Chapter 695: Chapter 714: Who Really Can’t Keep Up With Whom?
Jiang Qiuqiu arrived at the Dean of the Spirit Healing Department’s office next door.
At that moment, Dean Zhu had just finished his Nutrient Liquid.
Hearing a knock on the door, he let Jiang Qiuqiu in.
As he looked at the young woman’s face, he felt incredibly gratified.
’She’s here. The talent I’ve been longing for is finally here!’
"Come, have a seat. Don’t be so formal."
"Let’s skip the pleasantries. If you’re ready, we can begin the lesson right away."
"I’m ready."
The moment she spoke, Dean Zhu turned on the projection screen in his office. He fiddled with the controls, and an infographic on fundamental concepts from his previous lectures quickly appeared on the screen.
"We’ll just touch on this briefly. You’ve studied with Mrs. Ai’er, so you should be familiar with this."
"You understand the branches of Spirit Healing and the effects of Healing Spiritual Power. It’s just a matter of types and intensity..."
"Aside from that, we also need to cover the history of Spirit Healing Masters." As a more recently awakened and discovered talent, the history of Spirit Healing Masters is somewhat shorter than that of the Mecha Soldiers in the neighboring department.
"I’m bringing these individuals up specifically so you can understand the different schools of thought. For instance, there’s Ai’er’s style—the pure Healing Spiritual Power school. I, on the other hand, use objects as a medium, whereas you create things."
Practical subjects, historical traditions—these were all things that could be covered in a single pass. Dean Zhu spoke at a rapid-fire pace, getting through a pile of lessons in just over an hour.
After covering the theoretical knowledge, he began to teach Jiang Qiuqiu the most fundamental skill for a Spirit Healing Master.
Releasing Healing Spiritual Power.
"Do you know how to do this?"
"Mrs. Ai’er mentioned it a few times," Jiang Qiuqiu said. "I’ve also used it on a few occasions."
"Release some for me, let me take a look."
Jiang Qiuqiu meditated for a moment, then gathered her spiritual power and released her Healing Spiritual Power. The entire process only took about a dozen seconds.
After watching her perform the entire sequence, Zhu Tiansheng snuck a peek at his lesson plan for the day.
[1] Teach how to gather and release Healing Spiritual Power
[2] Teach meditation for Healing Spiritual Power
...
’She’s a real natural at this.’
’Cross that off. And that one too.’
"Excellent. You’ve learned this step very well."
"Now try... this one, and this one."
Dean Zhu was already pulling out objectives for the next day’s lesson.
Jiang Qiuqiu did as he asked.
And once again, she performed quickly and exceptionally well.
Zhu Tiansheng was floored. ’This is what Mrs. Ai’er meant by "unsystematic" and "unorthodox methods"? She seems to be doing perfectly fine!’
He pulled up the lessons he had planned for the entire first week, only to discover that Jiang Qiuqiu already knew basically all of them. The only one she was a little rusty on was a technique that was rarely used in practical application anyway.
"Alright, it seems I underestimated you. Your foundational skills are incredibly solid. You don’t need me to lecture you on them; you just need to continue strengthening them through practice."
"To help me create a more complete study plan for you, tell me what else Mrs. Ai’er taught you."
Jiang Qiuqiu then recounted everything she had learned from Mrs. Ai’er.
As Zhu Tiansheng listened to this long list of skills, his mind filled with questions.
’Didn’t the message say they only met in the second half of 5355?’
...
’Is this for real?’
’What happened to the Spirit Healing Department’s reputation as one of the most difficult departments?’
"Is something wrong, Dean Zhu? Are there things I missed and still need to learn?"
"You’ve learned basically all of the fundamentals. I thought you might have trouble keeping up with the rest of the class, but it turns out you know even more than they do..."
’Good grief, the students in the actual Spirit Healing Department don’t even learn this much!’
"In that case, let me teach you one more training method for Healing Spiritual Power today."
"What kind of method is it?"
"The Spiritual Power Conversion Method."
