This is the first time that Ren has encountered a bottleneck in practice, and it is also the first time that he has "failed."
The thing is, he still doesn't know what went wrong, which is frustrating.
With his "intelligent brain", he has shortcuts for almost any method he practices, and there is almost no difficulty. But the system couldn't help him at all with this kind of thing that needed to be "understood".
When Bazel heard this, he opened his eyes and stopped his meditation.
He looked at Ren and joked with a joking expression: "Oh...failed? I thought you were such a monster and could learn everything..."
This legend is so worthless and adds insult to injury.
Ren rolled his eyes and looked at the guy's expression. He didn't guess anything. This guy might have already guessed the result and was waiting to see his own joke.
But he also knew that this funny legend didn't mean any harm, just a little bit sour.
Having become so familiar with each other, Ren was not polite and asked directly: "Senior, you seem to know that I will fail?"
Bazel shrugged noncommittally and said: "Normally, you should fail. But I thought you would use that monster talent of 'learning it as soon as you learn it' to directly ignore this bottleneck... "
After a pause, he added: "Now it seems that there is not."
It seemed that the Funny Legend was in a good mood after seeing Ren's defeat.
Ren made a grimace and complained faintly: "What do you mean I should fail?"
Bazel spread his hands and asked: "Otherwise, why do you think most of the top nobles, who are not short of money or resources, are stuck at the third level of extraordinary?"
"ah?"
When Ren heard this, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly felt like he had realized something.
This world is a centralized monarchy, and the top nobles control most of the social resources. They have accumulated resources. Even if their talents are not good, they are not that diligent, and they take drugs and consume magic crystals, it is enough to accumulate them to the third level of extraordinary. But those who advance to the fourth level are like phoenix feathers and water chestnuts.
Even the current emperor of Oma, Spurgeon Fifteenth, is stuck at the third level of Transcendence!
Obviously, like him, they have not gathered the "power" of fighting spirit
Before the thoughts in his mind were clear, Bazel continued to ask: "Boy Ren, what do you think is the difference between you and those pampered nobles now?"
"..."
When Ren thought about it, he immediately understood something.
In my current situation, I am basically treated like a top noble, so there is no difference!
There is no shortage of resources, and there are a lot of super experts around him to protect him. I am afraid that even Emperor Omar would not be treated so well.
His eyes trembled, he looked at Bazel, and asked thoughtfully: "I can't gather 'power', is it because of the current environment?"
"You are very smart."
Bazel nodded and didn't beat around the bush.
The careless look on his face also disappeared, and he said slightly seriously: "If you want to know why you failed to gather the 'power of the beast', then you first need to know why the third level is a great threshold for extraordinary!"
"oh?"
Ren frowned, with a serious expression on his face that was all ears.
Bazel looked stern and continued: "The third-level fighting spirit condenses the 'shi', and your fighting spirit gradually begins to have a soul; only then can you further understand the 'fist intention' and advance to the fourth level; after mastering the 'intention', Only then can you touch the 'Law' and advance to the fifth level; only then can you comprehend the 'Secret Method of Unraveling Demons' and step into the legend. Every step of this is crucial and indispensable. Otherwise, if you don't lay a solid foundation, you will be waiting for you to reach the fifth level. Even if I give you a 'divine power crystal', you won't be able to touch the power of a higher level. If you have never climbed the steps, how can it be so easy in the world if you want to reach the sky in one step?"
The third level of "potential";
The fourth level of "meaning";
Fifth order "law";
Then comes the "legend"!
These are the major thresholds for high-level transcendence.
After failing once, Renn clearly felt for the first time the ups and downs of the road to transcendence.
It seemed that the road was smooth until we reached the foot of the majestic mountain, but we were stopped at the first step up the mountain.
... .
Ren asked: "Then... senior, what should I do?"
"The road to transcendence is not as easy as I thought..."
When Bazel heard this, he said something meaningful.
