Chapter 51 Reparations
But this is a castle that belongs to Dupont, and Horn is worried that DuPont will not agree, but Haubott says that the first half of the castle belongs to his real room, and DuPont will not care, as long as he does not go to the second half of the castle where Dupont lives.
So Horn went back and moved some necessary household supplies from his place of residence and lived directly in the castle.
Following
DuPont stood in front of all the trainees to begin the day's training schedule. Horn had expected DuPont to let him go down to the stone pillar with the other students to begin a new training. But Dupont let the others go down first, leaving Horn alone.
Horn asked, a little dazed, "Haven't I already awakened the Force?" I'm also at level seven, why can't I train with them yet?"
Du Pont explained with a smile: "You have indeed reached the strength of level seven, and you should also train with them." However, you have just awakened the Force, and you don't know how to use it yet, so you need to familiarize yourself with it before you can train with them. The bottom is not as good as the top, I will not follow, if there is danger, the chance of death is very high. ”
Horn had heard Adel talk about some of the things down there, and there were basically some tough monsters underneath. If you are not careful, you have a high chance of dying.
And the method of using the Force, Horn has more or less heard of it. After reaching the intermediate level, you can use the Force to focus on a certain part, drastically change the strength of that part, and then burst out with powerful power. But how exactly to hit the Force, Horn really didn't know. Because in the past, in the countryside of the Sunderland Empire, there were no mid-level martial artists who had reached the seventh level, and it could be said that there was not one. Moreover, Horn had been obsessed with the etiquette training of the nobles before, and he did not pay attention to the aspect of martial arts. Although he had met mid-level martial artists like Jin and them on the way, due to the short distance between them, Horn didn't bother to ask. Naturally, there is no knowledge of this aspect.
"The Force, in its original meaning, is actually the primordial energy latent in the body. This is something that everyone has at birth. But why isn't the Force as directly manifested as the power of our muscles? It has a direct relationship with its nature, which has always been latent in our bodies in the form of energy. It will only be revealed after the continuous reinforcement** reaches the limit. But the Force is distributed everywhere in our body, and because it is so scattered, even after awakening, it does not change much. If you can concentrate it on a certain part, such as the fists and feet, those scattered forces will have a powerful destructive force. Now I'm going to teach you how to gather and use the Force. DuPont began to explain.
Horn nodded as he listened, indicating that he had understood what DuPont meant. So DuPont began to hand over the Horn method. After some explanation, DuPont asks Horn to start trying to gather the Force.
Horn breathed deeply, concentrating to feel the Force, slowly drawing it toward his arm. At first, the Force was like glue, and it couldn't be pulled no matter how much it was pulled, but as time went on. Horn peeled off the Force bit by bit like an onion, and ran it up to his arm.
As the Force focused, Horn's arm changed. The first is that very strong muscles, which start to swell little by little. It's like a balloon that keeps filling it in. But it is not just a balloon that expands the skin, but it is like a muscle that expands and the arm becomes huge.
After about ten minutes, Horn felt that he had concentrated all the Force that had been developed in his body on his arm. The arms are filled with invincible power. He wanted to find a place to vent.
With a loud shout, Horn slammed straight down on the hard stone floor.
After a series of sounds, large pits appeared on the hard stone face, and the huge impact force blew the stones apart and scattered the ground with stone slag.
After a blow, Horn felt the Force in his fist gradually dissipate. Finally reince the momentum. Breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, I found a series of large pits on the ground, and looked at my fists in disbelief. The fist did not suffer any damage, not even the epidermis broke.
I couldn't help but say to myself, "This ...... Did I really do it?"
DuPont looked at Horn from the side, saw that he was stunned, and said with a smile: "Yes, you have now mastered the method of using the Force, but you still need to practice a lot to achieve the use of it at will, so that you can practice below with other students." ”
Horn reacted from surprise. Chao DuPont said sincerely: "Thank you, teacher, for your teaching." ”
It was Horn's heartfelt gratitude. Although DuPont was greedy for money, as a teacher, he was still very dedicated. It also made Horn understand that a person's hobbies and conduct are not necessarily directly related. His hobbies may be disgusting, but that doesn't mean he's a bad person.
DuPont just nodded, accepting Horn's thanks. However, what he said afterwards greatly reduced Horn's favorability towards him.
