New Meditation Method

"Chip, how long will it take me to practice the Extreme Meditation Method?"

[The main subject's genes can accommodate up to 37 solidified runes, far exceeding the 24 runes of an ordinary First-Class Apprentice.]

[By practicing another Meditation Method, the host will complete advancement three years and nine months earlier.]

[The main subject's genetic limit is extremely high, and practicing the Extreme Meditation Method will allow him to reach the highest peak among those of the same rank. Defect: The excessively high genetic limit means the main subject will need to spend more time.]

[Overall recommendation: Practice not recommended.]

Looking at the conclusion given by the Chip, Green sighed inwardly. Being able to reach the genetic limit was naturally a good thing, as it meant he could fully develop his potential. But as a saying from his previous life went, excess was as bad as deficiency. The Extreme Meditation Method was simply too extreme—it had already fallen into the path of depravity.

"Teacher Lilian, may I ask you a question?" After seeing the result given by the Chip, Green had already thought of a way to refuse.

"Of course, child." Lilian still replied with a smile.

Green looked at Lilian, drew a deep breath, and voiced his question.

"Teacher Lilian, may I ask whether anyone who practiced the Extreme Meditation Method was able to reach the very pinnacle of the East Coast Wizards?" Green's words were like a fatal strike. The smile that had been on Lilian's face faded, and her expression gradually grew solemn.

"Alas..." A sigh escaped her.

"No!"

Lilian's answer did not surprise Green. The farther one progressed with the Extreme Meditation Method, the more time it required. It simply was not prepared for short-lived species like humans, but for individuals who were born with much longer lifespans.

After answering Green, Lilian seemed to have had all her strength drained away. She no longer tried to persuade him.

Looking at the silent Green, Lilian knew he had already made his decision. So what if the Extreme Meditation Method could increase the probability of breaking through? Not even a single person had reached the peak. That was its greatest flaw.

"All right, Bru, take Green away! Once you reach the Academy, let Green choose another School for himself." Lilian sat back down and spoke to the old Wizard named Bru beside her.

Bru walked up to Green and pointed toward the door, indicating that Green should leave with him.

"Um, Teacher Lilian, could you teach me the Apprentice portion of the Extreme Meditation Method and let me try it first?"

Green did not leave when Bru gestured to him. Instead, he suddenly raised his head and spoke to Wizard Lilian with a sincere expression.

When Lilian heard this, she did not react much. However, a book suddenly appeared in her hand. Then, as though controlled by some unknown force, it slowly floated toward Green.

"Thank you, Teacher." After receiving the Apprentice portion of the Extreme Meditation Method, Green hurriedly bowed and expressed his gratitude to his teacher.

Green's thanks received no reply. Lilian remained seated there with her eyes closed.

Seeing this, Green and Bru left the room.

Only after the two of them had left did Lilian slowly open her eyes, sorrow showing in them.

"The Extreme School... Is it going to end with my generation?"

After Green followed Bru a considerable distance from the room, Bru, who had been walking ahead, suddenly turned around and looked at Green.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Bru. You can consider me your senior. I'm currently a Second-Class Apprentice. Also, I'm only twenty-two years old, so don't mistake my age because I look old."

Hearing Bru's words, Green stared at the old man before him in astonishment. With his white hair and sagging skin, this man was telling him he was only twenty-two?

"Yes, Senior." Though Green's heart was filled with shock, he still answered Bru.

"Don't be surprised. Wizard experiments are extremely dangerous. I look like this because something went wrong during an experiment and I suffered severe radiation contamination. The skin on my body rapidly aged, which is why I became like this. But my Youth Potion will be finished soon. By then, you'll be able to see me in the form of a handsome hunk."

The moment Bru opened his mouth, words poured out endlessly. He was extremely talkative. It seemed that only after his appearance changed because of the accident in the experiment had he become somewhat reserved.

As Bru walked, he introduced Green to his School, praising it to the heavens and beyond.

Green also realized that Bru had taken a liking to his talent and wanted to draw him into his School.

Naturally, Green would not make a decision so early. Although he kept echoing Bru's words, he did not actually agree.

Bru also saw through Green's thoughts and did not try too hard to persuade him. In Bru's view, as long as he left a good impression for now, then with the strength of his own School, Green would naturally make comparisons after arriving at the Academy. At that point, it would be easy to draw Green into his School.

To draw closer to him, Bru also introduced Green to some basic information about the Academy. The entire White House Academy contained different Schools. These Schools were founded on different Meditation Methods and selected suitable students. After Green and the others reached the Academy, they would undergo further testing to determine which Meditation Method best suited their talents and choose the School that suited them best.

Wasn't this just like university in his previous life? The first talent screening was the cutoff score. The second screening was choosing a major. Students chose different majors according to their abilities. The entire process was no different from the college entrance examination and university admission in his previous life.

"This is your room. We'll be spending the next three months at sea, so get ready. I'll head back and continue recruiting." Bru brought Green to a room and informed him of the total duration of the journey. Then he turned and left to continue recruiting.

Watching Bru leave, Green opened the door and walked inside.

A sudden burst of intense light made Green's eyes blur for a moment.

The room was extremely spacious and luxurious; it was clearly no ordinary place. It was located on the upper level of the deck, with light shining in through the windows. Unknown gemstones were placed throughout the room. Green could tell what they were, and they faintly emitted light—presumably to be used for illumination at night.

Aside from that, the furnishings of the bed, desk, and bookshelf were all exceptionally luxurious. They were made from the finest wood, with complicated patterns carved into them.

Green, however, did not care whether the environment was good or bad. Such things could not fill his stomach. He directly took out the Extreme Meditation Method, quickly recorded it with the Chip, and immediately began meditating.
