Chapter 147: Spiritual Primacy (Thanks to Scary's leader

【Spirit comes first】.

In the blessing, it is in contrast to the [Material Primacy] known as the Pillar of Ruins.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that the relationship between the two is completely incompatible and has never appeared on the same Chosen One.

[Matter is primary] emphasizes that "matter is the fundamental existence of the world, and all spirits must obey matter itself."

The essence of [the primacy of spirit] is to reverse the positions of the two and put spirit before the world.

It denies that the spirit is dependent on objects and emphasizes the priority of the spirit.

The primacy of matter sounds very scientific, but the primacy of spirit is confusing just by hearing the description.

But considering that this is an ascension...it's normal.

You should know that the main purpose of the Ascension and Transformation system is the transcendence of the soul and the detachment of the will. It emphasizes complete subjectivity and has no objectivity at all.

Views and theories such as 'the world was created because of me', 'everything exists in me', 'it's just a fleeting dream, and I become a butterfly', etc. are very common among the chosen ones in the ascension series.

Such an arrogant idea of ​​putting subjectivity above objectivity can only be said to be an entry-level idea. Putting one's own subjectivity above that of others is a technical job.

There are also endless crazy sayings like "I am going to defy heaven today" and "My drill will fucking drill through the sky".

Although it is not objective to say this, but in the two systems that are in charge of the transformation of the soul and the heart hub that is in charge of the mind, mental abnormality is actually quite normal.

Under this premise, the passive blessing of spiritual primacy appears particularly normal and simple compared to other blessings.

In addition to the characteristics of the transformation series - increasing the upper limit of spiritual essence and the recovery speed have been greatly enhanced, it also brings Ji Jue a gradually improved mental resistance and endurance.

Its most important effect is that under certain circumstances, it can ignore the defects and adverse conditions of the material itself to a limited extent, and compensate for them with the consumption of spiritual essence and will, thus achieving the effect.

Simply put, if the conditions are not sufficient, you can make up for it with fighting spirit.

For example, a survivor from a fire, a mother who lifted a car to save her child, a rock climber about to fall off a cliff, a record-breaking athlete being chased by a bear, and a four-hour journey across the country and the mountains to escape from a fraud park...

Although it lacks other blessings, the initial effect is limited. If left alone, at best it can only allow the phone to last from the subway to home with 1% of power...

But it is a noble and growable passive!
There is so much room for exploration.

Just the basic state greatly increased the duration of the mechanical deity, directly doubling it. Ji Jue didn't dare to imagine what surprises would come after the subsequent qualitative change was fully completed and the blessing was upgraded.

Regardless of whether it is the ingenuity of the skill or the priority of the spirit, this kind of blessing in the late game is simply a blessing for the dog. Ji Jue is not afraid of the long experience bar. The longer the experience bar is, the more excited he is, and the more motivated he is to grind, and he is too happy to have time...

Let’s set a small goal first – relying on spirit first, save a few thousand dollars on electricity bills!

Who wouldn’t love a phone that lasts a week on a single charge?
It's really, very morale-boosting!

"Well, since the blessing of the first nature of spirit has come so smoothly, the next stage of practice can begin."

In the workshop, after checking Ji Jue's current condition again, Professor Ye said calmly: "——About the integration and linkage between the blessings."

"Have you ever thought about the development direction of Miaoshou Tiancheng?"

She suddenly asked the question, which surprised Ji Jue a little.

For a moment, I didn't even know how to answer.

After all, time was too short, and he was almost too busy just adapting to the blessing of Miaoshou Tiancheng and gradually trying to expand the effect and boundaries of this blessing.

Up to now, I can only say that I have barely mastered it.

In addition, the speed of advancement was so outrageous that I didn't have time to think about it.

Just like what people often say, there is no strongest weapon, only the strongest person.

Even weapons, with more people using them, have different styles and tendencies, such as hammer dance, which is powerful and heavy, knife, which is light and erratic, like the sword from below, and Naju ascending into the air...

The same goes for blessings. Sometimes, the same blessing can have completely different effects in the hands of different people.

They are both large groups, and they both have the conventional three-piece set of Bloodthirster, Fierce Fighting, and Destroying the Stronghold, plus the ability to strike first. But in Ji Jue's opinion, with the same configuration, Lao Tang can easily kill ten opponents without even taking a breath.

The training level has already been maxed out, and after several qualitative changes in blessings, it may have been upgraded... Even with the same configuration, can the character with 0 life and full life be the same?

In a limited time, if you try to do everything, you will only be poor at everything and will definitely not be able to compare with those who persevere in their expertise.

There are even secret rituals and methods within some factions that can eliminate and abandon some of the effects of the blessing in order to achieve qualitative improvements and growth in other effects.

Of course, there was no need to overdraw on a blessing like Miaoshou Tiancheng, which had such a wide range of applications, but Ji Jue had now reached the point where he had to choose a specialty.

Wild growth will only result in grass growing everywhere, and no towering trees will grow.

Besides, it’s not giving up, it’s just making some choices at the current stage.

But because the scope of application is so wide, when Ji Jue was suddenly asked a question by Professor Ye, he was actually at a loss for a moment.

