Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts

Chapter 131: Movement Techniques, The Academic Old Man

Let's return to the choice of martial arts.

After careful consideration, Lorne decided to choose a movement technique, as his offensive methods were sufficient for the time being and there was no need to supplement them.

In a battle where every second is crucial, effectively avoiding damage can create greater opportunities and determine life or death in critical moments.

Body movement, simply put, is the control of body posture, position, and trajectory, and a comprehensive manifestation of whole-body coordination, breath circulation, and mental perception.

It complements the effect provided by the yellow sand pendant perfectly.

The selection process lasted for several hours...

Movement techniques that are too simple are not very useful, while those that are too profound are far beyond one's ability.

After browsing through the descriptions of dozens or even hundreds of movement techniques, Lorne, feeling somewhat overwhelmed, picked out two movement techniques from the martial arts library.

-【Body Techniques-】

...

[Free and Easy Wandering]

Body movement is a graceful and unrestrained art, in harmony with the energy of heaven and earth, achieving unimpeded freedom.

"Riding the righteousness of Heaven and Earth, controlling the transformations of the six qi, one can roam freely in the boundless realm."

...

[Nine Dragons Appear]

Body techniques, the art of ruling emperors, allow for a variety of transformations in an instant, enabling one to appear and disappear at will, unpredictable and ever-changing.

"The hidden dragon should not be used; the dragon appears in the field; or it leaps in the abyss; the flying dragon is in the sky."

[...]

...

Lorne was familiar with the origins of the two movement techniques, but he still struggled to choose between them.

One aspect is the combination of "power" and "change," like a true dragon weaving through the clouds, with countless forms and unpredictable transformations.

The other approach is not about forcing things, but about "non-action" and "compliance," emphasizing freedom and unrestraint.

The core concepts of Xiaoyao You and Youlong Jiu are now slightly different.

Control, authority, and mastery of rules contrast with detachment, freedom, and conformity to nature.

After pondering his fighting style and the driving force that had sustained him all this time, Lorne finally made his choice.

[Do you wish to redeem the martial art 'Nine Appearances of the Wandering Dragon'?]

【whether】

【Pioneer Point-1】

[Youlong Jiu has now been redeemed]

Dense text appeared, detailing the core principles, cultivation methods, and general outline of the Nine Manifestations of the Wandering Dragon, among other things...

The reason Lorne chose to choose the Nine Dragons Appearing is that he believes the underlying logic of this world is: struggle!

Ordinary people struggle in the mud, seeking a way to survive; apprentices suffer under cruel rules, hoping to rise above their circumstances; wizards scheme and kill each other, competing for resources and status.

You either get controlled by the rules and disappear into the vast sea of ​​people, or you control the rules and stand above everyone else!

Lorne has never had the right to choose, never, so how could he accept the carefree and passive attitude of the wanderer?

I have been fighting ever since I was born!

To find a way to survive in the cracks, to learn to bow one's head in the narrow places, and to hone the oppression one suffers into a sharp blade that can be fiercely stabbed at the world!

"Hidden dragon, do not use it," that's exactly my current state... Lorne calmly hid the panel, stood up, and his eyes gleamed.

These days won't last much longer...

...

......

In a secluded room on a floor of the Wizard Tower, several old men in somewhat precarious mental states were gathered around a sphere emitting a ghostly blue light.

"Alala, what is this!" An old man with dark eyes and white hair suddenly jumped up and down, excitedly waving his arms and legs.

"Should we capture this little guy, dissect him, and study him properly?" The white-haired old man looked fascinated, his loose skin covered with rings of black spots, resembling a solar eclipse.

"Victor, your idea is too cruel," another emaciated old man, who was sucking his fingers, immediately stopped him.

How could they treat a mere apprentice like that? Dissecting a living person is utterly disrespectful to humanity!

"His soul should be annihilated first with mental spikes, then his body should be cut open painlessly... *pop*"

Dissecting a living person is inhumane, but dissecting a corpse is not.

The blue sphere revealed a scene: a handsome young man.

Brown hair, brown eyes, and his expression seemed to be deep in thought.

The old men weren't focused on the boy's appearance or expression; their collective gaze was fixed on the boy's...abdomen.

The image of the abdomen was slightly magnified, with lines of analysis alongside it, revealing the unknown.

What was being analyzed was a circular vortex, which was constantly rotating in the image.

"Thank goodness I kept up with the information Black Eyes gathered about Black Tower wizards, otherwise this interesting little thing would have been lost in the database!"

The third old man, a slightly overweight fat man, held his head high, giving off a boastful air in front of the other old men.

The other old men paid him no attention at all.

"Arrest them directly. We have the right to dissect and study them!"

"First annihilate the soul, then erase the will!"

"Victor, do we need to reason with them? Arrest them!"

"Annihilate the soul!"

"Arrest them!"

"..."

The white-haired old man and the thin old man started arguing because they disagreed.

Saliva splattered everywhere, and blood surged on their two aged faces.

"Alright, everyone, be quiet."

The only seemingly normal-looking old man among the group interrupted the argument between the two.

It worked perfectly; just one sentence was enough to make the skinny old man go back to sucking his fingers and to shut the white-haired old man up.

"We can't go on like before. The tower master is increasingly dissatisfied with our academic approach and has warned me many times to be more moderate."

"clear!"

"Understood... *kiss*"

"clear!"

The three old men said in unison.

"Let's observe for a few years before making a decision. After all, time is the last thing we need."

"I can't wait..." The white-haired old man found it hard to suppress his inner impulse.

"Whether it's the violent aura originating from one's own bloodline, or the method of simultaneously gathering stellar energy particles and water elemental energy particles, both are well worth studying."

The gaunt wizard nodded in agreement:

"Wizards manipulate external energy, and while it's not common for them to absorb external energy into their bodies, it does happen. However, I've never seen anyone maintain unstable energy particles within their bodies for an extended period..."

"Looks like we old folks are outdated," the fat old man remarked, his gaze sweeping over the black spots on the white-haired old man's body as if he remembered something.

"By the way, Victor," he asked with some interest, "I heard there's a cure for your 'Black Death'?"

"I'm definitely getting old." The white-haired old man agreed with the fat man's point of view, shaking his head self-deprecatingly: "There's only a sliver of hope."

"Who could have imagined that an apprentice, with limited conditions and resources, could complete such a great concept about 'Black Sun'?"

"This is a problem I tried to solve before, but ultimately gave up on. I never expected that my apprentice would find a glimmer of hope in solving it..."

The white-haired old man named Victor was overwhelmed with emotion, somewhat incredulous, but his face was filled with surprise and joy.

"This must be a precious gift from the great Lord!"
