NO.65 Please guide me! Teacher Alice!

“Elemental magic…” Yang Xiying seemed to recognize the phrase, and Alice didn’t mind explaining it again.

"Yes, it's a kind of magic that manipulates various elements that exist in nature, such as fire, water, and your lightning."

"Mr. Yang is very skilled at manipulating lightning and could try to improve in that area, although it might be a bit redundant for me to say that."

After all, Yang Xiying had already demonstrated her ability to manipulate electricity in previous battles, so it goes without saying that the opponent would also improve.

"But Mr. Yang's current is only formed by using the energy in his own body. Magic really does originate from a person's heart and spirit."

"But magic created in this way always has its limits, because every race has its limits, and humans are no exception."

"Although humans are one of the few special races with extraordinary characteristics, most, if not all, are still unable to reach for the stars and the moon."

"—Because the upper limit is there."

"That's true. During this period of martial arts training, I've also felt that my progress is getting slower and slower."

Yang Xiying responded that it is only natural for humans to have limits, and he feels that he is about to reach a bottleneck in his martial arts training.

It's not that you can't improve anymore, but the progress will slow down, just like how you need more and more experience points to level up.

He used to reach SP level in half a month, and then it took him another half month to reach strong level. He only reached strong level EX in the JOJO world.

I stayed there for a month before reaching the SP level, and even then, I only reached the fierce level thanks to a system cheat. In short, my progress became increasingly slow.

This made him feel that to continue to improve, he needed to take drastic measures, travel to other worlds more often, accumulate martial arts points, and collect heavenly books.

Currently, the celestial books he possesses are all within the realm of martial arts fiction. Since the system possesses the power to destroy the multiverse—

That shouldn't be all there is to it, so there must be even more powerful secret manuals, like the Fierce Beast Fist or the Beast Approaching Fist—the martial arts style from Hong Kong comics...

Or perhaps I really don't need to rush things; I should take my time to reflect and gradually understand things in my daily life. After all, life itself is a form of spiritual practice.

If you want to try to understand it on your own, you can try asking Reimu Alice for guidance first, since the former studies Taoist arts and immortal techniques, while the latter studies magic.

"Although Mr. Yang's words are somewhat subtle, I don't think it's a lie that you can sense the limits."

Alice took a deep breath and responded. When she first met Yang Xiying, she felt that she was about the same as Ming Luo or even slightly inferior.

But now she feels that her opponent has already surpassed her in strength, and that will happen in just a few days.

Indeed, he may have stayed in the other world for a month, but even so, it is still quite exaggerated for him to have grown to this extent in just one month.

"So, Mr. Yang, if you want to continue to improve, then try a different approach. This is also a technique for learning magic."

"Practicing martial arts is a way to train the body, break through limits, and even surpass nature, but humans are part of nature."

"There's no need to think about surpassing, dominating, or manipulating these things; living in harmony with them is also a good choice."

"All things have a spirit, even plants and trees have a heart. There is only one person who can move forward, but if you resonate with nature, you will have multiple powers."

“Resonating with nature?... That’s something I haven’t really thought about,” Yang Xiying said thoughtfully, then nodded.

"—In that case, I'll give it a try."

"I remember there's a key principle among martial artists: 'Don't think, just feel.' The same applies to cultivating magic."

Alice added at this moment.

“Mr. Yang, just follow this method. I’ll go out now, sit cross-legged and meditate. I’ll keep an eye on things for you.”

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Alice."

Yang Xiying and Alice arrived outside the courtyard. Yang Xiying immediately sat down to meditate, while Alice watched quietly.

"...Mr. Yang, you can open your eyes now."

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Yang Xiying was called back by Alice, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Alice with a smiling face.

Sitting on a chair in the courtyard, with her right hand supporting her cheek and a cup of red tea in front of her, she exudes a unique charm.

—As expected of one of the most beautiful women in the world, chosen by beer lovers...

"Although I have heard of and witnessed Mr. Yang's extraordinary talent, I am still somewhat surprised no matter how many times I see it."

"Now you have resonated with the things in nature, after all, the flowers and plants around you are growing more vigorously."

"Really? That's something to be happy about," Yang Xiying couldn't help but say, looking at the flowers and plants around her that were indeed growing more vigorously.

He had previously meditated cross-legged, trying to feel and resonate with everything around him, and he found it not difficult.

He had heard the saying "Don't think, feel" before, and practicing internal energy cultivation is also a way to resonate with the surrounding environment.

After all, it is through breathing exercises that one's innate and acquired energies are nourished by the pure energy of all things and stars within the body.

He just felt he needed to add something to this, to listen to the sounds of the things around him, even his own breathing.

In the end, he did indeed feel a sense of integration with his surroundings, which was perhaps a resonance with nature.

"But I'm not very happy."

"Huh?" Alice's sudden question caught Yang Xiying off guard, but she still spoke with a slight smile.

"After all, Mr. Yang grasped it so quickly that I felt like I hadn't taught him. And I also felt that even if I didn't tell you, you would have grasped it very quickly."

"—I don't feel any sense of accomplishment in that case."

“No, Miss Alice’s words have indeed benefited me greatly,” Yang Xiying stood up from the ground and dusted off her trouser legs.

"So it's perfectly fine to call you teacher, Alice. Please continue to guide me on matters related to magic."

"Please...please don't do this..."

Alice felt a little embarrassed, after all, her joke had been quickly retaliated against, making it difficult for the other party to respond.

—She is not the type of person who is good at communicating with others.

"However, as long as Mr. Yang maintains this feeling of resonance with nature, he will definitely be able to use magic."

