Chapter 266: Telekinesis

Her tone turned firm:

"As for the help I expect you to provide, it's simple—I need your favor to stabilize my state and ultimately help me break through the limitations of 'Mana Devour' and complete the promotion."

Luo En pondered slightly, his face showing caution:

"Theoretically, this exchange is feasible. Through continuous knowledge exchange, we can establish a stable flow of favor between us. But I'm afraid I cannot give a promise to solve the 'Mana Devour' problem immediately."

"I understand."

Princess Yi Fu said softly, a trace of fatigue flashing in her eyes, then replaced by hope:

"But even if there is only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, I am willing to try. Over the years, Mother has let me try all conventional therapies, but none of them could truly solve the problem."

Luo En looked at this black-haired young girl and read the pain and torment of being trapped in her own talent from her eyes.

A wizard seed born with extraordinary talent, but imprisoned in her own body.

Unable to exert the power she was born with, she was instead tortured by it.

This feeling was probably even harder to bear than simple physical pain.

"I understand your situation." Luo En said sincerely:

"Although I cannot guarantee that I can solve your problem, I am willing to try. After all, this is a beneficial exploration for both of us."

Princess Yi Fu's eyes lit up: "Really? Are you willing to help me?"

"Yes, we can try to establish a special favor flow through mutual teaching."

Luo En thought about possible plans:

"I will share my experience in potionology and bloodline modulation with you, especially those parts that might be helpful for 'Mana Devour' symptoms. At the same time, you can share the historical secrets and knowledge systems of other worlds permitted by Professor Youteer with me."

"This... this is great!"

The black-haired princess was so excited she almost stood up, but quickly controlled her emotions:

"I mean... thank you for being willing to try. I know this might be unprecedented in wizard history."

"Indeed." Luo En nodded:

"Primal Wizards are rare, and the situation of knowledge exchange between two Primal Wizards is almost impossible to exist."

"What do you mean?"

"Generally speaking, a Primal Wizard appears about every two hundred years."

Luo En explained:

"When the second Primal Wizard is born, if the former has not died young, they have usually grown into a Great Wizard-level existence. In this case, the difference in life level between the two is too large, and it is difficult for the latter to bring real inspiration to the former."

Princess Yi Fu was thoughtful:

"So, like my mother and you, the communication between two Primal Wizards is indeed an extremely rare situation."

"Yes, this is why I am interested in your proposal." Luo En nodded with a smile.

Princess Yi Fu's eyes flickered with the light of hope:

"If successful, perhaps I can use the pure favor you give to briefly get rid of the shackles of 'Mana Devour' and complete the promotion. And as long as I can promote to a formal wizard and obtain a leap in life level, this symptom should be alleviated a lot."

"This is indeed a reasonable speculation."

Luo En nodded:

"The promotion of a formal wizard is not just an increase in mana, but an improvement in the essence of life, which may reshape the mana structure in your body."

The two continued to discuss the details and gradually formed a preliminary plan.

"Regarding the details of our cooperation, it is best to further clarify."

Luo En took a sip of tea:

"I need to know exactly the scope of knowledge you intend to teach, and what kind of help you expect to get from me."

Princess Yi Fu took a deep breath: "The content I can share is mainly divided into three aspects."

She slender fingers tapped on the table:

"First, it is the wizard history permitted by Grandpa Youteer, especially the secret records about the abyss and high-level existences—these materials are strictly controlled by the Crown Clan and the Truth Court, and outsiders are difficult to access."

"Professor Youteer is interested in our plan?"

"Very interested." Princess Yi Fu smiled:

"He said this is an 'unprecedented interesting attempt' worth paying close attention to."

Seeing Princess Yi Fu's extremely bright smile, Luo En suddenly realized that although she possessed extraordinary talent and status, she was still a young girl who longed to be understood and supported.

Fourteen years of imprisonment had caused her to lose too many experiences and joys that normal young people should have.

"Secondly, it is the knowledge systems of many other worlds, including some unconventional paths that are nearly lost."

"Finally, it is the mental power fine manipulation skills I have been immersed in all these years—because I cannot cast spells normally, I have devoted all my energy to the precise control of mental power, which might provide you with some inspiration."

Luo En's eyes narrowed slightly, weighing the value of this knowledge.

Wizard history and knowledge systems of other worlds could fill many gaps in his understanding of this world;

And mental power fine manipulation might significantly improve his combat ability.

