The Flaws of the Meditation Method

He couldn't rush studying.

The only way Dave could think of was to go to the Apprentice Market, but it was best not to go beyond the 30th floor.

He could only wait until tomorrow after class and ask Andre to see if there was a way.

However, with that fellow's personality… He might have to pour out some magic stones.

..

Through the porthole on the 22nd floor, one could still feel the red moonlight shining through the window.

Dave was sitting on the porthole, breathing slowly and quietly, immersed in the unique rhythm of meditation.

However, when he was halfway through the meditation technique, he broke out of this state.

Dave slowly opened his eyes.

"Why do I feel that my meditation has been going against my will recently? Why is it so difficult to increase the last 5%?"

He could not help but feel a sense of defeat.

In the past, if he meditated normally, his progress would increase by 1% every three to four days.

This number was actually equivalent to the data of his "cultivation progress".

But now, it had been a few days since the progress had reached 95%, and this number had not changed much.

In the academy, a normal level 3 acolyte would be promoted to a level 2 acolyte within two to three years.

Those with better talent would advance in a year to a year and a half. Although it was rare, it was considered normal.

Dave reached 90 in less than a year. He thought he was one of the better-talented ones. But he was stuck on the last 5 percent for so long. 

Recently, he had clearly felt that something was wrong when he was meditating. The runes condensed from aether were originally fine, but when he went to construct the moon ring, they suddenly collapsed.

Sometimes, when he started meditating, he would find that some of the parts he had previously constructed on the gaps in the moon ring had fallen apart at some point.

In other words, the progress that he had painstakingly improved had been nulled.

Dave had thought that it was a normal situation.

But now, he felt that something was wrong.

"Could it be that there's a problem with my understanding of meditation techniques?"

Dave started to doubt himself.

There shouldn't be any problems with the meditation technique. He was using the Moon Ring Meditation Technique, which was a relatively common meditation technique.

There should be quite a few acolytes in the academy who used the same meditation technique as him, and he didn't see many people with the same problem.

Perhaps there was a problem with his meditation method?

At this moment, a line of words suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Methods to Correct the Three Flaws of the Moon Ring Meditation Method. Required Discipline Level: None.]

[Points required: 80 points.]

Dave's pupils constricted.

He wasn't shocked by the sudden System Inspiration.

Was there really a flaw in the Moon Ring Meditation Technique?

However, this meditation technique was provided by the academy…Moreover, so many acolytes had been using this meditation technique to advance successfully…

Dave hesitated for a moment, but he still chose to employ the system.

The situation outside was currently unknown, and he had been stuck on the meditation technique. This was a problem he had to solve.

Moreover, the meditation technique was something that was related to the core of a Mage's power. There were actually three flaws… How could he tolerate that?

80 points were spent, and the words in front of him changed.

" 80 points used."

[Ways to Correct the Three Flaws of the Moon Ring Meditation Technique is being sent to you...]

"Send? There's no computer here. How are you going to send me…"

Just as Dave thought of that, a warm current suddenly blew up from his back to his head.

Dave felt his head swell and a huge amount of information exploded in his mind.

Dave slowly opened his eyes and absorbed all the information. Although he tried to keep calm, he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.

"So that's how it is. The Moon Ring Meditation Form really does have such a flaw!

"So…I've always been using the wrong meditation technique!

"These 80 points are really worth it!"

According to the basic theory of the Moon Ring Meditation Method, it was to absorb aether and use it to condense runes to form the Moon Ring.

As the number of moon rings increased, the acolytes' abilities would also increase.

If one formed a moon ring, they would become a level 3 acolyte; If one formed three moon rings, they would become a level 2 acolyte; If one formed nine moon rings, they would become a level 1 acolyte.

As the number of moon rings increased, the difficulty of condensing them would also increase.

The original Moon Ring Meditation Technique had three independent Moon Rings.

The three moon rings existed in Dave's mind without interfering with each other.

Although this was helpful for the first two Moon Rings, it also caused the formation of the third Moon Ring to be greatly affected by the first two Moon Rings.

This was the reason why the runes he condensed would always collapse for no reason.

This was also the biggest flaw of the Moon Ring Meditation Technique that the academy had given him!

In order to eliminate this influence, all the moon rings needed to be intertwined in a unique geometric form according to a special method, which was to " string " them together.

It was something that Dave had never learned from the Moon Ring Meditation he had taught in the academy.

" It seems like if I were to follow the academy's meditation technique, the last few steps of breaking through would be extremely difficult…

"Moreover, if the moon ring is formed in this form, once the mind is shaken, there is a risk that the moon ring will collapse.

"Did the academy never realize that there was a problem here?"

Dave sensed something was wrong.

The impression the academy had given him was neither good nor bad.

There were reclusive wizards who were obsessed with their own research, and there were also warm-hearted mages like Mrs. Izu who were willing to teach the apprentices.

But overall, Dave approved of the school's willingness to teach apprentices for free.

According to his understanding of the Mages, the leader of the academy must be an idealist to be able to establish the academy in its current form.

However, since even a basic meditation technique had such a huge loophole, or rather, a flaw…

"Perhaps no Mages have discovered it.

"After all, back then, the apprentices were given dozens of basic meditation techniques to choose from."

Dave could only make a guess.

After all, although this flaw had a significant impact, it was only a matter of time before he advanced with more effort and time.

Perhaps no one had discovered it?

Next, Dave adjusted the position of the moon ring in his mind.

This required a hole to be made in the condensed lunar ring and then connected together according to a special geometric pattern.

It wasn't a complicated process. Dave estimated that he would be able to 'place' his moon rings in the correct shape in a few days' time.
