379: Chapter 351: You Don’t Understand the 5th Power Level (2/3) 379: Chapter 351: You Don’t Understand the 5th Power Level (2/3) This was the result Ian had co to over the past few days, based on the experiences taught by Teacher Hiliad and Master Gossay.
In the Terra World, even the re knowledge of knowledge, without utilizing it, could generate sufficient power.
Wisdom itself was the spark of power, driving the birth of the soul.
“The dinsion of thought for the Nobles, the angle from which they view the world, in a sense, tempers their spirit, making it easier for them to generate a soul.”
“This is why they easily achieve the Second Power Level.”
Having said this, Ian shared his experience with his two core mbers, “However, although it sounds simple, it is actually very difficult.”
“There is a big difference between having read a book and having looked at the words on a book.”
“It’s a world apart to learn the thod of mastering knowledge or simply to master a ‘ritual of the Sacrificial Rite’.”
“This is also why among so many Scholars, few are Sublimators.”
“So that’s it…
No wonder you always tell to read more, Ian…” Scott’s eyes widened, and even the tallic line on his face seed to stretch.
He realized, “I thought you were too smart and didn’t like talking to stupid people… that’s why you insisted I read books…”
Ian found it hard to respond to such comnts.
In contrast, Green Tide fell silent.
He sank into thought.
“So that’s how it is…”
The Swordsman muttered to himself, “No wonder the school fees are so expensive…
No wonder…”
“I understand now.”
Green Tide looked up, the Swordsman stood up seriously and bowed to Ian: “I will study.”
“I hope you do as you say.”
With a slight nod, this was exactly the effect Ian wanted.
As Terra People who were perfectly reford by the pre-era civilization, even if the Nobles had family Bloodline, they could not necessarily completely surpass the Ordinary Terra civilians in terms of Bloodline.
Therefore, they chose to monopolize knowledge.
They monopolized whether souls existed or not.
Honestly, it was only when he understood this key point that Ian could realize what a grand undertaking Inega II and his teachers had embarked on with ‘universal education’ back in the day.
— What they were breaking was precisely the path controlled by the Nobles, leading to the Second Power Level.
They wanted to endow everyone not only with knowledge but also with souls!
Ian had Ian and Scott co over this ti mainly in hopes that Green Tide would train Scott’s combat skills and physical fitness.
Conversely, he also wanted Scott to read books with Green Tide.
By the way, to let the two, who would definitely need to collaborate frequently in the future, get to know each other.
It wasn’t that Green Tide was illiterate; he could in fact read and write.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to understand the swordsmanship charts left by his father, nor would he be able to write ho to report his safety.
However, simply being literate and possessing knowledge, cultivating an effective scientific mode of thought, are actually two separate matters.
Even on Earth in his previous life, Ian knew of a large number of people who rely regarded science and technology as a substitute for so kind of witchcraft religion, without the corresponding intellectual spirit.
Scott’s progress wasn’t very fast, but for that very reason, he was more suitable than Ian to start with Green Tide.
Because, in fact, the Iron Folk had it right in one remark.
Ian indeed lacked the patience to do such basic introductory guidance.
Afterward, Ian gave them a few more instructions, such as to pay attention to the progress of the Labyrinth’s Exploration.
Next, Green Tide and Scott left the church in succession, and Ian also planned to leave.
His visit this ti was not only to et with Green Tide and Scott, but he also agreed with Bishop White Mist to have Elan co to the Huai Guang Church for training—starting from tomorrow, the little boy would beco an Apprentice of Embrace Light.
This progress was even faster than Elan’s in the Worm Nest path.
After all, in that path of destiny, Elan beca a disciple of Bishop White Mist only after Elder Prude had passed away.
However, just as Ian was about to leave, a white-haired elder silently appeared by the young man’s side.
“Bishop?”
Ian turned his head, looking at the elder with so confusion: “Did you ask for for a reason?
