Chapter 15: Speed Reading and Meditation
Strictly speaking, the spell 'Quick Read' can only be classified as a magic trick, after all, only spells that have reached level 1 can be counted as magic, and the spell 'Quick Read' is only level 0.
The reason why it is classified like this is because the difficulty and requirements of this spell are really low, and the use of elements and techniques are completely as crude as magic tricks, and the knowledge involved is quite simple.
Therefore, even if the mental strength of a junior magic apprentice is enough, it can be easily learned.
But the effect of this magic is astounding! it can speed up reading by five to ten times, and quickly remember what you see, and this memory is so deep that even in the past few years, it is almost like carving it in your head with a carving knife.
The magic was born from a mistaken spell cast by Levine Bernat, when the failed spell was eaten up by the spirit power that rushed directly back to his brain.
But unexpectedly, perhaps due to the favor of the god of magic, the spiritual power did not destroy his consciousness and make him an idiot, but instead followed a strange route in his brain to his eyes, causing his brain and eyes to form a unique circuit.
Levine Bernat began to rummage through the spell book to find out the reason for his failed spell cast, but he was surprised to find that he was able to read quickly and memorize the contents of the spell book for a long time.
After realizing this result, he carefully groped for the effect of the accidental formation of mental circuits in his brain. The circuit is very simple, and it can be completed with very little mental power.
For a magician who is born to rely on controlling mental power to eat, this is a simple thing, even a magic apprentice who has just mastered mental power and has undergone simple training can do it.
He summed up this present and created the zero-level magic of 'Quick Reading', and relied on this spell to advance by leaps and bounds on the road of magic, leaving countless geniuses behind.
It wasn't until after the death of the lucky magician that the descendants revealed this magical magic when he was sorting through his magic notes. Then the magic was spread and changed forever.
However, because of the broom of this magician named Levine Bernart, his name was not enshrined by the magicians, but only a simple record in the history of the magic exhibition.
Xu Yue estimated that he would only need more than twenty days at most to improve his spiritual power through the Guò Basic Meditation Technique to a level where he could learn this spell. So he wasn't worried that he would delay a year in learning these languages and scripts.
The previous twenty days were just the right time for him to lay a good foundation.
You must know that even learning language and writing does not depend on reading and memorization alone, and the understanding of basic knowledge still needs to be carefully studied.
After talking to Ugarit, Xu Yue began to study with him the next day. The whole life has become very regular.
After eating the breakfast that Mary had brought to his house in the morning, he went to Ugarit to study for four hours. After lunch, take three hours to begin to consolidate and comprehend what you have learned.
Then the rest of the time was entirely devoted to him meditating.
Truth be told, the situation during the first meditation took him by surprise.
According to Oward, whether a person can become a magic apprentice depends on two things, one is whether the person can feel the magical element, that is, the legendary elemental affinity attribute.
This is crucial, after all, you can't even feel the magic element, so what magic is there to learn.
A person with a higher magical affinity can manipulate more magical elements with less mental power, and it is easier on accuracy than someone with a lower magical affinity.
Another point is the strength of the person's mental strength.
Although mental power can be improved by meditation, if a person is born with weak mental power, then the improvement effect of meditation will also be very poor. People may meditate to increase their mental power by 100 a year, and people with weak mental power may only grow to single digits.
In the end, after studying magic for more than ten years, people with strong mental power can gather a large number of fire elements to smash people with beaded fireballs, while people with weak mental power can only release a small flame even if they are desperate, so what else can they learn.
Therefore, people with weak mental strength will not achieve much even if they learn magic, which is recognized in the wizarding world.
Xu Yue only closed his eyes and meditated for less than two minutes according to the method of basic meditation technique during the first meditation, and suddenly felt that the sea of light points of various colors gathered around him submerged his whole body, which meant that his elemental affinity was very high, and he was highly metamorphosed.
According to Oward, a moderately gifted magic apprentice should only dimly feel some sparse spots of light near his head during his first meditation. Even some geniuses can only feel a little more of the range of light points, at most a hundred or ten, not like he sees a sea of light points.
But when he used his mental power to control these points of light, the situation surprised him even more. He used all his spiritual power, and he could only control two points of light.
This shows that his mental strength is pitifully weak, not even as good as Talumia's ten-year-old child.
In this world, magic apprentices can control more than ten points of light at a time even if they have very poor qualifications for the first time meditating, those with medium qualifications can control more than twenty to thirty points, and those with very talented spiritual qualifications can control ten or even hundreds of points of light at most.
But fortunately, Xu Yuexian, because of the high affinity of the elements, he was four or five times faster than the record of ordinary magic apprentices, and as long as the light points that could be caught could be perfectly absorbed. And the absorption ratio of magic apprentices in this world ranges from ten to one at the ordinary level to five to one at the genius level.
I calculated in my heart that the final result of my absorption of magical elements was not as good as the most genius person in this world, but it was three or four times more noble than an ordinary level magic apprentice, and the result was not bad.
But he still has a headache, if it's just meditation, it's nothing, after all, the efficiency of his meditation is not bad. But once it comes to casting spells, your poor mental power will be a hard injury. Even if there is a magic affinity to make up for it, there will be a dilemma that because the mental power is too scarce, only one or two magic spells will be consumed.
