Basic Skills
Youth pulled a piece of meat into mouth. Smilingly asked:
"What? This just came first day. Then can't wait?"
"That instead didn't." Chen Ling paused, "However here. I seemingly somewhat too relaxed... I want to find a bit of matter to do do."
Chen Ling said is truth. On one hand he very enjoyed here's comfort. On other hand he again felt too comfortable is wasting time. Most important is. "ăThe Audienceă"s moreover didn't want to see him so comfortable. If again continuing like this. ăExpectation Valueă again should begin sliding down.
"Rest assured. As ăMasteră won't let your days too easy passing."
Youth waved hand, "However. With your current foundation. Wanting to learn secret method still lacked some... From tomorrow starting. You then follow several ăSenior Brotherăs ăSenior Sisterăs practicing basic skills ba."
The remaining several ăSenior Brotherăs ăSenior Sisterăs in front of eyes a light up. One after another looking towards Chen Ling. Seemingly somewhat expectant.
"ăMasteră. ăLittle Junior Brotheră from right now starting practicing basic skills. Will it be too late?" Ning Ruyu consideringly asked.
"Also isn't letting him practice to the same standard as you guys. Only need teaching him some essentials then good... He can learn how much. Then look at his own comprehension ba."
"Then just right. We here four people. One person teach ăLittle Junior Brotheră one kind."
"Tomorrow from who starting?"
"From me ba." ăMo Jueă suddenly opening mouth, "From my here starting."
"Okay, then just like this said good. Tomorrow morning first go to ăFourth Brotheră there. Then afternoon go find ăSecond Brotheră. Next..." Not waiting Chen Ling opening mouth. Four ăSenior Brotherăs ăSenior Sisterăs then began independently arranging up. A while then taking Chen Ling's schedule arranged fully packed.
Basic skills?
Chen Ling although somewhat not understanding. But still nodded head. Accepting every ăSenior Brotherăs ăSenior Sisterăs' arrangement.
Everyone finished eating after. Then holding respective bowl and chopsticks returning to room resting.
Before leaving. Youth patted Chen Ling's shoulder. A stream of inexplicable ăAuraă winding on Chen Ling's body.
"As ăMasteră already took ăAncient Vault of the Drama Pathă's authority opened giving you. Here vast majority parts places. You all can unimpeded. However deepest place's those several pieces of areas. Best still don't approach."
"Yes, ăMasteră."
Along with ăAuraă's winding. Chen Ling as if able to feel ăAncient Vault of the Drama Pathă's existence. It just like is an enormous monster situated amidst nothingness. Straight until this moment. Chen Ling only then realized this place exactly has how big... Approaching endless's big. His ăAuraă standing here. Just like a grain of dust flashing amidst starry sky.
"This exactly is 'ăDivine Dao Ancient Repositoryă' mo..." Chen Ling muttering to himself.
Night color gradually thickening.
Chen Ling anew laying on bed. Looking at flashing clustered stars outside window. Slowly closed eyes...
He fell into deep sleep.
Rustlingââ
Chen Ling slept passing don't know how long. A burst of slight movement transmitted coming. He abruptly opened eyes!
"Who?!"
Chen Ling rapidly from bed sat up. One hand ăStagecraftă generally taking gun holding in hand. ăJudgment Courtă at any time ready to activate.
Starlight from outside window sprinkling down. Illuminating dim room's one corner. His surrounding empty and vast.
ăAudience Expectation Value +1ă
Chen Ling gaze looking around all around. Moreover didn't find enemies. Eyebrows unconsciously wrinkled up.
Is hallucination?
No, not right... Just now definitely had what thing emitted sound.
Is enemy ma? But here but is ăAncient Vault of the Drama Pathă. What enemy can sneak into here?
Chen Ling walked down bed. Holding gun vigilantly inside room checked one time. Didn't find any abnormalities. Subsequently slow steps towards room door walking.
He one hand gripped door handle. Deeply breathed a mouthful of air after. Instantly took it open. Muzzle in hand pointing towards outside door!
