The next day, Wright got up early, had breakfast, and took advantage of the opening time of the academy in the morning to leave the academy and get on the morning carriage to the imperial capital.

No. 31 Blackwater Street, West District of the Imperial Capital, the retreat of Cromwell, the Magister of the Sanctuary.

Seeing the teacher for the second time, Wright still had a sense of unreality, he was really a disciple of a powerhouse in the Holy Domain?

However, Cromwell Holy Magister didn't say much, and after letting Wright sit down, he began to explain magic straightforwardly.

"Before learning magic, let me ask a question: what exactly is magic? Wright, you've been studying magic for four or five years, so let's talk about your own perception first. ”

"Well, teacher, the textbook says that magic is the power of human beings using the magic elements between heaven and earth to transform them into the power that acts on reality!"

"Of course, the standard textbook-style answer can't be said to be wrong, after all, I made up that book."

“。。。。。。”

"Haha, let's get down to business. What exactly is magic, the answer in that textbook is just a normative answer. Different people think differently for different people. ”

"Some people see magic as a means to gain power, money, power, and even favor with the opposite sex, and that's not wrong, but it's a bit of a misconception."

"Some people see magic as a continuation of wisdom, and think that those who are strong in magic must be very wise. In many literary works, the magician is full of wisdom, and the white-haired old man is like this. However, I have also seen many fools who are not weak in magic, but only have power in their heads. ”

"Wright, tell me with your instincts, what exactly is magic?" Cromwell's words had a hint of spiritual power in them, which made Wright involuntarily speak.

Suddenly, Wright seemed to return to the excitement and thirst for the unknown and the magic of artifacts when he first entered school four years ago.

Back five years ago, when his adoptive father was excited to know that he had a great talent for magic, it was the first time he had seen his adoptive father look so ecstatic.

Six years ago, when I happened to hear that my biological parents were killed, I was powerless and patient, and wanted to take revenge, but I knew that I couldn't do anything, even if I wanted to risk my life but I was worried about the pain of killing my adoptive parents.

I went back to the distant past in a trance, and I returned to my dream, alone against the blood of countless enemies, and I had the intention to kill the thief and shout back to the sky.

A voice came to Wright's mind.

"Magic ... It's power! Wright said to his teacher seriously, his tone extremely serious.

"Oh, magic is power... Cromwell's tone was flat, "What to say! ”

"People live in the world, and they have relatives and friends who need to be protected, and this requires strength."

"When people fight with others, they will always form grudges, and to understand grudges requires strength."

"Whether it's the fighting spirit of a warrior or our magic, it's power! The pursuit of power is not the pursuit of power for the sake of it, and magic is the same. ”

After saying that, a trace of apprehension appeared on Wright's face, I don't know if this answer is satisfactory to the teacher, but this is his true thoughts.

"Nice answer!" Cromwell Holy Magister smiled.

"Actually, it doesn't matter what your answer is."

"Whether you think of magic as wisdom, or whether you think of magic as a tool for gaining power and money. The key is not the answer, but the determination to pursue it! Cromwell chuckled: "This is the same whether you become a magician or a warrior, the same talent, as long as you have the determination to practice to the end, you will definitely go more smoothly." I've seen businessmen who thirst for money and need force to defend their wealth and eventually become warriors in the Sanctuary, and I've seen scholar mages who thirst for wisdom and eventually set foot in the Sanctuary. ”

"This is the first lesson given to you, the determination to practice magic!" Cromwell's Holy Magister's tone changed suddenly, "Of course, you should keep these things in mind first, and the determination to practice magic does not need to be on your lips, but will be implemented in your future practice." ”

"Now, let's start learning magic in earnest!"

"Determination and will aside, what is the most essential need for magical power?"

"Mental power!" Wright felt that this was an objective question for giving points.

"That's right, it's spiritual power!" Cromwell said with some approval, "Mental power can be regarded as the foundation of a magician. The liquefaction of spiritual power means that the magician has stepped into the quasi-seventh level, and the spiritual power is extremely powerful, the soul is manifested, and the life is easy to step into the holy realm. ”

"Of course, it's not just spiritual power, but also the step of refining magical elements to form magical power. However, this is for mages with low talent and elemental affinity at medium or below. There is no student who can enter the Royal Magic Academy with a poor affinity for the elements, and refining the elements only takes some time! ”

"You also know the basic way to improve your mental power, meditation. Consume your own mental power through meditation, and then pass. ”

"The speed at which meditation strengthens your mental power increases with the strength of your own mental power. According to this law, when the spiritual power is 31 times the standard of peers, from the age of 12 to start meditating in a saturated way, about 482 years old, you can step into the holy realm level! ”

"However, there are at least fifty or sixty geniuses with super-superior spiritual power talents every year, but fifty or sixty years may not be able to give birth to a Holy Demon Master!"

"This is because with the improvement of spiritual power, it often touches a barrier that is difficult to improve--- that is, a bottleneck!"

"There are bottlenecks in spiritual power between each level, and the bottlenecks from level nine to the holy realm and level six to seven are the most difficult."

"That's right, it's the bottleneck, those with mediocre talent aside, for any magician who is interested in the Holy Domain, the sixth level to the seventh level, the ninth level to the Holy Domain, the two transformations of spiritual power are the biggest obstacles on the path of the magician's cultivation."

"If I'm not mistaken, the way to break through the bottleneck in the standard textbook in the academy is 'to strengthen your mental power through meditation as much as possible, get close to the limit under the bottleneck, and then go out to wave, cough cough, to practice. Get in touch with mundane life, hunt magical beasts in the Jedi, and sublimate your spiritual power in battle or life'. ”

Wright's admiration for the teacher has increased a little, and he didn't expect the existence of the dignified Sanctuary to be so clear about the textbooks and teaching materials of their students.

"I'm making it up, it's all nonsense."

"Oh。。。。。。。。。。。 Yes?! Wright suddenly felt that his teacher was a little out of tune!

As if he found it interesting to tease his student, Cromwell Holy Magister grinned.

"Although there is a bottleneck in the improvement of spiritual power between each time, for a magician like you who has some talent, the real bottleneck is two, level six to seven, the liquefaction of spiritual power; Level 9 to the Sanctuary, the manifestation of the soul form! ”

"For you now, the Holy Domain is still a bit far away, mainly to talk to you about the step from level six to level seven."

"To raise the spiritual power to the seventh level, the first is to unremittingly improve one's own spiritual power, the stronger the spiritual power, the better it is to break through the bottleneck. In fact, the way to increase mental power is not limited to meditation. After reaching the bottleneck, you can use other methods to increase your mental power! For example, I know an Earth Holy Magister who is good at improving his spiritual power by carving statues, and my lineage also has the cultivation method of manipulating flames and visualizing flames. ”

"When the spiritual power is raised to the point that it can no longer be improved, it is completely full before the current realm, the richer the accumulation, and finally the total amount of spiritual power exceeds the seventh-level threshold, and it is natural to easily become a seventh-level magician."

"Either way, it is to rely on the instantaneous stimulation, such as the line of life and death in the battle, in a certain understanding, the spiritual power will increase instantly, breaking through to the seventh level, once the breakthrough occurs, the spiritual power will be transformed, and it will also stabilize, and then the total amount of spiritual power will naturally be very fast."

"Of course, it's more of a two-pronged approach, the stronger the mental power, the easier it is to break through with the second method."

"Of course, this is a breakthrough method from level six to seven! It's also the closest you need. ”

"As for the ninth-level breakthrough to the Holy Domain, I will mention it slightly, the key is 'perception'!"

"Feelings?" Wright was stunned, this answer was still a little surprising to him.
