Engraving a combination of formations on a Magic Staff was equivalent to eliminating the need for Void Formation. This allowed the Magic Staff to release a spell in an instant, increasing the Mage's combat ability.
However, the more magic arrays engraved on the magic staff, the greater the amount of spiritual force required to activate the magic array. Therefore, a magician had to rely on their own strength to engrave magic arrays on the magic staff. If they engraved too many magic arrays on the magic staff, they wouldn't be able to activate it. If the magic staff was in the hands of a human, then it would be better to use a fire stick.
This was the difference between a magic array inscribed on a magic staff and a Void Condensation Array. A magic array inscribed on a magic staff required mental strength to activate, while a Void Condensation Array didn't. This was because a Void Condensation Array was a magic array condensed from a magic staff's mental strength. Naturally, it didn't require mental strength to activate.
Besides Magic Staffs, there were also Magic Potions. In the Machine Field, Magic Potions were much more useful than in the lower realms. In the lower realms, Magic Potions were used to treat injuries or improve one's cultivation. But in the Machine Field, the most popular Magic Potions were Magic Potions that could quickly restore spiritual force.
When Mages fight, it was normal for their spiritual force to be exhausted. Once the spiritual force of a Magic Formation was exhausted and couldn't kill the enemy, then the Mage would be in a very dangerous situation.
But in the Machine Field, there were potions that could quickly restore a Mage's spiritual force. This greatly increased a Mage's fighting time, giving them more means to protect their lives.
For a serious person, three days passed by quickly. In these three days, Zhao Hai only appeared in his room when it was time to eat. The rest of his time was spent practicing and resting inside the Space. Because of this, he felt that time passed by very quickly.
On the third day, Zhao Hai appeared in his room. He was afraid that Margaret would come looking for him, so he came out of the Space early. Although he came out of the Space, Zhao Hai didn't stop condensing formations. His speed was getting faster and faster. If he condensed formations nonstop, then he could condense more than ten thousand formations a day.
Zhao sat on his bed and continued to condense the magic formation. He didn't know how much time had passed before he heard two soft knocks on the door. Zhao got out of bed and opened the door. It was Margaret.
Margaret looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Come, follow me to the command hall. We'll arrive soon."
Zhao Hai nodded and then followed Margaret to the command hall. The command hall of the ship was usually off-limits. Naturally, Zhao Hai didn't know about this. This was because he didn't leave his room for the past three days. However, he could monitor every corner of the ship. He also discovered that Margaret's identity wasn't simple. The commander of the ship was very respectful towards Margaret.
In Margaret's opinion, Zhao Hai was also a genius. Not only was he smart, but he could also endure loneliness. For three days, Zhao Hai didn't leave his room. This was why Margaret was optimistic about Zhao Hai.
In Margaret's opinion, most people who come to such a battleship for the first time wouldn't be able to help but look around. But Zhao Hai didn't. He seemed to have no curiosity at all. He just stayed in his room. Whether he was cultivating or looking up information on the internet, this kind of concentration was enough to make Margaret have a whole new level of respect for him.
Before long, the two arrived at the command hall of the ship. The command hall wasn't very big, about 100 square meters. There were more than a dozen operators inside, each of them was in charge of a piece of equipment. However, they didn't look busy at all. Everyone was holding a teacup in their hands. From time to time, they would take a sip and chat.
In the middle of the hall, there was a table and a chair. There was a person sitting there. This person looked to be in his forties. He was dressed neatly and had a teacup in his hand. On the table in front of him, there was a screen playing outside the spaceship. A planet was getting bigger and bigger on the screen. This planet was Terra Star, and this person was the commander of the spaceship.
Seeing the two come in, the commander immediately stood up and gave Margaret a salute, "Teacher Margaret."
Margaret nodded, then she pointed to Zhao Hai and said, "This is Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai. This is the commander of the ship, Crick."
