Chapter 70: Yang Chen's Magical Talent
"Let's not talk about him...... I'll take you to the test first...... "As he spoke, he walked to the bookshelf and removed a palm-sized crystal ball.
Yang Chen saw that he didn't know what was going on, so he could only watch obediently from the side.
Dean Boli wiped the crystal ball slightly, then motioned for Yang Chen to put his hand on it, and said, "The most important thing in practicing magic is talent, no matter how hard you work, no talent is in vain, now test your perception of magic elements, put your hand up, and close your eyes first......"
Yang Chen nodded, glanced at the crystal ball with some curiosity, put his hand on it, and closed his eyes as instructed.
"Don't think too much about it, the first and most important thing is to relax......"
Yang Chen's ears heard Dean Boli's soft voice.
"Follow my commands...... Breathe deeply...... Inhale...... Exhale...... Inhalation ......"
Gradually, Yang Chen relaxed.
"Tell me, what do you see now?"
Yang Chen's consciousness gradually blurred, his eyes were closed, but there were colorful colors......
"I see...... Balls of many colors flutter in the air......"
"Good...... Don't rush just yet...... Take it easy...... Slowly...... Slowly bring you to consciousness... Go hook up with the balls......"
Yang Chen subconsciously solved the ball ......
But soon, those small balls of all colors saw Yang Chen "coming", and they quickly dodged it......
"No...... They saw me running ......"
Yang Chen's voice was a little anxious......
"It's okay...... Never mind...... You get closer to them, slowly, little by little...... Unleash the ...... of goodwill"
Yang Chen nodded, slowly approaching those cute little things.
Yang Chen's consciousness kept telling that there was no malice, but those little balls were still a little suspicious......
However, as time went by, gradually, Xiaoqiu was willing to approach Yang Chen......
Yang Chen was overjoyed, and the kindness released was even stronger......
After a while, the red balls that first came to contact Yang Chen brought many small balls around Yang Chen, flying together.
Seeing this, the balls of other colors collided with each other and touched each other, and after a while, several balls of different colors were wrapped around Yang Chen......
......
"Wake up!" Dean Boli used his mental power to stimulate Yang Chen slightly, and Yang Chen slowly opened his eyes.
"I have good news and bad news here, which one do you want to listen to first?" Dean Boli asked Yang Chen with some evil taste.
Yang Chen looked at the smiling old man, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that he still had the talent to cultivate magic, otherwise Dean Boli would not have the leisure to follow him to watch this kind of joke.
"Listen to the bad ...... first"
Yang Chen decided to hear what the bad news was first.
"The bad news is ...... It's a pity that your magical affinity is not very high, and it is far from the admission level of the Academy of Magic......" Dean Bori shrugged as he spoke.
When Yang Chen heard the news, his heart couldn't help but sink, he had also read magic-related books before, and knew what it meant to have a low affinity for magic.
Everyone has their own magic affinity, and the higher the magic affinity, the more magic elements can be attracted, and the easier it is to accumulate mana...... Therefore, for magicians, the higher the magic affinity, the better.
When Yang Chen heard Dean Boli say that his magic affinity did not reach the average level of the Academy of Magic, the graduates of the Academy of Magic must be mage extraordinary, which shows that if it is lower than the enrollment level of the Academy of Magic, it means that the talent is not very good, even if it is painstakingly cultivated, it is difficult to reach the threshold of transcendence.
"That'...... And what about the good news?"
Yang Chen was in a little depressed, and said reluctantly pulling the corners of his mouth.
"Good news...... Dean Bori dragged in a long tone, intent on teasing the genius alchemist.
"That is, your mental power is relatively strong! Even if your magic affinity is a little low, you still have a great hope of breaking through the extraordinary!"
Dean Bori laughed.
Yang Chen really smiled at this time, for magicians, maybe magic affinity is more important, but in fact, if it is talented in spiritual power, it can completely make up for the defects in affinity, compared when the magic is really released, the magic power in the mage's body only acts as an introduction, whether the success of releasing magic is or not, the size of the power, or how many external elements can be directly linked to the spiritual power!
Generally speaking, people with a strong affinity for magic will take the initiative to get close to the magic elements, with a slight increase in the magic power reserve and magic release speed, while those with strong mental power can take the initiative to snatch the magic elements between heaven and earth and enhance the power of the spell......
It can be said that each has its own advantages......
"However, I would like to ask, are you born with this mental power, have you practiced meditation before?"
Meditation?
Yang Chen shook his head slightly.
"That's good......" Dean Boli nodded with a slight smile, "Spiritual power can be increased through acquired exercise, but generally speaking, people with strong spiritual power are naturally strong, the faster they can cultivate their spiritual power, and the higher the height they can reach in the future......"
