Chapter 68 Master Level [Basic Meditation Technique—The Realm of Emptiness]!
Ronan sat cross-legged on the small bed and gently opened a bottle of blue potion in a beautiful crystal bottle in his hand.
After appreciating the blurry color of the potion itself and the countless tiny bubbles suspended in it, Ronan drank the entire bottle of potion in one gulp.
Close your eyes and meditate.
The accompanying mental power fluctuations rippled out from under the gray robe like transparent water ripples, and the robe swayed slightly.
Meditation For Ronan today, the process of "painting mosquito coils" with white light spots in the dark void is still in his mind.
But after taking the potion, the pure darkness and nothingness will fade a lot, and the white light spots will rotate more smoothly.
This lasted until the darkness of nothingness swept over again, and the flow of white light spots slowed down until it completely returned to normal.
It proved that the effect of the mental power-enhancing potion had been completely exhausted.
Ronan opened his eyes.
There was a white owl sitting on the window sill, and the pocket watch on the table was ticking, showing that more than half an hour had passed.
Ronan stood up and walked to the window, casually took out a low-level magic stone from his storage bag and fed it to the owl.
The latter pecked his palm humanely, said "thank you", and then put down a beautiful envelope tied with a pink bow.
【Your sincere invitation.】
Ronan briefly read the letter sent by the owl. It was an invitation.
A pair of wizards will hold a wedding in the small square on the east side of the college in the afternoon, and he is invited to attend.
Ronan shook his head and threw the envelope aside speechlessly.
He didn't know either of the newlywed wizards getting married in the letter, and the other party obviously didn't know him either, and the wedding invitation was sent out casually.
While living in the college, Ronan actually received a lot of similar "junk mail".
There will be one every now and then.
Sometimes it's a wedding, sometimes it's a lecture, and sometimes it's even more outrageous. It's purely a boring letter sent by a wizard who has made a breakthrough in pharmacy research to show off and express his joy.
This seems to be a trend and tradition among academic wizards.
Ronan sat down at the desk and clicked on his character panel.
[Name: Ronan Damien]
【Age: 16】
[Talent: No Attribute Affinity]
[Strength: Level 9 Wizard Apprentice (99%)]
Seeing the 99% progress shown in the strength column, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved on his face.
Ronan got three bottles of high-level mental power-enhancing potions from Linus's storage pouch. After taking two bottles, he finally pushed his mental power to the extreme of a ninth-level wizard apprentice.
The next thing he has to do is to remove the impurities, and then promote the spiritual power to transform first and achieve gasification.
Although Jerome warned him that he should drink less mental power-enhancing potions, otherwise it would be very troublesome to temper them.
But Ronan has been here all the way. His family knows his own affairs, so he still goes his own way.
There are two ways for Ronan to temper his mental power. One is the painful training during [Ascetic Exercise], and the other is the side effect of expert-level [Basic Meditation].
Ronan made a short decision and decided to mainly use the second method to achieve this goal.
The reason is actually very simple. One is that the training process of [Ascetic Exercise] is too painful. Under the premise that he is about to be promoted to an official wizard and the advantage of melee combat methods is about to be greatly weakened, he can insist on the attitude of not actively pursuing self-abuse if he can avoid self-abuse.
Although his [Charged Weapon] has just reached the master level and is very suitable for melee combat, his current physical fitness is still sufficient?
The second is [Ascetic Bodybuilding]. In the final analysis, this skill is still a common bodybuilding method, even worse than the ordinary knights' bodybuilding method - without the matching breathing method, you can't train fighting spirit. Ronan doesn't care about fighting spirit either.
[Basic Swordsmanship], which is also an ordinary skill, has broken through to the master level, and has not derived anything similar to the extraordinary realm.
[Ascetic Exercise] Even if you bite the bullet and go to the master, the gains may be very small.
So Ronan thought it would be better to focus all his energy on [Basic Meditation]. The proficiency of [Basic Meditation] is expert level. He just took this opportunity to rush forward and see if he could unlock a useful ability. .
After making the decision and clarifying the direction, Ronan reached out and took out a wizard's book on the table and flipped through it at will.
This book is about the origin of the wizarding world. It comes from the library of Hoddam College and Ronan has been reading it recently.
The book describes that in ancient times, or even more distant times, the entire wizarding world was actually an extremely vast continent.
At that time all wizards lived on the same land.
Later, due to the continuous wars between wizards, the continent collapsed, split into countless territories, and sank, finally becoming what it is today.
The book also mentioned the knowledge about the extraordinary realm that Ronan had always wanted to know.
It is said that before the continent collapsed, everyone was extraordinary, and any spell cast by an ancient wizard would be blessed by the law.
