Chapter 69 Mentor, hitting a wall

Chapter 69 Mentor, hitting a wall

"The realm of emptiness and clarity."

Ronan muttered these four words.

After thinking about it, I closed my eyes and meditated again.

In the void consciousness space, the original darkness has completely disappeared.

I saw a little light source hovering in the sky, like a small sun, emitting a ripple-like white halo of light one after another.

There is a steady stream of spiritual power emerging from it.
“That’s not right?!”

Ronan's mind suddenly moved slightly, and his closed eyes trembled for a moment, then quickly opened.

If there is a second person present now, he can clearly see that the color of Ronan's pupils has changed from the endless and quiet lake blue to the clear and translucent blue, glowing slightly, like the finest and clearest blue crystal, giving people a sense of wonder. A feeling of ultimate calmness and wisdom.

At this time, Ronan felt that his brain was thinking extremely fast. Every second, there seemed to be countless inspirations colliding and bursting out. After taking a breath, Ronan took out the blank from his storage waist bag. of rune stones and rune carving knives, and began to engrave runes.

The first blank rune stone is to try to engrave the zero-level advanced [Swift] rune.

Silky, smooth... all in one go, successful.

Then the second one.

The third one.
Ronan carved five [Swift] runes in one breath, and all were successful!

Before that, his success rate of imprinting on the [Swift] rune was less than 30%!

During the entire imprinting process, Ronan's brain was thinking calmly and clearly, as if his soul had briefly left the body, overlooking all the work he had completed from a third-party perspective.

After it was over, there was almost no loss of mental energy and it was still in a full state.

After five, Ronan stopped imprinting and took out a metal box full of patterns.

It's the mysterious box obtained from Linus.

Ronan tries to crack.

After a while
Failed.

"Still not working..."

The azure light emitting from Ronan's pupils dimmed, and a faint feeling of exhaustion emerged. He shook his head, "With the increase of mental strength in the [King Kong Ming Realm], I still can't break the rune lock on this box. It seems that I have to do it." I can’t open it until I’m promoted to an official wizard.”

Even so, Ronan was still in a happy mood.

Summarizing the effect of the master-level [Basic Meditation Technique - Realm of Empty Ming]
"An extremely clear and calm brain, and a mana recovery buff that is almost equivalent to taking an intermediate mental power recovery potion at any time!"

"Also, it can also be turned on during battle!"

These two effects greatly improved Ronan's strength.

The former made his mentality, combat consciousness, and overall view instantly rise to the level of a true master.

The latter's role is even more crucial, especially for people like Ronan who have mastery of two extraordinary legal realms, which have extremely huge demands on their mental power.

After turning on the [Bright Realm], Ronan releases [Energy Missile - Particle Torrent], and he no longer has to worry about being "empty blue" for a moment. At least he can retain a certain amount of combat power after releasing it, and the fatal weakness period is greatly shortened.

The duration of casting [Charged Weapon - Spell-Breaking Power] can also be greatly extended.

"Currently, the proficiency level of [King Kong Ming Realm] is only 1 point at the master level. When the proficiency level is high, the effect will continue to improve."

Ronan sighed, feeling at this moment that his decision to focus on [Basic Meditation Technique] was really wise.

[The Realm of Empty Ming] activates and consumes the mind, which can probably be understood as the energy that meditation cannot completely replace and can only be replenished by sleep.

The ingredients of this thing are very complex and are related to a person's will, physical fitness and other aspects.

"When your mental power reaches the level of Qi, you can finally reach the official wizard level."

Ronan felt his mental power changing like light and mist, and thought quietly.

What he has to do next is to become a mentor and learn from him everything he needs to know in order to achieve a breakthrough as a formal wizard, including soul sigils, combat styles, and other things that he had only a partial understanding of before. Prepare.

Thinking of this, Ronan didn't waste any time. He straightened his robe and got up to go out.

On a sunny afternoon, Ronan walked slowly along the tree-lined white stone avenue.

