Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Chapter 472: Progress

( Real Life, The Arc Ship )

Leo had been diligently practicing the mind meditation scroll for nearly 20 days now, and the results were beginning to show.

On the first day of practice, he had been like a novice driver struggling with a manual car, causing it to jerk and stall every few minutes. Now, however, he had progressed to the point where he could drive for several minutes without stalling, and the jerking had significantly diminished.

Though he was far from being a seasoned driver, lacking the experience to predict road gaps or compete with other drivers in a race, he had reached a stage where he could confidently travel from point A to point B without supervision, which was a notable achievement in its own right.

[ Too fast, please slow down ]

The scroll warned him, as Leo exhaled sharply and controlled the flow of mana in his body to slow it down ever so slightly.

The red dot on the scroll slowed down when Leo did this, and the warning that the scroll was displaying soon disappeared.

‘Third turn to the left…. second right…. first left,’ Leo thought as he channeled the red dot of mana in his body in a way that it exactly followed the path shown by the mind meditation scroll.

Time Since Last Mistake : 00:05:12 ]

After the speeding warning, Leo managed to go 5 minutes without making a single mistake, while his non-stop session duration reached a new personal high score of 1 hour 4 minutes, without him needing a break.

Unfortunately, at that point Leo’s focus began to waver as sweat beads formed on his forehead and he soon made a mistake, which broke his morale to continue.

“Phew! 15 minutes break–” Leo muttered to himself, laying flat down on his back, as he felt proud of himself for breaking his previous record from yesterday.

He was supposed to meditate non-stop for 6 hours without taking any breaks in between, however, so far he could only go a little above 1 hour before needing 15 minutes of break, and a total of 5 breaks to complete the 6 hour long daily routine.

This was already much better than the previous week where he needed to take 10 breaks to do the same, as he was slowly but surely improving a lot.

At first, the benefits of the mind-meditation technique were not evident to him as he did not understand if he was actually improving in any tangible way or not, however, his doubts were soon dispelled when he noticed the improved brain capacity of his mind.

If he were asked a month ago as to what he ate for breakfast a week before that, he would probably not remember what he had, however, this seemed to have changed.

His memory was sharper than ever before with him being able to recall every detail of every day he had spent since he had started practicing the mind meditation technique.

Not only could he recall what he had for breakfast a week ago now, but he could also recall exactly how it tasted, as if he willed for his mind to recall that taste, he could actually force his taste buds to salivate and feel like they were having that same dish at the moment.

However, improved memory was not the only benefit of him practicing the mind meditation technique, as faster problem speed was also something that he had achieved.

Leo was not a super genius student in school who could perform complex multiplication and division problems off the top of his head. However, just like every other average student. He knew the method of how to do it and given a pen, paper and some time, he could perform any division or multiplication necessary.

All this changed now however, as when he challenged his brain now to solve the division problem of two large numbers, he could do it accurately within seconds without having the need to use pen and paper.

It was almost like his brain’s processing speed had increased significantly and while he could not notice these changes in day-to-day operations, his body had actually become a much more efficient unit than what it was before.

His reflexes were faster, his threat analysis was faster, his critical thinking had improved and so had his ability to control individual strands of his muscles.

If before Leo could not control some of the muscles present on his back, or move every single finger on his leg individually, he could do that with ease now as he seemed to have mastered the blow flow and muscle map of his own body, becoming extremely aware of the potential hidden behind each muscle individually and as a group.

Unfortunately, he had no one to spar with in the real world to test his heightened abilities, and he was quarantined within Terra Nova Online.

Had it not been for this confinement, Leo would have been able to see for himself just how much stronger he had become, and this was but the start of how much of his latent potential this meditation scroll could unlock, as once Leo gained enough mastery of the scroll, it would start improving his comprehension abilities, helping him decipher details that he previously never paid attention to.

The mind-meditation technique was best coupled with Leo practicing his in-game skills alongside it to gain maximum benefits, however, unaware of this, Leo spent most of his days swamped with the Barony’s work instead of focusing on his skill improvement.

Nonetheless, Leo’s progress with the scroll was still admirable and he was on-track to master it within 6 months if nothing unexpected ruined his progress now.