Whooshââ
Cold evening wind from outside door rolling in. On top of vast and empty grassland empty without one person. Only having clustered stars soundlessly flashing.
Chen Ling slowly put down muzzle. Gaze like found something. Lowering head looking towards under feet...
Door mouth. Displaying a vase of flowers.
On top of white porcelain vase. Slantedly inserting a bunch of huge and bright yellow flowers. Fully having washbasin size. Rose generally's petals blooming amidst dark night. Emitting faint luster. A burst of delicate fragrance pouncing nose coming.
Seeing this flower's instant. Chen Ling somewhat absent-minded. After all this thing no matter how looking all don't like flower bunch able to grow on Earth... Full of inexplicable magical feeling.
Chen Ling doubtfully taking it picked up. Found under this branch of flower bunch. Still hanging a piece of small ăNoteă. Following evening wind gently swaying. On top using crooked strokes. Written three characters:
ââSorry(･â˘Ě︿â˘Ě･)
Chen Ling blanked.
He gaze swept past all around. Didn't see any figure. Grassland under night sky dead silent a piece.
Chen Ling only could take gaze anew fall on "Sorry" three characters top. Seeming to be deep in thought:
"This is..."
...
Second day, early morning.
Chen Ling according to last night's arranged "class schedule". Taking the lead arriving at ăMo Jueă's house door mouth.
Still haven't had time to knock door. Door then from inside opened. ăMo Jueă seeing Chen Ling outside door. Slightly smiled:
"Morning, ăLittle Junior Brotheră."
"Morning, ăSenior Brotheră."
Chen Ling walked into room inside. Found courtyard already was tidied up cleanly. Flowers grass trees temporarily not discussing. Most conspicuous center position displaying two chairs. A long table. On table even ahead of time steeped good hot tea. Tea fragrance gently drifting and scattering in wind.
Chen Ling walked to beside chair. Doubtful asking: "ăSenior Brotheră. Today we learn what?"
"Traditional opera one lineage. Having four major basic skills. Respectively are ăSingingă ăSpeakingă ăActingă ăFightingă." ăMo Jueă taking both hands carrying behind back. "Today ăSenior Brotheră teaching you's. Exactly is ăSingingă."
"ăSingingă?"
Chen Ling blanked a bit.
ăSinging, Speaking, Acting, and Acrobaticsă four major basic skills. Chen Ling naturally is knowing. He even personally saw some ăOpera Performerăs practicing. But those are for going on stage singing opera prepared. And his current situation completely having no relation.
"Why wanting to learn these?" Chen Ling doubtful asking, "I moreover don't plan to go sing opera ah?"
ăMo Jueă smiled, "If ăOrdinary Personă practicing these. Truly is for going on stage singing opera. But when you stepped onto ăPath of the Actoră after. These basic skills bringing then not only are these..."
You can know. ăPath of the Actoră's core abilities one of is what?"
Chen Ling shook head.
"Using Performance's belief feeling. Influencing reality." ăMo Jueă continued saying, "Regardless if my ability, or ăFirst Senior Brotheră's ability. All are this ability's extension... And belief feeling. Is able to acquired cultivating."
"Majority ăPath of the Actoră's ăThird Tieră skill all is ăSoul Tracingă. Exactly is through 'acting's belief feeling. Exerting out a part of ăThe Roleă's strength. Although this strength extremely little. But following ăRankă's growth. Also will continuously climb... At the same time. We also will under belief feeling's effect perfectly substitute into ăThe Roleă. Subconsciously imitating every move and action. Words and deeds demeanor and so on. Only arriving at this step. Only considered 'perfect disguise'."
"Grasping ăSoul Tracingă's ăPath of the Actoră. Once beginning 'acting'. Then again hard being distinguished coming out."
"ăLittle Junior Brotheră your acting's standard although not bad. But distance 'perfect disguise' still having gap. If is relationship extremely close person. Or observation ability extremely strong existence. Still able to one glance taking you recognizing coming out."