"—Next, I will teach you about magic incantations and how to set up magic spells."

Yang Xiying's magic learning has entered a new stage, and the system also announced that Alice's favorability has increased by a few points.

Afterwards, Yang Xiying also learned a few basic spells, such as making tea from a distance fly to her mouth.

This is the magic of manipulating liquids, and seeing this, he suddenly had a new martial arts inspiration, like Emperor Penguin 2.

Because he remembered a palm technique that used water flow to fight...

"In this way, Mr. Yang's path of learning magic will be on the right track, and it is not impossible for him to become a magician who is unprecedented and unparalleled."

"—If you keep practicing consistently."

"I will, Ms. Alice."

"I already told you not to call me teacher... but I do have a more suitable candidate to recommend as your magic teacher."

“After all, you’re learning elemental magic now,” Alice said, then suddenly chuckled as she thought of something.

"Huh? Who?" Yang Xiying was stunned when she heard this, while Alice smiled and said, "I'll keep you in suspense for now."

"—Or you can guess for yourself."

"I'll just wait for Miss Alice to tell me herself," Yang Xiying felt that she knew who it was, but it wouldn't hurt to let Alice explain.

"Really? Then let's go find her after lunch. It's almost noon now."

“Oh, then the cooking work—” “No, Mr. Yang, since it’s my home, you should leave the cooking to me.”

Upon hearing the word "dinner," Yang Xiying instinctively wanted to help with the cooking, but Alice immediately interrupted her.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Yang Xiying suddenly realized that this was the house across the street, and it wouldn't be very polite to take the initiative as a guest.

“It’s alright, I didn’t mean Mr. Yang was being impolite,” Alice understood the meaning behind Yang Xiying’s apology.

"It's a good thing for me that Mr. Yang took the initiative to show off his cooking skills, but now I also want to let Mr. Yang see my cooking."

"Because Mr. Yang demonstrated his exceptional abilities to me, I also wanted to showcase my skills as a way of returning the favor for your hospitality at the banquet."

She felt that Yang Xiying was a very good competitor.

"Oh...then let me see Miss Alice's culinary skills," tasting the works of various chefs is also part of the training.

PS: Second update!

NO.66 Visit the Scarlet Devil Mansion with Alice!

"Huh? Alice and her fellow countrywoman? What a strange combination!"

The Scarlet Devil Mansion is a red Western-style mansion located next to Lake Misty in the north of the Human Village. Its overall structure is very spectacular.

It looks like the residence of a wealthy and important person, and in fact, it is the residence of the vampire Remilia.

Therefore, this is not a place that ordinary people can enter, because it is guarded by the valiant kung fu master, Miss Hong Meiling.

That afternoon, Hong Meiling, who was on duty, saw two people flying towards her from the lake, which made her feel that she had relaxed too much and was hallucinating.

She had just eaten lunch, but seeing the two people land not far in front of her, she was able to confirm it.

It was still surprising, though, because it was Yang Xiying and Alice, who had interacted at the banquet.

—But this is the first time we've ever acted together.

"Hey, Meiling, have you eaten?"

Good afternoon, Hong Meiling.

The two walked over to Hong Meiling and greeted her briefly, to which Hong Meiling responded cheerfully.

"Well, good afternoon. Since it's afternoon, I've naturally eaten. May I ask what brings you two to the Scarlet Devil Mansion together?"

“I would like to take Mr. Yang to visit Patchouli, who is currently studying magic,” Alice stated her purpose directly.

"Oh, visiting Patchouli, huh? Hmm... so you're starting to learn magic now, my fellow countryman?"

Hearing Alice say this, Hong Meiling wasn't surprised, because there was a mage in the Scarlet Devil Mansion who was similar to her.

Patchouli, whose full name is Patchouli Knowledge, is a friend of her boss Remilia and has a high level of expertise in magic.

Although it rarely leaves its home, some past events have made its existence known, thus attracting a specific group of people.

Just like Alice in front of us, the two have been in contact recently because of her magic, and it seems they can become good friends.

So it's normal for the other side to say that now, but it's a bit surprising to hear that Yang Xiying is now practicing magic.

Although the other party had previously expressed a desire to learn magic...

"Yes, because I felt I was hitting a bottleneck in my martial arts training, so I wanted to learn other techniques to break through."

"...Haha, I must say, we really are from the same hometown." Hong Meiling was embarrassed when she heard Yang Xiying say that.

After all, the other side said they felt they had hit a bottleneck in their martial arts training. Is that something someone who has only been practicing martial arts for two months could say?!

"So, would it be convenient for us to visit?" Alice continued, and Hong Meiling responded directly.

"of course can."

"But before that—" But she quickly changed the subject, looking at Yang Xiying with a fighting spirit in her eyes.

"Fellow villager, you still have to spar with me. We agreed to have a match sometime, right?"

"..." Alice suddenly remembered that Yang Xiying and Hong Meiling had indeed said that at the banquet before, so now is the opportunity?

"Indeed."

"Now we have that opportunity. After all, the young lady has told me these past few days that you have to fight me before you can visit the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

Hong Meiling said this.

"There's actually such a requirement?" Yang Xiying was stunned, but before he could think about it, the other party continued, "Consider it a test of strength."

"And I also want to see the martial arts you've learned from me," Yang Xiying had previously mastered the Tai Chi Chuan and Tai Chi Divine Skill from her.

And recently, because the other side has returned triumphantly from another world, Reimu has become more studious and her learning speed is extremely fast, so Yang Xiying has no reason not to be like that.