If his expertise in strength allows him to literally tear steel plates apart with his bare hands, his speed allows him to perform operations at full speed in an instant, and his focus on precision reaches the limit, then maybe one day Ji Jue will be able to use ultra-micromolecular tweezers to pinch out excess protons from mercury and rub gold with his bare hands...but probably no one would be that bored.

And this is just the basic choice itself, and if we talk about the object of operation, it is even more countless, smelting, extraction, ascension, purification, and even the classification of materials... metal, wood, chemical compounds, blood or organs, and even...

"Ectoplasm?"

Instantly, Ji Jue understood from the professor's reminder, and his eyes lit up: "Are you saying that my next practice should focus on spiritual manipulation?"

Professor Ye nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his face.

When you meet a student who has good compatibility and is very perceptive, the experience of being a teacher is so smooth and refreshing. You don't have to give long and cumbersome instructions. The key points are understood at a glance. Now Ji Jue's greatest strength is precisely spiritual manipulation!
Whether it is the blessing brought by non-attack, the purification and dissociation practice of fluid alchemy, or even the effect brought by the primacy of spirit, Ji Jue has already left others far behind in the field of spiritual manipulation.

Not to mention apprentices, even ordinary craftsmen definitely don't have his current level.

With such good conditions, it would be a waste if we don’t catch up and establish advantages along this road!

"But even if it's called focused spiritual manipulation, I don't know how to do it."

Ji Jue sighed: "You don't have to squat in front of the stove and cook it over and over again every day, do you?"

"Need not."

Professor Ye finally smiled slightly, which made Ji Jue instinctively startled.

"I've already prepared everything for you."

She waved her hand, and suddenly a hole appeared in the ceiling of the workshop. With the Ghost Ball's excited shout of "Here comes little brother", a box tumbled out from inside and fell.

It hit right at Ji Jue's feet.

Ji Jue picked it up and opened it, and was stunned for a moment.

It was the size of a palm, round, with average workmanship, mediocre materials, and a terrible assembly... Ji Jue picked it up and looked at it over and over again, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt something was wrong.

This seems, as if, maybe, to be just a very ordinary mechanical pocket watch sold on the street?

"Teacher, do you want a watch?"

Ji Jue was at a loss: "If you need anything, tell me. My mom's family used to make this. If you don't like the brand, I'll make one for you. If it goes wrong even a little bit within a year, I'll twist your head off."

"Not for me."

Professor Ye calmly took the pocket watch from his hand and handed it to him: "This is for you."

The box still had a receipt, twenty-five dollars and eighty cents, and it was delivered yesterday by a delivery person from a pornographic food delivery app, and the label was not even torn off. Ji Jue looked at it again and again, and was sure that it was a useless thing except for being able to run words, and he became more and more confused. Maybe it was something that some old lady made when she was free to take orders to earn money for the family.

What for yourself?
"Use your ability on it." Professor Ye ordered bluntly.

Ji Jue stretched out his hand without hesitation and summoned the deus ex machina.

The spiritual reaction was quite weak, like a candle in the wind. This mass product, which had not been produced with any effort and had no history, could only produce a rigid spiritual reaction at its limit. If he wanted a more agile reaction, Ji Jue would have to inject more spiritual essence into it to cultivate it.

"The spiritual empowerment has been completed." Ji Jue reported.

"Very good." Professor Ye said, "Then, take it out."

"what?"

Ji Jue was stunned and subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to cancel the ability, but he quickly realized that what Professor Ye said was not to cancel the ability, but... take it out?

Put it?

"Which one?" Ji Jue's hand hovered in the air.

"The 'it' you just created."

Professor Ye said: "Take it out from this pocket watch, use your magical hands to manipulate the spiritual essence, and take it out intact without damaging its consciousness in the slightest."

Ji Jue was stunned.

If struck by lightning...

Holding the pocket watch in both hands, he stood there stiffly for a long time, looking at Professor Ye blankly. Professor Ye was also looking at him with a calm expression, without any urging or impatience, just waiting.

Until Ji Jue mustered up the courage and reached out his hand...

There was a slight error in the convergence of the spiritual essence.

Snapped!
The fragile spiritual reaction dissipated in an instant, turning into scattered spiritual essence, which fell into Ji Jue's hands, but it was meaningless. The dull spiritual intelligence in the pocket watch just now had completely disappeared.

But Ji Jue hadn't even started yet.

Haven't had time to touch it yet!

Just a slight leak of his own spiritual fluctuations was enough to completely destroy the spiritual response of the pocket watch.

There was no way. The material of the pocket watch itself was limited. Even if Ji Jue tried his best to construct a sufficiently stable spiritual reaction, it was still too weak due to its inherent deficiencies compared to other objects.

Even if Ji Jue could get the other party to cooperate actively, it would be like a giant picking up a small wrench, disassembling the precision instrument, taking out the core and keeping it intact.

Even, it will disappear with just a breath.

I heard that the smallest mechanical watch in the world has a movement less than 0.2 cm in size and consists of 97 parts.

When disassembling it, craftsmen must use special tools and hold their breath, because just a moment of distraction is enough to lead to irreparable mistakes... Anyway, it sounds pretty awesome, so just take it as it is.

Ji Jue once dreamed of getting one to try, but now, something more troublesome than that appeared in front of him.

He was already starting to run out of ideas.

"This is your next training goal, Ji Jue."

Professor Ye admired his sad expression and said calmly, "Come on."
