According to the book’s explanation, the first 100 uses of the Exhaustion Training Method will result in very obvious changes. Such changes will allow one to raise their spirit power and magic power by several fold rather quickly. However, after the first 100 uses, the continual usage of the Exhaustion Training Method will provide no further advancements.
In addition, the Exhaustion Training Method will raise spirit power and magic power proportional to one’s own strength. The greater one’s magic and spirit power, the more it will increase. Similarly, the lower one’s magic and spirit power is, the less it will increase. It is for precisely this reason that most people traditionally only use the Exhaustion Training Method after reaching the Dacheng Realm, even though the method is incredibly effective.
However, Suo Jia didn’t agree; he wanted to find his own way. Even though he had no idea how he was going to achieve his goals, he would not give up as long as there was even the slimmest chance at victory.
In addition, another aspect that Suo Jia considered, was that although using the Exhaustion Training Technique right now would not be as beneficial as using it in the future, he was only missing out on the potential to double his spirit and magic power. If he could learn meditation and Ice Arrow earlier, the potential gains would outweigh the losses in Suo Jia’s opinion.
Since the beginning of recorded history, the youngest age to have learned mediation was 10 years old; the second youngest was at 12 years old. These records have remained unchanged for the last thousands of years, so Suo Jia did not actually think he was talented enough to learn meditation before the age of 10. What’s more was that it was said that in the entire history of the continent there was not one individual who ever had talent remotely close to that of those two people.
Perhaps there have been some people who have suspected that by using the Exhaustion Training Technique, meditation can be learned earlier and they could thus set new records. However, if that is the case, then why hasn’t anyone done so?
The reasoning was quite simple; becoming a Magister was the highest rank a human could occupy. Only one in a million was capable of being promoted from a Magic Priest to a Magister; However, those who use the Exhaustion Training Method to double their spirit power and magic power in a short period of time could easily enter the ranks of the Magister. But who would be foolish enough to give up the chance of becoming a Magister by choosing to learn the Meditation Technique faster? That would be meaningless.
The amount of spiritual and magic power that could potentially promote a mage from Magic Priest to Magister by using the Exhaustion Training Method was a hundred times more than the amount that could be gained through using the technique right now. If the benefits Suo Jia gained from used the Exhaustion Training Method was represented by a single drop of water, the amount of Spiritual and Magic Power gained while at the Magic Priest level was like that of a great ocean. Who would be willing to give up an entire ocean for a single drop of water?
However, Suo Jia had his own thoughts regarding this. He was currently only eight years old, and if he could learn the Meditation Technique now, at the very least, he would have a four year advantage over others! At least he would be able to stand at the very top of his peers in the initial stages of ice magic.
Suo Jia was interested in setting a record and leaving behind a legacy. He wanted to become the youngest person to learn the Meditation Technique and Ice Arrow and become the youngest Apprentice Mage. He wanted the power to defeat all the opponents at the same level as him six months from now and stand above his peers. He wanted to become the most powerful water mage in this generation!
In actuality, Suo Jia did not actually care too much about his future mage prospects. Since the day he enrolled in Holy Light Academy, Suo Jia had never thought of becoming a great mage until now. Suo Jia’s initial goal of becoming a brave warrior like his father was still firm and resolute.
After returning the book to the librarian, Suo Jia rushed home, finished his dinner, and went to bed early. He did not carry out the Exhaustion Training Method. One reason was because his magic power had not fully recovered yet, the other reason was that tomorrow was Sunday and he needed to carry out his street stall business.
The next morning, Suo Jia carried the tent and prepared to head out. This time, Suo Jia did not prepare to take his mother with him. The Sixth Sister who was in charge of travel preparations accompanied Suo Jia.
When they finished packing and were about to leave, his mother appeared in front of the door and pleaded sincerely, “Suo Jia, Mother is really bored staying at home everyday. Let Mother accompany you!”
“Agah!” Upon hearing his mother’s words, Su
