Chapter 47 Rune Burner
How can the management be so meticulous and strict? Everyone is a foundation-building or golden elixir monk who has been practicing for many years. How can they be treated as a child who has just entered a private school in the mortal world?
After the gathering was dismissed, many people returned to their rooms feeling downcast and dejected.
Think about it, you have barely made a name for yourself in the world, how come you are now in such an aggrieved situation?
This is the largest sect among the second-level sects. How come they train new disciples like this?
Jin Ziming's idea is a two-no policy, no resistance, and no need to be particularly proactive.
After running in the morning, you need to learn the basic knowledge of runes, formations and weapon refining, as well as the techniques and practical operations of drawing runes.
In the afternoon, we will practice formations, starting from the most basic "Yin-Yang Gathering Formation".
In the evening, we will study sect culture and outstanding cases, and everyone will have to express their opinions and share their experiences.
Such a day may only come once in a lifetime. As time goes by, most people no longer resist and begin to devote themselves to this unforgettable training.
After becoming familiar with the formation, a confrontation between classes will be arranged. The winner will be exempted from individual training, while the loser will have to take over the reduced share of others.
This is the most interesting moment every day. Stimulated by the collective honor, everyone operates the formation to the extreme in pursuit of the final victory.
After each confrontation, we have to discuss in groups and summarize the gains and losses.
Deacon Ma Yanhua said:
"There is a reason for designing the course for you. Rune learning is to lay the foundation for understanding the mining machine, and formation drills and summaries are to cultivate everyone's cohesion and team spirit."
As he studied, Jin Ziming discovered that drawing talismans greatly promoted the soul. Thinking of the conditions needed to practice "escape", he immediately plunged into this profound technique.
After learning how to draw a single rune, Jin Ziming began to try to refine first-grade rune paper, choosing the simplest "Pure Heart Talisman", which only contained thirty-seven runes.
The most important thing in drawing talismans is to draw them in one go without any interruption. As soon as he finished drawing the first rune, the rune immediately fell into pieces due to the pause.
After practicing for a long time and frantically increasing the soul power output, I could barely draw five runes, which was still far from perfecting the "Pure Heart Talisman".
It can be seen from this that he indeed lacks rune talent. Can he find a way to help himself improve? Jin Ziming fell into deep thought.
Look at those talisman masters who draw talisman. It's not just their hands, but the whole body is moving. It's just that different people have different movements and amplitudes of various parts.
I remember when I first started practicing swordsmanship, I thought of the sword as part of the arm, making the sword, arm, shoulder, and Ren vessels a "whole", and using the Dantian to coordinate them uniformly to maximize the torque.
Now when drawing talisman, it is obvious that the talisman pen can be used to replace the knife to form a new "whole".
Although each rune is different, many of the strokes that make up them are repeated.
If you forget the runes yourself, wouldn't it be much easier if you just learn how the rune master inscribes certain strokes?
Suppose that all the "overall" movements of a high-level rune master in inscribing different strokes are memorized. When encountering a brand-new character, he can directly combine the movements corresponding to each stroke to draw a complete character?
For people like me who are not into the mainstream and don't want to spend too much time practicing this art, the easiest way is to copy a skilled rune master.
By recording the "whole" movements of all his strokes, you can freely combine them to draw different runes and become another "him".
To put it simply, it is to establish a comparison table between strokes and the "overall" movement of the rune master.
Memorize this table and master the complete movements of each stroke, which is equivalent to copying a rune master.
This is an extremely bold and barbaric idea that may subvert the rune drawing method that has been passed down for countless thousands of years.
Thinking of this, he felt proud of his creativity. This must be a revolutionary innovation.
If he can succeed, there is almost no upper limit to his rune drawing level, it only depends on how high-level a rune master he can learn the movements of various strokes.
The higher the level of a Talisman Master, the higher his level will rise.
Assuming that he learns from a fourth-grade rune master, he may only be at the low level of the fourth grade and cannot reach the advanced level.
Because he has no creativity of his own, he is just copying the master, a simple, mechanical copy. To put it bluntly, he has turned himself into a "rune burning machine".
He will almost never be able to surpass the person he is learning from. If he wants to improve, he can only learn from a stronger rune master.
Unless one day, he uses himself to master the comparison table, create his own movements, and match the writing charm.
In class the next day, he observed the third-level talisman master named Hong Zhonghai very carefully.
Watch his movements on each stroke and store them in a special space in your consciousness for repeated viewing at any time.
When the same stroke is used in different characters, sometimes the actions are different.
In order to simplify his comparison table as much as possible, when encountering such a situation, he would practice multiple movements on his own to find the most comfortable one, or modify one that suits him best and solidify it.
While repeatedly watching the movements of the Talisman Master, he practiced on his own. Every time he solidified the movement of a stroke, he included it in the table.
Copying the movements of a third-level Talisman Master consumes a lot of his soul.
He is now at the third level of perfect state of Yuanshen, and he is estimated to be able to copy the movements of a fourth-level Talisman Master at most.
