Chapter Ninety-Seven: What is Cultivation?
"This classmate, may I ask what is your name?" asked Lin Kedao with a smile on his face, like a weasel showing warmth to a chicken.
Linko stood up and bowed politely, "My name is Cohen, Cohen Mutes. ”
Claire's eyes suddenly lit up like a light bulb, "Cohen Mutes, you're actually a spellcaster, interesting, really interesting, then this beautiful girl next to you is the magic archer Cher, right?" Before the black line on his head could respond, he had already frowned and continued, "I think it's very necessary to start exercising my first right as a mentor, that is, adjust the seat!"
There was an uproar, I haven't heard that the God of War Academy has a tutor who specially adjusts the seats for students, hasn't it always been freely combined?!
"Xue'er, you get up and sit on the empty seat next to this male classmate," Claire, the tutor of Sao Bao, smiled and pointed to the empty seat next to a fat boy in the front row who looked a little wooden and even a little frightened, "I think this is the place where you can learn the knowledge of theory classes more advantageously, well, as for Cohen, this classmate, what is your name?" Claire squinted her eyes and asked a girl on the other side who was also sweet-looking with almond eyes and wearing a bright red mage robe.
"Oliver, Oliver, Roderick," the girl said timidly.
"Wow," Tutor Sao Bao exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Roderik family kid, it's good, then you can sit next to Cohen!"
The crowd was speechless.
Everyone was full of worries about the future of their lives at the God of War Academy, which they had just begun.
"Okay," Mr. Sao Bao regained his serious expression and clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention back to him before saying, "Then this is the end of our first seat adjustment," he glanced at Lin Ke as if he was provocative, but found that the latter didn't have too much emotion at all, and then pouted a little boredly and continued, "In the first class, what I want to tell you is a problem that every professional will consider, that is, how to cultivate and advance?"
The students in the classroom were in an uproar.
Joke, if you don't even know how to cultivate and advance, these people who have been cultivating for many years have been making games all these years?
"Yo?!It seems that everyone has some ideas," Tutor Sao Bao put on an extremely unbeaten expression and casually pointed to the girl who was the most cheerful and said, "You, yes, it's you, stand up and tell everyone how to cultivate and advance?"
The girl stood up without stage fright and said, "Cultivation is the process of guiding the free magic elements from the outside world into the body through meditation, and when the energy accumulates to a certain extent, there will be a bottleneck, and if you break the bottleneck, you can enter the next round of the cycle of accumulating energy, and so on and so forth, it is the promotion," the girl picked her chin and sat down without waiting for the tutor to speak, obviously very confident in her answer.
Tutor Sao Bao was not angry, his eyes rolled while smiling, and he suddenly pointed to another girl in the corner who was frowning and pondering, and said, "I think you should have a different point of view, right?"
The girl nodded a little hesitantly and then stood up and said, "I have the same opinion as this classmate on what cultivation is, but I have some different views on what is promotion, I have heard the elders in the family say that the bottleneck is not the natural occurrence of energy accumulation to a certain extent, but the obstacle caused by the professional's perception of the realm is not in place. ”
As soon as her words fell, another boy took the initiative to stand up and said, "I also heard the elders in the family say something about promotion, this elder happens to be a powerful spellcaster, he said that the so-called bottleneck of promotion is a kind of assessment of the level of energy understanding, only when the understanding of energy reaches a certain level, can you pass this assessment and enter the next stage, this is the meaning of promotion!"
The scene was a little out of control, which of the students who were able to enter the God of War Academy was not a proud child of the sky in the family, who could not have heard the elders talk about how to cultivate, but when these proud sons of the sky gathered together to discuss this topic that no one had ever thought of discussing, they found that these views that they had never questioned presented a huge conceptual deviation, which made them a little confused and even frightened, after all, for so many years, they had never cultivated according to this point of view and there had never been a problem.
"Alright," Mr. Sao Bao waved his hand proudly to signal that everyone's discussion was temporarily suspended, and it seemed that he was going to make a final summary, "Then everyone will have a discussion for the rest of the class!"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they were all angry!
Isn't our discussion just a self-study class, what do you want this guy to eat?!
"Just kidding, relieve the tense atmosphere, don't worry, look at you guys like that, you really don't have any sense of humor," Teacher Sao Bao said with a wry smile, "As for what cultivation is, I tell you now, cultivation is the process of constantly perceiving the energy of each system, as people perceive the energy of each system more deeply, the higher the level, as for the bottleneck, it is just a roadblock on the road of perceiving energy, and if you move away from the roadblock, you can continue to move forward, this is similar to everyone," As everyone looked down in deep thought, he added, "Oh, by the way, these are my personal opinions, not the Academy. ”
In an instant, everyone's hearts were on the verge of collapse.
