Chapter 554: Xingluo's Understanding of the Summoning Array

Xingluo originally started studying the ancient magic circle for summoning demons just out of interest. He didn't hold out much hope, but just wanted to expand his knowledge through experiments, perhaps discovering some new magic theories in this field. However, he never expected that after several improvements and repeated deductions, he would accidentally find the key opportunity to break through his own bottleneck. This made him ecstatic, and at the same time, it ignited a strong desire to explore in his heart. The magic problems that had troubled him in the past seemed to have suddenly been answered, which aroused his greater academic enthusiasm.

From then on, Xingluo no longer devoted himself to the teaching affairs of the academy as before. Although his interest in teaching faded day by day, he still maintained a rigorous attitude towards his duties, showing up in class on time without any slackness. In class, Xingluo always patiently answered every question of the students, from the most basic magic principles to complex advanced spells, his answers were always accurate and correct. His rigor and profound knowledge made him more and more famous in the academy, and he was even regarded as a legend in the minds of many students.

Soon, the word about his superb teaching skills spread like wildfire, and more and more students came to listen to his class. Even some students who were not interested in summoning magic would take time out of their schedule to sit in on his class. Xingluo's classroom was packed, and even students who came early to reserve seats could hardly secure a good seat. Many people could only stand in the aisle of the classroom, and some even lined up outside the window just to listen to him explain a few magic problems.

Faced with this unprecedented event, the academy had to temporarily adjust the classroom for Xingluo. The ordinary-sized classroom that originally belonged to him could no longer accommodate so many students. Therefore, the academy specially arranged a larger classroom for him, hoping to accommodate the students who kept coming to attend the class. However, even so, the classroom was still often crowded with people who wanted to audit the class. Xingluo's class had become a grand event for the entire academy, attracting the enthusiasm and expectations of countless students.

Xingluo was not a particularly popular mentor. Although he was knowledgeable and had high magical attainments, he was always low-key, serious and cautious in teaching, and rarely participated in social activities within the academy. In addition to his daily class schedule, he spent most of his time in his laboratory, conducting various complex magic experiments and research. Many students in the academy even thought that he was a taciturn, old-fashioned and boring mentor who only gained some fame by virtue of his deep understanding of magic.

However, as Xingluo's research on the demon summoning array gradually deepened, his life changed dramatically. This ancient and mysterious field has always been regarded as a taboo or a risky field by magicians inside and outside the academy. Summoning demons not only requires extremely high magic control, but also requires the caster to be familiar with complex knowledge such as magic contracts, magic supply, and space transmission. Many mages who rashly conduct such experiments either suffer backlash due to energy loss, or make mistakes during the summoning process, causing the demon to destroy the summoning array, thus causing a disaster. Therefore, although the academy does not explicitly prohibit this type of research, it always maintains a cautious and vigilant attitude.

Xingluo chose to study the summoning array out of a desire for self-breakthrough. He has been teaching at the academy for many years, and he has been involved in almost all magical subjects. His personal attainments in space magic and spells have reached a height that ordinary people cannot reach. Despite this, Xingluo always feels a deep sense of powerlessness, as if he is standing at the pinnacle of magic, with endless void in front of him - he knows very well that his strength and cognition have reached a bottleneck. If he does not make some challenging attempts, he will never be able to break this limit. It is driven by this mentality that Xingluo began to study the array for summoning demons, hoping to find a new breakthrough through this dangerous experiment.

The initial experiments did not go smoothly, and it could even be said that they were full of setbacks and dangers. The complexity of the demon summoning array was beyond his imagination, and every step had to be accurate and precise, and the slightest mistake could lead to serious consequences. In several experiments, his magic array collapsed due to unstable energy, and at one point a demon even broke through the barrier and almost invaded his laboratory. But Xingluo was not discouraged by this, and instead became more and more courageous. He constantly adjusted the structure of the array, improved the arrangement order of the magic runes, and combined with his deep understanding of space magic, tried to incorporate this knowledge into the design of the array.

It was this spirit of perseverance that eventually led him to a breakthrough in a key experiment. That day, Xingluo personally drew a brand new summoning array. The arrangement of runes was exquisite, and each node was precisely calculated. When he activated the array, the air was suddenly filled with a powerful wave of magic power, as if the entire space was trembling slightly. The energy vortex in the center of the summoning array gradually took shape, and as time went on, the energy became more and more stable. At this moment, Xingluo suddenly felt an unprecedented power pouring into his body. This power was not only the magic power from the outside world, but more of his own magic power was sublimated. He realized that he had found the opportunity for a breakthrough in magic.

This discovery made Xingluo extremely excited. He realized that the summoning array was not just a tool for summoning creatures from the outside world. Its core was the flow of magic power and the manipulation of space. By improving the array, he unexpectedly opened the door to a higher level of magic. Xingluo realized a new way of operating magic power from this experiment, which far surpassed any magic theory he had learned before. It can be said that his strength made a qualitative leap at that moment.

From then on, Xingluo no longer paid attention to the daily teaching in the academy. He devoted most of his time every day to further improve the magic circle and study the flow of magic. He only regarded ordinary teaching tasks as routine. However, even so, he still maintained a sense of responsibility for his students. Whenever a student asked a question in class, he always answered patiently and carefully, never perfunctorily. No matter how difficult the question was, Xingluo could always point out the core problem and give a precise answer. Because his answers were often profound and thorough, and could even make students suddenly enlightened about some complex magic concepts, his teaching reputation did not decline but increased, and more and more students began to come to listen to his lectures.
