Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 541: See the truth at noon tomorrow (new book content)
Upon waking up, it was already 10 AM the next day. A bleary-eyed Li Qing took out his phone to check the time.
Sunday, 10:14 AM.
Struggling in bed for a while, Li Qing finally found a comfortable position to begin his daily Meditation.
Now that the Magic Power had taken form, what Li Qing needed to do was continuously increase the total Magic Power. To enhance Magic Power, the improvement of one’s Spiritual Power was still an essential, fundamental source that could not be ignored.
Therefore, the Basic Meditation Technique was essentially still about strengthening one’s Spiritual Power.
The stronger the Spirit, the higher the Magic Power limit, and the faster the increase in total amount.
Four hours later, Li Qing slowly opened his eyes and got out of bed full of energy.
After consolidating Magic Power, Meditation would not deplete oneself; instead, it replenishes, making one’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit full.
This meant that if necessary in the future, he could completely replace sleep with Meditation.
He went downstairs to the familiar breakfast shop and ordered a bowl of hot noodles.
The owner, seeing Li Qing, exclaimed while busying himself, "Little Li, I see you’ve been losing weight recently. Are you on a diet?"
Li Qing replied, "Isn’t it so? I’ve been busy with blind dates lately. Nowadays, young girls all prefer the skinny look, so I decided to improve myself."
While casually responding, he was still contemplating his first magic spell ’Mage’s Hand’. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
If he had to describe it in a specific way, it would be like the superpower effect of Telekinesis.
Most magic spells require four actions: analysis, construction, solidification, and release.
The stronger one’s Magic Power, the stronger the power of the Mage’s Hand.
While eating the noodles, Li Qing was slowly analyzing according to the detailed introduction of Mage’s Hand in Magic Theory.
After paying for the noodles, Li Qing bought a notebook and pen and squatted by the street to write and draw.
An hour later, Li Qing frowned, looking at the various scribbles on his notebook that resembled ghostly symbols.
These deduction nodes for casting magic are similar to the spatial three-dimensional coordinates and Tier Two derivatives in advanced mathematics.
Honestly, it’s been seven or eight years since college, and without applying these advanced math concepts in actual work, they’ve long been forgotten, let alone such specialized math subjects.
He fell silent, looking up at the sky with a slightly difficult expression.
Back then, he was utterly terrible at mathematics, even barely hitting scores of sixty or seventy in high school.
Does he need to return to school?
He hesitated for a long time nearby, his expression changing, and finally, with a sigh, he patted his head, stood up, and walked towards the district library.
Half an hour later, Li Qing was quite frustrated as he looked at the somewhat old high school math textbooks in front of him.
He timidly opened the first page, took a deep breath, meditated for a while following the Meditation Skill, then calmly opened his eyes and looked at the textbook.
When you fully invest yourself, time flies by quickly. By the time Li Qing looked up, four hours had already passed.
With a face of surprise and delight, he closed the first semester curriculum of the first year of high school.
Mad! It’s completely effortless, and I could even draw inferences and deduce the formulas that are needed later.
With newfound enthusiasm, Li Qing eagerly bought textbooks for the entire high school math curriculum and several sets of "Three-Year College Entrance Exam Five-Year Simulation" papers. After leaving the library, he randomly found a place to have dinner and then returned to his rental apartment to rest.
Lying in bed and meditating for two hours, Li Qing, full of energy, opened his eyes once more and resumed studying the textbooks.
If I had this kind of mind back then, Qinghua or Peking University would have clearly been just a multiple-choice question.
This Basic Meditation Technique is quite magical; with the Light Ball formed, it not only increased his Spiritual Power but also added to his Intelligence.
If only the character panel could display his Attributes.
Thinking this, Li Qing instinctively opened his character panel during a break to take a look.
"Surname: Li Qing
Tier: Junior Apprentice
Intelligence: 3
Physical Strength: 0.8
Acquired Skills: Basic Meditation Technique (Entry Level)
Talent: Identification Skill (Level 1)
Character Evaluation: A cunning human villain embracing evil!!"
The character evaluation had changed again, but that’s not what mattered.
The character panel indeed changed according to his thoughts; it seems the Devil summoned has fully transformed into a system interface.
So it should use 1 as a baseline, assuming the average for ordinary people is 1, with fluctuations above and below.
Having intelligence twice that of an average person gives him an astonishing speed of thought, but his Physical Strength is a bit lacking.
Li Qing was thrilled for a while, though it seemed reasonable. Even a single Level 0 Magic requires extensive calculations and deductive analysis. Without sufficient Intelligence to support the nodes of Magic Power flow, you wouldn’t even understand the purpose of each flow node.
Analysis, construction, solidification, release.
The four steps of using magic, none can be omitted.
If logical thinking isn’t strong, understanding these things would be challenging.
Not until past 11:40 did Li Qing finally close the textbook with reluctance; these days, he finally found the drive to study as before.
Honestly, if he had studiously learned like this during his student days, he would definitely have enrolled in a prestigious university.
Even without the intelligence he has now.
A diligent-type genius, as long as they have normal-range intelligence, any ordinary person can achieve it. More emphasis should be on self-discipline.
The time was about right.
Li Qing checked the time, donned the black robe, and looked around his rental apartment.
He had to find time to change places.
After entering the safe house of the Gray Magic Academy, Li Qing prepared a bit and opened the door early to enter the classroom.
With the prior example of those before them, none of the fourteen remaining students wanted to be late.
After arriving at his seat, he saw groups of students in the classroom slowly conversing, while some like Li Qing remained silent.
Or rather, most were silent, with only a few students exchanging whispers.
A figure in a black robe with blue edges suddenly appeared on the podium. It was still the catfish-headed Rosenberg, although completely hidden within the black robe.
"Alright, students, now, show your results. Let me see what Devils following your hearts look like. Come up one by one for me to inspect, starting from the first row on the left."
Rosenberg spoke quite leisurely. If not for the previous image of him consuming students haunting their minds, everyone would think him a rather noble gentleman.
Seeing the black-robed student step forward to stand in front of Rosenberg, Rosenberg slightly raised his hand, a faint azure glow wafted around the black-robed student’s front, then he lowered his hand.
