Terra calendar year 766, late seventh month of the Flooding Flame.
The seventh day when Ian awakens his past life memories.
For the imperial people in the border areas, except for the nobles, basically no one can figure out what month it is today. At most, they can only rely on some notices and announcements from churches and city halls to tell which month it is roughly.
The upper half or the lower half.
After all, they have no holidays or statutory rest days. They have to work for survival every day, and the specific time and number of days are meaningless.
Ian doesn't like this vague feeling. He has always liked to plan time accurately, but unfortunately, these days, he has not figured out what day it is in July. He can only roughly judge that it should be July now.
The second half of the month is one of the months with the highest tides.
For people with lawful obsessive-compulsive disorder, this feeling is like drinking yogurt without licking the milk cap clean, and having water on your sleeves when washing your hands, which is quite uncomfortable.
However, Ian has no time to worry about these trivial matters.
Because, he has been ‘taking classes’.
Since four days ago, Ian showed some of his true psychic abilities and his talent in condensation of source seeds.
Hilliard, who made up his mind to demand Ian at the highest level, began to teach the boy everything about the Ascendants in detail, as well as common sense courses including history, geography, and even culture and art.
The history of the empire, the history of the Terra continent, the laws of the empire, the terrain of Nanling Province, the empire’s sphere of influence and the distribution of forces in various countries...
Ancient Terra mythology, imperial folk customs, the categories of Nanling aborigines, the special customs of the people and the sensitive points that need attention...
Etiquette that conforms to proper etiquette, the secret words of the Ascended, basic information on various Warcraft and their weaknesses...
Finally, there are many tips on spiritual practice.
Among other things, Hilliard is quite experienced in cramming teaching. During these four days, he taught Ian a lot of precious knowledge every day, striving to make Ian master the path to sublimation and other aspects in a short period of time.
cognition in this aspect and become a normal sublimator.
"This is all knowledge I summarized when I taught those noble brats. It is necessary and cannot be omitted. As long as you learn it, your knowledge reserve will be no different from those of the blood nobles, or even better."
This is the exact words of the old knight, and he is very satisfied with Ian who studies seriously. Not many of his past students are willing to study these 'boring things' seriously. Those naughty and impatient little guys are eager to start in the shortest possible time.
Regarding the practice of the path to sublimation, I always find these cultural classes boring and boring.
On the contrary, Ian, as a civilian, could fully understand the importance of this seemingly boring knowledge, soaking up all the information like a sponge, and even regretted that the knowledge was too concise and condensed and not detailed enough.
What teacher doesn't love such studious students? Hilliard is naturally willing to incorporate his decades of experience and lessons into the curriculum bit by bit, so that the boy can avoid detours in the future as much as possible.
Ian was not satisfied with this.
Just studying in class is nothing at all, and it is even quite easy for him, who has been a professional engineer in his last life and has to take three certificates every year.
What's more...who said it's boring?
This is knowledge about another world!
For Ian, who pursues the unknown and is curious about extraordinary things, just listening to the common sense of these other worlds is enough stimulation that he can't help but clench his hands and listen carefully every time he comes to class.
It's like a setting party has bought a long-awaited setting collection, so how can they find the content boring and boring to ordinary people?
He wanted to memorize every word Hilliard said!
What's more, in this world with underdeveloped social structure, this knowledge is obviously the private possession of the nobles and will not be disclosed to the common people. It is private and can only be learned by big families and powerful forces.
As long as he can learn these things, there will be no decisive gap other than resources between him and those nobles who are one step ahead of him and are superior.
Four days are far from allowing Ian to catch up with the real sublimators and nobles in this world who have been studying since childhood. The accumulation of source of food since childhood cannot be compared.
But at least, the current Ian is no longer the boy who was ignorant and almost ignorant of the way of sublimation.
Around Harrison Port, coastal beaches.
A moist warm wind blew across the beach from the sea, carrying the smell of heavy rain about to fall.
For most Terran people, July in the Flame is the beginning of the hottest season of summer. Residents of villages and towns around the Flame Land will even hide in their underground tunnels to avoid the scorching sun and hot wind.
But for residents along the southern coast, the name of this month may be a bit inaccurate, because from July to late autumn after midsummer, abundant rain and frequent typhoons will wash over this land over and over again. Only the last
Tough giant trees and houses made of rocks can withstand this test.
Under the clouds, with the sea breeze howling, a white-haired boy was jogging along the tidal line of the beach, carrying a small bucket.
His movements were smooth and natural, his breathing was very rhythmic, and his steps were as light as if he had not touched the ground. With just a slight touch, he had already run forward several meters. His body was like a spring, strong and flexible.
Ian is undergoing daily practical training every afternoon. After he initially mastered the breathing guidance during meditation, Hilliard asked him to use the guidance method to breathe during any exercise to adjust the direction of the essence in the body.
.
After all, when exercising, the blood flow around the person's body will accelerate. If this power is also exercised, the body will be active and the mind will be peaceful, it can greatly accelerate the condensation of source matter.
This is also the basic quality required for sublimation in combat. The more the sublimation can maintain a stable flow of source material during intense movements, the better it can ensure an advantage in battle.
According to the old knight, when Ian officially becomes an Ascended One and has his first sefirot organ, he will teach Ian a specialized training technique and a matching special guidance technique.
According to that kind of refining method, sublimated people can quickly restore their own source of energy reserves, but it consumes too much of the body. Not only is there no benefit to ordinary people using it, but it will squeeze their own life potential and cause life danger.
Compared with that kind of wonderful training method, Earth's training techniques are detailed and comprehensive, but they are not completely applicable to Terra, who has extraordinary power.
Huhu, Ian was jogging, but his breathing was steady. His face looked much better, and there was some color under his fair skin.
This is the result of eating fish and meat every day in the past few days, combined with medicinal herbs, fruits and vegetables, and exercising. It is also a manifestation of the spiritual energy activating the excellent physical talents of the Terran people.
This kind of jogging has lasted for three hours, but Ian feels that his physical strength has not been exhausted at all.
On the contrary, he became more and more energetic, and the blood flowing all over his body became more and more free, and the subtle sound of blood flow could even be heard in his ears.
For sublimators, it is difficult for ordinary people to quickly replenish the consumed source of energy with food, but the efficiency is not as low as Ian imagined.
Perhaps it’s because Terra plants use more sunlight than Earth. Even ordinary berries contain far more nutrients than their counterparts on Earth. The staple food is full of grains, of high quality, and has a rich aroma. It’s simply not like this.
The quality that this era should have.
For high-level sublimators, the food of ordinary people has no edible value, and they need blue mist-level extraordinary ingredients to replenish their combat consumption.
But for a sublimated virtual source species like Ian who is still nourishing his body, eating more is completely enough.
Maintaining continuous breathing, Ian still had enough energy to activate his 'Precognition Vision' from time to time. In a radius of 100 meters centered on him, many white or gray mist emerged and manifested on the beach.
"Ha, there's a razor clam here!"
His aqua eyes glanced across, and with a soft smile, Ian found his target.
