"They're all such incredible people."

Jiang Han set down her pen, took a breath, exhaled, and sorted the sheets of draft paper soaked in Dragon Blood Ink one by one.
She already had an "idea" in mind. After integrating the casual writings of several dozen profound scholars, she could arrive at one conclusion:
"I really am trash."

Jiang Han took another sip of beer and inspected the drafts bit by bit. They recorded the masterpieces of various master Witches:
"By reshaping a current of water, transform it into the sensation of flames. After summoning a stream of water imbued with illusionary capabilities to envelop the target, make them believe they are in a sea of fire...

Very interesting—it seems to be the exact opposite of Roxanne's idea."
"Abandon the effects of illusion, retaining only its casting gestures and incantations. Replace the essence of 'illusion' and directly refine it into a composite Evocation spell with direct effects... From Anjie. This seems to be the theory of the Ultramodern School; it overturns most of the Eight Schools' theories."
