Chapter 8 The Road to Growth
Time flies, Lu Feng devotes himself to the perceptual practice, and before he knows it, a month has passed.
During this period, most of them were substitute teachers by Tutor Feng, and occasionally a few other tutors came to teach temporarily, one theoretical course a day, and one perceptual exercise every two days.
Lu Feng was puzzled: "What's the matter, mentor?"
Mentor Feng said in a deep voice: "Your mental power is low now, and you can't detect anything yet, that's because your spiritual frequency hasn't formed an effective resonance with the space-time fluctuations of the altar like them, but continuous communication with the altar to try to break the barrier of time and space will still cause invisible fatigue to your spirit, think back to yourself Recently, do you always have some strange dreams when you sleep?"
The people that Tutor Feng pointed out, Lu Feng looked at them, they were the "excellent" classmates such as Bai Xing and Shen Tianzong who seemed listless and in poor spirits these days.
As for strange dreams?
To be honest, Lu Feng forgets whether he has a dream every time he wakes up, but when he is active during the day recently, he feels that his whole body is soft and has no strength, although it is not as exaggerated as Shen Tianzong and Bai Xing, but it should indeed be affected by something.
Lu Feng and others' task as trainee mediators is only to learn theoretical courses and practice the thinking of perceiving otherworldly creatures, until they can successfully connect and perceive before they are allowed to communicate and contact otherworldly creatures independently.
What formal mediators teach is not limited to boring theories and regulations, but tells about imparting experiences based on their own experiences, such as Tutor Feng did not come to class that day, and was replaced by a mediator mentor who had never met before.
"This is the difference between the official branch of the mediator and the private institution. ”
The muscular tower-like tutor said to everyone with deep meaning: "The selection criteria of private institutions are lower than those of the official ones, but they have to pay more money, so that most of these students will only be trainee mediators in the future, and they will do nothing all their lives. ”
"Of course, like the private aristocratic college, you can spend money to hire a formal mediator to give a lecture, and you can also apply for technical exchange and cooperation like the mediator headquarters, but this kind of institution is not open to ordinary people, and those who can enter are either rich or expensive. ”
Hearing this, Shen Tianzong sighed: "My mother originally planned to send me to this kind of private institution, but Young Master Ben is a genius in the sky, and he is destined to spread his wings and fly high, which is the canary that they can hold, and they want me to go back to inherit the family business honestly after I finish my studies under their supervision, no way!"
Lu Feng smiled next to him and didn't answer.
Although some private institutions will bring people who are only a little short of being selected at the evaluation meeting into the institution and train them, with the increasing number of these institutions, coupled with the family inheritance of many mediators, the total number of mediators in the world of mediators today is so large that it has to build all kinds of gathering places that resemble diamond-shaped mansions.
Because he could only practice crossing the barrier of time and space once every two days, Lu Feng had to try his best to prolong the time he spent in the sea of thoughts in order to study more deeply.
Locking a thinking voice from the sea of thoughts is like a blind man catching the dexterous fish in the turbulent river, and the difficulty can be imagined.
Failed again and again, silent, and then the next practice after two days, every time Lu Feng tried his best to give full play to his potential, cherishing every opportunity, during this period, Lu Feng no longer played around with Shen Tianzong, devoted himself to practice, and left all the external interference behind.
Every time Lu Feng tried to prolong his stay in the Sea of Thoughts, he also felt more tired, and gradually began to approach the lethargic state of Bai Xing and Shen Tianzong, Lu Feng seemed to finally see his own footsteps, and felt a little relieved at the same time.
It feels like you're going against the rapids, the huge waves are rushing over, and you can sweep yourself away at any time, and all you need to do is to dive in the non-stop flowing water and find a place to catch it.
In the first few weeks, everyone continued to fail, and gradually, as time went on, the news of the success of the students' perception finally spread, and these people who first perceived the thinking of exotic creatures applied to their mentors, and were given permission to communicate with exotic creatures independently, and were given a basic altar of trainee mediators.
When these trainee mediators successfully came into contact with the creatures of another world independently, they began to proudly tell their classmates about their communication experiences, which was envied by a large group of people who had not yet succeeded, and also added a great sense of urgency to everyone, all of whom were doing their best.
The days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.
Another failure in the exercise, Lu Feng felt slightly dizzy due to the intense consumption of mental power, almost unsteady on his feet, barely stood and wiped the sweat running down his cheeks with his palms, and stood on the altar and took several deep breaths in a row before he stabilized.
Suddenly, Shen Tianzong ran over laughing, hugged Lu Feng, who was soft, and was so excited that he almost flew up, shouting: "Lu Feng! I succeeded! I succeeded!"
"Did it work? really!"
Hearing the news of his good friend, Lu Feng instinctively felt a sudden burst in his heart, and there was an indescribable sense of loneliness and fear, other people's success was just heard, but Shen Tianzong's success really happened to him, it was his best friend, an indescribable gap, it seemed that he had been left far behind by the whole world.
Lu Feng tried his best to make a smiling expression, trying not to show himself abnormally, and congratulated: "Great." ”
"Hahahaha, Young Master Ben is worthy of being a genius!" Shen Tianzong touched his funny mustache and said with a smile: "What about you, how are you?"
