Wizards are mighty.

Chapter 8 Soul
Relax your body, empty your mind, adjust your breathing, and focus your attention...

Vic lay on the bed, placed the crystal gently on his forehead, then assumed a comfortable position and began to perceive his soul according to the meditation method.

It’s strange to say, there are many similar methods on Blue Star, but I have never heard of anyone discovering the soul or anything else through a similar method.

But at this moment, Vic easily understood what the soul described in the meditation method was.

It is a magical existence. The moment I perceive it, the core concept of "I" is extracted from the body.

It is as if one's body has become a container, and even the most important thinking organ is just a tool to carry the soul and provide computing power.

Now, Vic had discovered something closer to the core of himself than his body, the source of his consciousness, the essence of his being.

……

Getting closer--

Deeper and deeper——

Time passes unconsciously.

Vic is also moving step by step towards the depths of his soul and the bottom of his thinking.

He sensed his own soul.

It doesn't seem to be flawless.

A large number of mysterious things that cannot be described in words seem to be "embedded" on the surface of his soul, while at the same time entangled and squeezing each other.

After careful observation, Vic discovered that there was more than one kind of mysterious things. After some things tore his soul apart, other things quickly repaired it.

Perhaps they are the so-called power of rules and the origin of the wizarding world?
Of course, the seal left by Elena had worked well, and he didn’t feel anything strange at the moment.

Without thinking too much, Vic quickly put aside his complicated thoughts and tried hard to integrate his consciousness into it.

The golden light did not become an obstacle, and he easily touched his own soul.

In an instant, a shock like thunder exploded from Vic's soul and instantly penetrated every corner of his body.

That means that consciousness and soul have completely merged and are no longer distinguishable from each other.

Or in other words, the soul and consciousness are originally one and the same, but ordinary people never pay attention to training in this area. Therefore, over a long period of time, consciousness gradually shifts towards the thinking organs that have been used for a long time and diffuses out from the soul.

What Vic did was simply to restore the long-separated consciousness to the soul.

……

Vic suddenly sat up from the bed, breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at the clock in the room whose operating principle was unknown.

Only less than half an hour had passed.

This is obviously not normal time consuming.

According to the wizard's meditation method, depending on the qualifications and past experience of the prospective apprentices, it takes about three days to a week to complete this step.

Maybe it’s the result of time travel.

Vic thought thoughtfully.

The damaged system most likely did not carry his body when it took him through time, so the consciousness that was originally diffused in his previous life's body was probably extracted long ago and taken along.

When the wizard performed the transformation ritual to recast his body and soul, perhaps his consciousness and soul were already very close, and now they only needed a gentle push to complete the fusion.

It’s a good thing.

However, this wonderful journey also made him intuitively feel that the problems in his soul were imminent.

When we get to that so-called wizard academy, we should find a way to solve the problem as soon as possible. …

"After the soul and consciousness are united, you can proceed to the second step, using consciousness to mobilize the self, and use the self to observe the rules and free magic of the outside world."

Vic whispered.

The self mentioned here is not the self in an abstract sense, but one of the three elements of the soul defined by wizard civilization.

According to the research of wizards, the souls of humans, apprentice wizards, and even formal wizards in the wizarding world are composed of three parts: the id, the ego, and the superego.

The id is the wizard's basic desire and the earliest and most primitive part of the wizard's soul. The id is irrational and advocates the instinct of life. Its purpose is to satisfy desires and pleasures at all costs and influence consciousness unconsciously.

The ego is explicit. It regulates the self, represents the will of the wizard, and is the wizard's individual cognition of his or her own state of existence. The source of the wizard's power is the ego. By leveraging knowledge through the ego, the wizard can create miracles that other creatures cannot imagine.

The superego is formed by acquired factors. All ideals, morals, pursuits, cognitions and values ​​together constitute the superego.

The superego suppresses the id and is naturally opposed to the id, while the ego serves as the middle layer between the two, regulating and making them compatible.

Of course, whether it is the id, the ego, or the superego, they are all components of the wizard's soul, not the wizard's consciousness itself.

In other words, these three are more like subconsciousness rather than conscious awareness.

The second step is to use special methods to allow the wizard's consciousness to mobilize his self and use himself to observe the rules and free magic of the outside world.

It sounds mysterious and difficult, but in fact it is the easiest of the three steps.

Because in the wizarding world, the human self is the strongest part of the soul. Without such a unique talent, wizards would not be able to establish a power system that is compatible with all things and use it to conquer the multiverse.

Of course, the details will only be known after becoming a formal wizard.

At least for now, it is not difficult for Vic to use consciousness to mobilize the so-called self to observe the outside world.

……

After a slight dizziness, the whole world became different.

It's like having an extra sense out of nowhere.

Vic could vaguely sense that the basic rules that make up this world were opening their arms to him.

In his eyes, these rules were like a giant net that covered the entire sky and earth, trapping everything in the wizarding world into this net.

It is like countless tiny yet indestructible chains, locking everything in the world tightly.

It is everywhere, fits perfectly, and is extremely solid.

If a scientist in a technological civilization were in his current state, he would probably be lying on the table, writing down the laws of physics.

Unfortunately, Vic didn't intend to do so. He continued to practice the secret techniques of meditation, sensing the free magic power intertwined with the rules.

These free magic powers are also part of the rules of this world and are derivatives of the power of the rules of the wizarding world.

Although they do not possess power above the rules, wherever the rules of the wizarding world cover, these derivatives can temporarily utilize or even change the rules of the wizarding world.

During the wizard apprentice stage, the magic that exists in the wizarding world is the source of power for the apprentices.

By simply absorbing it into their bodies, apprentice wizards can use it to unleash all kinds of mysterious powers.

And this is the third step to becoming an apprentice wizard.

That is, stimulate the soul to generate mental power, use the mental power to absorb free magic power into the body, and transform it into magic power that belongs to oneself and is under one's control.
