Chapter 744: Soul Exploration (Part II), Course Adjustment

The soul certainly would not just run out easily; at the very least, Xia Duo had never heard of any Arcanist who died because their soul ran out on its own.

Perceiving the soul is one of the conditions for being an Advanced Arcanist; Xia Duo can perceive his own soul, and other Arcanists can too.

Xia Duo had made attempts similar to moving the soul, and he did not believe that other Arcanists had never tried it; this world has never lacked curious people.

If one truly had no curiosity at all, it would be unlikely for them to become an Arcanist.

Soon, Xia Duo's mental state reached its limit, and he withdrew from the state of extreme focus; naturally, he simultaneously withdrew from the state of perceiving his soul.

Although it is called "long-term observation," the observation of the Soul State cannot be as long-term as observing one's own hands and feet; one can only say that being slightly longer than a "fleeting moment" can count as "long-term."

Of course, one must also add a long-term aspect to the frequency of observation.

Next, Xia Duo no longer forced himself to enter the state of perceiving his soul, but instead drank tea to slowly recover his spirit while continuing his previous research on the Petrification Spell.

In the new Soul State, as past memories were continuously traced, the memories themselves began to deepen, even becoming a kind of instinct, and inspiration erupted accordingly.

"To have only discovered the changes in the soul after so long, it is truly a great loss!"

Although less than a month had passed in the time of the Main Plane, this near-omniscient feeling brought about by tracing memories made Xia Duo feel very regretful.

He should have observed his soul immediately after his Bloodline Awakening, but with this experience, he would know what to do next time.

It is just that he does not know when the next Bloodline Awakening will be!

But he had a premonition that perhaps the next Bloodline Awakening would bring even more earth-shattering changes than this one!

Tower of Time, Public Level.

Inside a classroom converted from a conference room, Kelin, a Level 3 Apprentice of the Tower of Time, took a small sip from his water cup during a break in his lecture, then continued teaching.

The entire process was incredibly practiced, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

This was indeed the case; since becoming a Level 3 Apprentice, he had been accepting teaching assignments at the Apprentice Management Office for nearly a month.

This time does not seem long, but due to the scarcity of teaching staff, Kelin has to give 6 classes to apprentices every day, from morning to afternoon, his mouth almost never stopping.

Gradually, he naturally learned the technique of drinking water; not too much, not too little, just right is perfect, and the timing is also very important.

This day, Kelin had just finished "New Edition Tower of Time Level 2 Apprentice Arcane Geometry Textbook, Lecture 15" for today's 6 classes and was preparing to lead these apprentices to the Library Layer to guide them in performing spell practice.

The Tower Spirit suddenly sent a notification—

"Attention all apprentices of the Tower of Time: To create a good atmosphere for Magic exchange, the first practice class is specially adjusted to an apprentice exchange class. Additionally, considering the current chaotic management of the Spell Laboratory, the previous first-come-first-served usage method is adjusted to an application system based on classes to ensure that every apprentice can have the opportunity to use the Spell Laboratory! The detailed text of this notice can be viewed at the Academic Affairs Office."

Just after hearing the Tower Spirit's notification, Kelin's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition; originally, after finishing six classes, there would be two practice classes.

And during his practice classes, as long as he provided a little guidance, the Level 2 Apprentices would prompt and practice with each other; within the Spell Suppression Field, he did not need to worry about the apprentices accidentally harming themselves due to misoperation.

On the contrary, letting these apprentices practice to their heart's content could allow them to master Spellcasting techniques faster.

And Kelin himself naturally had plenty of time to conduct his own research and practice; the Progress Society requires all members to become an Official Mage through the 【Ascension Trial】.

Kelin certainly understood the significance of this approach and could sincerely agree with it, but this approach did objectively create obstacles for his promotion.

Usually, teaching and preparing for teaching already occupied most of his time and energy, and it was only during practice classes that he had time to prepare for the 【Ascension Trial】.

If one practice class were directly cut, it would be almost equivalent to delaying his promotion date by double.

Moreover, the latter part of the Tower Spirit's notification mentioned that the use of the Spell Laboratory would adopt a class application system from now on, which meant that the days of casual use in the past were gone forever.

Previously, although it seemed there were only two practice classes, apprentices could also go to the Spell Practice Room on their own after class to use it at will.

Now that it has become an application system, Kelin knew without thinking that using the Spell Laboratory in the future would become troublesome, and this would again delay his promotion date.

Only by becoming an Official Mage can one have an independent private residence and a private Spell Practice Room, and Kelin could see from the current transformation of the Tower of Time that there would be more and more Official Mages in the future; would there not be enough private residences then!

Every time he thought of this, Kelin had an urge to promote immediately; fortunately, he restrained himself in time, otherwise, his ranking within the Progress Society would definitely drop significantly.

Although this ranking had no obvious effect on the surface, what was hidden was the direct attention of that lord, and Kelin could not afford not to take it seriously.

For a moment, Kelin's heart was a bit chaotic, "Everyone, since the first practice class is adjusted to an exchange class, you can exchange among yourselves or study on your own. I am going to the Academic Affairs Office and will be back soon. Bolte, keep an eye on the class discipline."

After speaking, Kelin put away his lesson plan and left in a hurry.

Of course, when he left, he did not forget to take the water cup from the podium with him.

And after Kelin left, the classroom immediately fell into a heated discussion, but what they were discussing was not anything related to Magic, but the notification from the Tower Spirit just now.

Even the dullest person understood the impact of this notice on them, and some even pessimistically wondered if the Tower of Time was going to return to its past mode.

Academic Affairs Office.

At this time, the desk of the Supervisor of the Academic Affairs Office, Mage He Sai, was already crowded with teaching staff who had come to check the detailed text of the Tower Spirit's notification just now.

Kelin arrived relatively quickly, and he grabbed a good spot; from his angle, he could just see the content on the Parchment in the hands of the person in front.

He quickly scanned his eyes from the top of the Parchment to the bottom, and when he saw "Teaching staff will temporarily use the old system for using the Spell Practice Room after class," Kelin felt slightly relieved.

The worst-case scenario did not happen—that no apprentice could use the Spell Laboratory outside of practice classes.

At least, a Level 3 Apprentice like him who had already applied to become a teaching staff member could use the Spell Laboratory after class by paying on time.

Kelin did not look closely at the rest of the notification content; generally, it did not have much to do with him. He just looked at it roughly so that he could tell the apprentices in his class later.

After reading the notice, Kelin made room for the people behind him and squeezed out with difficulty. Only then did he notice that those squeezing in the front were mostly Level 3 Apprentices and Associate Members of the Progress Society (although they are currently still Level 2 Apprentices, they are not far from Level 3 Apprentices and are more than capable of leading Level 1 Apprentices who have not yet completed their enlightenment).

The Official Mages were all at the back and looked as if they were not worried at all; among them were several acquaintances from the Progress Society, which made him a little envious.

After nodding slightly in greeting, Kelin quickly left the Academic Affairs Office; he secretly made up his mind that he must become an Official Mage as soon as possible and complete his promotion!
