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

Chapter 203 The only solution

Victor's words brought a sense of relief to Lorne.

Cologne's warning...this shows that the Minister of Law Enforcement is indeed paying close attention to him, and that what he said to him before the mission was remembered.

It seems that the Battle of the Prodigies holds considerable weight in Cologne's heart. He needs to stand on the platform under the spotlight in his prime, rather than become a dissection or specimen under Victor's command.

But if he doesn't achieve certain success in the Battle of the Prodigies and his status as a formal wizard is taken away by other apprentices, will he still be of value to Cologne?

Once a third-level apprentice loses his value, he naturally becomes meaningless as an investment. Would he still be willing to help him fend off Victor's covetousness at that point?

That's obviously unlikely.

In the upcoming battle of prodigies a month from now, I must achieve first place among the apprentices. Even if I am no match for a formal wizard, I cannot afford to lose to an apprentice.

The consequences of losing one's official wizard status are severe.

In a battle that was a matter of life and death, he did not bear the consequences of defeat.

We can only win!

Victor tilted his head in front of Lorne, a slight clicking sound coming from his neck, and his smile turned somewhat sullen.

The greed on his face had not faded, but it had been forcibly suppressed.

Lorne felt uneasy under Lorne's gaze.

"Mentor." Just as the two were at an impasse, Sadiq stepped in to break the awkward atmosphere between them.

"The enforcement department has issued a stern warning that Lorne must not be harmed in any way for at least a month. Let's focus on studying the issue of the physical conflict."

Based on the current situation, it is indeed similar to his judgment... Lorne followed up on Sadiq's words: "That's right, Mentor Victor, I have come here today hoping that you can help me provide a solution to the physical conflict."

Even though he felt uncomfortable with Victor, Lorne could only patiently ask questions.

Because the other party had offered the Frostfire Ring solution.

"What are the main drawbacks of the Frostfire Ring that you mentioned?"

After some guidance from his students, Victor's mental state seemed to have returned to normal, and his behavior became much more restrained than before.

His posture of standing quietly in thought did indeed resemble that of an elderly and wise wizard.

After some time, the other party explained in a very normal way: "The artifact Frostfire Ring comes from the magical property of Frostfire. It was an attempt by an academic wizard to combine fire and ice characteristics."

"The main principle is that two completely different energies merge to form a new energy body, replacing the two energies with opposite properties."

It could be said that Victor's normal explanation was quite in line with his preconceived notions of an academic mentor, and he was like a completely different person from his previous crazy appearance.

Could it be that Victor, this white-haired old man, has two personalities? People who do academic research are all a bit abnormal...

They are constantly immersed in some distorted aspects, either by excessively exploring the spiritual world or by deeply studying a particular thing, thus distancing themselves from the real world.

Over time, all sorts of problems will naturally arise, and you might even lose basic social skills.

After all, once you become a formal wizard, your mental strength is enhanced, your soul is sublimated, and you are already at a transcendent level, so your lifespan will inevitably increase to some extent.

The only thing that limits a wizard's age is probably his physical body. Flesh and blood age, and they don't become stronger with spiritual growth; their vitality only declines with age.

Therefore, the difference between intermediate and advanced wizards lies in whether or not they have abandoned their physical bodies and merged their souls into a vessel to achieve immortality in a certain sense.

Under such circumstances, most wizards may spend several years when conducting academic research or studying a particular subject.

Some even spend more than ten or several decades, just to complete a certain type of research.

Prolonged immersion can easily lead to the loss of basic human behavioral habits, and it is not surprising that one may become mentally unstable or exhibit other abnormal behaviors.

Lorne had a better understanding of Victor, and he already knew the principle behind the Frostfire Ring that the other party had mentioned.

"Master Sadiq, I already had some understanding of Frostfire." He also knew that this method of balancing conflict was not suitable for him.

One type originates from the violent energy within the blood and qi, while the other is the qi of the body. The two energies are fundamentally different in form, so how can they be fused together?

The formation of Frostfire's properties is essentially based on magic, while Heavenly River Qi and Boiling Blood Qi are, respectively, internal forces in martial arts, which are extracted from essence, qi, and spirit and gathered in the dantian.

Another source can be described as originating from one's own bloodline, and the difference between the two is vast.

Although Lorne didn't quite understand Victor's academic explanation, it was pretty much the same as what he had guessed.

"The only solution is to allow the two energies to achieve a fragile balance within the body, giving birth to life through mutual destruction!"

Destruction breeds life... To simplify this, it simply means creating a dynamic confrontation between two energies.

Lorne had already tried this method based on the inspiration of the Tai Chi diagram at the outpost behind the Tranquil Canyon, and it worked.

The yang fish formed by boiling blood and qi and the yin fish formed by the celestial river qi engage in limited confrontation and attrition within specific meridians, thus preventing a complete loss of control.

"Professor Victor, to be honest, I have already tried the method you mentioned."

"Have you tried it?" Victor suddenly became interested and gestured for Lorne to demonstrate.

It's important to know that Victor is an academic wizard. He arrived at the only solution after meticulously studying the two energy forms of the conflict between the constitutions and constructing countless models.

An apprentice pointed out that he had already tried his method.

The contempt in his words was so strong that it was no different from a blatant provocation. My first thought was to dismiss it, simply assuming that the apprentice lacked vision.

Sadiq also curiously joined in. Victor's mentor had indeed compiled Lorne's case into a unique case of constitutional conflict for his own research.

After numerous attempts to deduce the results, all attempts ultimately failed.

The deduction of the Yang side is not difficult. According to the analysis of the Eye of Inspection, part of the boiling blood and qi comes from the violence in the blood vessels, and the other part comes from the strength of the body and the vigor of blood and qi.

However, the deduction of the negative aspect has hit a snag, as its specific energy type remains undetermined, and no relevant information has been found even after reviewing all the contents of the Black Tower database.

Even the most basic parts haven't been completed, let alone building a conflict model and conducting in-depth discussions.

Naturally, it ended in failure.

Later, Victor personally took charge, setting up dozens of possibilities for the negative side, combining hundreds of different models, totaling tens of thousands of possible derivations.

Only now have we barely established the basic model of constitution conflict...
