this analysis and mastered that ritual and architecture, this ritual would be quickly synchronized into the "Magic Power Source Body Cultivation" model that Yi Rui and her team were cultivating.
In theory, Yi Rui and her team could then systematically cultivate the initial state of Self-generating Magic Power.
That is, the state of Self-generating Magic Power where I could initially only generate a strand of Magic Power.
Once the process of "nothing to having" was completed, the subsequent "having to completeness" would no longer be a problem!

A phone rang.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, is this student Yang Yunhan? I am a mentor from the Holy Angel Academy Admissions Office. First, congratulations on being accepted by our Holy Angel Academy…"
"Eh! Wait, wait a minute… my college entrance examination scores haven't been released yet, have they?"
"I understand your concerns, but that doesn't matter. Our Holy Light Church has already assessed you previously and confirmed that you are qualified to enter our Holy Angel Academy. Our Holy Angel Academy is one of the Three Great Top-tier Academies and possesses the most top-tier…"
"This… okay, okay… mhm…"
Yang Yunhan held the phone, nodding blankly, playing along with what the other person was saying.
No matter how elaborate the other person's words were, at this moment, all he could hear in his ear was the echoing sentence:
"The Holy Light Church values you because you are my brother, not because you are excellent!"
Therefore, the more tempting the other person's words were, the more it only represented how excellent his brother… sister was, not how sought after he himself was.
And just after he hung up the phone, his phone rang again.
It was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
"Hello, is this student Yang Yunhan? I am an admissions mentor from the Aphrodite Academy. First, congratulations on becoming a pre-enrolled member of our academy…"
"Aphrodite… Academy?!"
