Chapter 765 The power of arcane magic, three stages! (22)

Tara 774, May 5th, early morning.

Setar Empire, Nanling Province, west of the Onyx Plain, Xiahui Territory, the place favored by the Dragon God.

[Crossing the majestic mountains in the west to the deep valleys and lakes, the wind is blowing, the breath of the mountains is blowing, the shadow of the dragon flies across the sky, and the green and dense forests are rolling with thousands of leaves...]

Bards walking in Nanling, apart from the sensational ditties in their late-night taverns, must also have a few melodious and simple long songs. Among them, "Land of the Dragon's Family" is a sacrificial song widely sung by the mountain people. The popularity of the song is so wide that even the Mountain People's Independence Union wanted to use it as the national anthem after independence.

200 years have passed, except for some people among the mountain people who still remember it, most of the Nanling people don't know that what this song "Land of the Dragon's Family" actually describes is Xiahui Ling.

And in the "Deep Valley Lake Land" in the song, in a flat land north of Xiahui Lake, the students of the Xiahui Ling Experimental Training Camp are training.

The training camp is located by the river, and along the river, you can vaguely see four or five agricultural buildings gradually rising around Xiahui Lake.It is said that before the end of this year, all twelve high-rise buildings will be completed, and a batch of more than twenty agricultural buildings will be built in several "natural source quality gathering points" around Xiahui City.

Of course, not all natural source quality gathering places will build agricultural buildings.Some were ordered by the Alchemy Workshop, and some were already the forges of the Xiahuiling New Weapon Development Center.

And some more... like now.

It was built as a training camp for all young people of the right age and gifted adults in the territory for 'training'.

blah blah blah...

The 65 trainees were divided into three groups, and they performed three different trainings in the playground and in the pool next to the river: '[-]-kilometer morning run', '[-]-meter freestyle round-trip' and 'Introduction to Breathing'.

Because of the superior physical fitness and life essence of the Taila people, after a month of scientific diet and reasonable training, all the trainees have vigorous movements, well-proportioned bodies, vigorous energy and vitality, showing vitality.

Even the students who were weak and even malnourished before have been conditioned and revived. They can shout slogans in full spirit while running, and can persist in swimming for more than a dozen round trips.

On the contrary, in theory, the "introduction to breathing method" that sounds the simplest has stumped many students. Even if there are teachers who teach patiently and follow through, there are still many people who have no way out.

"The breathing method does not increase your strength. What it does is to develop your original strength and become easy to be controlled and sensed by you."

A calm voice sounded on the playground. The blue-haired instructor with a long sword on his waist said to the 22 students who were kneeling on the rattan mat in front of him and meditating with their eyes closed: "Breathing methods are different, and some require meditation. , some require the rise of qi and blood after exercise, by grasping the subtle 'rhythm' between body muscle contraction and blood vessel pulsation, gradually sense those flowing particles in the body, those 'ears of wheat in the light'."

"The 'tide-rising breathing method' that you practice is the breathing method that is widely circulated in Jingge Cliff, the land of warriors. Those who practice this breathing method need to welcome the beating of the tide and resist the erosion of the tide. The fluctuation of the blood flow in the body, and then grasp the initial induction of the source quality."

"Obviously, you students aren't good enough - let you chickens go into the sea and drown within three hours!"

"And our great lord has optimized this breathing method, so that you only need to exercise at high intensity for an hour, and then you can enter the state of 'tide rising' and practice the breathing method!"

The Haiyan instructor's voice was like a bell, his tone was not impassioned, but it was as powerful as a tide, pouring into the ears of all the students at the same time.

And his gaze was even sharper like a sword. When he swept across the students, all the students had closed their eyes, but his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if someone hovered a sword in front of his forehead, an inexplicable feeling Let them pay attention subconsciously.

As the second sublimator of the second energy level in the territory, Qing Chao came here as the master trainer, which is enough to prove that Lord Ian attaches great importance to the training camp.

And these 65 students have indeed lived up to their attention. All of them know that they have got a god-given opportunity to learn the way of sublimation, which is hard to find in the outside world, so everyone has a spirit of 12 points, as if Like a wrung-out sponge, she tried her best to absorb the knowledge taught by Aoshio.