"These are indeed extremely precious pieces of knowledge." Luo En evaluated sincerely:

"Especially the knowledge systems of other worlds, which are almost blank even in the public archives of the Crystal Spire."

"Because these materials are almost monopolized by several major wizard families."

Princess Yi Fu smiled bitterly, a trace of disapproval flashing in her purple crystal eyes:

"They firmly believe that knowledge is power and must strictly control the scope of dissemination; only those with qualifications can obtain it. But I personally think that knowledge should flow, and only communication can produce new sparks."

(End of chapter)

If this fine control were integrated into his "Spiritual Shock," perhaps a more precise and lethal attack method could be created;

And if used for "Spell Construction," it could significantly increase spell efficiency, achieving stronger output with the same input.

Yi Fu waved her hand to disperse the particles and turned to Luo En:

"I think this technique should be able to inspire some thoughts on your application of spiritual power. Especially for you as a Primal Wizard, applying this technique might produce even more astonishing effects."

Luo En nodded slightly, a trace of inquisitive interest flashing in his eyes:

"I am very much looking forward to learning this technique in depth; it truly represents a rare and precious line of thought."

"Then, is it settled?"

There was undisguised expectation in Yi Fu's voice, and a light of hope flickered in her amethyst eyes:

"I will officially become your student, and at the same time, we will exchange knowledge privately and inspire each other?"

"It is settled." Luo En nodded slightly, officially confirming this unusual agreement.

"That's great!"

Whether it was the Treasure Grade rating or the focus on abyss research, this all signaled that he would obtain unprecedented development opportunities at the Crystal Spire.

At that moment, she was no longer the high-and-mighty princess of the Wang Guan clan, but just a young girl who had found hope.

That pure joy made Luo En feel a touch of emotion in his heart.

But he quickly suppressed this emotion and returned to rationality.

"From today on, I am your student, Mentor Ralph."

Yi Fu tidied her thoughts slightly and said in a more formal tone:

"I will attend your public courses and earnestly complete every assignment you set."

Luo En smiled slightly: "I will also try my best to be a qualified mentor and provide you with help as much as I can."

"Then, please just call me Yi Fu directly." The black-haired girl said softly:

"Now I am just one of your many students, no special treatment is needed."

………………

"Have you heard? Her Highness Yi Fu of the Wang Guan clan has become a student of Assistant Luo En!"

"What? That little princess suffering from 'Magic Devouring' symptoms? She actually dared to leave that small building isolated from magic?"

"I heard she has already attended Assistant Luo En's public class twice, and she intends to continue auditing the subsequent content!"

"It's incredible! She has never even attended courses personally opened by some guest associate professors; how could she be so interested in a newly arrived assistant?"

The news spread through the Crystal Spire with astonishing speed, as if it had grown wings.

From student dormitories to teacher lounges, from the library to the alchemy laboratory, everyone was talking about this unusual matter.

Those whispers formed an invisible web, weaving Luo En's name into the power structure of the Crystal Spire more rapidly and effectively than he had anticipated.

Every time Yi Fu appeared in class, it would cause a slight commotion.

Students would unconsciously steal glances at the black-haired girl who always sat in the front row, guarded by two peculiar golems, their gazes filled with both curiosity and awe.

And those senior apprentices would even come specifically to audit, just to catch a glimpse of this legendary genius girl.

The first week of trial classes ended quickly, and Luo En officially began his teaching career.

Due to Yi Fu's participation and the high-level teaching standard he displayed, the number of applicants far exceeded expectations, and almost every class was packed.

What was even more surprising was that even though a tuition fee as high as one hundred magic stone fragments was required every month, a large number of students were still scrambling to sign up.

This was an extremely rare phenomenon in the teaching history of the Crystal Spire, and it even attracted the attention of several teaching supervisors.

"Mentor, another thirty-two students have submitted formal registration applications."

Lisi stood in Luo En's office, holding a stack of documents, her voice trembling slightly with excitement:

"This has already exceeded the maximum capacity of the classroom; the Academic Affairs Office suggests opening a second session."

Lisi had voluntarily applied to become Luo En's assistant after the first trial class, responsible for handling daily academic affairs.

Through "Extraordinary Identification," Luo En discovered that although this young girl had average spiritual power aptitude, she had quite good talent in potionology.

It was just that she had always lacked proper guidance and had taken many detours.

"Hmm, then add another session, scheduled for Thursday afternoon."

Luo En nodded after a moment of thought, his gaze moving away from a complex alchemy blueprint:

"By the way, Lisi, your recent progress has been fast."

