Above the mage

Chapter 160 Minor Divine Skill

Foggy Frosty Moon 22th.

This afternoon's class is "Geography of the Nolan Continent and Geography of War".

In the morning, as usual, Gao De first went to the rune workshop on the third floor of Gavin Building to learn about runes and ten new level zero basic runes.

After reviewing the information compiled by He west several times to ensure a basic understanding, Gao De prepared to begin his rune drawing attempt for the day.

However, before putting pen to paper, Gaode cast a [Divine Guidance+] spell on himself to test its effects.

Although the failure rate of his rune-drawing process was extremely low.

However, the failure rate is extremely low, not impossible.

Therefore, it's always good to increase the success rate even a little; it's not a waste.

[Divine Guidance+] As soon as the blessing was applied to himself, a strange, refreshing current appeared in Gao De's mind.

It was as if a pool of clear water had washed over Gaode's brain, clearing away his distracting thoughts, making him more focused, and making his thinking much more active than before.

"Huh?" Gao De exclaimed in surprise at this state.

So, is the reason why divine guidance can improve the target's performance in the next skill due to this strange state of "mental clarity and active thinking"?

"That makes sense."

Many things have a state of being. For example, in the simplest game of basketball, the same person can have two completely different states, such as "perfect shooting" and "missing shots", even if it's only a day apart.

Without dwelling on it, Gao De didn't waste the duration of [Divine Guidance+] and began drawing runes.

Under the blessing of [Divine Guidance+], his mind became exceptionally sharp.

The rune diagrams and corresponding deconstructed texts from his previous memories flooded his mind at this moment, smoothly combining and integrating with each other in his mind, and were understood by Gao De.

Things that were previously a bit confusing now seem to have been answered.

Inspiration flows freely, and the mind soars.

Gao De took a deep breath and immediately began to draw.

When he was drawing runes, he often had a strange intuition that guided him on how to put pen to paper.

Hosie calls this runic talent.

Now, Gaode can clearly feel that this intuition has become even stronger.

Gaode once again entered a state of complete focus, forgetting all about time.

Much later.

Gao De came to his senses.

He put down the rune pen, stared blankly at the table, almost unable to believe his eyes.

On ten magic sheets of paper, ten near-perfect basic runes were laid out before him, their light shimmering and revealing their magic.

Although Gao De has an extremely low failure rate in drawing runes due to his talent and learning methods in runic literature, he has never been able to draw all ten basic runes in one go like today.

There has not been a single failure.

And it was completed in such a short time.

He could even feel that his brushwork and understanding of runes had improved dramatically.

Gao De was stunned for a moment, and after a brief moment of confusion, his eyes gradually lit up, revealing an expression of sudden realization.

He underestimated the power of [Divine Guidance+].

Or rather, there was a misunderstanding of [Divine Guidance+].

Before this, he subconsciously thought that [Divine Guidance+] was an auxiliary spell used to increase the success rate in actual practice.

But that's not entirely true.

The most powerful use of [Divine Guidance+] should be in "learning".

First of all, the most difficult part of many things is going from "0" to "1".

Once you have this "1", the rest is just a process of repeated practice and breakthroughs.

The same applies to learning skills.

For example, it might take up to half a year from learning how to concoct a certain potion to successfully concocting it for the first time.

However, after successfully concocting the potion for the first time, the interval between successfully concocting it for the second time may not exceed one day.

Finding this "1" is the key challenge in learning a skill.

Divine guidance can help him achieve this "1" more quickly.

Another point is that it has an effect unique to [Divine Guidance+].

With the blessing of "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow", [Divine Guidance+] changed from temporarily improving the performance of the next skill to:

Instead of being limited to the next skill, it will continue for an hour, regardless of how many skills the target performs during this time.

This allows the strange state of "mental clarity and active thinking" brought about by divine guidance to last for a full hour.

It is no longer limited to a single skill operation.

Gaode has just experienced this firsthand. In this state, efficiency in doing anything can be greatly improved, just like entering a youthful version of the flow state.

Opening up one's mind can indeed effectively improve performance in skill-based activities, but it's not limited to that.

The effect has now changed to last for one hour, regardless of how many skill activities are performed.

Conversely, could it also be understood that the effects of divine guidance magic still exist even without engaging in any artistic activities?

This means that he can also use [Divine Guidance+] to do some mentally taxing things.

For example, learning knowledge!

Once Gao De had a clear idea of ​​what was going on, he almost couldn't wait to reopen the learning materials He west had provided.

Drawing ten basic runes did not take an hour, and the effects of [Divine Guidance+] were still active.

He wanted to test his ideas.

Sure enough, the knowledge that he thought he had already grasped was repeatedly recalled by Gaode when he read and studied it again in this state.

Combining the two, some new understandings immediately emerged.

"So that's how it is." Gao De couldn't help but murmur, revealing a look of profound understanding.

It wasn't until the duration of [Divine Guidance+] ended that Gao De came to his senses and put down the documents in his hand.

Then, his vision went slightly black, and he almost fainted.

Gao De quickly grabbed the table to steady himself, then hurriedly untied the water pouch he carried and gulped down a large mouthful of the leak-free fruit drink.

It took him a moment to recover.

This is a side effect of the brain suddenly operating at high intensity for an hour.

My brain, which had never been under such heavy load before, couldn't adapt to the intensity and instinctively activated its defense mechanism, wanting to shut down and hibernate for a while.

However, after a few times, your body will gradually get used to it.

Gao De rubbed his temples, which were still slightly throbbing.

"Learning is good, but it should be done in moderation. Before my body can adapt, I shouldn't use [Divine Guidance+] too frequently for learning, or my brain won't be able to handle it," he reminded himself.

Although the slight headache and fatigue made him feel a little uncomfortable, the flow state he had just experienced while learning was incredibly addictive for Gaode, leaving him with a sense of wanting more.

More importantly...

"Isn't this just like a miniature enlightenment tea?" Gao De thought of the classic spiritual items in his previous life's fantasy novels and muttered to himself, "This isn't just [Divine Guidance Technique+], it's clearly a minor divine skill."

"Looking at it this way, getting first place in GPA doesn't seem so difficult after all."
