Hearing what Bufan said, Raphael first nodded in agreement, then shook his head and said, "Bufan, you are right, but not entirely. Do you know why Elas Academy sets the age for recruiting students to 14- 15 years old?"
"I've heard others say that people seem to grow very fast during this period, but..."
"But other academies don't have that rule at all, right? Instead, you think some prodigies who can reach the rank of sergeant at the age of 8 are even more powerful, right?"
Bufan nodded, it was indeed rumored to be like this outside.
"Well, their approach cannot be wrong. After all, their ideas are different and their goals are different. Most people will never reach the highest heights in their lives. Instead of pursuing that slim hope, it is better to cherish the present."
Seeing that Bufan was a little puzzled, Raphael didn't intend to explain too much. After all, the college only set age requirements and did not impose mandatory regulations on admissions. This kind of effort but not doing its best obviously also shows the attitude of the college. .
"It's too far away for you to say this. Just remember to reach the peak of apprenticeship at the age of 14-15, and then break through to the sergeant level. This will be good for you. Someone like you is pretty good."
"Oh." Bufan nodded in understanding.
"Okay, when it comes to the limit of development, we can put it this way. Suppose the body's potential is a bucket. Some buckets are big and some are small. This represents the potential of different people, just like some people are born with natural abilities. Infinity, there is no need to train and develop oneself at all. It is the same as having the power of nine oxen after adulthood, not to mention that some powerful monsters can shake mountains and crack the ground as soon as they are born, which is terrifying. And we humans can only have the power of nine oxen after training. This is the ultimate strength of the human body. Even so, many people cannot reach this number. Those who have exercised to one or two oxen will have reached the limit. Bufan, your ultimate strength is probably around 4 oxen."
"Yes." Bufan nodded. His ultimate strength was 3.8 N. This was the result of the test at the test site. Unexpectedly, Teacher Raphael could see it at a glance. Should he be said to be a teacher of the academy?
"Once your body develops to its limit, it will no longer be able to make any progress. This bottleneck state is what people often call the peak of apprenticeship. At this time, it begins to respond to the outside world. From the very beginning, From touching, to trying to absorb, your body gradually adapts to the presence of spirits, and then the devouring reaction is generated, and it begins to actively swallow up the spirits from the outside world, and uses the spirits to strengthen itself. This is the sign of entering the rank of sergeant, and also It can be said to be the beginning of transcendence.”
"Your current situation is that the phagocytosis reaction is generated. This is equivalent to stepping into the sergeant level with one foot, but the limit of the body has been stepped forward one step further, which has caused disharmony in your body. It's like a A butterfly that was about to emerge from its cocoon saw the world outside, but found that the cocoon around it suddenly became thicker, and the world outside tempted it all the time. Do you think it would break free even more fiercely? "
"Teacher, what do you mean, my body has actively devoured the spirit but found that I suddenly can't digest it? But I have seen a better future, and I instinctively plan to continue to persevere. Even if it hurts, I have no regrets?" Bufan murmured.
Raphael nodded. His body's instinct is such a wonderful reaction. Whether it's seeking good luck and avoiding disaster, or saying it's going its own way, it's there whether you think about it or not, and it will occasionally send you a message to induce you. Makes you want to stop.
"So what can take away the instinct?"
"Eliminate the instinct? Why eliminate it? Since the instinct is still there, you should be able to rest assured. Even if you persist in the instinct to avoid danger when encountering danger, doesn't that mean that your life is not in danger? "
"Is that so?"
After hearing that his life was not in danger, Feifan finally felt relieved, but he was still a little confused.
"Do I have to continue like this forever? Who can bear such pain?"
"Don't worry, it won't last forever. When your body instinctively feels that there is no use in swallowing it all the time, it will start to end this devouring reaction. As for the pain? It's just a little bit of pain. Just bear with it. It’s over.”
"It's over after you endure it?" The teacher said it easily, but Feifan was not relaxed at all. Every time he thought of yesterday's pain, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Is this also called a little pain?
"Let's do this, disciple! Give Bufan the blue pill."
After hearing this, Tilix put her hand into her pocket and took out a handful of colorful pills. Although it was not the first time she had seen these colorful pills, every time she saw them, she felt a little scared. , as if what Little Tilly was holding was not pills, but poison.
Tilix looked at the pills for a while, then picked out a dark green pill and handed it to Bufan.
"This is?" By the way, what the teacher just said was blue, right? Did you hear it wrong?
"That's a painkiller. If you feel you can't bear it, swallow it before going to bed."
"Oh, are there any side effects?" Bufan put aside his doubts, took the ball in his hand and put it away carefully, and asked with some worry.
"Don't worry, this medicine Tilix is often taken as candy, it's absolutely fine."
The little girl nodded, agreeing with the master's words.
After Teacher Raphael said this and seeing Tilix like this, Bufan became even more worried. However, compared with the pain of the past, unknown risks are still more terrifying no matter how you think about it. No matter how bad it is, how bad can it be? ? Thinking like this, Bufan felt certain in his heart.
"Teacher, generally speaking, my physical limit will not change. Could it be that I accidentally ate some heavenly material and earthly treasure?"
"Oh? You also know the treasures of heaven and earth?" Raphael joked.
"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."
