Chapter 48 48. The Progressive Russell
"Is it really okay?" Nanami hesitated.
She probably understood that this was an initiation ceremony similar to "voting a certificate of name". By making the members commit evil acts, it strengthens the members' dependence on the gang.
The girl with heavy makeup, codenamed Jade Cat, glanced at Nanami with disdainful eyes:
"What are you afraid of? Clara is no longer a freshman within one year of admission, and is not protected by the freshman. Even during the freshman protection period, we have done it. She. She is so timid that she doesn’t dare to tell anyone else anything that happens to her.”
Osprey also agreed and said,
“I heard that Clara’s background seems to be very sensitive, and she doesn’t dare to mess with anything for fear of getting into trouble. What happened? I can't continue studying in the academy."
Hearing what everyone said, Nanami nodded silently: "I will find a chance."
...
The sun is like an overripe tomato that is too red, being blown away by the distance. The tip of the bell tower was pierced, revealing the crimson sunset.
At the edge of the playground, Russell stood under the setting sun, practicing necromancy, trying to drive different ghosts, and thinking about ways to improve the spirit of soul-stirring.
A plan that doesn’t involve painting.
As a scumbag who can only draw stick figures, this is very necessary!
Now, Russell already had the knowledge he had learned from the witchcraft principles class before, and he also had a direction for improving his spells.
After a period of thinking, Russell gradually came up with an idea.
He took out his cell phone.
Then I took a selfie of myself.
eggplant!
Since painting can capture one’s soul, wouldn’t taking photos be the same?
Oh no, taking pictures is more like painting, surpassing the level of top painters in terms of realism. According to the witchcraft similarity ratio, the photo has a mystical connection with the person and should be larger than the portrait!
The moment he pressed the shutter button, Russell suddenly felt dizzy.
When he was taking pictures just now, he poured spiritual energy into his mobile phone and tried to activate the soul-stirring technique. Sure enough, this spell was successfully activated by taking photos.
Unfortunately, the vertigo was neither deep nor lasted long. But even so, he was satisfied enough.
Sure enough, taking pictures can capture people's soul. The people of the Qing Dynasty are so sincere! Over the next period of time, Russell tried it many times until he was completely proficient.
In the process, Russell also gained a general understanding of the limitations and characteristics of the Soul-Calling Technique—
after each spell is cast, there will be a buffer period of several seconds for the spell to be cast.
Each soul-stirring spell can temporarily make you lose consciousness for about two seconds. If you encounter an opponent with a higher spiritual level, the effect may become worse.
If a target is struck by the spirit spell multiple times in a short period of time, or if the spirit is severely traumatized or shocked before being struck by the spirit spell, it may even cause a coma on the spot. The premise is that the target's spiritual level is not much higher than your own, and must be within the first grade range.
After using this technique to take pictures and take pictures, I will also have a portable control method when I engage in spell battles in the future. And compared to other methods of casting spells, taking pictures is undoubtedly much more secretive. Russell was quite satisfied.
After improving his spell, Russell turned around and prepared to leave the playground.
Only then did he realize that even though he had practiced casting spells for a long time, he didn't feel as mentally tired as before.
Russell closed his eyes slightly and realized that in the process of adapting the spell, his spiritual level seemed to have increased a lot, just like he had been practicing meditation using the 10-year-old version for a month or two.
"Could it be said that randomly changing spells will also give me feedback on the path to transcendence? Is it more effective than normal spiritual practice?"
Russell had a certain conjecture and planned to verify it slowly in the future.
Russell's spiritual level is now close to the middle of first grade. Unfortunately, the meditation method for 10-year-old children taught in "Happy Learning Magic" has reached its own bottleneck. Continuing meditation will have minimal spiritual improvement.
"I urgently need to master more advanced spiritual practices. I wonder if they will be taught in the spiritual practice classes that are about to start?" Russell walked back to the
dormitory and checked the campus official website on his mobile phone again to see if there were any. There are no new quests available.
His current capital reserve has reached 19 college gold coins, but if he is promoted to the second grade, he needs to collect 30 college gold coins for tuition and teaching materials, and there is still a lot of shortfall.
Besides, he must have other occult expenditures this year. Russell was very interested in many extraordinary items on the trading platform.
