It's possible to practice magic this way, right?

Lin Li replied: "That's why I want to ask you. I know nothing about magicians."

"Then let me explain it to you briefly. After awakening, a magician can transform magic power into mental power through meditation, and then use mental power to expand his spiritual sea. The level of a magician depends on the strength of his mental power and the size of his spiritual sea. The larger the spiritual sea, the greater your perception range. The stronger your mental power, the stronger your control ability."

"The biggest difference between a warrior and a mage is that a warrior uses magic power to drive elements to cooperate with battle patterns to release combat skills. A mage directly uses mental power to drive elements to form magic patterns to release magic."

Lin Li was a little confused. "What about magic power? Doesn't magic require magic power?"

"Isn't magic power converted into mental power? Magicians have always believed that mental power is a higher level of magic power, or high-level magic power. After all, mental power is converted from magic power."

Phil said: "My teacher and I believe that magic is a complex mixed energy, and spiritual power is only one of them. Meditation is just to extract the spiritual power from magic."

"She's talking heresy, Lin Li, don't listen to her. Mental power is an advanced version of magic power. No matter how much magic power you have, it cannot control the elements to form a lowest-level magic pattern, nor can it cast a spell. But the converted mental power can." Marshall strongly disagreed with Phil's opinion.

"Tsk, you are a magician who deliberately belittles other professions so that others know that you are superior to others."

"Do magicians need to deliberately belittle others? The nobility of magicians is recognized by all races." Marshall was quite persistent in his point of view.

"Then you, the upper energy faction, should put aside your arrogance and look carefully at the true nature of magic power. The noble spiritual power you speak of cannot help the body in the slightest, but magic power can strengthen the body and allow ordinary people to have powerful strength."

Lin Li was confused. What was going on? Why did these two suddenly start arguing?

Steven shook his head helplessly and said to Lin Li, "Don't worry about the two of them. They have been arguing for so many times. Nowadays, magicians are mainly divided into two factions, one is the higher energy theory, and the other is the mixed energy theory. Each has its own reason, and no one can convince the other."

Lin Li asked curiously: "What is this magician?"

"Magicians are a group of people who specialize in studying magic. They basically don't focus on the practical combat capabilities of magic, but are more concerned with the innovation and application of magic."

"In recent years, there have been a lot of new magic daily necessities, all made by those people."

"Magic daily necessities?"

"Well, for example, magic refrigerators, magic air conditioners, and magic stoves. These things are quite popular in the imperial capital."

Damn, this is the Industrial Revolution. No, it's the Magic Revolution. It seems that Lin Li's hometown is really too remote, and no one has ever heard of it.

Marshall and Phil glared at each other, neither willing to give in.

Steven said, "You two should stop arguing and start teaching Lin Li how to meditate."

"I'll teach you," Marshall and Phil replied at the same time.

"Can meditation be taught casually?" Lin Li asked.

Phil answered Lin Li's question first. "Every magician is a valuable talent. In the past, when there were no magic schools, the Magic Association stipulated that if they encountered a magic apprentice who had just awakened and had no one to teach him, they must unconditionally help the newcomer embark on the path of magic practice."

"I will now teach you the most basic meditation method of the Hybrid Energy School."

"Wait, Lin Li is not only a magician but also a warrior. He should learn the meditation method of the higher energy school from me."

Lin Li was really confused this time. "Is there any difference in this mental power?"

Marshall said, "Of course there is a difference, but it's hard to tell. Generally speaking, the magic released by the spiritual power transformed by our higher energy meditation method is more powerful. It also improves the power of the warriors' combat skills."

"Do you think Lin Li's fighting skills are not powerful enough? He should learn the meditation method of our mixed energy school, so that he can control the fighting skills and magic he releases more precisely."

"Who would complain about the power of their magic and fighting skills? Isn't the bigger the better?"

"If the power is too great but you can't control it and can't hit the target, it's useless. Precise control can effectively increase the hit rate."

Lin Li looked at the two people who were arguing again, and his head was a little heavy. But he understood the difference between the two kinds of mental power, one with great power and the other with strong control. Lin Li looked at Steven helplessly, hoping that Steven could persuade them to stop arguing.

"Come on, be quiet. I'm injured and need a quiet rest." Lida couldn't stand it anymore and stopped them from arguing.

Marshall and Phil immediately stopped talking and started glaring at each other again.

"Two seniors, how about you teach me the meditation method first, and then I can try it myself to see which one is more suitable for me. That should be fine, right?"

"Phil, you are a lady. Ladies come first. We men should give way to ladies, don't you think so, Marshall?"

"Okay, let her go first."

The two finally stopped arguing. Lin Li asked them about meditation.

Phil first taught Lin Li the meditation method. In order to prevent the two of them from continuing to quarrel, Lin Li did not try meditation directly, but asked Marshall for his meditation method.

Lin Li listened to the methods they taught very carefully, repeatedly confirmed in his mind that he had memorized them, and compared the differences between the two methods. Of course, with Lin Li's current knowledge, it was impossible to tell the difference between the two.

Lin Li asked: "Which of these two meditation methods can gain more spiritual power when using the same amount of magic power?"

This time it was Phil who responded: "Almost the same. Basically there is not much difference."

Lin Li asked again, "Is there any difference between the spiritual power obtained by these two methods?"

Phil replied, "At least the mages nowadays can't tell the difference. Power and control can only be improved little by little through years of meditation. It's also possible to use the two methods alternately. Many mages do this. It can increase both power and control, but the effect is not as strong as using only one method."

"You can't tell the difference between the two mental powers?"

"Not at all."

Lin Li did not continue to ask. If so many magicians could not figure it out, he could not figure it out. Since he already had the meditation method, he might as well try it himself first.

However, Lin Li had one last question, so he asked, "Why do we need to let our mental power form a vortex after awakening?"

Phil replied: "The vortex can concentrate the mental power. If the mental power is completely dispersed, the person will become a fool, and in serious cases, he will become a vegetable. In addition, the vortex can attract magic power into the mental sea. So remember not to let the mental power be completely used up."

Lin Li said: "Two seniors, I'd better try it first to see which one is more suitable for me."
