Chapter 2
Talent Awakening
In the end, Wang Yumo never understood what Qin Ming meant by "feeling," just as Qin Ming never understood what he meant by "feel."
It seems there's a generation gap even among top students in different subjects.
Actually, it wasn't that Qin Ming hid anything, but rather that the order of the 999 lines of the intermediate spirit-gathering array was memorized by rote, a buff accumulated from decades of hard study in his previous life.
The angle of a line depends on your eyesight; my eyes are like a ruler. This is a talent, or what is called a sense.
As for the feeling Wang Yumo mentioned, Qin Ming said that he really did his best.
He was already carefully counting how many feathers each of the blackwater ducks had.
But as they frolic and play, they shed fur every day, and new fur grows every day...
There are still babies shedding their baby hair recently...
The overall number of hairs is dynamically distributed, and Qin Ming has not yet been able to figure out a reliable pattern or establish a relatively accurate and reliable data model.
As for the curliness of the hair and the size of the longest feather, Qin Ming had tried them all, but babies change every day, so those who know, know.
Qin Ming felt that although his eyes were a ruler, they weren't meant to be used like this; he was going to go blind.
While counting the number of hairs and calculating their curvature parameters, Qin Ming's comprehension of the formation progressed by leaps and bounds.
Although the results in the spirit beast identification class were still disappointing, there were some gains in the formation skills.
As for Wang Yumo, Qin Ming felt that he did not meet the prerequisites for learning, so it was normal for his progress in comprehending the formation to be a little slower.
-
The spirit beast identification course actually covers more than just the Xuan Shui Duck. In this world of spirit martial arts, there are many creatures with extraordinary potential for evolution.
However, high-potential spirit beasts that allow ordinary people to safely approach and form contracts with are extremely rare and precious. The Xuan Shui Duck at Yu Ling Middle School is one such example.
The water element is extraordinary, with a clear evolutionary pattern; proper training will lead to dominance at the peak.
With a bit of luck, becoming a Lord-level spirit beast is not a dream. You should know that even the teachers at Yuling Middle School don't all have a Lord-level spirit beast! This shows how precious they are.
This is also thanks to the strong support from higher authorities for Yuling Middle School in recent years, which has given more ordinary students a chance to rise to the top.
During his two and a half years in the afterlife, Qin Ming did everything he could to seize this opportunity, and it seems he has succeeded.
Late at night, Qin Ming continued practicing the Spirit Gathering Array.
Qin Ming felt that he was in better shape than ever tonight, because every line was so smooth, flowing and just right.
Become!
Although it was the expected result, Qin Ming did not expect that he would still have nearly one-third of his mental energy left.
It turns out that being meticulous and careful in drawing can actually deplete a lot of mental energy. Following your feelings and letting things take their natural course is the true way.
Qin Ming seemed to realize something; this feeling was absolutely right.
I need to have a good talk with Wang Yumo tomorrow and share my thoughts on success in detail.
Qin Ming carefully observed the translucent lotus flower in front of him, which emitted a faint fluorescent light, as if the air he was breathing had become fresher.
Close your eyes, quietly contemplate, and a moment of clarity will come to your mind, as if a glimmer of white light will suddenly appear deep within.
Exhale and open your eyes—
?
where is this?
Where is that huge, glowing spirit-gathering array?
Qin Ming suddenly jumped out of bed and saw the familiar table, chairs, and computer... Was he back?
But he doesn't want to come back!
He's been working day and night for two and a half years, and he'll be a Spirit Master soon!
Qin Ming opened and closed his eyes repeatedly in disbelief, then collapsed onto the bed, expressionless.
Some people are alive, but they are already dead.
Having lost my dreams, I'm just a walking corpse...
Qin Ming, who was in a half-dead state, suddenly discovered a white vortex deep in his mind that he had never seen before. Could it be... a talent?
The talent for self-awakening?
Qin Ming quickly stood up, sat cross-legged, and delved into his senses, discovering that the white vortex seemed somewhat weak.
In the darkness, Qin Ming learned of his own talent—time travel.
The culprit who brought me back was actually myself?
On the Spirit Martial Continent, most people's talents enhance the combat power of spirit beasts or help them grow, while a few others increase affinity.
Qin Ming thought about his talent. He had never seen it before. It seemed to be quite advanced, but it was completely useless for training spirit beasts!
Although I have awakened to self-awareness, it has been a lonely awakening. It is useless and I dare not say a word about it. What use is this talent to me?
Despite his complaints, Qin Ming calmed down once he realized he could travel back in time.
And began to ponder his own talent, after all, there is a saying that goes, everyone has their own unique talents... ah, no, there are no useless talents, only talented people who don't know how to use them!
If the time ratio between the two sides is appropriate, time travel can be understood as doubling the efficiency.
If it could be activated instantly, it might be a lifesaver.
Now that you mention it, it seems like this talent is actually quite something.
Qin Ming tried to concentrate his spiritual power. Good. Then he sensed the spiritual energy. Hmm? No spiritual energy? No spiritual energy!
What can be done if there is no spiritual energy?
Does the Spirit Gathering Array gather air?
Qin Ming sensed something was wrong; without spiritual energy, the extraordinary foundation of the Spirit Martial Continent was gone.
He had never realized so clearly that if the world he was in, Blue Star, truly had no spiritual energy, then spirit beasts could not possibly be born.
These are truly two completely different worlds.
As wisps of spiritual energy dispersed from my body, a sense of emptiness slowly arose.
Qin Ming slammed his hand on the table in frustration. "Hmm? This feel?"
When the finger leaves the table, a clear fingerprint appears on the solid wood desk!
Oh open!
The martial arts novels I read as a child, with their terms like internal strength and divine sense, still resonate in my mind. The ability to strike someone across a mountain, injure someone with a flying leaf, and leave no trace in the snow no longer seem to be just imagination.
Wow, that works!
This talent is amazing!
Qin Ming suppressed his elation and began to carefully sense the difference within himself. He thought, "Retract your power, retract your power. We are civilized people; we can't destroy our homes."
After Qin Ming managed to control his strength, he walked towards the full-length mirror in the living room.
Yes, spirited young men, just like all of you readers here.
Not being very skilled at using facial recognition to unlock my phone, my trembling fingers were afraid of pressing too hard.
It can still be turned on, so it must have been a while ago.
My memories from two years ago are not very clear, but the chat history ends yesterday?
Time difference?
Is it possible that one side is stagnant while the other continues?
Is a moment eternal?
If that's the case, then he's extremely satisfied with this talent!
