Nois's lab was well soundproofed, and aside from the rustling sound of a quill against paper, there were no other sounds.
In such a quiet environment, it was easier for a person to focus.
Colin stood to the left of Nois, carefully reading the manuscript he had picked up.
This was the first sheet from the stack on the far left, and after reviewing it for a moment, he put it back.
Nois had apparently arranged these papers in order, and what Colin had just picked up was a fragment from the middle of a reasoning process, which was difficult to understand without the context of the earlier content.
Colin flipped through the sheets in front of him, and a moment later, he picked up the one from the very middle, which was indeed the beginning part.
Nois paused slightly in his writing, glanced at him, and then continued to concentrate on verifying calculations.
Being able to spot the first sheet… it seemed that Colin had also done some research in secret, at least on the Deep Red Marking Technique.
In fact, that was exactly the case, as after using Golden Paper to achieve Limit Breaking on the Deep Red Marking Technique, Colin reached a new level of understanding of it.
Otherwise, if it had been yesterday before the Limit Breaking, he would probably only be baffled by the sheets in front of him.
But even now, the complex content on the manuscript still seemed rather obtuse, with some knowledge extending beyond his current grasp.
Colin watched intently, reading very slowly and, one could even say, arduously.
However, he was like a snail carrying a heavy shell, slow but at least still making sluggish progress.
During this process, the complex knowledge continuously interchanged in Colin's mind.
For the parts he could not understand, by combining context and mental analysis and calculations, a careful review a few times also led to successful deductions.
Moreover, with the function of Superbrain, he did not need to use paper and pen to organize, especially for calculation-involved content, as he could obtain the answers just by glancing.
Thus, after a while, feeling something, Colin's thoughts suddenly stirred, and he summoned the Golden Paper.
Without making any noticeable movement, he glanced from the corner of his eye, and his expression slightly froze.
Behind a Deep Red Marking Technique Limit Breaking incident, an ascending ↑ symbol faintly flashed.
This symbol indicated that the Deep Red Marking Technique was being enhanced.
But soon, Colin came to his senses—
This was a perfectly normal occurrence, as the progress represented on the Golden Paper exactly depicted the level of understanding of witchcraft.
And to enhance the understanding of witchcraft,
For common wizards, the most orthodox approach would likely involve first studying the theory behind it on paper, supplemented by suitable practice as practical case references.
Once the knowledge behind the witchcraft was fully clarified, further practice would be added to improve casting proficiency.
For important witchcraft of the First Rank and above, a Magic Model would also be engraved in the Spirit Sea.
But for Colin, a more direct and efficient way was simply practice.
If witchcraft was a flashlight, its function was to emit light.
Ordinary wizards who wanted to fully master the "flashlight" to proficiently emit light had to disassemble it to understand each component's principles and structure thoroughly.
For him, however, it was only necessary to keep turning the flashlight on and off, and he would naturally comprehend its structure and principle.
This was a Talent that could directly reach the essence from the surface.
Colin put down the manuscript in his hand and neatly arranged it aside for easy restoration later, then continued to pick up and read the next sheet.
On the Golden Paper, the number behind the Deep Red Marking Technique slightly vibrated and locked at—(1/100).
Colin smiled subtly in his mind and continued to read with focused attention.
After all, opportunities to see such detailed witchcraft manuscripts, not to mention ones that came from the renowned Nois, were not always available.
Every chance to enhance one's strength had to be grasped firmly!
Additionally, apart from the direct progress, learning more different relevant knowledge could also enhance the upper limit of the Golden Paper Limit Breaking Deep Red Marking Technique.
In some ways, this was an even more precious benefit.
The only pity was that some of the content on the manuscripts written by Nois was too advanced; even with careful reading, it remained incomprehensible.
When faced with such content, Colin's only choice was to skip it, doing his best to understand as much as possible.
It must be said, though, that even after performing Golden Paper Limit Breaking, his understanding of the Deep Red Marking Technique was still far from matching Nois's.
In fact, the initial Deep Red Marking Technique he had mastered was actually a reduced version optimized by Nois.
The purpose of creating this reduced version was clearly to popularize the witchcraft as much as possible, allowing every wizard apprentice of higher levels to use it.
From this, it was evident that before finalizing this version of the Deep Red Marking Technique, Nois might have developed countless versions.
The Heart Power and Talent required were simply astonishing to consider!
Of course, the benefits the finalized Deep Red Marking Technique brought to the wizard community did not betray the effort invested.
In this way, not knowing how long had passed, and when the characters on the Golden Paper had jumped to 12/100, Nois finally paused, temporarily ending a stage of reasoning.
"How is the reading? Can you understand it?" Nois raised his head and asked, his face, like that of an ordinary middle-aged man, bearing deep fatigue.
