Chapter 682: The Most Special Joint Final Exam

“Closely related to me... are you referring to the Seed of Knowledge?”

I inquired curiously.

“Mm, that's only one part. I'll roughly describe the situation of this final exam to you. As for the specifics, they will be explained in detail at the Teaching Assistant meeting.”

“Alright, Big Sis Lina, please go ahead.” I nodded and said. Since she intentionally came over to tell me, it meant that some things didn't need to be said to the other Teaching Assistants.

“This time's final exam has taken into full consideration the uneven practical combat levels among the low-grade students of the various academies. Therefore, the Transcendent power used in this final exam will not be the students' own power.”

“Then what is it?”

I asked curiously.

“It is, of course, the power of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree Game Account.”

Teacher Lina said.

“Hmm? Wait! Myriad Connection Main Network Tree... Game Account? Using that? How would that work? There aren't enough fruits, are there?”

I asked, frowning.

“Yes, there aren't enough fruits, but the quantity of Seed of Knowledge we have for popularization is sufficient. The laboratory has now completed the mutual link and interconnection between the Seed of Knowledge and the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree Account. Under the coverage of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree's root network, accounts can be used.”

Teacher Lina explained with a smile.

Actually, the Great Seed of Knowledge had the idea of installing a game platform from the beginning.

This time, it was merely the transfer of this game platform from the Great Seed of Knowledge to the Seed of Knowledge, and its interconnection with the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree.

These products all originated from the same source.

And at this moment, I also reacted.

After all, I still had an avatar left in that laboratory.

Although the avatar didn't communicate much there, it was aware of the many achievements.

Now, being told this, I understood why there was such a buzz after the technique for interconnecting the Seed of Knowledge and the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree was completed.

So, they already had this idea at that time?

“It seems Little Han has figured it out?”

Lina was not in a hurry.

She was a participant in this plan and had quite a bit of contact with the laboratory in the Expansion Realm, so she naturally knew there was an avatar of Little Han there.

“Mm, I think I know the entire story now, oh.”

I nodded, connecting a string of information.

Too many achievements came out of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree laboratory during this period, and another piece of content that I didn't pay much attention to at the time now seemed to have been in preparation for this final exam.

For example... Class Change.

I initially thought that the various Witch Sisters were directly designing classes by imitating the characteristics of the different Transcendent Races, and also shaped corresponding equipment systems and skill trees... I didn't expect this to be prepared for the students of the various academies?!

This was equivalent to forcibly pulling all the low-grade students to the same level.

Their original power couldn't help them in the slightest.

To achieve victory, they would need combat experience, practical combat techniques, and even local tactics, overall strategy, and reconnaissance intelligence...

All of these might be needed!

Furthermore, no student would have the foundation to absolutely crush another student in terms of strength.

This kind of competition environment seemed even more... "fair"?

At least this model allowed more people with lower strength to have a sense of participation and also made those who indulged in power that didn't belong to them realize their shortcomings.

“This time, our final exam adopts a reform that has never been tried before: setting aside individual original power and uniformly adopting an equivalent power system. Mindless power will only encourage pointless idolization of power, which will be very harmful to every student in the long run.”

“In the past, we didn't have the technology. It was mainly because doing so was a futile and thankless task. But now that we have this foundation, I am willing to use one final exam to conduct an experiment for this idea.”

“This... is truly a display of boldness...”

Actually, I wanted to say "truly casual," but considering that a Transcendent Witch proposed this, it seemed there was no problem with it.

“It's just an attempt. After all, that laboratory gathered so many witches to contribute their efforts; there must be some results, don't you agree?”

“Mm.”

I nodded, suppressing the urge to refute. Weren't there many laboratories in the Witch Academy that hadn't produced any results for hundreds of years?

For example, the research cycle for [Transcendent Knowledge] was measured in years.

“By the way, that's roughly all for the general format of this final exam. Since the content is closely related to you, I naturally needed to make you aware. There is also another question I came here to ask.”

“Hmm... what is it?”

I asked curiously, also wondering what other questions there could be.

“It's regarding the issue of Mutated Beasts in the Expansion Realm.”

“Mutated Beasts?! Uh... that... is there a problem with that?”

I asked tentatively, feeling a bit guilty when Mutated Beasts were suddenly mentioned.

After all, I conducted experiments on the Mutated Beasts of the entire Expansion Realm.

While I wouldn't dare say I covered the entire Mutated Beast population of the Expansion Realm, I did cover most of them, didn't I?

And back then when I entered the Expansion Realm... I don't think it was stated that I couldn't do that...

