I have a Tantric panel

"What's that noise?"

Little Clara was startled and quickly grabbed Shane's clothes, as if afraid of being left behind.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xia En stepped forward and stood in front of the little girl.

Look up.

In the distance, a dark shadow gradually appeared in the light.

To be precise.

That wasn't a shadow, but a swarm of moths made up of countless flying moths.

They flapped their wings, and their scales scattered like silver dust in the light.

The sound of each moth flapping its wings is faint, but when combined, it creates a sound that humans can perceive.

Moreover, it is different from ordinary moths.

Their mouthparts are sharper, like teeth, and they have a slightly bloodthirsty air about them.

Clearly, they are not as harmless as their own kind, but rather predators full of aggressive desires.

Xia En's expression was somewhat serious.

Although this is just a dream, being killed by these strange moths would likely have some negative effects on my real life.

Fortunately, he is no longer the clueless beginner he once was.

All that cramming on literature these past few days wasn't for nothing!

Shane had seen such a statement in a book called "The Interpretation of Dreams and the Identification of Witchcraft".

"Dreams are projections of the subconscious, and they are not entirely uncontrollable."

"Legend has it that in pre-Roman times, some wizards could actively control their dreams and summon familiar things into them."

"For example, commonly used weapons and armor."

"The best of them can even recreate deceased relatives from their memories—but that is often just an empty shell, a phantom."

The "wizard" in the book, in modern terms, would probably be a type of superhuman.

Xia En didn't know if she could do it.

But it's worth a try.

Thanks to several days of practice of the Deep Dive Meditation Method.

Even when faced with a swarm of moths, he can quickly calm down.

According to what that book says.

The first step is to determine what you want to summon.

Knife?

Using a knife to cut down a moth is a bit abstract.

Shotgun?

Perhaps it is feasible.

Unfortunately, he had never actually touched this kind of firearm, let alone become familiar with it.

Ideally, it should have a large attack range, be a nemesis of moths, and have a simple structure.

Suddenly, Shane thought of a very suitable "item".

The second step is to try to imagine what the object will look like.

The more detailed and specific, the better.

Xia En closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and his consciousness seemed to sink into an endless dark sea.

The shape of that object quickly became clear.

"Big brother?"

Seeing that Shane had his eyes closed, Clara thought he was frightened.

A swarm of ferocious moths was right in front of me.

The little girl was trembling uncontrollably, her face deathly pale.

She was terrified of insects and pain.

But she still bit her lip tightly, opened her arms, and tried to block in front of Xia En.

"Let there be fire."

Just as Clara was bracing herself for the moths' attack, Shane's voice rang in her ears.

The voice was solemn and dignified, even somewhat sacred.

Little Clara opened her eyes and saw...

A flame rose from the young man's palm.

To be precise, it was a cluster of candlelight!

The pure white candle stood upright in the palm of my hand. The flame at the tip of the wick was not large at first, but it emitted a platinum-gold light.

So dazzling, so… she couldn’t take her eyes off it.

[The Flame of Truth!]

This is the optimal solution that Shane came up with.

Flame is what moths seek, and it can also burn them to ashes.

at the same time.

The "Truth Candle" is also a gift from the "Day God," who symbolizes the "Lamp." From a mystical perspective, it has a special restraining effect on the "Moth."

Just as Shane had anticipated.

The moment the candlelight appeared, the swarm of moths flew towards it like madmen.

laugh--

The moth that first touches the candle flame is ignited, shining with an even brighter glow.

Xia En was initially worried that the swarms of moths would extinguish the flame.

But he soon discovered that as more and more moths were lit, the candle flame suddenly grew larger.

It was as if it drew nourishment from those "fuels".

In the blink of an eye.

The flames turned into flames, and the flames became a sea of ​​fire, burning the entire swarm of moths to ashes.

And what's really strange is that...

There was no acrid smell of burning protein in the air; instead, there was a clean and pleasant scent, like a quilt that had been sun-dried.

A certain dark, stale smell dissipated along with the burning of the moths.

The corridor became bright and clear.

Wow.

Little Clara let out a soft gasp, staring at Shane with adoration, her big eyes sparkling.

"Big brother, you're amazing!"

Shane candidly admitted, "It was just good luck."

"How did you do that? I want to learn!"

"Want to learn? I'll teach you."

"Yay!!"

As he spoke, Xia En's vision suddenly blurred for a moment, and a vague sense of detachment arose in his heart.

Is it that summoning the [Candle of Truth] consumed my spirituality, causing me to be about to leave the dream?

Clara blinked.

"Big brother, are you leaving?"

"Um."

"Will we ever see each other again?"

"It should be possible."

Xia En didn't think that [Entering Dreams] would be a one-time ability.

When their spirits meet again, they will meet in their dreams.

"Then I'll wait for you here."

Clara opened her mouth, but the sound that reached Shane's ears was already somewhat indistinct.

"Remember, don't keep me waiting too long..."

……

……

Xia En sat up in bed.

A few rays of light streamed through the skylight, and the distant sound of bells echoed from afar.

It's already morning.

Surprisingly, Shane didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, she was full of energy and had plenty of strength.

It felt exactly the same as having a good night's sleep.

In other words, entering a dream state does not affect normal rest?

Xia En's eyes lit up.

Doesn't this mean having more free time?

For someone who already makes the most of his time, this is undoubtedly good news.

However, if you die in a dream, the situation might be quite different.

What are the specific negative impacts?

Further research is needed.

He glanced at the panel out of the corner of his eye.

Xia En immediately perked up.

[Resonance: 0 (10%)]

Clara (Moth) → (Lamp) — Offset: 18%

The resonance has been enhanced.

Moreover, the offset increased by 13%!

This is an increase that has never happened before.

A sudden thought flashed through Xia En's mind, and he made a guess:

Her actions in the dream helped Clara overcome some of her psychological trauma and also changed her subconscious thoughts.

The most obvious change.

Nothing could be more effective than inspiring little Clara to yearn for the principles of the "lamp".

When applied to the panel, this results in an increase in the [Offset]!

Not only that.

Xia En thought of more.

A known:

Painting with passion can make viewers who are spiritually touched become "the chosen ones".

Guiding/deflecting the thoughts of others in dreams can earn you [Soul Points].

in other words.

The most efficient way to earn points.

The real purpose is to produce high-quality paintings, gain fame, and attract more people to view them.

As long as the number of people who have seen the painting is large enough, there will always be seeds with a talent for mysticism.

They are a potential source of points.

Next, use the earned Soul Points to improve your drawing skills and increase your passion, creating more exquisite paintings, attracting more viewers, and forming a positive cycle.

Xia En's breathing gradually became rapid.

He felt that this was the underlying logic for obtaining points on the panel!

But the prerequisite is that he has to become a somewhat famous new painter.

The White Canvas Award, still the White Canvas Award!
