As long as one was human, one would breathe.
But what was the essence of breathing?
As long as one was human, one would have a heartbeat.
But what was the essence of a heartbeat?
Irin's skull felt as if it had been cracked open by a hammer.
He suddenly understood something, but at the same time, he felt even more confused.
To Irin, psychokinesis was like breathing and heartbeat. It came and went as he wished.
Back then, when he unlocked psychokinesis, success was achieved naturally. The moment his mental attribute was unlocked … it popped open, as if a cork had been opened.
But Wizard Supreme's question hit the bottom of Irin's heart.
He asked, "What?".
But Irin thought, "Why?".
Irin sank into deep thought.
He stretched out his index finger and drew circles in the air.
The fruit knife also followed Irin's finger, moving up and down, left and right, front and back, making smooth movements in the air.
Wizard Supreme was indeed curious.
He knew that Irin did not understand "magic."
He also had a slight understanding of the basic principles of the "Crystal Pattern Technique."
He could see that Irin's move was more like an "innate" superpower, and not some kind of technique or method.
"Oh ~"
Suddenly, Wizard Supreme seemed to have thought of something and slapped his head. "I remember now. Many years ago, I had a friend called Walter. Her ability came from herself, and it was somewhat similar to yours. Of course, she was much stronger than you. She could kill you with one slap."
In order to vividly illustrate how strong Walter was, Wizard Supreme curled his hands together and made a "clench, clench" gesture. He added, "Her ability was really scary."
"Came from herself?"
Hearing this, Irin came back to his senses. He ignored the second half of Wizard Supreme's sentence and focused on the first half. "What do you mean?"
"I'm trying to say that you might be a mutant."
"Mutant?" The corner of Irin's mouth twitched. He subconsciously felt that this was not a good word. But he still listened patiently.
Wizard Zhi Zun smiled faintly. "Mutants, as the name suggests, are 'mutant humans' who have evolved in a way that is different from normal humans. They often possess a variety of strange abilities. Some can change reality, some can run as fast as fried chicken, some turn green with a single breath and have infinite strength, some can breathe fire, and some can freeze. "
"Isn't this superpower?" Irin was speechless. She pointed at her own face and said, "Do I look like someone who has never watched a sci-fi movie?"
"More or less." The Sorcerer Supreme seemed to understand what Irin meant by "sci-fi movies" and did not question it. He continued to explain, "In the world where I was born and raised, there are many such 'mutants'. There are even some secret organizations that specialize in researching how to create them."
"…"
"They generally believe that the source of power for the mutants with all kinds of magical abilities comes from their 'genes' themselves. In other words, they no longer belonged to the category of 'human' in terms of 'genes'. That's why they have the power that humans don't have. "
"…"
"This is also why I said that their power comes from themselves and not from any other source. I feel that you may belong to this kind of … En. "After talking for a long time, Wizard Zhi Zun even agreed with this conclusion and concluded," You are not human. "
"Pfft."
Irin listened to Wizard Zhi Zun's conclusion that seemed like a joke but was actually very serious. But he could not laugh.
Because, on his apostle panel, in the [Bloodline] column, there was indeed a part of "non-human bloodline".
In other words, at least on a physical level, he was not a pure human.
But whether or not he was a pure human had nothing to do with this matter!
When he mastered psychokinesis, there was clearly no change in his bloodline, okay!
Irin denied Wizard Zhi Zun's conclusion in his heart — denied a part of it.
Half a minute later.
Irin decided not to continue discussing the philosophical question of "whether or not he was a human" with Wizard Zhi Zun.
He started brainstorming and used this matter to lead to another question.
"You said that the essence of magic is the release of energy through different 'incantations'. And most of the energy is absorbed from other powerful beings in the Dimensional Crevice. But have you ever thought about what the energy you're absorbing is to them? "
Wizard Zhi Zun originally wanted to say "what is something", but his situation was the same as Irin's. He was suddenly stunned.
That's right.
Comes from time?
Space?
Darkness?
All right.
But Wizard Zhi Zun knew that what Irin wanted to get was not such a simple answer.
What he asked was a deeper philosophical question.
Irin saw Wizard Zhi Zun stunned in mid-air and threw out another soul question, "Let me give you an example. Let's say that those beings you are borrowing, their power also comes from themselves. If humans can be strong to that extent, then does it mean that some kind of power from humans can also be used as the energy source to drive 'magic'? "
"Impossible!"
Wizard Zhi Zun thought for a moment and shook his head, his tone firm.
"Why?"
"Because humans have limits. I know this very well."
"Then what if humans can break through this so-called 'limit'?"
Wizard Zhi Zun was stunned again. He suddenly remembered that his teacher seemed to have said something similar in the past.
Their discussion fell silent.
