Necromancer, summoning 055? What the heck?

Chapter 49 Psionic Flow in Hand
In some ways, the teaching model of the magic tower in this world is somewhat similar to the doctoral supervisor model plus small-class training on Earth.

Most of the time, the apprentices never see the true master of the magic tower, Master Hal. The ones responsible for teaching and guidance are all disciples of Archmage Hal, or even disciples of his disciples.

Only those who have reached a certain level or demonstrated exceptional talent may be personally recruited by Hal.

Slightly different from Black Raven Castle, in Master Hal's Preparatory Mage Tower, the apprentices were divided into different levels.

At the very top of the pyramid is the advanced group called "Chenguang"—on Earth, this would be a "smart class" or "teacher's children's class," with preferential resources and a bright future.

The middle tier consists of two midstream groups called "Rising Light," and the lowest tier comprises six groups called "Faint Light."

Chen Mo's group is called the Glimmer Group Three, which is the most basic training class in the Mage Tower.

Generally speaking, there are three situations in which one can enter the Mage Tower to study.

The first type is the children of noble families who choose to cultivate magic. These people have money and resources, so they generally don't need to consider talent; anyone who comes can start.

Spend the most money, receive the most detailed guidance, and you'll find geniuses, slackers, and mediocre individuals.

The second type is those with exceptional talent, regardless of whether they are nobles or commoners.

Talent is the cornerstone of ultimate growth. This group of talented individuals is the category that magicians are truly willing to carefully cultivate. Almost every magic master's vassal mage and personal disciple grows up from this group.

There's a saying that applies to both the warrior and magic worlds: having talent doesn't guarantee becoming a master, but without talent, you'll never become a master.

The third type is the ragtag disciples.

This group is the main component of the mage apprentices. In the future, they will form a pyramid shape with a wide base and a narrow top, decreasing in number from unranked preparatory mages to third-ranked sun-corona mages.

Only a very small percentage of them are able to complete the fourth-tier job advancement and become the new elites of the Starry World.

The students in the Micro-Light Group are obviously children from families with average backgrounds and limited assets. Being able to enter the Magic Tower to study may be the greatest chance in their lives to change their fate.

It must be acknowledged that when the upper echelons of the mainland are dominated by centuries-old families and millennia-old nobles, ordinary people have very few ways to break through class barriers.

Either the country experiences a massive upheaval, such as the overthrow of a monarchy or a war of dynastic change; or one undergoes a complete transformation, such as changing jobs, advancing in rank, or climbing the social ladder.

If this barrier cannot be broken down, for most apprentices of this age, improving their technical skills as much as possible becomes a real life issue.

Even if you can't successfully change jobs in the end, you can still register as a mercenary and find some relatively safe work assignments. At least you won't have to worry about food for the rest of your life.

This exceeds 90% of the mainland's ordinary citizens.

At this moment, the students of Group 3 of Micro-Light had mixed feelings about Chen Mo.

Your classmate is more handsome, richer, and more hardworking than you...

The only thing they could console themselves with was Chen Mo's meager "dual-ability" index, but seeing this guy's tireless, day-and-night cultivation, they felt a chill run down their spines.

Yes, at this rate, even this last advantage will soon be surpassed.

They felt a sense of powerlessness, as if their last vestige of superiority was about to vanish.

Jealousy, envy, admiration, fawning...

I'm overwhelmed with emotions!

Chen Mo had no time to pay attention to his classmates' thoughts. After cramming on the basics for a while, he applied to learn [Psionic Streaming].

This is an important milestone on Chen Mo's study plan. According to his plan, after completing the study of psionic energy diversion, he will begin to carry out the next bloodline sacrifice.

According to Morton's interpretation, Psionic Drain is a high-level skill among basic skills.

It is considered basic because its initial requirements for spiritual and magical power are very low; it is considered high-level because the model for the distribution of psionic energy is complex and requires very precise control.

Morton spent half a day explaining the spell model and key points of Psionic Drain to Chen Moxiang in detail, repeatedly emphasizing that he should never try to use it to drain offensive spells before he had mastered this standalone model. As an add-on model to the regular spell model, its function is exactly as its name suggests: drain!

For example, if the original spell model is considered as a circle, then the psionic diversion is like manually dividing this circle into several equal parts.

The more standardized the model is, the better the effect. If the division is too skewed, it may even cause the main spell model to fail.

The most crucial element here is finding the key points.

The reason why psionic energy can construct regular spell models is related to the natural regularity of psionic energy. As long as two endpoints are selected and guided slightly, psionic energy will automatically stretch into a straight line. The core of the diversion is to find that crucial "point"!
It's easy to imagine that this kind of operation relies heavily on "feel" and "experience." The mages practice model reconstruction repeatedly in order to improve their proficiency through continuous training and be able to grasp that endpoint with ease.

But for Chen Mo, a college student who has studied modern mathematics, wasting a little bit of magic power to make a few auxiliary lines is something that anyone could do.

As it turns out, that's not entirely true.

Chen Mo spent half an hour digging out the dying memories in his mind, reviewing the relevant knowledge of geometry, and then began to bury himself in solving the problem.

Dividing the object into four equal parts is a piece of cake; just use a straight line and a perpendicular line as aids, and you're good to go.

Dividing it into six equal parts is acceptable, pass!

Dividing into three equal parts is a bit more complicated. Chen Mo buried himself in studying it for more than an hour and finally solved the problem theoretically. However, he still needs more time to practice the virtual operation.

The only problem was that dividing him into five equal parts left Chen Mo in a terrible predicament.

In certain situations, being unable to solve a problem is just like getting stuck at a level in a game—it can be incredibly addictive and addictive!
For the first time, Chen Mo didn't go to work overtime to study at night. He stayed up all night writing under the lamp, and the draft paper covered the entire desk.

The next morning, when he stepped into the schoolhouse with bloodshot eyes, he immediately attracted the attention of Morton, the discipline instructor, who came to Chen Mo's side with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell after taking the medicine?"

"No, no, it's about the issue of psionic diversion. There are still some things I don't understand."

Morton couldn't help but shake his head: "You're just too impatient. How can you expect to understand a skill you've just learned so quickly?"

"Don't be impatient! Take it one step at a time."

When it was time for morning class, Morton cleared his throat: "Ahem, today we're going to review a traditional high-level skill from the basic spells: Psionic Tap!"

All the Kara members of Group Three of Weiguang: "???"

Can this course be changed at the last minute like this?

Since everyone in the group had already mastered this basic skill, Morton quickly repeated the key points and, unusually, moved on to the Q&A session ahead of schedule.

"Does anyone have a question?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes in the dormitory focused on "Roy," whose position had been specially adjusted to the center of the front row.

His gaze was a mixture of envy, jealousy, hatred, and a hint of "I knew it" disdain.

Chen Mo stood up with a stiff upper lip: "Instructor Morton, I've encountered a problem. When trying to use psionic diversion for five-line diversion, I can't accurately locate the diversion point. I've spent a lot of time but still haven't been able to solve it effectively."

“You’re in too much of a hurry!” Morton frowned slightly, habitually tapping the smooth podium, his tone slightly admonishing, “The basic skill of psionic diversion is secondary diversion! You should master that first…”

"Morton's instruction, I've finished that!"

"Ha, there are different things when it comes to completion. Without rigorous training, how can one truly master it?"

Morton stepped aside to make room in front of the podium and gestured, "Come on, come up and demonstrate, and I'll explain the problems to you in detail."

Chen Mo stepped onto the stage.
