The expression on Heiyuan's face changed obviously, and it was hard for Lin You not to notice it.
The teacher seemed shocked?
There was definitely something wrong with the alarm ringing just now. Could something have gone wrong?
Lin You felt a little uneasy.
After all, it's an alarm, and it doesn't look like a good thing no matter how you look at it.
But at this moment, Hei Yuan took a deep breath, as if suppressing a certain fear in his heart, and his expression returned to being cold, just like the expression he had when he was the examiner that day, but his heart was confused and entangled.
He really wanted to shout out loud, "Boy, how about being my apprentice?"
Not a student, but an apprentice!
This privilege is only available to master duelists, and only once!
But he resisted the urge for the moment and wanted to confirm the last point.
But as of now, Lin You’s talent as a psychic is already frighteningly high.
Although this is just a starting talent, the starting point is a bit too high.
Because of his innate demon-adaptable physique, Lin You's soul affinity is self-evident, but unexpectedly, his talent in soul sensitivity is even more amazing.
In just over two minutes, he had captured a soul aura with a purity of 77%.
You know, it took Hei Yuan more than five minutes to capture the soul breath back then.
When one has both soul affinity and soul sensitivity, the so-called high starting point does not mean true talent and is likely to be overturned.
Now there's only one last thing left to do, and it's also the most important.
Lin You, who possesses both affinity and sensitivity, must have a high level of 'real talent'.
The only suspense is how high it can go.
"Ahem."
Hei Yuan coughed twice and looked at Lin You quietly for a moment. He had behaved a little bit inappropriately just now. If he behaved like this in front of students, his status would easily drop. Fortunately, the student did not have any special reaction for the time being.
After gathering his emotions, Hei Yuan said with a look of satisfaction, "Yes, your soul sensitivity is not inferior to your talent in affinity. With such a level, you are worthy of being my student."
Good talent?
Lin You breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the alarm. Instead, the teacher's reaction just now was a little too much, right?
Before he could think about it, Hei Yuan said with anticipation, "With both soul affinity and sensitivity, I'm looking forward to seeing how much of your initial soul power you can unlock."
"Initial soul power?"
Lin You was startled, then asked with some joy, "Teacher, what you mean is that after it is activated, I can officially master the power of the soul and become a psychic?"
“It’s not that simple.”
Hei Yuan shook his head slightly, but after a moment, he added: "But that's for ordinary people. If it's you, there will probably be no problem."
Seeing the surprise in Lin You's eyes, Hei Yuan continued, "Psychics are actually the same as Duelists. They also have their own specific rank system, but it's relatively simple. There are only seven ranks: Beginner, Ordinary, Senior, Expert, Master, Grandmaster, and Legendary. There are no detailed star ratings like Card Creators."
"But in reality, there are huge differences among psychics of the same level, and the higher the level, the greater the differences. The requirement for entry is 100 points of spiritual power."
"Can soul power be digitized?"
Lin You was a little surprised, but not too strange.
Since magic power can work, soul power can work, so it doesn’t matter.
Compared to this, Lin You was concerned about something else and asked hurriedly, "Teacher, do you mean that after I activate my soul power, I can directly reach 100 spiritual power?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, that's it."
Hei Yuan nodded in confirmation and added, "In fact, for those with an innate demon-adaptable physique and a high soul affinity, the spiritual power stimulated in their bodies after 'awakening' is usually no less than 70. For more outstanding ones, it may be 80 or 90."
Hearing this, Lin You was surprised again. Just as he was about to say something, Hei Yuan waved his hand to interrupt him. He had no choice but to listen to him continue: "You are also incredibly talented in soul sensitivity. Although sensitivity and affinity seem to have nothing to do with each other, don't forget that they belong to the same large system of 'soul power'. No matter how good they are, they are inevitably connected."
"Therefore, when your sensitivity talent reaches a certain level, it's normal to counterattack a bit. Taking all of this into consideration, I think it's very likely that you will directly break through 100 points of spiritual power during the spiritual awakening stage."
"Then teacher, come directly."
Lin You was already a little impatient. The way of psychic communication was like opening the door to a new world for him. The large amount of novelty in it made him enjoy it.
Of course, he is not the only one who is looking forward to this.
Heiyuan's expectations were even greater than Lin You's.
