The Spirit World

Chapter 547 Yellow River
"The Shadowless Flame comes from your thoughts and mental strength, so in theory, the stronger your mental strength and thoughts are, the more powerful the Shadowless Flame will be." Xiao Lan stayed quietly above Chang Yufeng's head and whispered, "Shadow Breaking Hua Zhan is an attack method that uses this kind of flame to instantly contact the enemy and launch a powerful blow. This requires the use of the characteristics of the Shadowless Flame. Shadow."

"Wuying..."

Chang Yufeng had sweat on his forehead as he looked at the "fire core" in his right hand.

Can this thing really use dark attributes?

What is the dark attribute?
There was no change in his hands. He didn't know how to use force, so his little hand held the fire core in the palm of his hand like a chicken claw, and it was shaking badly.

No, any, changes.

However, the fire core seemed to be dying out, with only a few flames and nothing in sight.

"To break the shadow, the most important thing is to understand the concept of shadow. Do you know what shadow is?" Xiao Lan glanced at the "dying" fire core, and then looked at the flowing nebula: "Shadow comes from everyone's feet. As long as there is light, there is a shadow. If you deeply understand this, the shadowless sword technique will be easy for you."

"Huh? Speak slower, I... don't understand..."

Chang Yufeng looked at Huo Xin with gritted teeth, there was no change at all... He was so exhausted that his whole body was shaking.

Fire element plus dark element...is it possible?

"I said, since it is shadowless swordsmanship, it uses everyone's shadow to fight. The only difference from an assassin is that you can teleport behind someone's shadow openly. To others, you are just very fast, but in fact you rely on your shadow to move, and the speed of this teleportation depends on the degree of your practice. Therefore, it depends entirely on your hard work and practice." Xiao Lan patted Chang Yufeng's head with her beautiful fish fins: "The master leads you to the door, but the practice depends on yourself, that's what it means~"

"But you still didn't tell me how to learn Shadow Hua Zhan." Chang Yufeng gritted his teeth, trembling and sweating profusely.

"Oh..." Xiao Lan nodded in response: "Shadow Breaking Hua Zhan, relying on Shadowless Flame and other people's shadows, can move quickly and close the distance with the fastest speed to the enemy. Of course, if you use the wind element and special training, you can also achieve the same effect. Shadowless Flame and Shadow Breaking Hua Zhan can be said to be the basics of the basics. There are only two situations: very skilled and very unfamiliar."

"Can't understand……"

"That is to say, if you are not very skilled, you will not be able to use it well. To use it well, you must be very skilled."

"So you have to work hard?" Chang Yufeng collapsed on the ground exhausted, and there was an eternal void there.

He gasped and looked at Xiaolan above his head.

"Yeah. I can only tell you to work hard."

"Why? I don't even know how to make that fire you're talking about... no matter how hard I try..."

Chang Yufeng looked at his hands tiredly. The fire had long been extinguished. He was exhausted, but he didn't even know what to do.

"No wonder you are Erica's friend. You and Erica both told me to work hard, but I just can't do it... How can I work hard... Besides, what's the point of working hard... I tried hard but there was no result..."

Xiao Lan listened to Chang Yufeng's words, swam down from his head and stopped in front of him.

"If you encounter difficulties, the first thing you should think about is how to solve it, rather than giving up. If you can summon the fire core of the Shadowless Flame, then you can definitely summon the Shadowless Flame. Since you know that your sister Erica is gifted, why don't you ask her how to extract dark elements? Besides, since I'm here, you can also ask me. Of course, your efforts like a headless fly are useless... Such efforts are not efforts, but useless work." Xiao Lan staggered away from Chang Yufeng again and slid into the nebula.

"You say you've worked hard, but it's largely in vain. It has nothing to do with the effort itself."

"I don't understand... I just know that I can't do it... I can summon the elemental fire, but I can't extract the dark element, let alone add the dark element back to the fire element. I tried very hard just now... but I just couldn't do it."

"You've only been trying for more than ten minutes...less than half an hour..."

“But I have tried very hard…”

"Your efforts are not in sync with what you do~"

"But I feel like I can't learn it well... I'll just give up..."

"Why, how long have you been trying... Why don't you learn anymore? Doesn't what you just said count? You even said you wanted to be better than Erica~"

"But I can't learn it no matter how hard I try..."

