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

Chapter 69: The Vanished Fortune Teller's Shop, Arcane Impact

After entering the market area, Lorne first bought some food and water, and then bought some utensils for holding water and other purposes.

These accumulated magic crystal fragments total one low-grade magic crystal.

Passing by a potion shop, Theodore insisted on buying several bottles of spirit-restoring potions, despite Lorne's repeated attempts to dissuade him. In the end, he still bought three bottles.

Given the vastness of Theodore's spiritual sea, he had absolutely no need for this thing; it was obvious who he bought it for.

Mental recovery potions are also quite expensive, costing two medium-grade magic crystals per bottle. Theodore doesn't mind the price, but Lorne does.

After all, mental strength can be gradually restored.

After giving Theodore a good scolding, the two entered the town.

Having visited the exchange several times, Lorne knew the way to the "Blood Eye" fortune-telling shop all too well.

After passing through several herbal medicine shops and magical artifact shops, Lorne led Theodore to the entrance of a small alley.

"Wait here for me, I'll be right back." Lorne took a step forward and turned into the alley.

After looking around, he stood there dumbfounded.

The deep red signboard that used to hang in mid-air has vanished without a trace.

I rushed anxiously to the door of the "Blood Eye" fortune-telling shop, only to find that the door was tightly sealed by two chains.

After carefully reviewing his surroundings, Lorne was certain he hadn't gone down the wrong alley.

The only explanation is that the fortune-telling shop has closed down and Mrs. Elena has left the apprenticeship area.

This is troublesome... Lorne thought to himself, "This is bad."

The Black Sun Tower is very large, and Lady Elena, as a servant of a formal wizard, was likely taken to the wizard's tower, which is the Black Tower.

I am only a first-level wizard apprentice now, far from becoming a formal wizard. Even if I do become a wizard, how can I possibly meet Lady Elena?

I don't even know when we'll see each other again...

Seeing Lorne emerge from the alley with a troubled expression, Theodore asked with concern, "What happened, Lorne?"

Lorne didn't want to bother Theodore, after all, it was a promise he had made to him.

After hastily leaving a "It's nothing" message, he ran to several nearby shops to inquire about the fortune-telling shop.

"That secluded fortune-telling shop? It seems to have closed down more than two weeks ago."

"Fortune Telling Shop? Not following."

"I don't know, I don't know."

...

There was no information about Mrs. Elena's whereabouts.

One shop owner, who knew Mrs. Elena, was also baffled by the sudden closure of the fortune-telling shop.

"Sigh." Lorne sighed. Based on the information given by several shop owners, the fortune-telling shop had already closed before he returned to the apprentice area.

It seems that the promise made to Soderion cannot be fulfilled in the short term.

It all depends on fate...

"Lorne, is that fortune-telling shop important to you?" Theodore asked, seeing Lorne's anxious expression and wanting to know what had happened.

"It's alright, let's go back." Lorne calmed himself down a bit.

Worrying too much about things that are temporarily impossible will only add to your anxiety; it's better not to think about them for now.

The most important thing right now is to master the remaining five simple spells and put rune making on the agenda, as magic crystals are already in short supply.

During the few hours at the market, the spiritual energy in my mind had been restored, and the small puddle returned to its shimmering state.

The sun was about to set, and Lorne felt that he was in very good condition.

Theodore and Theodore hit it off immediately. After leaving the market, the two passed through their residence and headed north towards the training grounds...

When the two arrived at the training ground, it was already evening, and a few wizard apprentices were still scattered around practicing spells.

"Lorne, I'll continue explaining 'Spark Splash'." As Theodore spoke, he expanded the spell runes.

"No," Lorne firmly refused.

The repeated demonstrations, often lasting ten minutes each time, had left him quite weary.

There's a numb feeling, like you've completely mastered the spell but can't improve it.

Even if you are familiar with the key points of each stage, the spell will still have many problems and lack power when it is released.

Continuing to fight to the death is clearly not a rational thing to do.

Lorne took out the wizard's book and turned to the page on "Arcane Impact".

Lauren's Arcane Missiles gave him a lot of trouble, so "Arcane Impact," as a lower-level spell of the missiles, was made a compulsory course for Lorne.

"Let's put Spark Shot aside for now," Lorne said, pointing to Arcane Impact. "Learn this one first."

Arcane Blast?

Theodore was quite familiar with this spell.

"The difficulty of Arcane Blast compared to Spark Shot lies in the additional compression phase. It is essentially a force-energy impact, compressing arcane energy particles and releasing them instantly..."

After Theodore's explanation and demonstration, Lorne nodded, only half understanding.

Arcane Blast has no fixed form; it is more like a shockwave that distorts light and tears through the air.

Lorne felt that the power of his "Arcane Impact" was probably less than the force of a casual punch.

However, martial arts cannot be equated with magic...

About four to five hours later.

Perception achieved, spell pattern construction achieved, energy compression achieved, condensation and release processes achieved.

Cast an Arcane Blast.

Arcane Blast is now included.

A soft popping sound rang out in the air.

The air in front of him only distorted slightly for a moment before quickly returning to normal.

Arcane Blast went silent before it even made contact with its target.

Lorne felt a sense of relief, though the power was extremely weak.

But the sense of accomplishment still far exceeds that of mastering "spark splash" for the first time.

The reason is that mysterious energy particles are not as agitated as fire-attribute energy particles, making sensing them a significant challenge.

That is primordial, neutral, and unaffectable energy.

Unlike other energy attributes, which are multifunctional, its purpose, by its very nature, is to precisely achieve effects.

Arcane Missiles, for example, are designed to deal damage more efficiently.

The greater challenge of Arcane Blast lies in the energy compression process; consequently, the subsequent condensation and release are also significant difficulties.

It doesn't particularly require a high level of control.

In general, after mastering both "Spark Splatter" and "Arcane Blast," Lorne could intuitively feel the difference between the two spells.

The former focuses more on the caster's control ability, requiring precise manipulation of the spell to make the scattered sparks fly towards the same landing point.

The latter focuses more on the ability to control energy, requiring only basic aiming and steady firing.

What Lorne couldn't understand was that Theodore could use "Ice Arrow," "Arcane Blast," and "Spark Shot" with ease.

A hexagonal mage with no weaknesses?

A profound sense of powerlessness welled up in Lorne's heart.

What can ordinary people do?

Keep practicing and give it your all!

He quickly resumed casting Arcane Impact until his mental energy was completely depleted...
