Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 113 Proposal!

"According to the current classification of witches' extraordinary abilities, my current level should be C-rank," Rose said, looking at her. "Although I am still a mid-level witch, I have already touched the threshold of a high-level witch."

"Let me briefly explain my abilities. My plant manipulation can be applied to a range of about seven or eight kilometers. As for consciousness interference, it can easily cover an entire city. And as for fate perception, it can even directly cover this planet."

Upon hearing Rose's words, Luo Xi began to ponder Rose's strength level. Although she was described as C-rank, Rose was actually practically a high-level witch, wasn't she?

"Using plant manipulation, I can instantly teleport to a place with plants seven or eight kilometers away," Rose revealed.

Luo Xi's heart skipped a beat; it was the Five Elements Escape Technique, and undoubtedly the Wood Escape Technique!

"After eliminating the anomalous entity in Qianhe County, I divided its core into two parts. I gave you the smaller part, and after digesting the other part, I added a new magical property to it—devouring."

"The effective range of this magical property is only a few hundred meters."

Only a few hundred meters... Luo Xi shook her head inwardly upon hearing this. She was also a mid-level witch, but her specific level was D-rank, only one level lower than Rose, yet the difference in strength was so great.

However, this is normal. The difference between beginner witches is not significant, and the range of their magical properties is between ten and one hundred meters. But when they reach the intermediate level, the range increases directly to about one hundred to ten thousand meters!

This level of improvement is at the level of super-exponential growth or even double-exponential growth!

If we consider the cultivation system, Rose, who is ranked C, might already be in the late Golden Core stage (witch version), while Rose, who is ranked D, is only in the early Foundation Establishment stage (witch version).

"Furthermore, using the perception of fate to deduce and verify, the two most crucial magical characteristics of a high-level witch are spacetime interference and causal interference!" Rose spoke again, stating with such certainty.

"As for Yue Tong's magical property—restoration, I sense that this magical property is extremely advanced, even more advanced than my perception of fate," Rose said, looking at Yue Tong. "The magical property of restoration may far exceed the magical properties that high-level witches can control, which is why it appears so weak in Yue Tong, a beginner witch and an F-rank witch."

Luo Xi earnestly continued, "If we follow this logic, a beginner witch possesses three magical properties, an intermediate witch five, and a senior witch would likely possess seven."

"It should be right..." Rose seemed to be using her Fate Perception again, and after confirming, she said with certainty, "The magical properties of a high-level witch are seven."

She looked up at Rose and said, "Le Tong's restoration is closer to the level of rules or concepts. In other words, in addition to the five common types of magical properties: material interference, energy interference, mental interference, spiritual interference, and consciousness interference, there are three rare types of magical properties."

"There are three rare magical properties. Besides the already established spacetime interference and causal interference, there is another one that I call conceptual interference."

"Le Tong's restoration and Rose's devouring are both examples of conceptual interference!"

"As for whether there are any even rarer magical properties, I have no idea," Luo Xi pondered.

"Yes, there is another magical property called rule interference," Rose suddenly spoke up. "I once met a novice witch whose magical property was very special. She could set a rule and make it take effect."

"For example, she can say a rule that prohibits all metal objects within ten meters of her from colliding with each other. No, she doesn't even need to say it. As long as she wants, the rule will take effect and continue until she removes it herself."

"Anything else?" Rules-based? A thought struck her, and she looked at Rose, marveling at how knowledgeable Rose truly was.

"There shouldn't be any more. All magical properties fall into nine categories. The five common types are matter interference, energy interference, mental interference, spiritual interference, and consciousness interference. The four rare types are spacetime interference, causal interference, rule interference, and concept interference," Rose concluded.

Luo Xi nodded and began to summarize, "Common materialistic magical properties, such as matter interference and energy interference, have an effective range of about ten meters for novice witches."

"While more idealistic approaches like spiritual, mental, and conscious interference may have diminished effectiveness, the distance they can reach is increased tenfold!"

"As for rare magical properties, they can only be truly unleashed when the witch herself reaches the corresponding level, whether in terms of range or effect."