Irin suddenly remembered something, "Didn't you say before that you can 'slap' a person's' soul 'out of their body? Come, try hitting me with your palm. "
The so-called 'soul' seemed to belong to some kind of 'mental state' in Xiaoxi's words. Irin vaguely grasped a certain point, but couldn't explain it clearly in a short time.
"No!" Unexpectedly, Wizard Zhi Zun was so scared that he clutched his waist tightly. His face was slightly pale as he rejected, "The consumption is too great!"
Irin smiled slightly and began to use a patient and patient tone to talk about the cooking method of a dish.
"I have recently improved a new recipe."
"First, carefully choose a hen that has been running in the fields for sixty days. Its meat is very tender."
"Then, choose high-quality morels and mushrooms. After soaking them, stuff them into the chicken's stomach together with high-quality sea cucumbers."
"Seal the chicken's stomach again and coat the surface of the chicken with a thick layer of rose nectar."
"Roast it slowly. The rose nectar on the surface of the chicken will completely seep into the chicken. The natural fragrance of the morels and mushrooms and the fresh sweetness of the sea cucumbers will perfectly blend with the chicken's original taste from the inside out. When you take a bite, you will feel as if you are standing at the edge of the forest, facing the sea. The smell of nature will completely envelop you, and the fresh and sweet meat juice will completely melt your taste buds. Do you know? This might be the feeling of your soul exploding … "
"Stop!" Wizard Zhi Zun's expression was extremely serious. He raised his palm high, afraid that Irin couldn't see it, "Please let me do this! I am willing! You must let me do it! "
After saying that, he didn't hesitate and hit Irin's chest with his palm.
Bang!
In the next second.
After a burst of pleasure, Irin saw his own butt.
Everything around him seemed to have stopped.
Wizard Zhi Zun's expression was three parts firm, three parts steady, three parts wise, and one part deeply hidden pain. His palm had yet to leave Irin's chest. Everything in front of him seemed to have been slowed down countless times, slowly passing by at an imperceptible speed.
He … had once again become a spirit state.
In the previous two experiences, Irin had achieved this after using the [Guild Base Token] and the power of an Epic-ranked item.
The other time was under the influence of the tentacle monster in Shenqi City, but that time was a little different, so it didn't count.
But this time, it was because of Wizard Zhi Zun's palm.
It was also this time that Irin truly experienced Wizard Zhi Zun's ability other than teleportation, which wasn't just bragging. He had a whole new level of respect for this Wizard.
Good fellow! He was indeed something!
"This is an out-of-body experience."
After a while, Wizard Zhi Zun took the initiative to become a spirit state and floated beside Irin.
Irin raised his head. In the dark night, the sky above his head seemed to be covered by a faint layer of light.
"That's the boundary." Wizard Zhi Zun knew that in his spirit state, Irin could also see that layer of light. His expression was a little bleak, "It's because of it that I can't leave this world. I, Wizard Zhi Zun, am trapped here. "
"As expected." Irin remembered the familiar bat pattern on the Qiao family's supermarket sign. This was basically a confirmed fact. This place should be the same as Grimm Town, and had countless connections with that Grimm.
But Irin had repeatedly confirmed that he could gain chaos points by killing monsters in the mine. So, the core world view of this trial world wasn't as simple as Grimm Town, which was as simple as being in the "Dream World".
Grimm's level was too high, and was full of mysteries. There were many things that Irin couldn't understand, and was full of doubts.
"Why did you come out too?"
Irin asked.
"This way, we have more time."
Wizard Zhi Zun seemed to have a long night, but in reality, the night was short, and time waited for no one. Since he had already beaten Irin's spirit out, he might as well go out and communicate with Irin in spirit state. He could make full use of the time to discuss more academic problems.
Irin closed his eyes.
For the first time, he had time to carefully feel the "mental state".
It was also the "spirit" that Wizard Zhi Zun spoke of.
The material objects around him seemed to be still.
Irin shook his finger at the knife in the kitchen.
Looking at it with rapt attention, a thin line "slowly" shot out from Irin's finger.
Irin felt the source of the "thin line".
A moment later.
Yi Lin came to a sudden realization. So it came from his "brain".
No, to be precise, it wasn't.
His current state was completely separated from his body.
His brain was in front of him.
Not here.
Then, the source of psychokinesis should be the "spirit" … or the "soul" itself.
"So for the mental side, the strength of the spirit is the true invincible weapon."
Irin lowered his head and pondered.
In the process of pondering, it seemed like a moment, but also like a long time had passed.
Wizard Zhi Zun smiled beside Irin and didn't disturb him.
After an unknown amount of time.
Irin opened his eyes again.
In his eyes, there was a faint light flashing.
"I understand."
As he spoke, Irin imitated Wizard Zhi Zun's hand gesture and drew in front of him.
A line of flowing light and colorful light, following Irin's finger, left a corresponding trajectory in the still space.
— — It was a circle.
