Next Day,
Ken woke up late, finished his breakfast, and rushed to school. When he joined the class, he was only a minute early.
Immediately, Teacher Rose joined the class.
"Good morning, class!"
"Good morning, Teacher!"
The students shouted while Rose immediately took out a marker from her purse and started writing on the whiteboard.
[Cultivation Technique] [Spells] [Martial Arts] [Acquired Ability] [Momentum and Intent] [Soul Power]
"Today, we are going to talk about these six topics. They are essential in your journey of cultivation. So, keep every word I say here in your mind. Otherwise, you could potentially ruin your future with wrong decisions."
When she said that, everyone's expression became serious.
After all, nobody wanted to make a wrong decision in their cultivation.
"First, let's start with Cultivation Technique. I am sure all of you have already started gathering enough Spiritual Energy in your first blockade. I believe those with a strong bond should've already reached over 80%."
As she said that, she observed the expressions of every single student.
She realized that only three students had reached over 80%. Some looked sad while others were quite determined. She was satisfied with the result and went back to explaining.
"Cultivation Technique is similar to Basic Energy Refining Technique. But this is just a basic technique. It is a Human Level Low-Grade Cultivation Technique."
"Cultivation Techniques are divided into three levels: Human, Earth, and Heaven. Each level was divided into four grades: Low, Middle, High, and Superior."
"The level of cultivation technique and the level of martial arts are similar. They also have another similarity. The level represents the difficulty of mastering the technique and martial arts."
"But, what about the effect?"
Rose asked this question and spread out her palm. Suddenly, a red flame appeared on her palm.
The flame seemed to be bright. They felt a level of heat coming from the flame. It was heating the room atmosphere.
"My Fire Element is Level Eight. My flames on their own can burn at a temperature higher than twelve hundred degrees. This is my basic fire, which I can release without damaging myself or without the use of the spell."
"But, what if I use a Cultivation Technique that I practice?"
She said, and in the next ten seconds, the red flame in her hand began to turn blue.
The temperature of the flame was increasing so drastically that she had to disperse her flame in just three seconds after releasing it.
Everyone inside the room was covered in sweat. They weren't just sweating. They were truly scared.
The temperature was so high that they felt like they were burned. Even though the flame only existed for three seconds, and was quite far from them.
Rose let them recover before starting her lessons.
"That was the result of my 'Burning Sun Essence Technique'. I can use this technique to increase the temperature of the fire energy drastically, which consumes more of my spiritual energy."
"If I use this fire in my offensive spells, I can do at least five times more destruction than my normal fire. Now, do you understand the importance of a Cultivation Technique?"
Everyone nodded their heads. One of them raised their hands and asked.
"Miss, does cultivation technique have any other usages other than increasing the power of our spiritual energy?"
"Of course! They have a multitude of usages. But they are generally divided into three types: Transformation Type, Energy Type, and Ability Type."
"Transformation Type cultivation technique allows you to use spiritual energy to transform your body. The effect of transformation depends upon the usages of the technique."
"For example, Body Cultivation Technique is a permanent transformation type technique that helps one improve their strength permanently. But other temporary transformation types can temporarily increase one's strength."
"These come in various forms like armor type, enhancement type, and growth type. If you are lucky enough to find one, you will be able to increase your strength massively."
"If you become a hunter and participate in many special dungeons and lands, you will earn more AP, which can help you buy a cultivation technique from the Warlock Association."
"Energy Type Cultivation Technique is the same as mine. It helps one improve one's energy level by increasing its power, density, and even form and nature."
"Finally, Ability Type is a unique type of cultivation technique. A certain cultivation technique has a certain ability which can vary from cultivation technique to cultivation technique."
"And based on the level of a cultivation technique, the ability can be superior or inferior. Anyway, if you encounter this type, you are extremely lucky."
"You don't need a powerful Cultivation Technique at this stage, but having one will always be better than having none. It's just that, except for Basic Energy Refining Technique, the school can't give you more."
"Of course, if you manage to acquire a good result in the graduation, you can get a chance to choose a better cultivation technique. So, strive to get a better result!"
Hearing that, everyone shouted at the same time.
"Yes, Miss!"
They were excited. After all, half of them couldn't even afford a level one spell. Getting a gift for their performance in the graduation motivated everyone.
Even Ken, who had an abundance of resources, was excited. Because for him, this was a challenge, and he would love to accept the challenge.
"Now, let's talk about Spells. If Cultivation Technique is responsible for making your spiritual energy and elemental energy diverse, spells are responsible for giving you different abilities."
"Offensive, defensive, healing, movement, sealing, control, there are many sections where one could utilize a certain spell to get a certain type of advantage."
"Unlike Cultivation Techniques, Spells are divided into nine levels. Starting from Level One and ending with Level Nine. Each level has a certain upper limit of power and form."
"For example, if I use a Level Two Spell 'Fire Dragon', the temperature of my fire will be around fifteen hundred degrees while the size will be around the size of this classroom."
"But if I use Level Four Spell 'Red Fire Dragon', the temperature can reach up to three thousand, and the size can be bigger than three times this classroom."
"Even though the spells are very similar, the effects can be different based on their levels. So, what are Spells?"
"Spells are Programming Codes. They consist of different words and symbols, hand signs, and control to regulate one's Spiritual Energy/Elemental Energy to obtain a certain result."
"Through practice, one can encode the Spells into their brain and obtain a special output button. This button can be a hand sign or a sentence, or even a word."
"Unlike software, you must constantly use the code in your brain to use the Spell. But the more you use it, the better your brain gets at using it."
"One day, you won't even need a word to use a Spell."
"This is how a Spell works. But that's not all. You see, three major factors can affect a Spell. These factors are Mastery, Energy, and Control."
"Mastery refers to your specialization in codes. The higher your mastery is, the less code you need to use every time you use a spell. And, remember, by code, I mean special incantation."
"Energy refers to your Spiritual or Elemental Energy. The power of the energy can vary based on the level of your elemental energy or density and the power of your spiritual energy."
"Control refers to your overall control of energy and mastery. The better your control is, the faster you can use your spells."
"For example, this!"
She said while closing her palm. As she closed her palm, she created a golden sword.
"How long did that take?"
"Two seconds?" "Three Seconds?" "Maybe one second!"
When she asked that question, everyone began to answer.
"1.87 seconds. In a serious battle, this much time can decide the outcome. So, the faster you can release your Spell, the safer you will be."
"The reason I can release it so fast is because of my Control. I have been using this spell so many times that it has become a kind of instinct for me."
"From the moment you open your first Titan, you must start training with your Energy Control. The training method can be as simple as releasing Spiritual Energy into your finger and turning it into thin needles."
"Can you do that? Yes, you can. Will it take some time? Obviously! So, never stop training."
"That's all for Spells and Cultivation Techniques. Now, let's talk about Martial Arts."
"Now, I need one of you to answer this. What's the difference between Spells and Martial Arts?"
"Anyone?"
Rose asked and stopped talking. She watched as the students began to look hesitant.
But one of the students raised his hand. This student was none other than Sam.
"Miss, Spell is generally a long-range fighting style, while martial arts are a melee fighting style."
"Close but incorrect!"