There were 66 students in the first batch of the training camp, and one of them did not come to the training. This was not because he was lazy, but because this student had another very important job, which was to cooperate with the Xiahui Institute of Biological Research to conduct research.

Among the remaining 65 people, nearly half of them are Bai Zhimin, and the rest are locals from Xiahui.

This is also very normal. Rather, it is unbelievable that the lord is willing to allocate half of the quota to outsiders other than his own family.

The sea tide breathing method is indeed a very efficient breathing method. It has been passed down for hundreds of years in Jinggeya and has not been eliminated. Repaired and perfected, optimized details.

And Ian's optimization has strengthened this breathing method to a small peak... As long as you exercise yourself to the point of extreme physical fatigue and keep your mind clear, anyone can start practicing.

"Even without taking potions, human beings can exercise their bodies to the limit, and they can be very powerful. It is said that in Yanjiang, there is a part of the ancient sublimation inheritance, which requires the practitioner to exercise the body to the limit, so that the internal organs and the body are tough. Incomparable, you can wrestle with giant bears, human beings at that time are like Bison giant bulls, even if they are not monsters, their strength can surpass some weak monsters!"

Qingchao's teaching voice was full of energy, and even the morning fog around the training ground was blown away: "I don't have that high demand on you, but in the next more in-depth courses, you need to sharpen your body to a certain extent."

"If the foundation is not solid enough, even if the lord gives you a chance to practice, you will be seriously injured or even die because you can't bear it!"

die.This word said that it did make all the students who were exercising slightly stagnant, and even the sound of breathing subconsciously paused.

Since they signed the "Assisting Experiment Contract" a month ago, all the students are very clear that they have become the "experimenters" of the young Lord Xiahui, and the other party's generous gift is actually their own life remuneration in exchange.

But... so what?In the place of Terra, being able to sign contracts and carry out transactions fairly and justly is already regarded as a moral saint among noble lords.

Not to mention, in the past month, all the students have eaten the healthiest and most nutritious meals, and the training they have received is also the most formal and effective secret. class.

You know, even blacksmith apprentices may die of exhaustion while studying, let alone sublimation skills?
Qingchao glanced around and found that none of the students had the idea of ​​really retreating, so he couldn't help nodding in satisfaction.

"As expected of the 66ers carefully selected by the boss."

He was very happy in his heart, but more of his admiration for Ian: "The boss told me that only 400 of the 66 people could be cultivated. I didn't believe it at first—how could there be such a large number? When Jinggeya was learning martial arts, it would be great if fifty people out of 1000 could persevere!"

"But I never thought that during this month's rigorous training and cultural lessons, not a single one of the 66 people was left behind!"

Yes, the training camp not only includes physical training and breathing training, but also simple teaching of mathematics, alchemy, inscriptions, geography, history, common language logic and mechanical engineering, etc., aiming to cultivate students' understanding of the world. Knowledge and thinking logic.

In addition, before going to bed at night, the students in the training camp also meditate, and even ask to use meditation instead of sleep.

Ordinary materials, after being tossed about like this, have long been sluggish, and even cried and wanted to go home.

But among the people selected by Ian, even if there are a few who are suffering and tired, they are just talking about it. In fact, everyone is very patient and tenacious, and they can hold on no matter how hard they are. .

Now, I have fully adapted to this way of life!
This ability to see people with one hand really makes Qing Chao feel very moved... He himself is an example. If Ian hadn't given up on teaching him, Qing Chao would not have grown to where he is today, and even surpassed his own swordsmanship. Talent extends in many ways.

The training in the training camp is actually just the first step.

This group of students are all highly adaptable to artificial souls and relatively tough inside.

For Ian, it doesn't matter whether he is talented or not, since no one can surpass him anyway.

The peak individual certified by the silver chip is so confident!

What Ian needs is actually a piece of 'popular research data', that is, to what extent can the body be exercised by 'relying on simple efforts and sufficient nutrients', and whether relying on simple efforts to practice meditation can rely on calculations Use power to adjust the trace source quality in the body, and help those who sharpen their bodies to the extreme, break through the "first energy level" that theoretically needs to rely on "magic medicine" to break through.

