Vol.2 Entrance Exams Chapter 6 The Old Man Who Looks Like Wine (4)
"Yes, it's smart. Bacardi said, "Material refining is more suitable for 'tangible' elements such as water, wood, earth, and wind, because there are many refining materials to choose from." For example, there are water, seawater, fresh water and even sewage, and soil has different extracts such as ore, sand, mud, etc. For 'energy-type' elements such as fire, thunder, and sound, there is only one substance that can be refined, and it is more appropriate to refine the characteristics. Of course, whether an elementalist is material or characteristic is his own talent, and it has nothing to do with the elemental energy attribute. Bacardi said as he turned to page 78 of "The Basis of the Elements", "I have summarized a list of the material extracts of the seven elemental energies, if you are interested, you can take a look." Of course, the amount of refiners does not represent the strength of the material elemental, and how to use the refiners and ranks is the key point in judging strength. ”
Yang Haohui glanced at a full-page table. It's not too much different from what we talked about before, there are more than a hundred kinds of refinements for each of the four major elemental energies of water, earth, wood, and wind, and when it comes to the turn of fire and thunder, these three are much more miserable, the refinement of fire has only one 'flame', and the refinement of thunder has only one 'current'. The sound is a little better, and there are two extracts, one 'sonic wave' and one 'microwave'. ”
"Understood, what is the refinement of characteristics?" Yang Haohui retracted his gaze.
"Do you know why I borrowed your hand just now?" Bajia smiled wickedly, "just for the purpose of character refinement." ”
The vine extract in Bacardi's hand suddenly slammed into Yang Haohui's finger at high speed like a whip, and an incision appeared,
Blood poured out instantly.
"It hurts!" Yang Haohui grinned.
"Learning knowledge by practice is a deep memory. "Bacardi has a lot of words.
"You cut your own hand. ”
"Nonsense, I hurt too. Baeja said calmly, glaring at Hank.
Hank seemed to have long expected what his somewhat crazy teacher wanted to do, and the wicker in his hand had already condensed in his hand. He walked to Yang Haohui's side, the wicker stretched out to wrap around Yang Haohui's injured finger, and after dozens of seconds, he released it again, and Yang Haohui's finger had recovered as before.
"That's feature refinement. Hank should have told you that his 'wicker' is not a refinement, but just a visual effect when the meta-technique is released, and he is a characteristic type. ”
"I understand. Yang Haohui nodded, now thinking about Hank's wicker is transparent and unreal, like an image projected by a projector.
"It's good to understand, then I'll continue. "If you cut down a tree, it will grow again in a few years, right? Because plants in nature have the 'properties' of regenerating, growing, and healing." As an elementalist who can directly manipulate the elements, he can naturally also use these characteristics to construct meta-skills, and what he used to help you heal just now is the 'self-healing' characteristic that Mu Yuan can have. ”
Yang Haohui rubbed his fingers, his face thoughtful.
"Actually, it's easy to understand, and you can explain it well with your mode switch. Bacardi saw Yang Haohui's doubts, "You can become seven different modes, right, and in the seven modes have different abilities in turn, your water mode has the 'disembotype' of water, the fire mode has the 'burst' of fire, and the earth mode has the 'hardness' of earth, these are all meta-techniques that have been refined and evolved into characteristics." Of course, as with material refining, knowledge of properties is required. Because it is a meta-technique that is structured from the level of characteristics, this meta-skill often has many special effects and is also powerful. Of course, it is rarer and more difficult to learn than material refining. ”
"Got it. "Yang Haohui seems to understand whether he understands or not, but he feels a little inconsistent, and he always feels like he is in a physics class.
If you look at it according to Bacardi's thinking, the reason why the pattern shift can be learned is because he has learned some knowledge about light, about the food chain.
The food chain is formed because sunlight is absorbed by plants, herbivores are eaten, herbivores are eaten by carnivorous organisms, and carnivorous organisms are eaten by humans. But no matter how energy flows in the food chain, the initial source is actually light, so Yang Haohui 'understands' that 'light is the source of energy for all elements', and this knowledge corresponds to the refinement of the characteristics of the schema transformation, so he can learn the schema transformation.
It's no wonder that the light element has the ability to use all the other seven elemental energy, and the color of the light is made up of the seven primary colors, which is exactly the same as the color of the light element.
It is no wonder that he can learn a meta-technique in less than the first order, because he has a knowledge reserve that far exceeds that of children of the same age....... Damn, what the teacher said is really right, it's really important to study hard, otherwise you won't even be able to fight in the Tianyuan Realm!
