34. Flying
The road leading to the dormitory was silent, and everyone looked at Adam in horror. They couldn't imagine that an apprentice could do that while they were still complacent about mastering a low-level magic.
"Is he really a new apprentice?"
"What are we compared to such monsters?"
These two sentences are probably the voices of all the onlookers at this time, this blow is like a heavy hammer smashing into their hearts, smashing their self-confidence to the ground.
Adam was not happy at all, it was normal to kill them in seconds, according to his calculations, even if he fought with all the apprentices in this group at the same time, as long as it was not in the open and transparent environment of the dueling arena, Adam was absolutely sure that he would destroy them all.
Adam was not satisfied, the only research he had so far been exposed to that really touched the intellectual level was meditation, and the magic he had just used seemed dazzling, but at best it was only a technical achievement, and anyone could use it as long as it met the requirements.
At this time, there was a violent sound of breaking the air in the distance, which was the sound of an object flying through the sound barrier, and Elliot said, "Don't move, it's the academy enforcers who are coming." ”
As soon as Elliot's words fell, a team of four alchemy golems landed around Adam, quickly checking the surrounding situation, and then a stiff synthesized voice sounded: "It has been detected that the ground in the range is seriously damaged, and there is a breath of life and death, show your identification immediately, otherwise the Moldor Elemental Tower has the right to kill you." ”
Adam raised the token forward, and these four alchemy puppets exuded mysterious energy fluctuations, forming a force field around Adam, and in the force field, Adam felt that the spiritual power was turning into Sui, and the magic power was completely isolated.
"Identification, Apprentice Adam. The damage you cause to the tower will be sent to your dorm in the form of a bill and paid as soon as possible, otherwise the tower will enforce the penalty. ”
The understatement, even child's play, made Adam even more sure that the weak had no value in the eyes of the mage, and that they were more of a moving set of data than human lives.
Adam put away his token, and this time the alchemy golem didn't stop him and let him go. After saying goodbye to Elliot and returning to his dormitory, Adam proceeded to the final stages of the meditation method building.
James and his previous team were all focused on attaching special effects to the Mage's Armor in order to achieve the effect of Soul Tendency. But Adam felt that this direction was wrong, that spiritual power was born from the soul, and that instead of trying to make spiritual power bring special effects, it was better to delve into spiritual power itself.
Adam almost completely rejected James's research direction, focusing only on the nature of mental power and the amount of magic that could be carried. There is nothing to say about the bearing of mana, no matter how strong the spiritual power is, it cannot reach the energy level of the ether, it is absolutely not advisable to blindly pursue the spiritual power and give up the magic power, a feasible meditation method must definitely become a good carrier, which is crucial in the apprenticeship stage.
So, what exactly is the essence of mental power?
To be honest, this problem cannot be explained by Adam's current knowledge, but in this world where the 'black box of technology' exists at any time, not understanding the essence does not affect the creation of technology.
Adam's main direction is the study of the materialization of spiritual power, which is an invisible but qualitative energy, and most of the apprentices only regard this equivalent as a carrier of magical power, but Adam speculates through the means of spiritual transfer that it can have a more powerful way to use it.
According to the broken information in Adam's mind, it can be called telekinetics. According to this world, it should be called spiritual magic.
Adam can't guarantee how powerful this magic is, because he doesn't believe that with the evolution of the mage world for hundreds of millions of years, the wisdom of countless mages will be studied by no one, maybe there is no way to advance by relying on pure spiritual power, maybe at a higher level, mages cannot form effective combat power by relying on mental power alone, but this is at least a slightly more promising direction.
For the next three days, Adam stayed at home, deducing and building rune sets in his room, leaving all the hustle and bustle of the outside world behind him.
After Adam's blow, the atmosphere in the academy has changed a lot compared to before. Adam brushed away the impetuousness in the hearts of the apprentices like an iron brush, and Howard and his companions were a very strong organization among the apprentices, and the elite of the organization could not do more than two magic spells in Adam's hands, which made them know that they were still an idiot.
As a result, they have changed from inferior display muscles to humble scholars, and the library has become the most lively place.
William completely lowered his head, silent as Adam at the beginning, alone in the academy.
