Chapter 38: What is the Soul?
"Brother, let's get out of school, the teacher is here." Zhang Fan raised his head in front of him.
At this time, Qin Liang realized that class had already begun, and a teacher with gray hair was already standing on the podium and preparing to give a lecture. At the same time, the originally empty classroom was already full, and at the same time, there were some students standing at the back of the classroom.
"What kind of class is this, and why is it so popular?" Qin Liang asked in surprise.
You know, even at Yenching University, classrooms are usually not full. When attendance is at its highest, if there are no essential activities and there are no absences, it is not called university life.
And like all the seats in front of me are full, and there are even so many people standing in the back. This is only the case when some famous professors start their classes from time to time.
"It's Professor Mullen's class, and Professor Mullen is a master runemaster. Although his strength is only at the master level, even some grandmaster-level rune masters are admired by his theoretical research. The Eagle Eye Talisman template he is using now is the result of his old man's three times of research and streamlining. Eliminating the original complicated and useless rune lines, allowing the outline of the Eagle Eye Talisman can not only save one-third of the time, but also increase the power by more than two percent compared to before. Zhang Fan had a look of adoration on his face.
"So powerful?" Qin Liang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Qin Liang, a master-level rune master, knew what kind of strength it was, and he also had a concept of a grandmaster-level rune master. However, streamlining the existing runes, removing the useless lines in them, shortening the time it takes to carve, and increasing its power. It seems to be just a basic eagle eye talisman, but it is not something that ordinary people can do.
This is just like in the past, when science and technology were not developed, people wanted to cross the mountain, they could only climb the mountain, and even spend time and effort to build a winding mountain road, circle by circle, and then circle down. Mullen's approach is to dig a tunnel directly into traffic, which is absolutely leading-edge technology.
"And that's just a part, there's more. You must know that Professor Mullen is the Taishan Beidou of the rune world. Our rune department at Yenching University is because of his existence. It's so famous in the rune department of the World University. Now the soul resonance of energy resonance is further proposed, which is proposed by Professor Mullen. It is now the number one research topic in many of the world's top rune research laboratories. Ling Jing also added with a look of adoration.
"It's amazing." Qin Liang couldn't help but nodded with some reverence. At the same time, the eyes of the old man, who was not tall and even a little rickety, stood on the podium, and became adored.
Among the many spells of the undead, the ones that can be related to the soul are much more powerful than ordinary spells. Even some ultimate forbidden spells are actually a kind of resonance between the soul and the energy soul, which is definitely the top and most mysterious thing.
It has only been more than 300 years since it has been able to resonate with the current energy, and it is only a time when it is mature and still far from the top. It has been anticipated in advance that after the energy resonance reaches the ultimate, what is the direction of the next stage. This is not just a question to be raised, but an essential transcendence.
Although Mullen is a bit older, his lectures are very funny. And some complex parts can be explained with very simple examples, so the talk is very infectious. People unconsciously follow his words into a vast ocean of knowledge.
"Okay, just now we reviewed the development of energy resonance, as well as some basic theorems. There is no lesson schedule for this class, just a lesson for you to diverge your thinking. Let your minds not be bound by the rules and regulations of books, and free yourself to explore more possibilities. ”
"And then, I want to ask a question. I think all the students here know that I am proposing the topic of soul resonance. And define it as the next stage after the energy resonance has come to an end. I don't know if there are any classmates who can answer me, what is the soul? Students should not have any restraints, they can speak freely, and treat this class as a discussion class. ”
After taking the entire faculty of students soaring through the sea of runes, Mullen asked his own question. Look at the classroom and don't search to see if any of your classmates have raised their hands to speak.
"You can answer this classmate." Mullen said, pointing to a bespectacled male student.
"Hello Professor Mullen. I think the soul is actually a higher level of power. If the power of the body is regarded as the basic energy, then the soul is the energy of the sublimation of the body. Therefore, the mental power is more powerful than the physical strength. It was obviously not the first time that the bespectacled students had discussed such a question, and they answered it with great ease.
"A sublimation of basic strength, not bad. This is also the perception of most people at present. Are there any dissenting opinions? Mullen nodded, pressed his hand and asked the student answering the question to sit down and continue to ask.
Many of the students shook their heads and said they had no different opinions. As Professor Mullen said. What the classmate just answered is exactly the definition that most people agree on now. The further resonance of energy is the resonance of the soul, and the more advanced physical strength is the power of the soul, which is the view accepted by most people at present.
"The student sitting in the back row, who is sitting to the left of the beautiful girl, what do you think of the soul?" Seeing that no one had a different opinion, Mullen asked as if by random name.
"Me?" Qin Ling pointed at himself.
"That's right, it's you, I don't know what your understanding of the soul is?" Maren nodded.
"I think the soul is a will." Qin Liang stood up and said casually.
"Are you kidding this classmate? The will is more ethereal than the soul, isn't it? The bespectacled student who had just answered the question couldn't help but retort.
Many students chimed in. The classroom was noisy, and many of them were attacking and refuting Qin Liang.
Because from the current understanding of the soul and the ethereal will. The will is indeed more ethereal than the soul. Nowadays, it is generally believed that spiritual power represents the soul and is the manifestation of the power of the soul. Therefore, the test of spiritual power is equivalent to the test of the soul. However, there is no way to test specific data for such a thing as will, which makes people feel even more illusory.
"Everybody be quiet. Said it was just a discussion class. Discussion classes are where everyone can come up with their own ideas and then discuss them together. Mullen pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and when the classroom was quiet, he continued: "Okay, this classmate, you go on, why do you think that the soul is a will?" ”
"My understanding is also a bit similar to the inference of the student who answered the question just now." Qin Ling said with a smile.
He was indeed drawn to Professor Mullen's in-depth and concise talk about energy resonance, so he unwittingly joined the discussion.
"Shh......h
There was a burst of mockery in the classroom.
"Yes, go on." Ma Lun nodded and motioned for Qin Liang to continue.
"The classmate just now said that the body is the basic power, and the soul is the sublimation of the foundation. I think that the soul is the carrier of the will, or that the will is the sublimation of the soul. So I think that the soul is the condensation of the will, or the will is the core of the soul, which can be wrapped in the soul, but it is the source of the soul's power. ”
"This is a ridiculous statement, which is tantamount to saying that there is a soul in the human body. And there is another core in the soul. So does that core still have a will of its own? Does it mean that the body is under the command of the soul and the soul is under the command of the will? Doesn't that mean that the will directs the human body? There is no theoretical basis for this at all. One of the students stood up and retorted loudly.
"That's right, that's a bit ridiculous, if you say so, strong-willed people are geniuses. But I've seen strong-willed people who have achieved something about it. But a strong will does not mean a strong soul, and these people have achievements in some areas. But they are all ordinary people, not even junior fighters. And as we all know, the achievements of people with strong souls in runes are a thousand miles a day, and they are not at all comparable to ordinary people who are just strong-willed. ”
"Eun, your theory is too sensational, and it doesn't hold up at all."
A voice of retort rang out in the classroom.
Qin Liang smiled a little embarrassedly, he just explained his understanding of the soul, but he didn't expect to attract the anger of the public.
"Okay, everybody's quiet. This student just put forward his own point of view, and everyone was right to discuss it enthusiastically. However, it cannot be so categorically opposed. Ma Lun raised his hand to silence everyone, but with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, he glanced at Qin Liang and asked him to sit down.
"You can't oppose it absolutely, is it possible that he said it?" Students with quick brains can't help but ask their own questions.