"I ...... Haha, I'm almost there, too. ”
In the evening, the two had a small celebration, and the cost was of course Shen Tianzong's.
Since then, Lu Feng has made 120,000 efforts, repeatedly trying to stabilize his mind when locking on the target, and I don't know if the method is wrong, every time it is a failure, that boundless panic and frustration is completely submerging Lu Feng's self-confidence little by little, and even waking up in the middle of the night for no reason, erasing the wetness of the nightmare in the corner of his eyes.
Two weeks later.
Lu Feng stood on the altar and took a deep breath, doing his best to keep himself in the best condition, his eyes closed, and his spirit quickly filtered the sound in the sea of thoughts, and discerned it carefully.
After this period of practice, Lu Feng figured out a trick that is not to blindly distinguish a large number of thinking sounds when his mental strength is low, otherwise he will be directly overwhelmed by the thinking sound because of the heavy burden, or he will not be able to lock on to his goal.
Lu Feng quickly locked on a thinking voice as his target, peeling off the noise next to it one by one like peeling an onion, so that his spirit would not be disturbed by those thoughts, but just when Lu Feng was still a short distance away from the target, as if exhausted, his spirit lost his dominance, and after all, he did not withstand the impact and interference of the mottled thoughts around him, and suddenly lost the direction of the target.
The light of the altar was extinguished, and Lu Feng opened his eyes violently, without saying a word, and was terribly silent.
Failed again.
Lu Feng stepped down from the altar and walked alone in the corridor under the sunset, his footsteps echoing loudly, and he could faintly see his own single figure on the marble floor.
Tick tick!
The smart chip came to Shen Tianzong's contact: "I see that you are not in a good state recently, come out to get together, tell you good news, and see if there is anything that can help you, hehehe, if you don't treat me as a buddy, forget it, see you in the old place in the dining area." ”
Biting his lip, Lu Feng took a deep breath, walked quickly to the mirror and sorted out his embarrassment, not wanting outsiders to see the slightest weakness of himself.
In the dining area, Shen Tianzong is still as happy and optimistic as he is looking forward to the future.
"Hahahahaha, Lao Tzu made a lot of money this time! Hehe, let's go! Dude invites you to have a big meal, and the feeling of making a lot of money on those neuropaths is really great!"
Shen Tianzong ordered the menu to the automatic store, and at the same time, his eyebrows fluttered and he told Lu Feng about his experience in another world.
"After I passed, I happened to appear on the top of a summoning array, and below was a large pool of blood, which was soaked in a large number of half-dead beauties wailing miserably, and there were broken limbs, eyeballs, intestines and so on on the blood water, tsk, that scene was bloody, if it weren't for the mental state, I would have vomited it on the spot. ”
Lu Feng interrupted him in some surprise and asked, "Ah, could it be the Evil God Summoning Ritual?"
That's pretty much what it means. Shen Tianzong said, handing a box of food that looked like glutinous rice balls to Lu Feng, today's food is normal.
Shen Tianzong continued: "The manifestation of our spirit body in the other world is not just a cloud of vague spirit mist, those crazy priests all regard me as that evil god, and they beg me to give them strength, I saw it, Cheng, let them take out all the sacrifices, give some stimulants, psychedelics and other things, and then quickly sneak back." I checked the smart chip carefully, and said that those sacrifices are very grateful to me, and they are voluntary transactions between the two parties, but there is no violation at all, hahahaha. ”
Lu Feng ate rice balls, and after listening to Shen Tianzong tell his legendary story, he said with a smile: "That's really congratulations, it's always bad news on my side." ”
"Haven't you worked out yet?"
The smile on Shen Tianzong's face was closed, and he also frowned, showing a rare look of worry: "I think you have practiced enough to dedicate yourself, although I am a genius and can easily do it without too much effort, but you are at least ten times harder than me, and it should be enough." ”
"I don't know. ”
Lu Feng pressed his temples that were faintly throbbing, and said a little tiredly.
"Alas......"
Shen Tianzong thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, you have a good rest tonight, and I will tell you about my experience and steps to see if you are wrong." ”
Lu Feng looked at Shen Tianzong, who was full of worries, and showed his worries, this feeling was unprecedented, it seemed that he had only felt it from his parents, selflessly helping himself when he was most helpless, Lu Feng's mood was indescribable for a while.
"Thank you. ”
Lu Feng said in a low voice, trying not to make himself look unusual.
"Thank you, you don't treat me as your buddy!"
Hearing Shen Tianzong's unhappy words, Lu Feng showed a relaxed smile, and his sincere expression didn't need to say anything more.
Shen Tianzong did not hide his secrets at all, and described to Lu Feng in detail how he distinguished the voice of thinking in the tide of thinking, and then locked on to the target, all kinds of processes were painted and colorful, and he talked for more than an hour, Lu Feng has been listening carefully, thinking about his mistakes.
"After the lock is successful, the smart chip will show the spatial coordinates of the creature, and then it will be hehehehehe......"
The two chatted until late before they broke up.
Lu Feng made up his mind that in order to make a promise to his parents before leaving, he would no longer be closed to the door because of the so-called face, but should let go of his humble arrogance, humbly ask his outstanding classmates for successful experience, and face himself squarely.
