Chapter 29: Meditation Breakthrough: [Wizard Apprentice]

The ventilation grille of the confinement room was very small, and only a line of daylight could penetrate.

But for Luo En now, this was enough.

In this stone room of only about ten square meters, there was only a simple wooden bed, a bucket for feces and urine, and a tilted wooden table with one leg missing.

But this simple environment allowed him to focus more on practice.

"It's a good place for quiet cultivation." Luo En smiled self-deprecatingly.

The law enforcement team's management of confined personnel was quite loose, and I don't know if it was because of Huo Huo Erte's secret efforts.

The confinement room had people delivering a fairly sufficient meal on time every day, and even allowed them to keep some personal belongings—of course, these items were strictly checked to ensure they would not bring safety hazards.

Luo En took out Da Lun De's notebook from his bosom and studied it carefully by the dim light.

Now he had a deeper understanding of the conception of sonic spells.

Especially through the insights into "rhythm" during this period, he saw many details he hadn't noticed before.

【Sonic Tremor (Prototype) experience +3】

【Current progress: Sonic Tremor (Prototype 87/100)】

"The key is here..."

He finally understood why Da Lun De fell into a bottleneck in his research.

In fact, the other party's idea of using musical notes to perfect the sonic spell at the beginning was undoubtedly correct, but this process was clearly a long and arduous task.

After hitting the wall repeatedly, the urgency of time made Da Lun De try to use external force to enhance the output of spiritual power.

Because he lost the correct train of thought at the beginning, he went to extremes and caused a tragedy in the end.

Just like the "Corona Breathing Method" imitating the movement of the sun, this sonic spell should also find its own rhythm.

Putting down the notebook, Luo En began his daily meditation.

In this environment isolated from the outside world, his spirit reached unprecedented focus.

【Basic meditation starts】

【Trigger special effect: Extreme focus—this meditation effect increased】

【Basic meditation experience +1】

【Basic meditation experience +1】

【Basic meditation experience +1】

【Current progress: Basic meditation (Entry 93/100)】

In the consciousness space, the basic rune composed of three arcs became more and more clear.

Different from the stiffness in the past, the rune now seemed to carry a certain spiritual rhythm.

Every flow of spiritual power became unusually smooth, as if it had found the most suitable path.

Luo En could feel that he was not far from a breakthrough.

………………

On the penultimate day of the confinement room, Luo En completed his routine morning meditation.

Nearly two weeks of isolation brought his spiritual power improvement to an unprecedented new height.

In this barren and closed environment, it allowed him to focus more on the exploration of the inner world.

When he sank into the consciousness space, the basic rune composed of three arcs had become unusually clear, almost having a substantial feeling.

Every arc was trembling slightly, and every node was emitting soft light.

Luo En could feel that he seemed to be standing at a certain critical point, and only needed a light push to break through that invisible barrier.

He took a deep breath and focused all his attention on the rune.

Unlike the mechanical control in the past, this time, he tried to resonate with the rune and let his consciousness completely merge into it.

At that moment, Luo En suddenly understood—the essence of basic meditation is not to control the rune, but to become the rune.

With this realization, the rune in the consciousness space began to vibrate violently, emitting unprecedented light.

Spiritual power was like a broken dam, surging and galloping.

【Basic meditation breakthrough!】

【Basic meditation experience +1】

【Basic meditation (Entry 99/100) → Basic meditation (Proficient-max)】

【Obtained additional characteristic:

Spiritual flow (When changing to a higher-level meditation method, experience points can be directly retained to the proficient level)】

For basic meditation, it seems that reaching the proficient level is the limit, he felt a little regret in his heart.

But the breakthrough did not stop there. Luo En felt that the spiritual power in his body was undergoing an unprecedented qualitative change.

Those spiritual powers that were originally scattered like sand were now spontaneously reorganizing according to a certain mysterious law, forming a more stable and purer energy structure.

In the consciousness space, streams of light began to gush out from the rune, interweaving into a net in his consciousness world, forming a brand-new spiritual power field.

This change did not only happen internally; Luo En's perception ability was also improving rapidly.

Every detail of the confinement room, and even the faint energy fluctuations outside the wall, were clearly reflected in his perception.

【Spiritual power qualitative change completed】

【Spirit: 1.6 → 2.0】

【Strength level improvement: Knight Attendant → Primary Apprentice】

The spiritual power value crossing the threshold of 2.0 meant that he had officially reached the standard of a primary apprentice.

The change was not just an increase in numbers, but a qualitative leap in strength.

His consciousness became unusually clear, the speed and breadth of his thinking were greatly improved, and even his perception of the outside world became unprecedentedly sharp.

What is even more surprising is that Luo En suddenly discovered that he could feel a kind of unprecedented ability

—Spiritual power was no longer just energy circulating in the body, but could be presented in a wave shape and extend outward, causing substantial influence on living bodies.

Is this the spiritual interference ability that Ma Ge Si used on him that day?

Luo En tentatively released a small strand of spiritual power outward, feeling its flow in the air.

That feeling was wonderful and strange, just as natural as breathing since birth, but full of freshness.

Under his control, spiritual power easily formed a weak interference wave and radiated to the surroundings.

"So that's how it is..."

Luo En whispered to himself. This ability actually didn't need to be deliberately learned, but was an instinct that would naturally be mastered after spiritual power reached a certain level.

Just like infants don't need to specifically learn how to swallow, wizard apprentices will naturally learn how to release spiritual power outward.

The instinctive spiritual interference ability is extremely terrifying for most extraordinary professionals who don't cultivate spiritual power, enough to easily disturb the other party's thinking.

But for opponents who are also apprentices, the specific effect depends on the gap in spiritual power between the two sides.

In the space in front of him, a semi-transparent information panel also floated out automatically at this time:

【Spiritual power reached 2.0√】

【Basic meditation method reached proficient√】

【Unlocked combat profession - Wizard Apprentice (One and a half stars) transfer information】
