Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Hmph, a loss is a loss. I was simply outmatched, but I'll definitely give it my all next time we face off!"

Li Ru's eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit, while Lin Xuan said something very inappropriate at this moment.

"Why not seize the day and do it today?"

The flames burning on Li Ru's body were instantly extinguished as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them.

Do I look stupid?

"No, that's not true. After all, he's a superhuman."

"Even Long Xing isn't a match for you, so why would I challenge you now? Am I just asking for trouble?"

Li Ru was quite self-aware; she knew her strength was inferior to Long Xing's, and in the previous competition at Shanghai University, Lin Xuan had completely crushed Long Xing.

At the same time, Li Ru was also somewhat relieved. Luckily, she wasn't there when Lin Xuan went to Shanghai University, otherwise it wouldn't have been Long Xing who would have been embarrassed...

"Ahem, young people do have a lot in common. Let's do it this way. Xiaoru, you can guide Lin Xuan on the basics of superpowers later."

"I?"

Li Ru stared wide-eyed at herself, completely surprised that Zhang Qiming had called her here to do this kind of thing.

"Well, this is a test for you too."

"Does Lin Xuan also have superpowers?"

Li Ru then asked, somewhat surprised.

"There is some talent involved, and with diligent practice, it's not impossible to achieve something."

Li Ru nodded, which meant she had accepted the task.

"Thank you very much."

Lin Xuan smiled and thanked Li Ru. Then Zhang Qiming led them back to the original room and turned to Lin Xuan to say something.

"The essence of meditation lies in mobilizing one's own vital energy to gently develop brain regions that are normally inaccessible. Humans have an innate disadvantage in this regard. For example, Psychic-type Pokémon, or some Pokémon that are related to Psychic-type, have this part of their brain regions that are naturally open and will be gradually explored as they grow up."

"But we can't do that, or rather, most humans can't do that. We can only rely on persistent and arduous training to barely achieve a similar effect. Even so, the strength of many superpowered individuals may not even be as good as that of a newly born elf."

After Zhang Qiming finished speaking, he shook his head. He could only say that there are gains and losses. In this special field, humans are completely no match for elves.

Zhang Qiming's words suddenly gave Lin Xuan an idea.

"What about Kirlian..."

“It’s different.” Zhang Qiming seemed to know what Lin Xuan was going to say and interrupted her in advance.

"If an ordinary person's brain is a treasure chest that needs a key to open, then the treasure chest of a Psychic-type Pokémon is already opened, even your Kirlia is no exception. Under normal circumstances, you just need to keep taking out the treasures inside. But your Kirlia's situation is..."

Zhang Qiming looked troubled, as if he was finding it difficult to speak.

"So there's nothing in the treasure chest?"

"Ahem, about right, maybe a copper coin at most." Zhang Qiming coughed awkwardly twice. "Let's get back to the meditation."

Lin Xuan nodded, while Li Ru listened attentively. She was already familiar with this content, but she was also eager to know how talented Lin Xuan was in superpowers. If he surpassed even the only thing she could be proud of, it would be hard to accept.

"What I just said was a bit too metaphysical. You can just think of it as the exploration of the outside world by spiritual power, touching the macro world from the microscopic. This is the essence of superpowers. Those powerful superpower users can teleport like Pokémon, or even use superpowers to attack directly. They are just Pokémon in human skin."

Lin Xuan felt a little dizzy listening to this. What was with all this talk about microscopic and macroscopic things? The more they explained it, the more mystical it sounded.

"Can you do that, like teleportation or something?"

"It's barely possible on a small scale, but it's very energy-consuming."

After saying that, superpower fluctuations condensed on the outside of Zhang Qiming's body, covering his entire body, and then he instantly disappeared from the spot.

"That's about it." Lin Xuan was patted on the shoulder, and Zhang Qiming appeared behind him.

"If I work hard in my cultivation, can I achieve that level?"

Seeing the expectant look in Lin Xuan's eyes, Zhang Qiming wiped the sweat from his brow and remained silent for a moment.

"The future is promising, the future is promising."

Then Zhang Qiming didn't answer the question, mainly because he was afraid of hurting Lin Xuan's confidence. Instead, he took two books from a cabinet and handed them to Lin Xuan.

The manual is very thin, probably only a dozen pages long, and it doesn't even have a title on the cover. It's obvious that it has been read by countless people and looks a bit old, but it's well preserved and there's no damage.

"This is about the secrets of meditation. The top one is yours, and the bottom one is for Eevee."

Lin Xuan borrowed the two manuals and asked cautiously.

"Giving it to me so simply, aren't you worried about it getting out?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiming simply smiled slightly.

