I had to keep this guess silently in my heart, and I had a feeling that I would get closer to the answer to this puzzle in the future, but now is not the time.

Back in the barracks, I was a little excited, if I say what is the biggest regret since childhood? I would answer without hesitation, not as a soldier.

Maybe there will be many people who have a different vision of the word soldier this year, but I always think that a man should go to the army, to experience the life of the barracks, and feel the taste of guns and blood and sweat.

However, due to the limitations of physical conditions, the failure to meet the physical examination standards made me always rub shoulders with the army. It should be an opportunity to integrate into the troops.

Moreover, being a soldier is different from being a soldier, and there is also a difference in where to be a soldier. Honor guards are also soldiers, but they are different from front-line combat troops, and they are also different from soldiers in what country, and I always feel that our country's soldiers are the best. At this point, we must admit that in some respects it is still a little behind the world's first-class level, but it is definitely the best in the world in terms of military atmosphere and construction.

Since we can't go out, of course, we just stay in the barracks, this time it's not like military training when I was studying, but really eating and sleeping with them, training together, if it's not a particularly confidential thing, I can participate in the whole process. However, Anne and Trist are not among them, and some things still have to be kept secret from the outside world.

Although we are not on the ground now, in this underground world, there is still a strict distinction between countries, because we always believe that this place is always short-lived, and one day we will return to the ground to build our home, and then we are afraid that some confidential things will be exposed.

And here, they actually rebuilt a training base, which is a bit simple compared to the land surface, but although the sparrows are small and complete, they can still meet the training needs, but there is a lot of lack of logistical support, lack of medical treatment, and the supply of bullets has also become a problem.

My identity is actually quite embarrassing, although I say that I am also a soldier and belong to the Earth United Formation, but I really haven't experienced the life of the military camp, and this Earth United Formation is also an internal name, there is no international recognition and is not known by everyone, the most important thing is that it has not been rigorously trained at all, it is more like a temporary force, or a mercenary, and I have gathered some people who have the ability to meet their requirements, and they are pulled out to the battlefield after a simple drill.

There will be no shortage of heroes in the war, there is a background for the emergence of heroes, that is, the team, it is on the basis of the team that there will be the birth of heroes, no matter how strong an individual is, he cannot cope with the entire enemy attack on the battlefield, and if he wants to turn the tide of the war with his personal strength, it is purely a dream.

These are not my perceptions, I still have such a high consciousness, but during this period of time, Zhang Tuan's education of me, personal heroism is an unacceptable idea in the army, not only will harm himself, but also is likely to affect others.

Of course, it is not to completely erase the characteristics of the individual, but to learn to integrate the strengths of the individual with the rest of the team and become a whole, so that the team can be invincible. This reminds me of a common saying in marketing, there is no perfect individual, only the perfect team. While the team may not be perfect, it can be close to perfection.

In the past, I was really only full of yearning for the barracks life in the army, but I only stayed at the yearning for guns and ammunition, and never realized what the word soldier meant. It is not enough to know from TV and other works of art, and you can only deeply understand them after you really get along with them. No wonder Mr. Wei would refer to them as the loveliest people in his newsletter, they are not only lovely, but also respectable!

While I was training with the special operations group, I didn't let go of my own cultivation, but it seems that my cultivation has entered a bottleneck, no matter how I practice, I can't make new breakthroughs, before I thought that I could break and stand up, that is, after I used up my own energy, there would be new breakthroughs, just like when we exercised, there would be new progress after exhaustion again and again. This worked before, but lately I don't know what's going on, and I can't improve it a bit. It's like there's a lid on it, but I can feel that the current level is not the ultimate limit, it's just that we haven't found a way to break through.

I also asked Trist and Anne to see if they were having the same problem.

"Trist, how is your cultivation now?"

"It's okay, although the progress is not too fast at the moment, but there is still some progress." Trist looked at me in surprise. "What's wrong? Could it be that something is wrong with your cultivation? ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, "I don't know what's going on, my cultivation doesn't seem to be progressing." It's just that a bottleneck has been encountered. ”

"I don't know how to help you with this." Trist said, shaking his head.

"Isn't your cultivation also progressing slowly?" I asked.

"The slow progress of my cultivation is because there is no energy absorption, the previous energy was a power stone given to me by the Atlanteans, but now it has basically been absorbed by me, and there are no new energy stones for me to absorb, so the progress is slow." Trist said.

"No, since the power stone is gone, how can you continue to cultivate?" I was confused by him again.

"Hehe......" Trist didn't speak, just chuckled and began to fiddle with the cards in his hand.

Seeing that he was no longer talking, and that he could not ask anything else, I had no choice but to give up.

"How's it going, Annie, are you okay here?" I turned to Anne to see if she was in a similar situation.

"Lu, it's good here, you can eat well, and no one will scold me......" Anne said with some joy.

I was a little sad to hear this, this requirement is too low, think about how much she has suffered before, that's why her standard of happiness is so low. When it comes to happiness these days, many people are pursuing cars, houses, savings, etc., but Anne's requirements are just to be able to eat enough, not to be scolded or beaten.

I would love to give her more, but at this time it was the case, and I had nothing else to give, but to play with her for a while, talking, coaxing her, and amusing her.

After a long time of trouble, it's time to get back to the point, "Annie, how is your ability now?" ”

Anne tilted her head sideways and thought for a moment, as if she didn't understand what I meant, but she replied anyway, "I don't know how, but the fireball is bigger than before." ”

Anne said as she was afraid that I would not understand as she gestured with her hand and drew a large circle, trying to tell me that she could now release such a large fireball.