Lin Ke was one of the very few students in the class who was able to keep his composure.
In fact, he was thinking very calmly.
He is no stranger to cultivation, but most of them are "watching" Cohen's every move in his memory from the perspective of a bystander, so as to substitute this feeling, so he actually does not have a fixed concept of cultivation, therefore, unlike those students who have unswervingly implemented their fixed thinking for many years, he can easily look at each of their answers with an outsider's or even critical eyes, and then corroborate each other with the concepts in his heart, which is very rewarding.
Claire, the tutor of Sao Bao, said that those opinions only represented his personal opinions, but Lin Ke knew what the God of War Academy and the students in the academy meant to the empire, so his every move must definitely conform to a certain degree, and the most basic condition for this degree is to be correct and true, so Lin Ke first considered his words.
He said that cultivation is the process of constantly perceiving energy.
Lin Ke very much agrees with this point of view.
In his view, energy is living water, perception is the pool, the deeper the perception, the more energy can be controlled, just like the larger the pool, the more water, then the bottleneck is the obstacle to prevent the pool from getting bigger, after the obstacle is removed, the pool can enter the next round of enlargement process.
But he couldn't deny the views of other students, because those views were by no means summed up by the young men and women of Xiong Li's lower rank, on the contrary, most of the views were derived from the teachings of their parents, and there was definitely no shortage of masters of the Dragon Power Realm among these elders, presumably they themselves cultivated all the way to the peak with the support of such views, so that their views had at least been tested, and then taught to their own children, they would not hide their secrets.
Then the problem arises.
Should cultivation focus on meditation and accumulation of energy, or should it focus on the characteristics of the energy itself that is perceived during meditation and fighting?
Is the promotion focused on understanding the characteristics of the next realm, or is it about increasing one's understanding of energy?
Lin Ke couldn't help but be a little entangled.
These things don't seem to be able to come to the right conclusion without a long period of verification, and the sassy tutor in front of him with a damn smile looks too unreliable, and he means that he doesn't intend to give you an accurate answer, but you can verify this thing in person, and no matter how much time you waste, the danger that may be caused by just going the wrong way is unpredictable.
Damn it.
"Okay, I think this question is enough for you to think about it for a while, this should be our class's homework today, after you go back, you will meditate and feel carefully, find the most suitable cultivation method for yourself, all roads lead to the imperial capital, I believe that with everyone's efforts, our class will definitely be able to make great progress," Shi Shiran waved his hand after saying a lot of nonsense, "Today's class is here, and the rest of the time is free to arrange." ”
"Well, I think it's very necessary to get acquainted with the campus, after all, you will be living here for three or four years, cherish it," Tutor Sao Bao staggered to the door of the classroom under the murderous gaze of everyone and suddenly stopped, " Oops, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you, your great teacher Claire, I am an earth magician, and the teacher who will teach you tomorrow will be a water magician, and then the daily classes will be arranged in this way, from front to back, they are earth, water, fire, wind, ice, thunder, light, interested students can participate, and those who are not interested can not participate, in fact, our class has always been the most free, finally, I wish you all a happy study in the academy, and make progress every day!"
The crowd "......"
There was a lot of buzz in the classroom.
"Where are we going next, are we going to find Lilith?" asked Cher as she approached Lin Ke, her expression a little unpleasant.
"If Lilith is going to end the first day of classes so early, then this God of War Academy will be a bit disappointing," Linko stood up and turned back to his new tablemate, the shy but imposing girl in red nodded to Cher, "Let's go to the library, yes, that book tower, didn't Nicole say that there is a layer of theoretical books open to the public, maybe there will be the answers we need." ”
――――――――――――――――――――――
In a hidden grove in the academy, Claire, the tutor of Sao Bao, who had just finished the first day of the first class, was taking a leisurely walk, chewing a dogtail grass in her mouth, like a little hooligan in a remote town who did not produce anything.
Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, and a faint golden six-pointed star flashed in the void.
And a slender figure suddenly appeared a meter behind him.
Claire breathed a sigh of relief and regained her under-beaten expression, turning around and smiling, "Lynn, you always scare me like this. ”
The person who came was the mysterious woman Lin who appeared once at the two white-bearded old men, "Your worthless acting skills will kill you one day." ”
Claire giggled, "Why do you have time to come to me today? You can't be dating me, right?"