"I'm a light element energy, and I'm also an 'energy-type' element, so it's more suitable for learning characteristics to refine?"
"That's it, your schema transformation should be classified as characteristic refinement," Bacardi nodded, "The most important thing in learning meta-techniques is 'understanding', understanding the material composition of elements, understanding the characteristics and principles of elements, and understanding everything about elements. ”
Bacardi flipped to the last few pages of The Fundamentals of the Elements, and a complex table resembling the periodic table came into view, "This is a list of the properties of the seven elemental energies, and there are 110 refinements of the properties of each element that are currently known." From the No. 1 trait to the No. 110 trait, the more you go down, the stronger the refinement effect. As with material refining, the knowledge of properties also requires a lot of time to understand and learn. Therefore, the average elementalist will look for two or three of them to focus on learning. Although it is a pity that there is no introduction to the characteristics of light element energy, it is not a bad thing to have time to read it and learn more. ”
"I'll do my best. Yang Haohui nodded, "Then according to the previous statement, I should be regarded as a 'Characteristic Elementalist'?"
"It's not appropriate. Bacardi shook his head, "You can easily make extractions when you're using Mode Shifts, right?"
"Seeming so. At this point, Yang Haohui remembered that when he explained his ability before, it seemed that he could also refine the substance, and this is how the hand washing water when he was fighting flies this morning came.
"If you divide the ten elementals into a stack, the ratio is roughly six material types, three characteristic types, and one is like you, double refining type. Bacardi paused, "Material-type elementalists can only learn material refining, and characteristic-type elementalists can only learn characteristic refining, but the dual refining type is the most special, and can master both kinds of refining at the same time, of course, the number of elementalists of this type is scarce." Although you are currently too low and only have one trait refinement, mode transformation, since you can also craft refinements, it is enough to prove that you also have the ability to master material refinement, which is exactly what I said earlier, you are a very talented child. ”
Yang Haohui stared at his palm, and the light in his palm distorted slightly with his thoughts: "What you said should be right."
"That's what it means, you're a fast learner. Bacardi said with a dry mouth, and casually picked a leaf from the vine next to him and chewed it, "Now if you want to talk about the Hijri Tribulation, it has something to do with your learning of Yuan Technique." The tribulation and the meta-technique are divided into two situations, the body tribulation and the heart tribulation. The body tribulation is to directly break through the trick points in Langluo and successfully ascend. You don't need to memorize this simplicity, what you need to care about is the heart calamity. This is rare, and the Elementalist will fall into an illusion during the process of ascending, and most of the illusions are your own real experiences or psychological trauma. ”
"Wouldn't it be very unlucky to run into a heart calamity, it sounds like a lot of heart calamity. Yang Haohui said.
"Don't be stupid, the Heart Tribulation is what most elementalists aspire to encounter. Bacardi shook his head, "Experiencing the success of the Heart Tribulation, not only can you be upgraded, but you can also learn a meta-technique on your own, and experiencing a Heart Tribulation can save the Elementalist a lot of extra time for learning." ”
"Understood. That being said, Yang Haohui still didn't want to encounter the heart calamity. However, he considers himself to be an optimistic person, and there is no special psychological trauma.
"What about Yuanwu, awakened?" Bacardi asked again.
"Yes, it looks like a big sword, but it's so heavy that I can't pick it up. I won't take it out and show it to you, it's easy to smash things. ”
"Sword ....... It's also a motoku that's suitable for fighting. Bacardi muttered to himself.
"I was also about to ask you, if the elementalist can't use his own Yuan Martial Arts, will this happen?" Yang Haohui asked.
"You have a lot of special circumstances. Bacardi scratched his unkempt hair, "Say more and say less, but you don't have to worry about this matter, after you are in the second order, you can 'give a name' to your Yuanwu, that is, to give your Yuanwu a name." Once Yuanwu has a name, his compatibility with the Elementalist will skyrocket, and you should be able to use your greatsword at that time. ”
"Speaking of ranks, have you been through the tribulation?"
"Like...... Nor did it. Yang Haohui didn't understand what the so-called tribulation was.
"Take a test. Bacardi touched the pocket of his robe and threw Yang Haohui a transparent crystal ball, "The Measuring Stone, the one that tests the energy of the element, controls the energy of the light element to be injected." ”
Yang Haohui did so, and the crystal ball flickered slightly, and a moment later a spot of light the size of a bean grain lit up in the center.
Bacardi stared at the light spot and was stunned: "It's not even a first-order ......."