I only heard Dupont cough and said, "Last time I said, if you can awaken the Force in three months, then I will waive your tuition for two years." Since what I say, I will definitely deliver on it. After your half-year study period is up, you can practice with me for free for two years. ”
Speaking of this, Dupont's face couldn't help twitching, obviously the tuition fee of 10,000 gold coins was gone, which also made his heart ache.
Of course, Horn was happy, after all, it was a tuition fee of ten thousand gold coins. Although he won it desperately, he still had to express his gratitude, after all, the amount of 10,000 gold coins was as painful as cutting meat for DuPont. Just as he was about to express his gratitude, DuPont continued.
"Whereas, you completely destroyed those two besieging puppets in your cultivation...... At the beginning, I already said that it must be compensated, one is 20,000 gold coins, and the other is 40,000 gold coins. What do you say you want to do?" DuPont squinted his eyes and pretended to be helpless, but in fact, his heart was already happy. Although he just lost 10,000 gold coins, he has another 40,000 gold coins to take, so he earned it himself. Moreover, the cost of those two siege puppets actually didn't cost as much as 20,000 gold coins.
It was only then that it occurred to Horn that he had completely destroyed the puppet in his madness. His face couldn't help but fall, and he said in embarrassment: "How can I have so many gold coins now, otherwise I would have paid all the tuition fees for one year a long time ago...... Otherwise, when I get out, how about paying you back when I get out?"
DuPont thought about it for a moment and said helplessly: "Okay, but I want to add interest." ”
"How much?"
"Two thousand gold coins a year......," DuPont said with a smile, worried that Horn would think it was too much, and said, "This is a fair interest." ”
Horn thought about it for a moment, and had no choice but to accept it. In fact, he couldn't help but accept it, in fact, he was afraid that DuPont would ask for a price, but he didn't expect him to be quite fair.
It's just that he knows that DuPont has already misrepresented the price of those two puppets.
After Dupont left, Horn began to practice how to use the Force quickly, smashing the entire ground into potholes. It's a day of practice, the results are not bad, the use of the Force is getting more and more proficient, and the time is greatly shortened, but to do it at will, you can't do it without a few days of effort.
After a day of practice, he began to listen to Hao Bot explain a lot of magic knowledge and let him start practicing meditation.
Horn sat quietly on the edge of the stone bed, his legs crossed, his eyes closed. Make an effort to calm your mind.
At first, after Horn calmed down his thoughts, he actually fell into a deep sleep. It wasn't until Howbot came to check on him that he woke him up. And taught: "Meditation is not just about calming the mind. You also have to work hard to feel the elements around you, how to control them, and absorb them into your body. Sleep like you do, and meditate on something. ”
Horn realized that he had thought about meditation too simply. Lift your spirits now. Begin to make an effort to perceive the elements around you.
As his mind calmed down, Horn visibly felt the elements around him go from a foggy feeling of seeing flowers to a gradual clarity. In the end, he could even feel that these elements were not as calm as he imagined. The elements collide with each other, separate, entangle together, and are very active.
Horn began to try to use his spirit to capture these elemental particles and absorb them into his body. But it didn't work, and after several attempts, it was a failure. Undeterred, Horn began to try another way, observing the trajectory of the elemental particles. It was found that they all have certain patterns. Immediately after the elemental particles are entangled, they collide and separate. As long as you grasp the moment of separation, capture the particles, and absorb them into the body.
So Horn began to try, and the moment the elemental particles around him separated, he immediately used his mind to control the particles and absorb them into his body.
Horn could detect the elemental particles entering the body and begin to transform into magical power, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Although this amount of magic power was scarce to the point that it was dispensable for his tiny mana volume, it was the magic power he had successfully transformed for the first time.
After gaining an experience, Horn continued to capture elemental particles, accumulating little by little, and the speed was relatively faster.
At some point, Horn felt a violent shaking of his body. The spirit is pulled out of a meditative state.
Hurriedly opened his eyes. What came into view was the gray hair, and underneath the hair was a nervous face. You don't have to think about it to know that this is Haobot.
"What for?" Horn asked blankly. I don't know why Haobot woke himself up from meditation.
Hao Bot snorted and said, "What else can you do." It's daylight now, and it's time for you to practice martial arts. ”
Only then did Horn realize that it was already dark outside. How did I feel that it was too late in a meditative state?
At that moment, he stood up, washed up at a very fast speed, and ate some dry food casually. Start the day's practice......
