Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Selene
Selene’s stature is not tall, and his hair is a conspicuous diterranean, making his image look rather poor.
But this did not cause the wizard apprentices in the classroom to look down on him; they all sat respectfully and quietly in their seats, waiting for the class to begin.
Many wizard apprentices had already taken out feather pens and notebooks, preparing to record important points of knowledge and information at any ti.
Wizard Selene placed so docunts on the table, smoothed the few remaining strands of hair on his head with his hand, and then looked forward, raising his head and saying: "We will start the class in three minutes, those who haven’t co, we won’t wait."
When the class begins, the door to the tiered classroom will automatically close, and then no one can enter.
Selene apparently knew that these wizard apprentices were often late, so he intentionally waited three more minutes.
At this ti, a series of hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor outside the door, and several wizard apprentices sprinted to the entrance of the classroom, looking slightly panicked, then randomly found a seat in the back row.
As the door closed, the class officially began.
Selene didn’t use a textbook; he ca to the blackboard and began teaching from the origins of the ditation Technique, covering many things unrelated to the Deep Blue Tide ditation Technique, which are pre-knowledge of ditation techniques.
In ancient tis, humanity still existed in a tribal form, and wizards were generally a high-status presence within a tribe.
They could communicate with the gods through ditation, thereby gaining certain abilities.
The ditation Technique was also born in this process, and later it was no longer necessary to communicate with gods—rely relying on personal ditation practice could obtain powerful strength.
This is the origin of wizards, belonging to wizard history-related knowledge.
As wizard civilization exploded, wizards gradually discovered that the so-called gods were no more than powerful individuals.
"Wizards began to move out of the Wizard Plane to hunt gods and seize resources in other planes, which led to the gradual strengthening of the current Wizard Plane. I won’t elaborate further on this, as it pertains to knowledge of planes, and if you’re interested, you can learn more by yourself," Selene said.
Duke also heard so related news; Black Sail has many wizards, but internally, you don’t see many.
This is because most wizards are actually active in various planes, and those staying inside Black Sail long-term are the minority.
Duke has never seen the scenery of other planes, nor does he know what those places would look like.
It is said that the minimum requirent for going to other planes is being a Level 1 Mage, as only first-level life can adapt to the complex environnts of other planes.
At level one, one can have basic self-preservation capabilities in other planes without becoming a burden.
These things seem distant to Duke; for now, he must silently grind proficiency, focusing on growth.
"Most of you present are newly entered wizard apprentices; mastering the ditation Technique makes you a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice. But if you wish to beco a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice, your spiritual power needs to reach 15 points..."
The Spiritual Power Scale Compass Duke saw earlier is already quite outdated; over the years, many finer spiritual power testing tools have developed.
The spiritual power tested by these instrunts is roughly similar to what Duke’s skill tree displays.
Duke calculated that fifteen points of spiritual power are needed to reach the threshold of a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice.
It seems soone with ten-level wizard quality is born at this threshold.
Selene continued, "However, I do not recomnd that you rush to breakthrough just upon reaching the threshold. Instead, strive to upgrade as much as possible to the point of your utmost capacity before breaking through. This way, the success rate is higher and more importantly, it enhances your future potential..."
Selene spoke of theoretically the best advancent thod—every ti before advancing, upgrade to the utmost capacity possible.
Advancing all the way from Level 3 Wizard Apprentice can thus maximally excavate one’s potential and pave the way for future developnt.
But this is just theoretical, practically it is difficult to achieve.
Most people have already exhausted their minds just to raise their spiritual power to 15 points, making further advancent quite difficult.
Not everyone can progress with re ditation; many people cease improving spiritually once they reach a certain point, where ditation seemingly bears no further effect.
At this point, only by utilizing special asures can spiritual power advance.
This is one use of magic potions—they allow individuals to break through limits, facilitating the advancent process.
Duke then related this to his skill tree; his physical attributes were similar too.
Initially, grinding ordinary scythe skills could still gain him so attribute points, but later these ordinary skills stopped providing attribute enhancents.
This marked reaching a limit of sorts; only by grinding higher-level skills could progress continue.
The sa logic applies to spiritual power—the later stages are increasingly difficult to improve.
Watching his remaining three free attribute points, Duke increasingly felt their preciousness.
For him, advancent pressure decreased considerably, at least he didn’t have to worry about failing to et the threshold.
When ditation no longer boosts spiritual power, he too can use free attribute points to forcibly enhance it.
Many wizards would go to extre asures to enhance their spiritual power.
These asures often co with severe side effects, which is one reason the wizard community frequently produces "eccentric individuals."
"This lesson is approaching its end, does anyone have questions for ?" Selene asked as he looked at the wizard apprentices ahead.
Duke pondered for a mont and raised his hand to ask: "Mr. Selene, may I ask if during ditation, is it better to absorb single-elent particles or absorb multiple-elent particles?"
Lately, he has pondered this during ditation, as his high-level water elent affinity talent caused most of his absorption to be water elental energy particles. He wondered if this thod could pose issues.
Selene’s eyes brightened, and he glanced at Duke, saying, "That’s a very good question, I’ve read so research papers regarding this in the Arcane Mage Monthly."
"Regarding this question, it actually splits into many scenarios. Firstly, it can be confird that this thod won’t lead to major downsides, though there may be certain restrictions. For the wizard apprentice stage, absorbing single-elent particles indeed allows faster practice."
"However, so people cannot manage to absorb only single-elent particles, nor control this aspect, unless belonging to specific races with unique talent. For instance, elves can mostly absorb wood elental energy particles..."
