"If you come to my place again to eat, you have to pay 500 beli."
In a simple but clean hut, Ron walked out with the dishes, put them on the table, and spoke to Nami, who came to the table and sat down at an unknown time.
Although Nami temporarily lives in Garp's house, old man Garp seldom cooks and the food he cooks is very simple. Of course, it is far different from Ron. The food in the Navy Headquarters cafeteria is big pot rice, so It doesn't taste much better than Kapp's.
"Cheapskate, it's just a meal."
Nami held her chin in her hands, puffing out her face and humming softly.
Ron sat down in front of her, complaining in his heart. Nami had clearly calculated all the accounts that he needed to give money to Nami, and Nami would prevaricate them.
However, he just complained that the fifteen-year-old Nami's fussing over things was not annoying, but actually made her feel cute. The saying "cuteness is justice" is true.
"I have mastered the second-level magic."
While eating, Nami smiled at Ron and said, "This is a genius. How long did it take you to master the second-level magic?"
"Well, have you mastered second-level magic?"
Ron looked at Nami in slight surprise and said, "But it's very difficult to release it."
It has been half a month since I arrived at the Navy Headquarters.
Nami asked him about the second-level magic about ten days ago. He taught Nami the Gale Slash. He originally just gave Nami a way to practice. Unexpectedly, Nami actually mastered it in just ten days. Second level magic.
No wonder he triggered the spiritual resonance from Nami through the magic mark yesterday, which increased his mental power by 1 point. It seems that Nami has made a breakthrough in her practice.
However, Nami does not have a magic wand, so even if her mental power breaks through, it is estimated to be only 20 points. Even if she can release second-level magic, it must be extremely difficult, and she will be weak if she releases it.
"Yes, it is."
Nami tilted her head and said, "You will have to faint for a few minutes before you can recover after release."
"Try not to use it, and improve your mental power first."
Ron pondered for a moment and said: "If you faint, it may cause a small amount of damage to the spirit. Magic is different from physical skills. Physical skills are to force the body to the limit to squeeze the potential. The spirit cannot do that, and must do as much as possible. Stay well."
"learn."
Nami nodded.
Ron couldn't help but glance at Nami. Being able to master second-level magic in ten days was indeed a bit beyond his expectation. Although Nami was not an explorer and the runes were prepared for her by herself, she didn't have an elf wand either. It's really not easy to master second-level magic.
But Ron doesn't care about Nami's progress in catching up with him. On the one hand, Nami is still a long way from the second-level combination magic, and has reached the limit of her current mental power. On the other hand... his mental power It's almost breaking 100 points.
During this half month, he devoted himself completely to meditation practice.
Originally, his mental attribute had reached 96 points. In half a month, he improved his mental power by 2 points through practice. Nami's magic mark brought him a resonance improvement of 1 point yesterday, and now it is at 99 points. It's only the last 1 point away from 100 points.
And Ron could vaguely feel that this last point has reached the limit. It should be said that it is only 0.1 short of it. Maybe it can be achieved directly today.
After dinner.
Nami did not leave, but meditated in Ron's room.
Ron ignored Nami and also found a place to sit down, closed his eyes, let go of all thoughts and distractions, and entered a state of ethereal meditation.
One hour…
Two hours…
Time passed quietly.
Immersed in the state of meditation, Ron gradually ignored the passage of time, and even ignored everything in the outside world. The only bit of spiritual clarity continued to sink into the deepest part of his heart and spirit.
This is deep meditation.
Ron entered deep meditation very rarely because he could not actively enter this state and could only fall into it hazily during practice.
In a state of deep meditation, his thinking was almost stagnant, and he was in a state of selflessness. He didn't know who he was, where he was, or what he was doing.
You can't even get rid of it actively.
Only when you encounter influences from the outside world, such as being hungry or being woken up, will you withdraw from deep meditation. Otherwise, you will remain immersed.
In this selfless immersion, Ron suddenly felt that everything around him seemed to gradually change. From hazy and illusory, and chaotic, it gradually became differentiated. Various lights seemed to appear, some were golden, some were Red, cyan, blue.
It was like the originally dark world suddenly became clear.
“…”
Ron just faced the changing world blankly.
Because I am in a state of selflessness and forget my own existence, I just instinctively become curious about the changes in the world in front of me. What are those lights
Ron, whose thinking speed was usually dozens or hundreds of times that of ordinary people, seemed to be a hundred or a thousand times slower at this moment. Even with all his strength, Ron could not make his thoughts turn even half a circle.
Gradually it seems that the whole person is lost and loses himself.
And at this time.
In the haze.
He heard a somewhat vague call.
"… kindness… "
"...Ron..."
"Ron!!"
Suddenly, Ron woke up.
He withdrew from deep meditation, and his extremely slow, dementia-like thinking came back to life in an instant, and not just recovered, but started to spin at a much faster speed than before.
"This is… "
Sensing the change in his spirit, Ron was startled for a moment, and then he felt a sense of surprise. This change, without a doubt, was another transformation of his spirit!
The transformation brought about by reaching 100 points of spiritual power!
Although it was too late to perceive other changes, the speed of thinking alone was more than two or three times faster than before. The thinking became more flexible and the spirit became sharper!
Ron turned to look at Nami.
From a mental perspective, he could not only see that Nami's movements were dozens or hundreds of times slower, as if they were stagnant, but he could even see a scene like a magnifying glass.
The threads on the clothes were magnified to the size of trees, and those beautiful eyes could see his clear face reflected in the pupils.
Ron looked carefully, and the picture was enlarged again, and he could even see the tiny blood vessels in Nami's eyes. Everything was extremely clear and detailed.
Zoom in again.
Ron tried to maximize this subtle insight, and was finally able to enlarge the tiny blood vessels to the thickness of a finger. It seemed that he could vaguely see smaller things, but they were a little hazy. , it is no longer possible to zoom in.
"Close to cellular level observation!"
Ron couldn't help but take a deep breath.
In addition to these... Ron also felt that the whole world seemed to be different.
The world he perceived before was the normal world. At most, from a spiritual perspective, he could penetrate matter and see some small things beyond the naked eye, but he was unable to observe and perceive things outside of matter.
But now, he senses something beyond matter.
Fiery, restless, destructive...it was fire.
Flow, traceless, invisible... That is the wind.
No!
It should be said that it is the elements of fire and wind, as well as the solid earth, and the gentle, soft and cool water element... These tiny things that were intangible before are now clearly detectable!