Zhao Hai gave a salute to Crick. Crick also politely returned the salute. The other people on the ship were curiously looking at Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai didn't care. Among these people, only he and Margaret were wearing magic robes. Margaret was a teacher of the academy, so everyone here should know her. Therefore, there was nothing strange about it. As for Zhao Hai, the people here shouldn't have seen him, so it was understandable that they were curious.
Margaret went to the commander's chair and looked at the planet on the table that was getting closer and closer. The planet was black and yellow. Zhao Hai knew that the yellow part was the land and the black part was the ocean. The strangest thing about this planet was that the ocean wasn't blue, but black. The land was also yellow. On this yellow land, there were only some sporadic plants. Moreover, the water on this planet wasn't drinkable. To be honest, this planet wasn't suitable for human habitation.
The reason why humans wanted to develop this planet was because of the ore that they needed, Mithril!
This Mithril was different from the Mithril of the lower realms. Mithril in the lower realms was an anti-magic material that Mages didn't use. On the other hand, Mithril in the Machine Field was something else. Not only could Mages use it, they couldn't do without it.
Mithril in the Machine Field was an energy conducting material. Whether it was magic power, battle qi, or origin qi, all of them could be conducted very well. Because of this, whether it was Magic Staffs or Warrior Weapons, Mithril couldn't be used without it.
In the beginning, there were only a few miners living in Tranquil Star. They lived in the mines and rarely came to the surface. There were a lot of fierce beasts on Tranquil Star. These beasts had a very strong fighting strength. To be able to survive on Tranquil Star, one could see that the strength of these beasts was ordinary. Moreover, whether it was the water or the plants on Tranquil Star, all of them were poisonous. And since the barbarians had been eating these things for a long time, naturally, they were also poisonous. Their claws only needed to scratch a person's skin to take their life.
Later on, the major forces of the Machine Field spent a lot of effort to transform the planet and establish permanent settlements. In these settlements, there were water manufacturing machines and food manufacturing machines. Although they were still living in the mines, a unique mining city was formed. Most of the people there were miners. They lived here with their families and made a living by mining.
Now, in addition to the traditional mining industry, the planet also had a unique tourism industry. People could explore the mines, sleep in special hotels, and even kill poisonous beasts in the wild for fun. None of the major forces of the Machine Field had any control over the planet.
At this time, Tranquility Planet didn't belong to any of the major powers. Although the major powers wanted to swallow Tranquility Planet, because of the balance between the three major powers, nobody succeeded. In the end, they simply made Tranquility Planet independent. The three major powers started to collect ores here. The people of Tranquility Planet used the ores they mined to exchange for things they needed and machine coins. Although it was very hard to work in Tranquility Planet, they still earned a lot. After working here for more than ten years, one could find a planet with a good environment and become a rich man.
Although the mining cities of Tranquil Star were very safe, the mining areas weren't. The underground Tranquil poisonous beasts and evil spirits could take the lives of the workers. However, because the spiritual qi here was thin, there weren't a lot of poisonous beasts and evil spirits underground. If a large number of troops were to be stationed here all year round, then it wouldn't be worth it. Because of this, the place slowly became a training ground for the Ascension Academies.
This information wasn't obtained by Zhao Hai himself. Instead, it was obtained by Laura and the others. Zhao Hai didn't care too much about it. In a place with thin spiritual qi, it was impossible for strong magic beasts to appear. Because of this, Zhao Hai wasn't worried at all.
Although the ship seemed to be moving slowly, it was actually very fast as it approached Machine Field. When it got close to the planet's atmosphere, the ship's speed began to slow down. Bit by bit, it entered the planet.
Upon entering Calm Planet, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. Calm Planet was really desolate. Rocks could be seen everywhere, and these rocks were yellow in color. Weeds and small trees could be seen growing in the gaps between the rocks. These weeds and small trees were also yellow in color, just like the color of the rocks.
