Chapter 29 Little Nick’s Wish [Please read]
This scene reminded Chen Xuan of a concept mentioned by Kitten Girl:
[The body is the container of magic]
...
The free magic that goes around and around and finally escapes is not like water off a duck's back.
They subtly temper the body.
This is a strengthening process from the inside out that requires time and effort.
The part of the magic power that settles becomes the magic element that merges with the body.
Even if they are consumed, they will be quickly restored with the passage of time or external replenishment.
When in the empty state, Xu Dan's figure is completely filled with light gray, which means that he has reached the peak of the black iron level.
If you continue to practice, as the free magic power is tempered, your figure will change from gray-white to pure white.
From now on, the colors change from green, blue, purple, orange, and gold.
This is also consistent with the color hierarchy of the magic core.
This is recorded in detail in "Basic Magical Elements Training Method".
There is no bottleneck in the strict sense in the follow-up, the difference is the speed of absorbing magic power.
The further you go, the greater the total amount of magic power that needs to be absorbed and extracted at each level.
At the same time, as the body improves, the tempering effect of magic power will become weaker and weaker.
Because the body's carrying capacity is always difficult to keep up with the improvement of thoughts.
Of course, this refers to the case of regular magic cultivation alone.
There is no such problem in dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, but practicing magic and spiritual power at the same time requires more training time, even if the time saved in training by talent is included.
Combining the two, his time consumption is about the same as that of ordinary individual practitioners.
But the combat effectiveness they can exert at the same level is completely different.
Theoretically, if you have an infinite lifespan and don't have to worry about food and drink, and practice hard in seclusion for tens of thousands of years, even the dullest guy can become a top powerhouse.
But this assumption is like a daydream.
The feeling of practicing is quite good, and the body and mind are more relaxed in the state of emptiness.
But as the body continues to be tempered, there is still a slight sense of fatigue accumulating.
Rebecca was glad that her master did not dislike the environment of the humble room.
This gives her more opportunities to spend time with her family.
And after spending nearly a day together, she felt that Chen Xuan's temper was not bad.
Chen Xuan had previously said that as long as he served him well, he would find a way to cure his mother and younger brother.
At the time, Kitty Girl thought it was just a false promise, but now she suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.
Let’s not talk about other aspects, just being able to modify the contract is enough to prove that the owner is a well-deserved potential stock!
Coupled with his good character, he might actually be able to fulfill his promise!
She sat cross-legged across from Chen Xuan, raising her head slightly and staring at his face.
After staring silently for a while, she breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes and entered a state of cultivation.
...
time flies by.
The pseudo-night has passed and the moonlit night has arrived.
Unknowingly, Chen Xuan and Rebecca had returned to the world of Naroa for more than thirty hours.
When Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, Rebecca was cooking soup under the hanging stove.
"Gululu..."
A hungry cry came from his belly, accompanied by an indescribable feeling of exhaustion.
"Hmm...Rebecca, how long has it been?"
He called softly. In fact, he could interrupt the practice process at any time.
But Chen Xuan wanted to challenge the limit of what he could endure in a single practice.
So he persisted until exhaustion took up most of his perception and his mind was unable to control the magic power before he exited the state of emptiness.
Hearing his voice, Rebecca, who was stirring the black clay pot with a wooden spoon, quickly stopped.
"You're awake!"
"Four water hours have passed!"
"You are really amazing. I have never seen anyone able to practice continuously for so long!" "
This proves that you indeed have top-notch magic cultivation talent! "
Kitten Girl took off her leather armor and was only wearing the casual long-sleeved shirt that Chen Xuan bought for her.
Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her smooth white arms.
"Well, it's indeed long enough..."
"I have to go out for a while."
Chen Xuan rubbed his face, stood up slowly, walked out of the shack with exhaustion, and found a corner to drain away the burden on his body.
The sky was filled with stars outside, but Rat Alley was completely dark.
Only the distant core city and the dome towers had flickers of firelight.
He took out several boxes of self-heating rice and a bucket of mineral water from the storage compartment before returning to the house.
"Have you eaten?"
Chen Xuan brought a lot of food, which could easily feed several people.
But Rebecca smiled and nodded.
"We've already eaten."
She pointed to the seven or eight pieces of gluten bread placed on the rotten wooden table.
Chen Xuan said "Oh" and went to prepare a late dinner, or a midnight snack.
Rebecca's mother was already asleep, and her brother Nick Miri was leaning on the bed, holding a tattered picture album in his hand and looking at Chen Xuan intently.
The big red eyes were full of curiosity and desire.
"Big brother..."
By some mistake, Nick shouted at his back.
When Chen Xuan heard this greeting, he closed the self-heating lunch box filled with water and ingredients, and slowly turned around.
"Sister said...you are her partner?"
"Ahem...then you must be an adventurer too..."
"Your appearance is very special. I have never seen a human like you."
Chen Xuan smiled softly. , just about to walk over and have a chat with Nick.
Rebecca threw away the wooden spoon in a panic and scolded Nick harshly.
"No rudeness!"
"Use the honorific 'you'!"
she emphasized seriously.
Chen Xuan understood that she did not tell her family about her indentured slavery.
This is not good news and can easily cause mood swings for my brother and mother.
Chen Xuan didn't care about this. He raised his eyebrows at Rebecca and signaled her to be calm.
At the same time, he put one hand behind his back and took out a few soft vacuum-packed cakes. He
came to the bedside and looked at little Nick who had just been taught a lesson by his sister and looked a little aggrieved.
"Take this, this is my meeting gift for you."
He placed the small cake in front of Nick.
Little Nick, who was comforted, shook the cat ears on his head.
"Thank you... thank you, big brother!"
"Nick wants to be like you... you can become an adventurer like my sister!" "
This is my wish!"
"But Nick is sick and can't calm down to practice..."
His words Chen Xuan was a little touched.
"There will be a chance."
"As long as you don't give up hope."
...
Chen Xuan felt bitter when he said the dry chicken soup.
Little Nick took it seriously and nodded vigorously.
"Yeah!"
"Sister said that too."
"Nick believes you..."
The room was silent, only the sound of boiling water vapor echoed.
