Chapter 875: The Secret Realm where the Great Snow Throne Spell was Originally Created
Following the accident of this dream experiment, the previous rumors regarding the Witch Academy having a major breakthrough in research in the field of the Primal Dream State had now been confirmed.
However... even so, Academy Head Mei Linde still kept her mouth shut very tightly and did not reveal such an important matter.
Nevertheless, this could not stump those very gossipy witches; the laboratory where the incident occurred was right before their eyes, so the witch who caused such a large commotion must certainly be among these few dozen witches, it was impossible for it to be any other witch.
First, the Academy Head who came as an avatar was excluded, then the fun-seeking Little Han, and her girlfriend Bai Yu.
After all, many witches who had some understanding of Bai Yu had already classified her as a genius in the field of Body Cultivation rather than in academic research.
And then... they discovered that the elimination method was no longer useful.
The remaining witches here seemed to all be academic witches with research in the Primal Dream State.
Regarding this, Mei Linde naturally let them keep guessing; anyway, they wouldn't be able to guess it.
With the Academy Head stepping forward, the accident of this experiment was also quickly settled.
And I once again returned to the daily routine of experiments.
As for Big Sis Bai, after preliminarily completing the construction of the Dream Domain order, she no longer needed to work as hard as before.
She only needed further refinement to improve the Dream Domain she mastered, and that was enough.
So Big Sis Bai ultimately remained here at the laboratory.
Actually, in the beginning, Academy Head Mei had proposed letting Bai Yu go over to the Expansion Realm, but ultimately compromised and let her continue to stay here at the laboratory.
Because once Big Sis Bai mastered a special dream order, she already had enough capital to step into the research field of the Primal Dream State.
In fact, because of this advantage of hers, even some casual research could yield a few results.
This mode was just like when I first came into contact with the Fireball through my Floating World-level Spirit Vision.
The Fireball was a spell that had been researched to death by countless witches.
But not every witch had witnessed a Floating World-level spell architecture and ritual framework.
Of course, as a witch without any foundation in the field of the Primal Dream State, Big Sis Bai naturally wouldn't choose to work alone right from the start.
She prepared to rely on this ability to explore the essence of the Primal Dream State together with several other witches.
This kind of research could also promote her understanding of the order within the Primal Dream State, which could be considered a self-improvement on another level.
Meanwhile, I continued to focus my energy on the purification of dream-state souls.
Accompanying the dual progress of the “Gestation Purification Method” and the “Information Deposition Method,” I seemed to have already foreseen the possibility of ultimate success.
And just as things on the laboratory side got on track, my clone “Yue” also acted as my will within the academy at this time.
After all, for the upcoming period of time, I was somewhat unable to leave the laboratory.
Therefore, I shifted the focus of handling trivial matters toward this clone, Yue.
And Millian no longer troubled me through the Seed of Great Knowledge, but interfaced directly with Yue.
At this moment, Millian and I were staying over at the Bakery Club.
Rarely, Millian had not chosen a place like a cafe or the Witch Cat Cafe.
Choosing to gather here naturally had other reasons as well; for example... the Bakery Club would, in name, belong to the “Little Han Support Group” from now on.
“Manager, you agreed so readily? Regardless, the Bakery Club should count as your life's blood, right?”
“Life's blood... actually, it can't really be called life's blood. Without the Bakery Club, I just wouldn't know what I should do every day. Seemingly full of energy every day, in reality I’m living in a muddle.”
“I agree with that point,” Senior Ying Shiqian, who was slacking on the side, spoke up.
The Bakery Club was not open for business today.
With Tan Han shining brilliantly in the arena, too many people had suddenly flooded into the previously relatively quiet Bakery Club.
They hadn't come to buy things.
Even if they had, Xia Li actually looked down on the money earned from this bread.
So the Bakery Club simply suspended business directly, and this state had already continued for many days.
Rarely, in this tiny Bakery Club, almost all the primary members had gathered at once.
The manager of the Bakery Club, Xia Li; the two staff members, Senior Ying Shiqian and Senior Tang Yihan; and the other core club member, Tan Han, had also come.
Plus my clone, and Millian, representing the Little Han Support Group.
