Chapter 9: Twelve Floors Visualization Method

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Chu Lingjun drank some water, Shen Yanhu did not arrange for him to continue his lessons. Instead, he brought his student to a teaching building nearby.

This teaching building had an old architectural style, it was two-and-a-half stories, and had ancient scriptures along the walls.

Chu Lingjun walked in and felt as if he had come to some ancient royal residence. He was surrounded by fake mountains and lakes, everything felt so serene here.

Shen Yanhu led Chu Lingjun to a courtyard. Chu Lingjun looked up and saw a few words written on the stone arch — Visualization Garden.

“Take a step in. Lin Yin and the others still have another martial arts class to attend to.”

“Yes, sir.”

Chu Lingjun walked into the courtyard. The courtyard was quite large, and many banyan trees were planted all around.

Upon closer inspection, there was an ancient stone tablet placed under each banyan tree. Something seemed to be engraved on the stone tablet, and it flickered bright light with each passing second.

“Which class are you from?” A female teacher walked over with a flower register and asked.

Chu Lingjun looked at her and did a double take.

The female teacher had fair skin, long legs, and a dignified and beautiful appearance.

She was wearing a blue and white porcelain cheongsam. The cheongsam outlined her graceful and curvy figure, making his heart flutter.

She exuded an alluring classical type of fashion.

Chu Lingjun couldn’t stare at her for too long. He blushed and looked the other way.

“I’m a student from Grade One Class Four. My name is Chu Lingjun. Will you be the one teaching my visualization classes in the future?”

“You’re Chu Lingjun?”

The female teacher in the cheongsam clicked her tongue and looked at Chu Lingjun seriously again. She smiled and said, “If nothing unexpected happens… Then yes, I will be in charge of your visualization classes in the future.

“My name is Shan Qiuru. You can call me Miss Shan. You can ask me any questions during the cultivation process. Any questions?”

“Not for now, no.”

“Then we’ll start the class now. Is that okay?”

“Yes.”

Shan Qiuru immediately brought Chu Lingjun to the banyan tree closest to the door. Chu Lingjun could clearly see the stone tablet under the banyan tree.

The content on the stone tablet was very simple. It had simple artwork and used dozens of lines to carve out an ancient mansion inside.

Although the lines were crafted with ease, there was a hidden charm. With just a few dozen strokes, the mansion was vividly depicted.

“Look carefully and feel the power on the stone tablet. Then, visualize the ancient mansion in your mind.”

“Yes, miss!”

Chu Lingjun looked at the contents of the stone tablet in front of him and memorized every line.

While he was observing, Chu Lingjun realized that the stone tablet seemed to contain some kind of power that made his mental energy charge like a tidal wave. It was like his mind was being activated by another force.

After confirming that he had memorized it, Chu Lingjun closed his eyes and began to describe the contents of the stone tablet in his mind.

As the ancient mansion was slowly drawn out with his spiritual power, Chu Lingjun’s spiritual power miraculously increased as well.

When the mansion was fully manifested, a surge of mental power erupted.

Chu Lingjun’s mind shook. He managed to absorb this spiritual power and turned it into his own spiritual power.

His spiritual energy had increased!

This was the use of the visualization technique. It was also the main method for espers to train their spiritual power. During the visualization process, his spiritual energy would increase. After successfully visualizing the tablet, he will be able to absorb a trace of the spiritual energy contained in the stone tablet and use it for his own use.

His powers increased twofold!

The stone tablet in front of him was the famous Twelve Floors Visualization Method. It was also the visualization method used by most high schools in the country.

“You visualized the first stone tablet in twenty minutes. According to this speculation, your spiritual force is at least above twenty points.”

Shan Qiuru carefully observed him while he worked. The moment Chu Lingjun opened his eyes, she spoke up

“You can take a rest then visualize the second stone tablet when you’re ready.”

“Yes, miss!”

Chu Lingjun looked at the second stone tablet while resting and saw that the content on the stone tablet was much more complicated than the first one.

The mansion had become a two-story ancient mansion.

The first stone tablet had about 40 lines, and the second had 60 lines.

Chu Lingjun closed his eyes and rested for a while before walking to the second banyan tree to continue his journey.

The difficulty had increased by half. Chu Lingjun spent nearly 30 minutes visualizing the second tablet.

Chu Lingjun was drenched in sweat when he finished. His legs went limp as he fell to the ground, panting heavily.

His brain was buzzing and throbbing, as if two steel needles had been inserted into his temples and stirred fiercely!

His spiritual power was completely exhausted.

“Cultivating mental energy is even more tiring than tempering one’s vitality…”

Chu Lingjun had just finished visualizing the second stone tablet when a few figures appeared at the door.

Shen Yanhu walked in with two students — Lin Yin and Zhuo Chang.

Although these people had also awakened their superpowers, their superpowers were more special. In the early stages, their combat strength was weak, or they needed the cooperation of martial artists to fully unlock their powers.

Therefore, the school arranged an additional martial arts class for them.

For example, Lin Yin’s superpower was the wood element. In the early stages, the wood element was weak and could only use spells like vines, wood thorns, and wood healing spells.

Only by improving her physical attributes would she be able to shoot faster and more accurately.

At the same time, she can run for cover quicker when she encounters danger.

Zhuo Chang’s superpower was the strength enhancement of the Battle Domain. This ability was used in conjunction with martial arts, so he had to practice twice as hard for this.

“How’s progress?” Shen Yanhu glanced at Chu Lingjun and asked Shan Qiuru.

“Not bad. His spiritual force should be over twenty points, and his personality is also stable enough to endure hardships. He’s a good kid.” Shan Qiuru praised.

“That’s good.”

Mentality could not be seen or touched, making it even more difficult to test.

The harder it is to test, the more expensive the equipment needs to be!

At the very least, Quicksand High School was still able to afford the cost of the spiritual force testing machine.

The teachers could only give the students a rough estimate based on their teaching experience.

Chu Lingjun had 20 points of spiritual force. It didn’t seem like much, only twice as much as an ordinary person.

However, it was much more difficult to raise mentality than vitality!

In the martial arts class just now, eating mutated beast meat could increase his vitality by five wisps in one martial arts class and ten wisps in two classes.

Right now, the energy from the exotic beast meat that he had eaten for lunch would have been completely digested. The increase in vitality in the later courses would not sum to much; only three or two wisps.

If that was the case, the students would only be able to increase their vitality by one point in three or four days.

As for spiritual power… Under the same conditions, it would take six or seven days to increase one point of spiritual energy.

Therefore, 20 points of spiritual energy was actually very high.

“We’re here.” Lin Yin, Zhuo Chang, and a few others walked over and greeted him.

“Alright, let’s cultivate together.”

40 minutes later, Lin Yin, Zhuo Chang, and the others finally succeeded in visualizing the first tablet. Many of them fell to the ground in exhaustion. Their faces were pale and their foreheads were covered in cold sweat.

“Oh my… That was so difficult. I feel like my brain is about to explode!”

“I… Me too…”

“Lingjun… Did your brain hurt this much after visualizing the first stone tablet?” Lin Yin asked Chu Lingjun with a pale face.

“Did it take forty minutes?”

“A little less, but my brain did hurt after.”

Lin Yin and the others heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that even someone as powerful as Chu Lingjun was in such pain when cultivating.

They felt much better knowing that he encountered hardships as well.