"But your efforts are useless without a plan or a goal. That's not hard work~"

"Why...you said that useless work is useless...I have tried so hard..."

"There is no reason. The root of the problem lies with you. You have too narrow a view of yourself."

Chang Yufeng remained silent.

Then he shook his head violently.

"I don't understand... I don't know..."

"You give up too easily... That's what I mean. If you just think about how to work harder, but don't think about whether your efforts are right, you will definitely give up~"

Xiao Lan swam around in the nebula quietly, and it was unclear if the nebula was covering up her voice.

“I really tried very hard…”

Chang Yufeng sat on the ground, still breathing heavily. His fatigue came from maintaining the fire core for more than ten minutes, but there was absolutely no change.

"What should I do if I can't do it at all... It's not that I don't want to do it... I just... I can't do it... Really..."

Xiao Lan seemed to have disappeared, and Chang Yufeng could no longer see her.

But her voice is still there.

"This is the funniest thing I've ever heard. When you were a kid, you didn't know how to eat. But now you've been eating happily for so many years."

"This is different!" Chang Yufeng stood up and shouted loudly: "I really can't do it..."

He felt a little aggrieved.

"Then what can you do?" Xiao Lan asked doubtfully. Her voice was still sweet, but serious, like a mountain.

"I can't do anything... I told Erica... I can't learn anything at all."

Chang Yufeng sighed sadly.

"Well, being unable to do anything is also a special talent. You have such self-awareness, which can also be considered a special genius~Hahaha~"

Xiao Lan did not appear again, but said coldly: "You can go now. I will not cover for you like your sister. Whether you study or not, it has nothing to do with me, right? It is useless for you to tell me whether you work hard or not. You are still a child, and your sister can still tolerate all your unreasonable behavior, but you can't be like this all your life. People will be sad and disappointed. You should not be a child anymore. You should understand this truth."

Chang Yufeng, you are still... a child...

Is fifteen years old considered a child?
Can I be considered a child at the age of fifteen?
Will you make people sad?
Will you disappoint people?
Why I...

I can never do it...

Why I...

I just can’t do it…

I……

Did it disappoint you?

Chang Yufeng looked at his hand. There should be such a strong black flame there, it was the shadowless flame, but it only had a tiny fire core.

I…can’t…

?
By the time Chang Yufeng reacted, Erica was already sitting quietly in front of him. The green grass was so dazzling in the darkness.

The stern voices of adults guiding children in training are so loud, and the color of the sky is so blue. There, is the sky.

A distant world that no one has ever been to. Perhaps it should be shining brightly in the sky.

Erica's eyes were clear and transparent as she watched Chang Yufeng slowly sit down.

"You were kicked out." Erica's voice was calm, even with a smile: "How is it? Did you remember the practice method she told you? When will you start practicing?"

Chang Yufeng sat down slowly, lowered his head, and remained silent.

"I was kicked out..."

He said, looking at his shoes.

It was a pair of very small leather boots that Rajel bought at a street stall. He said that the shoes were very durable, and he bought a pair in large, medium and small sizes for each of the four people in his family.

"I know, I just said..." Erica nodded: "Although you were kicked out, she must have taught you swordsmanship, right?"

She looked at Chang Yufeng and nodded obediently, while Chang Yufeng still kept his head down and did not speak.

He was like a person admitting his mistake, he nodded solemnly, then lowered his head solemnly.

"That's it. You can start practicing. It's only been half an hour... We still have some time before we go home. Although I don't know swordsmanship, I can still watch." Erica smiled at Chang Yufeng, looked at his gesture of admitting his mistake, and blinked hard: "There are so many people practicing swordsmanship here. If we encounter any difficulties, we can also ask others, right?"

"I... can't learn it..." Chang Yufeng started, looking up at Erica. Erica was a little confused and waited for him to continue.

“Swordsmanship also requires magic. I don’t know magic, so I can’t learn it…” Chang Yufeng’s voice was very special, as if it was stuck in his throat and he was hoarse: “I don’t know magic, so I can’t learn it… It doesn’t matter whether I try hard or not. I don’t have magic… I don’t know magic… I can’t learn it… The swordsmanship she teaches requires magic… I don’t know magic, so I can’t learn it…”

Tears welled up in Chang Yufeng's eyes. Although he didn't cry, the tears in his eyes were condensed and sparkling, like a gem hanging in the corner of his eyes.

Erica was stunned for a moment, looking at Chang Yufeng who started crying.

