Chapter 16: Practicing Spells

The Dharma Arena is a place for disciples to practice spells, but there are very few people in the Dharma Arena in the Qingsong Temple, because for those disciples who have not yet started, the most important thing now is to advance to the middle stage of Qi training, to reach the standard of joining the Qingsong Gate, and the rest of the things can be put aside for the time being, so naturally no one comes here to practice spells.

Zhang Zhiping came to the law arena and first practiced the fireball technique. The fireball technique required the recitation of five syllables, and he did not use the five visceral gods at first, but pinched and recited the mantra like an ordinary monk, and it took a full five seconds for a fist-sized fireball to take shape. Zhang Zhiping didn't release it immediately, and after about three seconds, he felt a little uncontrollable fireball, so he threw the fireball at the target ten meters away, and a wooden puppet was instantly blown apart, and the rest of it also burned.

Spells are really a magical thing, Zhang Zhiping slowly recalled the process of casting spells: when chanting the spell, the power of the soul fluctuates continuously in the order of syllables, and finally combines to form a soul power containing unique fluctuations; 。

Estimated through keen perception, the temperature of this fireball is about 1,000 degrees, due to the first practice, the combination of spells and mudras is not too good, and the connection between them is not smooth, the power of the fireball has been greatly affected, if it can be cast smoothly, the power should be increased a lot.

Zhang Zhiping performed the fireball technique again, this time the temperature of the fireball was about 1,200 degrees, and the distance from him was only half a meter, but he did not feel any heat. But if you throw it out, it's powerful enough to break a person's bones. Zhang Zhiping carefully observed and found that when the fireball was around him, the fireball was very stable and restrained, and would not release any heat, but as the fireball moved away from him, it would gradually become unstable, and if it encountered any obstacles, it would explode immediately.

The distance of the fireball release also has a certain relationship with his own perception, Zhang Zhiping can slightly control the fireball within eighty meters of his own perception, which is about the same as his own subtle perception distance; the speed of the fireball flying in the air is not extremely fast, it takes about a second to fly to ten meters, but it can be accelerated by mind, but at present, it can only reach a speed of one second and twenty meters at most, which is far less than the flight speed of sword qi.

Zhang Zhiping's repeated experiments with the Fireball Technique quickly increased the casting speed to less than a second, and then it was difficult to improve it in a short period of time. It takes a second from the fireball technique to complete an attack within twenty meters, which is barely the same as the speed of a sword qi attack cast by a low-level magic weapon; this is just the simplest fireball technique, and as the spell level increases, the spell will take longer and longer.

Zhang Zhiping frowned, picked up the Xuantie Sword, and with a light wave of input mana, the wooden puppet ten meters away broke with it, and almost no time was wasted in the middle; It's just that in the middle stage of qi refining, the monk can also practice a magic weapon control technique, which can control the magic weapon to attack out of the body, although it is not as convenient as using the divine mind to control the magic weapon in the foundation building period, but the attack range is not under the spell, the speed is incomparably faster, and the power is not much inferior.

It seems that magic weapons are more suitable for combat than spells! Zhang Zhiping couldn't help but sigh, but he had a plug-in. Zhang Zhiping's mind moved, and the five visceral gods in his body then emitted a wave of fluctuations, and three fireballs appeared around him in an instant, circling back and forth, and there was no intention of dissipating after a full minute; controlling the fireball attack, the speed was even faster, not much weaker than the sword light, and he could also adjust the direction of the fireball attack at will, and it was only gradually out of control that it was eighty meters away; in addition, he also found that when the fireball was first formed, it could appear anywhere within eighty meters of him, and the temperature of the explosion was 1,500 degrees, which was really powerful.

Zhang Zhiping enjoyed controlling the nine fireballs flying around him, but soon discovered a problem, that is, the speed at which mana and soul power dissipated was too fast. The formation and control of each fireball need to consume some mana and soul power, and it will not reduce consumption because it is easy to control, and it seems that he can't give up the magic weapon in the future, and the five visceral gods can only be used as their own hole cards.

After a month, Zhang Zhiping began to practice other spells, after a series of experiments and comparisons, he found that most of the spells seem magical, but the actual principle is very simple, such as dust avoidance, why all the dust will be swept away under a spell, it is because after casting dust avoidance, an extremely light aura film will be formed, this aura film can not only cover the body to isolate the dust, but also release it. Since the power of the aura film is very small, it can only drive the dust, so a layer of aura film sweeps through, the heavier things are not affected, and the extremely slight dust is taken away, and it looks like it is naturally refreshed.

When Zhang Zhiping cast some spells such as water archery and ground stabbing techniques, he saw that these spells seemed to be able to turn into concrete substances, and he was extremely curious about this. After careful inspection, it was soon discovered that this was a use of both aspects of the nature of the aura itself. On the one hand, the spell jade slip clearly pointed out a sentence at the beginning: everything has aura. Since everything contains aura, it can be used to affect the aura, and then it can have an effect on matter, such as the ground stabbing technique, a ground thorn emerges from the ground, and after the earth attribute mana disappears, it will also leave a pile of broken soil in place.

On the other hand, Reiki can also temporarily become a substance and have all the properties of that substance. For example, in the Water Archery Technique, it is difficult to form a large number of water arrows if they are drawn from the air alone, and the water mana can be turned into water. Therefore, it is often seen that after a large number of water arrows destroy the target, there is only a small amount of water in place, which is because the water formed by mana has become a water aura again.

Reiki is really a bug in this world. Zhang Zhiping sighed secretly in his heart, he only studied these two properties of aura for the time being, and mana was formed by aura and inherited these properties. Many spells make use of both properties, and the same spell can also take advantage of both properties, such as water archery cast at the water's edge, which can be cast directly from the water next to it.

Zhang Zhiping studied the principles of these spells with great interest, and soon practiced the basic spells in the jade slip proficiently. The world of immortal cultivators is really interesting, Zhang Zhiping feels that he is becoming more and more addicted to it, spells are not just an attack method for him, but a way to express his appeal, he can't say what this appeal is, but he feels that he really likes these spells.
