Chinese professors at the Wizarding Academy

The night was dark and the wind was biting.

After covering Jim with the blanket, Gu Chen sat back down in the familiar wooden chair.

In a wooden cabin on the very edge of Grey Tower Academy, bathed in the glow of green, luminous moss, he held a copy of "Basic Meditation Methods," a book so thin it seemed to mock everyone who couldn't understand it.

"Damn it, couldn't you have written more annotations?"

"Would it kill you to write two more words?"

The text above is dry, brief, and even somewhat vague.

"Quietly feel," "Catch that spark of inspiration," "Follow the guidance of your heart."

These words left Gu Chen speechless.

"If I could capture that myself, would I need you to write it?"

Ultimately, it still comes down to talent...

These vague words made Gu Chen feel suffocated, as if he were trapped in a glass bottle.

"Insights...guidance..."

Gu Chen gave a bitter laugh.

"Ha ha."

A person's "insights" may be divine inspiration, but it is clear that this fallen sixth-rank talent is indeed the illegitimate child of the goddess of fate, and the kind that is born with defects, the kind that would be kicked to death.

However, Gu Chen was not worried. The dark blue runes appeared in his eyes, and he had already made up his mind.

"We already have 3 analysis points..."

Now that the conditions are met, once the analysis is completed, a deeper understanding of it will inevitably be gained!

"Three analytical points are enough for me to analyze the 'Basic Meditation Method,' which is also known as the Star Method."

Now he must move forward and not waste a single minute or second.

Jim was exhausted after meditating all night, not only mentally, but also physically as a mortal.

However, now that Gu Chen is a wizard, he has more energy and can continue to study.

The book "Basic Meditation Methods" was in my hand, its pages marked by the passage of time, with damage on every corner.

If it weren't for some magical protection, the printed characters would probably have been erased long ago.

The outer skin wasn't fancy either; it was just thin cowhide with no metal edges.

It truly resembles a classic book, which means that many people had already read it before Gu Chen.

"All wizards start from the path of basic meditation."

"But is there any other way? Or is there a better method to improve this meditation technique?"

"...Anyway, I can't concentrate my mental power right now, and my blood absorption has already been enhanced to a perfect level. I can put aside other shields and tracking for now and prioritize improving my future potential."

Gu Chen thought about it and made up his mind.

"Perhaps, the analyzed basic meditation method might not even rely so much on talent?"

"Analysis!"

[Currently analyzing "Basic Meditation Methods"...]

[Analysis Points Consumed: 3]

[Analysis complete]

[Analysis successful... Understanding of the "Stargazing Method" has been achieved!]

Gu Chen was naturally unwilling and eager. His students had successfully built star trails by focusing their spiritual power. If he, as their teacher, didn't improve, would he be waiting to live off his students' past achievements?

With the successful analysis, a huge flow of information suddenly exploded in Gu Chen's heart!

He closed his eyes, focusing all his consciousness, all his concentration, and even the deep-seated obsession in his soul—a desire to break through all the fog—into a single point!

It's no longer about learning or following.

Instead... question! Analyze! Use that unique "spark" in his soul to strike at this seemingly unbreakable "foundation"!

What exactly is this meditation method?!

boom!!!!

It was silent, yet more soul-stirring than any thunderclap.

As the analysis succeeded, in that instant, Jim felt his consciousness being violently pulled up by an irresistible force, thrown out of the cramped wooden house, out of the cold material world, and into a... universe of thought!

He can't "see" the stars, nor can he "see" the star trails!

"Why is there nothing at all...?"

"The analysis revealed the 'Methods of Stargazing'... but where are the stars?"

All I could see was emptiness...

but,

suddenly!

Before Gu Chen's eyes was a void.

Then, a "point" that cannot be measured in size appeared. That point was very small at first, and then became more and more unstable, rotating and flashing.

"This... is the singularity of the universe?"

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable "Big Bang" occurred, containing infinite energy and possibilities!

Everything... everything burst forth from this primordial explosion!

After an unknown amount of time, the chaotic energy from the explosion gradually cooled, and the diffused matter began to gather under the influence of gravity, forming a huge and magnificent nebula, like a colorful dust storm in the universe.

As the density increased, a dramatic gravitational collapse occurred in the core region inside the nebula!

When the pressure and temperature reached a certain critical point, the flame was ignited, and the first primordial star was born. It dispelled the surrounding darkness and emitted endless light and heat!

Where there is a first, there is a second. With the first star shining, countless stars were born, forming a vast galaxy under the influence of gravity.

The massive spiral galaxy rotates slowly, with billions of stars following precise orbits, like an incredibly precise and magnificent clock.

The Milky Way flows, carrying with it an eternal and awe-inspiring beauty of order.

"puff--!"

When this scene was fully displayed in his mind, the immense pressure was like a heavy punch to Gu Chen!

The intense pain pulled him back to reality.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his spirit almost collapsed, and he slumped onto the old stool, panting violently like a fish out of water.

The cabin remained dilapidated, and the lights were still dim.

But as Gu Chen lay there, his wide-open eyes reflected not the despair of being unable to gather spiritual power, but an infinitely vast sea of ​​stars that had just exploded in his soul!

The feeling of weakness persists, and my head is throbbing.

But an indescribable calm and certainty replaced the previous anxiety and confusion.

"Nebulae, the sun, intergalactic gravity..."

"No wonder it's called the Starry Sky Magic!"

"Stars are the foundation, and stargazing is also about imagining the appearance of stars and then observing them!"

"This is the method of stargazing!"

At this moment, in Gu Chen's eyes, the stars and the sun were moving in the direction that naturally arose along their predetermined trajectories.

Isn't this the way mental power and mental trajectory are connected?

It's not about forcibly connecting them into one triangle after another...

Instead, it involves simulating the scene of the universe's creation in one's mind, and then naturally constructing star trails by observing the movement of stars and the gravitational pull of them!

This makes it easier to ignite spiritual power, directly mimic the pull of gravity, and also makes it easier to construct star trails!

Furthermore... these countless evolutionary gravitational trajectories are more efficient and reliable than simple triangles, hexagons, and the like!

"..."

Gu Chen wanted to say something, but only a shocked silence remained.

He realized his own insignificance, and also how magnificent the end of this road was.

Now I know how rudimentary the "Basic Meditation Method" before me is, and I also know what earth-shattering secrets are hidden behind it.

Stars and rivers flow... gravitational fluctuations.

Construct orbits by observing stars, rather than forcibly stretching and pulling them in your mind!

"Cough cough..."

Gu Chen had a splitting headache, but he was overjoyed!

He struggled to raise his hand, looking at his blood-stained, still weak fingers, but a faint yet incredibly firm smile slowly crept onto his lips.

"So...that's how it is..."

His voice was hoarse, yet it carried an unprecedented sense of power.

From this day forward, he will no longer be the ordinary wizard who carries a tattered map and gropes his way through the fog.

He, Gu Chen, a low-level first-ring wizard living in a dilapidated wooden house, has already glimpsed a corner of the ultimate scenery of this path!

So, what needs to be done next is very simple.

With these eyes that have glimpsed the truth, re-examine everything and forge a path that belongs to you, leading straight to the other side of the stars!

He closed his eyes, no longer looking at the blood-stained booklet, and began to guide the faint spiritual power within his body back to the vast "truth" in his mind.

This time, his thoughts were filled with the calmness and determination of a pioneer.

Tonight, in this dilapidated wooden hut, a stargazer's dream was born.