He was not in a hurry to answer, but narrowed his eyes and asked Ren: "Kid Ren, before I answer the question, I want to ask you a question first... Are you determined to understand the 'potential'?"
Ren responded without hesitation: "Yes!"
This is an idea that I have thought about thousands of times. With such good conditions, if you don't go and see the scenery on the top of this extraordinary world, then your trip will be in vain.
Bazel raised his thick eyebrows and nodded in recognition, "Yeah. I also think it would be a pity if you really gave up this majestic fighting spirit to enter the third level and enter the second level..."
After a pause, he continued: "I thought that after you became the city lord, you also wanted to start enjoying life like those noble gentlemen. However, if you really want to do that, I'd better save my words."
"No! I am very sure of my goal. It is not enjoyment, but... extraordinary and supreme!"
Ren also knew that although Bazel was rough in words, he had good intentions. He was trying to warn himself.
My current life is indeed too "comfortable".
But even though he thought of this reason, he still didn't understand the connection between the two.
He asked again: "Senior Bazel, although I understand some of what you said, I still don't understand why I failed to gather momentum?"
Hearing this, Bazel asked instead, "You have failed once now. Do you think something went wrong?"
Ren thought about it carefully and said in an uncertain tone: "I always feel that I have some understanding. I can't understand the domineering power of the 'Thunder Tiger', and then I can't condense the form of the Thunder Tiger with fighting spirit..."
Bazel smiled half-heartedly: "Tsk, tsk, your kid's understanding is not bad."
Ren's eyes lit up and he immediately realized: "The problem lies in perceiving the domineering aura of 'Thunder Tiger'?"
"To condense the 'power' of fighting spirit, you need to know what the 'power' is!"
Bazel nodded and said: "You don't understand just by talking about it... Take a good look at it. This is the 'beast power' I condensed at the third level of the extraordinary, and you will know why..."
Having said this, Bazel didn't say much more. His expression suddenly became serious, and fighting energy suddenly burst out from his body.
Then, the bloody red fighting spirit slowly condensed into a lifelike bloody giant wolf behind him!
The giant wolf is majestic and every detail is visible.
What made Ren even more unable to take his eyes away was that he actually saw the bloodthirsty ferocity and ferocity in the eyes of a giant wolf with concentrated fighting spirit, as if it was about to pounce on him and bite him to pieces.
"this... "
Seeing this, Ren suddenly realized.
This is the "power of the devil wolf", ferocious, violent and ruthless!
The demonstration only lasted a few breaths, and Bazel's aura relaxed. In the room, the overwhelming ferocity had completely disappeared.
He looked at Ren, raised his eyebrows and said, "Boy Ren, do you understand now?"
"Um... "
Ren's eyes moved frequently, feeling as if he had understood nine out of ten, and still had one missing.
I understand, but the problem arises again.
The "Thunder Tiger" he has gathered himself does not have that domineering "power", how can he do it
He was very sure that if he was asked to realize it again, there would be no difference from the last time except for another waste of precious magic core.
Bazel seemed to see his doubts and said directly: "Boy, 'enlightenment' can't be achieved by just sitting there and meditating. Otherwise, with the current cultivation environment, how can you meditate and retreat here for decades? Can you become invincible without going out?"
Invincible
You can't pass the third level, but you're still invincible? !
Ren listened and fell into deep thought.
... .
"You can't understand the 'potential'. The biggest problem is... you don't have a sense of crisis!"
Bazel directly pointed out the reason and continued: "Between life and death, there is great terror and great enlightenment. The path to transcendence is originally to break through the limits of human ability. Only by enduring the 'great terror' that ordinary people cannot bear can we gain the ability of ordinary people." Unobtainable extraordinary power..."
"You haven't noticed that since your boy met me, there has been almost no crisis..."
Halfway through his words, Bazel suddenly choked.
No crisis
There's no danger for me!
