Elite Mages' Academy

Chapter 613: Digestion

Digestion meant completely arranging and containing all the information that had been absorbed. Even though there seemed to be a lot of books earlier, when they were all converted into energy, it was actually very little. From the perspective of energy, it was barely even a speck of dust.

However, Xiao Lin himself could not contain too much. Water overflowed when the container got too full; that was the gist of it. That was why when she saw that Xiao Lin was starting the digestion process, Bell could not help but reveal a look of concern. Even with Ivanovich’s success as an example, she still did not have absolute faith that the success could be replicated.

However, at that moment Xiao Lin’s state meant that he could not focus on the outside world. He was in a very special state; if words needed to describe it, it was as if he was submerged in an ocean of knowledge.

Those books seemed to have information of most of Planet Norma’s plants within. If it were a normal person, reading and understanding all of it might not be possible, even using their whole lives.

No, even with a cheat method like eating the books, it was still difficult, but Xiao Lin was in the explosive state of Myth, and his mental strength had greatly increased. It brought forth a great increase in his thinking speed.

The speed of a regular person’s thinking was restricted by the speed their synapses could receive information, and the limit was about a hundred meters every second. Being able to reach that speed was already at the level of a genius. To a certain degree, the faster one’s thought processes were, the smarter a person was. The faster they could think, the more they could think about.

Normese humans might be better than regular humans on Earth in various ways, but the difference in intelligence was not that high. It was probably a common trait between lifeforms, and not very related to planets or space.

However, with such a limit, wanting to absorb all those books in such a short time was incredibly difficult. Bell knew of that, which was why she emphasized that it needed to be done under Myth. However, she actually did not know what the limits Xiao Lin could reach was, so her expression was incredibly nervous as time ticked on.

After about a dozen seconds, something strange happened to Xiao Lin again. His body started to emit a shocking glow, and the faint blue light that came out of his body due to Myth retracted before exploding into an even more intense light.

It was like a star, and it was not limited to the lounge. The entire special space had been covered in Xiao Lin’s blue light. It had filled every corner, and under the intense light, Xiao Lin’s body turned into a transparent blue. His skin started to fade, and even the blood and organs in his body could be clearly seen.

His organs and his brain and even the blood were also tainted by the blue glow before his own body turned into a source of light. It seemed like Xiao Lin’s entire being had turned into a big mass of energy.

That scene had caused Bell’s jaw to drop. Her virtual form could ignore the intensity of the light, so she could clearly see more through it.

...

After an unknown period of time, even though the special space had its own concept of time, it did not flow at the same speed as real life.

When Xiao Lin opened his eyes in exhaustion, he found himself lying on the floor. At some point, his Myth state had been forcefully dispelled. He was actually a little scared since he did not know when he lost his consciousness. However, since he was still lying there, it meant that he did not exceed the time limit, which meant his lifespan had not been wiped clean.

Bell stood next to him, looking at him with a strange look, as if she had seen a ghost. This was the first time Xiao Lin had ever seen that expression on Bell.

Xiao Lin felt like something was wrong, and asked, “What happened? I remember I was deep in the information in my mind, and I lost consciousness at some point. Just tell me straight up, I’m mentally prepared for it.”

“Hello? Can you speak?” Bell seemed completely in a daze and did not respond.

“Bell? Bell!

“The dean sent someone here!”

“Ah!” Bell finally revealed a shocked expression, finally snapping back to reality. She frantically looked around, and realized that there was no one there other than Xiao Lin and herself before she patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief. She glared at Xiao Lin as she said angrily, “You tricked me!”

Xiao Lin’s lips twitched as he said, “Please! Look in the mirror, you look like you lost your soul. If I didn’t say that, how long could we have been waiting here?”

Bell’s face reddened a little before she measured Xiao Lin with a weird expression.

“Hey hey hey! Your expression is scary! Tell me what you want to do!” Xiao Lin could not help but retreat a few steps.

“I have to admit, I’m now really curious about you.” Bell sighed with either regret or celebration.

“I’m sorry. I’m not a pedophile.” Xiao Lin’s face was also very strange.

Bell was not angered as she rolled her eyes and said, “To be honest, I never thought you were anything before this. Even though your skills are decent, even though that old man... Oh, I mean the old dean, favored you, I’ve seen too many youngsters like you. However, today I understand that you’re different. You’re unique.”

“Hold on, why didn’t you think much of me?” Xiao Lin’s lips twitched even more intensely.

Bell shook her head silently.

“What about now? Where did your curiosity come from?” Xiao Lin could only change the topic.

“Do you know what happened just now?” Bell asked.

Xiao Lin naturally shook his head. He himself wanted to know what happened.

Bell threw a crystal ball at Xiao Lin, saying, “This is a memory crystal of what happened just now. Oh, don’t worry. I won’t let anyone else see this thing.”

Xiao Lin already knew how to use the memory crystals, so he immediately opened it. After that, the scene in front of him caused his eyes to constantly widen in disbelief. Looking at what happened, Xiao Lin did not know what to say.
