Chapter Seventy-Seven: Rapid Progress
An hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed......
As time passed, I felt that the ball in my body was getting bigger and bigger, and the light seemed to be intensifying, although both the size and the strength of the light were only rising at an extremely slow rate, but it was still changing.
Along with the photosphere, there is also a feeling of fatigue. Three hours of intense concentration made me feel quite tired, and later on, the speed of the ball of light slowed down, and at the same time, a dizzy sensation came over me, which interfered with me and made it difficult for me to concentrate.
At this moment, the ball of light suddenly became uncontrollable and quickly dissipated, followed by a painful sensation, which seemed to come from the soul, which was somewhat unbearable.
"Looks like it's coming." Xiao Lao muttered to himself, and then raised his hand, and a faint light formed a protective shield that surrounded me around a range of fifty meters.
Under Xiao Lao's gaze, I saw that Chen Moji's body began to emit black and white light, like a gas spewing outward, white and black, and at the same time, the whole room shook, and the ground also appeared a little crack because of the huge energy.
"It's such a strong energy fluctuation, I didn't expect the initial shake of the 'Principle of Chaos' to reach this point." The so-called initial shake refers to a kind of non-intentional ability fluctuation caused by the inexperienced star source flowing backwards into the "reason" because the controller condenses the star source for the first time, this fluctuation varies from person to person, and it is generally not too strong, but it is obvious that Chen Moji does not belong to the situation of ordinary people now.
This fluctuation lasted about twenty times before it finally subsided, and by this time the ground inside the shield had been severely damaged.
"Alright, that's it." The voice of the old man rang in my ears, and I stopped my movements, relaxed my attention, and as soon as I stopped, a wave of tiredness swept over me, and I almost didn't have time to resist, and I lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I was already in bed, and I got up and looked around, I should be in the old cabin now. My head was still a little dizzy and my stomach was a little hungry, but I still went to Cher's side, gently stroked her cheek, and kissed her on the forehead.
"Ahem." There was a cough, and I hurriedly looked up, and Xiao Lao was standing not far away, "I don't want to disturb you, but we should go get something to eat." ”
"Can't you knock on the door and come in?" I said.
"Hey you kid, let's not say that I was standing here, you didn't notice, besides, this is my house, do I have to knock on the door when I enter my house."
Covering the cup for Xue'er, I walked a few steps to Xiao Lao, Xiao Lao looked at me and didn't speak, for a long time, he asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"Why do you say that?" I asked.
"It's okay, just care about you kid, how does it feel to be condensed by Xingyuan?"
"It's not bad, it's a little bit fumbled, but I don't know why the star source I condensed was suddenly sucked away by something, what's going on?"
"A normal phenomenon, called 'first shake', will appear when the controller has just begun to condense the star source, because he has not controlled the 'reason', so the newly condensed star source will go against the current, resulting in the subconscious use of the ability of 'reason', but it is only this once in a lifetime."
"Oh, what time is it now." I felt like my stomach was screaming, after all, I hadn't eaten for a day.
"It's evening, let's go, please have something good to eat today."
"You're so generous?"
"Hey you kid, look down on the old man, stop talking nonsense and leave quickly, I'm dying of hunger."
With a wave of his hand, we left his little world and went out into the streets, not continuing to use the teleportation, but wandering the streets while discussing what to eat, and finally decided to try the local specialties.
Along the way, I talked to Xiao Lao about the feelings I had condensed before, and Xiao Lao also pointed out a few times from the side, and then it became a chat, when I said that I had eaten Su Bing'er's food, Xiao Lao was obviously moved, and also signaled from the side that I had the opportunity to let him taste it, which I could only be silent in my heart.
Maybe I'm really hungry at the end of the day, and I eat a lot for dinner, and I'm not worried about gaining weight, after all, I'm too thin now. Of course, the price of such a meal is naturally expensive, and of course it is nothing for Xiaolao.
After eating, we didn't stop long, and we went straight back to the small world of Xiaolao. Dinner naturally brought back some for Xue'er, Xiao Lao originally wanted to use his ability to directly chop up the food and send it into Xue'er's stomach, but I refused on the grounds that it was my responsibility to take care of Xue'er, in fact, there is another point, it just sounds a little disgusting to do this.
After feeding Xue'er, I followed Xiao Lao to the lawn not far from the door, and Xiao Lao casually called a chair for me to sit down.
