Chapter 401 Oath
He walked up to the four professors, sat cross-legged facing them at a certain distance.
"Extraordinary, it's been a full month since you came to our magic academy. In this month, is there anything you don't understand about your studies in magic?" Professor Warlock spoke to Extraordinary in a different capacity.
"It's alright! I had four professors personally guiding me, but even if there were things I didn't understand, I was too embarrassed to say them." Chao Bufan listened attentively and was very sincere.
"How well have you grasped the basic common sense and fundamental laws of magic?" Professor Mihir asked.
"Professor, I've already mastered these basic common sense rules and principles!" Chao Bufan replied without any modesty, as if it were commonplace.
"The depth of one's magical foundation is directly related to one's control over magic. Only with a solid foundation can you have the resources to learn more profound magic." Professor Alpha looked at Super Extraordinary Investment with approval.
"Extraordinary. We have taught you all the basic knowledge and rules of magic up to today. As for whether you have truly mastered them, that depends on your own destiny. Although you are sometimes not humble, you are still quite to our liking." Professor Grace did not criticize him, but she did not praise him either.
"Maybe! I've never known how to be humble. I'm just the way I am, there's no need to deliberately hide anything. I walk my own path and do my own thing. Let others say what they want, think what they want, and see what they want. As the saying goes: Walk your own path and let others talk!" Chao Bufan said very easily.
“Well, that makes sense, but occasional humility is a virtue. Extraordinary, up to today, we have imparted to you the basic common sense of magic and the theoretical foundations of other aspects. From now on, the path ahead is up to you.” Professor Warlock has always held Extraordinary in high regard.
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "A good horse meets a discerning eye, and a student meets a good teacher. In the past month, under the careful guidance of the four professors, my understanding and mastery of magic has truly improved by leaps and bounds. I have benefited immensely and am extremely grateful!"
"We've only done our duty as mentors; the key is still yourself. Chao Bufan, you are the smartest student I've ever met. You learn everything so quickly and understand everything at a glance. We are very pleased with that!" Professor Warlock smiled and smiled, genuinely liking Chao Bufan.
Chao Bufan said with a smile, "Many people say that about me, and I also think that I am the smartest person in the world, unparalleled in the world."
The four professors laughed in unison, their laughter containing not a trace of mockery. On the contrary, they agreed with his statement. After all, Chao Bufan was the smartest person they had ever met, which was why they felt it was only natural.
“Extraordinary. In a few days, it will be the magic competition between our magic academy and the dark magic academy, which takes place every hundred years. We discussed it with the headmaster yesterday and are planning to have you participate. Do you have any thoughts?” Professor Warlock asked.
"Since you've already made a decision, what else can I say? I will obey the school's arrangements." I'm just a student; do I, as a student, have the right to object to the arrangements made by the school leaders?
"That's good. The school will announce the list of other participants this afternoon. Take advantage of these few days to get to know the other participants and build rapport with them," Professor Michel said.
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Yes, I know."
Professor Warlock nodded, then, in another capacity, respectfully asked, "Master, I have almost fully grasped the basic Taoist techniques and incantations you taught me. Shouldn't you now teach me some more profound Taoist techniques?"
Professor Mihir and the other two professors were immediately excited and expectant. Ever since they came into contact with Taoist magic, they had been deeply attracted by its profound and unfathomable nature and had benefited greatly from it!
"Have you all grasped it sufficiently?" Chao Bufan asked Professor Mihir and the others.
"Master, we disciples have almost grasped the meaning!" Professor Mihir and the others replied respectfully.
“Oh, since you’ve all grasped it quite well, I’ll now teach you some more profound Daoist techniques! However, before I begin, there are a few things I must remind you of,” Chao Bufan said, switching to a different way of speaking.
"Please speak, Master!" The four professors also adopted serious expressions.
Chao Bufan pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, “As the ancient saying goes: ‘The Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry yin and embrace yang, and achieve harmony through the interaction of these energies.’ Therefore, the Tao is unfathomably profound, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. In particular, some of the strange and wondrous techniques within the Tao are even more unimaginable. You need to make a solemn vow that, regardless of whether you have mastered them or not, you must not tell any outsiders.”
The four men were momentarily excited, but then they snapped back to reality, their faces turning serious, and said in unison, "Yes, Master."
As they spoke, the four of them raised their hands in unison, looked up at the sky, and said, "Heaven above, your disciples Worok (Mihir, Alpha, and Grace) hereby swear that if they ever reveal a single word of the teachings passed down by their master, they will be struck by lightning and die without a burial place!"
Chao Bufan nodded slightly and said, "The reason I asked you to swear an oath is because I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble. Besides, Taoist magic is different from magic, and many evil spirits and demons covet it, causing one disaster after another."
"Master, we understand," the four professors said in unison.
"Yes, magic has different levels, and so does Taoist magic. Taoist magic is roughly divided into four levels: the Heavenly Realm, the Earthly Realm, the Profound Realm, and the Yellow Realm. With your current cultivation level, you can now advance to the Earthly Realm. After I teach you the cultivation method for the Earthly Realm, you can practice on your own. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Chao Bufan spoke slowly, displaying the demeanor of a teacher.
"Yes, Master."
Next, after Chao Bufan imparted the Earth Realm cultivation method to Professor Warlock and the others, he said, "There is one last thing I must solemnly warn you about: the cultivation of the Dao is about progressing step by step and being down-to-earth. If you are greedy for quick success and act rashly, you may be unable to keep up with your greed and incur divine retribution. You must be careful."
Professor Warlock and the others were startled and hurriedly replied in unison, "Yes, Master, we understand."
Chao Bufan nodded, then put on a smile and asked, "Professor, is it time for get out of class to end?"
