The evaluation of Luo Ling and his team is still ongoing on the path of soul refining.
They had all heard Xiao Chen talk about the secrets of the path to spiritual cultivation, and they were all prepared. Almost everyone was eager to try, hoping that they could achieve an eye-catching result.
"I'll go first!" Li Tianrui volunteered to start first.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It won't be you who will reach the top. It must be Sister Luo Ling." Ye Zi said.
"Why not let me be a vanguard officer?" Li Tianrui really stepped onto the stairs without any impatience. He just followed Xiao Chen's suggestion, calmed his mind, and walked steadily step by step.
Others also walked up the stairs one by one, and when Luo Ling was ready to leave, Master Kona came to her and said, "Miss Luo Ling, you don't have to go this way. I will preside over your assessment alone. Come with me."
Master Kona cast a short-distance teleportation spell. When the spell ended, the two of them were already standing on the nineteenth floor of the Spirit Refining Tower. He took Luo Ling into the room where Xiao Chen had been assessed before and asked her to sit down.
"Xiao Chen told me about your situation. You didn't have a sufficient foundation when reading the "Shadow Scroll of the Sea of Consciousness", which resulted in you having to endure the pain of magic backlash every time you cast a spell, right?" Master Kona said.
"Yes. He told me that you might have some treatment methods." Luo Ling said.
"Indeed, the Spirit Refining Tower has some experience in treating mental problems. But I can't guarantee anything. After all, human consciousness and mental power are one of the most mysterious things in the world." Master Kona said, "Then let's get started. Please relax and don't resist my magic."
Luo Ling nodded, then sat in her seat, waiting quietly for the other party to cast a spell.
This diagnostic magic was very complicated. Master Kona waved his hands in front of him, and his fingertips pulled out strips of light, forming a shining golden ball of light. With his strength, many magics can be cast instantly or accelerated, and many magics only require one action or even one thought. But this magic seemed to be very difficult for him.
It took him more than ten minutes to cast this magic. The ball of light grew larger and larger, and by the time the magic was completed, its diameter had exceeded Master Kona's shoulders.
"I am now going to connect this magic with your mental power." Master Kona said with some fatigue in his tone.
Luo Ling could feel that the energy contained in this magic was gentle and calm, and should not be dangerous.
The ball of light floated over and enveloped her head. She felt nothing in her body, but her mind seemed to be immersed in a warm pool of water. Gentle forces flowed slowly around her, seemingly enveloping her meditation world.
"Cast a spell." Master Kona spoke with difficulty.
Luo Ling cast an ice shield spell. The feeling of backlash appeared again, but the power around her body seemed to be able to offset the damage of the backlash. It was like someone was repairing a torn wound.
This feeling lasted for a while, making Luo Ling feel very comfortable, and she felt that the trauma and fatigue in her mind were somewhat wiped out. Until the light ball seemed to have run out of energy, and the magic faded away.
When she looked, she saw that Master Kona was pale, sweating profusely, and even had a trace of blood around his mouth, as if he had just been through a fierce battle. He looked even more embarrassed than when he fought against Saint Venegas that night.
"Are you okay?" Luo Ling was startled by the other person's appearance.
Master Kona took out a healing crystal stone and stimulated its energy before he felt better. He smiled helplessly and said, "I was really fooled by Xiao Chen. If I had known that your mental power had reached this level, I would not have taken on this job."
"Is there something wrong with me?"
"No, it's because my mental strength and realm are not enough to do this. I'm like a child trying to carry a huge rock, and I'm overwhelmed by the weight.
"I just performed the Apollonio Great Restoration Spell, which is originally a Saint-level magic. I can only use it with difficulty. It happened that I met a patient like you whose mental power far exceeded my expectations, so it was so strenuous." Master Kona said, "I use this magic on Serinda once a week, and it has never been so strenuous. However, the difference between her mental power and yours is greater than that between a mouse and an elephant."
Luo Ling felt the damage to her body and said, "However, I feel the effect of magic. Not only is the backlash smaller, but the recovery after the backlash is also much faster."
"That's useless. The Great Repair Technique can only restore the state of your mental power to its original state. But your problem occurred when you were concentrating just now, so no matter how you repair it, the result will be the same." Master Kona said, "However, the Great Repair Technique can detect the state of your mental power problem. I have roughly understood the reason for your backlash.
Master Kona made a circle with his hands and said, "We can think of cultivating spiritual power as a skin bag filled with water. The water is the spiritual power, and the skin bag is the boundary of the spiritual power. Half of the concentration is on this boundary. Everyone has their own opinions on what this boundary is, but I think it is a special kind of spiritual power.
The mental power of ordinary people is not concentrated enough, and naturally has no boundaries, but their spirits are also not strong, and they are unlikely to hurt their bodies. However, even so, there are still some people who think too much and hurt their bodies. It's just that most people think that it is caused by overwork. "
Luo Ling asked: "Do you mean that mental power is harmful to the body?"
"There is no unified statement in the magic world, but I think that since mental power can induce magic power under our control, then if we don't control it, can it also induce some magic power on its own? Isn't it normal for uncontrolled magic power to harm the body?"
"You think that mental power itself is harmless to the body, but if you accidentally affect the magic power, then these energies will harm the body?"
"That's right!" Master Kona continued to explain: "The higher the quality of the dissipated mental power, the stronger it is, the greater the uncontrolled damage will be. In your case, the process of concentrating your mind is not normal. The boundary that contains the mental power is not formed completely, and there are some cracks on it. Once you cast a spell with all your strength, part of your mental power will be scattered and disturb the surrounding magic power. The quality of your mental power is much higher than that of ordinary people, so the damage caused is much greater."
"Doesn't that mean that the higher the quality of my spiritual power, the greater the damage to myself?"
"That's right. If you become a great magician and release magic like I just did, the backlash will probably be enough to kill you directly." Master Kona said seriously.
Luo Ling showed a rare nervous look on her face, "Is there any way to repair these cracks?"
