Chapter 45: Advanced ditation
“You’re a freshman monitor?” the short-haired woman said, shocked.
“Cough. I’m an acting monitor,” Xiao Lin corrected her.
The short-haired woman ignored it. “A monitor indeed. Tsk, we were being disrespectful before. You won’t penalize us, will you? I’m Wu Qin.”
This woman seed ordinary, but she acted generously. She grabbed Xiao Lin’s hand and shook it, then said with a flirty voice, “So, you’re here for Zhang Tingting?”
Xiao Lin shook his hands. “No, no, no. I’m here to practice ditation.”
Zhang Tingting glared at the few who made noise and asked in curiosity, “Why didn’t you go to the freshn’s ditation room? Although the sophomore ditation room has a stronger elental cluster spell; it doesn’t help much for freshn who have yet to reach Elentary ditation. It’s not as effective as the freshn ditation room.”
Xiao Lin asked dubiously, “Is...is this really the ditation room?”
Dozens of faces in the classroom seed embarrassed in that mont. Zhang Tingting was also speechless; only Wu Qin seed to be okay. She shrugged and said, “To put it simply, our ditation level is relatively lower. Get it?”
Xiao Lin understood it then; he felt embarrassed. If these people were gathered in schools on Earth, they would have a more direct na: poor students!
Everyone was at the sa starting point when they first entered as freshn. Apart from the talented recruits, it was still hard to tell good students from the bad ones in the first year. However, it was clearer in second year.
It was no wonder that these people would co to the ditation class on weekends to chat and eat snacks. Xiao Lin thought that they were probably letting themselves rot.
Wu Qin caught Xiao Lin’s expression and angrily said, “Do you actually think that we’re giving up on ourselves? Tingting just said that the sophomore ditation room is made for people in the Elentary ditation level. Understand?”
Xiao Lin understood it better now. These were the poor sophomore students, and they were also not at the Elentary ditation level. They did not want to go to the freshn’s ditation room; maybe they thought it would be too embarrassing for them.
Xiao Lin’s eyes brightened. If this group of people were all at Basic ditation, then it would et his requirents. The Academic Genius talent was imdiately activated and he began to search for skills.
[Basic ditation LV6; evaluation grade F; replicable]
[Basic ditation LV8; evaluation grade F; replicable]
[Basic ditation LV7; evaluation grade F; replicable]
[Basic ditation LV10; evaluation grade F; replicable]
...
Unsurprisingly, these people were stuck at the Basic ditation level. Moreover, he found his candidate for a LV10 Basic ditation—it was Wu Qin.
Xiao Lin’s gaze was sharp. Wu Qin raised her brow and teased, “Monitor, why are you looking at like that? Are you into ? If you profess your undying love, I might consider you.”
Xiao Lin was speechless. Before Wu Qin misunderstood him further, he looked away and said loudly, “I’m going to start ditating. Seniors, can you give a few minutes? Yes, just three minutes!”
He had no choice. ditation training required a silent environnt; otherwise, it would be hard to focus on sensing the elents. If they did not cooperate in this noisy classroom, it would be impossible to do anything.
Wu Qin retracted her sarcastic look. “You really want to ditate? Right here?”
“I’m not joking.”
Zhang Tingting did not believe him. “What’s your ditation level?”
“Basic ditation LV0.”
Xiao Lin did not want to lie about that, but he sparked a louder uproar. Dozens ca over.
“Basic ditation LV0? Oh right, freshn have only been here for a week; it’s normal.”
“After a week’s worth of classes, you must’ve had at least two ditation classes. What’s your XP?”
“0 EXP. I know what you all want to ask. I’m not at the threshold yet,” he replied obediently to make the seniors keep quiet for a while.
“It’s useless. With that ditation level and not reaching the threshold to train it yet, you won’t get any effects, even if you went to the senior ditation room.” Wu Qin shook her head and stopped everyone else’s questioning.
Wu Qin sighed. “Fine, you have a few minutes, but know that the ditation room’s energy-gathering magic does not work better with higher levels.”
Everyone nodded in agreent; they looked at Xiao Lin with pity and compassion. Not many people were making fun of him, likely because they could relate. When they first reached the threshold to practice ditation in freshman year, they spent a long ti gaining XP for ditation. However, before they could celebrate, they realized that they were still far behind the others.
It took so talent to be a good mage after all.
Xiao Lin was speechless; he felt that the more he explained himself, the more they would misunderstand him. Thankfully, he was promised a few minutes; it was more than enough.
[Activating the Replication Skill!]
[Target: Wu Qin!]
[Basic ditation LV10, evaluation grade F]
[Successful replication!]
Xiao Lin sat down with his legs crossed. He did not even bother looking for a mat. He only had three minutes to train with the replicated skill, so he was not going to waste any ti.
He shut his eyes, cald himself down, and focused.
This ti, it was easier for him to enter a state of full ditation. Xiao Lin found it very different from his last ditation. Although his eyes were shut, it was no longer pure darkness around him; there were countless grain-shaped stars shimring in the darkness. It was like a bright galaxy decorated with twinkling lights.
He tried to catch them, but the stars blinked like naughty children running around. They were erratic. Xiao Lin failed after several attempts and he beca a little annoyed. He thought to himself that if the stars could co over to him, that would be great.
Then, the grainy stars began swimming toward Xiao Lin...
As they got closer, Xiao Lin noticed that these bright spots actually ca in four colors: red, blue, yellow and green. They intertwined and surrounded each other. The red spots were violent and hot, the blue spots contained purity and coldness, the yellow spots gave off stability and solidity, while the green spots were embellished with lightness and agility.
Xiao Lin suddenly understood that these were the four elents of nature—red fire, blue water, yellow earth, and green wind.
The feeling was very peculiar. The elents were completely invisible and intangible normally, like molecular atoms on Earth that were impossible to observe with the naked eye. The ditation state was like a microscope, allowing people to enter this wonderful microscopic world to feel the magic of the elents.
In fact, everyone would have a different understanding of magic. For example, Gu Xiaoyue believed that the essence of magic was like programming, while Xiao Lin believed that ditation was observing the microscopic nature of the world.
They had different ways of understanding it, but the results were similar.
Three minutes flew by in his ditation state. When he reluctantly opened his eyes again, Xiao Lin found that his skills felt different.
The LV10 Basic ditation disappeared after the replication ti was over, but Xiao Lin’s contact with the four elents during ditation was unforgettable.
[Basic ditation LV1: 50/100]
His ditation XP directly increased by a 100 XP!