"Yes, the five common types of magical properties can be fully utilized by a novice witch, but the four rare types of magical properties, such as causal interference and spacetime interference, require a high-level witch to truly bring them to their full effect," Rose chimed in.

"Since novice witches can fully utilize the five common types of magical properties, then," Luo Xi pondered for a moment, "I have a theory: could we determine a witch's aptitude from her magical properties?"

"For example, Yue Tong and my sister Luo Xin. Yue Tong's magic property is restoration, and my sister's magic property is spacetime interference. Can this be interpreted as them having high talent?" She looked at Qiangwei with doubt.

"It should be possible..." Rose had been using her Fate Perception, and after a moment's thought, she gave this answer.

"The limit for a Foundation Establishment Witch is to fully master the three common magical properties and forge her physical body to the limit of E-rank."

"As for intermediate witches, the five types of magical properties, plus the enhancement of the body by the magic itself after training, make them the strongest intermediate witches when their physical strength reaches the limit of magical enhancement."

"Rose, in our previous battle, although your strength was greater than mine, your physical body clearly did not reach the limit of a C-rank witch."

"Yes," Rose simply nodded upon hearing her words, "I've trained, that's why I'm this strong."

...Luo Xi choked for a moment, then continued.

"Another theory is that witches like Yue Tong and my sister Luo Xin, who possess rare magical properties, might be able to advance directly to high-level witches without any risk, provided they have enough abnormal cores!" Looking at Qiangwei, Luo Xi asked the question that had been on her mind, "Do you think this is likely?"

"The possibility is zero," Rose simply shook her head. "My sense of destiny tells me that if I use an abnormal core to advance, a novice witch must undergo a process of magical transformation and strengthening of her mind, spirit, and consciousness to advance to an intermediate witch."

"What about another way? For example, directly transferring magic power and its properties to another witch. This method has already succeeded with my sister Luo Xin. Should we try it with Le Tong again..." Luo Xi was still unwilling to give up, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Qiangwei.

"No," Rose shook her head, her expression serious. "Whether it's you or me, if we try to transfer magic and its properties to Yue Tong..."

"My sense of destiny clearly warns me that she may be suppressed by our magic on the spot."

"Under suppression, Yue Tong might not have time to use magic and its properties to repair her body, and she would be killed on the spot by our magic and its properties."

"Is that so..." Luo Xi's eyes flickered as she quickly made her deductions.

The reason her younger sister Luo Xin was able to advance so quickly was because her magic originated from Luo Xin, and she could absorb it without any rejection or cost.

Adding to Luo Xin's newly awakened spacetime interference, if this is indeed a magical characteristic that only high-level witches can possess, indirectly representing Luo Xin's talent, then perhaps it is precisely for this reason that Luo Xin was able to absorb her magic and safely advance to the intermediate witch level.

If one relies on the abnormal core to advance, one still has to go through the heart-refining process that Rose mentioned, enduring the transformation and strengthening of the mind, spirit, and consciousness by magic.

It is absolutely impossible to advance to the level of intermediate or even advanced witch without any cost.

As for Yue Tong, although her magical properties are of an extremely high level, this also makes her far weaker than other witches of the same level in the early stages. This not only means a higher risk of premature death, but also a more difficult path to advancement.

Luo Xi gently released a wisp of magic power, then suddenly smiled: "My magic's cutting property is still there, but my sister Luo Xin also possesses the same magic property, so perhaps we can draw another conclusion..."

"If we consider witches as an anomaly, then when the anomaly becomes apparent, a witch can bestow her magical properties upon other witches, and the other witches, as another anomaly, can suppress the apparent anomaly."

"That's the basic situation. The information on novice witches, intermediate witches, that is, witches from F-rank to C-rank, is clear."

"However... we still don't know much about high-ranking witches and special-ranking witches. All the information we have about high-ranking witches and special-ranking witches is still speculation."

Looking at Qiangwei with anticipation, Luo Xi asked, "Also, Qiangwei, do you have any ideas about the classification of abnormality levels?"

"The anomaly cores correspond to magical properties, so let's use quantity as the basis for the correspondence. An anomaly entity or phantom composed of three or fewer anomaly cores is called a primary anomaly, an anomaly entity or phantom composed of four or five anomaly cores is called an intermediate anomaly, and so on..."

