Chapter 8 Absolute Control
I don't know how long later, Liu Ye woke up on the bed in his room, and Ouyang Gu was leaning against the wardrobe next to him with one hand in his trouser pocket reading a book.
"Yo, you're awake. Seeing Liu Ye sit up, Ouyang Gu put down the book and said.
"Hmm-" Liu Ye touched his spine, feeling no different from before, "How long have I been asleep." β
"Almost three days. Ouyang Gu spoke with a smile, Liu Ye didn't know if he was sympathetic or ridiculed, "For people who rely on rituals to forcibly open the source of magic power, it is considered a normal level. β
"Normal level...... Liu Ye felt that Ouyang Gu seemed to have something to say, listening to him, it seemed that there was more than one way?
"Hahaha, that's right, there are other ways to open the source of magic. Ouyang Gu laughed, looking cheap, "The most commonly used one is that a magician who has been practicing for many years dredges the channel for the newcomer, Shi Lan is dredged by her parents for her, compared to you who relies on external forces to forcibly punch holes, the pain is much less." β
Liu Ye smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.
"Eh, you're awake!" Shilan pushed open the door and walked in, sitting down on the edge of the bed with a tray of small bowls, "You've been in a coma for several nights, and you were so pale that you scared me to death." β
"You're embarrassed to say it......" Liu Ye glanced at her, and his gaze moved to the tray in Shi Lan's hand, "What is this?"
"Egg custard, I made it!" Shi Lan patted her chest proudly and put the small bowl into Liu Ye's hand, "It's just done, it's still hot." β
"What did you do? why?" Liu Ye looked at Mu Shilan with a complicated mood, he didn't know what to say, he hadn't been home for several years, and he was a friend of Chen Siyun in Boyun City, and no one had ever cooked food for him for a long time.
"What, why, why do you need why?" Mu Shilan blinked, her long eyelashes trembling, "Do you need a reason to help others?"
"Don't you need a reason...... Liu Ye lowered his head, "But you don't know when I will wake up, how can it be so coincidental that I just made it?"
"What's this, I do it every day, I can't eat it myself if you don't wake up." Hey, do you suspect that I deliberately let you sleep for three days? Shi Lan stood up angrily and stretched out a hand towards Liu Ye. "If you don't eat it, I'll take it away if you don't eat it. β
"Eat, eat, eat, of course. Liu Ye drank the egg custard in the bowl in one gulp, and he didn't even use a spoon.
"Ahem, ahem, whoa-" Liu Ye stuck out his tongue and gasped, "It's so hot." β
"Hmph. Shi Lan snorted lightly, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and didn't look at him, "It looks like you should be fine, continue to practice in the afternoon, don't be lazy!"
Ouyang Gu looked at the two of them noisy, shook his head with a smile, did not speak, and only continued to read his book.
In the afternoon, the ashram.
Just like three days ago, Liu Ye sat cross-legged in the middle of the magic array again, while Shi Lan was rummaging through the bookshelves for the books she wanted to use next.
"Hey, I found it," Shilan opened a book and walked over, "I'm in Phase 4 this afternoon, Magic Control." Liu Ye, you first feel the magic in your body. β
"Magic?" Liu Ye closed his eyes, bursts of warm warmth were constantly emanating from his spine, is this magic?
"Now, you try to channel the magic into your hands, and then write down the basic runes you learned before, this may be a bit difficult, you need to be prepared to fail, it took me a long time to succeed. If something gets out of control and rushes into the internal organs, it hurts for a long time. Come, one, two, take a deep breath. β
"Hehehe......" Liu Ye's face began to twitch, this unreliable girl is estimated to have her own hardships to eat next.
However, reality did not develop as Shilan expected, on the contrary, she was shocked by what she saw.
Liu Ye's right fingertips were slowly oozing out soft white light, his breathing entered a wonderful rhythm, and each stroke seemed to resonate with the environment, and then he raised his hand and wrote the flame foundation rune in front of him with the white light, and when the last stroke fell, all the light was suddenly collected into the stroke, and the rune suddenly ignited a raging flame!
"It's ......" Shilan's dark eyes reflected the fire, and she couldn't believe that a beginner could control her magic so perfectly without relying on a wand.
Liu Ye really didn't know anything about what was going on in the outside world, all his attention was on the flow of magic in his body, this sense of control was something he had never experienced, unlike physical exercise, which strengthened muscles bit by bit, magic control was more like using breathing to get air in and out of the lungs. The magic gradually flowed from the spine to the tips of the fingers as the mind guided it, as if a fine stream of water flowed through the body, tickling. When the magic reaches the fingertips, it feels like there are filaments wrapped around the fingers, slightly tingling.
