In this world, the hand technique used by monks to cast spells is to pinch the knuckles of the other four fingers with the thumb. The range of movement is very small, making it difficult for the opponent to take advantage of the opportunity. Even some people are really sharp-eyed. For example, people with insight like Ye Zan can see what spells the caster is preparing. However, the spellcaster can also create the illusion of casting other spells to the enemy through virtual pinching techniques.
Reality is reality, and many things must be considered from a practical point of view. Even if some flashy things are not abandoned voluntarily, they will definitely be cruelly eliminated by reality. Just like this spell-casting technique, how to use it faster and more secretly is the real issue. No matter how beautiful and pleasing it is, your opponent will not let you go just because of this.
In some film and television animation works, when casting a spell or performing a move, one has to shout out the name of the spell or move, for fear that one's opponent will not know the same thing. This cannot be said to be bad. After all, in the eyes of the audience, hearing those crazy, cool and explosive moves will indeed arouse the enthusiasm in their hearts, and they will now be involved in the situation of the work. However, if it is placed in reality, it is obviously inappropriate. That is why it is said that art originates from life and is higher than life.
After hearing Ye Zan's words, the inner disciple who was called up, although he didn't know what Ye Zan suddenly wanted to say, he still practiced the basic techniques honestly.
There are not many basic tricks, they are the heavenly stems "A, B, B, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui", plus the earthly branches "Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei". , Shen, You, Xu, Hai". The real spell-casting techniques are based on the combination of these heavenly stems and earthly branches to form a unique technique for each spell.
The inner disciple raised his hand and deliberately slowed down, but still showed all the basic techniques in the blink of an eye. After stopping what he was doing, he looked at Ye Zan with a slightly uneasy expression, and said respectfully: "Reporting to the ancestor, the disciple has finished showing off."
Ye Zan nodded and said, "Yes, my basic skills are pretty solid."
When the inner disciple heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he felt a little happy in his heart. In fact, no one in the inner sect was unfamiliar with such basic tricks. He just happened to be pointed out by Ye Zan. Therefore, he did not expect that just by showing this basic technique, he would be praised by Patriarch Ye.
In fact, the reason why Ye Zan praised this sentence was not out of his heart, but simply copied the so-called "encouragement education" in the technology world. In terms of education in the world of science and technology, there used to be two major schools, one is "frustration education" and the other is "encouragement education". The ideas of these two groups can be said to be completely opposite. No one can convince the other, and no one has a successful case at hand.
The so-called "frustration education", to put it more extreme, means that nothing students do is right, and nothing they do is ever good enough. Do you think you're doing good enough? Sorry, you are rubbish. What you do is not good. There is a problem here and there is a problem there. This shows that you have no intention at all. "Idiot", "mentally retarded", "idiot" and "why don't you die" are common words used by teachers who are frustrated by education.
Supporters of frustration education believe that continuously attacking students' self-esteem can prevent students from being arrogant, make students better able to withstand stress, and enable students to turn grief and anger into strength.
It is true that there are such students, and there are also so-called successful people who work hard all the way with resentment towards their teachers. When they reached the pinnacle of their lives, they understood their teacher's "good intentions" back then, and their resentment towards the teacher turned into gratitude. However, there are also those who hold grudges and eventually even take revenge on their teachers.
The so-called "encouragement education", to put it bluntly, is praise. Even if the students do not do well, they will still find their shining points to express their appreciation. Did you fail in this matter? It doesn't matter. What you did in this matter is worthy of appreciation. With your talent, as long as you work harder, this difficulty will be nothing at all. In short, it’s just praise, and no matter how much you praise, it’s not without praise if you succeed or if you fail.
Those who support encouraging education believe that praise and praise are the driving force for students to move forward, can maximize students' enthusiasm, and enable students to engage in learning with a happy attitude. In this kind of education, there are also many successful cases, but there are also some that are so praised that they can't find fault.
Ye Zan himself is probably a supporter of the "encouragement education" school. Anyway, when he was in school, he felt that teachers who adopted "encouragement education" would always make him feel better. Of course, he has never been a teacher and has not received any education in this area. At most, he was a little influenced and instinctively boasted casually.
Then, Ye Zan did not let the disciple sit back, but said again: "You should be able to perform the fireball technique of the fire spell."
"Reporting to the ancestor, disciple, you can." The disciple quickly replied.
"Then show it again." Ye Zan said calmly.
But after hearing this, the disciple hesitated a little, looked at the surrounding scene, and asked with a troubled expression: "Ancestor, are you here?"
Although the lecture hall is not small, due to the large number of people attending the lecture, it seems a bit small and crowded. Although it is not full of people, there is not much space to cast spells. Although the fireball technique is only the most basic small spell, once it is thrown out, it cannot be controlled. If it is not kept intact, it will cause some trouble.
Ye Zan smiled faintly and said nonchalantly: "I'm here to watch, you can just use it, you don't have to worry about anything else."
Yes, with the Nascent Soul Ancestor present, there is nothing to be afraid of! The disciple immediately felt at ease and said, "Disciple, I obey."
As he spoke, the disciple raised his hand again, tapped his fingers twice, and pinched a fireball technique. After all, it is the most basic spell, and the fireball technique is also very simple. It is just a combination of the two basic techniques "Wu-Si". As the technique was completed, a fireball about the size of a basketball condensed out of thin air in front of the disciple, and flew forward as soon as it appeared.
Ye Zan stood in front of the lecture hall and saw the fireball flying towards this side. He raised his hand and pressed it into the void. Suddenly, an invisible force field enveloped the fireball, trapping the flying fireball in mid-air.
