Chu Ming had been away from campus for a long time, and this time he returned to Shanghai University.

Suddenly, I don't know where to go!

"Forget it, we'll just see where things take us!"

As Chu Ming passed by a series of familiar yet unfamiliar magic classrooms, he heard Dean Xiao's voice.

"...Here at the conduction rune, we're using three-phase energy conversion conduction..."

Chu Ming carefully slipped in.

To be honest, Dean Xiao's classes are quite popular!

However, most of the students in the front row had bright eyes and were sometimes deep in thought!

However, nine out of ten students in the back row were dressed in fancy clothes, and it was obvious that their minds were not on the blackboard!

"Hey, isn't this Chu Ming?"

How come such a busy person has time to go back to school?

"Have you finished dealing with everything at S.H.I.E.L.D."

Dongfang Liang, who was still thinking about where to go for fun that night, suddenly saw Chu Ming's guilty look!

A hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes as he spoke in a sarcastic tone.

These words drew curious glances from the surrounding classmates.

Those sitting in the back row were all scions of noble families who had the right to waste their time; who among them didn't know the name Chu Ming?

During this period, the name mentioned most often in the family is "Chu Ming"!

The one you absolutely shouldn't mess with is Chu Ming!

Many people looked over curiously!

I want to see for myself who this Chu Ming really is!

Chu Ming, who was ridiculed for no reason, was surprised to find that it was Dongfang Liang, the Dongfang family member who had acted neuroticly before (Bai Rou's 80th confession) (whose name he couldn't remember).

He simply smiled indifferently, ignored it, and walked straight to a seat in the corner.

"You~~`

Furious at being ignored, Dongfang Liang immediately became as docile as a quail when he felt the gaze directed at him from the podium!

At this moment, Principal Xiao, who was teaching water magic arrays, stopped lecturing.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw Chu Ming.

Principal Xiao, with a smile on his face, slowly stepped forward and gently patted Chu Ming on the shoulder.

"Chu Ming, it's been a long time!"

Unexpectedly, Chu Ming, who was lecturing, was interrupted. He quickly stood up, bowed slightly, and looked humble.

"Principal Xiao, it's been a long time!"

Hello everyone!

Principal Xiao glanced around the classroom and nodded with a look of expectation in his eyes.

Good child who doesn't forget his roots!

He turned around again and found Principal Xiao standing on the podium.

Pick up the chalk and lightly tap a corner of the complex water magic circle on the blackboard.

He explained with a focused expression.

"Students, the core energy source of traditional water-based magic arrays lies in using sufficiently high-strength magic stones to create high-pressure magic energy, guiding the circulation of water elements, and thus driving the array's operation!"

"Take this most basic water arrow magic circle as an example, everyone look at this circle of rune lines."

Principal Xiao stretched out his finger and gently touched the magic circle projection floating in the air.

The runes are of different shapes, yet they are closely connected, forming an organic whole.

Some runes are slender and streamlined, resembling the rushing water in a turbulent river, with smooth and dynamic lines.

Some streamlined runes have slightly upturned ends, like the arrowheads of a water arrow ready to be released, sharp and aggressive.

Once you know it's related to water, it's not hard to guess its function!

Some runes are circular, but their edges are not regular, with irregular wavy lines, just like the ripples on a calm lake after being disturbed by magic.

At the eight equal nodes of the outermost ring of the magic circle, there are several trident-shaped runes.

The trident, which is half a head larger than the other runes, has three tips pointing in different directions, clearly indicating that it is a core component!

The magic blackboard backstage matched and projected the effect of the runes being activated!

The circle of rune lines resembled a nimble water snake, intertwining and coiling together.

It emits a faint blue light, like the shimmering surface of a lake under the moonlight.

The light was not static, but flickered slightly, as if every line was breathing.

Where these rune lines connect with each other, they form small nodes.

Each node shimmered with an even brighter light, like stars gathering in the night sky, infusing the entire magic circle with a continuous stream of magic power.

About 3 seconds later, it condensed the surrounding water elements into a sharp water arrow, which shot out with a whoosh.

And Dean Xiao's explanation began at just the right time.

"The magic runes on this outer layer are all from your freshman year: Water Gathering Runes, Water Arrow Amplification Runes, Water Arrow Rune Guiding Discs, Power Accumulation Runes, and Basic Water Control Runes. They consist of five types of runes!"

