Chapter 15: Choosing an Element
"Shysha, how does it feel to feel the energy of the world? I can't feel anything "Liu Yang had his eyes closed for a few minutes in an attempt to feel the energies of the world. But he felt nothing.
"Liu Yang, do you really think this is that fast? It took me a month to feel the energies of the world. You are only doing this for a few minutes, have a little patience. Even the greatest geniuses need some time to do this." Shysha explained.
"How long did it take the geniuses to do that?" Liu Yang knows that in the world there are people who are considered geniuses.
These people are above the others in terms of their ability to do a certain task. They are already born with the gift of doing this.
"One second. I heard that in Europe, a child was born to a Shamans family. At the age of five-years-old, this child started training, his first second of the world's energy perception training, he was able to feel it" Shysha commented. She knows a lot about these families.
This child's story is well known in Europe.
"One second? And at the five-years-old? Isn't that too fast?" Liu Yang was shocked to hear Shysha's reports.
For Liu Yang, a month was not a long time, but a second. This time is like the world record and no one can break that record unless that person feels the energy of the world inside his mother's belly.
"That is why this child is known as a great genius in Europe with unlimited futures. If this child's family does not spoil him, he will have a great future ahead of him" Shysha has seen many young people spoiled by wealthy families.
Spoiled young people did not have a promising future because they did not know how to do almost anything without the help of others. Even though they are strong because of the resources received by their families, they have no experience in dealing with dangerous situations.
"Ohh ..." Liu Yang understood her words.
In the novels he has read, many young people were ruined by being spoiled.
Liu Yang put that matter aside and tried to focus again, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't feel the energy of the world.
So, his last option is to read the technique manual he received from Shysha.
"Shaman Basic Training Manual"
"Shamans are people who feel the energies of nature and turn that energy into power." This is the first sentence that summarizes the entire manual.
"Shamans use the five basic elements of nature and transform them into power."
"Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lightning."
"To feel one of these energies, you need to feel it running through your body."
"Meditate and feel"
These were the words written in the first chapter of the manual. Liu Yang didn't need to look any further because if he doesn't even know the first chapter, he won't be able to understand the rest of the manual.
"Meditate and feel ..." Liu Yang murmured. He did not open his eyes and continued to meditate in an attempt to feel the energies of the world.
Half an hour later ...
"What happened? Did I end up sleeping? This is really difficult ... "Liu Yang opened his eyes and saw that he was lying on the floor with little drool falling from his mouth. He actually fell asleep while trying to meditate.
For someone who has never done this before, this is normal.
"Liu Yang, do you need any help?" Shysha saw what happened and laughed at the scene. She had never seen anyone sleep while meditating.
"Shysha, do you have any way to help me?" Liu Yang really needed some tips on the subject. She is the best person to ask why Shysha already does this type of training.
"Liu Yang, have you forgotten what is written in the manual?" Shysha also read the manual before, but she has been training for a long time and chose not to follow the Shamans' path.
"I read it, but I didn't understand how I'm going to feel the elements inside my body. The part of feeling the energy of nature is a little abstract and I don't know what to do" Liu Yang had a lot of doubts about the things that were written in the manual.
"Liu Yang, what would you think if I say that you need to feel the power of the elements with your body?" Shysha asked in a mysterious tone.
"Feeling the power with my body? Would that be abstract or concrete?" Liu Yang realized that there were some interpretations on this subject.
"Either"
"Well… The abstract would be to feel the energies that are in the world, but I don't know how to do that. The concrete way would be for my body to physically feel these energies, so I would have to burn, get wet, or be electrocuted." Liu Yang thought for a while before answering.
"So you already know the answer." Shysha commented.
"Is this serious? Shysha, do I really need to do this?" Liu Yang found it crazy to feel the energies of the elements with his own body.
This is very, very dangerous.
"If you can't feel the energy of the elements by tomorrow, I think the best way for you to feel the energy is through your own body. Did you forget? Your own body has these five energies. The fire is heat, the water is blood, the earth is your bones, the wind is air, and lightning is your body's electrical connections. But for you to feel these things is a little complicated, the easiest way to do it is to use external ways"
"External ways? Shysha, do you want me to set my body on fire? Or get wet?" Liu Yang understood what these external forces would be.
"Yes. Basically, this is it. Liu Yang, you may not know it, but many families of Shamans and Druids in Europe, Africa, and America use this method to help their members discover their powers. But normally, they choose only one element, the other four can be learned more easily in the future." Shysha explained. She has seen this scene many times.
"But isn't there an element that is easier to learn than the others? Because fire is extremely dangerous, I will have to set my own body on fire. The other elements should be similar, I think the only one that is safer is water because I can stay in a bathtub with water" Liu Yang commented hesitantly. He understood very well the meaning of feeling the elements with his own body.
"Yes. It has some elements that are easier to learn than the others, because of this, there are many novice Shamans of one element than the others."
"Shysha, what element do you think I should try? You must know more about it than I do." Liu Yang could only trust Shysha in this matter, she knows much more than he does.
"As you are trusting me on this matter, I will help you. For you, the best element to get you started is lightning"
