Zhao Hai had a metal element divergent ability . However, he had no way to integrate this kind of ability into his own attacking system . He can use both martial arts and magic, but he can’t use his metal element in them . So as soon as he heard Margaret saying that runes were divided into nine major departments, of which the five elements were part of, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but ask .
Margaret looked at Zhao Hai . She also knew that the lower realms generally had no metal element magic . Because of this, she knew how to answer Zhao Hai’s question, “Correct,there is metal element magic here . Unlike the lack of metal element magic in the lower realms, the Machine Field was able to develop metal element magic by studying the Cultivation Realm’s five element energy . ”
Zhao Hai nodded, it seems like the Machine Realm’s Magic Theory had absorbed some aspects of the cultivation realm’s spells . Then they slowly evolved their methods in order to arrive at their current state .
Actually, it can be said that in the World of Cultivation, most cultivation methods have aspects that tie them back to the Cultivation Realm . Take the Machine Field, for example, their two strongest means of attack were through battleships and magical mechas .
It was needless to say that battleships came up through studying the Cultivation Realm’s crafting techniques . After being baptized with magic formations, it became a weapon . But even if its might was formidable, it needed to be mentioned that it still fell short compared to the Cultivation Realm’s magic artifacts .
As for magical mechas, to put it bluntly, they were enlarged version of the Cultivation Realm’s golem techniques . And naturally, it wasn’t as good as the Cultivation Realm’s golem techniques . Golem techniques allow control over multiple golems . Moreover, when a golem was destroyed, the damage to the controller was limited . As for magical mechas, they are a combination between golem techniques as well as the Cultivation Realm’s armor refining techniques . Although its might wasn’t small, each pilot can only control one mecha . And when a mecha gets destroyed, the pilot would certainly die .
The machine field’s Magic Theory was also conceived with the same principle . It was partly based on the Cultivation Realm’s five elements . As for how they managed to extract that aspect, nobody knows .

Although Zhao Hai managed to figure these out, he didn’t say anything . Instead he just nodded . Margaret saw Zhao Hai’s understanding and then asked, “I heard that you’re an all-element Mage . Which rune department do you want to study?”
There was no need for Zhao Hai to think as he immediately answered, “Instructor, I want to study runes of the dark element . It would be best if they are related to summons . ”
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Margaret’s eyes couldn’t help but shine . She was someone from the Ashley family, a heritage of Dark Mages . Naturally, she hoped that Zhao Hai would study dark element runes .
However, Zhao Hai has to decide which department he would study in . Even if Zhao Hai wanted to learn runes from other elements, the Ashley family would still take him in . The Ashely Family were a group of Dark Mages, but they would still recruit Mages from other departments . Otherwise, it would be impossible for the family to grow . It was only because the core members of the family were Dark Mages that they were titled as a Dark Mage family .
Margaret took a deep breath in order to calm her mood . Then she said, “Actually, if you want to progress with Magic Theory, you would need to learn all runes . It’s just unfortunate that there are too many runes in existence . Only a few could achieve such an endeavor . Magic formations with one element aren’t too strong . But if you fuse runes from two departments, their might would increase a lot . It’s not just a simple matter of adding one and one . ”
Zhao Hai gave a nod . Then Margaret continued, “You certainly are familiar with dark element summoning magic . But in the Machine Field, in order to display its biggest strength, you would need to study dark element runes as well as space element runes . I’ll teach you dark element runes first . Then after a few days, we’ll tackle runes of the space element . Dark element summoning magic focuses mainly on dark element runes while space runes act as auxiliary . ” Zhao Hao nodded once more . Margaret began to draw a symbol on the wall . Each stroke of the rune were clearly stated . The interpretation of the rune was also well detailed .

Although Zhao Hai just looked like he was listening, he was actually informing Cai’er to record everything . Not a single character should be missed . This was very important for their future .
Although he had Cai’er record the runes, this didn’t mean that Zhao Hai couldn’t understand them . Each rune might look simple, but a single change would have an impact on the rune . It was clear that the Machine Field’s understanding of these runes was beyond his imagination . The emergence of these runes was truly priceless in the use of magic formations .