Actually, Anne said that the fireball is not accurate, to be precise, it should be a flame, there is no core in it, just a flame.

What I released was a fireball, with a small nucleus in it, I don't know what it was, but it existed, and it was a gray object that fell to the ground, and I don't know what it was made of.

Anne was a child, and she was close to me, so she called the flames she released fireballs.

With her gesture, I understood that her current ability has improved compared to what she had shown before, and she didn't need to run into what I called a bottleneck, nor did she progress slowly because of her lack of energy like Trist.

Maybe it's because she's young and doesn't absorb as much energy as Trist. It's like a child eats less than an adult.

"Then did you have any special feelings when you were cultivating?" I asked again.

"Hmm, what a special feeling?" Anne thought desperately with her head sideways, her big eyes rolling in distraction.

She didn't seem to be able to ask anything, she was still young, and her ability to understand my words was limited, or maybe I didn't express it clearly enough.

As I was about to give up, I saw Anne pull a stone out of her bosom.

I looked, crystal?

However, this crystal is not very good-looking, originally the crystal should be transparent and flawless, and there is a trace of crack on Annie's crystal.

It dawned on me that Trist also had a piece of crystal on him. Goliath had given me that piece at the beginning, but because I couldn't draw energy from the crystal, I gradually forgot about it.

Now that Anne had taken out the crystal from her bosom, it occurred to me that I had pulled it out of my breast, the same color as the one in Anne's hand, but much larger and intact.

Seeing this, I pulled Anne up and went to Trist.

"Trist, do you have a fast crystal on you?" As soon as I got to Trist, I asked hurriedly.

Trist spoke, as if with a wry smile, took out a small pouch from his bosom, and opened it to see that it was a crystal, but now it was almost broken, full of cracks, and seemed to turn into powder with a little force.

I also understood what Trist said, and the reason why he is making progress now, but slowly.

The energy in the crystal he carried had been almost absorbed by him, and the crystals were about to turn into powder, and without the energy source, the natural progress would be slow.

"Here's for you!" I pulled the crystal off my neck and placed it in the palm of his hand.

"What are you doing here?" Trist looked at the crystal in his hand, then at me.

"You take this cultivation."

"What about you?"

"I don't need this, I can't absorb energy from this, it's useless to carry it, it's better to use it for you."

"Are you serious? You're not lying to me, are you? Trist said confusedly.

"I'm not generous enough to joke with my life. The better I cultivate, the stronger my ability to protect myself, and I really can't absorb it. You've also discovered that there is a difference between my spells and yours, and so are the sources of energy I absorb. In the beginning, Goliath struggled with this for a long time. ”

When it comes to Goliath, the expressions on everyone's faces are different, Anne doesn't care, she doesn't know who Goliath is, Trist is a little complicated, and it is Goliath who gives him the ability to do it, and now he is also our opponent, and Moon who came over is resentful, which we all understand.

"And what's your power source?" Trist asked.

"This." I shook my thumb and showed them the jade wrench in my hand.

Trist looked at it, nodded, said no more, and took the crystal I had given him.

At this time, I also noticed that there was a trace of crack on the wrench on my hand at some point, it was definitely not caused by a bump, it seemed that it was also caused by the cultivation absorbing the energy inside, I hadn't paid attention to it before, and only after seeing their crystal did I pay attention to look at the wrench.

"Then what will I do after this jade ring is absorbed?" Trist asked with a worried look on his face.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have been prepared, and I also bought a piece of jade before leaving. Also, this is not a ring, this is called a wrench! You don't understand it. I had the heart to explain to him, but I was too troublesome, so I waved my hand, looking disgusted that he was uneducated.

"The most important thing is that my cultivation has stalled recently, and even whether this piece of jade can be absorbed has become a problem."

Trist knew where I was going to be, which is why I approached both of them.

"The problem of this crystal is still easy to solve, and jade is not a problem." Moon said from the side.

"This is underground, aren't the crystals and jade hidden underground? If you take the time to find it, you will be rewarded, but it is a big problem that you can't continue to cultivate. Moon continued.

"I also know that this is not to ask them if there is a similar situation, and I want to find some enlightenment, but my cultivation is still a little different from theirs." I said helplessly.

"I can't delay this matter, I think you still have to find a way to do it as soon as possible, but I don't have any way to help you, I don't understand this." Moon was also a little helpless about this.

The four of us in the team have no way to cultivate alone, and they are the same situation for the entire Lemurians, although they will also pay attention to spiritual cultivation, but they can't use this energy for combat, more to make their minds smarter, just like Moon has a talent for invention, making them more creative.

"I think you might as well step up your cultivation in other aspects." Trist said thoughtfully.

"What do you mean?"

"I see that every time you release a spell, you have to do a set of actions, although I don't know what it is, but the process is a bit long, and the opportunity is fleeting in battle, every time such preparations will be delayed, and it is also easy to get yourself into trouble, and it is easy to become a target for others in the process." Trist said.

Trist's words are true, but I don't have any good solutions, this is what has been handed down like this, you have to go through such a set of handprints to cast spells smoothly. Unlike Anne, she can cast spells as soon as she thinks about it. Trist's spellcasting is also a bit complicated, but it's for long-distance movement, and you don't need much preparation for short-distance movement, as long as his sigiled cards fly out or are placed in a fixed position.
