The next day, Wright got up early, had breakfast, left the college while the college opened in the morning, and got on the early morning carriage to the imperial capital.

No. 31 Blackwater Street in the Western District of the Imperial Capital, the secluded place of the Holy Domain Magister Cromwell.

When he met his teacher for the second time, Wright still felt a little unreal. Was he really a disciple of a powerful man from the Holy Realm?

However, Holy Magister Cromwell didn't say much. After letting Wright sit down, he started to explain magic straightforwardly.

"Before learning magic, let me ask a question first: What exactly is magic? Wright, you have also been learning magic for four or five years. Please tell me your own knowledge first."

"Well, teacher, the textbook says that magic is the power of human beings to use magical elements between heaven and earth to convert them into power that can act on reality!"

"It's a standard textbook answer. Of course it can't be said to be wrong. After all, I edited that book."

"..."

"Haha, let's get back to the topic. What is magic? The answer in that textbook is just a standard answer. Different people have different ideas."

"Some people regard magic as a means for them to gain strength, money, power, and even the favor of the opposite sex. This is not wrong, but this kind of thinking is somewhat established."

"Some people regard magic as the continuation of wisdom, and think that people who are powerful in magic must be very wise. In many literary and artistic works, magicians are white-haired grandfathers full of wisdom. However, I have also seen many magic powers that are not powerful.

Weak, but a fool who only has power in his head."

"Wright, tell me with your intuition, what exactly is magic?" There was a hint of spiritual power in Cromwell's words, which made Wright speak involuntarily.

Suddenly, Wright seemed to have returned to four years ago, when he first came into contact with magic when he entered school, and his excitement and desire for the unknown and the magic of artifacts.

Going back to five years ago, his adoptive father was so excited when he knew that he had a strong magical talent. That was the first time he saw his calm adoptive father showing such an ecstatic expression.

Six years ago, when I accidentally heard that my biological parents were killed, I felt helpless and impatient. I wanted to take revenge, but I knew that I was powerless. Even if I wanted to risk my life, I was worried about the pain of hurting my adoptive parents.

I was in a trance and returned to the distant past, back to my dream, where I was alone against the blood of countless enemies. I wanted to kill the thief but was unable to save my life and cried out.

A voice emerged in Wright's heart.

"Magic...is power!" Wright said to his teacher seriously, his tone extremely serious.

"Oh, magic is power..." Cromwell's tone was flat, "How to say it!"

"When people live in this world, they have relatives and friends who need to be protected. This requires strength."

"When people fight against each other, they will always form grudges. Understanding grudges requires strength."

"Whether it's the warrior's fighting spirit or our magic, it's all power! The pursuit of power is not for the sake of power, and the same goes for magic."

After finishing speaking, Wright showed a trace of anxiety on his face. He didn't know whether this answer satisfied the teacher, but this was his true thought.

"That's a good answer!" Holy Magister Cromwell smiled.

"Actually, it doesn't matter what your answer is."

"Whether you think magic is wisdom, or you think magic is a tool to gain power and money. The key is not the answer, but the determination to pursue this answer!" Cromwell chuckled: "Whether it is to become a magician or a warrior

They are all the same, with the same talent. As long as you have the determination to practice to the end, you will definitely go more smoothly. I have seen businessmen who are thirsty for money and need force to protect their wealth and eventually become holy warriors. I have also seen businessmen who are thirsty for wisdom and finally become holy warriors.

A scholar-magician who has entered the holy realm."

"This is the first lesson for you, the determination to practice magic!" Holy Magister Cromwell's tone suddenly changed, "Of course, you just need to keep these in your heart first, and there is no need to talk about your determination to practice magic.

side, but will be implemented in your future practice."

"Now, let's start learning magic formally!"

"Leave aside the illusory concepts of determination and will, what is the most essential requirement for magical power?"

"Mental power!" Wright thought this was an objective question that awarded points.

"Yes, it's mental power!" Cromwell said with some approval, "Spiritual power can be regarded as the foundation of a magician. The liquefaction of mental power means that the magician has entered the seventh level, and his mental power is extremely powerful.

The soul manifests, and life can easily enter the holy realm."

"Of course, it's not just mental power. In addition, there is the step of refining magic elements to form magic power. But this is relative to those magicians with low talents and medium or lower element affinity. Can enter

There is no student at the Royal Academy of Magic who has a poor affinity for any element. Refining the elements just takes some time!"

"You also know the basic way to improve your mental power, meditation. Use meditation to consume your own mental power, and then pass."

"The rate at which meditation enhances mental power increases with the intensity of one's own mental power. According to this rule, when the mental power is 31 times the standard of peers, starting from the age of 12 and meditating in a saturated way, it will be approximately 482

You can enter the Holy Realm level when you are old!"

"However, there are at least fifty or sixty geniuses with super spiritual talents every year, but a Holy Magister may not be born in fifty or sixty years!"

"This is because as your mental power improves, you will often encounter a barrier that is difficult to improve—that is, a bottleneck!"

"Spiritual power has a bottleneck between each level, and the bottlenecks from level nine to holy realm, and level six to level seven are the most difficult."

"Yes, it is the bottleneck. Let's not talk about those with mediocre talents. For any magician who is aspiring to the holy realm, the two transformations of spiritual power from level six to level seven, and from level nine to the holy realm, are

The biggest obstacle on the path of a magician’s practice.”

"If I remember correctly, the current method of breaking through bottlenecks in the standard textbooks in the academy is to 'strengthen your mental power through meditation as much as possible, get close to the limit under the bottleneck, and then go out to wander, ahem, to experience and contact the world.

life, hunting monsters in the Jedi, and then sublimating one's spiritual power in battle or life'."

Wright's admiration for the teacher increased even more. He didn't expect that the existence of Tangtang Sanctuary was so clear about the textbooks of students like them.

"What I made up is all nonsense."

"Oh...Ah?!" Wright suddenly felt that his teacher was a little out of tune!

Seemingly finding it interesting to tease his students, Holy Magister Cromwell grinned.

"Although it is said that there are bottlenecks in the improvement of mental power every time, for a magician like you with some talent, there are only two real bottlenecks, from level 6 to level 7, the liquefaction of mental power; from level 9 to Saint

Realm, the manifestation of soul form!”

"For you now, the Holy Realm is still a bit far away. I mainly talk to you about the step from level six to level seven."

"To raise your mental power to the seventh level, firstly, you must persistently improve your own mental power. The stronger your mental power, the better you can break through and overcome the bottleneck. The ways to enhance your mental power are not limited to meditation. After reaching the bottleneck, you can use other methods

Improve spiritual power! For example, I know an Earth Holy Magister who is good at improving his spiritual power by carving statues, and my lineage also has the practice of controlling flames and visualizing flames."

"When the mental power is raised to the point where it can no longer be improved, and it is completely full before the current state, the more accumulated it is, the more the total amount of mental power will eventually exceed the seventh-level threshold, it will naturally become a seventh-level magician easily."

"Either, relying on instant stimulation, such as on the line between life and death in a battle, in some kind of enlightenment, the mental power increases instantly and breaks through to level seven. Once the breakthrough occurs, the mental power changes and stabilizes, and then the mental power can be improved.

The total volume is naturally very fast.”

"Of course, it's more of a two-pronged approach. The stronger your mental power is, the easier it will be to break through with the second method."

"Of course this is the way to break through from level six to level seven! It's also the one closest to what you need."

"As for the ninth-level breakthrough to the holy realm, I will briefly mention that the key lies in 'perception'!"
Chapter completed!
