The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 394 Moran's Mental Strength
Moran suspected that these words were a case of humans patting themselves on the back.

If only humans possess initial mental energy, and only those with initial controllable mental energy can learn meditation, then what are those incredibly clear meditation patterns in her mind?
She was able to do it, probably not because she was a witch.

The reason why witches have unlimited magical talent is because the power and inclusiveness of magic are the highest among all energies, and the energy level is also high. It can be converted into any lower energy for casting spells, not because witches are born with initial spiritual power.

According to the "Travel Guide to the Continent of Valen," witches first cultivate a bit of spiritual power through meditation, and then convert their magic into spiritual power to disguise themselves as human mages.

However, "The Origin of Spiritual Power" states that meditation can only improve one's control over spiritual power, not spiritual power itself. One must have initial spiritual power to meditate.

Both are proven foundational theoretical books, so the probability of them being wrong is quite low.

If they are all right, then there is only one possibility: the witch originally possessed initial spiritual power.

Witches themselves don't have any special talents in terms of mental power; neither magic power nor innate talent has anything to do with mental power.

The most likely source of this initial spiritual power is humanity.

Witches come from sorceresses, and sorceresses come from humans.

Even now, there are still witches who have awakened from among humans!

Awakening is only an awakening of magical bloodline, and has nothing to do with mental power. Therefore, it is very possible that witches and sorceresses have initial mental power just like humans.

However, to verify this, the witch would need to learn meditation techniques.

Moran instinctively wanted to tell Ms. Amisha about this guess, but when she looked up, she realized that she was no longer at the academy.

He could only write a letter to Ms. Amisha using golden bird stationery.

Della's grandmother and Shana's mother, Moran, didn't forget either.

If witches truly possess initial spiritual power, then some of those with decent initial spiritual power could certainly try using human mages' magic to compensate for their own magical deficiencies.

After writing the letter, Moran read "The Origin of Spiritual Power" again and felt that the concepts of initial spiritual power and spiritual power training were somewhat similar to the brain development theory of Earth.

Blue Star Brain Development Theory: "The average person only develops 10% of their brain, and even the world's greatest scientists have only developed 15%. At least 90% of the human brain remains to be developed."

"The Origin of Spiritual Power": "Most spiritual power is hidden in the soul, dormant and sluggish, and cannot be controlled. Only humans are born with a small part of active spiritual power, which can be used as a guide to train the spiritual power hidden in the soul through meditation, so that it can be activated step by step in the process of constructing a meditation diagram, and finally completely become a power that can be controlled at will."

Wait... a mental energy construction meditation diagram?
Could it be that meditation diagrams are mental energy itself?
Yes! Although she easily mastered all the meditation images in "Sky Meditation Method", she never thought about how these images were so deeply engraved in her mind.

Is it possible that it was because her mental strength was strong enough to exceed the highest meditation difficulty of the "Sky Meditation Method" that it was so easy for her?
Moran first diligently recreated "Sky Meditation Diagram 1" in his mind, and then for the first time shifted his attention from the pattern to its more fundamental composition.

Then she sensed an energy that was different from magic and elemental power.

It's somewhat like the power of the mind, but also different.

She had never truly discovered it, yet it seemed to always be with her, both strange and familiar. Controlling it to gather at her fingertips, a completely new energy emerged from them.

The elemental forces in the air seemed to be curious about it, surrounding the small ball of energy at her fingertips.

Although there was no direct contact, they were drawn together; when Moran's fingertips moved, the surrounding elemental forces also swayed.

It's definitely mental power!
The most obvious characteristic of spiritual power is that it has an attraction and control over different elemental forces, depending on the degree of affinity.

This is the root of why mages can master elemental magic.

The elemental forces around Moran, regardless of type, are drawn to her. This is likely because she has a high affinity for all elements, which aligns with her witch's talents.

If the meditation diagram is made up of mental energy, then the vast blue star memories in her mind, the memories of wandering and drifting in the starry sea, the memories since her birth in Cuixi Plain... are they also constructed by mental energy, just as clear, just as detailed, and just as easily recreated in her mind as the sky meditation diagram?

Moran unfolded his largest memory in his mind—the memory of the Blue Star civilization.

Then, just like observing a meditation diagram, observe its underlying constituent energies.

A massive, almost tangible, spiritual energy surged towards him, and Moran was so shocked that he almost forgot to breathe.

Lilith, Sylph, and Vasita, who were still deep in meditation on "Sky Meditation Diagram 1," suddenly felt an immense pressure of energy, and their hair stood on end.

Luckily, they were already lying down, otherwise they would have been crushed by the weight.

Their hearts were in their throats, wondering how the witches would protect the wilderness and lead the witches to safety if the powerful enemies attacked while the witches were away.

Suddenly, he realized that the oppressive aura was coming from Moran, who was sitting cross-legged on a cushion next to him, looking down at a book.

Her magical pet, Zizi, seemed completely unaware of this, happily drinking from the wine bottle.

The case is solved; it was Moran who orchestrated it.

Moran quickly calmed her surging mental energy caused by shock, let out a long sigh of relief, and looked up to see her three little friends lying stiffly in a row on the ground, staring at her with their big, round eyes:
"Ahem, sorry, I couldn't control myself."

Lilith, noticing the disappearance of the oppressive aura, immediately sat up: "Tell me! What happened? You just gave me the feeling of a super terrifying monster! Even a peak-level expert probably wouldn't have this kind of energy pressure, right?"

"Could it be that suddenly a lot of people are buying your magic?" Sylph asked. "That doesn't make sense, I haven't heard of a large number of witches returning to the wilderness recently!"

“Even if all the witches bought Moran’s magic at the same time, there wouldn’t be this much of a commotion, would there?” Vasita said.

"Hmm... I suddenly realized that I'm probably a mage genius, with a massive amount of active mental energy..."

Moran himself found it somewhat surreal:

"My photographic memory is probably because my mental strength is too strong, allowing me to easily store what I see and hear in my mind as clearly as if I were creating a meditation map..."
