Fang Xingjian's eyes opened abruptly, his eyes brimming with killing intent. Before him, a man who was shrouded in darkness had unknowingly appeared.
If not for the fact that this man had just spoken, Fang Xingjian would not have been able to sense that the other party was already standing before him.
"Who are you?"
Fang Xingjian's expression was solemn, his right hand quietly reaching for the longsword behind his waist.
The other party gave him an unfathomable aura that was as vast as the mountains and as vast as the seas. Just staring at the other party had already taken up half of his energy. This was especially so when he felt as if there were prickles on his back at any moment, giving him the misconception that the other party could strike at any moment and tear him into pieces the moment he did so.
He already understood that the other party was one of the strongest people he had met after coming to Miracle World. Even Huang Lin, who had been giving him pointers on sword arts every day, might not be stronger than the other party. It was because the pressure the other party brought him was much greater than the pressure Huang Lin brought him.
Seeing how Fang Xingjian looked as if he was facing a great enemy, the man merely smiled coldly and said, "I'm the person Huang Lin found to teach you Waves and mental cultivation methods. You don't need to know who I am. I'm just doing you a favor. After this night, we no longer have anything to do with each other. "
Hearing this, Fang Xingjian's body relaxed slightly. However, he still maintained his vigilance.
The man ignored him and continued, "Waves and mental cultivation methods, one internal and the other external. One is used on the physical body, while the other is used on the mind. They are techniques created in conjunction with ether particles to change the nature of human life. "Ether particles exist in every corner of the world. They connect different time and space, and contain endless energy, corresponding to everything in the world. "Therefore, the combination of different Waves and mental cultivation methods will allow one to come into contact with different ether particles, unleashing different powers. There are basic types that can strengthen one's body, while special types can control ice, fire, thunder and lightning, change the geomagnetism and atmosphere, etc. "Through their Waves and mental cultivation methods, humans come into contact with ether particles for the first time in secret realms. Coupled with different attributes, specialties, and skills, they will be able to go through different job transitions, obtaining higher attributes, stronger specialties, and more powerful skills."
"And if you want to learn the Waves, you must first control your breathing and blood flow, changing the rhythm of your life. Your techniques are still passable, but your understanding of the Mistral Windgod's Waves is practically nonsensical."
The man said disdainfully, "I've been observing you at night for the past few days. Your problem lies in the fact that your mental cultivation method is not compatible with your Waves. From the beginning to the end, you're just mechanically copying them. "
"Mental cultivation method?" Fang Xingjian was a little unconvinced as he said, "Every day when I practice my Waves, I maintain the concept of the Ice Age Meditation Art. My breathing and blood flow also maintain the rhythm of the Mistral Windgod's Waves. What's the problem?"
"Hehe, really?" The man said, "Fish can stay in the water 24 hours a day. Can humans do the same? Plants could take root in the soil day after day, month after month, year after year. Could humans do the same? "Humans can't, unless they change their life characteristics. "It's the same for Waves and mental cultivation methods. What you're doing now is forcefully soaking yourself in the water, planting your feet into the soil. It may seem as if you've learned the Waves, but you actually know nothing about it. "Learning Waves and mental cultivation methods requires you to change your life characteristics, to accept new characteristics, and not just to disguise and imitate."
The man looked at Fang Xingjian's dazed expression and shook his head, sighing, "Stupid donkey, didn't Huang Lin say that your aptitude is very good?"
Ever since Fang Xingjian had arrived in the Other World, he had been praised by countless people for his extraordinary talent and sword arts prodigy. This was the first time someone had called him stupid. But he knew that other than sword arts, he was indeed very mediocre in other aspects. He was not annoyed and only asked, "Then what should I do?"
"What else can you do? I don't want to waste too much time on you, so I'll be transmitting a stream of my Waves to you. Before this Wave disappears, you can carefully comprehend it and slowly move closer to the Mistral Windgod's rhythm. "Remember, don't try to imitate all the characteristics in one go. Today, remove a few edges, and tomorrow, change a few strands of hair. Bit by bit, you can truly change your rhythm, truly turning your breathing and blood into the Mistral Windgod's Waves."
With that, without giving Fang Xingjian too much time to think, the man pointed out with a finger. Fang Xingjian could not even feel the flow of the air, nor could he see the shadow of the other party's finger, but the finger had already touched his head.
In the next moment, streams of violent Waves gushed out from Fang Xingjian's fingertips, instantly spreading to every corner of his body, causing his breathing and blood to move closer to the Mistral Windgod's Waves.
However, this feeling of completely reversing and changing his breathing and blood caused Fang Xingjian's entire body to be in extreme pain. Green veins popped up on his forehead, and he felt as if his body was being pierced and sliced by countless small knives.
Seeing Fang Xingjian in extreme pain, the man chuckled and said, "Relax, this Wave will take at least ten days to disappear. You have a lot of time to slowly comprehend it. "For the rest of the night, I'll be transmitting the Ice Age Meditation Art to you. You have to comprehend it well."
Just as Fang Xingjian was enduring the pain, the other party started to speak. Each and every word he said was like a demonic tune piercing his ears, penetrating through layers of barriers and directly reaching his ears. Although his entire body was in extreme pain, he could still hear every word clearly, committing them to memory.
"Remember, mental cultivation methods are a way to change a person's thoughts. It is to change a person's mode of thinking and method of thinking from head to toe.
"The Windstorm Sword Hero's speed is unparalleled, so you need the Ice Age Meditation Art to cool your heart, calm your thoughts, and maintain absolute rationality and calmness at all times.
"Think about it, for example, becoming as cold as a machine, as harsh as winter. No matter what the situation is, what kind of enemy you face, what kind of pain you are in, you have to control your thoughts and maintain absolute calmness.
"Now, do as I say. Learn to calm your heart and look at your own thoughts. As long as you realize that you are thinking about something, don't think about it and get rid of this distracting thought. "If you can get rid of all the distracting thoughts as you please, you will have achieved a small success in the Ice Age Meditation Art. The physical body affects the mind, and the mind affects the physical body. Only by interacting with the internal and external, improving together, will your Waves and mental cultivation methods be successful.
"Get … rid … of … distracting … thoughts!"
Countless feelings of pain, fury, hatred, and desires arose in Fang Xingjian's heart. He tried to force himself not to think about these, but the more he tried to stop himself from thinking about them, the more he felt that thousands of thoughts were born, boundless and endless.
The man looked at Fang Xingjian's contorted face and smiled, "Take it slow. The beginning is always the most difficult."
For the entire night, Fang Xingjian spent his time in physical pain and troubled thoughts. Every time he felt that the frustration in his mind had reached its limit, his body would feel itchy all over, and he would want to stand up and move his limbs crazily. However, the other party's big hand would always press down on his body, suppressing him firmly on the spot and making him unable to move. Fang Xingjian could only endure this stage of frustration.
As he continued to endure it, he felt that the pain on his body seemed to have lessened a little, and the endless distracting thoughts, frustration, fury, and hatred in his mind also seemed to have lessened a little.
Only when the sky was slightly bright did the man let him stand up and stretch his muscles.
Fang Xingjian nodded at the man and said, "Thank you. In the future, if there's anything you need …"
He had wanted to be courteous, but the man waved his hand and said, "Your aptitude is too low, and the distracting thoughts in your heart are ten times more than an ordinary person's. The possibility of you becoming a Windstorm Sword Hero is one in a million. "If you want to help me, you'd better think about how you're going to get past this stage yourself."
From his words, it was obvious that he looked down on Fang Xingjian. The next moment, the man's silhouette disappeared like snow.