Occasionally, you can see young wizards wearing college robes walking towards you on the road. You can feel the momentum that Ronan exudes, which belongs to the aura-level wizard apprentices. They all show awe and friendliness.

Directly in front of Ronan, behind the tall and dense sycamore trees, is a cluster of small houses with their own beautiful roofs, some of which have glass roofs, reflecting colorful light in the sunlight.

That is the mentor's living area where he will go next.

Before arriving, Ronan specifically asked his neighbor Dobby about it, and Dobby secretly told him to start with the house on the far left when choosing a mentor.

Although the strength of the tutors in the tutor area is not necessarily related to their living location, the tutors who live in the leftmost area of ​​the tutor area are basically the oldest and oldest wizards in the academy, and their strength, knowledge, etc. are naturally also Stronger.

Ronan chose to readily adopt Dobby's suggestion and quickly walked to a house at the far left end of the tutor area.

This is a small house with a gray exterior, with a small garden, and a magical fountain spraying water on the lawn.

"Ludo."

The name of the resident was written on the small sign hanging at the door of the yard for a long time. Ronan glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and stood still at the door.

"It is said that you are choosing a mentor, but actually you are letting the mentor choose you.
In addition to the most basic strength and qualifications, appearance, personality, temperament, etc. may also become important factors in being selected by a mentor...
What you have to do is very simple, show yourself to the best of your ability in front of the instructor! ”

These were the exact words Dobby said to him before going out. Ronan privately understood it as - isn't it just a "blind date"?

Just try to make the other person see eye to eye with you.

In fact, Ronan is quite confident. Because he insists on exercising, his appearance is extremely good, and he is definitely a rare handsome man among the wizards.

"As long as you're not like Linus, you just have to be unlucky enough to meet a Nantong wizard."

Ronan thought to himself, and then slowly released his gasification level mental power in front of the small garden courtyard, like a peacock spreading its wings to court a mate.

The response came quickly.

A majestic spiritual power suddenly burst out of the small house and quickly fell on Ronan.
Ronan felt like he was "lucky" and his spirits were lifted.

But before he could make the next reaction, the mental power was retracted at a faster speed.

"What kind of crooked piece of trash dares to wander around in front of me! Don't block the sunlight!"

A grumpy old voice came from the house.

Ronan's confident expression froze on his face. For a moment, he felt like he was standing under the girls' dormitory with a large bouquet of flowers, and then someone poured a large basin of cold water on him.

"Crooked melon. Split date?"

"waste?"

Ronan opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Finally, he bowed slightly to the door of the house, said "Excuse me", and turned to leave.

Even as he walked far away, he seemed to still be able to hear a faint snort of disdain coming from behind him.

A bad start.

Ronan was shocked.

But seeing the small houses in the tutor area, he cheered up again.

"My qualifications are poor, and it's normal for some wizards to look down on me. Try a few more times, and you'll always meet someone who's not so picky.

With so many mentors, there must be a few who are willing to turn on the light for me." Ronan thought, and continued to the second house.

After a while, Ronan came to the door of the second house.

Then came the third building
The fourth building.
The fifth building.
Ronan kept stopping in front of small houses, and then kept leaving.

My mentality started from the beginning - I am a young and talented person, so I must choose the best mentor.

Come on - OK, I admit that my qualifications are a little bit behind. An average instructor can do it. As the saying goes, the master leads you in. Practicing depends on the individual. The key is to rely on yourself!
Finally - where are the people? ! Just come to anyone! As long as you are an official wizard and are willing to accept me, that's fine! I just want the most common inheritance!

"Are you going to be so outrageous?"

Ronan left the door of the unknown house. The expression on his face had already become stiff and numb, and there was no trace of the high-spirited look he had at the beginning.

After wandering around dozens of houses, the owners of the houses Ronan met almost always withdrew the probing mental power he released at the first touch, and then rejected them all without exception.

Some of them were driven away by the coldness released by the other party before they even got close.

Ronan really couldn't understand it.