"Only the Water Arrow Rune Guiding Disc is a man-made intermediate rune; the rest are low-level runes!"

"However, this array's trajectory can guide external water elements to converge at a specific frequency."

"A stable water-based magical energy is formed at the center of the formation, and then automatically converted into an appropriate number of water arrows through the water arrow rune guide plate according to the program!"

After being enhanced by amplification and charging runes, the mage fires 5-30 mid-level magic-grade water arrows after issuing the command via the water arrow rune channeling disc!

"According to our research data, under normal elemental conditions..."

"A skilled novice mage, before exhausting their own magical energy or mental power, uses a standard water arrow spell circle."

"It can gather approximately 200 units of water elemental magic energy per minute (a level 3 mage's magic energy is 8 units!)."

"To produce approximately 100-150 water jets, each about 5 centimeters in diameter!"

Each water arrow's attack power is comparable to that of a mid-level mage!

"........."

"And when we want to transform a water polo ball into an ice polo ball."

There are many methods!

"The simplest approach is to just fine-tune the energy output of these key runes."

"By changing the vibrational frequency of the water element, we can achieve the phase transition from water to ice."

"This involves a delicate balance between the elements of water and ice."

"The ice arrows produced by this method have the form of ice and the physical impact, but their magical energy attribute is water-based..."

"However, this ratio needs to be controlled!"

If the charge rune is not reduced by 12%-15%, the ice arrow will self-destruct, the formation will self-destruct, and the mage will suffer a backlash.

If the reduction is too great, the water arrows will fail to condense into ice arrows, or the condensed ice arrows will shatter upon contact!

"In short... every step needs to be precisely controlled."

"You can conduct these experiments yourselves after class!"

Dean Xiao casually drew another rune. "These five are the basic ice runes you recognize!"

"Today, our new lesson is about successfully integrating basic ice runes into this water arrow spell formation..."

"........."

Chu Ming sat in the audience.

I listened attentively to the principal's explanation of the basic courses.

In the magical realm, while the magic system is prevalent, the array system still exists, but it is somewhat underdeveloped.

However, gradually, I lost focus...

In his mind, however, he kept comparing the research results of S.H.I.E.L.D. with those of Sasha, and combining them with Sasha's deductions about water magic and water formations...

"If we incorporate intermediate-level spirit runes into this basic, beginner-level water magic circle!"

"The Spiritual Resonance Rune possesses unique magical resonance properties."

"Its line length is precisely 5.3 centimeters."

"The curvature of the line is 120.5 degrees."

"This precise design allows it to resonate with the water element at a special frequency."

"It can break the conventional energy level limit of the element water."

"Moreover, it can also greatly improve the energy conversion efficiency of the magic circle."

"According to calculations, a single 'Spirit Guiding Rune' is in an active state."

"It can increase the activity of the surrounding water element by 30%."

"The rate at which water elements are guided to converge reaches 500 units per minute."

"This brings us to the efficiency of the rune conversion from water to ice..."

"The arrangement can also be improved!"

"The area of ​​the spirit-gathering rune is 2.1 square centimeters."

"When multiple 'Spirit Gathering Runes' are arranged in a specific spacing—a quadruple spiral with a spacing of 3.7 centimeters between them."

"They can work together to increase the efficiency of water element gathering to 2.5 times the original."

"........."

"However, in areas where elemental tides surge, where magical fluctuations are extremely complex!"

"The precision of manipulating water elements will decrease significantly, with errors potentially exceeding 10%."

"There's still room for improvement..."

"By cleverly adjusting the arrangement of the spiritual runes."

"For example, swapping the positions of the 'Spirit Gathering Rune' and the 'Flow Stabilizing Rune'."

"And fine-tune the angle of the runes according to the frequency of environmental magical fluctuations."

"It can improve the precision of water element manipulation to within 0.1%."

"This means that more complex and efficient water magic effects can be created."

"At this point, add another water-based conversion rune to create an ice arrow!"

Although the required reaction time was a bit fast!

"But this is how ice crystal blades with highly ordered molecular structures are created."

"Its sharpness and stability far exceed those of ordinary ice spells."

"The power should be able to double..."

"........."