“Little Han, aren't you going to at least cover up that guilty look?”

“Was I?”

My expression immediately became calm, as if the guilty look just now was false.

“Alright, then I'll be direct. The mutation of the Mutated Beasts in the Expansion Realm is related to you, right?”

“What exactly is the concern?”

I asked, probing.

“Don't worry, Little Han. I'm not asking this to pursue your liability. I don't care about that, and no witch will pursue any liability against you for this.”

Lina rubbed her forehead and said to me.

“Oh! Is that so.”

After receiving this statement from Teacher Lina, I immediately stopped feeling guilty!

“Yes! I did it. The mutation of most of the Mutated Beasts was done by me!”

“It really was you. We were wondering why the Mutated Beasts would collectively and spontaneously mutate towards a unified direction of intelligence.”

After receiving my "frank" admission, Lina was enlightened, but then she became curious.

“How did you do it, Little Han? Of course, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to say. We are not asking to pry into any secrets.”

“That... haha, it's indeed inconvenient to say. It's just a Compound Technique I derived. Since I had no place to experiment, I just took those Mutated Beasts and experimented to gather some data.”

At this moment, I also gleaned some information about being hunted by Transcendent Witches from the various Mutated Beast-shaped "avatars."

It seemed that the situation of the Mutated Beasts had been noticed by the Transcendent Witches... could it be that the Mutated Beasts' strength had increased too quickly?

After all, Mutated Beasts were beings that mutated during the Void Energy Tides back then.

Their life could not be separated from Transcendent energy, but this also meant that as long as there was sufficient Transcendent energy, their life form would also transform in a terrifying manner!

“Just an experiment, then... So, how were the results? Do those Mutated Beasts still have a value in continuing to exist?”

Lina asked a series of questions.

“Yes, just a trial experiment. The results, well... they were quite good? As for the value of these Mutated Beasts' continued existence... I personally feel that the Mutated Beasts are a part of the Expansion Realm, or rather, an indispensable part of it?”

“So Little Han, that's what you think.”

Lina also fell into contemplation upon hearing my reply.

Whether the Mutated Beasts were an integral part of the Expansion Realm was not a critical matter, but since Little Han had expressed her opinion, she naturally needed to consider it.

“The format of this final exam is, overall, somewhat similar to the Elf's hunting training. We originally planned to use the Mutated Beasts of the Expansion Realm as the hunting target. Little Han, can you accept the possibility of the Mutated Beasts in the Ninglan area and its surrounding regions being wiped out, or even potentially facing extinction? If it's truly unacceptable...”

“Hunting? That's absolutely no problem; I don't mind it!”

After I understood what Big Sis Lina wanted to do, I immediately agreed.

First of all, this was not a complete extinction event of the entire Expansion Realm.

How long could the final exam last?

They might not even finish exploring the Expansion Realm.

And the most crucial point was that I possessed the Reincarnation Spell! Furthermore, I had recorded the information of every Mutated Beast bloodline that I had performed the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell on.

I could completely use the Reincarnation Spell to create this race and let them proliferate again.

“You don't mind? That's great, that's great...”

Lina said with a smile.

If it were truly unacceptable, she could also have the Biological Alchemy witches in the academy use the Secret Realm space where they raised special creatures to release some of those creatures as hunting targets for this final exam.

And they weren't worried about these monsters becoming invasive foreign species that would spread widely and destroy the environment in the Expansion Realm.

They could make these monsters lose their reproductive ability and then shorten their lifespan to control them.

Furthermore, it wasn't just the Biological Alchemists of the Witch Academy; the Wizards also had plenty of Flesh and Blood Sorcerers who could provide some hunting targets without any issue.

The creatures didn't need to be too powerful.

These inferior creatures weren't valuable, but they were very suitable for this final exam.

After all, the combat power of the current "Game Account" classes and skill trees were not very strong.

If they were too strong, resulting in an overwhelming power advantage, it would defeat the purpose of the final exam.

“Alright, alright. I've pretty much said everything I came here to say. Since there are no issues, there won't be any major adjustments to the subsequent final exam. We'll proceed directly according to the plan.”

Lina felt that her purpose for coming here was mostly complete.

After all, so many things were hard to explain over the phone, and speaking in person actually didn't take much time.

“Since you agreed to be the auxiliary Teaching Assistant for this final exam, remember to attend the Teaching Assistant meeting afterward. The meeting will explain the specific procedures for this final exam. I will send you the specific time and location then.”

Saying this, Lina also stood up and lightly patted her slightly wrinkled sleeve.

“Then, I'll be going now. You two carry on.”

“Mm, goodbye, Big Sis Lina.”

