Chinese professors at the Wizarding Academy

Once again, the familiar darkness embraced Jim.

He saw it.

A tiny triangular star orbit slowly rotates within the sea of ​​consciousness.

Jim felt a surge of accomplishment, but it only lasted a short time.

"I can't be arrogant yet..."

"The teacher said I still have a lot to do."

"I want to keep improving."

He recalled Gu Chen's words and silently said to himself.

Then, Jim directed his consciousness into the mental sea and naturally saw the 22 stars.

Apart from the first triangle, the other stars, or spirit points, are still randomly scattered within the spirit, making this starry sky appear sparse and chaotic.

One triangle is far from enough.

No wonder Teacher Gu Chen wanted him to continue constructing star trails.

Jim was acutely aware of this.

According to the principles of "Basic Meditation Method," isolated star trails are inefficient. Only by incorporating more stars into a unified network can the growth, refinement, and operation of spiritual power achieve a qualitative leap. His current triangular star trail is merely a small, fundamental part.

"What should I do?"

Jim was deep in thought, while Gu Chen, observing from the sidelines, could clearly understand what his student was thinking.

"Hmm... Should we expand the connection first? It's a very stable idea."

"I can't offer advice... Damn it, why is even offering a word of advice considered an intrusion in this situation? If I knew mind magic, I wouldn't have let my sister Jim explore alone!"

Gu Chen looked at Jim with concern. Although the method he wanted to use was relatively safe, it was still dangerous.

After all, Jim didn't have a mind wizard to protect him, so he had to take every step on his own.

Blindly connecting stars: Randomly selecting stars to connect, but the resulting star trails may be extremely unstable and even conflicting. Expanding connections: Using an existing triangle as a base, connecting one vertex to a new star to form a new triangle, expanding outwards like building blocks. Finding a core: Among the remaining 19 stars, finding the brightest and relatively centrally located ones as new "secondary cores," first constructing new, smaller, stable structures, and then connecting these structures together.

"come on……"

Jim silently encouraged himself.

Just as Gu Chen had thought, he was determined to start by expanding the connection, step by step, starting with the first star track to connect other stars, and then forming star tracks!

Because the existing triangle was the structure he was most familiar with and most stable, using it as a foundation would minimize risk. He decided to use the first star of the triangle, the one he initially captured, as the starting point for expansion.

The target was chosen as the new star closest to the first vertex.

Jim repeated the process he had just gone through: focusing his mind, drawing out the threads, and carefully guiding the extension of his mental energy.

However, this time the difficulty far exceeded that of the previous ones!

"That's not easy..."

Gu Chen knew all too well how difficult this step would be.

Even exceptionally gifted freshmen need some assistance at this stage, such as potions or mind wizards.

First of all, those stars are very far away... and on a spiritual level, this sense of distance is amplified infinitely! The spiritual threads need to extend even further, and the difficulty of maintaining stability increases exponentially.

Finally, the original triangular star orbit is already rotating on its own, and it will instinctively "hold" the energy of the main star, that is, the first star, making it extremely difficult to "extract" new threads from it, like rowing against the current.

"Hang in there..."

Gu Chen knew that Jim must be extremely exhausted right now...

Jim's mental energy had been significantly depleted by the continuous high-intensity focus.

However, Gu Chen couldn't let Jim relax... If he relaxed and the pressure was gone, he probably wouldn't be able to meditate so smoothly.

"There are 10 points left."

Gu Chen glanced at Jim's panel; his mental energy was already mostly depleted...

However, the stars in the spiritual sea will not disappear when spiritual power is exhausted.

However, its energy has been depleted, and it has lost its luster, making it difficult to find.

After resting, the spiritual star will be relit.

At this moment, Jim felt as if his consciousness was a taut rubber band, about to snap at any moment.

Sweat had soaked his back, and his breathing had become heavy. But he kept his mind focused, his entire attention on the glowing thread.

"Buzz..."

A soft resonance!

It worked!

The fourth star has been successfully connected to the first vertex!

"pretty!"

Gu Chen couldn't help but cheer in his heart once again!

No wonder he's his student!

Jim's joy was fleeting; he savored it briefly before regaining his composure.

Jim wasn't blinded by his initial success. He calmly analyzed the situation and discovered a problem.

Although the connection is successful, this new connection is unidirectional and isolated.

The fourth star is merely a "tentacle" of the main star and does not form a new closed loop.

The spiritual energy flows from the main star to the new star, but cannot flow back effectively, resulting in very low efficiency, and this connection point appears to be extremely fragile.

It could even be said that it has become a bleeding wound for the main star!

Mental energy was continuously poured into it, and then dissipated in the sea of ​​consciousness!

All that effort to gather the mental energy for the capture has just slipped away!

A new triangle must be constructed!

Jim's mind immediately shifted; he had already come up with a solution!

He attempted to start from this fourth star and connect back to another point on the original triangle to form a new triangle that shares one side.

Gu Chen, who witnessed all of this, stared wide-eyed!

"Isn't this a parallelogram?"

"clever!"

This is the ultimate test of control!

However, Jim's mental energy was already depleted, his consciousness began to blur, and the stars in his vision began to sway slightly and appear as double images.

"Just a little bit more... just a little bit more..."

He persevered with unwavering willpower, his spiritual threads trembling as he slowly approached his target...

"Hang in there..."

Gu Chen continued to cheer himself on in his heart... Jim's talent... under such great pressure now, of course it's always being activated!

"Hold on, Jim, you must persevere!"

"It's almost done!"

"Clang!"

Another clear and melodious chime rang out! But this time, it brought a completely different feeling!

The moment the new triangular loop is completed, the two triangles share a vertex and an edge, forming a stable rhombus structure! The stability of the entire star orbit network increases dramatically! Mental energy surges and flows through the loop formed by the two triangles.

Mental energy is like a cheerful little sprite!