Or were there so details about Elan’s training plan that…”
“No.”
The elder replied decisively, but after pondering for a mont, he continued, “I am only a witness.”
“Ian, I am simply representing Huai Guang Church to witness your growth, choices, actions, and your eventual…”
“Outco.”
“Witness?
Outco?” The elder’s tone was very slow, but the young man felt sowhat unable to understand the other’s words, hence confusion arose in his heart.
From the very beginning, the White Mist Bishop had been by his side, Ian knew this, and he never thought he could keep anything from the other in the church.
It was still better than any other place in Harrison Port.
If the White Mist Bishop was ‘theoretically’ impossible to tell Viscount Grant about this matter, then discussing it elsewhere, the likelihood of Viscount Grant knowing about it would be one hundred percent.
But what he had not expected was that the other party was not indifferent.
But deliberately ‘witnessing’ his choices and actions…
“Why?”
The youth frowned deeply, feeling an inexplicable unease.
This unease was not because he was being monitored, or rather, spied upon, but stemd from an even more innate bewildernt: “There’s no need…
Even though I am Teacher Hiliad’s apprentice, I am currently still only at the First Energy Level…”
“Is that so?”
The bishop’s eyes flickered as he earnestly replied, “Ian, are you really ‘only’ at the First Energy Level, or are you ‘deliberately suppressing’ yourself to stay at the First Energy Level?”
“You have already t all the conditions.
If you had rely wished to reach the Second Energy Level, to possess the ability to traverse the continent, you might have long since been able to find resources through various ans and beco Second Energy Level.”
“But you would not.
Because you have greater ambition, and you are not rely satisfied with the Second Energy Level.
Your goal is the sa ‘Fifth Energy Level’ as the First Knight.”
As he said this, a ring of white Spirit Energy luminescence shone in the elder’s eyes.
He said softly, “Even higher.”
“So you remain here, searching for the path to a more distant future.”
“I just know that advancing to the Second Energy Level too soon brings no benefits.
Rather than hastily revealing flaws, it’s better to wait for the right mont, to act when the ti is right.”
Ian heightened his vigilance.
He had long since noticed sothing off about the White Mist Bishop — the other could use various types of Spirit Energy through the Light of Huai Guang, and every ti he used this white luminescent Spirit Energy, the bishop’s tone of voice, speaking style, and even thought patterns would change.
But that wasn’t because another soul was using the White Mist Bishop as an interdiary to communicate with him…
Ian felt that it was more like the White Mist Bishop was revealing a more authentic self.
More essentially, without any desire or bias, just purely following so sort of principle as a way to deal with things, the ‘real White Mist Bishop’.
Therefore, he chose his words carefully, slowly saying, “So why witness ?
May I know the reason?”
“As I previously told you.”
The elder replied swiftly: “Because you can progress to the Fifth Energy Level.
You have the potential, a very high possibility of progressing to the Fifth Energy Level, even breaking through above it.”
“Like your teacher before you, who could open the path upward.”
Ian was taken aback, “…That’s it?”
White Mist Bishop: “Isn’t that enough?”
Ian curled his lip, to tell the truth, he had never thought he wouldn’t be able to break through the Fifth Energy Level — perhaps he hadn’t shown it much on the surface, but when it ca to confidence, he truly never felt himself inferior to anyone.
And really, how powerful is the Fifth Energy Level?
He vaguely rembered that his teacher had only demolished half of the Imperial Capital back then.
Although the Ice Prison Calamity Ash epidemic was a factor, regardless of how much it’s glorified, it couldn’t be that overstated, could it?
“Your confidence indeed has its reasons, and it is not exaggerated.”
The White Mist Bishop could see Ian’s transparent attitude and confidence; he did not deny it but nodded seriously: “It’s just that you might still not quite understand.”
“I indeed do not understand.” The youth admitted candidly: “But what exactly do I not understand?”
“Ian, you do not understand what the Fifth Energy Level represents.”