What he felt at the moment was as if he had discovered a mountain of gold and silver waiting to be mined. He had already dug out a lot of real gold and silver, and the next step was to swing the most powerful shovel.
The anticipation for this shovel is really off the charts.
Restraining his excitement, Hei Yuan's gaze fell on Lin You and he said solemnly, "You may feel some pain in the process ahead, and it will get worse the further you go. But no matter how painful it is, don't worry, and don't force yourself to persevere, because this process will naturally force you to persevere."
Hearing this, Lin You felt inexplicably frightened.
To put it simply, it means that it will be very painful, but you cannot resist it, and no matter how painful it is, you will definitely persevere to the end. It has nothing to do with willpower, and you will persevere to the limit on your own.
This limit also symbolizes the amount of starting "spiritual power".
Seeing Lin You's expression change slightly, Hei Yuan chuckled in his heart with evil humor.
This is the part he is most looking forward to today, in every sense of the word.
Thinking back to my 'first time', that feeling was heart-wrenching and lasted for a long time.
The worst thing was that before the 'awakening', the teacher didn't warn him that this would happen.
The person Heiyuan respected most in his heart was undoubtedly that teacher, but no matter how thick the filter was, it could not filter out the teacher's evil nature at that time.
Whether or not you are mentally prepared in advance will not affect the "awakening of the spirit" itself.
At first glance, Heiyuan seemed to be very conscientious and told Lin You about this in advance.
But in fact, he inherited the teacher's dark side.
Hei Yuan just had different ideas than before. Now he thought that the 'known' might be more interesting than the 'unknown'.
However, although Lin You was a little panicked in his heart, he quickly calmed down.
Since it is for the purpose of awakening the spirit, you have to endure something.
If rich fruits come too easily, they may not taste sweet.
He quickly made up his mind and said again, "Teacher, come on."
"good."
Heiyuan seemed to have sensed something from Lin You. His eyes changed slightly and his expression became serious. He slowly stretched out his palm, and a pure white halo appeared directly on that palm.
This halo is different from the pure soul power when applying spiritual pressure before. This is pure spiritual power, while before, it was the result of the condensation of spiritual power, and it needed to devour magic power in the middle to form a transformation.
But this simple spiritual power does not require so much trouble.
The moment he released his spiritual power, Heiyuan pointed his palm directly in front of Lin You, and the spiritual power, obeying his will, rushed towards Lin You.
As these spiritual powers surged in, Hei Yuan said, "Close your eyes, relax your whole body and mind, and allow those spiritual powers to invade."
When the voice sounded, Lin You immediately did as he was told, closed his eyes, and completely relaxed his body and mind.
At this moment, the spiritual power seemed to be attracted by something and actively flowed into every part of Lin You's body.
The spiritual power that fell on Lin You was like raindrops falling into the lake. After creating a large number of ripples, it merged into the lake and disappeared completely.
Before he knew it, Lin You seemed to have lost consciousness.
From the outside, it seemed that Lin You, with his eyes tightly closed, was completely unaware of the outside world, and only his breathing was proceeding smoothly and regularly as usual.
But in fact, Lin You's will is still clear, and especially clear!
However, he was now in a pure white world.
This place seems to be the purest spiritual world. All around it is pure white and there are clumps of marshmallows, but they are only the size of bottle caps.
These were exactly what Lin You had captured when he was testing his soul sensitivity in the cabin before, but they were different. Compared to the 'marshmallows' he had captured before, these 'marshmallows' had not changed much in size, but seemed to be whiter and purer.
In such a world, Lin You was like a homeless ghost, his body floating naturally.
Although he didn't know what exactly happened, Lin You didn't think much about it.
Just float.
At least my neck can still move, so I can look around. Although there is not much to see, it is just a bit boring at most.
Lin You, who was thinking this way, just floated for a moment when he suddenly discovered something unusual.
In the pure white ahead, chaos suddenly arose.
In the chaos, some things suddenly came floating at an extremely fast speed.
It was hard to see clearly at first, but as it got closer, Lin You's expression suddenly changed.
It's all a miscellaneous bunch of stuff.
There are hammers, nails, and shovels.
There are big sticks, long sticks, and even a kitchen knife!
They are all pure white and not big. They are mixed together and hard to distinguish from a distance.
After getting closer, Lin You didn't see much due to time constraints, but these alone were enough to fascinate him.
Oh my god, what is this for?