Mu Shilan leaned against the door of the quiet room, staring at Liu Ye, who was completely immersed in her own world. He closed his eyes and wrote the basic runes he had learned three days ago by his side, one after another, Liu Ye's magic power perfectly activated these arrays, without the slightest leakage, fire, water, wind, wood, earth, metal, electricity...... Colorful balls of light floated around Liu Ye, and at this moment he was like a king of magic.
Liu Ye still didn't realize what a big impact his actions had on Shi Lan, he gradually became obsessed with this kind of delicate control, I don't know why, guiding the magic is not as difficult as Shi Lan said, on the contrary, as long as a thought, the magic will obediently flow to the place where it should go, which is simpler than playing RPG games to control the movement of the character in the past. Like writing, he kept writing the basic runes that Shi Lan had taught him before, fire, wind, and water...... When he wrote about space, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
This one seems to be, it shouldn't be like this.
No, it's all wrong, there are problems with every basic rune, the second stroke of "Fire", the last stroke of "Wind", and the seventh stroke of "Spirit...... No, it's not wrong, it's just, it's ...... There should be a better way to write it.
His brows were tightly locked, and Liu Ye's mind was a little confused.
Subconsciously, he wanted to write down another way of writing that came to his mind.
But when he lifted his finger, he hesitated again. Once the wrong array is portrayed, the consequences of losing control of the magic power have been repeatedly emphasized to him by Shi Lan a few days ago, hurting himself is considered to be self-retribution, but if he hurts Mu Shilan, it is not good.
And, even if you're right, you shouldn't practice it here.
Although Yan Heling shouldn't be staring at this place all the time, if he knew about modifying the basic runes, I am afraid it would evolve into a problem that was difficult to explain.
Thinking of this, he lowered his hand.
"Whew-" With a long sigh, he opened his eyes, lost his mana supply, and all the runes around him dispersed in an instant.
"Hey, Shilan, what are you thinking?" Liu Ye walked up to Shilan and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of her eyes.
"Oh. Shi Lan patted her dress and stood up, ran to the bookshelf and began to look for books again.
"Mentor, why do you wander every day~"
Shi Lan rarely did not fight back, but continued to search for information seriously.
"What's wrong?" Liu Ye walked up to Shi Lan.
"Found it, well, 'absolute control'. Shi Lan's slender fingers pressed on the yellowed paper of the ancient book, and Liu Ye glanced at it, which was full of dense English.
"Liu Ye, do you know what you just did?" Putting down the book in her hand, Mu Shilan looked at Liu Ye with a resentful expression and said.
"Eh, what did I do?" Liu Ye looked at his hands suspiciously.
This, what kind of expression did she have...... Could it be that he had just done something to her in an unconscious state?
"Yes, I'm sorry! I'll be responsible!" Liu Ye lowered his head and said sincerely.
"Stupid, what are you thinking!" Shi Lan slapped the book in her hand heavily on Liu Ye's head, "Your performance in magic manipulation just now is far beyond the level of ordinary beginners in magic, and is close to, and even comparable to a magician like me who has been practicing for more than ten years." I've never seen anything like this, so that's why I need to look it up. β
"Eh, what's going on here?" Liu Ye touched his hair in embarrassment.
Shi Lan put the book back on the shelf, turned to look into Liu Ye's eyes and said seriously: "This situation is called 'absolute control', it is an extremely rare talent, people with this kind of talent have precise control of magic power is as simple as eating and drinking, those incomparably complex high-level magic are no different from basic magic in their eyes, for them, the only difficulty is probably to create a spell, create the original text of the magic book." In the entire history of magic, only nine people have been recorded to have this ability, and all of them have become famous archmages. Before you, the last known person to possess this talent was Mark M. Watson, the current president of the European Federation of Wizards and the most gifted magician of the century. And you, Liu Ye, have now become the tenth person with this talent, the tenth peerless genius who is jealous of all magicians. β
"Eh-" The amount of information contained in Shi Lan's words was too great, and Liu Ye couldn't react for a while, and his expression was still at the stage of touching his head in embarrassment.
"Hey, what do you think?" Shi Lan crossed her hands on her hips and tilted her head to look at him.
"Uh-"
"Heyβ"
"Ahem, that, we're here today, right? Liu Ye said.
"Hmph, genius also needs to work hard!" Shilan sniffed, "Then let's stop here." However, you have such a talent, the basic training in the later stages can be omitted, and tomorrow I will directly teach you more advanced magic. β
After speaking, Shi Lan opened the door of the quiet room and walked out, Liu Ye thought slightly, took down the ancient book that Shi Lan had just turned over from the bookshelf, and returned to his room.
