Horn saw Adele's insistence, and said helplessly: "Then you can take some casually." ”

Adel thought for a moment, and said, "Well, how about I give you twenty times the price outside?" If you can, I have a thousand gold coins here, and you can give me the equivalent food." ”

Horn originally wanted to give it to him for free, but since Adel had to give it. He no longer politely accepted a thousand gold coins from him. At the moment, I brought the equivalent food to him, and gave him some more for free.

Following

Horn was woken up by the rush of a bell. When I got up, the sky was just white.

At this time, Adele's voice came from outside: "Horn, get up, start training." ”

Horn hurriedly flipped up. In fact, all the stone houses had nothing but a stone bed. It can be seen that DuPont, a greedy man, is stingy.

Horn hurried up, and the other students outside had already jumped up towards the iron rope, one by one, towards the stone pillar area.

Adel was standing outside waiting for Horn. After seeing Horn come out, he said, "I forgot to tell you last night, this time of day is the time to start cultivating. ”

Horn said he understood. Then he followed Adel towards the Cable.

Coming to the Cable, Adair turned to Horn and asked, "You better go ahead, I'll follow." ”

Horn shook his head and said, "No, you go first." I've already walked through it once yesterday, and I probably have a bottom. I'm saying that I can't always let you follow, I need to face it myself, even if this difficulty is out of my ability. ”

Seeing Horn insisting, Adel sighed and said, "You're right, then you pay attention yourself, I'll go first." ”

Look at Adele's figure in the distance. Horn took a deep breath and jumped onto the wire. Hit the attention and walk towards the stone pillar step by step.

After half an hour's advance, Horn walked through the chain without danger. During this period, they also encountered strong winds, but they were all defused by Horn one by one.

By the time Horn reached the front of the castle, the other cadets were gone. I guess I went to the area under the stone pillar to start training.

At this time, Dupont stood alone in front of the castle. The round face was still smiling. After seeing Horn coming, he said, "Horn, it seems that you adapt quite quickly." It's only been a day, and I've walked through the wire by myself. ”

Horn nodded calmly, he wouldn't be proud of this small achievement. He said, "Teacher, it took me a little more time when I came. How do you start cultivating now?"

DuPont admired Horn's calmness. And I was not proud of my appreciation. He said, "Your current level is relatively low. It is not suitable to cultivate under the stone pillar with other people. I have prepared a set of cultivation methods for you. ”

As he spoke, Dupont threw a suit of armor from behind him.

With a thud, the armor fell heavily to the ground. Smash a small hole in the stone floor. From this, it can be seen that the weight of this armor is not light.

DuPont pointed to the armor and said, "Put it on." ”

Horn didn't know what Dupont was going to do, but he did as he was told.

Grab the armor with your hand. Horn felt very heavy, at least three adults. After Horn struggled to put the armor on his body, he found it quite difficult to move. Every step of the action requires considerable effort.

Dupont watched with satisfaction as Horn put on his armor like a rat with a giant tortoise shell. "How's it going?"

Horn took two steps, feeling heavy and heavy, but still moving. He nodded at the moment: "You can still move, but it's not very convenient." But what are you wearing this for? Do you want me to wear this to cultivate?"

Du Pont smiled, the fat on his face shook and said, "That's right, wearing this is for cultivation." ”

Then he clapped his hands. Suddenly, Horn felt heavy footsteps on the ground. As the footsteps drew closer, a tall black figure stepped out of the castle. The shadow was two grown-length figures, with a waist as big as a bucket and huge limbs. A stride is a distance of two or three meters. Especially with that weight, you can feel a slight vibration on the ground with every step you take.

Horn looked at the huge, steel-made magic golem in front of him. gasped, the huge figure gave people an oppressive momentum. If you are rubbed by this magic puppet, you will probably have to peel off your skin.

Suddenly, Horn had a vague understanding of what DuPont was trying to do. Crying and sad, he said, "Teacher, are you going to let me fight against this steel puppet......

Du Pont nodded, his small eyes showed an approving look, and said, "In the future, you will fight against this puppet, no matter what method you use, as long as you can achieve it, you can start the next stage of cultivation." ”

Horn's head ached as he looked at the huge figure, this kind of golem was a magic-driven steel puppet, clumsy and unconscious, and only acted when the master gave the order. But this puppet is strong in one point, very strong. Its body is all made of magic steel, which is not only hard but also damaged and can be repaired automatically, and is engraved with a magic circle to provide the power to act. Most of these puppets are used in siege warfare, and the puppets are expensive. The only way to break it is to smash it, find the magic circle that powers it, and wipe it out to make it stop moving.

