"Meditation has a very important position in the mage plane in ancient times, as we all know, spiritual power is the power of the soul, the soul is the foundation of most mages to carry magic power, in that era, due to the fierce infighting among mages, there is almost no progress in the study of knowledge, magic is not innovative, the power of magic often depends on the total amount of mage's spiritual power, so meditation has become the core secret of every mage. ”

James glanced down at the information, and then continued: "In ancient times, a meditation method was a school of mages, and mages carefully practiced according to the meditation method, and very few people tried to innovate. This also led to the fact that the Ancient Mage was extremely weak, and if I were to divide it by the standards of that time, I was already a full-fledged mage. ”

"In the age of civilization, this situation has changed dramatically, the old backward meditation methods have been completely overthrown, when the mages tried to innovate, and were good at innovation, meditation methods diluted the school of thought, and everyone's meditation methods were almost different. ”

After James finished his introduction, he took out the substance, he tapped on the podium, and a light rose, in which no energy fluctuations were felt, it should be an alchemical product similar to a 3D projector.

Sure enough, a set of nine runes came out of the light.

James stepped aside, pointed to the first of the rune group and said to the apprentices, "Before you came to the academy, you should have successfully constructed a spiritual power solidification rune, which is this. ”

The apprentices all nodded.

"It, along with the other eight runes, together form the foundation of all meditation methods in the mage plane, the first element of the Holy Tower is free and open to all mages, and the most universal meditation method created by the Prometheus True Spirit Archmage in the apprenticeship stage. ”

James manipulated the light curtain, and the nine runes were combined in order, from a single flat structure to a slightly more complex three-dimensional structure, which looked a bit like a page of armor?

"This meditation method is now called the Basic Meditation Method, but it was previously known by another name—Prometheus' Mage Armor. Its function is to build a set of armor outside the soul, and after each successful construction of a complete rune group, you can add a page of armor, when the armor completely wraps the soul, this set of meditation methods is preliminarily completed, and the next practice is to make the armor more and more fine, more and more natural. This kind of cultivation has no level and no limit, and even the True Spirit Archmages are still continuing. ”

"The biggest advantage of the Basic Meditation Method is compatibility, when you accumulate more and more knowledge, and have your own unique spiritual power solidification rune group, you can transform it without any adverse reactions. ”

"Because of its age, its main role now is to familiarize apprentices with rune building. But don't underestimate it, the reason why mages can resist the pressure of time travel and the rejection of the will of the other-dimensional world to carry out dimensional wars, and why they are not afraid of curses like in ancient times, is because of the invention of the basic meditation method. Whatever knowledge you use to create your own meditation method in the future, you must form the Mage's Armor according to its ideas. ”

"It can be said that the Mage's Armor is the cornerstone of Mage civilization. ”

Adam remembered the form of these nine runes, and he couldn't help but admire the inventor of this meditation method, the True Spirit Archmage of Prometheus, and what a great wisdom it was to forge the path of civilization in the midst of blue wisps and barbaric ignorance.

James paused slightly, waiting for the apprentices to digest the information just now, and spoke again after ten minutes: "The first year of the rune knowledge course is mainly to guide you to build your own meditation method, I will not provide you with directions, and there is no homework, if there is a problem with the runes you build yourself, you can choose to consult me, of course, I will give you some help in terms of stability at most." ”

"Each of you has one chance per month to apply for mentorship for free, which means that there is a fee if you apply more than once. ”

James finally said, "The rune knowledge course is only one session a week, but the optical projection will remain here, do you have any requests for individual instruction?"

James just asked as usual, and he didn't think anything could be wrong with this group of rookies, who were mostly new to the Mage's Armor meditation method.

However, Adam was no longer among them, and in the course of the lecture, he had managed to construct a few pages of 'nail tablets' perfectly, and he was now very interested in another important message from James's words, so he did not hesitate to use the only free consultation opportunity of the month.

"I apply for individual mentoring, Mr. James. Adam stood up and said.

"Are you sure?" James looked at Adam suspiciously, he thought that Adam was so grandstanding that he hadn't even tried the most basic builds, so where was the problem?