To Xu Yue's relief, in the following month, his spiritual power growth was not as slow as Oward said because of his low basic mental power.
On the contrary, like the geniuses described by Oward, his mental strength rose like a rocket. However, this situation began to slow down after more than twenty days, and has now been reduced to the level of an ordinary magic apprentice. Now his mental power is about a little stronger than that of a mid-level junior magic apprentice, but it can't compare to those geniuses.
The so-called cause is effect, Xu Yue does not believe that the experience summed up by Talumia 6 with tens of thousands of years will be overthrown by himself. So there must be some reason for this strange way of increasing his spiritual power.
After disproving many assumptions, he attributed the cause to the thin magical elements of Earth.
Many fish farmers know that if a fish that has been left in an oxygen-deficient environment for a long time is suddenly released into oxygen-rich water, the fish will become much more active than a fish that has lived in an oxygen-rich environment for a long time.
If the fish is seen as a human being, and oxygen is regarded as a magical element, then the fact that he was born in him can be explained.
Humans who grew up on Earth are very sensitive to magical elements because they have lived in thin magical elements for a long time. Once you come to a place with a high concentration of magical elements like Talumia, this sensitivity will make people feel the magical elements around them very clearly. This is also the reason why Xu Yue's magic affinity is so high.
And we know that among the many magical elements, some special magical elements can promote and strengthen the opening of the brain, and have a certain strengthening effect on the body, which is also the basis for meditation to improve the spiritual power of magicians.
The humans of Talumia have been thriving in this high concentration of magical elements for hundreds of thousands of years. Even most ordinary people don't know how to meditate.
However, just by relying on the natural contact and integration of that special magic element into the human body, after countless generations of accumulation, their spiritual power and physique are far beyond those of earthlings.
This is also the reason why Xu Yue's mental power is no different from that of Talumia's humans when he meditates for the first time.
The same meal, for a person who has been hungry for more than ten days and for a person who is already full, in terms of food absorption efficiency, it is obviously the person who has been hungry for a long time to absorb the food more efficiently.
This also applies to magic elements, and Xu Yue, as an earthling, is the one who has been starved for more than ten days, so after he absorbs the same amount of magic elements, the growth of his spiritual power will be far beyond the level of the great human of Talumia.
Of course, no matter how hungry people are, there will always be a time when they are full, and when everyone is full, then the absorption efficiency can only depend on the talent of their respective bodies.
This is why his mental power gradually slows down and becomes smooth after a period of high growth. At this time, his brain and physique had grown to a limit due to the special magical elements absorbed by the meditation technique. If you want to grow again, you can only be like the magicians in this world, and honestly rely on meditation to slowly improve.
Xu Yue summed up the things he reasoned about, if his inference was correct, then he was a pervert of the affinity of the magic element, but his mental power could only be regarded as a medium-level talent.
The magic element affinity and spiritual power have complementary effects on magic cultivation, so on the whole, his talent is still good, and a certain kind of Cheng dù is not much different from those geniuses.
Today is the twentieth day of Xu Yue's study in Ugarit, and the scholar is very satisfied with this serious student, even if the relationship between the two sides is only transactional, but a studious student is obviously more satisfied with the teacher. Therefore, Ugarit is very attentive in teaching.
Seeing that the studious young man had finished the last grammar exercise he had assigned today, he smiled and said, "I have taught you all the basics of learning the Carthusian language, and the next thing you have to do is to read and memorize a lot, but I believe you are ready for it, aren't you?"
Xu Yue put away the notes on the table and said respectfully: "Yes, Ugaritic scholar, through the twenty days of study, I can already understand some Carthusian characters, so the spell of 'read quickly' can already be learned." For this reason I would like to borrow some books in Carthusian script from you to increase my reading, and of course I will pay the gold coins for the borrowing of the scribe according to the rules. ”
Ugarit waved his hand and said, "I have prepared some books for you, you can just take them back and study." As for the gold coins, there is no need to pay them, after all, it is the best reward for a scholar to see a young man who is full of thirst for knowledge to study passionately. ”
Xu Yue did not insist on this, but calmly accepted the kindness of the Ugaritic scholar, which made the old scholar's attitude towards him a little more kind.
"You don't have to be so early in the morning. From today onwards, all you have to do is come to me every morning for two and a half hours, and this time is reserved for you to ask questions. The rest of the time is reserved for you to read and memorize, you can write down words and characters that you don't understand, and I will use this time to answer for you. Ugarit said with a smile.
After thanking the Ugarit scholar again, Xu Yue packed up his things and left.
Today was a special day for him, and after twenty days of meditation, his mental strength had finally reached the basic requirement of learning the spell of 'fast reading'.
Moreover, after a certain period of study, he also mastered some Carthusian characters and languages, and was able to understand some simple words.
In order to have a full spirit to learn the first spell in his life, he returned to the house at noon to take a nap, and in the afternoon he did not study, but wandered around the streets of the town, saying hello and chatting with the town he knew while strolling.
In the evening, he returned to his house and began to learn the first spell of his life.
