Chapter 25 I Hate Students with Special Talents
Meditation is a fundamental method for magicians to replenish their mental energy and regulate their magical flow.
Generally speaking, as long as a magician can calm down and eliminate distractions, they can enter a meditative state in any posture. Some like to lie on a rocking chair, some are used to soaking in warm water, and some eccentric alchemists even hang upside down from the roof beam, supposedly to allow blood to flow to the brain and improve thinking efficiency.
Therefore, there are no uniform requirements for meditation postures in the magical world.
Non-human magicians, such as Meow Leon, adopt a squatting posture. Actually, it originally wanted to lie down and meditate, but found that it would often fall into a sweet sleep within a few breaths, so it had to change to a squatting posture. Although it was not as comfortable, at least it would not fall asleep as quickly.
However, among human magicians, the most common posture is still cross-legged sitting, with legs crossed, hands resting on the knees, back naturally slightly bent, and eyes slightly closed. This posture is stable and easy to maintain for a long time, and it does not attract attention like the upside-down pose.
But now, Leon had never seen Lorne in this meditative posture before.
Although it is similar to a typical cross-legged meditation, the hands are not placed on the knees, but rather palms facing up, naturally placed on either side of the body, with fingertips slightly spread, as if supporting something. The feet are the same, with the bare soles of the feet facing the ceiling, and the spine is also straight.
Palms of both hands, soles of both feet, crown of the head, all facing upwards.
"What kind of new genre is this?"
Meow Leon tilted his head, his cat face full of confusion.
He spent a year at Silver Academy and saw countless students meditating. Some were very proper, some were dozing off against pillars, and he even saw a senior student floating in mid-air like a jellyfish while meditating, but he had never seen this posture before.
What surprised it even more was that Lorne seemed to have entered a special state at this moment.
He wasn't emitting any spiritual power, yet the surrounding magical elements seemed to be drawn to Lorne, slowly converging towards him as if something about Lorne was particularly attracting them.
Is the Four Elements Resonance really that popular?
Meow Leon stared at it in disbelief for several moments, feeling somewhat annoyed.
If we were to give magical elements a personified characteristic, they would certainly be proud and reserved, the object of a magician's requests. The power of magic comes from the resonance between the spirit and the elements. Those with high spiritual affinity might express "Please respond to me, element," and the element would come. Those with low spiritual affinity might say, "Please, elemental grandma, come here."
Even so, it depends on whether the element is willing or not. There are many cases where you can shout until your throat is hoarse and the element won't even glance at you.
Now, these elements are actually moving closer to Lorne on their own?
Damn it, he hasn't even successfully achieved enlightenment yet, and he can't even extend his spiritual power out of his body!
Can you please stop with this double standard?
The face of the cat, Jazz Meow Leon, is very complex.
I hate students with special talents.
The only thing that made Meow Leon feel a little better was that Lorne's mental affinity was low; even if elements offered themselves up, he wouldn't establish a connection with them quickly.
Time passed slowly, and the eastern sky began to lighten.
A line of pale white seeped from the edge of the deep blue sky, like someone using a brush dipped in light ink to gently sweep across the very edge of rice paper. Then the white gradually spread out, turning into a light orange-pink, and then transitioning into golden-red.
Dawn is breaking.
As the first ray of light squeezed through the crack in the horizon, crossed the sea of clouds, passed through the windows of the dome, and slanted down on Lorne, who was already prepared, he immediately followed the method recorded in the "First Light of Dawn Spirit Guiding Technique," holding his breath and focusing all his thoughts into his body.
As the morning light fell upon his brow, the spiritual root within his body, which had been dormant for days, seemed to awaken. It trembled slightly and absorbed the ray of morning light. The incantation of the Spirit Guiding Technique flowed through his mind, each word transforming into an invisible guide, directing the entering light to travel along specific meridian routes.
Although he had never been exposed to cultivation techniques before, the moment he comprehended the "Dawn's First Light Guiding Spirit Technique" yesterday, it was as if he had practiced this technique hundreds of times before, only to have forgotten it for a long time, and now he had finally picked it up again.
Feeling the effortless control, even at this crucial moment, Lorne couldn't help but marvel.
This "one-click comprehension" feature is truly amazing!
The morning light never newly entered, but descended along the chest and abdomen, passed through the dantian, split into two streams, traveled along the legs, and reached the Yongquan point on the soles of the feet. Then it turned back, ascended along the spine, passed through the Mingmen point, Jiaji point, and Yuzhen point, and reconverged at the Baihui point on the top of the head, completing a full cycle.
Beside him, Meow Leon stared in disbelief.
It witnessed Lorne absorb that ray of light into his body, and then it meandered through his body. Every obstacle he passed through seemed to have some special meaning, which he couldn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.
"Absorbing elements into the body and circulating them within it—I've never heard of such a meditation method before?"
The morning light was brilliant and poured down. Lorne was bathed in the morning light, guiding the light through his body. Meow Leon looked at him with surprise and doubt.
As the light sank into his dantian and floated there quietly, transforming into a tiny star, Lorne felt as if his entire being had become clear. The thin veil that had separated him from the elements was completely torn away, and he felt as if he could merge with the elements—no, now it should be spiritual energy.
By now, he can be considered a Qi Refining stage cultivator!
However, this is not enough. Next, we need to absorb more spiritual energy to consolidate our cultivation.
He took a deep breath.
hum!
The pent-up spiritual energy around them seemed to have finally found an outlet, rushing towards Lorne impatiently. The light was dazzling, and under Meow Leon's perception, it was as if countless channels had opened up on Lorne's body, and spiritual energy poured in like a tide. In the distance, tiny elemental vortices could be vaguely seen rotating on his body!
This scene was completely different from when he used his mental power to sense magical elements before. Previously, his mental power affinity was only level six, which was nothing special.
And now, he possesses top-tier talent, with five elemental spiritual roots!
buzz~
The surrounding elements went almost frenzied, rushing towards Lorne recklessly, like humble subjects finally meeting their emperor, with millions of subjects cheering and embracing him as he returned to his body.
The fact that even the proud magical elements were so eager to possess him was unheard of. Meow Leon was utterly shocked, feeling as if he were hallucinating.
"What exactly did he do to the elements? A level six affinity—why would that drive the elements so mad?"
Meow Leon stretched out his paw and rubbed his eyes hard, making sure he wasn't dreaming:
"He actually absorbed all of these elements?! What kind of meditation is this?!"
It had a completely horrified expression on its face, felt its mouth dry and was in a dream. It had only ever heard of magicians being able to guide and manipulate elements with their mental power, never of being able to absorb all the elements directly!