Not just James, almost everyone thought so, and they unabashedly let out strange noises of disdain and looked at Adam with disdain.

The desert island people exchanged ears, and Randy said to everyone, "Look, life on the ship has made him arrogant and stupid, and sooner or later he will pay for it." ”

Ophelia frowned, although she and Adam did not agree on the concept, but after all, they had known each other for a long time, and they came to the Mage Continent together, she didn't want Adam to bury her future because of arrogance.

Perhaps the only one present who believed that Adam really had a question to ask was Krystel, who stopped talking to her comrades sitting together, but said nothing.

"Yes, I'm sure. Adam ignored all the talk and said to James.

"Alright, come with me. James had no reason to refuse, he was tasked with teaching, and after a year he could get a fairly good pay, and the collision of ideas with a large number of apprentices in the course of teaching and solving puzzles would also be of great benefit to his own path as a mage.

"Of course, stupid questions are an exception. James thought to himself, and he had made up his mind that if Adam asked any stupid question, he would make it public, not to humiliate Adam, but to hope that the other apprentices would not waste his time.

Leaving the classroom, Adam followed James to another building, where James had his own laboratory, and after the two entered, James motioned for Adam to sit down at will, and then asked, "So, now you can tell me your question." ”

The mage's time is precious, and there is very little superfluous nonsense in the communication, which is also the same as Adam's style, so he has no politeness and directly says, "What is the method of constructing meditation with your own knowledge?"

James was a little surprised, "It's not stupid, but it's not something you need to know at this stage, you know, you haven't even succeeded in building a foundational meditation method. ”

Adam knew that any explanation was not as intuitive as action, so he directly penetrated the spiritual power out of his body, constructed a complete page of armor, and incorporated it into his body.

At this moment, James was stunned, it was not as easy as Adam to materialize his spiritual power and construct a rune group outside his body, which was not even possible for many senior apprentices who were not good at spiritual power, but now there was actually a rookie who did this kind of thing in front of him?

He jumped up from his seat, stared at Adam and asked, "How long did it take you to fill the crystal ball during the qualification test?"

Adam didn't know what he meant by asking, but Adam sensed the urgency in James's words, but it wasn't something to be kept secret, and Adam didn't mean to hide it.

Before Adam could speak, James slapped his head and turned to walk towards another room, then quickly walked back with a crystal ball in his hand: "Come on, try it!"

Adam looked at him inexplicably and didn't speak, and James explained, "Don't worry, not only will it not hurt you, but it may also be of great good." Try it, just like you did. ”

Adam did not suspect James, and according to the basic principles of openness and fairness of the mages, and the surprisingly upheld spirit of contract, he believed that James would not harm him.

Adam put his hands on the crystal ball, and unlike during the qualification test, this crystal ball did not require him to actively input mental power, but instead generated a faint suction force that introduced spiritual power into it.

Still lit up instantly, the light was even brighter than it had been then, and Adam noticed that there was a numerical display on the surface of the crystal ball, which kept climbing and finally stuck at 100+.

James's gaze kept sweeping between Adam and the crystal ball, and his mouth was full of excitement: "Okay, you can stop, it's amazing, it's amazing!"

Adam let go, and then said, "Mr. James, what is this?"

James came back to his senses and looked at Adam as if he were looking at a rare treasure, and he said in a slightly sharper tone, "100+, my God, I can't believe it, do you know what that means?"

Adam was calm: "Sir, apparently I don't know. ”

James picked up the crystal ball: "This thing is an advanced product of the talent tester, its function is to accurately observe the total amount of spiritual power, the value of each unit represents the initial total amount of spiritual power of an apprentice with the most basic mage qualifications, its detection limit is one hundred, my God, praise all the great true spirit mages, praise the mage world, you actually have more than its upper limit of initial spiritual power!

After hearing James's introduction, Adam was not surprised, if spiritual power is the power of the soul, then he had destroyed ten billion souls before, even if the quality of each soul was far from being comparable to the human beings in the mage world, even if each one was only a trace that was too weak to be absorbed by him, but after multiplying the value of ten billion, it would accumulate into an astonishing total.
