After returning to the East Peak Military Academy, Lin Yi's life entered a new rhythm.
He would still appear in the big classroom, analyzing source energy theory and answering questions for the students, but what reflected in those deep eyes was more of the trajectory of invisible rules.
He devoted most of his attention to exploring the rules.
Helu City As a coastal city, the boundless sea has become the place where he most often lingers for inspiration.
He likes to stand on the rocks on the shore at dawn.
It's not about watching the sunrise, but about closing your eyes and concentrating, feeling the majestic and endless "power" contained in the vast ocean water that has been surging for hundreds of millions of years.
He mutually confirmed this "potential" with Gold Element Rule's artistic conception of "forge ahead" and "break through obstacles", and realized that although it seems gentle, it actually contains the devastating power of rules.
He would also walk on the beach under the moonlight, with a ray of ever-changing energy lingering at his fingertips.
Sometimes, the source energy condenses into a thread as thin as a hair but indestructible, easily cutting through the incoming waves. This is his attempt to practice "Extreme Sharpness".
Sometimes, the source energy simulates the moment of crashing waves, bursting out suddenly and turning into a ball of fine golden foam, instantly crystallizing the gravel under your feet.
This is his way of exploring "violence" and "impact".
Sometimes, the source energy would become heavy and solid, like mercury pouring down the ground, silently seeping into the depths of the sand, and then thrusting upward violently. This was an exercise for him to understand "penetration" and "penetration".
The Tide of the sea seemed to have some strange resonance with the flow of energy in his body and his understanding of the rules in his heart.
However, Guangwu cannot do that.
Theory needs to be tempered by practice, and understanding needs a target to test the sword against.
While understanding the rules on a daily basis, Lin Yi's figure often begins to appear near lairs of various levels.
He is no longer a pure scavenger, but more like a rigorous and critical "researcher".
Facing a "Refraction Giant Crab" whose carapace contained strange Source Energy circuit and could deflect most source energy attacks, Lin Yi did not use Myriad Forms Sphere. Instead, he fired a single shot of highly condensed, high-frequency oscillating source energy, like the most precise drill bit, ignoring the Deflection Field, leaving a hole in its carapace.
He nodded slightly. "Vibrating Gold Art's penetration effect is miraculous for energy interference defense. It can be recorded."
Or, Lin Yi found a group of "Piercing Sound Flying Bat" who relied on sonic resonance to launch attacks, and tried to practice the meaning of "resonance".
He turned the source energy into an invisible shock wave field, and the sonic attacks that the flying bats were proud of hit this field. Instead, they themselves were shaken up and down, and the attack rhythm was disrupted.
"The idea of reverse interference at the rule level is feasible, but the cost is too high and the structure needs to be optimized."
Lin Yi calmly analyzed and easily solved these confused Abyssal Beast.
The harvest from these hunts is often not crystals, but the inspiration that bursts out at the moment of battle, the data that is verified, or the flaws that are discovered.
Those Abyssal Beast, whether strong or weak, became the best touchstone for him to hone his understanding of the rules.
At the same time, he sorted out some techniques that contained a hint of the true meaning of the rules during the verification process and were suitable for Stardust level students to study in depth, and threw them into Merit System.
As a result, there will occasionally be a few more secret skills books on the platform marked as "Lin Yi-Rule Comprehension Derivatives". The names are simple, but they attract all Stardust level students.
Although these stunts are far from the state of Lin Yi's own fusion of rules, each of them points directly to a certain subdivision direction of Gold Element Rule, pointing out the way forward for Stardust level students.
Nie Chang looked at the new <Flowing Gold Bind> that appeared on the platform and sighed to Liu Qiying, "Principal's practice is simply paving the way for the entire Source Martial Army. The things he throws out casually are enough for those boys to digest for several years."
Liu Qiying looked at the impressive merit figures and said with a wry smile, "Even this threshold is a bit too high."
Lin Yi himself doesn't care about this.
For him, creating these unique skills is like a natural expression when sorting out his own knowledge system, and is a by-product of practice.
After he threw them out, he ignored them and his mind sank into the ocean of rules again.
Time flies, the sun rises and the moon sets, Tide rises and falls, and a year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Lin Yi sat quietly on the rock on the beach, letting the salty sea breeze blow on his face.
He looked inside himself and silently felt his Rule Comprehension progress.
31.5%.
Lin Yi In my heart, I couldn't help but sigh a little bit.
"For the time being, this is all we can do first."
During this period of time, he first spent a year to completely digest the aftertaste of his last enlightenment and increase his comprehension level from 31% to 31.5%.
After that, for more than half a year, his Rule Comprehension made almost no progress.
Of course, it cannot be said that there is no such thing at all.
If measured on the most precise and stringent scale, there may be a slight improvement.
If we quantify it, I'm afraid it's barely even 0.00001%.
Lin Yi felt a wry smile in his heart.
"Rule Comprehension, the further you get to the back, the harder it will be to move forward."
He clearly recognized this, "It seems that with my talent, every subsequent step on Rule Comprehension will require unimaginable effort and time."
Lin Yi knows very well that based on the current almost stagnant speed, even if he consumes all of Star Vortex level's theoretical lifespan of one hundred thousand years and comprehends day and night, he will probably only have 70% or even 60% comprehension at most, let alone the 100% domain realm.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
"It seems that even if we start over again and have the advantage of Prophet's foresight, we can only get more Points in the assessment stage, and gain some additional initial resources while gaining some status for Blue Star. Then, when the potential is exhausted, we will disappear from everyone and return to a slightly more powerful, but ultimately ordinary Star Vortex level?"
Lin Yi shook his head in his heart.
Star Vortex level, after all, is still too weak. Star Domain level, that is the starting point for truly having the right to speak on the stage of the universe.
If it cannot be reached, the so-called promotion of civilization may ultimately just jump from a larger pond to a crueler and more vast bottom of the ocean, and continue to struggle.
"Fortunately."
Lin Yi couldn't help but feel happy.
Fortunately, there is Purple Mist Space, fortunately, there is Spiritual Enlightenment Qi!
This is the real basis for him to break the rules and change his destiny.
Lin Yi sunk his mind into Purple Mist Space deep in Soul Origin, and he clearly sensed that the wisps of Spiritual Enlightenment Qi floating inside Purple Mist Space, after nearly two years of natural accumulation, were already considerable.
"I have been saving for nearly two years. It took me 12 minutes of enlightenment."
Lin Yi Calculated this number, my heart was burning.
