Chapter 725: Don't You Hate Me? Wouldn't That Be Too Boring?
"What trickery is this again?"
The people from the Wizard Academy were truly afraid that the next moment the Lesser Witch named "Yang Yuehan" would jump out of the Book in the Casket that Millian was holding!
But now, such a small figure suddenly appeared.
It was only after confirming that her appearance was distinctly different from the figure in their memories that they completely relaxed.
But this relaxation only lasted for an instant.
That translucent, non-corporeal little figure transformed into a Ritual, and the architecture of the Ritual was completed in a flash.
Even under the suppression of the Great Weakening Spell in the Main World, this Summoning Ritual, combined with the Reverse Summoning Spell, unfolded very rapidly.
Along with the Summoning Spell's unique dazzling light screen and the spanning space it enveloped, a figure gradually materialized.
When this figure appeared before the crowd, everyone, especially the people from the Wizard Academy, held their breath!
And Yang Yunhan, who was being held by the Wizard Academy, widened his eyes in disbelief!
His pupils were filled with shock and an uncontrollable suppression—a jealousy that had never been overcome since birth, and an inferiority that was almost etched into his bones.
"What a coincidence. It seems everyone is here?"
At this moment, the slightly flippant voice could not alleviate the current tense atmosphere.
After I appeared, I instinctively scanned the entire area.
Relying on the power of the Five Senses Enhancement Body Cultivation, I could clearly perceive the presence of every person present through other sensory channels, even without looking.
And with a wave of my hand, Fool's Blue, who was in a Mimetic Soul state, floated into my hand.
With just this movement, Fool's Blue had already transformed into a physical body and happily jumped into my arms.
"Hehe Big Sis Xiao Han. The experiment was a success this time."
Fool's Blue said happily.
The success of the experiment, in Fool's Blue's words, naturally referred to an idea I had conceived long ago: using the characteristics of the Fool's Dream Clan to achieve ultra-visual range attack.
Fool's Blue's appearance did not rely on the Book in the Casket in Millian's hand, nor was it the Fool's Dream Clan member hiding in the Book in the Casket beforehand.
It was a "deployment" utilizing the special relationship between the Fool's Dream Clan and the Meditation Method of Enlightenment, shedding the body that constrained their original Dream State essence, and using my Soul Dream State as a medium.
The Book in the Casket merely served as an "Anchor."
However, this anchor could be anything.
I was still defining the boundaries of this anchor, but what was certain was that its definition of the relationship was broader than the Spatial Marker of a Teleportation Spell.
And the Mimetic Soul of the Fool's Dream Clan inherited the "characteristics" of the soul and the Dream State, so they could be deployed through the Dream State.
The Mimetic Soul was also a carrier that could be integrated with my Clone Spell Technique, so inscribing the Reverse Summoning Spell Ritual onto Fool's Blue's Mimetic Soul was also very simple.
And after my arrival, I used the Reincarnation Spell to quickly reconstruct a physical body for the Fool's Dream Clan member, using the original body material of the Fool's Dream Clan.
The Fool's Dream Clan is inherently a creature of Dream State essence, so a physical body in the material world holds no meaning for them.
Thus, the Fool's Dream Clan member could change their body using the Reincarnation Spell much more easily than a true life form.
"Big Sis Xiao Han?! Is that you! Is it really you?"
My appearance instantly caused the excited crowd to speak in repetition; their shock was so profound that even language could not express their inner astonishment.
"Impossible! Yang Yuehan is dead! You can't be her at all!"
At this moment, a completely different voice erupted from the Wizard Academy side.
"You're fake! The Holy Angel's Resurrection Spell couldn't revive her. You are not Yang Yuehan at all!"
Compared to the shock and joy on the Witch Academy side, the Wizard Academy side was more hysterical.
Although these people hadn't participated in the encirclement and annihilation during the hunt and weren't entirely clear about their academy's plan to hunt down Yang Yuehan, the death of a genius always brought a natural sense of pleasure to those who were content with the status quo.
"Big Sis Xiao Han."
At this moment, Millian was entirely without the previous pressure, and she wasn't as surprised as the other students, as if she had already anticipated this situation.
However, the suppressed joy in her eyes could not escape the perception of Heart Sense.
Millian stepped forward and handed over the Book in the Casket.
"Mhm, thank you."
I took the Book in the Casket and thanked her briefly.
After all, that was indeed an experiment.
This Book in the Casket was given to Millian by Big Sis Bai.
Its purpose was a final guarantee.
If the experiment failed, I would use the Book in the Casket as an anchor to teleport over, and the result would have been the same.
After all, I came here for one thing: to fulfill the promise I made earlier.
I admit that the promise was made somewhat carelessly before, which led me to not want to waste more time here now.
After all, I was immersed in the study of the Self-awakened Body Cultivation Totem not long ago.
Instead of running over myself and watching where they took Yang Yunhan, it was better to have someone monitor them for me.
However, when I looked at the Wizard Academy side again, I was somewhat surprised to notice their current "state."