Those desserts and cakes that were usually exquisite were currently placed here as decorations as if they cost no money.
Since they would all be in one club from now on, there was naturally no need to save on such club specialties.
Today, with the club members all present, there were naturally matters to discuss.
And the most important... was naturally regarding the matter of the Support Group's transformation.
From now on, the Support Group would be changed to the Bakery Club.
This was similarly removing the shackle named “Little Han” from the Support Group.
At least Millian felt that if one wanted to become a follower useful to Little Han, then it was naturally necessary to first take off that self-deceiving title and face one's identity as a follower.
And these people who were still willing to follow her would be the initial “foundation” under Millian.
Subsequently, Millian would follow my requirements, gathering those like-minded students in the academy together to expand this group.
I knew this was difficult.
Perhaps such a club would collapse or gradually change in flavor once I advanced to Transcendent, but I still wanted to do this.
“Little Han... is the philosophy of this kind of club a bit too idealized?”
“So you also feel this conception is meaningless?”
I looked toward Tan Han, who raised this question.
At this moment, compared to the past, she possessed even more efficiency and confidence.
Sure enough, powerful strength could truly change a person's temperament.
“No... I feel this thought is feasible, but wanting to execute it is very difficult. The simplest problem is, how to distinguish members who meet the requirements? Moreover, the nature of this kind of club... is more like the study societies I joined in high school. Does it truly rely purely on self-awareness?”
And there was one point Tan Han did not say: for a world-class top-tier academy like the Witch Academy to not even have the soil for the existence of a club similar to a study society—don't you think it's pathetic?
Among the students who enrolled, exactly how many took graduation as their goal?
And at what point did they give up on such ideals, their eyes blinded by the Transcendent power within reach...
“I have naturally thought about that point. However, within the academy, it has never been stipulated what a club should look like. Those people managed clubs into tools for the academy to amass wealth and unearth talent because those clubs are the manifestation of family wills. Since our pursuits are different, then there is naturally no need to follow their train of thought. No one has stipulated that the more people a club has, the better, right?”
Millian spoke.
“So... the Bakery Club will follow the route of elite members in the future?”
Tan Han inquired.
“Not just that. If possible, the Bakery Club will even give up the plan for recruiting new lower-grade students later. The academy has many stages to showcase students, from the Newcomer Competition to the subsequent Monthly Exams and finals. In fact, these are the tools to help us screen.”
“But this will also face another problem: why should such people choose our club?”
“Because our club can help them achieve Transcendent.”
This time, it was me who responded to Tan Han.
“Just like that? People are all profit-driven……”
“Isn't this just a secondary screening? If one cannot see through the essence of profit, naturally one cannot become the person they want to be. Our club won't help anyone become wealthy; we only need to forge ourselves into the most dazzling platform, a ladder to help people advance to Transcendent. Then the people who come will naturally be the people we expect.”
“This is indeed a very good thought…… but being so aloof from other clubs like this makes it easy to be targeted. Little Han, I understand those people don't dare to target you right now, but once you have such a club, the means they'll have to target the club will be numerous.”
“Isn't there still me? My existence is to solve these troubles for Big Sis Xiao Han.”
Millian immediately stood up and spoke.
“……”
Tan Han looked at Millian on the side and did not speak further.
She knew very well how large the problems facing this club would be by doing this.
It was even possible that Millian would be unable to handle it properly, but questioning these things now was meaningless.
“It looks like I should be unable to stop you from doing this. I hope you won't misunderstand; my words just now were not nitpicking.”
“It's fine. If I couldn't even handle your questioning, then I should have given up on this naive thought long ago.”
“Then... may I ask a meddlesome question? What was your original intention for wanting to do this?”
“Original intention?”
I looked at Tan Han with some surprise, but still quickly gave my answer.
“Perhaps... just purely wanting to leave some traces of mine before leaving.”
“Just that simple?”
“Mhm, just that simple.”
I nodded.
Actually, the main thing was that I felt I shouldn't be like this in the Main World; it was just that I was powerless to change an entire social structure.
Perhaps... Only after a massive reshuffle that sweeps the entire world will all of this change.
And even more importantly, I felt no sense of belonging to this Main World.