"The book you're practicing is just the most basic part. If it weren't for the concern that someone would practice it incorrectly, it would have been published long ago. It's not anything special." Then he glanced at the book below.

Practicing superpowers is no easy task, especially for beginners. Without guidance, it's easy to make mistakes, and those who encounter problems are usually highly talented individuals. After all, those without talent simply can't learn it on their own...

"We should try to keep Ibrahimovic's book out of circulation."

"rest assured."

Lin Xuan nodded solemnly in agreement. He knew his limits in this matter. The fact that the other party was willing to lend him such a secret manual meant that, besides valuing him, it was probably also because of Zhong Mingyi's influence.

Then Zhang Qiming began to teach Lin Xuan how to cultivate. The first thing was posture. Zhang Qiming shook his head at Lin Xuan's sitting posture and it took him a long time to adjust it before he could barely meet his standards.

As for the whole process, Xiaodian and Yibu were watching from the sidelines. If they weren't afraid of disturbing Lin Xuan, they would have burst out laughing.

After all, when Lin Xuan is at home, she's either sitting in front of the computer or lying in bed.

"Ibrahimovic, you go train on your own."

Lin Xuan opened one eye and glanced at Ibu. This guy dared to laugh at her.

"Buyi~"

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Eevee had no choice but to turn his gaze away and look at another secret manual. Kirlia also studied it together, but without any results, and couldn't sense any superpowers at all.

Although Xiao Dian doesn't have superpowers, according to Zhang Qiming, learning a little bit of the method of calming the mind and body would be beneficial to him. So Lin Xuan pulled him over to meditate together.

After instructing Lin Xuan for a while, Zhang Qiming left. As the dojo master, he was very busy, and it was already rare for him to spend so much time on Lin Xuan. But before leaving, he told Li Ru that if Lin Xuan had any questions, he should teach him.

"Do not worry."

Li Ru was also sitting cross-legged opposite Lin Xuan. After hearing Zhang Qiming's words, she opened her eyes and nodded, and then continued to meditate, but still kept some of her attention on Lin Xuan.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The next day

"That's about enough, everyone take a break."

This room seemed to be where Zhang Qiming usually taught the apprentices in the dojo. At his command, the apprentices around him stood up and began to stretch their limbs.

"It's quite impressive that you were able to meditate for so long on your first time."

Li Ru, who was sitting not far from Lin Xuan, was also somewhat surprised by Lin Xuan's performance. She never expected that he could actually practice for a whole morning just like the other students in the dojo. She originally thought that he would not be able to keep going halfway through.

Moreover, meditation is not the same as sleeping. Although it is a state of relaxation, you still need to maintain concentration.

"Of course, who am I?"

Lin Xuan braced his hands on the ground, seemingly trying to stand up, but with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, he carefully put his hands back down.

"Buyi"

Eevee put down the secret manual in its hand and quietly approached Lin Xuan. After meditating for a while, Little Point got bored and went to sleep in its Poké Ball. Kirlia, on the other hand, was very persistent and was still sitting next to Lin Xuan.

Eevee crouched down and quietly approached Lin Xuan, a sly smile playing on his lips. He probably guessed what state Lin Xuan was in.

His legs are numb! He can't even stand up, but he's still so proud.

In fact, Li Ru was the same. After all, everyone had gone through this stage and had seen Ibrahimovic's actions, but she didn't give any warnings.

Lin Xuan, unaware of the approaching danger, pretended nothing was wrong and moved her legs around as if nothing was happening. Any slight movement would cause her endless soreness.

"I have to say, I definitely feel much more energetic after meditating like this..."

While Lin Xuan was still talking to Li Ru, Ibu had already raised its little paw at his feet and then slammed it down.

"hiss!"

Lin Xuan suddenly turned her head to look at Ibu, and almost jumped up from the spot.

"Ibrahimovic! You're dead!"

The moment Lin Xuan noticed him, Eevee ran behind Kirlia, who was not far away, and even made two faces at Lin Xuan to mock him, taking advantage of the fact that Lin Xuan couldn't get up right now.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath to calm herself down, then slowly smiled at Eevee, but the smile seemed a little strange to Eevee.

"You seem to have forgotten one thing: I registered your game account."

"Booey!!!"

Ibrahimovic: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Chapter 222 Is Ibrahimovic finally getting a brain?

Although it was in the dojo, almost nothing had changed for Lin Xuan. The time he used to spend watching videos and finding materials had been turned into training. Zhang Qiming had also arranged a temporary room for him in the dojo. Although it wasn't as luxurious as a hotel, it was quite good from the perspective of a dormitory.

It's mainly for convenience. After all, according to Zhang Qiming's requirements, superpowered apprentices must start their training early every morning, which also affects Eevee and the others, who have to get up early with Lin Xuan.