The Destiny, which was almost impossible for me to ignore, was like a vortex, continuously drawing more people into it here.
Under the deduction of my Destiny Gazing Technique, my gaze ultimately locked onto a crystal ball in the hand of one of the Wizards.
It seemed to be a Destiny Alchemical Item?
No, in the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell, it appeared to be a Sorcery Tool.
I had seen many items created from the concept of Destiny, such as the "Heart of Ninglan" in Ninglan New City, which was a Transcendent Item.
Qiu Ruxin's pendant also had Destiny interference and was also a Transcendent Item.
There was even the Witch named Trixie Destiny, who called herself a Destiny Alchemist.
She also refined the phantom of my Seed of Destiny into a Destiny Coin, which fell into the category of Alchemical Items.
Now, a Destiny Crystal Ball also appeared; it seemed unsurprising.
The fact that these Wizards possessed such an item seemed to imply many things, but I was too lazy to delve deeply into the significance behind it.
As I took steps forward, the oppressive feeling I brought grew stronger.
Perhaps my life level was not as profound as theirs, but my aura and reputation were enough to make them hesitant to attack me.
"You! Don't come any closer!"
"Is this all you have? You look truly pathetic with your bluster. Didn't you just clamor that I wasn't Yang Yuehan?"
"Do you really think we wouldn't dare to attack you!"
"Attack? With just you all? Or with that Destiny Crystal Ball in your hands?"
I said with disdain.
Although I wasn't entirely clear about the effect of this crystal ball, its information seemed to have been wiped from the Earth Vein.
The information queried by the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell seemed to be only the objective data of its usage from the time it was wiped until now, making it a bit troublesome to look into.
It seemed that the proliferation of the Seed of Knowledge also made other Transcendent Academies aware of methods to counteract the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell.
However, just during the time I took to walk over, I also used the Destiny Gazing Technique to understand the general effect of this Sorcery Tool: it could gather Destiny and augment it onto them.
Fighting them would give one a suffocating feeling.
But this alone was not enough.
If the gap in combat power was too great between the two sides, the advantage of this Destiny augmentation had its limits.
After all, what they held was merely a Destiny Sorcery Tool; it couldn't even compare to a true Child of Destiny.
"I'll give you an opportunity to launch an attack at me. Do you dare to strike?"
My tone was very flippant, sounding like a provocation to them.
In the end, they were all people who had not personally witnessed my strength.
Whether it was my Domain or other means, they had only seen them through rumors or live broadcasts at best.
So, after I finished speaking, they couldn't bear this humiliation any longer.
They roared in anger and charged toward me, relying on their numerical advantage.
"You really dare to."
I looked at them charging at me, feeling somewhat surprised and delighted.
If this group of people were too sensible, I would truly have a hard time finding an excuse to deal with them.
But now they were the ones who struck first!
After all… I was interested in the Destiny Sorcery Tool in their hands.
Although a Sorcery Tool cannot be used by a non-Wizard, it was still an object strongly related to Destiny.
I coincidentally knew Big Sis Trixie, and I was sure this Destiny Alchemist would be interested in this item.
If possible, I also wanted to obtain some materials on Destiny Alchemy from her.
And the reason I became interested in Destiny was primarily related to the Reverse Summoning Spell.
After all, the Reverse Summoning Spell had previously exhibited the "characteristic" of using Destiny threads from other worlds as the summoning medium to trigger the Spell's effect.
So, I was thinking that the derivation of the Reverse Summoning Spell might exist in a domain related to Destiny.
If I could, I wanted to take this Destiny Alchemy material and this idea to find Teacher Ji Niang.
It seemed I hadn't actively sought her out in a while, and bringing a gift was quite normal, right?
And now, facing dozens of Wizards employing various means, I remained calm and composed.
However, I didn't immediately activate my Domain, as that would truly be too much bullying.
The power of the Domain was something that Lilianna had already confirmed: even a strong individual at the Teaching Assistant level could not resist it.
And these Wizards were merely high-grade students who hadn't reached the Teaching Assistant level.
However, the Teaching Assistants of the Wizard Academy seemed to be called… Wizard Tower Keeper?
Wizard Apprentices who served the Transcendent Wizards of the Wizard Tower Keeper were essentially the same nature as the Teaching Assistants of the Witch Academy.
It could only be said that due to the architecture of the Wizard Tower, the Wizard Tower Keeper's position had very little inflation, at least much less than the Teaching Assistants of the Witch Academy.
Therefore, the Transcendent Witches of the Witch Academy were too lenient with their Teaching Assistants.
Now, facing these bizarre Sorceries, without the restriction of the contract and the Power Network, I can only say that dealing with them… was effortless!
The Spells in my Spellbooks covered a wide range.
The accumulation from the past, along with the gifts and exchanges with many Witch Sisters, made my accumulation of Spellbook types exceptionally rich.
I didn't need those high-consumption Spellbooks, so most of my Spellbooks were the type with a consumption of less than one hundred.
