CHAPTER 49: CHAPTER 49: TENFOLD ENGRAVING EFFICIENCY

The alarm rang, and Lin Guang exited his meditation state — in a non-high-pressure environment, relaxed meditation helps recover Spiritual Power — he boarded the school bus with Vishdair, heading to the teaching building.

The Meditation Building houses ten Meditation Rooms, all with the same effect, first-year students enjoy six Quiet Rooms, while second and third-year students have progressively fewer because they already have the ability to venture into the Secret Realm, and few stay in school to meditate.

Upon entering the ground floor lobby, Lin Guang saw two groups of students lined up at the Meditation Room entrance, with two teachers and two instructors standing in front of them, the same setup as in class.

These were the students from Class Two and Class Four, while yesterday, it was Class One and Class Three.

Lin Guang was not the type who liked to attract attention, so he found a corner to stand, planning to sneak in quietly behind the line, but soon enough, he felt eyes sweeping over him repeatedly, or rather, they were more focused on Vishdair beside him.

"Is he the Lin Guang from Class One?"

"It’s really a Beautiful Maiden Spirit Beast like the rumors. Damn it, why..."

"Why is he here anyway?"

"Could it be he’s here to bum off the class?"

"Enduring two consecutive days of Spirit Pattern drawing? He’s an iron man, right."

"Probably, I guess he took some Potion or something."

Indeed, Lin Guang was there to bum off the class, during lunch break he had already contacted his class teacher Ouyang Wei and received permission from him.

After exiting meditation, the Spirit Pattern delineated within the Sea of Spirit gradually disintegrates. Theoretically, even with the same resource consumption, it should be arranged to have Spirit Pattern classes daily, allowing students to master Spirit Patterns as early as possible.

But for most students studying the Enslavement Contract Technique, it would only add excessive mental burden, achieving nothing in the end.

Lin Guang also almost reached his limit during meditation in the morning, logically speaking, students who haven’t reached One-Star level absolutely cannot continue delineating Spirit Patterns, yet he indeed felt no big issue.

It wasn’t simply drinking Potions, although Meditation Potion did play a significant role, the main reason was Lin Guang’s high proficiency in meditation. For a tough guy capable of replacing sleep with meditation, the meditation burden in Spirit Pattern class wasn’t too great; entering meditation state was as effortless as Vishdair falling asleep reading a book, coupled with the all-around support of Power of Whole Heart and Soul, achieving this was quite normal.

However, even though the effect of the Meditation Room wouldn’t change with the number of people, it wasn’t clear whether Vishdair was too conspicuous or felt that they’d invaded "resources," there were still many unfriendly glances directed at the two.

Well, seems like today will be another fruitful day.

With the instructor’s order, the lobby suddenly turned into a zoo; Vishdair grinned and made an international friendly gesture toward the crowd, following the target Spirit Beast to the playground outside, while Lin Guang entered the Meditation Room with the teacher who taught Ethereum Charging.

The long class bell rang, Lin Guang slowly opened his eyes, and the Spirit Pattern delineated within the Sea of Spirit was already 39% of a complete Spirit Pattern — indeed the morning’s consumption was excessive, plus delineation itself progresses faster at first then slows down, so the progress being slower than last time is normal, but already counted as extremely fast, and he was quite satisfied.

Just delineating efficiency over ten times that of ordinary people is no big deal among our system flow protagonists.jpg

On the other hand...

[Your partner Vishdair defeated a White Level 9 enemy, Star Shards progress bar increased.]

[Your partner Vishdair defeated a Green Level 9 enemy, Star Shards progress bar increased.]

[Your partner Vishdair defeated a Green Level 6 enemy, Star Shards progress bar increased.]

...

[Star Shards progress bar 100%, received 1 Star Shard.]

Pretty much what was expected.

Although having already consumed two Starlight, the progress bar’s rising speed is still quite fast; by this progress, the system’s final core talent will be unlocked by Friday.

A slight smile couldn’t help but curve Lin Guang’s lips, as he closed his eyes to continue meditating while the surrounding Spiritual Element Ether was still active, again harvesting a pile of startled and admiring glances from weary students.

...

According to the plan, by the next morning, Doctor Kaiwen was already prepared to set a plan for Lin Guang and Vishdair’s training.

Due to Lin Guang’s Blue level talent, Power of Omniscience and Omnipotence, and Meditation Potion, he held an advantage above most, be it in delineating Spirit Patterns or meditation speed, so he could have it all.

Given the Spirit Pattern class was in the afternoon, time available for training was only left to morning and evening, alternating between "Spirit Beast battles" and "high-pressure meditation—skill physical training."

Spirit Beast battles naturally involved Lin Guang and Vishdair together, battling Instructor Yu and the Level 15 Earth Guardian Doll, with the training focus being their mutual understanding and Lin Guang’s "Perception" and information conveying "speed," needing to transfer information to Vishdair the moment Etheral Fluctuation emitted by the instructor’s Spirit Beast is perceived.

As for high-pressure meditation, it involved entering the Meditation Pod that collects data, engaging in meditation under high-pressure intensity.

This training felt like a weighted long run, allowing Lin Guang to adapt to future combat’s high-pressure environment early, improving endurance, Spiritual Power, concentration, etc., fortifying his foundation.

Even if the Spirit Pattern of Ethereum Charging imprinted in the brain by Spiritual Shock hadn’t begun to blur, Lin Guang would still choose to delineate Equal Contract’s Spirit Pattern—since this high-burden meditation wasn’t suitable for precise Spirit Pattern drawing.

But Meditation Contract Technique was entirely different; it wasn’t so rigid and was rather more flexible.

Be it Enslavement Contract or Equal Contract, both would be compulsory education for all regular students starting from junior high.

It can be imagined, since junior high students can mostly learn it, its difficulty is certainly not high.

In fact, the initially taught Contract Technique Rune is only the most basic prototype; once proficiency reaches "Entering the Hall," one needs to rely on personal attempts and insights to "grow" Spirit Patterns most suitable to one’s spirit and soul from the prototype. Eventually, each person’s exclusive contract Spirit Pattern will differ, leading to various functions and differences, thus you can confidently proceed.

Moreover, according to Doctor Kaiwen, the high-pressure meditation training seems not as simple as it appears, with further advanced techniques following, although he currently lacks the qualification to employ them.

It’s not that Equal Contract Technique’s Mastery realm is insufficient, rather it’s that his current personal Level is too low, not even enough to fully demonstrate the advantages of this realm, let alone further utilization.

Regarding the ultimate pinnacle realm, it’s not something achieved simply by accumulating proficiency and time; there’s little hope of reaching it before college graduation, but without small steps, there’s no journey of a thousand miles. Lin Guang is in no hurry, maintaining humility and patience.
