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

Chapter 217 Progress

"Yes." Lorne's greatest gain was that the dynamic balance formed by the initial conflict has transformed into the current dynamic cycle.

Over the past ten days, my understanding of the two techniques has deepened, and I have made some progress.

"We should have about ten more days to complete the research on the [Dryness] property," Sadiq estimated, noting that there wasn't much time left for rest.

Once all the information about the "dryness" characteristic has been collected, we will return to the study of the Black Sun. At that time, the erosion will become increasingly severe.

But there was no other way; he had to rely on this research and depend on Sadiq, and he had to achieve certain results.

"Are you going to deal with that official wizard then?" Sadiq was referring to Hyman, who had stolen the Stability Bracelet.

"Of course." During this time, Lorne thought it over and over. According to the rules of the Black Tower, wizards are not allowed to fight each other in private unless they leave the area of ​​the Black Sun Tower.

If I were to make a name for myself in the Battle of the Prodigies, my opponents would be very wary, and it would be extremely difficult to retrieve the Stable Bracelet.

So after much deliberation, he came up with a way to regain the stability bracelet in a dignified manner without violating the rules of the Black Tower.

"If I can win first place in the Prodigy Battle, I will challenge Hyman to a duel." With the protection of the Prodigy Battle, Hyman cannot kill me in front of so many high-ranking officials.

Even if you lose to your opponent, if you win first place, you will naturally take it very seriously and then take the opportunity to ask for the bracelet.

It seems unlikely that they will refuse; this is a relatively conservative approach that will allow them to safely retrieve the stability bracelet without violating the Black Tower's rules.

"Get ready." Sadiq gave a brief reminder before leaving to continue studying the [Dryness] property, without saying anything else.

Lorne must have his own judgment on this matter; there's no need for him to tell others what to do.

"Hmm." Lorne responded softly, watching Sadiq leave the lounge. After confirming that the other party was gone, his eyes flashed and he summoned the panel.

During these ten days of training, the Heavenly River True Qi leveled up from lv4 to iv5, and the Ember Flame Breathing Technique leveled up from iv1 to iv4, bringing a total of 4 attribute points.

His physique improved by 1 point due to repeated tempering with the Ember Flame Breathing Technique.

During this period, our understanding of academic matters also expanded significantly, and we made great strides, adding a new area of ​​exploration.

The apprentice's progress to becoming a full-fledged wizard is stuck at 99%. He needs to deepen his anchor point and convert his mental energy into magical energy in order to advance.

After this period of in-depth study, Lorne has made some progress on dynamic cycles.

The success of "Ember Breathing Technique" was like opening a long-closed door, and further in-depth research revealed a solution.

The concepts of confrontation and balance do not necessarily mean insisting on local confrontation and mutual confrontation to form a dynamic balance and then expanding it into overall confrontation.

His mind was working at an unprecedented speed, exploring the cyclical flow of the Heavenly River in "Tianhe Zhengang", the rebirth of "Jinyan Tuna Fa", and the yin-yang transformation of the Taiji diagram.

These three seemingly independent points, combined with the stabilizing function of the wrist wheel, gradually connect into a clear line.

"The body can be seen as a furnace, or as a Tai Chi symbol."

"If we consider the extreme cold and turbidity of the Heavenly River Qi as a Yin fish, and the intense heat and life potential aroused by the Ember Flame Breathing Technique as a Yang fish..."

"Let them each form a cyclical system, one circulating through the meridians of the celestial body, with the stellar core as its source, just like a cold river flowing."

"Another acupoint through which qi and blood flow, with the dantian as its base, is like the surging of subterranean fire."

This idea is both bold and astonishing, as it is already difficult for the human body to accommodate an energy cycle.

It's simply a pipe dream to imagine that two energies with completely opposite or even conflicting properties could operate independently within the body.

However, Lorne felt that this was not impossible. As long as he could get his hands on the stabilizing bracelet, he could apply a stabilizing field from the outside to stabilize the two energies.

This allows the two energies to calm down and operate independently.

More importantly, Lorne saw that the two sides were not only adversaries.

"The yin and yang fish in the Tai Chi diagram are not static and opposing, but rather they chase and transform each other within a larger cyclical framework, with each containing the other."

"When Yin reaches its extreme, Yang arises; when Yang reaches its extreme, Yin arises... This dynamic cycle is not a static equilibrium, nor is it a localized confrontation, but a dynamic, holistic cycle!"

He recalled the description of the third stage of "Heavenly River True Qi" as "the River of Heaven and Earth," which opened up all the meridians in his body, resonated with the star core, and formed a great cycle connecting the external world.

When one truly reaches the stage of the Heavenly River, the Heavenly River Qi will circulate within the body like a real galaxy, making it difficult to resist.

This is a perfect yin fish cycle system.

The "Ember Flame Breathing Technique" provided the prototype of the Yang Fish Cycle.

The normal accumulation of energy in the dantian is like accumulating heat on the earth's surface. The instantaneous burst that ignites potential is like a volcanic eruption. As for the cycle of regeneration, it is about absorbing external energy to repair and strengthen oneself.

This completes a small-scale energy transformation, consuming the accumulated unique energy and converting it into the stimulation of life potential and the strengthening of the physical body.

If it could be perfected, extending the instantaneous burst phase and forming a continuous energy flow parallel to the circulation of the Heavenly River Qi, circulating within the body...

The most crucial elements are the "bridge" and the "boundary".

Lorne's gaze was intense. For the two to coexist, a buffer zone was needed, or, in academic terms, a hub for energy conversion.

The curve in the middle of the Tai Chi symbol not only separates the two energies, but also serves as a bridge connecting Yin and Yang.

In Lorne's vision, this buffer zone could perhaps be constructed using mental power combined with the ability to stabilize the wristband, allowing the two distinct energies to remain stable at the edge of contact...
