Chapter 84: Condensing arcane particles (2/2)
“Can I condense arcane particles now can I start now?” Ayrin kept shouting, unable to repress his excitement any longer.
“You can.” Ciaran nodded. “Just follow the method I taught you.”
“Alright! Logic Fingers!” Ayrin shouted loudly. He lifted his hands straight away and moved his fingers at flying speed.
“Most people wouldn’t even be able to grasp Logic Fingers. This guy actually reached this level of proficiency after such a short amount of training.” Watching Aryin’s fingers move as if they were flying, Carter couldn’t resist shaking his head and exclaiming in marvel in his mind.
“What’s the matter?”
This finger skill was one that affected the tiny nerves and neurons in the body with the finger motions. It could make someone naturally forget everything around them, gathering a high intensity of focus on the hands. One could say that as long the spiritual strength was sufficient and the finger skill operated with sufficient proficiency, then condensing arcane particles presented no difficulty at all. But time went by, and Ayrin had a feeling, as if the power was there but he couldn’t use it. He could clearly feel arcane power revolve around his fingertips, but he couldn’t seem to draw it inside his body.
Failure!
Failure!
Another failure!
Ayrin’s spirit was a little exhausted after trying many times in succession for close to an hour, but he still couldn’t succeed in condensing arcane particles.
“Teacher Cater, teacher Ciaran, what’s the matter, why can’t I condense arcane particles at all?” Ayrin shouted in a loud, anxious voice.
“How’s that possible?” Carter had simply no idea either. “Even I can feel the high degree of concentration of spiritual strength… Does it have something to do with the peculiarness of his bloodline?”
“That’s impossible, physical strength and spiritual strength are the only two factors when it comes to arcane particles. His physical and spiritual strength are already enough to compress arcane particles.” Ciaran frowned, carefully thinking through every detail.
Ayrin could absorb arcane particles from someone else hitting him, but as an arcane master, it would be a disaster if he couldn’t gather arcane particles by himself, because one needed to preserve an abundant amount of arcane particles when going out on a mission with an arcane team. Even if a teammate could attack him and provide him with some, that rested on the premise of the teammate losing arcane particles themselves. It was especially true for prolonged, consecutive battles, or when going on a solo mission. It would be even more of a tragedy then if he couldn’t replenish his arcane particles himself.
“His spiritual strength and body seem a little disjoined…” All of a suddenly, a thought lit up in Ciaran’s mind after some persistent thinking. “I understand now!”
“You understand?”
“Teacher Ciaran, you know the reason?”
Carter and Ayrin spoke at the same time.
“It’s because the state of excitement of his body isn’t sufficient enough. It’s still a matter of bloodline and constitution. His body is so much stronger than ordinary arcane masters. Right now, quietly standing here, the burden is too low for his body, it’s simply as if it were hibernating. That’s why you have to wake up your body at the very least…” Ciaran breathed in deeply and said, “It should be fine if you add some stimulation.”
“I understand now!”
“Let me try! Logic Fingers!”
Ayrin shouted excited, appearing as if he immediately understood. Then his hands started moving at flying speed once again.
“Huuuu….”
The sound of the wind rose around his fingers. Small streams of air looking like small whirlwinds appeared all of a sudden, then spun and gushed into his ten fingers.
“It works!”
That thought flashed in Ayrin’s mind. His arms seemed to inflate all of a sudden, as if they were about to crack and explode. The next moment, he felt the energy channels inside his body brimming with energy, and his entire body seemed about to split open.
“Bloody compress already! Come, arcane particles!”
He roared madly in his mind. In this precise instant, he could sense countless threads of warm energy flowing among the tiny particles inside his body, blending with the primordial energy flowing inside him, then going through a strange compression and transformation.
Grains of resplendent minute particles grew inside him, seemingly closely linked to his body, incomparably intimate. They converged on their own toward his first arcane gate.
He stopped his movements and jumped out of happiness, shouting at the top of his lungs, “Success!”
“I really succeeded!”
“I really condensed arcane particles.”
Carter and Ciaran couldn’t repress a shake either. Ayrin didn’t merely open the great gates to the road of an arcane master, he was also setting a glorious record.
“What method did you use to rouse your body just now?” Carter couldn’t resist asking, still a little puzzled.
“Just now, I imagined there was a great pile of barbecue meat and chicken legs piled outside, and I could immediately rush out and eat them. After that my body became instantly excited, every tiny particle inside my body seemed to thoroughly come to life.” Ayrin answered with elation.
“…” Carter turned speechless once again.