Upon hearing this, a flush of excitement immediately appeared on Lisi's face:

"This is all thanks to the mentor's excellent teaching. Since adjusting the spiritual power operation path according to your suggestions, my meditation efficiency has increased by at least thirty percent!"

Her voice rose slightly with excitement:

"The most magical thing is that improved version of the 'Spiritual Stabilizer' formula, which allows me to maintain a focused state for a longer time. Before your guidance, I could only maintain deep meditation for twenty minutes at most, but now I can easily reach forty-five minutes or even longer!"

Luo En nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction with this diligent student.

Under just a few weeks of guidance, Lisi had grown from an ordinary apprentice into one of the best in the class.

The success rate of experimental configurations had increased by nearly forty percent, which further verified the effectiveness of his teaching methods.

"Continue to maintain this state and move forward according to the learning route I designed for you." Luo En encouraged:

"In next month's course, I will explain some more in-depth potion theories; you need to prepare in advance."

"Yes, Mentor! I will definitely not let you down."

Lisi nodded solemnly, then hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking:

"Mentor, regarding Her Highness Yi Fu, will she really keep coming to listen to the lectures?"

Luo En smiled slightly: "Why, does her presence make you feel nervous?"

"A little." Lisi admitted honestly, her voice trembling slightly:

"After all, she is a princess of the Wang Guan clan, and it is said that her talent is extraordinarily astonishing.

When she was a few years old, she was already able to recite the entire 'Fundamentals of Elemental Studies' and correct three logical errors in it.

Such a genius... even if she cannot practice normally due to 'Magic Devouring' symptoms, I fear she is still far beyond us in theoretical knowledge."

"Don't be influenced by these rumors." Luo En reassured:

"In class, she is the same as you, all my students. You don't need to pay special attention to her identity, just focus on your own learning."

Lisi nodded in understanding, then reported some other academic matters before respectfully exiting the office.

After Lisi left, Luo En stood up and walked to a corner of the office.

A specially made alchemy device was placed there:

This was one of his main purposes for coming to the Crystal Spire, the prototype of a simulated combat device.

The device was a complex structure composed of dozens of rare materials, with a transparent crystal ball the size of a fist in the center, inside which floated Akesa's soul fragments.

Twelve small energy nodes surrounded the soul fragments, forming a complete energy circulation system.

Luo En gently touched the surface of the device, a light of inquiry and expectation flashing in his eyes.

Once this device was completed, it would provide him with a place to conduct high-intensity training anytime and anywhere, greatly accelerating the speed of strength improvement.

However, to complete this device, a lot of time and energy was still needed.

Especially the stabilization of the soul fragments and the optimization of the energy circulation system were extremely thorny problems.

Fortunately, the spiritual power refinement and control technique taught to him by Yi Fu provided a brand-new line of thought for solving these difficult problems.

Through that precise control at a near-microscopic level, he could perform more delicate energy adjustments, making the stability of the entire system increase significantly.

In addition to the research and development of the simulated combat device, Luo En did not relax the improvement of his own skills during this period.

Every night, he would conduct long-term meditation under the starlight, constantly strengthening his mana foundation through the "Star Projection" trait.

At the same time, he was also actively training two core skills—spell construction and spiritual shock.

As the cornerstones of the wizard system, these two skills began to show gratifying progress with the gradual mastery of Yi Fu's spiritual power control technique.

At first, Luo En encountered many difficulties.

Yi Fu's spiritual power control technique could certainly be called exquisite.

But its operation method was completely different from the thinking mode of traditional wizards, requiring a series of fundamental changes to the spiritual power operation path.

"You need to completely cast aside the traditional wizard's fixed mindset."

The black-haired girl explained this during an exchange of knowledge:

"Do not view spiritual power as a type of energy that needs to be guided through spell models, but view it as a direct extension of your will."

"Just like your arm, you don't need to think about every muscle involved in how to lift your arm; you only need to issue the command to 'lift,' and the body will automatically complete it.

Spiritual power control is the same; once the correct mental framework is established, fine control will become incredibly simple."

Following Yi Fu's guidance, Luo En began to try to reconstruct his own spiritual power operation path.

This was an extremely painful and long process, just like an adult trying to learn to walk again, with every step full of setbacks and confusion.

For the first few days, he couldn't even complete the most basic fine control.

Those controls he thought were precise, in Yi Fu's eyes, were simply like an elephant trying to assemble glass crafts with its trunk.
