Chapter 8 The Age of Barbarism
Xia Li opened the textbook of "Basics of Source" again.
‘The cultivation progress of the source technique is divided into three stages according to proficiency: beginners, small success, and great success. The level after the great success has nothing to do with proficiency.’
‘Beginner stage: You can barely use the source technique without anyone being disturbed.’
‘Small-level stage: Under normal interference, you can still use the source technique and ensure a high success rate. Generally speaking, you can already use it for combat until the small-level stage of practice.’
‘In the great stage, the source technique is almost a physical instinct. It not only greatly accelerates the casting speed, but also reduces unnecessary source power loss.’
At the footer, there are a few lines of beautiful small characters, which are Shen Qingyan’s experience and insights:
‘Even if you have practiced the source technique to great success, you still need to practice it frequently.’
‘Practicing the source technique is like sailing against the current, and if you don’t advance, you will retreat. If you don’t practice diligently, you will become unfamiliar, the application time will increase, and the failure rate will increase.’
‘Therefore, most sources will practice several source techniques in a certain series based on their own source root talents, rather than greed for more and more.’
Yuanyuan Talent? What is that thing.
Xia Li frowned. Could it be that the textbook content I hadn't seen before? He wrote down this term and continued to turn the page and read it down.
Finally, an hour has arrived.
Xia Li opened "The Story of the War Girl".
[After the training, Zhan Ji Xiali has learned the basic source technique: Domineering Slash. Current progress: Beginner. Is it synchronized?]
Xia Li chooses synchronization.
In an instant, Xia Li felt that he had sublimated again.
The memory of the sword was boring and practicing the domineering slash was integrated into Xia Li's mind.
As a 2D paper man, Tool Girl has advantages that real people cannot reach when practicing source techniques.
When real people practice source techniques, they need to consume physical energy and energy, and the most important thing is to consume source power. These require rest to be supplemented.
Maybe I just found the feeling, but I forgot it when I was resting.
Tool Girl does not need rest, physical strength, spirit and source power can be said to be endless.
Xia Li raised a finger, simulated a long sword, and slashed down at the paper cup in front of him.
The source power in the body runs along a specific source vein and is combined with the image in Xia Li's mind.
laugh!
A light white light shot out from Xia Li's fingertips, like a real long sword.
Swish!
The paper cup, along with the tray below, is divided into two!
Even the desktop was cut through.
Fortunately, this sword is relatively short, otherwise the table would have to be cut in half.
This is the power of the source technique!
Even the basic source technique is not something that ordinary people or ordinary objects can resist.
If Xia Li used a real sword, his power would definitely be much stronger than his fingers.
‘Without anyone’s interference, the success rate is still very high… However, if someone interferes, I may not be able to ensure the stability of my mind and the operation of the source power, and there will be a possibility of failure.’
‘And, the source technique, control and accuracy in the beginner stage were not enough. I originally wanted to cut only a paper cup, but even the tray and table below were cut open. I still had to continue practicing.’
Xia Li called out the Zhan Ji management interface.
Sure enough, in the command column, he discovered a new sub-option - Source Technique Training.
It is similar to Xia Lichai. If you have mastered a source technique, you can do source technique training, so the source technique training options will also appear.
Xia Li immediately started the source technique training and selected the target source technique: Domineering Slash.
He quickly got a prompt that it would take 5 hours to practice "Domstic Slash" to the stage of small-scale development.
I didn't say anything, practice.
The textbook says that the source technique at the beginning stage cannot be used in actual combat. Only by practicing until a small success can it have practical significance.
Xia Li was still very satisfied with the lethality of this source technique. It was worth it to spend 5 hours practicing to achieve a small achievement.
Just as Tool Ji was waving the knife seriously and putting it away to practice, Xia Li completed two hours of morning reading and rushed to the classroom with his schoolbag on his back.
...
During the morning class, Xia Li still listened carefully and took notes.
It is worth mentioning that today there is a class by the class teacher Lin Miaohan, "Runes Common Sense".
"Please turn to the last question of the simulation paper and rune model analysis."
Lin Miaohan pinched the chalk and drew the rune model for the last question on the blackboard.
She was wearing a light purple professional dress today, and the rune model she drew was beautiful and round.
"Before talking about this question, I will ask a classmate to help you review some basic knowledge points."
Lin Miaohan looked at Xia Li, who was writing hard at the end of the classroom.
"Sir Xia Li, please answer the relationship between symbols, runes and runes models."
Many students showed relaxed expressions, which was a free score.
