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

The invitation was filled with dense mental messages, but Lorne didn't waste time checking them. After obtaining the storage bag containing the Whispers of the Deep Cold, he sent the message to the invitation to leave the auction.

This auction has already cost me over 100 merit points, leaving me with only 310 merit points. I still have a long time to train in the Wizard Tower.

Using various auxiliary cultivation facilities requires merit points. If there is no way to earn income, it is best to save the merit points for now.

His consciousness wavered again, and this time he returned directly to the Shadow Hall.

A peculiar method... Lorne glanced around at the surrounding misty darkness.

I'm a bit curious about how the auction will be conducted; it's similar to teleportation, but with significant differences...

Using the teleportation array, he left the Shadow Hall and went to the Training Hall, where he used 0.1 merit points to obtain one hour's access to a low-level training room.

There were still four or five intact custom-made dummies on the ground. Lorne took out a simple storage bag containing the "Whispers of the Deep Cold".

Besides the magic sword, the storage bag also contained a spiritual imprint that detailed the materials used to craft the Whisper of the Deep Cold, its overall structure and function, as well as the corresponding cost.

The blade of this magic sword is forged from dark, cold iron, a material that is not a natural metal but is made by melting cold iron with various ice-attribute materials.

The overall color is a deep, dark blue-black, with subtle, natural patterns resembling ice crystal fractals.

Under the soft light, it glowed with a faint, ethereal blue light, flickering constantly, like it was breathing slowly.

The hilt is wrapped in Nightmare Beast leather, providing an excellent grip.

The handguards are designed with fine ice crystals extending outwards, layered and surrounding each other, with an ice core embedded in the very center.

The core function of Whisper of the Deep is mental ice explosion and mind freeze, which can directly attack the soul and mind.

The requirement is to leave a mark on the enemy beforehand, that is, a wound, and then use mental power to activate the ice core, which can cause an ice explosion effect on the enemy's mental sea and temporarily freeze their mind.

What devastated Lorne was that Whisper of the Deep Cold required the infusion of ice magic to use its abilities.

Magic is the means of manipulating its functions, while mental power is the medium that triggers it.

Moreover, this magic sword comes at the cost of mental corruption. With prolonged use, one's mind is easily affected by the icy aura within it, and one's personality gradually becomes cold and indifferent.

The drawbacks still exist.

But since I've already bought it, and it cost 120 merit points, I can only try to find a way to solve the problem's drawbacks.

"I'll take some time to go to the trading area and buy a few magic crystals..." Lorne gripped the hilt of the sword, Whisper of the Deep, ready to test it out.

A slight stinging and cool sensation came from my palm.

Compared to the Zhu Huo sword, this magic sword is nearly three times heavier, weighing a hundred jin (approximately 50 kg).

For a first-tier wizard with an ordinary physique who has not practiced body tempering techniques, simply lifting it up is a problem without using magic.

Moreover, it can be used in battle.

With his strength of 9 points, it was somewhat difficult to swing and chop without unleashing the power of the Three-Fold Force.

Lorne couldn't help but wonder what the person competing with him for the magic sword at the auction looked like, even though it was a cold female voice. But with the shadows separating them, who knew what the other person looked like?

Maybe it's a tough woman like Gunnar, who's actually trying to take the magic sword from me...

A cold glint flashed, a chilling whisper pierced the air, and the incredibly sharp blade left a shallow scratch on the specially made dummy.

Lorne gripped the sword with both hands and somewhat reluctantly attempted sword techniques such as slashing, thrusting, and side swinging.

The training room was suddenly filled with a cacophony of sounds.

There were no real people present for him to practice on, so he couldn't directly experience the power of the whispers of the deep cold.

The main damage of this magic sword is not physical cutting, but mental damage.

Before the ice core is activated, the main difference between this magic sword and other magic swords is that it is heavier and sharper.

It does not provide a significant boost to sword techniques or sword skills.

As for the experiment, Lorne had absolutely no conditions to use this magic sword to amplify the power of spells.

The most important point is magic power, and the second is that he has not practiced any ice-related spells.

After understanding the general situation, Lorne wisely put it away; its true power could only be understood in actual combat.

Overall, the Whisper of the Cold is still a bit cumbersome.

If you cannot leave a mark on the enemy during combat, you cannot trigger the Mental Ice Explosion, which will result in subsequent mind freeze.

Fortunately, I still have 3 attribute points left.

Lorne expands the attribute panel.

[Attributes: Constitution 9, Strength 9, Agility 10, Spirit 12, Magic 0]

A little more power was added.

Once the side effects subsided, the 9 next to Strength on the panel changed to 10.

After taking out the Whisper of the Deep again and getting used to it in the training room for a while, Lorne left the training hall and took the teleportation array to the trading area when the time was up.

I browsed through many stalls before finally buying all the items I needed.

Ten ice-attribute magic crystals, a bottle of calming potion, and a scroll to help stabilize the mind—all costing a total of two merit points.

Lorne returned to his residence and glanced at the compass hanging on the wall; the needle was about to complete a full circle.

There was only one day left before the task of leading the team was assigned.

It would be a lie to say that I'm not worried at all.

Over the past twenty days, the Heavenly River True Qi has advanced from the stage of Qi-drawing Star Rotation to the stage of Star Core Condensation, and will also enter the Nine Appearances of the Wandering Dragon.

I'm trying my best to increase my martial arts experience points, and I've gained 3 attribute points.

The only drawback is that the problem of physical constitution conflict has not yet been resolved, and there has been no progress in integrating martial arts into wizard training.

Do your best, and then it's up to fate...

Lorne has made the necessary preparations and is ready to add the remaining 2 attribute points to his Spirit.

Unfortunately, there were too many items in the Moonlight Bag, and it took a lot of time to search through them.

What is this?

He took a blood-stained booklet out of his moon pouch, but for a moment he had no recollection of it.

After flipping through a few pages, I remembered the origin of this booklet.

This is a body tempering technique, which I found in the simple storage bag of the big man after killing him.

At the time, the situation at Wall Manor was urgent. After looting Lorne, they threw him into their moonbag and didn't pay him any more attention. They forgot about him afterwards.

Fortunately, I unexpectedly found this body tempering technique today.

Thinking of the Han man's powerful physique, Lorne was naturally very interested in this.

If it can improve physical fitness without any serious side effects, then it's worth trying to cultivate.

After spending some time browsing through all the content, he gained a certain understanding of this body tempering method.

This body tempering technique is called "The First Flame of Ten Thousand Bloods." Its fundamental concept is to draw upon the violent aura within the bloodline of extraordinary beings, forcefully infuse it into the body, and then resolve it through extremely rigorous training.