"Uh...... It's only been three days since I woke up, and I haven't practiced much yet. Yang Haohui handed the crystal ball back, a little embarrassed. According to the Heavenly Yuan Realm, the first order should be the weakest level, but as a result, he hasn't even reached the first order.
"But as long as the awakening of ordinary people is successful, the initial rank will be the first order....... No, this is strange, there is no first order, that is, there has not been a tribulation, how can there be characteristics refined....... What meta-techniques have you practiced yourself?" asked Bacardi.
"Nope. "Yang Haohui really hasn't been exposed to other meta-techniques other than mode conversion so far.
"But it's not bad, kid, your talent is still the same unparalleled, what is lacking is just a little exercise. ”
Bacardi drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp and wiped his mouth: "Yuan Neng, the basic theories of Yuan Technique and Yuan Wu are so much, go back and read and review by yourself." Let's talk about the most important thing, the University Palace, have you chosen it?"
Yang Haohui shook his head: "Listen to you, aren't you here for this? ”
"Clever. Bacardi expressed his appreciation, "Dream Soul Academy, have you heard of it?"
Hearing this name, Yang Haohui was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "You mean, the number one guard training palace in the Tianyuan Realm?"
It's like every college entrance examination candidate who is about to fill in the application will check their favorite university over and over again, but no matter which school they like, people will subconsciously glance at the one that ranks first. Yang Haohui has been looking through the relevant books of the University Palace in the past few days, no matter which one it is, the first name is this Dream Soul Palace.
"Oh, roar, roar, roar. Bacardi laughed heartily, "It seems that our school palace is very famous." ”
"Our school palace?"
Bacardi took out a crumpled piece of torn paper and threw it to Yang Haohui with a proud face, Yang Haohui opened it and saw that it seemed to be a certificate of merit, with a few big characters written on the paper.
- Awarded the title of Vice-Chancellor of Dream Soul Academy, Mr. Bacardi Volga, a lifelong university researcher in metatechnology theory
"Alas?!"
Yang Haohui was a little stupid for a while, his original intention was to ask Bacardi for some information about the profession of guard, and then find the University Palace exam by himself. Who knew that in just a few seconds, the problem of enrollment and employment would be solved.
"Aren't you a pedant of meta-technology theory?" he shook the certificate in his hand.
"Oh, that's just part-time. Bacardi said lightly.
He raised his eyes to look at the messy old man in front of him, with small flowers tied to his beard, and deeply felt that this sentence was really reasonable.
"Our school palace is located in the central area of the West Metaverse Vidiana Province, covering an area of 3,600 acres. The surrounding mountain city is surrounded by developed commerce, beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. When you graduate from the Guards, you will start at least the sixth order, including job assignments and recommendations, which is the best choice for your university palace. Bacardi squinted and smiled, in the tone of a financial street lobbyist, and took out a stack of photos from a drawer and placed them on the table.
Yang Haohui took out a few photos and looked at them, and they were all luxury buildings in the medieval style, gorgeous and elegant, and some even had large buildings in the form of manor castles.
"You see, this is our library, this is the training ground, this is the playground, this is the artificial lake in this school palace, this is the female students who are swimming in it....... Yes...... Don't look at this one. Bacardi hurriedly put away the last photo and coughed, "All in all, Yang Haohui, as the vice principal of the Dream Soul Academy, I officially invite you to join our Academy to study. ”
"You've said that, what else can I say?" Although there was a sense of unreality that happiness came too suddenly, Yang Haohui still replied very decisively, anyway, there is no better choice now, "Are there any conditions?"
"There's one thing I want you to do when you're getting stronger in the future. Bacardi held out a finger.
"What?" Yang Haohui was puzzled.
"Save the world. Bacardi said word for word.
It's this kind of unexplained secondary language again...... Yang Haohui wanted to vomit, but looking at Bacard's serious gaze, he still nodded.
"Understood, I'm joining. "Anyway, it's not a difficult condition to answer, he has the right to coax this old urchin.
"It's an enrollment agreement. Bacardi pushed over a parchment document and a jar of ink, obviously prepared, "Don't worry, there are no black intentions, I have completed the rest of the formalities, you can draw a pledge." ”
Out of caution, Yang Haohui still read the admission agreement step by step, and pressed his handprint after confirming that it was correct.
Bacardi put away the documents with satisfaction, and pushed the flower pot used for the experiment on the table in front of Yang Haohui: "Then as an entrance gift, do you want to try this?"
"You mean raising vines?" Yang Haohui was puzzled.
