Taiji Diagram
"May I ask this young man, what is the Dao?"
The old man looked at Lin Mu with a faint smile on his lips.
Lin Mu pondered for a moment. He had read some Daoist theories in his previous life and had some understanding of Daoist practices.
"The Dao is the root of all things, encompassing the vastness of the universe and the minuteness of a falling dust; it is omnipresent and ever-present!" Lin Mu said slowly.
The old man's smile deepened.
"That's interesting. The Dao divides into Yin and Yang. What are Yin and Yang?"
"Yin and Yang are the two sides of the Dao, opposing each other yet interdependent, like the alternation of light and darkness! Yin and Yang are the derivatives of the Dao and the fundamental source of all things. Yang is active while Yin is still, Yang is clear while Yin is turbid, they wax and wane in an endless cycle..." Lin Mu pondered for a moment and then slowly said.
The old man nodded slightly, very satisfied with Lin Mu's words.
His figure gradually materialized, and a huge Taiji Diagram appeared before Lin Mu.
"The Tao divides into Yin and Yang, which give rise to all things. All things in the world are divided into Yin and Yang. I wonder what you can comprehend from this Taiji Diagram?"
His voice drifted over slowly.
Lin Mu gazed at the Taiji Diagram before him.
This Taiji Diagram looks very mysterious, with many rules inside.
It is no exaggeration to say that everything in the world seems to be hidden within the Taiji Diagram.
As Lin Mu examined the Taiji Diagram, he could feel his Divine Soul being rapidly depleted.
It's much more powerful than when I first comprehended the patterns.
Time passed slowly, and half an hour later, Lin Mu felt dizzy.
The Taiji Diagram in front of him was extremely profound, and even after spending so much time, he still couldn't figure it out.
"It's not that I haven't figured anything out, it's just that there's too much content and I don't know where to start!" Lin Mu thought to himself.
It's like a high school student who has just started high school, and someone puts all the math formulas in front of him.
These formulas contain hidden patterns, yet they don't tell high school students where to begin learning them.
Lin Mu closed his eyes slightly, and a system voice came at that moment.
"Complete a Taiji Enlightenment session and gain 314 times the efficiency."
A flood of memories rushed into his mind.
Lin Mu gained a deeper understanding of the Taiji Diagram before him.
He sorted through a lot of information.
After a long while, he finally opened his eyes.
For anyone, a single instance of understanding is not very effective because these things are too difficult.
But after hundreds or thousands of times, even a fool could see some differences.
"Interesting!" A smile appeared on Lin Mu's lips as he consumed the supplies, his Divine Soul Power gradually recovering.
Half an hour later, Lin Mu had fully recovered and was once again studying the Taiji Diagram.
This time, his body shimmered with a golden light.
This is a scene for understanding the basics of the Taiji Diagram.
You should know that this Taiji Diagram contains the truth of all things in the world.
Once fully comprehended, it can not only improve a martial artist's martial arts skills but also enhance their methods for tempering their Divine Soul.
Because Tai Chi gives birth to all things, Yin-Yang Poles, which is the origin of many martial arts.
Those who were observing Lin Mu from the outside also showed expressions of shock.
If Lin Mu's performance in the previous hour was unremarkable in their eyes, then...
Now, it is undoubtedly eye-catching.
Because the Taiji Diagram is very profound.
Many people spend days and nights without ever getting the hang of it.
Lin Mu only spent an hour.
This level of skill has already broken many people's records.
"His talent in the realm of the Divine Soul is truly astonishing!" someone in the Calculation Room said.
"If he can refine his Blood Qi and Source Force in the future, then he has the potential to reach S+."
"I wonder what the vice principal thinks of him!"
"..."
On the other side, in the vice principal's office.
Ji Xi and Ji Shiyao were looking at the Computer screen when they saw the faint golden light on Lin Mu's body.
They knew very well that Lin Mu had already mastered the skill.
One hour to learn the basics of the Taiji Diagram.
Such a level of skill is indeed rare.
Even Ji Shiyao herself couldn't do that back then.
"His mastery of the Divine Soul is indeed impressive, but the Void Probing Secret Realm is more about honing one's Blood Qi. I still think his development in martial arts is not as good as my sister's!" Ji Shiyao said somewhat arrogantly.
Ji Xi smiled slightly but didn't say much.
They continued to watch.
Ji Xi brewed the tea, unhurriedly.
As Lin Mu gained insight into it...
Ji Shiyao was initially somewhat unconvinced, was now filled with shock in her eyes.
Because time inside the Sub-Tower is different from time outside.
Three days inside, one day outside.
So they didn't watch it for that long.
Based on the time calculation inside the Sub-Tower.
Lin Mu mastered the basics in one hour.
He grasped the Source of Yin Yang in three hours.
He grasped the True Meaning of Taiji in seven hours.
The Formation was broken in twelve hours, gaining the approval of the Array Spirit.
These results are truly astonishing even within the entire Sacred Origin Martial School.
If Lin Mu comprehended the Six Source Patterns in just a few hours, they would think that Lin Mu had a strong Divine Soul Talent and would surely achieve great things in the future.
Now, they have come to a profound understanding of just how terrifying Lin Mu's Divine Soul Talent is.
This is definitely not something an ordinary Divine Soul Genius could do.
In the history of the Sorcerer Alliance, only a dozen or so people have reached this level.
Each of those dozen or so people was an extremely impressive individual.
Even someone as famous as Ji Xi was suppressed by them.
Ji Shiyao stared at the Computer screen, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment. She couldn't believe that someone could have such talent in the realm of the Divine Soul.
"His comprehension is terrifying!" Ji Shiyao said, her mind still unsettled.
"Perhaps that's why Chen Youcai chose him!" Ji Xi said.
His finger tapped a key on the keyboard, and the original S Rating changed to S+.
Lin Mu's performance fully deserves this rating.
"Once he leaves the Sub-Tower, remember to bring him to the Sorcerer Alliance. I have a feeling that this person will surpass all the geniuses in the alliance in the future!" Ji Xi said.
Ji Shiyao pouted, still feeling somewhat unconvinced.
Lin Mu is indeed outstanding.
But talent is not the end.
Many people are incredibly talented, but due to a lack of opportunity, resources, and their own personality, they never reach the top.
Throughout human history, there has never been a shortage of geniuses.
However, many geniuses do not achieve ideal results in the end.
On the contrary, some people with average talent eventually reached the ninth level.
It's like someone who has excellent grades since childhood and works very hard in society, but comes from a humble background, so even if they try their best, they can only earn a million a year.
Some people, though not academically gifted, have good opportunities and are willing to work hard, and after more than ten years, they become wealthy bosses with assets exceeding 100 million.
Lin Mu is performing very well at the moment, but he may not be able to advance to the Fifth Order mage. He will still have to rely on his hard work and opportunities later on.
But they didn't know that Lin Mu was different from the geniuses they knew.
With a system at his disposal, he rises rapidly through the ranks; how could his future achievements be determined by mere talent?
