I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 72 - 72 070 Creepy

?Chapter 72: 070 Creepy Chapter 72: 070 Creepy She tapped on the writing pad, drawing everyone’s attention.

“Lin An, your emotional fluctuation manifests as anger, and to suppress this anger, one would normally consider ‘sadness.’ However, after research by the Witches’ Assembly, we found that utilizing ‘fear’ to suppress ‘joy’ is a better choice.”

“This is because we only act to inhibit its outward expression, not to suppress the anger itself. This allows the emotion of anger to have enough space to grow, while still leaving us ample room to guide and release it.”

“And the method of release is the ‘Fear-style Softening Skill.’
“The Fear-style Softening Skill can not only suppress ‘joy,’ it can also effectively stimulate ‘anger’ without letting it express itself. This way, anger cannot flare up into rage. Instead, it condenses, growing more and more.”

“By that time, you’ll find that your body is filled with anger, but you are particularly bad at losing your temper.”

“Next, we use the ‘Joy-style Softening Skill’ to assimilate the condensed anger.”

“These are the two Soft Body Skill trainings you need to do during the Emotional Fluctuation Period. And I should mention that each Softening Skill has its own effects: the Fear-style Softening Skill will increase your desire for both sexes and make you feel spirited every day, while the Joy-style Softening Skill will raise your blood pressure and increase bodily vitality.”

“Just guide them normally.” Chen Shuyun skipped the Fear-style without mentioning it, going straight to the Joy-style, “If your body is under strain, just go to the pharmacy and buy some blood pressure medication.”

She pushed her hair behind her ear, looking at the two, “This is quite complex, do you understand?”

Lin An actually did understand. He had always been good at harnessing his spiritual nature to assist his brainpower and had easily grasped the theories Chen Shuyun was explaining, “So Zhou Xiaoxiao needs to first learn the ‘Thought-style’ to inhibit expression before learning the ‘Fear-style’ to assimilate.”

“Yes, that’s right!” Chen Shuyun exhaled in relief, having thought that her explanations might have been in vain.

“Huh?” Zhou Xiaoxiao looked baffled, glancing at Chen Shuyun and then at Lin An with a somewhat lost expression, “I don’t understand.”

“If you don’t understand, just follow the practices, these aren’t things you necessarily need to comprehend. You have the sisters from the Witches’ Assembly to guide you, they will point out what you need to do.” Chen Shuyun was somewhat helpless.

Zhou Xiaoxiao was currently practicing the Thought-style Softening Skill, and it was evident that she had been at it for a while and could practice on her own.

Therefore, Chen Shuyun turned her full attention to Lin An.

“Do you remember what I told you before? When a person is afraid, the anger in their heart naturally dissipates. But this doesn’t mean we aren’t angry; it’s just that the fear suppresses the anger within us.”

“The feature of the Fear-style Softening Skill is just like that. We give the body an exceptionally abnormal behavior, causing it to experience the Uncanny Valley Effect towards you, the soul with conscious control over it.”

Lin An blinked, “Our body? Experiencing the Uncanny Valley Effect because of us?”

Chen Shuyun nodded, pulling out a plastic beverage bottle from the bag she had brought with her, “We are wizards; our bodies are filled with emotions, which is the prerequisite for it to have a strong reaction.”

As she spoke, she opened the bottle and handed it to Lin An, “First, drink this. It’s a secret potion I concocted myself to soften the muscles and bones; otherwise, you would need a much more troublesome and prolonged regimen of stretching and activating muscles.”

The potion in the beverage bottle tasted strong, carrying a very unique pungent smell and an odd fragrance, somewhat reminiscent of gasoline.

Lin An glanced at Chen Shuyun’s white python, listening to her explain the information about this secret potion, nodded, and swallowed it down.

The taste was unsurprisingly horrible, not only extremely spicy to the throat but also had a sticky sensation that caused a surge of nausea, making one want to vomit.

But soon, he felt as though he had walked into a sauna or a steamer, feeling a warm sensation all over, his whole body itching.

He instinctively went to scratch his hand, but felt as if the itch was from inside out; even the bones felt itchy in a place he couldn’t reach to scratch.

“It’s okay, just endure it, it will automatically subside after two hours.”

Chen Shuyun directed his attention to herself, “This secret potion is complicated to make, so let’s not waste time. Now, watch me carefully and remember every step I explain.”

“First, we stand with our legs apart, a bit wider than our shoulders,”
“Then, lean back, and support yourself with your hands on the ground.”

Then, under Lin An’s stunned gaze, her entire upper body bent backwards so much that her hands gently touched the ground, as flexible as a noodle.

This visual effect was simply too shocking, as if the person in front of him had suddenly lost their upper body while the lower half remained upright.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that she had bent into an ‘n’ shape.

This was even more outrageous than the ‘Spirit Cat Spinal Stretching Technique’ taught by Doctor Zhang!

But this was clearly just the beginning, as Chen Shuyun continued her demonstration.

“At this point, you can feel your entire back stretched into a bow, then you continue to pull forward, gently lifting your head.”

“You can use your hands for support, crossing them in front of you.”

“Then…”

Chen Shuyun’s head and hands then emerged from under her hips!

Lin An swallowed hard, thinking to himself—It’s broken, it’s broken, your waist is going to break!

“At this time, our whole body is in a kind of curled back state,” Chen Shuyun’s head by her calves spoke to Lin An, looking particularly frightening.

“When you reach this point and become quite adept, you will feel an extreme sense of insecurity, because this movement seems to completely open us up, exposing everything.”

Yes, more than opening up; it was like being turned inside out.

Lin An looked at Chen Shuyun with an odd expression, then glanced at the coiled and contorted python nearby, and suddenly understood why this witch’s spirit animal was such an image.

“Once you have mastered the basics, place your left hand in front, or your right hand, but I see that you, like me, are right-handed, so you can just do as I do and put your left hand forward.”

“Left hand forward, right hand back.”

“Then we take a step back with our left leg, level with our right hand.”

“Imagine we are a cat, a dog, a cheetah, a tiger, just think of any four-legged animal, of course, I’m thinking of a four-legged snake.”

“Our left hand and right foot represent its forelegs, and our right hand and left leg, its hind legs.”

“Then, we start moving…”

Chen Shuyun was about to start the movement, thought for a moment, then raised her head again to look at Lin An, “You might feel uncomfortable at first, but you must try your best to imitate the animal you are imagining walking, until it becomes smooth, then you’ll feel a hair-raising sensation in your body.”

“That’s when the Soft Body Skill starts to serve its purpose of sorting out emotions.”

As she spoke, she was like a highly arched four-legged snake, twisting left and right and moving forward, eventually starting to run, circling around Lin An, and speeding up more and more.

Thank you…

Lin An’s entire face scrunched up—I’m already feeling the hair-raising sensation; don’t come any closer~~~~~