This kid is like a lone star from heaven. After the two of them got together, he almost lost his life several times.
Being a weakling extraordinary bodyguard is even more risky than being the leader of a monster thief before!
Thinking of how many times he almost lost his life, Bazel seemed to have constipation and his face became very strange.
You said this kid is not in danger, this guy would have died a hundred times if he encountered those things.
But if you say he is in crisis, there are always a lot of experts around him to help, and the danger is always averted.
After struggling for a long time, this guy finally said: "We, the werewolf family, have a proverb, it was given to me by my father, and now it is given to you..."
After a pause, he said: "If an eagle jumps off the cliff without risking its life, it will never be qualified to soar in the sky."
... .
After listening to Bazel's words, Renn fell into deep reflection.
I can't understand the reason for "Thunder Tiger"'s dominance.
What you see with your eyes is always someone else’s.
The tigers in the zoo and the tigers in the mountains and forests are the same species, but their "power" is completely different.
And now he is like a fat and strong zoo tiger. He can still take two bites of the food brought to his mouth, but he has gradually lost his ability to hunt.
Probably in a few years, he will start to enjoy everything that power brings like those high-ranking nobles. It is a kind of "comfort zone" that makes people addicted.
Looking back now, Ren also found the root of the problem.
As Barzel said, he lacked a "sense of crisis."
Ever since he had this legendary strongman to protect him, he had a way out in his mind.
When encountering a crisis, the first thing that comes to mind is not how to solve it yourself, but the legendary master who will protect you. Even if he encounters a fatal crisis, he will think that if Bazel can't do anything, he can just wait to die.
It was a crisis, but not a sense of crisis.
The situation is even worse now. With Ymir, Coleman warriors, and Black Dragon City around you, you have everything at your fingertips.
You don’t have to worry about your cultivation resources, food, clothing, housing, transportation...anything for survival, you don’t have to worry about it.
Even when he went hunting before, there was always a group of high-level Coleman warriors around him to protect him.
Although it was still a battle, he never felt the awareness that he had to face death all the time.
On the contrary, during the previous year in the "Weasel Phantom Thieves", I was always walking on thin ice, and everything was done to survive. He was often between life and death, and often felt the "great terror" and "great enlightenment" that Bazel said. The martial arts he has learned are ruthless, cunning and full of ferocity.
At that time, he only knew some basic martial arts skills, but Bazel was full of praise;
Now that he has learned a high-level martial arts skill, the legend has never seen him again.
... .
At this time, Bazel saw that Ren was deep in thought and expressed his opinion.
He was very optimistic about Renne, and he didn't want the extraordinary journey of a junior who truly amazed him to stop here.
"I also know that your boy has the evil talent to learn everything. But talent is like a two-person sword. I have lived a long time, and I have seen countless people with outstanding talents, but in the end they disappeared into the public. On the contrary, those Although the talent is not the best, those who practice hard and perseverance can see extraordinary and high scenery..."
"I once told you that martial arts without souls are not your own. Even if you use your talent to learn a few of the six secret moves, you will not know until you reach the third level that you can reach that level. A master who has experienced hundreds of battles. Your six moves can frighten low-level extraordinary beings, but you will definitely suffer a big loss against a master. Only by concentrating your 'moment' first, and then realizing your 'boxing intention' can you truly enter the high-level Qualifications in the extraordinary realm.”
"Old Man Mafa asked you to choose the 'Thunder Tiger Magic Core', not only because it suits your extraordinary route. But more importantly, we all feel that... you have the heart to become a strong person. Boy Ren, You really want to experience extraordinary and higher realms, jump out of your comfort zone, and go out and experience it... "
"..."
After hearing this, Renn felt that he finally saw clearly the path he wanted to take in the future.
He looked at Bazel, the doubts in his eyes swept away, and suddenly became extremely determined, saying: "Senior, I plan to go out!"
When Bazel heard this, he smiled happily, nodded and said, "Yes."
