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

Lorne has never activated a rune, but Lauren has said that it can be activated by injecting mental energy into it.

While using mental power for activation, guidance should be provided, and the goal should be clearly defined.

When studying the Black Sun Meditation Method, Lorne also mobilized his mental energy; all he needed to do was find a familiar feeling.

But with the horse running, it's not safe to be distracted by activating the rune.

Lorne looked at Nina, who was lying across him and pinned to the horse's back.

Nina stared at him in disbelief: "You're unaffected by fire elemental corruption?"

"I'm naturally more heat-resistant." Lorne handed the reins to her. "You control the horse, and I'll cast protective runes on it."

"Okay," Nina said, forcing herself to stay upright.

Perhaps due to her light body and agile movements, she braced herself against Lorne's thigh with her hand and sat upright again as the horse moved at high speed.

Lorne shifted his position back a bit to make room.

Only after handing the rope to Nina did he take out the protective rune.

This is a stone the size of an egg, with a character engraved on it, radiating white light.

Lorne closed his eyes, searching for the scene of practicing the Black Sun Meditation Technique in the cabin.

This time, there's no need to use mental energy to construct a vessel for meditation; all that's needed is to infuse mental energy into the runes.

Soon, in the space of consciousness, the figure of a boy slowly emerged.

He had straight brown hair, brown eyes, and a handsome face, and he was holding a shiny stone.

It was Lorne.

He channeled his spiritual energy into the runes, and the stone in his hand vanished, turning into a ball of light.

Next comes the guidance... Lorne's consciousness space expands further, encompassing Nina and the brown horse.

Using his spiritual power, he lifted the ball of light and directed it towards the brown horse.

Faint ripples reappeared, isolating the fire element from the outside.

Lorne also felt the ripples constantly drawing away his spiritual energy, increasing in intensity as the fire element concentration rose and decreasing in intensity as the concentration fell.

It's as if a connection has been established between the two, allowing them to sense each other.

I don't know how long he can hold out... Lorne's mental strength is only 2 points, which is pitifully low.

The fire element gathered by the elemental riot is quite terrifying, and it's hard to say how long the protective shield against fire-attribute erosion can last.

But it certainly won't last long.

Lorne opened his eyes and saw that Nina had stopped controlling the brown horse.

"A madman!" Lorne exclaimed, utterly bewildered. "If we don't run now, we'll be stuck here forever!"

He had assumed that Nina would be able to control the brown horse and escape in the face of such a terrifying scene.

"Where to run?" Nina asked with a hint of mockery. "The elemental upheaval is already underway..."

Lorne looked back, bewildered.

The exploding sparks plummeted to the ground like meteorites.

Boom! — A violent shockwave unleashed waves of heat.

"Listen!" Lorne grabbed Nina's collar. "Whatever you're thinking, at least don't drag me into this."

"We can't escape the storm's reach now." Nina pointed to the black horse struggling to run in the distance. "Lauren is a wizard's apprentice; perhaps he still has a way."

Lorne clenched his fists. He hated the feeling of entrusting his life and fortune to someone else.

The first time was when he faced sacrifice, and he pinned his hopes for survival on his father's mercy, but his biological father ignored Lorne's pleas.

The second time is now.

There won't be a third time... Lorne swore in his heart.

He has more faith in himself than in others trying to help him out of his predicament.

A wave of heat rolled in and quickly engulfed the two men and the brown horse.

"Hiss!" — Startled, the brown horse reared up and let out a sharp neigh.

Lorne had assumed that with the blessing of [Breath of Nature], there wouldn't be any problems.

Until that scorching heat swept over my entire body.

As if scalded by hot water, Lorne's face contorted in pain.

Fire elemental affinity and resistance seemed to lose their effect at this moment.

How could this be? Lorne was puzzled, involuntarily recalling what Lauren had said earlier:

"The abundance of fire element is due to the dissipation of fire-attribute magic, not an open flame."

Lorne didn't understand the relationship between mental power and magic power, and similarly, the relationship between fire element and fire-attribute magic power.

But as the heatwave swept over him, Lorne felt as if his meridians had been opened, and some speculations began to surface in his mind.

Fire element is not the same as heat waves, but rather, like spiritual energy, it is a raw material.

A heat wave, which is air with very high temperatures, can be understood as a form of heatwave.

In the fire element attribute zone, the temperature increase is not perceptible, but rather due to the excessively high concentration of fire element affecting perception.

Lorne felt he was close to the correct answer. He would wait until he fully understood these points before improving his mental attributes.

You're not far from becoming a true wizard apprentice!

Wizards are not called wizards because they have strong mental power or can cast spells.

Rather, they are called wizards because of their analysis of unconventional phenomena and their pursuit of truth.

Lorne gained a deeper understanding of the so-called "wizards".

In times of crisis, one's thoughts become clearer than usual.

Lorne felt that his understanding of wizards grew much faster after entering the resource zone than when he stayed indoors and worked in isolation.

It's not bad to slowly master the Black Sun Meditation method in a cabin, but it's never as profound as experiencing the world firsthand.

The process of perceiving this world is also key to embarking on the path of wizard training!

During Lorne's brief moment of distraction, Rudolf and Lauren caught up.

"Giddy up!" Nina spurred the brown horse into a gallop.

"Lauren, do you have any solutions to this elemental riot?" Nina rode her brown horse alongside the black horse.

Lauren was holding a book, flipping through it repeatedly: "How could this be?"

It is "The History of Elemental Disasters".

"Without external interference or energy tides..." Lauren couldn't understand: "Elemental riots shouldn't happen in theory."

"Lauren!" Rudolf snapped, "Right now I need you to figure out how to save yourselves, not to get hung up on the cause of the elemental upheaval!"

Clearly, Lauren was a qualified wizard apprentice, even on the verge of death, she did not forget to explore the cause of the elemental riot anomaly.

The more critical the moment, the less one should panic... Lorne calmed down and began to think.

He wasn't prepared to place all his hopes on Lauren.

He carefully recalled the process from entering the fire elemental zone to facing the fire elemental riot.

From the moment Lauren handed him the protective rune, to the moment the group arrived at the edge of the fire-elemental zone...

"How could this happen? How could this happen!" Lauren was on the verge of madness, her only thought being to find out the cause of the elemental upheaval.

"Lauren! Lauren!" Rudolph called out his name, but to no avail.

The excessive depletion of her mental energy, coupled with her obsession with the elemental riots, led Lauren to immerse herself in her own world.

At the critical moment, Lorne became alert, and a dark, charcoal forest appeared in his mind.

Underground cavity!
