Chapter 712: Comprehending Divine Art - Mental Pressure
Kashen's eyes were slightly closed, and he entered into a state of meditation in a sleeping position, his whole body aura as heavy and condensed as water.
He entered a state of meditation for three days, his mind wandering away from the world. When he opened his eyes again, the light in his eyes was restrained, as if there were thousands of arrow trajectories flowing in them - this was a sign of a small enlightenment, and he had finally mastered the art of archery arithmetic, and the foundation for precision shooting had been laid.
It takes an ordinary archer years of practice to be able to hit the target from a hundred paces away. This is due to muscle memory honed through thousands of times, and the instinct honed from countless times of drawing the bow and string.
When asked why an arrow hits the target, the answer is simply "feeling", which is mysterious and hard to explain. But Kashin is different. What he wants now is not only to "hit the target", but also to "know why he hit the target".
Therefore, in his eyes, the path of archery is no longer just a pile of intuition and experience, but a set of precise rules that can be disassembled and calculated - what is the distance? What is the wind speed? What is the initial velocity of the arrow? All these variables converge and become clear formulas in his mind. Once the arrow is shot, the trajectory is determined in advance, without any error.
This is what magicians believe: everything in the world has its own rules. If you can't convince people with reason, no matter how mysterious your skills are, they are just castles in the air. Kashin was deeply influenced by this.
The way of magic is the knowledge of controlling the elements of nature. If one can understand the true meaning of magic, mortals can be as powerful as gods. And the foundation of all this lies in the law.
After waking up, he looked at his pocket watch and realized it was late at night, so he got up and took a shower. Blainey had piled a lot of food at the door, apparently afraid that he would starve. Seeing this scene made Kashin feel happy.
She should be meditating at this moment. To be honest, Blainey is more serious than anyone else, and she still manages the magic tower and the business without any delay. Her progress is far ahead of other magicians of the same age, and she still does not delay anything.
I ate a lot of food in a flash, looked at the time, and started cleaning, waiting for dawn...
It's not that Blainey can't afford to hire an apprentice to take care of the training space, it's that there are many secrets here, so she chooses to be alone. Cleaning is a training subject for Blainey. She can accurately control the wind to clean up garbage and move lighter objects. Her strength is getting more and more subtle...
About two hours later, Bryony woke up on time. After washing up and walking out of the room, he smelled the vanilla drink and smiled knowingly. The big boy was out of confinement.
After arriving at the hall, I saw Kashin writing, and I couldn't help but nod my head. The only shortcoming of this big boy is that he has no knowledge. Now he is always reading and writing, and he is working hard to make up for his knowledge whenever he has free time. I can't help but look up to him...
Kashin knew that Blainey was approaching, but he pretended not to know. He expected Blainey to give him a hug, so he stopped writing...
Blaney hugged Kashen from behind, sat on Kashen's lap, and said coquettishly: "Dear big boy, how come you triggered the meditation state again not long after your advancement? What a pity! If you were a magician, your achievements would be very high!"
"After days of fighting, I gained insights in various aspects very quickly. After the battle, the shackles of fighting spirit were triggered, so I took the breakthrough potion. Now my knight level has reached a high level, but I haven't gone to the Mercenary Association for testing! Haha, is it necessary to take a test after killing so many high-level knights? Sometimes, the knight level test is nonsense~".
"Haha, the big boy doesn't believe in qualifications. Well, no matter! We don't rely on our level to fight for that treatment, it doesn't matter! By the way, a few days ago I felt that your mental power was suppressing me, what's going on?"
Kashin's mouth curled up slightly, and he remembered the sudden idea he had when he was in the meditation state...
"Blaine, it was an idea that suddenly occurred to me. I wanted to try to use my mental power to communicate with you mentally. The specific principle is the same as communicating with a pet mentally. You know, as a senior animal trainer, this kind of mental control is a piece of cake for me!"
"And then? What was it like? Anyway, I gave up resisting and cooperated with you at the beginning, but you actually wanted to control me, so I had to fight back. I almost lost control of my body, so I even used my dagger to try to use the severe pain to get rid of the mental pressure. Fortunately, you quickly withdrew your mental power... It was too dangerous!"
Bryony talked about her experience, hoping that Kashin was not trying to trick her, and asked him to tell her what happened at the time to avoid misunderstanding. She had been thinking about various possibilities every day these days, but she didn't believe that the boy had any malicious intentions...
Kashin once again explained that he only had mental power but could not practice magic, so he used it all to develop his "feelings", that is, the "six senses" of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind.
Trying to communicate with people psychologically at the level of consciousness comes from animal training. In the past, only the first five types could be trained. Now I suddenly find that consciousness can also be tried, which means that mental power is getting stronger and stronger. Although it cannot be quantified, it can be intuitively seen...
Although this was just an attempt, I accidentally discovered the way of (mental coercion). This power is between magic and divine arts, and is a control skill.
Bryony nodded slowly, as if thinking about something, and then said:
"If I hadn't actively cooperated with you from the beginning, it would have been quite difficult for that big boy to break through his psychological defenses. After all, human psychology is so complex and subtle that it is not easy to break through easily."
Blainey then hypothesized:
"However, the trick you used may not have much effect on magicians. Magicians usually have strong mental power. After long-term practice and training, they can better resist this kind of psychological attack.
Of course, if your own mental strength is strong enough to defeat the magician, then the situation will naturally be different."
Blaney's words revealed his affirmation of this fact, but he immediately added: "But, for the big boy's mental power to surpass that of the magician, this possibility is so slim that it can be said to be impossible..."
Kashin listened attentively to Blainey's analysis, and he fully agreed with Blainey's point of view. Because he had not originally intended to use this trick to deal with the magician, but just had one more method on hand, which was also an extra guarantee in case of emergency.
"Big boy, it feels really good to train physically with me today! I wonder what Maestro Kabaeva will think of my performance..." Kashin thought to himself.
Kashin smiled and said: "Let's go! We don't have to worry about the war, just wait for the senior to call..."
Blaney smiled and said, "We will meet the leader tonight. Big boy, please stay at the Magic Kitchen Hotel. We should have a good time tonight." Blaney's face turned red and a little shy...
"Okay! Let's go! I will take care of your mount cub myself starting today. After we develop feelings for it, I will start training it when it grows a little bigger..."
After the two hugged and kissed passionately, they walked out of the practice space hand in hand and took the teleportation array to the first floor to prepare for morning exercises. Now Blaney is also breaking through physical training, just to allow himself to continue fighting on the battlefield.
As a sparring partner, Kashen will systematically enhance Blaney's combat survival ability, hoping that she can survive the magic war safely...
