High Above

This is the result of Ian's thinking in the past few days based on the experience taught by Hilliard and Master Gosser.

In the world of Terra, even purely knowing knowledge without using it can generate enough power.

Wisdom itself is the kindling of power, urging the birth of the soul.

"The dimensions of the nobles' thinking and the angle of viewing the world, in a sense, are tempering their spirits, making it easier for them to generate souls."

"That's why they are prone to a second energy level."

Having said that, Ian told his two teammates about his experience: "However, although it sounds simple, it is very difficult to do."

"There is still a big difference between reading a book and reading the words in a book."

"Whether you have learned the method of mastering knowledge, or just mastered a kind of 'sacrifice ritual', it is a world of difference."

"This is why there are not many sublimators among so many scholars."

"I see... No wonder Ian, you always want me to read more..." Scott opened his eyes wide, and even the metal lines on his face were stretched.

He suddenly said: "I thought you were too smart and didn't like talking to stupid people... That's why I insisted on studying..."

It was difficult for Ian to answer such words.

In contrast, Qing Chao fell silent.

He was lost in thought.

"I see……"

The swordsman murmured to himself: "No wonder the school's tuition is so expensive... No wonder..."

"I see."

Qing Chao raised his head, and the swordsman stood up seriously, bowing to Ian: "I will learn."

"I hope you can do what you say."

Nodding slightly, this is exactly the effect Ian wanted.

As Terrans whose members are all perfect transformations of pre-era civilizations, even nobles with family blood may not be able to completely surpass ordinary Terran civilians in terms of bloodlines.

So, they choose to monopolize knowledge.

Monopoly on the presence or absence of souls.

To be honest, it was only when I knew this point that Ian could understand what a grand undertaking the 'universal education' that Inaiga II and the teacher were doing back then was doing.

——What they want to break is the path to the second energy level controlled by the nobles.

They not only want to give everyone knowledge, but also give everyone soul!

Ian asked Ian and Scott to come over this time mainly because he hoped that Qingchao could exercise Scott's fighting skills and physical fitness.

In contrast, let Scott read books with Qing Chao.

By the way, let the two people who will definitely cooperate frequently in the future get to know each other.

Qingchao said he was uneducated, but he was actually able to read and write.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to understand the sword skills catalog left by his father, and he wouldn't write a letter to his family to report his safety on weekdays.

However, simple literacy, knowing knowledge and cultivating a scientific and effective thinking mode are actually two different things.

Even on Earth in his previous life, Ian knew a large number of people who only regarded science and technology as a substitute for some kind of witchcraft religion, without the corresponding thinking spirit.

Scott's progress is not too fast, but because of this, Bien is suitable to start with Qingchao.

Because, in fact, Iron Man was right.

Ian really has no patience to do such a rudimentary introductory guide.

After that, Ian gave some instructions, such as asking the two to pay attention to the progress of the maze.

Next, Qingchao and Scott left the church one by one, and Ian also planned to leave.

When he came this time, in addition to meeting Qingchao and Scott, he also negotiated with Bishop Baiwu to let Elan come to Huaiguang Church to receive training—from tomorrow, the little boy will become a Huaiguang disciple up.

This progress is even faster than Elan in the Nest Road.

After all, in that path of destiny, Elan became a disciple of Bishop Baiwu only after the death of Elder Pude.

However, just before Ian left, an old man with white hair quietly appeared beside the boy.

"bishop?"

Ian turned his head, and he looked at the old man with some doubts: "Please ask me for anything? Or are there any details about Elan's training plan before..."

"No."

He answered decisively, but after thinking for a while, the old man continued, "I'm just a witness."

"Ian, I am just representing Huaiguang Church, witnessing your growth, choice, actions, and finally..."

"ending."

"Witness? The ending?" The old man's tone was very slow, but the young man couldn't understand the other party's words, so he was puzzled.

From the very beginning, Bishop Baiwu was by his side. Ian knew all about it, and he never thought that he could hide it from him in the church.

Better than other places in Port Harrison.

If it is said that it is 'in theory' impossible for Bishop Baiwu to tell Viscount Grant about this matter, then in other discussions, it is 100% possible that Viscount Grant knew about this matter.

However, he did not expect that the other party was not indifferent.

Instead, he deliberately 'witnessed' his choices and actions...

"Why?"

The young man frowned, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

This uneasiness is not because of being watched, or being spied on, but because of a more instinctive puzzlement: "It's not necessary... Even though I am a disciple of Teacher Hilliard, but, Now it's just the first energy level..."

"Yeah."

His eyes flickered, and Bishop Baiwu seriously replied: "Ian, are you really 'only' the first energy level, instead of 'deliberately suppressing yourself' at the first energy level?"

"You have already met all the conditions. If you just want to become the second energy level and have the ability to travel the continent, maybe you can already obtain resources through various means to make yourself a second energy level."

"But you won't. Because you have greater ambitions, you are not just satisfied with the second energy level, your goal is the same 'fifth energy level' as the first knight."

Speaking of this, a circle of white psionic fluorescence lit up in the old man's eyes.

He said lightly: "Even higher."

"So stay here and find your way to a farther future."

"I just know that it is not good to advance to the second energy level too early. Instead of revealing flaws in a hurry, it is better to wait for the opportunity and follow the trend."

Ian raised his vigilance in his heart. He had already noticed that the state of Bishop Baiwu was not right-the other party could use a variety of spiritual powers through the light of Huaiguang, and every time he used this white fluorescent power, Bai Wu The bishop's tone, speaking style, and even thought patterns change.

But that doesn't mean that another soul uses Bishop Baiwu as an intermediary to communicate with himself... Ian feels that it is more like Bishop Baiwu showing a more authentic self.

More essentially, without the slightest desire, without the slightest inclination, just purely obeying a certain code as the way of doing things, the "true Bishop of White Mist".

So, he considered his words and said slowly: "So, why do you want to witness me? Can I know the reason?"

"As I told you before."

The old man quickly replied: "Because you can advance to the fifth energy level. You have potential, and there is a great possibility that you can advance to the fifth energy level, and even break through."

"Just like your teacher, you can open up the way to the next level."

Ian froze for a moment: "...That's it?"

Bishop Baiwu: "Isn't that enough?"

Ian curled his lips. To be honest, he never thought that he couldn't break through the fifth energy level—maybe he didn't show it on the surface, but in fact, when it comes to self-confidence, he never loses to anyone.

Also, is the fifth energy level really strong? He vaguely remembered that his teacher had only demolished half of the imperial capital back then.

Although there is the reason of the epidemic poison of the ashes of the ice prison, no matter how exaggerated it is, it will not be too exaggerated, right?

"Your confidence does have its reasons, and it's not exaggerated."

Bishop Baiwu could see Ian's undisguised attitude and confidence. He didn't deny it, but nodded seriously: "It's just that you still don't understand."

"I really don't understand." The young man said calmly, "But what exactly do I not understand?"

"Ian, you don't understand what the fifth energy level represents."