Ophelia locked herself in her room for the rest of the day, and the next day she came to the lab at dawn and signed a contract with the alchemist, and vanished completely.
Kristel became the brightest new star among the apprentices after Adam, and she successfully entered the disciple of Master Black, becoming the personal disciple of the second-level mage, officially leaving the sequence of new apprentices.
On the last day of the ten-day period, James learned of Adam's 'brilliant' record during the handover, and he was not surprised that he knew best how good Adam was, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was no match either. And Adam's strength is not only manifested in combat power, but also in research ability, in his laboratory, the status of the two has already been reversed, and Adam has successfully changed from an assistant to a leader.
"Huh. ”
James watched the alchemy puppet seal the laboratory, sighed softly, and felt extremely melancholy in his heart, his path to a mage was unknown, and after leaving the mage continent, he even had to use magic with caution, because communicating with the ether in a low-magic environment would cause a more serious burden on his body.
He didn't have any friends, he was the oldest apprentice in the academy, and the same people as him had either been promoted or had long since died, and he had never been a dazzling person, and now he was about to leave without a send-off, which was also expected by him.
"Adam didn't come. He muttered a complicated sentence and paced slowly through the academy, putting Adam's due reward into his balance. James took one last look at the place he had struggled for decades and then turned away.
......
Adam was overloading his mind.
If someone could see his soul sea, they would find that in this infinite space, dense runes were constantly being built and annihilated, and a newborn rune often shattered and disappeared as soon as it appeared. As time passed, the number of newborn runes became smaller and smaller, and in the end, only nineteen pyramids remained in the sea of souls.
These pyramid-shaped runes have an arc-shaped underside and a complex structure that varies from the bottom to the top of the cone.
Adam's heart was excited, this set of meditation methods composed of nineteen runes was completely self-consistent, not only superior to the basic meditation method in terms of carrying magic power, but also had its own attributes.
Adam combined all the runes to form a spherical rune group, and at the same time, his spiritual power automatically spread, sweeping through his room in a violent manner, and all the mortal objects in the room were shattered into pieces in an instant, and the power was amazing.
"The construction of the new meditation method was completed, and the empirical evidence was successful, and it was named the Mindfulness Meditation Method. ”
When the logical thinking report was made, Adam jumped out of his room and sent himself unprotected into the air dozens of meters in the air. A new type of spiritual power named Nian Power was dissipated from the body and steadily held Adam in the air, so that Adam flew under the action of pure mental power.
It was true flight rather than floating, the telekinetic force first counteracted the gravitational force, and then constantly carried the air, turning the drag into power, and Adam shot himself like an arrow and changed direction freely in the air.
The people on the ground were stunned.
"Hey, hey, look, heaven, heaven!" one of the apprentices clutched his companion's arm, shouting unconsciously. His companion's arm was bruised by the force.
The companion pulled his hand away dissatisfiedly, muttering, "Let go, are you crazy, how ...... the sky?" and then he looked at the sky, also stunned, "Oh my God!"
Of course they'd seen such things as flying, but they had done it with the mages in the Tower, and they never thought that the apprentices around them could do the same!
Adam's heartfelt pleasure even made him make a childish move, constantly changing his body in the sky, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes diving, sometimes rising, and having fun.
The actions of the two on the ground attracted the attention of the others, and gradually, more and more people looked up at the sky, and then froze in place, their unconscious mutters converged, and the sound of the two words became louder and louder.
"Flying. ”
"Adam. ”
People in the library, classrooms, cafeterias, and dormitories also came out after hearing the voice, they didn't know what they were feeling in their hearts, they just watched Adam's free flying figure obsessively.
Elliot was affected by the cacophony of sounds, his hand shook, a bottle of potion exploded, and he cursed and walked out of the laboratory before he could express his displeasure when he saw Adam in the sky.
He didn't know what his little friend was crazy about, he was just flying, air magic could be done easily, why bother showing it in front of a rookie? he paused, and the air currents converged into wings behind him, and then Elliot flew into the sky and came to Adam's side.
"What are you doing? He complained to Adam.
Adam said lightly, "Oh, it's a pity. Do you know where James is?"