Because the free energy particles between heaven and earth were so abundant at that time, the power released by the same spell was far greater than it is today.
As the energy particles sank together with the shattered continent, such a grand scene no longer existed.
The book even puts forward an interesting idea called the "Nine-Ring Continent", which believes that today's continents are suspended in fragments in different dimensions of the world, like nine broken rings arranged from top to bottom.
A corresponding picture is also given. The nine interconnected broken rings are also like a nine-level staircase that spirals downward. The further down, the denser the free energy particles between heaven and earth.
"...According to him, the field of law is the wizard's in-depth interpretation of a spell.
The more thorough your understanding, the more energy particles you can gather each time you cast a spell, and the more powerful the spell will be. "
Ronan closed the book and looked thoughtful.
Compared with the panel, this explanation is quite reasonable.
To put it bluntly, it is to play with a spell to make it look like "turning decay into magic" in the martial arts novels of previous generations.
"... Based on this reasoning, every spell has the opportunity to derive a legal domain. Different spells have different types of legal domains, and the effect of the legal domain is unknown."
"In that era when everyone was like a dragon, how were those beings who were the leaders among humans defined their legal domains?
Beyond the ordinary? "
Ronan didn't know that so far, he had not met another wizard who understood the realm of law like him.
Maybe it's because the wizarding land of Hoddam is too remote, backward and barren?
“Why do I seem to have heard someone say this?”
Ronan remembered.
Angelet.
Angelet, whom Jerome called the most outstanding genius of the Forest of Deathrattle generation, had also lamented the barrenness and decay of this land.
"Has he also comprehended the realm of law?"
Ronan speculated that it was most likely yes.
Angele did not kill him, and even took the initiative to remove the traces on his body and gave him the God-burning potion. The main reason was because he saw him exerting two extraordinary powers and crossing the border to kill the official wizard as an apprentice. .
He sees himself as a fun toy.
Because he is too fragile at this stage and cannot withstand his tossing, he "urges" himself to grow up quickly and reach a level where he can have fun and play with him as soon as possible.
Ronan looked calm and expressionless. He looked out the window, and a green ivy came into view, and he thought of that crazy woman Laura again.
"This feeling of having your life in the hands of others and being at the mercy of others is really terrible."
At this moment, Ronan was extremely eager to advance to the official wizard level.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded in my ears.
Ronan's expression changed slightly, he put the book back to its original position, stood up, walked to the door and opened it.
On the steps outside the door, stood a thin black-haired boy wearing a student robe, holding a plate of steaming hot pie just out of the oven.
"Hello."
The black-haired boy greeted Ronan cautiously. He looked to be two years younger than Ronan and only had the strength of a fifth-level apprentice.
"My name is Dobby. I live next door. Come say hello."
As he spoke, the black-haired boy pointed to a dormitory next to him. "Hello, my name is Ronan."
Ronan took the fruit pie from the other party and introduced himself politely.
Dobby, a boy, exchanged greetings with Ronan and suddenly asked tentatively: "I would like to ask, who is your tutor?"
"tutor?"
Ronan was startled and shook his head, "I don't have a mentor."
Dobby immediately looked surprised, "You must be at level nine as an apprentice, right? You haven't chosen a mentor yet? Many people have already chosen the direction they want to take in the future by level five or six."
"Is there any necessary connection between the two?"
“Of course, different instructors represent different fighting schools.
Without a mentor, you will not be able to inherit the soul sigil. Even if you become an official wizard, your strength will be far behind others. "
Dobby talked freely to Ronan, and it was obvious that he was a person who liked to worry about others.
“You can think about it now.
However, I suggest you wait until you become Qi before going to the tutor area, otherwise the probability of being selected by a powerful tutor will be much higher."
Dobby pointed out the location of the mentor area to Ronan. Ronan looked over and saw only a colorful and beautiful roof.
"Thanks."
After sending away his warm-hearted neighbor, Ronan returned to his room thoughtfully.
Soul sigil.
This was the second time he heard the word.
The last time was in the notes of the ninth-level apprentice black-robed wizard.
Judging from the information revealed in their words, the soul sigil seems to be an extremely important existence for official wizards. It largely determines the strength of a wizard.
"We'll find out more about it later when we choose a mentor..."
Ronan shook his head and did not continue to delve deeper into this point.
For him, the top priority is to first reach the level of vaporization of his mental power.
In the following time, Ronan lived in seclusion, basically staying behind closed doors except for necessary material purchases.
I spend most of my time meditating every day. Occasionally I feel bored, so I sneak out of the academy at night and find a place where no one is around to practice my spells.
In fact, there is a special spell training room in the academy, but Ronan didn't want his mastery of the extraordinary magic domain to be known to the people in the academy.
