During the cultural class in the evening, Li Xiang didn't see Han Shi. Instead, it was a gentle young man wearing glasses.
He wasn't wearing the Polar night instructor's uniform. Instead, he was wearing a white shirt and old-fashioned trousers. The young man with gold-rimmed glasses was holding a thick stack of teaching materials. He was escorted by a group of fully-armed mercenaries with a smile on his face.
"Trainees, I am Rocca. From today on, I will be in charge of the Magic Circuits course in your class. You can call me Mr. Rocca. First of all, I am not an instructor of Polar night. I am from the Recursive Steam University in City 0655. I am a visiting professor of Polar night. You can relax in my class. The rules of Polar night are not applicable for now. "
Rocca's voice was very soft, but every word was delivered to their ears accurately.
Li Xiang had read all the books he had borrowed about the Recursive Steam University. It was a special school. It might not be one of the top 100 universities in the Subcontinent in terms of overall strength, but it was one of the top schools in terms of steam technology and Magic Circuits. The big moneymaker behind it was Wessex Technology. Therefore, it didn't lack money or equipment.
It was one of the universities that Li Xiang had been interested in.
The lecture notes were a simplified textbook. It was obvious that it was a document that had been edited out of the magic circuits course in the university. The words "Magic Circuits" were written on the cover with a fountain pen, as if it had infinite magic power, attracting them to read and learn.
"Before that, I would like to ask you a question. What exactly is a Magic Circuit?" Rocca raised the name list and glanced at it. After a pause, he said, "No. 8, the second in the class, you answer."
"Sir, the so-called Magic Circuits are the special patterns hidden in our bodies that allow us to perceive magic particles in the future. There are six kinds of magic particles in total. There are four talent levels corresponding to the six kinds of magic particles. It is also an important basis for determining whether or not we have the potential to be a player." Li Xiang stood up straight. Such questions in the class were beneficial to the ranking. Naturally, he had to answer carefully.
Rocca nodded in satisfaction and asked him to sit down. There was no need to be so formal.
"No. 8 is right, but that's just a superficial definition. The so-called magic circuit is actually the biggest difference between us and ordinary people!" Rocca walked to Li Xiang's side and patted him on the shoulder. "The prerequisite for becoming a player is to connect the corresponding magic circuit. Secondly, before obtaining the qualification of a player, we have to go through the two levels of Magic Apprentice and Magician. Every level is further divided into levels 1-3. The evaluation criteria are mainly based on strength, speed, and reaction speed. Number 10, tell me the criteria for a level 1 Magic Apprentice. "
"Bang!"
The tall teenager named Kuang Tie stood up abruptly and said in a loud and piercing voice, "Your strength must reach 500kg, your speed must reach 12.5m/s, and your reflexes must be able to dodge 10 shots from the steam tester within a minute!"
"Very good. Then let me ask you again. As the first in class, your physical test results are the best. As far as I know, you've already reached this standard. So, do you think you have a chance of winning against a level 1 Magic Apprentice?" Rocca waved his hand and asked him to sit down, but Kuang Tie stood stubbornly.
Hearing that he had reached the standard of a level 1 Magic Apprentice without connecting the magic circuit, the other trainees cried out in surprise. Even Li Xiang was surprised. He was considered a rare genius in Houcheng's physical test, but he hadn't reached this standard in terms of strength. However, he had already been recognized as a natural genius. How abnormal was this Kuang Tie?
He paid a little attention. After all, the people in Polar night were also his competitors.
"No!" Kuang Tie's voice echoed in the classroom, clear and powerful. "A level 1 Magic Apprentice may not even be as good as me in terms of physical fitness, but they must have connected a magic circuit. This is the standard for invisibility. After connecting a magic circuit, you can use magic. There are all kinds of magic, and it's not something that novices like us can contend against."
"Sit down." Rocca put his hand on Kuang Tie's shoulder and exerted a little force. The Kuang Tie only felt a huge force on his shoulder, and his body involuntarily sat down.
"It seems you have some understanding of magic." Rocca smiled as he walked back to the podium. He wrote the words "Magic Circuit" on the blackboard behind him, and circled the magic within it.
"Kuang Tie is right. Even if your physical fitness can reach the standard of a level 1 Magic Apprentice, it's still extremely difficult to win against them. The reason lies in magic. We'll talk about it again later. Turn to the first page of your lecture notes. " Rocca's lecturing ability was clearly better than Han Shi's. He was good at guiding people patiently and patiently, and very quickly, he aroused the enthusiasm of all the trainees.
