They walked along the school's path and then to the lakeside where they had casually chatted the other day.
"Many system abilities rely on spiritual power, such as the major categories of systems related to 'Mind Reading System' and 'Charming System.' You have spiritual power defense, but you lack the means for spiritual attack. I don't know if you can cultivate it, but I'll guide you, and how much you can learn depends on you,"
Elder Luo leaned against the pavilion's railing, gazing at the tranquil lake surface. Seemingly without any movement, an invisible ripple suddenly spread out from him, merging with the lake water.
Humm!
Suddenly, the lake water roiled with bubbles emerging, followed by several "plop plop" sounds, as countless carp floated to the surface, belly up, appearing to be stunned.
"Incredible!"
Xiang Beifei's eyes lit up!
He could see Elder Luo's system, and this type of spiritual power attack was not given by any of Elder Luo's system abilities, but purely through his own spiritual fluctuations, forcibly stunning the fish.
"This kind of remote spiritual attack is very effective against crucial people or desolate beasts, such as Meng Huai, who can only appear in dreams. Of course, your spiritual defense is strong, so they might not drag you into a dream, but if you encounter a team member in the wilderness entangled by Meng Huai, you must actively go into the dream to save them, and at that time, it would be difficult to manage without brute force in the dream,"
Elder Luo explained.
"I understand, so how should I cultivate?"
Xiang Beifei really didn't know how Elder Luo had managed this, which was also his shortcoming. Others had system assistance, possessing various cultivation techniques, but he needed to learn on his own, trying to make up for any potential weaknesses.
"Actually, spiritual power is also a type of spiritual power; it just transforms spiritual power in your brain into another form. Therefore, you need to guide this spiritual power through meditation, using your own thoughts," pointed out Elder Luo, pointing at Xiang Beifei's head, "You can try to imagine."
"Imagine?"
"Imagine that you can make it move out of thin air. Originally, I just stared at a piece of paper, thinking in my mind, move... move... move... and then it started moving."
Elder Luo chuckled.
How does it sound like self-hypnosis?
Xiang Beifei stared at Elder Luo's system interface, [Spiritual Power: 732], and grinned wryly, thinking, 'Are you sure it's not just system enhancements?'
But on second thought, Elder Luo's system enhancements only increase the intensity of one ability, not create it.
Meaning, Elder Luo adjusted his spiritual intensity to 732, which just means the intensity of his spiritual attack is 732. But if his spiritual power is not trained to the point of external projection, even if the spiritual attack intensity is adjusted to 56 million, it won't be able to be exerted.
The strangest thing was that his vision comprised only the seed shell; he couldn't see any other scenery.
"This is a method to enhance vision. I've adjusted your perception to focus on the seed shell. Remember the spiritual power I guided inside your body. In the future, you can also try to guide it using your own spiritual power. Of course, you can learn to block out your other senses, such as—"
Elder Luo flicked his finger again, and the foreign spiritual power moved into Xiang Beifei's ears in a very subtle manner. In an instant, the world became silent, devoid of any sound.
Xiang Beifei marveled at Elder Luo's control of spiritual power, which seemed effortlessly capable of blocking his perceptions.
"I should be able to learn this method of circulating spiritual power."
Xiang Beifei pondered, planning to try mastering this technique next time.
However, for now, as Elder Luo had blocked his hearing, he still needed to focus his spiritual power, step by step.
With the world becoming quiet, nothing could distract him; in fact, it was nearly impossible to be distracted since his vision contained nothing else but the seed shell, which Elder Luo allowed him to see.
"It's okay, take it slow. When I mastered this initially, it also took me almost a month. Don't rush it too much,"
After conveying his voice to Xiang Beifei, Elder Luo went offline.
"Let my spiritual power emanate from my mind, focusing on the seed shell..."
Xiang Beifei, contemplating Elder Luo's words, stared at the seed shell in his hand and began practicing the spiritual power technique Elder Luo had taught him.
He tried for a long time without success, but Elder Luo patiently guided him.
While Xiang Beifei was cultivating, Elder Luo was counting how many white clouds drifted over in the sky, how many leaves fell from a tree in a minute, and doing other mundane tasks required by the system.
Elder Luo was getting stronger nearly every moment, and in Xiang Beifei's view, this "Leisure System" was truly formidable.
—
For three consecutive days, Xiang Beifei came to Liangzhou University to study with Elder Luo. He also practiced at home, but without Elder Luo's guidance, he couldn't achieve complete concentration.
Gradually, he felt as if something extra existed in his mind, the strands of spiritual power slowly swirling within. He vaguely managed to display the spiritual power in his mind in a special way.
However, a problem arose; although the spiritual power was deployed, it drifted around aimlessly without any aggressiveness. He needed to reconcentrate the spiritual power.
On the fourth day, Xiang Beifei finally got the trick. He succeeded in levitating the seed shell using his own spiritual power! Moreover, he inadvertently discovered that he had gained a deeper understanding of this ability.