Why?
Even though his qualifications are a bit low, he is still a serious top apprentice who has reached the Qi Transformation level. Why is he so unpopular? !

Ronan wandered around the tutor area with a sullen expression. In fact, there were not many houses left that he had not tried yet.

Suddenly, Ronan's eyes glanced at a place covered by thick fog.

It was an old-fashioned academy, like a palace, with dense ivy covering the doorposts and exterior walls.

"The dean's residence."

Unknowingly, Ronan had arrived here.

His eyes flickered slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly walked over.

Ordinary college wizards look down on him, but maybe the most powerful college dean can look at him differently?
Ronan plans to try his luck. There is no rule that the tutor cannot choose the dean.

But before Ronan could get close to the palace, the countless ivy outside the palace began to squirm like snakes, and quickly gathered and twisted to form a huge female face. With a ferocious expression, Ronan screamed: "Insects! Hypocrisy! Shameless and despicable insect! I will kill you sooner or later!"

Ronan turned pale and stepped back.

Laura!

It's Laura!
Thanks to his delusion of becoming the dean’s disciple, he almost forgot that there was a woman like Laura.

"I see."

Ronan looked back at the mentor area, and the reason for all the cold treatment he had received before suddenly became clear at this moment.

Or Laura.

Faol's death caused an uproar in the academy. He was targeted by Laura. This matter is probably known to everyone in the circle of official wizards.

No one would get into big trouble like Laura for his little apprentice, especially if his own talent is not outstanding.

Perhaps, in the eyes of these people... he might have been someone who was destined to die.

"In this case, there is no need to continue the so-called mentor selection."

Ronan became sober, his face expressionless, and his fists under his robe slowly clenched.

It's just that he doesn't have a mentor, which is not enough to hinder his promotion to an official wizard.

It has only been a few months since he joined the academy. He has come all the way to this point. When did he need the support and guidance of others?

"Finally, let's try to find Jerome. He dared to confront Laura head-on, and he might be willing to lend a helping hand to me now."

Jerome's impression on Ronan was quite positive, although he still had the indifference of a formal wizard deep down.

Having made up his mind, Ronan was ready to leave.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Ronan's ears.

"Aren't you going to come to my place and give it a try?"

"Who is speaking?!"

Ronan turned his head suddenly and looked around in surprise.

The voice that suddenly sounded was clear and bright, like a singing lark, and it was the voice of a very young girl.

"Look here, here."

The voice called towards Ronan. Ronan followed the sound and saw a small house on the edge of the tutor area. The yard was full of irises and had a beautiful blue spire.

Ronan's eyes flickered, hesitating for a moment, then walked towards the house.

"Amara Blackthorne."

Ronan softly read the name of the owner on the wooden identification sign at the hospital door.

Looking up towards the house, the bright voice sounded again.

"Do you want to choose an official wizard as your mentor?"

"right."

Ronan continued talking to the voice, "My spiritual power has been transformed into energy, and I am about to become a formal wizard, but there are still many things I don't understand, so I want to seek guidance from a mentor."

"Then come closer."

said the voice.

Ronan took two steps forward.

"Come closer."

Ronan continued, and when he was about to step onto the garden lawn, the voice stopped him.

"Okay, just stand there! Don't go any further!"

Ronan stopped, and then a stream of spiritual power emanated from the house and fell on him.

'So weak.'

Ronan felt the gap between this spiritual power and the previous house owners, and silently complained in his heart.

But soon he couldn't help but laugh at himself. No one else wanted him, but he started to dislike others.

The mental power of the owner of the little house with the blue roof gave Ronan the feeling that he was the weakest he had encountered along the way, but he also stayed with him the longest and explored him most carefully.

Finally, the mental power was recovered.

The crisp voice sounded again, but this time the words were much less bright.

Ronan heard the girl sigh.

"Now I know why everyone doesn't want you."

"or."

His voice paused, and with a hint of comfort and testing, he whispered: "Are you giving up?

In fact, I think it's good to be a ninth-level apprentice all the time. At least I can live a long time. "

Ronan: "???"
