Chapter 676 Playing with Sand

"quiet!"

After Lyon sat cross-legged, Director Sagittarius looked around at the shrinking cleaners in the square, and then his face darkened. He pointed at Lyon and shouted:
"Come and sit down! Sit next to him!"

? !
Sitting next to the God of Cookery? This...

"Hurry up! Sit close together one by one!"

Seeing the cleaners who were so afraid of Leon that none of them were willing to get close to him, Director Sagittarius's face suddenly turned black.

"I'll count to five. Anyone still standing after I finish will be deemed to have given up the Sagittarius Palace's mystical arts selection. Get out of here!"

Seeing that the shooter director was angry, several cleaners who had not been touched by Lyon had no choice but to bite the bullet and move over, taking a position close to Lyon.

Someone sat down in the most dangerous place, and the other cleaners, who had an extra layer of "firewall", felt as if they had been pardoned. They scrambled to sit next to these cleaners, and finally everyone was seated before the countdown ended.

As the short female cleaner and Abigail sat down in the last row arm in arm, the air around them suddenly became extremely hot. The originally empty square was replaced by an endless sea of ​​sand. Gusts of dry, scorching winds blew in with handfuls of coarse yellow sand, hitting everyone's faces and causing them to feel pain.

"The selection of Pisces Palace will begin in two hours, and two of you have been recognized by them. Time is limited, so I will make it short."

After finishing his opening remarks, the Archer Director, who was sitting on the sand dune, reached out his hand and caught a handful of sand from the wind. He then said to the crowd who were unable to open their eyes due to the sandstorm:
"Among the twelve zodiac secret arts, Sagittarius's [Abnormal Enhancement] secret art has the lowest threshold and is also the easiest to get started with, but it also has the longest period of interruption. To sum it up, it is easy to learn but difficult to master. The lower limit is extremely low but the upper limit is also extremely high. I estimate that half of you can get started.

However, your quality is the worst I have ever seen. With your will and talent, it is possible that not even one of you will be able to truly learn the secret technique and be recognized by the Star Palace."

Like all teachers in the world, after giving a PUA speech about the "worst class", Director Sagittarius threw away most of the sand in his hand, leaving only one grain, and then said with a stern face:

"Now follow my example and pick a grain of sand from your hand... Remember, you can only choose one!"

After all the cleaners braved the wind and sand and picked up a grain of sand as he instructed, Director Sagittarius pinched the sand with two fingers and began to twist it slightly, then sat upright and closed his eyes.

"Next, mobilize all your senses to feel this grain of sand, understand this grain of sand, and remember this grain of sand..."

Memory is a grain of sand...

After hearing Director Sagittarius' rather abstract description, Lyon couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

It seems that after we remember this grain of sand, Director Sagittarius will not ask us to throw away the sand and then find it back in the entire desert, right?
Unfortunately, although the practice process of the Archer's secret technique was extremely abstract, there seemed to be no other way. The cleaners, including Leon, had to bite the bullet and follow the Archer Director's instructions and began racking their brains to figure out the sand in their hands.

If I have to describe the characteristics of this sand, it is yellow, hard, a bit coarse, and if you pinch it with your hands, it can leave a small mark on your fingertips... and then it seems to be gone.

"Have you memorized everything? If so, let's move on to the next step."

Without caring about the progress of Leon and others, Director Sagittarius did not even open his eyes, but sat directly in the sea of ​​sand, saying expressionlessly:

"Next, gather your soul, focus your will, and mobilize your emotions... Compress everything about you as a human being to the limit, and make it the same size as this grain of sand..."

"Sir Sagittarius." At this point, someone finally couldn't help but ask cautiously:

"I still don't remember the sand completely. Can you give me some hints? For example..."

"Wow."

Along with the sound of flowing fine sand, the cleaner who had just asked the question mysteriously turned into a piece of yellow sand, which scattered in the strong wind and disappeared without a trace.

"One person exits."

After signing up calmly, Director Sagittarius did not even bother to explain and continued speaking:

"Compress everything about you until it is as big as a grain of sand, and then imitate the real sand in your hand, constantly modifying everything inside of you, so that the two can be brought closer to each other..."

Oh my god, does that mean that if you ask just one question, you will be directly regarded as having no talent and forced to be eliminated from this mystical selection?
After seeing the fate of the first one to stick his head out, the cleaners couldn't help but look stern, and then no one dared to speak anymore.

In the whistling wind, everyone began to memorize the sand in their hands and, according to Director Sagittarius' instructions, frantically compressed their souls, wills... and some other messy "inner" things and made their inner selves move closer to the sand.

This time, Director Sagittarius became much more patient. He did not urge anyone, but closed his eyes and waited.

After nearly an hour, Director Sagittarius opened his eyes again and clapped his hands. A dozen figures with chaotic auras immediately turned into yellow sand and dissipated, directly withdrawing from the selection.

"Well, those who don't have strong enough willpower and can't focus everything on themselves have all left. You who are left should be able to barely get started."

Looking at the remaining half of the cleaners, Director Sagittarius finally smiled a little on his tense face. After observing the people who were working very hard, he lowered his voice and said:
"The reason why I chose to teach you the secret art of archery here is to tell you a truth. Even the most ordinary and common sand in the world, which can be found almost everywhere, each grain is unique... For example, mine."

At this point, Director Sagittarius threw out the sand in his hand. After leaving his palm, the tiny grain of sand suddenly expanded countless times and directly became the size of a basketball. After being magnified countless times, the sand that originally had no characteristics actually became special.

"This is a grain of sand that collapsed from gneiss. Due to wind erosion, the surface is smooth and sharp, and the grain size is relatively uniform. It also seems to have collided with mica rock, and there are some extremely fine scratches here..."

After slowing down his speech and explaining the characteristics of the sand he had chosen in great detail, Director Sagittarius shrunk it back to its original size and continued:

“And the first step of the Sagittarius Abnormal Enhancement Secret Technique is to create another grain of sand that is as identical as possible within ourselves, based on our ‘understanding’ of this grain of sand.

What we need to do next is to overlap the 'abnormal sand' we just created with this grain of real sand, and use our inner self to strengthen its 'existence'.

If you can complete this step, without destroying the original structure of the sand, strengthen all its characteristics, and turn it into a sand that is even more "sandy" than the original one, then you will have completely mastered the secret art of abnormal strengthening."

"..."

Make sand into sandier sand...What if I don’t have sand?
After listening to the explanation of Director Sagittarius, seeing that no matter how hard he pressed, it was still dark, and even occasionally there were two dog barking sounds, the corners of Lyon's mouth twitched violently.

This extremely abstract way of learning... I might as well be asked to find sand in the desert!
