Chapter 150 Special Training
One month before the start of the second semester of my freshman year, on a certain beach.
The rising sun quietly cast its warm rays, and the vast sea shimmered with red light. Waves rolled onto the beach, and fish occasionally leaped out of the water. A damp and cool sea breeze swept over you, invigorating your spirit.
"Blazing Flames Scorch the Sky!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted, and a row of huge flames shot into the sky, making the sea surface even more fiery red, and the white clouds in the sky were almost swallowed up by the flames.
"Blazing Sky, a fire-type A-rank area-of-effect damage skill," he said to Han Kexin, who was still sleepy beside him.
Before the winter break, he had made an agreement with the other party that he would focus on cultivation during the break. Once he reached level 6 in spiritual power, he would come to the school ahead of time, and Han Kexin and Zhou Bin would guide his subsequent training. For this reason, Han Kexin specially brought him to this beach so that it would be more convenient for him to practice his skills.
"Well, now that you've learned your first A-level skill, your special training can begin," Han Kexin said calmly, sitting under the parasol.
Considering her intolerance for ultraviolet radiation, Qin Xiaochuan originally requested that training be conducted at night, but Han Kexin insisted on practicing during the day, arguing that the noise at night would attract attention, and that since it was early spring and the sunlight was still weak, the ultraviolet radiation would have little effect on her.
However, despite this, during Qin Xiaochuan's practice of "Blazing Sky" these past few days, she almost always wore sunglasses and lay on the beach chair to continue sleeping.
Han Kexin took a sip of juice before continuing, "Before the special training, there are some things I need to make clear to you. Level 6 of spiritual power can be said to be the watershed between the level of a spiritual mage. Some people even say that only by reaching level 6 of spiritual power can one be considered to have entered the world of spiritual power."
Qin Xiaochuan nodded and said, "Yes, I know that. Shiyi told me before that after reaching level 6 of spiritual power, one gains the ability to create."
"That girl told you quite a bit," Han Kexin said indifferently. "Now that you already know, it saves me a lot of trouble. Now I only have one question for you: what are the conditions for creating something using spiritual power?"
Qin Xiaochuan immediately replied, "Creating matter with spiritual power requires two essential elements: one is the law of change of spiritual power, and the other is the structure of matter. Shiyi also told me about these."
"Well, reaching level 6 in spiritual power means you've grasped some of the patterns of spiritual power changes. To learn more, you'll need to explore and experiment on your own," Han Kexin said softly, her eyes half-closed, looking as if she might fall asleep at any moment.
"Not bad, I can now create flames at will." Qin Xiaochuan said proudly, and a ball of red flame appeared in his palm. The size of the flame could be completely controlled by his will. This would make lighting and starting fires much more convenient in the future.
"You've only just begun. Your creative abilities can only provide you with some convenience; they're far from enough to improve your combat power."
What she said made sense. The flames Qin Xiaochuan currently possessed could only be used for lighting and starting fires; they were completely useless in combat. So, he curiously asked her, "Then how can I improve my combat power?"
"So I'm going to tell you something else, something that girl didn't tell you."
"What?"
Han Kexin raised her right hand and said, "There are five types of spiritual power in the human body. Each type of spiritual power has its own unique attributes, and it is these attributes that determine the uses of the five skills. Here is a chart; you can take a closer look." As she spoke, she took out a piece of white paper from her person and handed it to Qin Xiaochuan.
Qin Xiaochuan unfolded the white paper, and saw that it read:
[Metal] attribute spiritual power: manifests as [penetration], that is, the ability to pierce armor;
The [Wood] attribute elemental power manifests as [Agility], which is reaction speed.
The [Water] attribute elemental power manifests as [flexibility and spell penetration], which means it increases skill damage;
Fire attribute spiritual power: It represents strength, which increases physical damage;
The Earth elemental power manifests as defense, which is self-explanatory.
Note: In addition to the above, the [Wood] and [Water] attribute spiritual power also have the effect of [restoring vitality].
"If you want to improve your combat power, you must make full use of these five spiritual attributes. For example—" Han Kexin raised her right hand again, and a small wind blade appeared in her hand. "Where are the stones?" she asked.
"It's on your right," Qin Xiaochuan said speechlessly. She could have easily seen it by simply looking up.
Just as he finished speaking, the wind blade in Han Kexin's hand flew out and accurately struck a boulder three meters away from her. Then, another wind blade appeared in her hand. "Do you see any difference between these two wind blades?" she asked, her eyes still half-closed.
"No," Qin Xiaochuan answered truthfully. Then her second wind blade struck the boulder.
"You can go and see the effect of the two wind blades now." This time she closed her eyes completely and pushed down the sunglasses on her forehead.
Qin Xiaochuan followed the instructions and walked to the boulder. Two cuts appeared on the boulder, but the depth of the cuts was different. One cut was four or five centimeters deep, while the other was more than ten centimeters deep, almost cutting off a piece of the boulder.
"Why is there such a big difference?" Qin Xiaochuan asked her, puzzled. He knew that she must be trying to explain something by doing this.
"The principle is actually very simple. When I released the second wind blade, I added some [metal] attribute spiritual power," she said calmly.
Qin Xiaochuan glanced at the white paper in his hand and said, "Does the metal elemental spiritual power manifest as penetrability, thus making the skill more powerful?"
"That's right. The reason why we say that level 6 of spiritual power is the entry level is because we have the means to create new skills starting from level 6. In the beginning, there were no high-level skills above level A. The so-called high-level skills are actually the experience of predecessors who improved low-level skills and recorded the usage methods. So, if you want to improve your combat power, you must master the methods of improving skills."
"It sounds interesting, but how do I master the methods to improve my skills?"
"You'll have to rely on your own constant trial and error to figure this out. Once you reach level 6 in spiritual power, the rate at which you increase your spiritual power level will become very slow, because you'll have to spend a lot of time researching skills after that."
Hearing her say that, Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but wonder, "Since researching new skills takes a lot of time, why don't people just learn those readily available A-level skills? Wouldn't that be much more convenient?"
"You're like a well-fed person who doesn't know the hunger of an starving person," Han Kexin said coldly. "Although the use of spiritual power began in ancient times, most of the skills and methods of using spiritual power disappeared after the extinction of the witch clan. The skills that humans use now are all things that the human race has explored and researched over thousands of years."
Han Kexin paused for a moment and then continued, "Although countless talented people have developed a large number of advanced skills over the past thousands of years, due to sectarianism, very few advanced skills have been passed down. Most people have no opportunity to learn advanced skills. If they want to improve their strength, the only way is to improve their low-level skills and create their own advanced skills."
"So that's how it is." Qin Xiaochuan nodded. After hearing what the other party said, he realized how lucky he was. Putting everything else aside, Han Kexin had given him more than ten skills of A rank or above, not to mention two S rank skills.