Upon wanting to leave, the interest of having “been here” sprouted.
After gaining a general understanding of my thoughts, Tan Han did not ask anything else on this topic.
As the manager of the Bakery Club, Xia Li also took this opportunity to converse with Millian.
Although the manager said against her will that this Bakery Club was not her life's blood, as her spiritual repository, the meaning of this Bakery Club was similarly very important.
Regarding the few questions Tan Han asked just now, Xia Li was also silently giving responses herself.
If the Bakery Club remained in her hands, then once she was no longer the manager, the Bakery Club would subsequently exist in name only.
Instead of slowly waiting for such an ending to descend, it was better to use it to gamble on a more meaningful decision.
And now, Millian also began chatting with the manager about club management and other matters.
Ying Shiqian and Senior Tang Yihan also huddled over to Tan Han and me out of boredom.
Because I was chatting with Tan Han about some of her recent affairs, as well as experiences with some techniques like Self-generating Magic Power, Body-transformation Spells, and so on.
It had to be said, Tan Han was indeed a genius.
Once I left her sight, she blossomed with her own radiance once more.
As we chatted, the topic gradually entered another important matter.
“The Wan Shi Wu club had a showdown with me. No, putting it that way isn't accurate; they haven't hidden their determination to take that thing from me from the very beginning.”
“Only this time, they were willing to talk to me calmly.”
Tan Han spoke.
“It looks like they feel you aren't to be trifled with?”
I responded with a smile.
“It's obvious. After all, I've beaten up several Teaching Assistants in the arena. Now no one dares to have an unrestricted match with me.”
When Tan Han said this, her gaze turned toward me.
Inexplicably, a hint of eager battle intent seemed to rise in her eyes.
“So what did they say to you?”
I ignored this look from Tan Han and continued to ask.
Currently, I had no thought of battling others.
After all, for the current me to crush those below Transcendent was effortless.
Even Tan Han, who had similarly driven Self-generating Magic Power to a very refined level, could not compare.
“They talked to me about the matter of [Transcendent Knowledge], and also revealed secrets to me that I had never heard of.”
“They still haven't given up, huh?”
Hearing Tan Han mention this matter again, I was also a bit surprised.
Unknowingly, so much time had passed; I had almost forgotten that so-called Heart of Cold Tide, one of which was still hidden here with me.
“That is natural.”
Tan Han nodded and spoke.
From the tone just now, Tan Han heard the surprise in my words.
That tone was like the illusion of asking back “you've been fighting over this piece of junk until now.”
“Additionally... I also learned that the predecessor of this [Transcendent Knowledge], which is that Grand Spellbook, was named... the Great Snow Throne Spell.”
“And then? Since they had a showdown with you, how did matters develop next?”
I inquired with curiosity.
“How should I put it... That time they sought me out, it wasn't actually just Wan Shi Wu, but another club as well, called the Witch's Secret Realm Club.”
“Ha? Truly can hear these two legendary clubs everywhere. What did they say to you afterward?”
“The Witch's Secret Realm Club manages and operates the Witch's Secret Realms on behalf of the Witch Academy. The classification of these secret realms is very numerous; there are those for students to experience challenges, and also... research secret realms for Transcendent mentors.”
Tan Han's tone was somewhat serious, as if brewing for what she was about to say next.
“So?”
“The Witch's Secret Realm Club possesses that experimental secret realm where the Great Snow Throne Spell was originally shaped. This is acknowledged by mentors. This secret realm is the experimental area where that group of mentor teams stayed when they were developing the Great Snow Throne Spell back then.”
After listening to Tan Han's description, the first thing I thought of was the Fool's Village Secret Realm created when Academy Head Mei was researching the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell.
Regarding matters of the Great Snow Throne Spell, I had heard the Academy Head talk about them, but I truly hadn't inquired about the process of its creation.
Much less did I know it actually was born within a Witch's Secret Realm.
“Now this secret realm has had its restrictions lifted by the academy and handed over to the Witch's Secret Realm Club to handle independently. Rumor has it that within this secret realm, there seemingly remains the complete research data for the Great Snow Throne Spell.”
“Ah? For real? Something so important... just released like that? And letting a club handle it independently?”
I inquired with a frown.