"However, this classification still has uncertainties. For example, the abnormal entity we encountered in Qianhe County has already devoured several abnormal entities and abnormal phantoms because the main effect of its abnormal core is to devour. It has reached the level of a high-level abnormality."

"But witches naturally have a way to suppress anomalies, and this suppression is about one to half a level..." Luo Xi interjected, "Theoretically speaking, a novice witch can completely suppress a novice anomaly."

"A novice witch with two types of magical properties is theoretically capable of handling any abnormal events caused by abnormal entities or illusions below the intermediate level."

Luo Xi recalled the first abnormal entity she encountered, which was the construction waste monster.

At that time, she had just transformed into a witch and had low magic reserves. In addition, the abnormal entity was almost immune to her magic's cutting properties, and she was fighting alone, which is why she was in such a sorry state. In the end, she used the terrain advantage and human wisdom to defeat the abnormal entity.

However, the second anomalous entity she encountered in Dachang City, despite its magical properties of cutting and pulverizing, was eliminated by her with almost no effort thanks to the help of modern military forces.

Rose was also thinking. She nodded gently and added in a mild tone, "For an abnormal event to occur, the abnormality must have already formed a core. The abnormal core will materialize into an abnormal entity and an abnormal phantom."

"Theoretically speaking, the lowest-level witches, with the help of modern firearms, can indeed easily eliminate primary anomalous entities and anomalous phantoms, and can suppress and devour the anomalous cores at will." Rose's voice did not stop.

"However, because the magical properties of novice witches are relatively singular, I still do not recommend that novice witches handle abnormal events." Rose raised her tranquil eyes and met her gaze.

Shaking her head, Luo Xi remained unyielding. "But there's no way around it. While modern science and technology, along with modern military forces, can shatter the anomalous entity, the anomalous core cannot be destroyed."

"As long as the abnormal core is not destroyed, it will re-manifest as an abnormal entity, thus triggering an abnormal event."

"If it is an abnormal illusion, modern science and technology and modern military forces are completely unable to deal with it."

Thinking of the grudges with the Witch Council, Luo Xi sneered, "We have completely broken ties with the rulers of this world and the official organization, the Witch Council. We are still maintaining peace, but it's just that both sides still have some concerns."

"I will not cooperate with the rulers of this world and the official organization, the Witch Council, until we have completely eliminated them. I don't really trust the scientific and technological and military power they provide."

"Only after completely eliminating the rulers of this world and the official organization, the Witch Council, will I consider having modern military forces cooperate with the witches to deal with anomalies."

"Now, I prefer to have a team of witches handle unusual events." Luo Xi said calmly and firmly, finally revealing her purpose.

"Therefore, my suggestion is to have one intermediate-level witch lead the team, with three novice-level witches forming the members, and use this structure to handle unusual events!"

"With this kind of organization, even in the event of a high-level anomaly, there is a high probability that we can escape. Rose, what do you think?" She looked at Rose, waiting for her opinion.

"Okay." Rose's answer satisfied Luo Xi.

"Then it's settled," Luo Xi nodded. "Aside from regular studies and combat training, in case of any unusual events, either I or Qiangwei will lead the team to handle them!"

"Speaking of which, where's Lily?" She suddenly remembered that Lily hadn't returned since the halftime break, and no one seemed to have noticed. Looking at Rose with a question in her eyes, she continued, "I'm going to tell you something she doesn't know."

"It's alright, just tell me directly, it's all the same," Rose said calmly. "She'll know everything I know."

"Alright," Luo Xi glanced at Rose, nodded, cleared her throat, and slowly began, "Also, because we're unsure about the information on high-level witches and how strong the top-tier witches are..."

"Besides the Witch Transcendent System you mentioned, Rose, I'd like to suggest establishing another system, running parallel to the Witch Transcendent System," she paused for a moment, cleared her throat, and said, word by word, "This system is..."

"The Witch Cultivation System!"

"The Modern Witch Cultivation System of the Vishwa Group!"