By analogy, if he wants to copy the movements of a seventh-level Talisman Master, he must at least have reached the sixth level of Yuan Shen.
After nearly four months of hard work, on this day, he finally built a comparison table for this third-level talisman master.
Now that he could start drawing talismans, he still took the first-grade talisman paper to test the most basic "Pure Heart Talisman".
But in his eyes, these runes were just strokes. He called the comparison table, commanded the "whole" connected by the whole body and the runes, and began to inscribe strokes one by one.
On the twenty-third rune, he failed because his movements were not coherent enough. He tried again, and this time he actually succeeded in drawing a "Pure Heart Talisman".
After being activated by injecting real energy, the talisman paper indeed released bursts of breeze, allowing his mind to gain some clarity. He could barely be considered a first-level talisman master.
After drawing more than twenty other types of first-grade talismans, he asked Ma Yanhua for help and used spiritual stones to purchase a lot of second-grade and third-grade materials from the sect.
To refine the second-grade talisman, he chose the "Qi Gathering Talisman", which consisted of seventy-five runes.
With the foundation of drawing first-grade runes, he just had to follow the same pattern and use his rest time to practice every night. On the third night, he became a second-grade talisman master.
When he can achieve 100% success, he will continue to advance.
For the third-grade talisman, he chose the "wind talisman". There were a total of 139 runes. It took him half a month to succeed once.
After another half month of testing, he only succeeded twice. He barely became a third-level Talisman Master with a very low success rate.
Why is the success rate so low?
After thinking hard for a long time, I suddenly realized that the problem lies in the sample source of the comparison table.
Hong Zhonghai is only a low-level level among third-level talisman masters. The "rune burner" method determines that it is almost impossible for him to surpass the person being copied, so it is difficult for him to draw third-level talismans stably.
He needs to establish a more advanced stroke and movement comparison chart, which is the key to the problem.
Even so, he was shocked by his classmates and Hong Zhonghai. He was simply an unparalleled genius.
In about half a year, from a person who knew nothing about runes to a rune master with a 20% chance of drawing a third-grade rune, it is simply unbelievable.
Hong Zhonghai admired him very much and strongly suggested:
"Zi Ming, after the basic training is over, if you choose to go to Lingfu Peak to practice, you will definitely get special treatment only for geniuses."
"Thank you, Teacher Hong. Runes are just a temporary interest of mine. What I really like is the way of the sword." Jin Ziming ruthlessly rejected others.
"You have to think clearly, among the seven peaks of Lingyun, there is no one who specializes in the art of swordsmanship.
But Spirit Talisman Peak is different. Resources such as techniques, secrets, and teachers are all about runes, and are very focused, allowing you to grow quickly."
"Teacher Hong, I will consider it again after the basic training is over, thank you."
Jin Ziming was embarrassed to refuse other people's kindness, so he could only delay it first.
"Okay, we'll talk about it then." Hong Zhonghai sighed.
In the evening, I studied more and more content, including the essence of the leader’s thoughts, the essence of the sect’s philosophy, etc.
For example, "Phoenix Nirvana", "Survival of the Frightened", etc. In addition to cultural learning, there are also a large number of cases, which made everyone excited.
Out of the desire to "escape", Jin Ziming is particularly devoted to arithmetic courses, because this is the basis of the mysteries of space.
Through group activities such as learning, drills, confrontations, and even cooking, the fifty-seven students of the "Internal Jump Class 03" have become tightly knit together, creating a feeling of comradeship that is thicker than water.
The end of basic training is getting closer and closer, and a small net woven for Jin Ziming and Guang Liang is opening.
In the afternoon of this day, there was a formation confrontation between "Inner Jump Class 03" and "Inner Jump Class 12".
As soon as the battle started, "Inner Class 12" felt like facing the enemy.
Not only did they use a powerful formation base, but they also used three late-stage Jindan and two Jindan Dzogchen as the formation's eyes. They were also merciless, and someone in Class 03 was quickly injured.
"Start the second set of formation plan, Zi Ming, take the center position and replace it with the third-grade formation base." Qi Guangliang, who was elected as the leader student of Class 03, shouted loudly.
The team members quickly changed positions, and all five formations became the foundation building perfection, and the situation finally improved slightly.
The two sides kept changing formations, attacking hard, feinting attacks, and making various transitions, which demonstrated the highest level of confrontation among the students in this period.
But unfortunately, the main center Jin Ziming was finally fooled, and the formation he commanded was completely defeated by Class 12.
The instructor shouted loudly:
"Stop it, 'Class 12' wins. Thank you to both classes for their wonderful performances."
Jin Ziming and others were convinced of their defeat, shook their heads, and left in disgust.
When I saw the printer at home, I thought of the Chinese character stroke input method, so I came up with the chapter "Rune Burner".
From now on, when seeing doctors, reading books, visiting, etc., they will also develop powerful martial arts. Haha, your imagination is unlimited, your imagination is unlimited.
Chapter completed!