"Uh-huh......"
Yang Chen looked like he was listening carefully.
I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart...... Mental strength, can you exercise the day after tomorrow?
"When I tested you just now, I found that your spiritual power is not only deeper than that of ordinary people, but also more resilient, which will undoubtedly be of great benefit to your cultivation in the future...... You take a look at this visualization first, and I'll take you to meditate and guide you later!"
As he spoke, he handed over a meditation map of the cultivation of a magic academy student.
Unexpectedly, Yang Chen didn't borrow it for the first time, which made Dean Boli a little stunned.
When Yang Chen heard that his mental strength was deeper than ordinary people, and he was tenacious, he vaguely felt that something was wrong......
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Dean Bori...... You just said that mental power can be exercised the day after tomorrow?"
"That's right......" Murri replied, placing the visualization in his hand on the table.
"That'...... If you read more books, will studying help you increase your mental strength?"
Yang Chen couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Hmm...... How do you say it......" When Dean Boli saw Yang Chen's appearance, he didn't know what to say, so he thought about it carefully and said.
"Generally speaking, reading and studying can naturally improve mental strength slightly, but not much...... It's not at all comparable to meditation...... However......" Dean Bori's eyes were a little dazed, his face was a little tangled, and he didn't know what he was thinking...... "However, there are still special circumstances......
"What's the situation?" Yang Chen couldn't help but ask.
At this time, he had a slight suspicion that his mental power might be the same as that of a normal person, but because he had experienced nine years of compulsory education and had been tempered by the college entrance examination, his mental power might be tempered and become more profound and tenacious.
"I don't know if I should tell you or not...... But since you asked, then you should listen to it as a story first. Dean Boli no longer had the entanglement just now, and said with a smile.
"There was once a mage who saw a little beggar in the street, and when he saw that he was pitiful, he took him back to his mage's tower and took him in. ”
"At first, I wanted to take him as an apprentice, but it turned out that the little beggar was not very talented in magic, so the kind mage asked the little beggar to help organize the books in the mage's tower. ”
The little beggar was also a little depressed after knowing that his talent was not good, but he still happily accepted the mage's suggestion and became the caretaker of the mage Tari's library, and his daily task was to organize the books. ”
"The mage's tower is not big, and there are only a few books, and the reason why the mage made him the librarian was just to find a reason to take him in, or else this poor homeless little beggar would freeze to death and starve to death. The little beggar also knew the mage's thoughts, so he took it with him at ease. ”
After that, the little beggar took time to learn to read while sorting out the books, at first just to pass the time, but later he fell in love with reading. ”
The old master was very pleased and moved when he saw this, so he found many books for him to read. Over the decades, the tower changed hands, but he was still the librarian who loved to read. ”
"Because he likes to read, he is quite knowledgeable, and even the owner of the mage tower often asks him about some strange things. So, no one cared about him, and they cooperated with him to collect the books he liked to read. ”
Then, after another few decades, the little beggar who loved to read became an old man who loved to read...... Because the old man was very knowledgeable, many mages came to him for help. ”
At first, the old man helped to answer, but as he read more and more, he read almost all the books circulating on the market...... I made a rule that if someone wanted to ask a question in the future, they would need to find a unique copy of their treasure in exchange......"
At first, people were not far away, but they were too lazy to spend time looking for a pile of books, so they finally agreed to the old man's proposal. After that, the old man read more and more, but his mental power also increased little by little without his knowledge. ”
More than ten years later, the old man was already old by this time...... But he still insisted on reading every day, and finally, when the old man was 86 years old and walked into the gate of the underworld on half a leg...... Something happened that everyone didn't expect......"
"Old man, one day, in the process of reading, I stepped into the holy realm in one fell swoop!"
"This shocked that era, you know, although the old man has stayed in the mage tower all his life and read all kinds of cultivation books, he has never had the idea of cultivating, but he didn't expect that overnight, he actually crossed the transcendental, sky realm from an ordinary person in a row, and went directly to the holy realm!"
"Someone asked the old man why he was able to step into the holy realm in one fell swoop and achieve a field that some people can't set foot in a lifetime, but the old man said that he didn't do anything from beginning to end, just reading!"
After the story was finished, Yang Chen was stunned for a moment while listening, originally wanted to ask about the promotion of spiritual power by reading and learning, but he didn't expect to hear about the rise of a Sacred Domain powerhouse!
"That'...... What's this old man's name?"
Yang Chen asked......
Bori shook his head lightly and said, "No one knows his real name.
But...... Everyone calls him, Ogmar, the god of knowledge!"
