Chinese professors at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 33: Continuing the High-Pressure Teaching!

"Beginners may only see a few scattered points of light, but as they cultivate, the number and brightness of the stars will continuously increase."

"However, uncontrolled growth of spiritual energy is dangerous and inefficient. The essence of the Star Art lies in connecting these stars with threads of spiritual energy according to specific, stable geometric patterns, such as triangles, hexagrams, and complex polyhedra, to form star trails."

"Star trails are the channels for the transmission and amplification of spiritual power, and also the basic framework for building spell models in the future."

Jim paused.

Gu Chen was somewhat shocked; it really was word for word!

However, seeing Jim pause, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, this request was still too difficult for Jim; he needed to be patient and persuasive...

"There's another point."

"There is a message from a ninth-ringed wizard in the book."

"He said that if you can't even light up the stars, you can forcefully concentrate your mental energy. Just focus your attention and pray for Lady Luck to smile."

"After all, a loser can only rely on rote memorization and pray for the favor of the goddess of probability."

Jim blushed as he said this.

He was forcibly concentrating his spiritual power, which was clearly an insult to him.

"Clap clap clap".

After Jim finished speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for Gu Chen's criticism.

But he was greeted with crisp applause.

Gu Chen clapped his hands lightly, and when Jim looked up at him, he nodded slightly in affirmation.

Of course we can't keep suppressing them!

Even when teaching according to aptitude, it's important to strike the right balance!

Making Jim extremely withdrawn, insecure, and self-destructive in order to activate his "tenacious will" is certainly not what Gu Chen wanted.

Gu Chen hopes Jim can improve, but only if he is a good person.

So when Jim did what Gu Chen expected, he naturally deserved recognition!

"Not bad, not bad."

"You really memorized it; you weren't lying to the teacher."

"That was great. After all, according to your own words, you were about to be thrown into the Soul Furnace just after you'd almost learned to read enough to understand 'Basic Meditation Method'..."

"Being able to memorize such a short passage in such a short time would definitely be unacceptable for others, but for you, it's quite impressive!"

Jim was stunned when he heard this!

Is the teacher praising themselves?

He naturally noticed the praise in Gu Chen's eyes... Had he met the teacher's requirements?

This affirmation from his teacher naturally brought Jim a surge of joy!

But Gu Chen's next move surprised Jim!

Suddenly, Gu Chen sprang up and appeared right in front of him!

Those eyes widened, staring intently!

"But does that make you complacent?"

The originally calm and gentle tone suddenly rose, and there was not a trace of gentleness in the voice!

"Others at your age have already successfully become apprentices!"

"The more skilled ones have even become low-level first-circle wizards!"

"Even the worst student reached the advanced apprentice level after a year!"

"Even the most useless ones, as long as they're not dead, mean they've become novice apprentices!"

Gu Chen's chest heaved as he uttered words in rapid succession.

"Look at you! It's taken you so long to learn to read, and you're already so smug about reciting a passage. What's with that expression?"

Do you think I'll approve of you and be moved by your efforts?

He spoke loudly, and Jim was stunned by the sudden change!

"Look what you've done, huh?!"

"That senior with nine rings mentioned above is talking about you!"

"waste!"

"Did you try your best? Just do it!"

These words were truly hurtful. Although Gu Chen's expression was fierce, he also felt a little sad when he said them...

If possible, he would certainly like to guide them patiently... but he can't. For a teacher, putting pressure on them often makes them seem harsh and difficult to get along with, which will make students dislike them...

After all, who doesn't like a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere?

Gu Chen had already acknowledged Jim's efforts. Starting from such a low point, someone who couldn't even read a single word was already quite impressive to be able to memorize these few paragraphs…

But then, Jim's reaction surprised Gu Chen once again!

"No...no!"

"I may be useless, but that doesn't mean I don't try!"

Jim did not feel disappointed or sad under such a barrage of questions!

This was not part of Gu Chen's plan. His idea was very simple: to put Jim under maximum pressure, trigger his "unyielding will," and then lead Jim through the "Star Law" process himself!

Due to time constraints, Gu Chen didn't know Jim very well...

Forcing a consensus at that time was not a good thing!

"You're trying? Where are you even trying?!"

Seeing that Jim's reaction was not what he expected, Gu Chen seized the opportunity and asked, following up on Jim's words.

"I've memorized it all! Not just those! I've memorized so much! I didn't want to give up, so on the last day, I memorized all the contents of the Starry Sky Method!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's brow twitched slightly.

Could it be...?

Did they memorize it all?

On the eve of knowing you're destined to fail the test, do you still want to gamble everything?

Great personality!

Ask along those lines!

"Then tell me! Tell me!"

"In the simplest way, how do you perceive and illuminate your spiritual sea?!"

Jim answered the question immediately!

"Five stages!"

"First, get ready! Find a quiet, safe environment and sit comfortably with your spine straight. Take several deep breaths to relax your body and clear your mind."

"Second, introspection! Close your eyes and withdraw your attention from the external world, turning it to the area behind your third eye, the so-called 'seat of consciousness'! It's named this because this area is the easiest to enter a meditative state! It's like a throne that governs consciousness!"

"Third, perceive starlight! Strive to perceive those naturally existing, faint points of spiritual energy in the dark void of consciousness. At first, they may be blurry and elusive, and this is the time that tests one's spiritual talent the most."

"Four: Light the First Star! Concentrate all your awareness and try to 'ignite' the brightest, most easily perceived point of light. Imagine using your willpower as fuel to make it shine steadily and continuously. Successfully lighting it marks your entry into the realm of meditation."

"Fifth: Stabilize! Lighting up the star is only the first step. To fully condense it, you need to stabilize its state! Concentrate and prevent it from going out!"

Jim spoke this long passage in one breath, taking deep breaths, and finally uttered the last sentence!

"Once this star is lit up, it means you have successfully condensed a point of spiritual power!"

"call……"

"The appendix also says: If you can forcibly condense 100 points of spiritual power without relying on the Starry Sky Technique, then I admire you."