From time to time, one could see strange beasts running around on the ground or fighting for food. There was no trace of human civilization.
At this time, the ship arrived at the crater of a volcano. The crater was very large, it was about a kilometer in diameter. It was pitch black, one couldn't see the bottom of it.
The ship slowly entered the crater. After about ten minutes, Zhao Hai discovered a light coming from below. At this time, a staff member turned to Crick and said, "Captain, there's a signal. Requesting communication."
Crick nodded and said, "Connect it."
The staff responded, and then the image of a man appeared on the table. The man seemed to be in his thirties and looked very gentle. He bowed to Crick and said, "Welcome to Tairuo Star, friends from the Ascension Academy. I am the stationmaster of the spaceship docking station on Tairuo Star. Please stop the spaceship at the fifth position under the guidance of the command light.
Crick bowed and said, "Yes, Mr. Stationmaster." The image disappeared, and then the light on the ground changed. It began to send out different signals to guide the ship to land.
When the ship landed, Margaret led Zhao Hai out. The people on the ship didn't disembark. They still had to deal with some things before they could get off and have a good rest. But Margaret and Zhao Hai would be taken care of by someone else.
Margaret led Zhao Hai out of the ship. There were already people waiting for them outside. This person didn't look young. His hair and beard were grey. What was surprising was that he was also wearing a magic robe.
Seeing Margaret and Zhao Hai coming down, the old man quickly greeted them. He bowed to Margaret and said, "Welcome, Master Margaret. Please come with me."
Margaret bowed to the old man and said, "Mr. Simpson is too polite. Please." Then the three of them went to a flying car. This flying car was very big. There were four rows of seats. Margaret and Simpson sat in the second row, and Zhao Hai sat in the third row.
The car could also provide tea for people. After getting on, Simpson poured a cup of tea for Margaret and Zhao Hai. Then he said, "Let's go to the reception." Zhao Hai knew that these words were directed to the flying car's computer. Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, the flying car automatically started.
At this time, Simpson turned to Margaret and said, "Master Margaret, I'll have to trouble you this time. Is this the student you brought to the trial?"
Margaret put the cup next to her seat, then she nodded. "Yes, this time, only Zhao came to participate in the trial. Aside from our Academy, who else is there?" Margaret nodded. "Zhao is the only one who came to participate in the trial.
Simpson whispered, "Besides your Qigu Ascension Academy, there's also the Adam Ascension Academy and the Wilderness Ascension Academy. This time, the two academies brought a total of ten people. Among them, six from the Adam Ascension Academy and four from the Wilderness Ascension Academy."
Upon hearing the names of these two academies, Margaret's brows couldn't help but wrinkle. However, she didn't say anything and just nodded. At this time, the flying car stopped. This place was a 10-story mine. It was similar to the 10-story buildings outside. However, this place was made up of mines.
Besides the entrance and exit, all the entrances and exits were covered with glass, just like windows. Outside of the entrances and exits, there was also a space of about a thousand square meters. Inside, there were several flying cars parked.
When Zhao Hai got off the car, he couldn't help but look around. The place was very lively. This was a very large mine, it was more than 200 meters high. At the top of the mine, there were several huge magic formations that emitted a soft white light. Aside from some pillars, the rest of the space was occupied by caves. These caves were inhabited by people. Flying cars were flying here and there. There were also people walking on the streets. There were also shops with flashing neon lights in front of them, it was very beautiful.
If this place wasn't a mine, then it wouldn't be any different from a city outside. However, because this place was a mine, the people here didn't live in buildings, instead, they lived in caves. Because of this, there was a different flavor to this place.
Zhao Hai only took a glance before he followed Margaret and Simpson to the academy's reception. Upon entering the reception area, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. This was because the decoration of the place was very beautiful. Upon entering, one could see a large hall. There was a bar in the hall, as well as a place to rest. The floor was covered with tiles, and the walls were covered with wallpapers. It was very beautiful.
