Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 617 Speculations on the Innate Skill
Yaro had long known that magic and life force were in conflict.

Just like the Great Monument Smashing Hand, which is a move created based on this principle.

However, Yaro originally thought that magic and life force were as distinct as oil and water, and that although they were incompatible, they could coexist peacefully.

Unexpectedly, they actually exhibited a repulsive force, just like magnets with the same polarity!
According to the book, Anabe did indeed successfully open his dantian using magic, but something went wrong when he tried to open his meridians and acupoints.

The demonic power drawn from the dantian directly matched the life force stored during the cultivation of "Blood Frenzy".

If it were merely a clear distinction, the life force flowing from the heart would at most only clog the meridians, and could be forcibly propelled by more magic.

However, when Anabe was cultivating, he discovered that the magic he channeled was directly deflected by his life force.

And it will trigger a chain reaction, like fission, one becomes two, two become four, four become eight... directly causing widespread decay!
Furthermore, the locations of meridians and acupoints are inherently sensitive, and these chaotic magical forces and vitalitys gave Anabe a real taste of what it meant to feel soreness, numbness, swelling, pain, and itching.

What does it mean to both cry and laugh?

What does it mean to go astray in cultivation?

Fortunately, his magic was weak, so the impact was limited.

Fortunately, "Blood Frenzy" only concentrates life force around the heart, so the rampant magic cannot affect the heart. Since there is no life force in other areas, the influence will not continue to expand.

Fortunately, the Witcher's body is solidified, making it not only tough but also far more resilient than that of an ordinary person.

For all these reasons, Anabe, though he suffered greatly, did not encounter any fatal danger, only some minor aftereffects.

The shock unexpectedly activated the magic within him that solidified his body, causing the facial solidification to worsen further, making his already stiff face appear even more severe.

Seeing this, Yaro glanced up at Anabe, who was sitting upright in front of him... but he didn't see any change.

"When your facial expression is stiff, you can use changes in your eyes to cover it up, use body language to enrich it, or... lighting a cigarette is also a good way."

Anabe said, pulling a cigar from his pocket. "You don't mind if I have one, do you?"

"It's alright, please go ahead."

Arro paused, then sincerely apologized, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Anabe, if only I had discovered this problem sooner..."

"no need to say sorry."

Snapped!
Anabe snapped his fingers, and a faint blue flame ignited at his fingertips.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke.

"As I have said before, the acquisition of any power comes with corresponding dangers."

"Besides, this is hardly dangerous. The pain is less than one percent of the effect of the Witcher's Potion; it's just a minor discomfort."

The smoke swirled in the air, casting a soft glow on that stiff face.

"In fact, the various strange changes that occur in the body also prove that the meridians and acupoints you wrote about are indeed effective. They can indeed use subtle magic or life force to actively mobilize the body and make it achieve the effects we want."

Does this still need verification?
This was a subconscious thought of Yarrow's.

However, he quickly came to his senses.

This certainly needs to be verified for Anabe.

Since he lacked knowledge of his past life, he naturally wouldn't consider 'acupoints' to be a matter of course.

Yaro was somewhat disappointed: "So all you've done these past few days is verify the effects of acupoints and meridians, without gaining anything else?"

"Of course not, you can continue reading the rest of the book."

Anabe gestured with his chin, explaining as Yaro turned the pages of the book:
"You only gave me the 'Swallowing Word Technique' and the 'Blood Word Technique' from the 'Eight Extremes Method' before."

"The Blood Word Technique and the Blood Frenzy Technique are in direct conflict. The life force of the heart cannot be exhausted in a short time, so I can only cultivate half of the Blood Word Technique first."

"Even after only practicing half of the 'Word Swallowing Technique,' I've found that my appetite has indeed improved..."

The reason it's only half a chapter is that the "Eight Extremes Method" originates from "Qi and Blood Frenzy," and the meridians and acupoints used in the "Swallowing Word Technique" partially overlap with those in "Qi and Blood Frenzy." Furthermore, due to the repulsive force between magical power and life force, some similar acupoints cannot be used.

Therefore, although the "Swallowing Words Technique" trains the consumption system and seems to have little to do with the heart, after picking and choosing, only half of the text is left to practice.

Although it is only half a book, it contains a lot of data, including the opening of the dantian, the location of acupoints, and detailed steps on how to guide magic power to circulate in the body.

Multiple sources have confirmed that magic can indeed be used as an energy source for internal energy cultivation, and have also clarified some of the differences in using magic to replace life force.

With this data, not only could Bevin confidently open his dantian, but Yaro himself also gained a great deal.

In particular, after seeing the specific acupoints used in half of the "Swallowing Words Technique," he even had an idea:
"If we optimize it, could we create a martial art that uses both magic and life force?"

For example, what if we designed a structure similar to an electric motor, with magic and life force as the two poles and a yin-yang symbol in the middle? Could we make the yin-yang symbol in the middle rotate continuously by using the repulsive force reaction between magic and life force?
Of course, it can't become a perpetual motion machine.

Referring to a typical electric motor, it involves the conversion of kinetic energy and electrical energy.

In other words: mechanical energy - magnetic field energy - electrical energy.

So the 'yin-yang fish' symbol for the electric motor is:

( ) — ( ) — ( ).

This turned into a fill-in-the-blank question.

Based on known knowledge, after ruling out 'life force' and 'magic power', Yaro's first thought was 'spiritual power'.

So that means:

Mental strength — ( ) — ( ).

The opposite of mental strength should be the body... or rather, physique?

This becomes:

Mental strength — ( ) — Physical strength.

As for the space in the middle, it should refer to that 'repulsive force'...

"and many more!"

Yaro reviewed the blanks he had just filled in.

"Mental strength and physical strength?"

hiss!
Doesn't this mean that if this martial art is truly created, one can directly leap from 'physical strength' to 'spiritual power'?

A divine skill that leads directly to the 'innate' level?

—Innate Skill?

Although this information has not been verified, it is at least a direction, and it can already be considered very profitable.

If it really works.

So once we understand what 'repulsive force' really is, we can truly achieve 'refining essence into qi' and 'refining qi into spirit,' and it will no longer be just an empty and vague theory!

Even if you can't figure it out, it doesn't matter. You can directly use skill points to unlock the "Innate Skill" based on the structure of the "motor".

At that time, you can directly use the "Innate Skill" to break through.

Alternatively, one can use the complete training method provided by the system to deduce the conditions for 'repulsive force' and then break through the limits on their own.

The choice is entirely in your own hands.

And this is just one of the surprises...