“Goodbye. Don't bother seeing me out.”

After Lina bid farewell to me and Big Sis Bai, her entire figure vanished from the place.

Seeing Lina gone, I also slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

“What's wrong? Why the sudden sigh of relief? Was talking to Lina stressful?”

Big Sis Bai walked behind me, placing one hand soothingly on my shoulder.

“Mm... a little bit. It was just a bit sudden.”

I pressed my right hand to my chest.

My pajamas instantly changed into a set of casual wear.

“Fortunately, I didn't wear anything... indescribable after meditating... or that would have been embarrassing...”

“You're only concerned about the clothes? Actually, Little Han, you don't have to worry. Relationships between Witches are mostly addressed as sisters. Even though you are a Lesser Witch, Little Han, you don't need to be so reserved. Be casual. This is our home, and Lina didn't mind her sudden visit, so you definitely don't need to.”

“Mm...”

I nodded, but I still found a few messages that Teacher Lina had sent me via the Great Tree of Knowledge.

I just hadn't paid attention, and I didn't expect her to show up in person.

“It's fine, Little Han. Let's not talk about that anymore. Look, with this delay, it's almost noon now. Have you thought about what you want to eat? Or do you want to eat something good to nourish your body?”

Big Sis Bai put her hands on my shoulders behind me and pushed me towards the kitchen.

“Then... let's just eat something casual.”

I let Big Sis Bai push me towards the freezer in the kitchen.

Actually, although it was called a freezer, a considerable portion of the contents didn't require low-temperature storage.

A slightly more advanced Solidified Freshness Spell was enough.

Big Sis Bai had stocked up on a lot of ingredients at home, in a great variety of styles.

This was probably the gluttonous moment of a Body Cultivator.

“Speaking of which... Big Sis Bai, you need to nourish your body too. Big Sis Bai, you're just weak. You promised I wouldn't be able to get out of bed for three days, but I was still jumping around on the second day.”

I said with a smile, rummaging through the storage room for ingredients for lunch this time.

“I can't help it. Who told Little Han to be increasingly tolerant?”

Big Sis Bai said with a helpless smile.

It was impossible for me not to get out of bed for three days.

The stronger a person was, the faster they recovered.

Even if they were on the verge of death, it might not take three days to be jumping around.

The immortality of the life level dictated that this situation was impossible.

Furthermore, she also didn't have the heart to do that kind of thing to Little Han... right?

But as for teasing Little Han with words.

Bai Yu was completely unafraid.

“If Little Han doesn't know what to choose... then look here.”

Big Sis Bai suddenly spoke at this moment, then opened a somewhat special storage cabinet, and the contents inside were all displayed.

“Hmm? What are all these?”

I looked over curiously and found that they were all things I didn't recognize!

“They are good things I found from my acquaintances.”

Big Sis Bai introduced to me with a slightly veiled tone.

“Good things?”

I slightly raised an eyebrow, then observed them with the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell.

Subsequently, the information of these "ingredients" all surfaced.

These things were indeed just as Big Sis Bai had said, acquired from other Transcendent Witches.

They were all laboratory products, but their effects...

Nourishing blood, nourishing

body essence, strengthening the body, increasing desire... Wait!

Did something strange sneak in?

“These are all very good tonics. Would Little Han like to try them? Of course, these things shouldn't be eaten too much; a moderate amount is best. If you overdo it... there's actually no harm to us, it's just that if they are too potent, you might need to have a proper release in the evening.”

“This...”

My eyes widened, feeling it was unbelievable.

“Little Han wouldn't be too afraid, would you. Who was the one saying they were jumping around today? Or are you afraid you won't be able to handle it tonight?”

Big Sis Bai provoked me while taking out one item and placing it in front of me.

In fact, many of these medicinal ingredients were not harmful to the body.

Many of them were even tonics for Body Cultivators to nourish their bodies and strengthen their physical constitution.

The "other aspect" was merely secondary.

They were the main ingredients for Body Strengthening Potions that were highly sought after in the Body Cultivation circle, and of course, they could also be ingredients in medicated meals.

These were all medicated meal ingredients she had prepared based on Little Han's current physical constitution.

There would absolutely be no out-of-control accidents.

Using potions suddenly would be too potent, so she preferred to use medicated meals to subtly help Little Han improve her physical foundation.

“I think Little Han really needs this to properly enhance her constitution.”

Big Sis Bai shook a special plant root and stem.

This was the main medicinal material for the Body Strengthening Potion.

Of course, it could also be used as a medicated meal ingredient, except that it had some other indescribable uses, but the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell would honestly present all that information.