Chang Yufeng rested his fists on his knees, two lines of small tears slowly flowed down his cheeks. He looked at Erica and choked up, "I'm sorry, she kicked me out... I didn't mean to... I really don't know magic... I can't learn it..."

Erica silently took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his eyes. She said nothing, but just silently helped him wipe away his tears.

Everything should be just a dream...

Why did I come to this world...

In this magical world, why do you want me to not know magic...

Everyone can be incapable of magic, why is it me...

After wiping away her tears, Erica sat quietly, watching Chang Yufeng's two small tears continue to flow, and placed her handkerchief in front of him.

In a very gentle tone, she said with a smile: "Boys, you have to wipe your tears by yourself. If you keep waiting for others to wipe your tears, when will you grow up to be a man~"

This world has wind...

Will the wind in this world be gentle forever?

"Aren't you angry? I haven't learned anything... I haven't learned anything..." Chang Yufeng looked at the white handkerchief. A small blue butterfly was lightly dotted on the edge of the handkerchief, embellishing this white handkerchief that could wipe away all tears.

"why are you mad?"

"I... disappoint you... I can't learn..."

"I am not disappointed..."

Erica looked quietly at Chang Yufeng who was a little hesitant.

Chang Yufeng looked at Erica, tears falling gently on the grass. They were like dew, sliding across the grass and falling into the soil, leaving no trace.

"Why should I be disappointed... Isn't my brother apologizing to me even though he is like this..."

"But... I really can't learn..." Chang Yufeng looked at his palm in pain. He raised his hand in front of Erica and grabbed it tightly. It was trembling like a chicken claw. The tiny flame was like a dying patient, struggling and refusing to go out.

"I can only do this. I can't learn even a little bit of what she taught me. I have tried so hard. I tried so hard, but I can't do anything."

Chang Yufeng was trembling, as if he had been abandoned. His hand dropped heavily, and the fire core finally went out, cleanly and neatly.

"I think so..." Erica smiled and stood up.

She patted her coarse cloth skirt, and the grass debris was gently patted off, like snowflakes mixed with green grass and mud, scattered and drifting in the wind.

"Then, let's not practice anymore... Let's go home early... ok?"

Erica stood up, her small figure stood up, with the flow of the wind.

She stretched out her hand and placed it in front of Chang Yufeng: "I know you have worked hard... Let's go... Let's go home... I don't want to study anymore..."

Chang Yufeng looked at Erica's hand. The hand was very small and placed quietly in front of her. She wanted to pull him up, and then do nothing and go home silently.

Perhaps, when he returns home, he can only stay in his room.

daze.

Or maybe he...

Where can he go?
"Am I really useless..."

Chang Yufeng wiped away his tears with his hands, rubbed his face vigorously with his arms, and then silently put down his hands.

"I don't know magic, I'm nothing, I don't even know what I should do... Even though you've helped me so much, I still can't do it."

Erica looked at him quietly and took her hand back.

Listen to him and tell his story.

Perhaps, she was supposed to be silent and listen to her brother.

"I know I'm useless... I'm a No-Maj in the eyes of others... a waste... I know my parents both know magic, they are both great wizards, but their child can't do magic and can only watch others laugh at him. I also want to work hard, but without magic there is no magic. I can't learn anything, I can't learn anything about magic... I know you really want me to learn... but I tried really hard, how could I know that my efforts were useless... I know I will always be like this... I will be like this all my life, without magic... being laughed at by others..."

Chang Yufeng gritted his teeth.

"Of course I won't accept this... Of course I want to impress those who laugh at me, but I really can't do it... I can't even use a little bit of magic... I only have a little bit of fire... I don't even know what magic is..."

"For someone who knows nothing, what's the point of working hard..."

Chang Yufeng spoke more and more quietly... Finally, he paused...

He lowered his head again and remained silent.

Erica also remained silent and slowly sat down again.

She placed her hands on his face and squeezed it gently.

"What does it matter... Have you forgotten what I said? Everyone is gifted. Just because magic didn't choose you doesn't mean the end of the world."

"In other parts of this world, there are many things you can work hard for. They are also waiting for you to come and make your talents become their pride."

"You can do a lot of things. You will also fail to do a lot of things. This is inevitable and a fact you need to accept. But please believe that failure is not an excuse for not trying hard. Because people who hit their heads against the wall are everywhere."
