Chapter 13 Spiritual Space
The molten steel emitting purple light rolled in Xu Yue's palm, but did not show any temperature. Xu Yue drank the molten steel and then showed his arms that turned silver to the professor.
Since he needs the professor's help, Xu Yue will not hide it, and fully displaying his talent to the professor will have other benefits.
"The quality of the fire ignited by enemies of different levels is also different. My current fire can only refine alloy steel, but it is useless against Logan's Adamantium alloy."
The professor knocked Xu Yue's silver arm with the ornaments on the table, making a clear metal collision sound, which made the look in his eyes brighter and brighter:
"This reminds me of my former students, Pyro and Colossus, but your abilities are much scarier than theirs."
"Plunder, grow, there is almost no upper limit to your abilities."
"Xinhuo, how many people have you absorbed so far?"
When the professor said this, he stared into Xu Yue's eyes.
"21 people." Xu Yue didn't say these 21 people. He only used 4 days.
The professor was obviously relieved. He could see that Xu Yue was not lying. Although he believed that power was neither good nor bad, this ability was too easy to indulge. Killing people can make you stronger.
The professor looked at Xu Yue and said seriously: "Xinhuo, you must remember that restraining desires is the instinct of the strong. Wanton indulgence will eventually lead to destruction."
"I see."
Even without the restriction of mental shock, Xu Yue would not choose to kill wantonly for the sake of fire, not because of kindness or morality, he didn't have much of this stuff.
It is purely because he understands that desire is an endless abyss, and the result of overindulgence is to swallow everything. This is how most of the violators in the paradise come to be.
Only enemies are qualified fuel.
The professor was very satisfied with Xu Yue's eyes. He could see the firmness in them.
"I roughly understand where your problem comes from."
"When the fire is lit, it burns not only the enemy's body, but also the soul. It turns the entire existence into fuel for the fire. This is the purest form of plunder."
"This ability is very scary, you should use it with caution." The professor looked seriously, paused, and continued.
"The shock you feel when you absorb the food fire is actually the enemy's mental power. As the food fire enters your mind, it will cause more and more burdens on you as it continues to accumulate, just like your soul is hung with The weight will make you dizzy."
"It might even crush your soul in the end."
Xu Yue didn't interrupt. He listened very seriously. This is extremely important for whether he can grow quickly in the future.
"To solve this effect, one is to lengthen the time between absorbing the fire. The accumulated mental power without thinking will subtly strengthen your soul, but the efficiency is very slow."
"The second is to learn a way to actively absorb or kill the mental energy in the mind, so that trouble becomes a benefit, but this is very rare."
As long as the problem is found, rare is not a problem. Reincarnation Paradise has unlimited possibilities. Today's professor's guidance was of great help to Xu Yue, which pointed out the direction for him.
"Thank you very much, Professor, this helped me a lot."
Xu Yue stood up and sincerely expressed his gratitude to the professor. Charles had good intentions towards all confused mutants and was willing to lend a helping hand, which deserves respect.
"Professor, it's getting late, so I won't disturb you anymore. You can rest peacefully."
After that, Xu Yue was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by the professor.
"Wait, Xinhuo."
"I can teach you a method of meditation that will allow you to access your inner space where you may be able to find solutions to your problems."
Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, looking at the professor with an incomprehensible look, but the professor didn't care and patted the bed next to him to signal him to sit down.
"Come on, sit with your legs crossed and concentrate."
Xu Yue followed the professor's instructions and sat down cross-legged. The professor beside him stretched out his fingers and pressed lightly on Xu Yue's temples.
"Relax, if you want to enter the spiritual space, or the spiritual world, you must first understand what spirit is and what the heart is."
The professor's voice was soft and had a drowsy charm.
"Psionics can intuitively feel their own souls, but you can't, so I will take you into my psychic space first. This will allow you to have a clearer understanding of it. Don't resist, Spirit Relax."
Phew~
Xu Yue felt his consciousness gradually dimming, and the professor's voice seemed to be coming from afar, becoming more and more ethereal.
"Wake up!"
A voice sounded, and Xu Yue opened his eyes suddenly, but he was no longer in the room.
In front of you is a huge European-style manor, with a towering and majestic castle, vast green grassland, and exquisite atmosphere. However, the overly gloomy sky above makes the entire manor look a bit deep.
"This is...X Academy?"
"Yes, but now it only exists in my inner space."
The professor's voice sounded from behind, with a hint of melancholy.
Xu Yue turned around and saw that the professor in front of him was not sitting in a wheelchair. Although he was still old, his suit was straight and his waist was straight. He was completely different from the decadent image in the outside world.
The professor raised his eyebrows at Xu Yue, walked forward and motioned for Xu Yue to follow.
"I'm not paralyzed here. Come on, I'll show you around."
Following the professor's footsteps, Xu Yue visited this magnificent castle. The fragrance of the vegetation, the touch of the bricks and the texture of the reliefs all seemed extremely real.
The five senses of sight, hearing, touch, and smell are all the same as reality. It is difficult to imagine that all this is illusion.
"Here, as long as you have enough mental power, you can build anything in reality, and even transcend reality."
The professor was explaining and demonstrating to Xu Yue, as if he was back to the way he used to teach at X College.
"You can build fire, ice, or even cartoon life."
With a wave of the professor's hand, a blazing flame appeared in front of Xu Yue. He couldn't help but be forced back a few steps by the heat wave, and then the flame condensed into an ice flower. The coldness that hit his face made his temples glow with a wisp of white frost.
In the end, Hyouka even turned into a big blue human-shaped cat, which was very similar to Tom in the animation, but more realistic.
Tom Cat had a flattering expression on his face. After meowing at Xu Yue, he held his right hand and moved it up and down.
"But these are all illusions after all. They cannot affect the real world. They are just fantasies in the spiritual world, but they appear to be more real. We cannot construct things that do not exist in reality or cannot be imagined in our thinking, such as gods."
The professor waved again, and Tom Cat, who was rubbing Xu Yue's calf coquettishly, turned into bubbles and disappeared.
"The mind space is also a reflection of the real world. It is composed of our thinking, will, cognition, memory, etc. It will be affected by our personality, emotions and even physical diseases..."
As the story continued, the professor and Xu Yue had passed through the castle and arrived at the backyard. The sky here was even gloomier. When they looked up, they saw an invisible cemetery with countless densely packed tombstones standing there.
The tombstones in the front row had obvious X marks. The professor looked sadly at the familiar names in the cemetery.
Mystique, Beast, Storm, Cyclops, Phantom Cat...
"My past is buried here."
Xu Yue did not speak, but just stared at the cemetery silently with the professor. The atmosphere was a bit dull.
"This is the spiritual space. It is not divorced from reality and exists in everyone's heart. Or according to Freud's theory of consciousness, it exists under the iceberg, at the bottom of the unconscious."
"It is not exclusive to psychics, but we can perceive it more easily. In a sense, as long as the method is appropriate and the will is strong, anyone can perceive the psychic space, but it must be as real as me , which requires strong mental strength and unique methods.”
After saying that, the professor turned his attention to Xu Yue.
"This is a seed. It can regulate the body, sort out the mind, and strengthen the will. It should also be able to solve your problems."
"When your mental power becomes stronger and stronger, it can also be used as a fulcrum to leverage your strong mental power."
As the explanation continued, Xu Yue's eyes became brighter and brighter. This was a very powerful ability and could even serve as the foundation of a system.
The professor is right, this is a seed that can grow into a towering tree.