Obviously, Lin Miaohan asked this question with great painstaking efforts.
Xia Li stood up. Fortunately, he carved it in the morning.
"Multiple symbols are arranged in a specific order to form runes; multiple runes are combined in a specific structure to form runes model."
Lin Miaohan nodded. Teacher Liu Siyu, who taught "Common Knowledge of the Source World" yesterday, said it was right. Xia Li really changed a lot. Most students know these two sentences, but they must have used their hearts to memorize them.
"Very good, then do you know the role of rune models in real life?" Lin Miaohan added a question.
Fortunately, this question is not difficult, and it is also common sense.
Xia Li replied: "Runish models can be used in many places. The weapon refiner inscribes rune models on formed weapons and equipment, and can create rune equipment. The talisman maker inscribes rune models on special animal skins and can create rune scrolls."
Everyone in the class looked at Xia Li with surprise.
It’s one thing to have a simple question, but the person who answered it was Xia Li, which was not normal no matter how you look at it.
"Very good, please sit down." Lin Miaohan praised, "Student Xia Li has made great progress... Okay, let's take a look at this rune analysis question. First, we analyze its surface structure based on the form of rune connection..."
When it comes to questions involving this kind of application analysis, Xia Li, who has no foundation, is like listening to the heavenly book. He can only try hard to write down what Lin Miaohan said in his notes, and then go back to study after reading all the textbooks in high school.
get out of class is over.
Xia Li was sorting out his notes, and a small voice came over again.
"Jiang Hua, a good student like us who study hard every day, will occasionally be scolded by the teacher if he is distracted. Some scumbags skip school every day and get praise if they are serious. Tell me, is this reasonable?"
Xia Li looked up and saw that it was Lu Yuming again.
Lu Yuming glared: "What are you looking at?"
Something is wrong.
Xia Li tasted a little bit. In the past, Lu Yuming was just a verbal blow, but today it was a bit of a provocation.
"If you don't look at me, how could you know I look at you?" Xia Li replied.
"Damn, you have a genital."
Lu Yuming came to Xia Li with his strong arms: "You are the only one in the third grade who is ranked above 1,000 in actual combat. If you dare to be so arrogant, you are the only one in the Third Middle School."
"How much do you rank in actual combat?" Xia Li remained silent.
"562!" Lu Yuming said proudly.
"It's not very high." When Xia Li heard that the grade ranking was 500+, he instantly felt that Lu Yuming was very weak.
Deputy squad leader Jiang Hua, with a soft tone: "Xia Li, you don't understand the gap between these two rankings... To be precise, you, one thousand people, don't even have the qualifications to challenge Lu Yuming and initiate a public duel. I advise you to apologize to him, don't be a clown who has no strength and can only talk...."
Lu Yuming was already very angry and said, "Jiang Hua, you don't have to give this kid a step... Xia Li, it's true that you don't have the qualification to challenge me, but I'll give you a chance to go to the duel stage! Do you dare?"
School rules do not allow students to fight privately, but advocate open duels.
After all, "Practical Battle" is the main subject of the college entrance examination, and the system of open duels is conducive to maintaining the bloodiness of combat students and venting their energy that they have nowhere to rest.
The venue for the public duel of Lincheng No. 3 Middle School is the duel platform located in the school playground, also known as the PK platform.
Xia Li glanced at Lu Yuming: "You said you were duel, I was going to duel with you? Why?"
In Xia Li's perception, this sentence is fine.
However, when Xia Li saw the students around him looking at him with strange eyes, he woke up.
This is the era of source energy! An era of a very developed civilization, but with a barbaric atmosphere and admiration of force.
In this era, it is undoubtedly extremely unfriendly to the weak.
In universal concepts, the weak should respect the strong and be respectful and humble.
Like Xia Li, who openly retorts with Lu Yuming but refuses to accept the challenge, is what Jiang Hua said as a clown who has no strength and can only talk, and will be looked down upon.
However, Xia Li did not think about following the local customs.
What’s wrong with being looked down upon? How can you be worse than Mr. Xia’s image?
"Are you scared?" Lu Yuming snorted, "I know I'm afraid, so I'll be a human being with my tail in the future!"
Zheng Tong said: "Forget it, Lao Lu, there is no benefit in your duel with Xia Li. Even if you win, you will not be ranked and you will not get the ranking reward."
Wait, ranking reward?
Xia Li suddenly remembered that the school did have this statement. Every time the actual ranking is improved, there will be corresponding rewards. The greater the increase, the richer the reward!
Chapter completed!