"Then tell me what natural and earthly treasures can improve your physical limits?"
"..."
"Haha, it is said that treasures from heaven and earth can be obtained by those who have wealth. Generally speaking, this is true, but some extremely rare treasures may not be obtained even if the wealth reaches heaven. This requires fate. However, generally treasures that increase the physical limit, It’s true that you can buy it if you have money, but you.”
Raphael smiled and did not continue, but Bufan knew that the teacher probably meant that he was not that kind of person.
"Maybe I ate it by mistake, well, let me think about it..." It seems that besides eating in restaurants, I also ate in the cafeteria before, so the word "eat by mistake" cannot be mentioned.
"Okay, don't think about those things that are available and not available. Let me tell you the truth, you have never tasted Tiancai Dibao, but you don't think Tiancai Dibao is good. As far as I know, those few A treasure that can increase the limit of the human body has more or less side effects. Moreover, this kind of behavior of using drugs to increase one's potential is tantamount to destroying one's own potential and destroying one's own future."
"Then what am I?"
"Now that drugs have been eliminated, the only remaining possibility is that you have mutated."
"Mutations?"
"Well, mutation!" Raphael nodded affirmatively.
"Am I not a human being anymore?" Bufan touched his body. Did he become a monster?
"Boy, I'm really ashamed of your leaping thinking!" Raphael gave Bufan a thumbs up.
"Your body has mutated, not your whole person."
"There are good and bad mutations in the body, and your situation should be good. As for the direction of mutation, there are two types, one physical and one spiritual. I can't tell which one it is. But if it is about the soul, that would be the best. After all, the soul is the main body and the body is the supplement. A strong soul can nourish the body, but a strong body can only nourish the soul."
"Soul?" The teacher's words were like a ray of light hitting Bufan, making him suddenly enlightened. It turns out that this is the case!
Isn't the fusion of my two souls a mutation of my soul?
Doesn't it seem like he's getting better and better?
Is this the legendary protagonist template?
Work hard to reach the sergeant level, jump to the master level, cross the master level to reach the domain level, and then reach the pinnacle of life. Thinking about it carefully, I am still a little excited!
Although Bufan suppressed his happiness and tried to calm down, he couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.
When Raphael saw this, he didn't say anything, but he frowned slightly, a little worried.
"Teacher, as long as I train my body to the limit again, it will be possible for me to be promoted to the rank of sergeant, right?"
"Theoretically, that's true."
"Theoretically?" What the teacher said always felt unreliable.
"Don't worry, don't worry. As long as you don't seek death, you won't die. Don't worry."
"Oh, then I know."
****
It was getting very late, and the hungry Bufan couldn't wait to say goodbye after getting a satisfactory answer. Raphael turned around and saw Tilix looking at him, and couldn't help but smile: "Disciple, what's wrong?"
"Will he die?"
"Disciple, why do you care so much about that kid? I don't know." Raphael said angrily.
"Will he die?" Tilix continued to ask.
"Disciple, it makes me so sad to say that..."
Seeing Tilix staring at him expressionlessly, Raphael couldn't help but sigh and said: "I didn't lie before I became a teacher. This boy's body instincts are still there, so his life is not in danger anyway." . The problem is..."
"will die?"
"No, the question is how long this phagocytosis reaction can last. I don't know whether to say this kid is lucky or unlucky. There is a one-in-a-million chance of mutation happening to him. This was originally a good thing, but I didn't expect it. He was stuck at the point when he entered the peak of apprenticeship. Therefore, after the spirit entered the body, it was not absorbed, but slowly accumulated in the body. Slowly, the instinct to detect danger would stop the devouring behavior, and he would be unable to survive without the devouring reaction for the rest of his life. There will be another chance to advance.”
"However, in such a critical situation, he happened to be able to live in a dormitory with a large spirit gathering array. A large number of spirits were devoured to the point where he couldn't stop instinctively, so the devouring reaction became extremely active. The accumulation of spirits was also stimulating With the strengthening of his body. He should be in pain and happy, but this pain is like dropping a drop of water into hot oil. I feel like my tooth hurts just thinking about it."
"But in his current situation, he is racing against time. Whether he can succeed or not depends on his luck. There is a way that he can try. Alas, disciple, why don't you listen."
Seeing Tilix turning around to leave, Raphael was a little surprised and asked quickly.
"I understand." Tilix turned back to her master.
"What do you know? I haven't finished speaking yet."
Raphael looked at Tilix's leaving figure and couldn't help but touched his head.
"That kid will be my student from tomorrow. Should I help him or not? And do I have to let the other person know? It's a bit difficult."
"Forget it, just flip the gold coin. If it's heads, we'll help, but if it's tails, we won't."
Raphael did what he thought of. He took out a gold coin from his arms and threw it into the sky. The gold coin hit the ground with a crisp echo. Raphael looked at it and saw it was head-on.
"The first test doesn't count." Picked up the gold coin and threw it again. The result was still heads!
"Best of three."
Toss again, head!
"Best of five."
Toss again, head!
"Well, even God is helping you. As a teacher, I can't just ignore you, right?"
Raphael held his head and left with a look of regret. As he approached the corner, he suddenly stopped.
"Oh, my gold."
The gold coin that was originally lying on the corpse shook slightly, and then flew towards Raphael...
