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

"Thump! Thump!" Lorne could hear the muffled thumping in his chest.

He had never felt so powerful, far surpassing his previous life by several times.

Now, Lorne is 100% confident that he can unleash the complete Triple Strike without suffering any backlash.

The final layer of the Three-Layer Strength is called: Internal Organ Strength.

The heart is the core organ that powers blood flow, and its efficient operation is the foundation of life.

The "internal organ strength" involves allowing the energy to penetrate the internal organs and then triggering a third burst through breathing techniques.

Its power amplification is two to three times greater than that of muscle tremors plus bone rumbling.

With the amplification from activating [Boiling Blood] and the Triple Force, Lorne felt that the solid rock beneath his feet was not unbreakable.

The improvement in his strength, physique, and agility attributes caused his physical strength to increase dramatically.

Lorne lowered his feet, slightly bent his knees, concentrated his strength in his feet, and pushed off forcefully.

The ground trembled slightly as the immense force was transmitted.

With a "whoosh!", Lorne flew straight into the air.

"Splash! Splash!"

The sounds of air being torn apart and bones rumbling intertwined, echoing the booming sound emanating from Lorne's body.

Two long plumes of steam billowed from Lorne's nostrils as he clenched his fists like a slowly rising new star.

One layer of skin and flesh, two layers of tendons and bones, three layers of internal organs—these three forces intersect and overlap; this is the true Triple Force!

Under the powerful force of the punch, Lorne's heavy blow turned into a meteorite and crashed to the ground.

Like a demon lord descending from heaven!

"How is this possible!" Rudolf, who had run some distance away, saw this scene, and the shock in his eyes was beyond words.

The shallow pit was completely blasted open, and the collapse in one area triggered a chain reaction.

The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant nest.

Cracks spread across the ground, and the surface was tilting downwards and collapsing.

"Ah!" Lauren tumbled off the black horse and landed on the scorched black earth.

However, the fall did not stop, and the scorched earth poured down like sand through an hourglass through the pile of rubble.

Smoke and dust rose, and the earth roared.

The root systems of each Edelweiss tree are exposed, complex and dense.

Before long, it too was buried in dust...

...

"...Lauren...Lauren, wake up!" The voice gradually became clearer.

Lauren struggled to open her eyes and saw Nina's dusty face close at hand.

"Your mental energy was exhausted, and you passed out during the fall." Nina looked somewhat haggard.

Lauren struggled to sit up and found Captain Rudolf talking to the scantily clad Lorne.

"Lorne, the situation didn't allow me much time to think; there was nothing I could do," Rudolph said, referring to why the others had abandoned him.

"I know," Lorne replied calmly, squatting beside a charred tinderwood tree.

"You should have told me in advance that you possess such combat capabilities!" Rudolf said indignantly.

He was still brooding over what had happened before, making him seem like an idiot.

Lorne did not respond to him.

If it weren't for my combat prowess, I would already be dead in a sea of ​​fire.

Lorne dusted off the ash from his clothes and stood up.

"Where is this place?" he asked Lauren, who had just woken up.

Lorne knew he was in an underground cavern, but the scene before him did not match his understanding of underground caverns.

Light streamed down from the opening nearly ten meters above, faintly illuminating the surrounding contours.

The bottom of the cave, covered by rubble and scorched earth, is etched with strange patterns, displaying an eerie dark red color.

Similar patterns can be found on the four walls.

It's less like an underground cave and more like a large magic circle.

Rudolf struggled to move his arms; having fallen from such a height, injuries were inevitable.

Fortunately, there was a buffer period, otherwise it would have resulted in being smashed to pieces.

Because it was carrying a lot of heavy loads, the black horse broke one of its legs, and Nina gave it a simple bandage.

Of the people present, only Lorne was unharmed.

Lorne had already turned off [Boiling Blood], but the burning sensation in his lungs persisted.

While gaining significant functional benefits, there are bound to be side effects.

However, precisely because of this, the two attribute boosts to his physique allowed Lorne to unleash the Triple Force without any aftereffects.

"This is!" Lauren suddenly screamed.

He frantically dug through the rubble and scorched earth on the surface of the magic circle, completely disregarding the foul smell of the scorched earth and his appearance.

"Any discoveries?" Rudolf leaned closer.

"Little bag! Yes, help me find it!" Lauren anxiously rummaged through the scorched earth: "There's an important book in there."

Lorne noticed a small white duffel bag hanging on a branch of a charred tree nearby, and he went over and took it down.

The duffel bag had a small hole, and several runes fell out of it.

There seemed to be some broken medicine inside, which stained the bottom of the bag a light green.

"Is this it?" Lorne held it up in front of Lauren.

"That's right!" Lauren suddenly became excited. "Give it to me!"

Lauren took the small bag and began rummaging through it.

"Ouch!" A tiny shard of glass cut her finger, but Lauren ignored it and took out a book.

Lorne saw on the cover that it read "Fundamentals of Runecraft".

Runes? I might study them if I have time... Lorne thinks runes are still very important.

Currently, he doesn't even recognize the characters on the protective runes.

The demand for various runes will definitely be high in the future, and understanding the function of each rune is the most basic thing.

Otherwise... in battle, you might be supposed to use a protective rune to block enemy magic, but instead you pull out an offensive rune...

That would have blown up... Lorne couldn't help but laugh at the thought of it.

Lauren opened "Fundamentals of Runecraft" and looked at the dark red patterns on the ground, comparing them with those in the book.

"Is this a magic circle?" Nina stroked the stripes, sensing something was off. "The protective runes seem to have stopped working."

"Indeed." Only after Nina said this did Lorne realize that his connection with the protective runes on the brown horse had been severed.

When a rune lacks a supply of spiritual energy, it will automatically dissipate, or the manipulator will actively sever the connection.

In theory, the stronger one's mental strength, the longer one can maintain the rune's continuity, not counting the rune's own self-depletion.

Because runes themselves are also a form of magic, only they are stored away.

Activating a rune can be understood as directly using stored spells, powered by mental energy.

This eliminates the need for tedious spell inscription and guidance processes.

It's equivalent to instant spellcasting during a wizard's apprenticeship.

Lorne only had a partial understanding of the matter.

After all, with Lauren, the wizard apprentice, constantly nagging by his side, he could still learn something.

"I knew it!" Lauren jumped up suddenly after some progress: "The fact that this forest is ablaze is no coincidence!"
