"Spell is a programming code that a cultivator can use to produce supernatural power, while Martial Arts are the training methods that combine fighting styles with supernatural power."
"One creates supernatural power while another uses supernatural power. Of course, it also depends on what you call supernatural. For most spell casters, spiritual energy isn't supernatural."
"The effect created by using spiritual energy is supernatural power. For martial artist, spiritual energy is a supernatural element added to their fighting style to enhance their powers."
"Martial Arts is all about battles, while spells are diverse in their uses. In simple words, you can use martial arts only in battle, while you can use spells to write a letter."
Hearing that, David raised his hand and asked.
"Miss, what level of spell can be used to write a letter?"
"It depends on what you want to write. Some people can write Talisman papers, which takes at least Level Two or three spell, while you can use a simple Level One Spell to write a normal letter, but the words can't be erased so easily."
Just when Rose finished explaining, Aria raised her hand and asked.
"Miss, which one is more powerful? Spell or Martial Arts?"
Rose glanced at her and replied.
"That depends on how you interpret power. Some spells can control people. If there is a powerful person who wants to control the S-Rank Hunters, then is Spell more powerful than Martial Arts?"
"If yes, then how about those who have mastered a higher level of power through Martial Arts? As I said before, Spells are programming codes while martial arts is a fighting style incorporated with supernatural powers."
"If you give an AI enough technology and freedom, then that AI can potentially turn into a human. However, it doesn't mean it can surpass human capabilities. Humans have unlimited imagination."
"Three Hundred Years Ago, who would have thought we would bond with another creature to obtain supernatural power? No one! But now we have done it and it has brought us many benefits and a chance of survival."
"So, don't ask that kind of question in the future. It is something you need to discover on your own. The path you take will eventually lead you to an answer."
"Next, let's talk about Acquired Ability."
"It is a unique power that you gain when you reach a certain level of bond with your Astral Being. That bond is reflected especially during the seventh stage of the Body Tempering Realm."
"Because during those stages, most people go through several battles which help them improve their bond."
"The Acquired Ability can differ based on the talent of the Astral Being, the Personality of the human, and their bond itself. One interesting thing about Acquired Ability is that you can use it no matter which realm you reach."
"Unless low-level spells and martial arts that can't be used in a higher realm, Acquired Ability has no grade. Its power and utility depend upon the amount of Spiritual Energy one has."
"There isn't much to say about it since most people get different kinds of Acquired abilities even though the effect can be similar."
"Now, let's talk about Momentum and Intent."
When she reached the next topic, everyone couldn't help but feel speechless.
This time, they didn't get a chance to ask a question. From her tone alone, they knew they shouldn't ask any questions.
Although they were a bit sad, they quickly got over it.
After all, most of them didn't know anything about Momentum and Intent.
Except for Ken, almost no one was aware of it. After all, they had only been cultivating for four days.
"Momentum! Let you feel it."
Rose said, and suddenly the atmosphere inside the room changed.
Students almost felt their breath stop for a moment. Ken was able to fight off this atmosphere because of his Sword Momentum, but before he could fully release it, Rose took back her momentum.
"What was that?"
Almost everyone couldn't stop their questions when they felt the pressure disappearing.
"War Momentum! When you continue fighting against all odds, against the masses and the world, you will find yourself in a pinch. But if you keep going, without any intention of giving up, you will awaken this power."
"War Momentum gives you the courage to fight even when the odds are not at your side, even when you are about to die, you can continue fighting. Not only that, it also increases your strength by a huge margin."
"But, it also has disadvantages. Once you awaken War Momentum, you can not retreat from the battle. Of course, there will be some type of condition, such as fighting against people of similar strength."
"If you fight against people with much higher strength than yours and run away, nothing will happen. If not, your War Momentum will disappear and most of your combat spells and martial arts will lose some of their power."
"This is very dangerous, but it is not the only type of Momentum. There are different types of Momentum, and you can awaken them based on your talent and personality."
"Momentum has been divided into three stages: Basic, Advanced, and Peak. Of course, for most people, Momentum can be substituted by elements. By mastering the level of their element, they can gain power similar to Momentum."
"But what comes next is important. Unlike Momentum, Intent is the manifestation of your Belief and comprehension."
"Whenever you feel like you have mastered your element and have powerful Willpower to manifest flame out of your body without using Spiritual Energy, you can manifest it through Intent."
"But there is one problem with this. There must be a source for this kind of power. And, both Momentum and Intent draw their power from your soul. If you overuse them, your soul will get injured."
"That's why people mostly combine their Momentum and Intent with their Spiritual Energy. This way they can improve the power of their spiritual energy."
"Now, do you have any other questions? If not, we can head to the next topic."
When she said that, Maria instantly raised her hand.
"Miss, can anything become Momentum and Intent?"
Rose nodded her head and said.
"Although not everything has been tested, what we have found is enough to prove that everything can become Momentum and Intent as long as you believe in it."
"Unlike the world before Catastrophe, everything has changed. The rules of physics no longer apply to this supernatural world. Do you know about S-Rank Hunter First Law?"
Everyone shook their heads. Even Ken didn't know anything about it.
"Unlike A-Rank hunters, S-Rank hunters have many restrictions on their actions, as it could lead to mass destruction. Why? Because just by releasing their energy, they can shatter the cities and continents apart."
"That's why most of the time S-Rank hunters would either hold back most of their power or fight in different dimensions."
"Since they can do something like that just by releasing their energy, why can't you believe in a supernatural element? Is it impossible? No! You just don't have that kind of courage."
"Momentum and Intent are closely related to one's courage and belief. Only when these two things align, one manifests their Willpower outside their body."
"Anymore questions?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Rose continued.
"Now, let's talk about Soul Power. Previously, I mentioned the power source of Momentum and Intent being soul power. Now, I can go into more detail with it.
"This is related to your cultivation, so listen carefully."
She didn't need to say that since these students didn't have the courage to waste time in her class.
"Soul Power is generated whenever our soul is nurtured by Spiritual Energy. It's like giving water to a plant. When you awaken your First Titan, you can push your Spiritual Energy to your forehead."
"There, you can find a small barrier that blocks your spiritual energy from entering a special area in your brain. This area is formed during your awakening, but it is closed for now."
"So, you have to carefully break the barrier without destroying a part of your brain. If possible, try to do this when you have mastered your Basic Energy Refining Technique."
"Otherwise, if you make a mistake and affect your brain, you might become brain-dead."
Her words frightened everyone in the class. Everyone except Ken, who had already been learning Basic Energy Refining Technique.
Thanks to four nights of his previous training, he managed to reach Basic Mastery, which decreased the time from one hour to half an hour.
Even so, he would spend a lot of time compressing his spiritual energy.
"But the most important part of the Soul Power isn't about Momentum and Intent. It's mostly about an ability to use soul for soul attacks."
"Since the soul is attached to a body, it records everything from one's birth to his demise. So, soul has become mainstream to learn intel from the enemy."
"With weak Soul Power, you can't defend against enemy attack."