Are you going to kill me?
Lin You didn't have much time to think. In just a few breaths, those things were already within reach.
But at this moment, the sound of Chestnut Ball suddenly rang out.
"Coolie~"
Chestnut Ball appeared directly and stood in front of Lin You. Looking at the flying objects, he was not afraid at all. Instead, a lot of excitement could be seen on his little face.
Lin You's expression changed again, but he quickly opened his eyes wide.
Faced with so many debris, Chestnut Ball stood still and opened his mouth as wide as possible.
Those flying things seemed to have found their home, and they flew in one after another.
No matter whether it was a hammer or a kitchen knife, once it entered the chestnut ball's mouth, it would immediately turn into a pure white light spot.
Lin You was shocked.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
"Lin You, the awakening of the spirit has begun. During this process, your Origin Card will be your right-hand man and the key to this initial development. Don't panic."
It was Hei Yuan's voice.
Lin You felt relieved immediately.
I think so.
It is said that the Origin Cards are a gift from the pure soul and the crystallization of soul power. It is not surprising that they produce benefits during the "awakening" process.
What Lin You didn’t know was that every psychic was also the awakener of the Origin Card.
As for the innate magic-adaptable physique, people with this physique are almost certain to also possess Origin Cards, and the quality of Origin Cards will start at a higher level.
Although he didn't know all this, the moment he heard Heiyuan say that the Origin Card would be a great helper, Lin You felt completely relieved.
When it comes to Chestnut Ball, this 'Awakening of the Spirit', I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep a low profile!
At this moment, just as the chestnut ball absorbed a batch of "junk", another batch of debris came and flew over quickly.
Chestnut Ball remained unmoved, still with its mouth open, letting those things fly towards it.
At this moment, the little guy seemed to have turned into a glutton, and no matter how much food he ate, it was difficult to fill his stomach.
One batch after another, ten minutes passed unknowingly.
The chestnut balls showed no signs of being full and were still being absorbed.
Time passes by extremely quickly, every second.
20, 30, 40, 50 minutes!
One hour!
As we ate, an hour passed.
…
In the laboratory.
Hei Yuan looked very satisfied. On a nearby display screen, the number '80' was displayed.
This means that at this moment, Lin You has completed the activation of 80 points of spiritual power, and his initial spiritual power is over 100, which is a foregone conclusion.
The reason for saying this is because Lin You still looks normal at this moment.
During the 'Spirit Awakening' phase, pain is inevitable. This pain manifests itself when the Origin Card is 'satisfied' and it is the person's turn to absorb it. Since it is the first time the spiritual power is absorbed, it continuously impacts the soul world.
That pain came from the soul, otherwise Hei Yuan would not have forgotten it for the rest of his life.
Of course, as the crystallization of the soul, the Origin Cards have no such concerns when absorbing. Instead, it is a kind of enjoyment for them, just like having a real feast.
Spiritual power is still being input continuously, and it is actually not easy to help others start "awakening their spirits".
At least one has to be an expert psychic to have this ability.
This is not just about inputting spiritual power, but also about inputting spiritual power of high enough quality.
Experts are called 'experts' precisely because of their transformation in spiritual power.
Another hour passed as the spiritual power was input steadily.
Clearly only half an hour had passed, but surprise was already showing on Hei Yuan's face.
The number on the display screen next to it has quietly changed to '130'.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Lin You’s expression is still calm at this moment.
This means that his Origin Card can still be eaten.
It’s no wonder Heiyuan was surprised that it was still edible at this point, but he was more surprised inside.
According to this trend, it should be no problem to sprint to 150. How much can it reach, 160 or 170?
If he really has that level, it would be quite amazing.
Looking back, Hei Yuan's own achievement in the 'Spirit Awakening' stage was only '150'.
And this is strong enough.
Now it seems that Lin You’s talent did not disappoint him, and this is based on the sensitivity test.
Before that, Hei Yuan had never thought that Lin You could have such talent. He was very satisfied that his Qi Ling had 130.
It was originally thought that it would take at least a month to predict Lin You's talent, but at this moment, Heiyuan could already conclude that Lin You was very suitable to embark on the path of a psychic.
It’s a good thing that he has spotted such a talent, otherwise he should really consider how to cheat him from other mentors.
The awakening of the spirit is still going on, which means that Hei Yuan's heart will be difficult to calm down.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes!