"You have now mastered the skills of condensation, but you still need to consolidate, there was an external force in the condensation room before, which can help you quickly find your feelings, but from now on, you have to condense in this nature, so you still need to get used to it." Xiao Lao paused for a moment and asked, "Do you know why?" ”
I didn't ask the reason for this, I can probably guess why, after all, I can't always condense the star source in the condensation room, I must encounter the situation outside, and condensing in this kind of nature can also exercise my attention and make me concentrate.
"One is that I can't always be in the condensation room, and the other is that I can exercise my concentration here." I replied.
"Not bad." Xiao Lao nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Next, you can consolidate it here, but remember, once you feel dizzy or uncomfortable, you must stop immediately, and your time for condensing today is enough for a novice." ”
"What about the star sources I condensed before, do they have to be re-condensed?"
Xiao Lao nodded, "It is indeed to re-condense, but it is not the same as the first condensation, if you condense a condensed star source, and then this condensation is exhausted, your second condensation is equivalent to a recovery process, and then your condensation speed will increase geometrically, but it will also consume your soul power, but it will consume less." ”
"Condensation is also the first recovery, only after recovering all the star sources can you start to condense new star sources, in short, today is mainly to recover, okay, the old man won't bother you, drink tea." After that, the old joy disappeared.
This old guy is quite fond of tea, but his tea is really delicious. Thinking like this, I closed my eyes, immersed all my consciousness in my mind, and quietly felt the dots of matter condense together, indeed, as Xiao Lao said, this time the condensation speed was much faster than the first condensation during the day, almost five times more.
In this way, I continued to condense under the starry sky, and after about an hour, all the star sources I had originally condensed had been restored, and then I continued to condense, and my speed slowed down.
Listening to the breeze, the water flowing, and the birds chirping, I gradually fell into a state of self-forgetfulness, in which I seemed to follow an inexplicable rhythm and rhyme, which was strange, but unusually comfortable.
In this way, I continued to condense, watching the white ball of light, which was too small to be seen, slowly expand, until a faint feeling of dizziness came, and I stopped condensing. When I opened my eyes again, it was late at night, and when I looked at my phone, it was already 3 a.m.
Pushing the door into the house, the lights have been extinguished, the breathing sound on the second floor is very even, Xiao Lao should have fallen asleep, I also walked to the side of the bed and lay down slowly, my head just touched the pillow, and my consciousness slowly faded......
……
It was that white space again, and I got up from the ground and shook my head slightly.
"You have to come on." A familiar voice rang out from all around, it was Cher's, but there was no doubt that the person who spoke was not Cher.
"Who are you, why do you speak in Cher's voice, why do you know about Xiao Lao." I asked coldly. It was this voice that told me to find the person wearing the mask before, and it should be Xiao Lao.
"You've touched the threshold, you have to work hard, go to the truth, to find out the true identity of that person."
"What the hell are you talking about, what is the truth, who is that person you are talking about!" I asked aloud, but the voice never came again.
"Answer me!" As soon as the words came out, his thoughts became blurred, and then he didn't know anything in front of him.
……
By the time I got up from bed again, it was already the next morning, and after a night's rest, I was recovering well and didn't feel any discomfort anymore.
Xiao Lao walked down from the upper floor, still wearing a white robe and that mask, I had asked him why he had been wearing it, but he didn't talk about it, and I didn't ask too much, everyone has their own secrets, not to mention the powerful Xiao Lao.
"Wake up early, boy......" Xiao Lao said as he went downstairs, and before he could finish his words, he suddenly stopped, and even almost fell because he didn't stand firmly.
"Why, you don't have to make such a big move if you haven't eaten breakfast." I glanced at Xiao Lao and said.
"You stinky boy, how long have you been practicing yesterday?" Xiao Lao's voice was obviously trembling.
"If you don't count the recovery time, it's about four hours, what's wrong?"
"No, it's impossible, four hours, how is it possible, four hours to reach this level?"
"What's the matter, what a fuss." I said confusedly.
"What's wrong? Your current star source is flickering and dimming, this is clearly a sign of qualitative change, you know, how many people spend months or even years, they may not be able to reach this level, you you you ......" Later, Xiao Lao couldn't even speak, I didn't know what this concept was at the time, and it wasn't until soon after that I realized how big the blow I brought to Xiao Lao at that time.