Horn estimated that he couldn't penetrate the layer of magic steel on the outside of the puppet at all, and could only use other weapons. However, he didn't understand what cultivation had to do with this puppet fight, could it be that Du Pont was rectifying himself?

Seeing Horn's dissatisfaction, DuPont asked instead of answering, "Why do warriors have ranks?"

Horn pondered for a moment and replied, "Isn't it because of the gap in strength?" ”

"Do you know what strength is?" DuPont continued.

This time, Horn didn't even think about it and said, "Strength is a combination of strength, speed, agility, reflexes, defense, skill, etc. ”

DuPont was satisfied with Horn's answer and said, "Yes, the rank of a warrior is determined by these basic factors. As long as these capabilities are improved, they are equivalent to increasing their strength. ”

"Everybody knows that. I just wanted to ask what this has to do with my strength?" Horn couldn't help but say.

"Hehe, it's related. There has always been a Miao legend throughout the continent that says that when a person is born, his qualifications determine what kind of course he can achieve. DuPont said.

Horn and the whole continent know about this, but why does DuPont say that it is a legend of Miao? Horn was puzzled and said, "Are you saying that this legend is wrong?"

DuPont nodded, shook his head again, and said, "This legend is both true and wrong. Why do you say that. This starts with the structure of human beings...... Man himself is made up of a soul and a body, and if there is no body, only a soul, then it can only be called a ghost. And if there is a body without a soul, then it can only be called a dead body. Only by combining the two can one become a "person". The main difference between human beings is the soul and the other physical aspects. According to the research of some arcanists, there are differences in the appearance of people, but they are exactly the same in terms of construction essence. That's the Force. Even if you are born with a defective body, there will always be a "Force" hidden in your body. As long as there is a "Force" that exists and can be developed, there is a possibility of becoming a high-level martial artist. That's where that legend goes wrong. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The right thing about this legend is in the soul aspect. Everyone knows that the soul realm belongs to the realm of gods and demons, and humans don't know much about this aspect. And the soul is the key to determining whether you can become a magician or an arcane. But the soul is fixed at birth, and no one can change it, so this legend is correct in this regard. ”

Horn listened to DuPont's words and fell into deep thought. I think DuPont has a point, but there is one thing that DuPont doesn't know. A thousand years ago, there was already a genius magician who developed the method of changing the human soul, and he realized it in himself. Of course, Horn couldn't argue with Dupont.

Dupont watched Horn ponder, thinking he thought he was making a big fuss. After all, that legend has been passed down for thousands of years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At that moment, he said, "You don't believe it, do you......? Do you know what level I am now?"

Horn was stunned, he didn't believe it, and was about to explain.

DuPont has already continued on his own: "I'm fifteen now. There are not many people in the entire continent of Censis who can achieve this distance. According to the legend, people like me are also geniuses, right?"

Speaking of this, DuPont's usual smile converged like a profiteer's smile, and said with a very stern expression: "Do you know. Before I was twenty-five years old, I was only level six, only a little higher than you are now. ”

This time, Horn was really incredible. He hadn't heard of anyone who hadn't broken through the sixth-level limit and developed the Force before the age of sixteen could reach the heights of a high-level martial artist. Generally, at the age of sixteen, Qian can't develop the Force, so at most he can only reach the Cheng dù of a mid-level martial artist. Now what DuPont is saying is either a dead lie, or he has some amazing means.

Surprised, he asked, "Then how did you do it, teacher?"

Dupont's small eyes stared at Horn for a long time, and said slowly: "Between life and death...... People will not explode their potential until they are in a desperate situation. If you are not in a desperate situation, you will not know how much potential you have. I just pushed myself to the brink to get to where I am today. ”

"Desperate?" Horn whispered, deep in thought.

"Yes, like yours, it's about the same as I was back then. If you want to reach a high-level martial artist, you have to force your potential out. DuPont said.

Horn believes that potential can burst out in a desperate situation, and there is only one point, if there is no potential to explode in a desperate situation, isn't it equivalent to looking for death.