Most of the inner disciples have never seen much of the world, and the most powerful people they usually meet are just a few golden elixir masters who come to teach. Therefore, even though he knew that Ye Zan was the ancestor of Yuanying, he still couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this scene, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
Ye Zan smiled secretly and shook his head. He grabbed the imprisoned fireball in the air and used the invisible force field to hold the fireball in front of him. He took a look at the imprisoned fireball. Even without using the method of insight, he could instantly see the various data of the fireball. Then he said to the disciple who cast the spell: "Well, it seems that you have also mastered the fireball technique." A lot of effort.”
I was praised again, I was praised again! The disciple was so flattered when he heard Ye Zan's words that he even had the illusion that he was going to be accepted as his direct disciple. Of course, he also knew that it was an illusion. As an inner disciple selected by the Jindan masters, no matter how good he was at the fireball technique, he would not be favored by a Nascent Soul Ancestor.
"Okay, let's take a look at this fireball technique." Ye Zan turned his attention to the other disciples and said to everyone: "This fireball technique is the primary spell of fire magic. I believe that most of you here are also capable. Then, does anyone know how high the temperature of this fireball technique is?"
"Temperature?" Ye Zan's question made the disciples who wanted to show their faces in front of Ye Zan suddenly look at each other.
In this world, there is no specific standardized rule for temperature. At most, there are subjective judgments of feelings such as "cold", "hot" and "lukewarm". Even alchemists who play with fire all day long and are very particular about the temperature of fire have not come up with a unified temperature measurement tool. For alchemists, the heat required for alchemy relies more on experience. If you feel the heat is up, just add more heat. If you feel the heat is not enough, add more heat.
Therefore, when Ye Zan asked about the word "temperature", many disciples only understood the literal meaning and thought that Ye Zan was saying that the fireball was "warm". And "warm" means neither cold nor hot. Although the fireball spell is only the most basic spell, it cannot be said to be warm.
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Ye Zan immediately came to his senses. It seemed that he had to figure out the concept of temperature first. So, he waved his hand, and the fireball in front of him floated to the side, and then said to everyone: "You can understand the word temperature as referring to the power of flames. I have a magic weapon here that can display the temperature as a number. This will make it easier for you to understand.”
Ye Zan didn't talk about the more basics, but just took out the thermometer. If we really want to talk about temperature in detail, there will be too much to teach, and it will be like giving them a physics class. Anyway, those physical knowledge didn't have much impact on spells, so Ye Zan was too lazy to waste his saliva. If someone was really interested in this and wanted to understand the knowledge in depth, he wouldn't mind giving it a private lecture.
Ye Zan's connection of "temperature" with "the power of flame" gave those disciples a certain one-sided understanding of the word "temperature". In their opinion, the "temperature" Ye Zan mentioned and the magical instrument that can display the temperature as a number should be similar to the relationship between the "jin liang" and the "scale" of weighing.
At this time, Ye Zan placed the thermometer on the edge of the fireball. A line of numbers, five hundred and sixty-eight, was immediately displayed on the small screen of the thermometer.
The thermometer screen is small, and the numbers are even smaller. Fortunately, those present were all inner disciples. With their cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Realm, their eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people, and they could all clearly see the row of numbers.
"Have you seen this number? This number is the temperature of the fireball. You can also understand it as the power of the fireball. After all, the main power of fireball and many fire spells is burning. And five hundred and six Eighteen, let’s say it’s five hundred degrees. This temperature of fire is actually equivalent to the fire in an ordinary person’s stove,” Ye Zan explained to everyone.
"Is it just like the fire in the stove?" The disciples seemed a little unable to accept Ye Zan's statement. After all, this fireball technique is a spell. In their opinion, no matter how elementary it is, it is still a high-level thing, and the fire in the stove is probably at the lower level.
"Haha, don't you believe it?" Ye Zan asked with a smile.
Although no one dared to question what Ye Zan had just said in front of Ye Zan, every disciple still had an unacceptable look on their face.
"You have to believe it if you don't believe it. I'm too lazy to verify anything for you. You can just think of it and verify it yourself in the future. Or let's go back to this fireball, with a temperature of 500 degrees, or the power you understand, what can it do? To what extent? You have all practiced this fireball technique, so you should know what this fireball can burn. It is no problem to burn people. After all, this spell is designed to burn ordinary wooden things. No problem." Ye Zan paused here, letting everyone turn their attention back to him, and then said: "But, can it be used to burn copper and iron?"
"In the secular world, isn't it necessary to use fire to refine copper, iron, gold and silver?" A disciple finally couldn't help but said.
"Then the fireball technique you cast can smelt copper, iron, gold and silver?" Ye Zan asked rhetorically.
Everyone shook their heads.
"The fireball technique is fire, the torch is also fire, the stove is fire, and the smelting of copper, iron, gold and silver is also fire. Why can it show different powers? Fire is not an object, but a phenomenon, which refers to the burning phenomenon of objects. ." Ye Zan further explained.
In fact, people in this world also understand what Ye Zan said, but no one summarizes it, or traces it to its source.
Many things in this world are like this. Everyone takes them for granted, but no one explores the root cause. Before the development of science and technology, the world of science and technology was actually the same. For example, everyone knew that people would die if they did not breathe, but few people explored why. Before knowing the composition of air, people generally did not regard air as a concrete substance.
"This is a matter of temperature. All substances have an ignition point. Only when the temperature reaches this ignition point can this thing burn. From your understanding, it is the power of fire that is exerted. So, next I want to What I’m telling you is how to affect the temperature of fire.” Ye Zan finally came to the topic of this lesson.