If it can be achieved, then this "first energy level" that can be advanced through simple hard work and practice can be used as the first step of the arcane path "Minghun"!
The so-called bright soul is to polish the soul through meditation, so that the soul is clear and bright, forming a preliminary calculation power structure, which can feed back the body, control every detail of the body's operation, break the limits of the human body, and display the power of ordinary people in every move. A powerful force that cannot be exerted.

It is not relying on the power of monster medicine to break through the limit, but relying on the power of the human body to self-breakthrough and self-sublimation!

And then, the second step of the arcane path is to 'Congeal the Void'... to condense the computing power of nothingness, build the source matter structure in the body, and condense the initial prototype of the 'source matter core'... and then use The power of soul and computing power builds a sublimation structure around the source core, completely surpassing human beings, and turning oneself into a superman!

Of course, it's still too early.

If there are ten levels to advance from ordinary people to Minghun, then the most talented psychic Myers among all the students is only the third stage. Even worse. .

Although he has a good swordsmanship talent, his body lacks too much. Even if he has spiritual power to make up for it, he still needs to work hard to achieve self-breakthrough.

In fact, the so-called self-sublimation without relying on Warcraft materials is not Ian's original intention.

The reason for doing this is because the territory is poor (compared to the target), and there is no potion material for more than 60 people, so I can only practice this way first to see the situation.

After all, in the eyes of a true genius like Ian, the power of monsters and the power of humans are both powers, and there is no difference at all. As long as they are all handy in his hands, there is no difference at all.

But the power that ordinary people exercise bit by bit is indeed easier to adapt to than the power obtained suddenly by taking potions... Moreover, the process of training this power is also a kind of adaptation to the power of sublimation. After going through such hardships Even if a practitioner of the arcane path takes potions, the speed of adaptation will be faster than that of ordinary ascendants.

This is the benefit of being assisted by artificial souls and meditation... As the true core of the arcane path, the existence of artificial souls is simply a small cheat compared to other normal sublimators.

After all, according to the path of a normal sublimator, the soul is a good thing that can only be possessed by the second energy level!

This is also the reason why Ian is determined to prostitute the technologies of the major forces of Terra for nothing...God knows how many years it will take for him to develop these technologies by himself.

It's better to go whoring directly and use it in places that are more needed and more meaningful than the original owners of these technologies!
"There are a few good students who can report to the boss and focus on training."

After finishing the morning training, Qing Chao handed over the teaching task to other knights, and he himself took note of a few outstanding students in his mind, intending to report to Ian and apply for resources for key training.

After all, these little guys will be his team in the future - as the master trainer of the training camp, even if these students will not work under him in the future, they will have to accept Qingchao's mentorship!

"These days, there is more and more hope!"

With such a happy mind, Qing Chao came all the way to the Lord's Mansion.

However, just when he reached the bottom of the cliff, the swordsman's keen sensing ability made him aware of something wrong.

"Boss is communicating with people?"

A few hundred meters away, Qing Chao, who used swordsmanship to carve his own soul as a meditation, cultivated a powerful soul, his eyes flashed. He looked at the Lord's Mansion on the top of the cliff, and frowned slightly: "The other party... is also at the second level! And... More than one person, and a third energy level?!

"Two forces? Yes, one of them is very familiar... Yes, it is the elder Manya from the Dragon Worship Sect. Why did he come to our Xiahui leader in person?"

"And the other one is from the empire. It smells like medicine. It's from the Alchemy Association?"

If Ian knew that the progress of Qingchao's meditation had reached such a level that he could see through the real body of a sublimated person in the distance at a glance, he would definitely feel that some people are really unreasonable.

What the hell is using swordsmanship to carve souls, this 'sword carving meditation method' actually made Qing Chao complete it!

But now, he has to face invitations from the elder Manya of the Dragon Worship Sect and the envoy of the Imperial Alchemy Association.

As for what it is that will cause both parties to invite him at the same time...

Of course, there is only the big event of 'Exploring the Institute of Alien Species'!
