Chapter 112: First Acquaintance with Source Qi
It was not like Aeakos, where the world turned into golden light in an instant, but as if in an eternal darkness, a faint light suddenly appeared, like fireflies on a summer night, flying on the banks of the river and in the fields.
A firefly is lonely, and so, from the moment it finds itself alone, its companion comes.
The golden points of light gathered more and more in the dark world, dotted into a sky of fireflies.
When Achilles came back to his senses and opened his eyes in surprise, the sun and wind were still there, and the golden fireflies were still there.
With a smile on his face, Aeakos spoke, "Remember this place. ”
Achilles nodded, although he didn't know why Aeakos said this, but there must have been his intentions.
Aeacus continued to walk unhurriedly in front, Achilles followed, and for some reason, he always felt as if he was a little lighter.
"Although the source qi in the world has become thinner, there are always some places where the source qi will be a little thicker, such as the place where you were standing just now. In places where there is a lot of source gas, perception becomes easy. ”
Aeakos tilted his head to look at Achilles, "This is changing the environment. ”
Achilles nodded, and under Aeakus's narration, he finally knew what the cultivation was all about, but there was still one thing he didn't understand.
"Grandpa, but if you perceive it, why should I wear this?"
Achilles raised his hands and showed the bracers on his wrists to Aeacus.
Aeakos smiled slightly, did not answer directly, but stroked his gray beard and asked, "Achilles, which is more genius, do you say that a person who has reached the level of a warrior at the age of five or a person who has reached the level of a warrior at the age of ten?"
"Five-year-old, of course. ”
Achilles said in passing, and when he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered Ajax.
"That's right, then let me ask you again, which is more genius, a person who has reached the level of a hero at the age of fifteen, or a person who has reached the level of a hero at the age of twenty?"
"The fifteen-year-old one?"
Achilles said a little unsure.
Aeakos shook his head, "No. ”
"That's the twenty-year-old one!"
"Not really. Eakos shook his head again, "The answer is, I don't know. ”
"Don't know?"
"Yes, not knowing means that you can't tell who is better. ”
Achilleston was a little puzzled, "But the fifteen-year-old one reached the hero level earlier." ”
"Achilles, I ask you, what is the definition of heroism?"
Achilles thought for a moment, "It seems to be...... The source force can be released from the body. ”
"Whose body?"
"The cultivators themselves. ”
Aeakos nodded, "The standard for the hero level is that the cultivator's own source power can release his body, and it can be seen from here that there is actually no unified standard for the hero level, the only standard is the cultivator himself, but everyone's body is different." ”
Aeakos continued: "With the same amount of source power, some people can release it from their bodies, and some people can't, just because their bodies are different. Some people are physically strong, and it is difficult for ten years of cultivation to allow the source power to fill the body and overflow from the outside, while some people are relatively weak and can do it in a few years. ”
"Isn't it true that the later a person becomes a hero, the more genius he becomes?"
"No, you forgot to think about one thing, and that is the cultivation speed. ”
Eakos went on to explain, "Some people are physically strong and at the same time they are cultivating fast, and some people are ......"
Aeakos stopped, and his mouth was a little dry.
"Well, let's use an analogy. Those with strong bodies are big bottles, and those with weak bodies are small bottles, and how fast the cultivation speed is how fast the water is poured, and when it is full, it means that the cultivator has reached the hero level. ”
"Large bottles of water pour faster, smaller bottles of water pour more slowly, and they may be full at the same time, so it doesn't make sense to compare time. It can only be said that when the two bottles are the same size, the one who fills them first is a little more genius. ”
Listening to Aeacus's explanation, Achilleston understood.
Aeakos concluded: "A large bottle of water is not a genius if it is poured slowly, and a small bottle of water is not a genius if it is poured quickly. ”
"Grandpa, am I a big bottle or a small bottle?"
Aiakos patted him on the shoulder, "The bottle of a demigod is already much larger than that of a mortal, and you can be ranked second in terms of size among the demigods I have seen." ”
Achilles immediately became interested, "Then who is the first?"
"A young man, named Hercules, is now on Mount Olympus. ”
It's him!
Originally, Achilles was a little unconvinced when he heard Aeakos say that he could only rank second, but now he is a little complacent.
Hercules has become a god, so if according to Aeakos, the one who is still alive today has the greatest potential, isn't he himself?
"Have you seen Hercules too?"
"I've seen it from afar. ”
"What about his ...... Well, how big is his bottle?"
Aeakos turned his head, a strange smile on his face, "Do you really want to compete with him?"
Achilleston was a little nervous and explained, "It's not a comparison, I'm just asking." ”
Aeakos spoke, "Ten times ...... your size"
Achilles' face is green, how strong is it?
"That's a bit of an exaggeration......"
Achilles' face was happy, and Aeakus said, "But eight or nine times should be there." ”
Achilles paused, with a look of disbelief on his face, "So you...... Are you sure I'm second?"
"yes. ”
Aeakos smiled, if you look at the blood of Achilles and Hercules themselves, it is not an exaggeration to say that Hercules is eight or nine times stronger than Achilles, but Aeakos did not include another matter.
A god from the River Styx!
Although, according to Achilles, there are only half of the gods, but even that, it is enough to change everything.
Achilles' potential is not much worse than that of Hercules when he was a child!
Achilles walked behind, still with a hint of frustration on his face.
Aeakos walked in front and smiled: "Achilles, you don't have to feel depressed, at least your talent must be stronger than mine." The reason why I tell you that there are people who are much better than you is that I hope you know that you should never be arrogant when walking on the path of heroes. ”
Achilles struck a hard call, "Yes, I see." ”
"And the size of such things as bottles is not static, for example, I let you wear these things, which are used to exercise your body. ”
Achilles nodded abruptly, I see.
