......
When we arrived at the canteen, there was already a long queue.
Only after a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage can they begin to abstain from grains. For students who are only at the Qi Refining stage, food and sleep are indispensable.
"..." Chen Yi looked at this scene and felt as if he had returned to his student days.
The system gives a lunch break of half an hour, but in reality, it includes the journey to the canteen and the time spent queuing, so the actual time to eat is probably only about ten minutes.
He didn't waste time while waiting in line; he kept circulating his profound skills, but his proficiency in the technique didn't increase at all.
The main reason is that the fourth and seventh levels of Qi Refining represent the thresholds for the middle and late stages, respectively, so there will be bottlenecks.
Given Chen Yi's physical talent, breaking through the bottleneck was indeed not easy.
Looks like I'll need to get a few more "Happy Charms" to increase my chances...
After queuing for seven or eight minutes, it was finally Chen Yi's turn to buy food.
He shouted at the cafeteria window that sold synthetic foods:
"Auntie, one combo meal, please!"
The so-called "synthetic meal" is food made from synthesized vegetables and meat, which is cheaper than pre-cooked meals. Although it doesn't look very appealing, it's plentiful and filling.
There was no other way; he only had 50 yuan left. If he didn't spend it sparingly, he probably wouldn't last until tomorrow night.
"15 yuan, kid." The aunt recognized Chen Yi and suddenly stopped shaking.
If this kid still has shaky hands after eating processed foods every day, then I'm really not human...
After lunch, there was no lunch break; instead, classes continued.
After all, the students at Xiande Middle School are all cultivators. Although they are only at the Qi Refining stage and their lifespan is not much longer than that of ordinary people, they still have this much energy.
......
Chen Yi's class had a magic spell class in the afternoon.
Techniques were initially used for attaining enlightenment, not for fighting.
However, because it is easy to cultivate—it takes less time and has lower requirements compared to the other five arts, and it is more powerful in combat—it is sought after by cultivators and thus becomes the first of the six arts.
However, the mana in the body of a Qi Refining cultivator is gaseous, thin and unstable, so they can only master some relatively simple spells.
The techniques mainly include palm techniques, finger techniques, fist techniques, spear techniques, knife techniques, sword techniques, and Five Elements techniques.
Of course, there are also some unorthodox techniques, but the schools mainly teach the ones mentioned above.
"This afternoon we'll mainly practice fireball spells. For other sword and blade techniques, interested students can contact me to sign up for tutoring," said Lei Mu, the spellcasting teacher, in a deep voice.
Chen Yi was already used to this.
Teachers are also cultivators; how can they pursue the Great Dao if they don't earn some extra money?
That's all I have to say. Everyone, find a place to practice on your own!
Remu crossed his arms and quietly watched the crowd.
The vast training ground was open for students to practice at their leisure.
These training grounds range in size from about half the size of a badminton court, enough to accommodate 1 to 4 people practicing magic together, to as large as a basketball court, enough to accommodate 10 people practicing together.
Chen Yi found a small training ground and went inside; no one else came in after him.
After all, nowadays, everyone has their own small circle, which makes it convenient for them to exchange ideas and offer guidance.
For a marginal figure like Chen Yi, it's quite easy to dominate a field.
He had no feelings about it; on the contrary, he was happy to see it happen.
It's awesome to have a small training ground all to myself!
Immediately afterwards, he practiced the techniques he had memorized over and over again.
Fireball!
The magical power within the body circulates along the meridians throughout the body, eventually being unleashed.
A burning sensation gathered in his palm, and a fireball the size of a palm appeared.
Chen Yi found it very amazing.
In my previous life, this was a scene that only existed in movies, TV dramas, and novels.
"Bang!"
A fireball slammed into an iron figure in front of him, sparks flying everywhere...
However, the black iron man remained completely still, leaving no trace.
In contrast, the fireball spell unleashed by Zhao Manjin in the adjacent arena was several times larger than a human head.
"laugh!"
A single shot hitting the Iron Man will cause the affected area to glow red for several seconds...
"As expected of the class monitor!"