Another hour!
This was already the third hour of awakening the spirit. Hei Yuan was completely dazed at the moment. To be exact, he had been in this state for more than twenty minutes.
Fortunately, for a psychic like him, it is okay to input spiritual power and travel into the sky, otherwise something really might go wrong.
The best explanation for why he was like this was the number displayed on the screen next to him - 172!
Based on this number, Lin You's expression——
Still the same as usual!
Heiyuan's stagnation continued, as time continued to pass and the numbers on the side continued to grow.
One hour, two hours, three hours!
When the number on the display jumped to 232, in the soul world, Chestnut Ball's expression suddenly looked a little tired. It had eaten too much and was tired.
But seeing that "food" was still being delivered, Chestnut Ball shouted with a determined look in his eyes and continued eating.
Lin You behind him was a little confused.
What's going on?
Is the teacher scaring me?
pain?
I don’t feel anything!
How long has it been?
Being in the soul world, Lin You didn't feel tired, but just a little bored. He stood there stupidly for a long time, with nothing to do, just watching the little guy Liziqiu eat.
I've eaten so much, I hope there won't be any problems.
Lin You was a little worried.
But the teacher also said that this is beneficial to Qi Ling, so it should be fine, so just continue waiting.
After thinking for a while, Lin You let it go and continued to wait and see what would happen.
After staying like this for a while, an urgent voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"Lin You, are you okay?"
"Um?"
Lin You was slightly stunned. What could happen to him?
Could it be that this little guy really has something wrong with his diet?
"Teacher, I'm fine."
Although he had guesses, Lin You still responded, but he didn't know whether Hei Yuan outside could hear him.
Heiyuan naturally couldn't hear it, but there was obvious anxiety in his eyes in the laboratory.
It is true that the longer the spiritual awakening time is, the higher the benefits are.
But the problem is that Lin You has been doing this for too long, even a little abnormally long.
In Heiyuan's understanding, even his powerful teacher only stayed at 199 points during the spiritual awakening stage, and the limit was stuck before the 200 mark.
But now, Lin You has broken through 250 spiritual power, not only that, he has not felt any pain at all.
This situation is unprecedented for Heiyuan.
Among all the psychics he knew, he had never seen anyone break through the 200 mark.
This seems to be an extremely special threshold.
But Lin You not only stepped in, but also kept moving forward.
His heart was in turmoil, but Heiyuan did not choose to stop. If he interrupted the awakening of the spirit in the middle, it would mean that all the previous efforts would be wasted, and it would inevitably leave Lin You with serious soul trauma.
During this process, a strong soul connection will be formed between the one who awakens the spirit and the one who is awakened. If it is interrupted, the Black Source will need to forcibly extract it.
If an outsider wants to interrupt, he first needs to have spiritual power far beyond that of the person who awakened the spirit. Therefore, this process is actually very safe.
But the current situation was indeed beyond Heiyuan's expectations.
There is nothing to do but wait.
This wait finally ended after nearly two hours.
The moment the number on the display jumped to 299, Lin You opened his eyes in vain. At this moment, he suddenly broke out in a sweat. Beads of sweat the size of beans formed almost instantly, and his eyes were full of fear.
Just now, a feeling of palpitations originating from the soul suddenly arose, but disappeared in an instant.
The whole process may take less than 0.1 second, but it is such a negligible time that makes Lin You feel deeply frightened.
This experience is unprecedented.
So even when he opened his eyes at this moment, he had no idea that he had left the soul world.
“Lin You, Lin You!”
"Lin You, how are you? Speak!"
“…”
I could vaguely hear rapid and nervous sounds, one after another.
A strong sense of trance appeared, Lin You shook his head, and his eyes suddenly became clear again, like a soul that had shed its shell and finally returned to its body after searching for many years.
As soon as he returned to normal, he saw Heiyuan looking anxious but helpless.
"teacher?"
Lin You called out tentatively, feeling a little strange in his heart.
What is the teacher doing? Why is he so anxious?
As soon as he spoke, Heiyuan was stunned, and then he was ecstatic and grabbed him like a puppy, and looked him up and down as if he was looking at a rare treasure that had just been unearthed.
This was not enough. As he watched, Heiyuan was about to take action again and was about to strip off his clothes. Lin You couldn't help but shudder and quickly dodged.
broken.
The teacher is sick!
