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

Returning to his residence with the calming potion, Lorne was still troubled by the old man's words.

If there really is a problem with meditation, should we continue practicing it or not?

Another question is that the Black Sun Breathing Technique is distributed uniformly by the Black Tower and is a compulsory course for almost every wizard apprentice.

But so far, the guys in the apprentice area don't seem to be doing anything unusual.

Lorne wondered if it was because of his prolonged meditation... He regretted not asking the old man for clarification.

Is the problem inherent in the Black Sun Meditation method itself, or is it caused by prolonged and uninterrupted meditation?

Since things have come to this, let's focus on cultivation for now... Lorne put away the "Black Sun Meditation Method".

He will not engage in Black Sun Meditation for the next week, at least until the ring-shaped patterns in his pupils fade before resuming it.

After calming his inner turmoil, Lorne took out a calming potion from his moonlight pouch.

The calming potion is a clear, pale purple solution, contained in a small crystal bottle sealed with wax.

A typical spirit-enhancing potion costs one medium-grade magic crystal, while a concentration potion requires three.

Given its high price, the results should be exceptional, right?

Lorne was unsure if drinking the calming potion would still prevent him from opening his mental sea, so he would have to put his advancement to wizard apprentice on hold for the time being.

The effects of low-level Starshine Potions become increasingly weaker as you progress, offering negligible improvements.

How far away is the current mental strength from 5 points? That is unknown.

"Let's give it a try..." Without thinking twice, Lorne forcefully removed the stopper and gulped down the concentration potion.

Then sit cross-legged and control the meditation phase to "the blazing sun overhead".

Unlike the mildness of low-grade Starshine Potion, the Mind-Concentrating Potion instantly delivers a massive surge of energy throughout the body upon ingestion.

It draws in mental energy, causing it to "swell".

The space of consciousness began to shake violently, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Lorne felt as if his head was about to explode.

A torrent of spiritual power suddenly erupted from the deepest part of consciousness, continuously surging into the space of consciousness.

Hang in there!

The scenes in the consciousness space are becoming increasingly realistic and detailed.

From the smallest blade of grass to the largest mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas.

The paintbrush kept getting a steady supply of paint, so Lorne could use it without any worries...

Several hours later.

Like a drop of water falling on a dark lake, creating ripples.

"Buzz—"

A violent shockwave struck, causing even the soul to tremble.

Lorne's five senses became blurred and gradually faded away, and the sights and sounds inside the house receded like the tide.

[Attributes: Constitution 9, Strength 9, Agility 8, Spirit 5, Magic 0]

With the help of the calming potion, he finally took that step.

With the Spirit attribute reaching 5 points, the Spirit Sea opened as expected.

His consciousness was swept away by an unstoppable torrent, plummeting towards that newly born space.

A light shone.

The vast ocean that was expected did not appear.

Instead, it was a tranquil, silvery lake, its surface small enough to see the end of the lake at a glance.

With the appearance of the spiritual sea, the path of the wizard officially begins.

"It's too small..." After the initial surprise, disappointment followed.

Compared to a normal lake, Lorne's mental sea is more like a small puddle.

The only thing that comforted him was that when his mind touched the shimmering "lake," the spiritual energy gathered within it obediently allowed Lorne to manipulate it.

"Being small has its advantages..." Lorne comforted himself.

After the spiritual sea was opened, the total amount of spiritual power increased several times compared to before, even when it was still a small puddle.

I can't imagine that the total spiritual power of an ocean is dozens of times, or even a hundred times, greater than my own.

After reluctantly accepting reality, Lorne unfolded the panel.

If you don't have exceptional talent, then use cheat codes!

Turning over the martial arts panel, rows of densely packed prompts popped up.

[Your mental strength has reached the minimum threshold for opening your spiritual sea!]

[Promoted to Level One Wizard Apprentice]

[Expansion Points +1]

The Wizard section of the panel has been unlocked.

[Visualization of the Wizard Training System]

To Lorne's surprise, advancing to the first level of wizard apprentice would actually grant him exploration points.

At first, he thought that the wizard panel and the martial arts panel had no connection whatsoever.

But then I thought, isn't cultivating oneself into a wizard in the wizarding world also a kind of exploration?

Lorne excitedly opened the wizard panel.

[Level 1 Wizard Apprentice (Progress: 0%)]

[Constitution: Boiling Blood]

[Proficiency Level: Black Sun Meditation (Mastery 237/800)]

Rune Crafting - Bright (Proficiency 13/400)

After pondering it for a while, he was greatly disappointed.

Rather than a new panel, it's more of an appendage to the Martial Arts panel, which can display information about a wizard's training that the Martial Arts panel cannot record.

The progress of a first-level wizard apprentice is less about advancing to the second level and more about acquiring the next pioneer point.

It is no different from the progress shown on the martial arts panel.

It's utterly useless.

Lorne was very frustrated that his plan to add new attribute points fell through.

Furthermore, it seems that skills related to the wizard training system cannot be quickly improved by grinding for proficiency.

It is important to understand that even if one's understanding of martial arts is not deep enough, one can achieve a qualitative change through repeated practice.

The amount of experience gained depends on your mastery of martial arts and how well you execute it.

As for the skills in the wizard training system, you can learn as many as you want; the panel only shows your level of mastery.

Simply put, the new extension only has display functionality.

Based on the above prompts, the level of proficiency is categorized from lowest to highest as follows: Beginner, Novice, Proficient, Expert, Master.

The mastery of the Black Sun Meditation Method and the creation of 'Meditation' runes is quite similar.

Although Lorne has mastered the entirety of the Black Sun Meditation Technique, he has not yet reached the level of mastery or perfection.

The 'Bright' rune can be made skillfully, but it cannot be guaranteed to be flawless.

At least it can visually demonstrate the change in strength... Lorne comforted himself.

The most important task at the Black Sun Tower has finally been completed after more than twenty days.

The next step is to quickly learn and master a few spells to address the issue of having limited combat options.

At the same time, we must be prepared to deal with the impending war.

The conflict between the Black Sun Tower and the Forest of Fireflies is like a sword hanging over Lorne's head, ready to fall at any moment.

You should know that the old man in black robes is the wizard of the Forest of Fireflies.

So far, the other side has not taken any action in the face of Theodore and his own escape.

This made Lorne very uneasy.

However, on the battlefield, the two sides will inevitably meet one day.

Past grudges and resentments don't necessarily have to be resolved privately; they can also be settled on the battlefield where blood flows like a river.

That day will come sooner or later, it's not far off...