"What is the essence of a magic circuit? Everyone knows that we connect our magic circuits in order to sense the magic particles in the air. Aside from the geniuses with extraordinary talent, the average person would not be able to sense any magic particles before they connect their magic circuits, let alone Origin Substances. The reason why there are magic circuits in our bodies is because we have an extremely high affinity with certain magic particles. They exist in large quantities in our bodies, thus forming a unique magic circuit. This also indirectly hinted at which magic particles we have a higher affinity with. The six types of magic particles also have different affinities with different parts of our body. "
Rocca pointed to his eyes and said, "For example, the eyes of our five senses. The magic circuit of our five senses is orange. The so-called five senses refer to the eyes, nose, teeth, tongue, and ears. Those orange magic particles will accumulate in each of our five senses. The amount of orange magic particles will represent your level of talent. As for which of your five senses you are inclined towards, that will be determined through future training."
"Continue reading the lecture notes. The magic circuit refers to the special patterns hidden in these parts, formed by certain magic particles accumulated in the body. The meaning of connection is that you can sense and stimulate these magic particles through specific training. This is the first step, known as the state of 'knowing.' After that, you have to be able to instantiate the magic circuit in a short period of time. This is the second step, known as' instantiation. ' If you can do these two steps, this magic circuit can be considered as truly connected. After that, you can learn to use specific magic. "
With Rocca's in-depth explanation, Li Xiang finally understood some things about magic circuits. To put it bluntly, the use of magic particles was an important judgment to distinguish ordinary people from players. Only by being able to use this special power could one have the ability to fight against disasters.
And before becoming a player, one would be unable to use the magic particles around them. Magic apprentices and Magicians, on the other hand, could use the magic particles that belonged to them in their bodies and were relatively more powerful.
"I've read all of your magic circuit test reports. You should be well aware in your hearts. Here, I'll remind you that the type of magic circuit you have is a trump card. Before becoming a player, the result of a battle between a magic apprentice and a Magician largely depends on the type and use of magic circuits. Once your combat style and preferences are known, you may be targeted." Rocca adjusted his glasses. "Secondly, after successfully reaching the state of 'knowing,' even if you can't instantiate it for the time being, that magic circuit can bring about a qualitative leap in your body. For example, the magic circuit that I've connected includes the magic circuit of the five senses. The 'hearing' in the five senses allows me to hear all of your heartbeats, as well as the movements outside the classroom and even on the training ground if I want to. "
The trainees were stunned and sucked in a breath of cold air.
The training ground was far from Class 1's classroom. In such a well-soundproofed room, it was difficult to hear the movements in the classroom next door, let alone the training ground. And the heartbeat in everyone's chest was even more difficult.
Li Xiang didn't know whether Rocca was a magic apprentice or a Magician. After the initial shock, he felt a lingering fear. At that time, Sword Ten of the Tarot card was at least a Level-1 magic apprentice. If he hadn't thought that Li Xiang would take away Bai Shanshan's weapon, the outcome might have been completely different if he had paid a little attention to himself.
He was really too lucky!
Previously, Li Xiang didn't think much of magic apprentices because of this. He didn't expect them to be so far ahead of the average person. Fortunately, he had entered the Polar night. Otherwise, if he had to experience it again, Li Xiang wouldn't be so lucky.
"Now that we're done with the science, it's time to talk about how to sense the magic circuits in the body and how to cultivate them." Rocca laid the groundwork for a long time. After piquing their interest, he officially went into the main topic. The trainees below were all rubbing their hands together in anticipation. Compared to the other candidates who had filled in their applications but hadn't gone through military training, their progress was much faster.
Li Xiang was also very satisfied with his intense but fulfilling life.
There was only one way to sense and cultivate magic circuits, and that was to absorb Origin Substance. Origin Substance gas was the essence of magic particles. It was the best way to agitate the magic particles in the body. Unlike magic particles, Origin Substance had no type and could interact with all six types of magic particles.
After absorbing Origin Substance, the human body would become very sensitive to magic particles. As time passed, the sensitivity would gradually weaken, and after a day, it would completely disappear.
The test for magic circuits was very simple. Within ten days, at least one magic circuit had to reach the state of "knowing". Within a month, all the magic circuits awakened had to reach the state of "knowing".
A standard tube of Origin Substance gas was worth 100,000 Blue Astral Coins. It was also the minimum amount needed to maintain one's perception for a day. One standard tube a day, ten days would be one million Blue Astral Coins. This was already a huge fortune for the average person.
Origin Substance gas was one of the resources of the Polar night. It would also be given according to the sequence. The first to fourth place in the first echelon would receive five standard tubes of Origin Substance gas. The second echelon's fifth to tenth place would receive three standard tubes. The third echelon's eleventh to fifteenth place would receive two standard tubes. Finally, the fourth echelon's sixteenth to twentieth place would only receive one standard tube.
After Rocca finished speaking, everyone's eyes were filled with undisguised greed. The amount of Origin Substance they had was pretty much the deciding factor of whether or not they would be able to reach the state of "knowing". This was a completely different type of resource than eating in the morning, noon, and night.
He didn't say what would happen to those who failed the test, but everyone knew in their hearts that in the Polar night, there was no failure. There was only death.