"No, no, no, it's a flower divination. Bacardi stroked his beard and said a little sneeringly, "This is the old man's unique skill, the trick of divination with flowers, everyone's heart is actually a different flower branch, and different flowers will bloom." Don't you want to try it?"
"It feels funny, excuse me. To be honest, Yang Haohui is not interested, but the elder still understands it.
Bacardi instructed Yang Haohui to stretch out his index finger and insert it into the soil, slowly inputting a little yuan energy. After a while, a small bulge protrudes from the soil, and the bulge rises and falls, and a certain flower is waiting to be released.
Finally, the flowers broke through the ground.
"Oh roar, blue enchantress, pure love and kindness, good flowers, good flowers. Bacardi was amazed.
Yang Haohui looked at the small flowers in the pot in a daze, and actually smiled rarely, his smile was a little bitter. Not because of its beautiful flower language, but because he remembered memories about this flower that were not very good.
Bacardi stretched his waist and waved his hand at Yang Haohui: "Okay, then the old man has explained all the matters, you go back first, don't disturb the old man's experiment." By the way, little Hank, you stay for a while, I have something to say to you. ”
Yang Haohui nodded, said thank you, and picked up the "Elemental Foundation Theory" and was about to go out. Walking to the door, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Grandpa Bacardi, one last thing." I just heard you say, 'Holy Pillar' or something......"
A loud bang that resounded in the depths of his mind cut off his words, as if facing a mountain flood and tsunami, and the invisible but real power rushed to his face. For a moment, Yang Haohui even forgot how to breathe. The brain went blank for a moment, and the only thing I could feel was a surging pressure that pierced the eyebrows.
The terrifying pressure disappeared in a flash, and Yang Haohui sat down on the ground in a daze, and it took a few seconds for cold sweat to seep out of his pores like rain.
This is the ninth order.
This is the first time that Yang Haohui really feels the so-called "powerful" in this world. didn't do anything, just the momentum, and it became a luxury for me to even move my fingers.
Bacardi still sat on the chair so lightly, he didn't even change his posture, but his expression was unprecedentedly grim: "Little guy, I also forgot to say, if you want to live longer, don't mention these two words in front of anyone." Remember, it's anyone. ”
Yang Haohui didn't dare to ask anything more, and hurriedly left.
Listening to Yang Haohui's footsteps getting farther and farther, Hank couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Teacher, Xiaohui is still a child. You're freaking him out. ”
"He's so much better than you. Bacardi snapped his nose and began to fiddle with the test tubes on the table again. At this moment, he turned back into the old man who was between neuropathy and mentally retarded, "I just reminded him not to talk nonsense." ”
"What do you think, this kid?" asked Bacardi after a moment.
"Xiaohui is a good boy, very polite, very mature, very calm, very strong and talented. Indeed, you are right, he is more ....... than I am Much stronger. Hank clenched his fists slightly.
"Envious?"
"Hmm. ”
"Alas......." Bacardi sighed, "I haven't seen you for so long, and you still haven't let go of your knot?"
"When the manpower is finally exhausted, I have already seen the teacher. Hank sighed as well.
"You........" Bacardi didn't say anything more, just changed the subject, "The bald man misses you very much, go back and have a look when you have time, and take Eckel and Xiao Jiu with them."
"Got it. Hank nodded.
"The commotion made when this kid woke up was too big, Zhang Siyu will solve it on his side, and the villagers of Noldra will trouble you to lie and fool around. There aren't many elemental masters here, and there shouldn't be anyone who knows the light element energy. ”
Hank nodded again.
"Alright, let's go. When I went back, I told the boy that he would get up early tomorrow morning, and the old man would give him special training. At this child's current level, there is no chance of passing the entrance exam. ”
"I'll tell him. With that, Hank went out as well.
The room fell silent for a moment, and Bacardi took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and the smoke gradually diffused with his breathing. He looked at the blue enchantress quietly blooming in the flower pot in front of him, and his eyes showed a little thoughtfulness.
He actually has too many things to say, such as he actually knows what Guang Yuan Neng, this talent that can be called against the sky really means. For another example, his real purpose in recruiting Yang Haohui is not just to simply cherish talents. Or, in fact, the flowers of flower divination are not blue enchantresses at all.
This world, the Tianyuan Realm. It's too cruel and complicated, even if he lives for so long, he can't see through it.
The blue enchantress withered in the smoke, among the fallen flowers and leaves. The plain white flowers swayed slightly, beautiful, bewitching, and dangerous.
It was a poppy – a flower that represented self-destruction.
To be continued......