The people inside Zhao Hai’s Space were also researching magic formations . However, compared to the Machine Field, they were still too far off . The people from the Machine Field researched for who knows how many years before coming up with Magic Theory . But in order to be an expert in this system, one needed to cross a certain threshold, studying magic runes . The reason why there were a lot of runes was because people would create new runes . Because of this, the number of runes wasn’t fixed . One could also study magic formations itself . However, it would be better if you created your own formation that suited your style . And in the process, creating a new rune was much easier than creating your own magic formation .
As he listened to Margaret’s lecture, Zhao Hai nodded . Creating new runes was just like inventing something new, nothing very special . However, creating a new magic formation was different . It was just like the difference between creating a new word and creating a new sentence .
What made Zhao Hai happy were Margaret’s words telling him that the runes could be found on the computer . This was absolutely good news for Zhao Hai .
Others might not remember all of the runes, but he can . He has the Space to do it for him . This was equal to Zhao Hai having the computing power of a computer .
Average people might remember all of the runes, however they would find it hard to use the most appropriate ones when necessary . It was just like how a person who knows how to write might not know how to write an article .
Although Zhao hai had learned a lot of runes, the time he spent doing so was actually a lot . It took about two hours for Margaret to introduce the runes . Margaret concluded the class at around 11 o’clock .
Zhao Hai expressed his gratitude before walking out of the classroom and heading towards the cafeteria . All this time, runes had occupied his head . He was itching to obtain those runes .
However, he also knew that he shouldn’t be too anxious about this matter . After waiting in the cafeteria for some time, Dins and the others arrived . Zhao Hai stood up as he was warmly greeted by the Old Mages .
Although Zhao Hai was young, these Old Mages were experienced in human interactions, so they didn’t dare to underestimate Zhao Hai . If not for Zhao Hai, they might still be depressed .
Zhao Hai hastily returned their greeting . After exchanging courtesies, Zhao Hai looked at Dins and the others and said, “Everyone . Why are you still on this floor? Couldn’t you request a transfer?”
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Dins and the others couldn’t help but turn red . Each one of them had been dejected until recently . Because of this, they didn’t have the motivation to transfer floors . Moreover, they ascended earlier than Zhao Hai, so they shouldn’t be present on the first floor . When they heard Zhao Hai, they couldn’t help but feel embarrassed .
Zhao Hao looked at their reactions and knew what they were thinking . He didn’t laugh at them . They were in a poor condition, so laughing at their state was useless . Zhao Hai just gave a friendly chuckle as he said, “Tinkle, lead us to the store to have a look . Right, let’s look for a bank first . ”
Tinkle replied, “Yes, Young Master . The shops and the bank are on the first floor of the academy . Please follow me . ” Zhao Hai nodded and then turned to Dins and the others, “Today’s my treat . We’ll explore the shops to look . I’ll buy you anything you want . Sigh, it’s a pity I wasn’t able to go shopping with beautiful women . Instead, what I get is a group of old men . It’s unfair!” As soon as they heard Zhao Hai, Dins and the others felt their hearts warm up . But after a moment of staring, the group began to burst into laughter .
Dins looked at Zhao Hai and said, “You smelly brat . It’s your fortune to have us accompany you . What are you being sad about . Let’s go!” Zhao Hai chuckled before shaking his head . Then along with the smiling old men, Zhao Hai walked out of the cafeteria .
While the group was chatting, they quickly arrived at the elevator . This time, they rode one of the bigger elevators as they headed to the first floor .
When the elevators opened up, Zhao Hai saw two beautiful women in professional attire standing in the front . They were smiling as they said to the group, “Welcome, everyone!”
Zhao Hao nodded before inspecting the scenery ahead . Before him was a very large market with a lot of people inside . A large part of these people were staff . The staff weren’t wearing mage robes . Those who were wearing mage robes were ascenders who were buying stuff with their robots .
Zhao Hai didn’t bother the two women for long as he led the old men towards the market . This was also the first time for the old men, all of them couldn’t help but be absorbed by the atmosphere .
As the group were walking along, Zhao Ha inspected the shops . All of the things that Mages generally used were here . Some of the items offered were even beyond what Zhao Hai expected .