Coupled with the derivations based on the Spellbook as a platform and the Spell as a prototype, the effect my Spells could achieve would multiply exponentially.
Don't forget that the derivative research for these Spellbooks had not stopped for a moment within the Great Tree of Knowledge!
Therefore, in terms of versatile and bizarre means, I was more terrifying than these Wizards at this moment.
In just the first clash, they didn't even manage to touch the hem of my garment.
However, I did not let down my guard.
The fact that I had such a huge advantage was inseparable from the power of my Body Cultivation, but the power erupted by these Destiny-augmented Wizards was somewhat beyond my imagination.
If I hadn't had the power perception of Body Cultivation, if I hadn't had the rich array of Spell means and Spell derivations, and if I hadn't had the information analysis and coordination provided by the Great Tree of Knowledge, the pressure these people exerted on me would have been immense.
This feeling even faintly reminded me of my first battle with Tan Han.
It was a helplessness—being pushed toward failure by Destiny and being powerless to resist.
But now… I had too many powers that exceeded that scope to break this predetermined development.
I can only say they truly picked the wrong opponent.
Moreover, I also possessed the Destiny Gazing Technique.
Observing from the Destiny level allowed me to directly infer, in reverse, how to defeat their converged Destiny in the fastest and most convenient way.
Describing this battle as cheating would be an understatement.
Therefore, I didn't want to waste any more time on this battle.
"All you minor characters, leave the stage. Meaningless struggle will only make you look more pathetic. I can only say you chose the wrong target."
As I spoke, I walked toward Yang Yunhan.
He was the purpose of my trip, and the only purpose.
"You! Are you human or ghost?!"
At this moment, Yang Yunhan was so frightened by my approach that he subconsciously retreated, eventually tripping over the fragments splattered by the battle aftermath and sitting down hard on the ground.
"I am neither human nor ghost. To be precise, I should be considered a… Lesser Witch."
My figure stopped a short distance in front of Yang Yunhan.
"You want to take me to the Witch Academy?"
Yang Yunhan questioned me with reluctance after forcing himself to calm down.
The successive blows left his inner grievances with nowhere to vent.
However, in front of me, even though he was terrified, he unconsciously treated me as the final outlet for his anger.
This psychology also indirectly showed that he inwardly felt that I wouldn't care about these words of his and would at most respond with some words of shame, because I had basically never hit him since he was a child.
If it were anyone else… they might have slapped him.
But I wouldn't.
I would only give him a lifelong unforgettable lesson from my self-proclaimed identity as his brother.
He even felt that after witnessing the means of those Transcendent beings, it wasn't impossible for them to kill him…
But I wouldn't.
The former me would only give him a lifelong unforgettable lesson from my self-proclaimed identity as his brother.
"Do you already have another choice in your heart?"
Facing Yang Yunhan's questioning, I also countered with a question.
Yang Yunhan fell silent, but the brief silence was replaced by a louder outburst.
At this moment, he was like a rebellious teenager… but considering his age… he really was.
"Yes! I already have my own choice! I want to go to the Wizard Academy! I scored over seven hundred! I have the right to choose for myself! I am not valued by others just because I am your brother!"
But after venting these words, he completely disregarded the fact that his so-called choice was made in just dozens of seconds.
"Go to… the Wizard Academy? Over seven hundred points?"
I chuckled lightly, not paying much attention.
I could understand Yang Yunhan's obsession with this score, his freedom of choice, and his rebellion… but rebellion comes with a price.
If he still had a complete family and loving parents, his parents would have borne the cost of his rebellion for him.
But now he had nothing left, and he could only bear it himself.
I used the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell to browse through the past images related to Yang Yunhan, trying to see why he chose the Wizard Academy.
My actions were not concealed from everyone.
The past images continuously appeared, but I searched for a long time and still couldn't find when he made the decision.
However, I did find the words Yang Yunhan had spoken earlier.
I even saw Store Manager Xia Li, who had been angered into leaving, in this image…
I hadn't expected Store Manager Xia Li to have come too, bringing her signature Red Velvet Cake.
Such a public execution, along with the scene that made everyone unable to look away—his words of approval upon hearing his sister's death—continuously echoed here.
"Originally, I was still somewhat hesitant about whether to take you to the Witch Academy, but now I find that wasting time on this question is a little too foolish."
"You hate me, right?"
My eyes met Yang Yunhan's.
He seemed afraid to meet my gaze.
But after glancing away, he found a trace of inexplicable courage, or perhaps it was a final hysterical outburst.
"Hate! Of course, I hate you! It's all because of you! Do you know how I've lived since I was a child because of you!"
"You're just as immature as you were before."
I walked up to him and looked at him.
Some words, once spoken, completely sever emotional ties; other words, once spoken, require accountability.
At this moment, I seemed to let go of certain things all at once, as if… the last bit of responsibility had also vanished, and a dangerous smile even curved on my lips, "But it doesn't matter. It's better that you hate me. Otherwise… wouldn't taking you to the Witch Academy be too boring?"
