Chapter 68 General Spells! Mastered!
"Are there any other ways to learn meditation?" Ye Mingqiu asked.

“I’ll develop it myself, study in the spirit world, or become an apprentice to a powerful magic user. These are roughly the ways to do it. It’s still quite difficult to master meditation techniques,” Tang Ruobing replied.

This is more than just a little difficult.
That's incredibly difficult!
Developing meditation methods is not something ordinary people can do. People capable of developing meditation methods are unlikely to lack them, since how could they possibly develop a meditation method if they don't even understand its basic principles? Does someone who understands the basic principles of meditation but doesn't know any meditation methods at all exist?
Seeking knowledge in the spirit world is like trying your luck to find a world with a highly developed magical system, and then finding a native who knows meditation to learn from. Even so, it is still very difficult.

Meditation techniques are also very valuable to the indigenous people. They wouldn't just hand over their meditation techniques casually. Building goodwill and completing tasks requires a great deal of time and effort, and there's no guarantee of success.

As for finding a powerful magic user to become an apprentice to...
That's not very realistic. Ye Mingqiu isn't a magic major. He just wants to improve his learning efficiency of magic skills through meditation. Finding a magic expert to be his master but not majoring in magic is a bit much.

"Then I guess I'll have to give up on treatment," Ye Mingqiu sighed.

“Learning and mastering meditation techniques will take some time. The time spent learning is not worth the strength gains you can get during that time. It’s okay if you don’t learn it for now. Let’s learn some general techniques first,” Tang Ruobing comforted her.

"Ah."

"I found three general spells: Wind Walk to increase movement speed, Illumination to provide vision in the dark, and Healing to restore the status of teammates."

Tang Ruobing took out a brand-new notebook from her backpack, turned to the first page, and handed it to Ye Mingqiu, saying, "I have finished copying down the basic spells. There are explanations on the side. Try to learn them first. If you can't, then come to me for help."

"it is good."

Ye Mingqiu took the notebook, looked at the beautiful handwriting and standard images, and deduced the basic structure of the Windwalking Technique in his mind. At the same time, he used his existing knowledge to calculate whether the spiritual energy that needed to be injected at each moment was exactly the same as the amount given by the technique.

In short, universal spells are simple, foolproof spellcasting. Only mages can use universal spells, not magic masters.

A true mage must learn advanced spells, constantly adjusting parameters and performing real-time calculations based on their knowledge and the changing battlefield.

For example, adjusting spell models in real time and calculating when and how much psionic energy to inject can enable spells to achieve the desired results, rather than simply wasting psionic energy and power, resulting in low psionic energy utilization.

To become a mage, one must not only possess a large amount of knowledge but also have strong calculation ability. However, the calculation process is usually completed before the battle, and the calculated spells are released directly during the battle.

Normally, everyone looks down on the Earth Dog Technique, but in actual combat, everyone uses the Earth Dog Technique because it's convenient.

Without learning the knowledge of advanced spells, learning one spell is just one spell. Mastering advanced spell techniques means mastering one spell, which is equivalent to mastering several or even dozens of different spells. It may even be possible to directly deduce new patterns and create the most suitable spell for oneself.

This is also why Tang Ruobing said that the same skill cannot be used on Feng Xinglie a second time.

Top-tier magic geniuses analyze and counter targeted spells they've encountered, then use their knowledge and abilities to nullify them.

However, this process takes time, requires thought and calculation, and is almost impossible to crack in practice.

After a few minutes
Ye Mingqiu obtained the answer from his mental test. Looking at the parameters on his notebook, he thought to himself: "It's about the same as what I got from my mental test. Basic general techniques are still easy to crack. To master advanced techniques, one must have a thorough understanding of all the knowledge related to the technique. The higher the level of the technique, the more knowledge one needs to master."

My knowledge of the legal system wasn't wasted; it's still somewhat useful.

He closed the book, walked to the open space, slowly raised his arm, and cast a spell mentally. "Windwalking."

In an instant, a gentle wind force surrounded him, swirling and lingering, as if making his body feel much lighter.

[You have learned the skill: Wind Walk]

Wind Walk (Active)

Rank: None
Effect: Increases movement speed after use.

Are there no tiers of skill acquisition?

Ye Mingqiu felt somewhat helpless, but he thought it was normal. Wind Walk was indeed not a high-level spell, just the most basic one, but even so, it was a skill that could be included in the Spirit Realm.

Things like the fireball and wind blade techniques he had previously mastered were not even worth recording; the spirit world would not classify them as mastered skills at all.

This can be considered an improvement, right?

Compared to this.
An excited smile gradually appeared on Ye Mingqiu's face as he cast Wind Walk again. However, the second Wind Walk was different from the basic version. He changed one of the spell's structures and increased the output of spiritual energy.

As a result, along with the output of psionic energy, a hurricane suddenly arose in front of Ye Mingqiu, constantly swirling and blowing around the eye of the storm.

Tang Ruobing, who was reading a book nearby, couldn't help but look up at the swirling vortex and sighed helplessly. She knew this would happen, which was why she had Ye Mingqiu practice in her private training room.

She was 100% certain that this guy would try to use the variant technique. After all, although she pretended to be a newbie when chatting, Ye Mingqiu's learning and answering of questions were genuine.

Tang Ruobing's gaze gradually changed, while he continued to mutter to himself: If he had answered questions not by relying on others' help, but by learning and answering them on his own, then his knowledge reserves would probably be no less than those of an ordinary third-year law student.

After all, she knew the answer to the question she asked.

More importantly, he learned it all by himself, relying on online resources and library textbooks, without any teacher's guidance.

This guy is actually really amazing.

Tang Ruobing simply watched him cast the spell without uttering a single unnecessary word. If there was a major problem, she would stop him directly; if the problem was minor or nonexistent, she would let him play a little longer.

She slowly lowered her eyes and continued reading, but as she read, she realized something was wrong. Tang Ruobing suddenly looked up at the vortex of wind released by Ye Mingqiu and noticed the abnormality.

Something is wrong!
This spell's power is off!
Wind Walk is a basic, universal spell, and even its variants aren't very powerful. But how come this guy's wind vortex is so powerful? You need at least a 30 or higher Spirit attribute to unleash that kind of power, right?
Is it talent? But isn't his talent supposed to amplify strength and agility? What's going on?

This guy is definitely not simple!