Three or five boys surrounded Zhao Manjin, looking on in amazement.
Of course, Chen Yi wasn't paying attention to any of that.
He was already immersed in his own world.
This feeling of gradually getting stronger is strangely addictive.
If you put in effort but don't receive positive feedback, you'll inevitably waver and start to doubt yourself.
But with his mastery of the planning system, he knew that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely be rewarded, and the rewards came so quickly that he naturally transformed into a curly-dog shape...
[Through your efforts, your magical skill has improved; proficiency +3]
[Through effort...]
After entering a state of flow, Chen Yi's speed in condensing fireballs increased, and his understanding of this technique deepened.
However, another problem arose before him: his Qi Refining Level 3 mana was somewhat insufficient.
You can only practice for a while and then rest for a while.
Meanwhile, wealthy students like Zhao Manjin have already taken out various supplements to replenish their lost mana.
However, Chen Yi could only practice intermittently, coordinating his breathing exercises with his internal energy. Once his magical power was almost fully restored, he would unleash another attack.
Even so, an hour later, the fireball he had condensed had grown from the size of a palm to the size of a human head.
This scene also caught the attention of Remu, who was patrolling outside the door.
To be able to condense a fireball of this size, one must either have an extremely high level of mastery over this technique or have reached around the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Clearly, Chen Yi belonged to the former category.
For Remu, the former is clearly more worthy of attention.
Because this signifies powerful fire-attribute comprehension.
It is said that in some advanced cultivation countries, geniuses possess fire-attribute spiritual roots and can unleash fire-based spells even more powerful than fireball spells during the Qi Refining stage.
Did Chen Yi have spiritual roots? The answer is obviously no.
Because Xiande Middle School conducts annual physical examinations on its students, those with spiritual roots are identified and treated as key individuals for further development.
"This kid is interesting..." Lei Mu muttered to himself, "However, breaking through from minor to major mastery is not easy, especially when one's cultivation level is insufficient."
After saying that, he continued to inspect the other training grounds.
At this moment, Chen Yi was still immersed in the process of gradually becoming stronger.
[Through your efforts, your magical skill has improved; proficiency +3!]
[Through effort...]
As proficiency increased, the size of the fireball that was condensed did not continue to increase; instead, it returned to its initial size of only the size of a palm.
But Chen Yi knew that the two were not the same concept at all.
Although they are the same size, their power has increased several times over.
Only then did he realize that fireballs like Zhao Manjin's, which were several times larger than a human head, were simply made to look more spectacular by adding magic power to those who had only mastered the fireball technique to a lesser degree.
Generally speaking, the level of mastery of techniques is divided into: beginner, minor achievement, major achievement, perfection, and ultimate mastery.
Beginners can only unleash 40% of the power of the technique, those who have "achieved minor success" can unleash 60%, those who have "achieved major success" can unleash 80%, and those who have "perfected" can unleash 100%.
Those who have reached the "Transcendent Realm" can even unleash more than 100% of the power of a technique.
Chen Yi's mastery of the fireball technique has now reached a high level.
[I have mastered the Fireball technique to its current limit!]
Spell Level 0 - Proficiency 60/100 (+30)
Chen Yi withdrew from his state of perfect tranquility.
Have we reached our limit?
He has now reached his maximum level of mastery of the Fireball spell, and this has increased his overall spell level by 30 points of proficiency.
"Once the limit is reached, activating fireballs again will no longer increase proficiency..." Chen Yi murmured.
But it doesn't matter, he also possesses another Five Elements technique called the Wind Control Technique.
As the name suggests, it is the power to harness the wind.
They can control objects with the wind and even achieve short-term flight.
There's still an hour and a half until get out of class ends at 3 p.m. Let's see how much we can improve our proficiency.
If all goes well, we should be close to level 1.
If all else fails, according to the schedule, I still have to study magic for a while from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM tonight. At worst, I can practice fist, palm, knife, and spear magic tonight. I should be able to reach level 1 by now, right?
"Hmm, it seems there's a good chance I can raise my spell to level 1 today..." Chen Yi murmured.
