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

Chapter 206 Victor's Surprise

"Mental Energy Preservation Board." Victor immediately ordered Sadik to retrieve the item in the research room that could preserve mental energy, fearing that Lorne might change his mind.

After all, the reason he originally wanted to dissect Lorne was to explore the energy balance model, and also to investigate the structure of the strange energy body flowing in his abdomen.

If one could exchange some other unimportant academic research for this important model, it would be a worthwhile deal.

Sadiq moved quickly, and soon pulled out a transparent energy plate from the clutter. The plate was filled with clear energy, and he quickly handed it to Lorne: "Use your mind to control your mental energy and inject it into the plate. Use it as a canvas and your mental energy as a paintbrush to draw the model you imagine."

When the mental energy retention plate was handed to Lorne, a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously. Wasn't this process the same as rune drawing?

Lorne's mind raced, unsure where to begin building the model. After all, the Tai Chi diagram was just a two-dimensional image, while models, including spell models, were usually multi-dimensional.

"So much time has passed that I no longer remember the overall content of the model, only most of the... imagery."

Lorne channeled his mental energy into the record board, his consciousness transforming into a giant hand that controlled everything, and began to draw.

There is still a certain difference between mental energy retention and rune drawing. The inside of the retention plate is a vast space where mental energy can roam freely.

Rune plates, however, are flat and have limitations.

Mental energy flowed rapidly, outlining a blurry image within the storage plate, emitting a faint light.

Graphical display—

It is a very simple circular outline, composed of two swimming fish that are connected end to end, slowly rotating, one black and one white, with completely different auras, yet seemingly as one.

"I view the two conflicting energies within my body as Yin and Yang, with the black fish representing Yin and the white fish representing Yang. They are not completely opposed, but rather mutually reinforcing and mutually supporting each other."

Lorne's voice was steady, with a peculiar rhythm, explaining the philosophy of Tai Chi as clearly as possible.

When Yin reaches its extreme, Yang arises; when Yang reaches its extreme, Yin begins to emerge.

He pondered for a moment, realizing that Sadiq and Victor wouldn't understand his explanation, so he changed his approach.

"In this picture, the black side represents destruction, and the white side represents new life. The two are opposed and conflicting. The apex is not only destruction, but also the opportunity for transformation."

Lorne lightly tapped his index finger, and his mental energy surged into the retention plate like a torrent.

A sliver of light appeared inside the fish whose heads and tails were connected. Then, a black glint suddenly surged from the yang fish, and a white light appeared in the yin fish.

"What I'm trying to do is not to forcibly suppress or merge, but to guide the two energies into a cyclical potential in a localized way, so that the confrontation itself becomes the fulcrum of balance."

"That is, in destruction... new life is born."

The entire laboratory fell into complete silence.

Victor stared intently at the simple yet profoundly meaningful pattern, his fervor replaced by an intense focus.

Sadiq held his breath, staring at the slowly rotating light pattern on the record board. He felt an indescribable shock wash over him; the pattern was completely different from any energy model he had ever known before.

"Yin and Yang, mutually generating and restraining each other, in a cycle..." Victor muttered to himself. Although he didn't quite understand the meaning, he made a rough deduction based on the pattern on the surviving plate.

After taking the retention tablet and studying it for a while, he suddenly looked up, his cloudy black eyes fixed on Lorne. "Guidance, using confrontation as a balance?"

"This violates the fundamental law of energy stability; energy conflicts only lead to increased entropy, causing the situation to deteriorate into chaos and collapse..."

Victor's tone was skeptical, but more so it was filled with the novelty of discovering the unknown.

With a burst of malicious mental energy, Sadiq's repeated attempts to dissuade him were ineffective, and the energy control panel on the other side of the laboratory lit up.

Countless complex rays of light intertwine, rapidly constructing a simulated energy field—a scene deduced from the Tai Chi diagram.

Lorne's pupils constricted; he hadn't expected Victor to be able to deduce the energy balance model from a single planar diagram.

I underestimated the abilities of academic wizards...

"According to my calculations, when boiling blood and qi come into contact with cold, unknown energy without any constraints or control points, the result can only be..."

In the simulated field, the black and white symbols representing the two energies reacted violently the moment they came into contact.

It burst forth with a blinding light, and the energy field data recorded on the instruments fluctuated wildly before finally settling into a crimson collapse.

Although Lorne couldn't understand the academic explanations, he used his understanding of the body's balance to explain it by simulating an energy field: "What I'm trying to do is maintain a dynamic balance, where things are mutually antagonistic and interdependent in a flow."

This old academic is quite capable, but the data he has is still far too scarce.

He once again channeled his will into his body, without concealing the process, but instead slowed down the guidance process, allowing Victor to see the changes taking place within his body more clearly.

The star core in the dantian stood quietly, surrounded by the flowing celestial river, which gently enveloped it like a tranquil and profound galaxy, continuously flowing outward.

Within the flesh and blood, the vital energy surged like subterranean fire, restless and agitated.

The invisible spiritual force guides two completely different energies, not by forcibly restraining them, but like dredging a river channel, allowing the intense heat and the icy cold to flow into specific veins one after another.

The two energy channels are not in direct conflict, but rather intersect along specific trajectories near several key acupoints.

Lorne's abilities are limited, and he is not yet able to bring about a new beginning in every minor conflict between the two.

The icy aura could not generate a trace of warmth to flow into the blood and qi, and the boiling heat could not release a trace of coolness to flow into the aura.

We are still some distance away from the stage where there is yin within yang and yang within yin.

They are like two fish chasing and playing in the water, one moving forward while the other moves backward.

It maintains a delicate and ever-changing balance, seemingly fragile and on the verge of collapse, yet it displays astonishing resilience in the flow and transformation of energy.

dynamic equilibrium!

Lorne's face was slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Demonstrating the entire process in a slow and clear manner was extremely taxing on his mental strength.

Victor closely observed the intricate energy circulation within Lorne's body, as Lorne had demonstrated, showing that dynamic balance could be achieved in this way.

"Hahahaha!" The displeasure and doubt in his pure black eyes melted away like ice and snow, replaced by a kind of fanaticism.

"I never imagined that God would bestow so many gifts upon me; besides Sadiq, I also have an academic genius!"