Originally, that crazy woman Lola had already insisted that he was the one who killed Faao. If people find out now that he has comprehended the extraordinary realm and is powerful enough to threaten an official wizard, then there will be no way to escape suspicion. .
Thanks to the characteristics of the master-level [Charging Weapon - Spell-Breaking Power] that continuously consumes mental energy, Ronan's [Basic Meditation Technique] proficiency increased rapidly.
One month later.
Ronan looked at his panel.
[Name: Ronan Damien]
【Age: 17】
[Talent: No Attribute Affinity]
[Strength: Level 9 Wizard Apprentice (99%)]
[Skill: Basic Meditation (Expert 799/800)
Energy Missile-Particle Torrent (Master 42/1600)
Charged Weapon - Spellbreaking Power (Master 98/1600)
】
Just the night before, Ronan had just celebrated his 16th birthday, and his age officially entered 17.
In one month, Ronan finally reached the expert level of 799 in [Basic Meditation Technique] extent.
Although his strength is still 99% that of a ninth-level apprentice, Ronan has already felt a slight increase in his mental power during meditation, which proves that the impurities in his mental power have been almost eliminated and he is about to enter the gasification stage.
The proficiency of [Particle Torrent] has not increased much, only increased by ten points. However, the proficiency of [Spell-Breaking Power] has almost exceeded the 100 mark of the master level due to the continuous use of it every day.
If he can maintain this kind of practice, it will only take Ronan one year and three months to break through to the master level or above.
If there is a higher realm beyond the master level.
"It's almost done. It's estimated that the mental energy will be able to be vaporized today.
[Basic Meditation Technique] The proficiency breakthrough has also been achieved in the past two days."
Ronan calmed down and adjusted to the best condition.
Then he found a comfortable place to sit down in the room and took out a small bottle of potion that was only about half a finger long.
The medicine bottle contains a light white, flowing liquid that looks like mercury.
This thing is called "Water of Yasu", and it is a special type of spiritual power potion specially used to assist ninth-level wizard apprentices in transforming their spiritual power.
It is not available in ordinary magic stores. The price inside the academy is ten yuan for a bottle of intermediate magic stones. Ronan prepared five bottles.
After taking the medicine in the bottle, Ronan closed his eyes and began to meditate without complaining about the terrible taste.
In the dark and void space of consciousness, the expert-level [Basic Meditation Technique] that is about to be completed brings about the white light point that represents Ronan's spiritual power. It is extremely agile, just like a living thing, quickly drawing a circle in the darkness. Another brilliant track.
Ronan estimates that his current meditation efficiency may be more than ten times that of when he was an entry-level practitioner!
Soon, the medicinal effect of Yasu Water began to take effect, and the white light spot became restless.
Ronan could also feel that the mental energy lingering in his mind was like boiling water, starting to steam out.
This feeling is somewhat similar to the feeling when casting a spell at extreme speed, but it is longer lasting and clearer.
This boiling feeling lasted until the end of Ronan's meditation.
Ronan opened his eyes and glanced at the panel. There was no emotion on his face. He took out the second bottle of Yasu Water and continued the previous operation.
He didn't expect to succeed on the first try.
This was repeated until Ronan took the fourth bottle of Asu's water, and the "gulu gulu" boiling mental power suddenly "buzzed" and disappeared in an instant.
It was as if a pot of boiling water suddenly turned into billowing steam and all of it ran out of the pot.
At the same time, in the quiet room.
Ronan, who was sitting on the chair with his eyes closed, was suddenly blown up by his robe, and an invisible and huge air flow flowed out from his body, making all the furnishings in the room rattle.
The next second, Ronan opened his eyes.
Suddenly, the whole room suddenly became extremely bright.
Ronan seemed to have become the second light source in the room, and his whole body was "glowing" slightly.
"Is this the gasification stage?"
Ronan felt the transformation of his mental power.
The increase in total volume is secondary, mainly due to changes in form.
Before being vaporized, his mental power was like a transparent airflow mass. After being vaporized, the airflow mass turned into a ball of light mist!
The quality has improved and the mental power has become more active.
It is foreseeable that the casting speed and corresponding spell power will also be enhanced to a certain extent.
After experiencing the changes in mental power, Ronan called up his character panel to see more intuitive data changes.
As a result, he was slightly stunned for a moment after seeing the information on the panel clearly.
I saw that in the strength column, the original 99% progress after the ninth level wizard apprentice had reached 100%.
In addition, [Basic Meditation], which was stuck at expert level 799 proficiency level, also suddenly changed to——
[Basic Meditation Technique—The Realm of Emptiness (Master 1/1600)]!
