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

In the days that followed, Theodore practiced his spells constantly in the training grounds, honing his mental strength.

Lorne, on the other hand, practices breathing techniques in places with abundant water during the day and uses the Star Visualization Method in places with clear starry skies at night.

Absorption is a very slow process. It requires the starlight and water vapor to blend in the dantian to build a framework and slowly allow the star vortex to take shape.

The first, second, and third days went smoothly, until the fourth day...

A tiny vortex slowly rotates in the dantian. With each inhalation, the vortex expands slightly outward, drawing away moisture and sparse starlight.

As the cyclone contracts, the two energies are compressed and condensed.

Just when everything was going smoothly, suddenly, a scorching life force rushed into the vortex, dispelling the power of the water and starlight.

Lorne sat cross-legged on the open ground, opening his eyes with some confusion.

This isn't the first time; every time the vortex is about to take shape, a surge of heat will suddenly rush into the vortex, disrupting the framework.

At which stage did the problem occur?

Lorne reflected on the situation and quickly identified the problem.

When he was in the fire element zone, he used fire elemental breathing techniques to temper his body with energy that clashed with the power of water.

Although he obtained the extremely powerful physique of [Boiling Blood], it brought great difficulties to the entry of Tianhe True Qi.

The Heavenly River True Qi is extremely cold and turbid, and naturally it is incompatible with boiling blood.

This problem is enough to give Lorne a headache for a long time.

Are we going to the water element zone?

The power of the water source by the river is too weak, and the water-attribute energy particles it contains are not pure, making it difficult to integrate into a body that has been tempered with pure fire-attribute energy particles.

Unfortunately, there wasn't that much time.

A round trip to the resource area takes at least three or four days.

If you do the math, half a month has already passed, and it's time for the day Rudolf and the others said the war would break out between the Black Sun Tower and the Forest of Fireflies.

But strangely, there were no unusual changes in the apprentice area, and no signs of impending war.

This information is not unfounded, but why hasn't he reached the apprentice level yet?

Was the role of wizard apprentices in the war simply too insignificant? Lorne's mind raced with thoughts.

However, no matter what, it is still necessary to improve strength quickly, even if it costs some money, to master the Heavenly River True Qi.

Lorne adjusted the stabilizing wristband on his wrist and increased the output of his mental energy.

After using it for a few days, Lorne had figured out all its functions.

The main function of the stabilizing wrist is to maintain the stability of the mental sea, while also adjusting the amount of dissipated mental energy and stabilizing its output.

It's like adding a valve and stabilizer to the output of mental energy.

It is a highly functional wizard artifact that can help protect oneself from mental attacks and maintain the stability of one's mental sea during battle.

It is also very helpful in daily life, especially when making runes, as it allows you to control the intensity of your mental energy at will.

Lorne simultaneously activated the Star Visualization Technique and the Breathing Technique.

The power of stars and water was forcibly merged into the cyclone.

It might take more time and involve some risks, but right now, apart from forcibly condensing the Star Vortex, Lorne can't think of any better way.

The cyclone was repeatedly dispersed by the heat flow just as it was about to transform into a stellar vortex, time and time again...

......

One day later.

Lorne sat down cross-legged and began to meditate.

A vague vortex quietly swirled within the dantian, its core emitting a faint light.

Xingxuancheng.

The airflow accelerates suddenly as it passes through the celestial vortex, swirling at an extremely high speed.

Lorne directed the flow of energy outside his body while simultaneously activating the Star Vortex.

A heavy, cold aura descended upon me, thick and sticky, as if anything entering it would move extremely slowly.

At this point, they had not yet entered the Transformation of Qi stage, so they did not have any offensive moves.

The subsequent Overturning Heaven and Whirlpool Force can only be used when the Star Vortex Energy generates Qi.

Lorne stood up, feeling a sense of obstruction. Forcibly condensing the Star Vortex would inevitably leave aftereffects, especially given his fire-attribute constitution. But at this moment, he didn't have many options.

Several pages of prompts popped up on the panel.

[By sensing the stars and responding to the water, gathering the power of the stars and water in the dantian, a stellar vortex was successfully constructed.]

[I have mastered the basics of "Tianhe Zhengang"]

The martial arts panel also has a corresponding section.

Because he comprehended the source of wizard magic energy during the cultivation of the Heavenly River True Qi, the progress of the development points took a small step forward, reaching another stage and bringing in a little bit of attribute points.

There's no rush to grind for proficiency in the Heavenly River True Qi Technique; I've only just begun to grasp it, and even if I were to use it, the experience bonus would be minimal.

After closing the panel, Lorne returned to his residence.

Theodore was still nowhere to be seen inside the cabin. The curly-haired boy was also working very hard, spending the last five days at the training ground. Lorne only saw him once.

After five days without rest, Lorne was starting to feel the strain, but thankfully he finally managed to get the basics of "Heavenly River True Qi".

He collapsed onto the wooden bed and quickly fell asleep...

Lorne woke up relatively early the next day and was preparing to go to the area around the apprentices' quarters to draw water when Theodore, with dark circles under his eyes, pushed open the door.

"Lorne," he greeted weakly.

Don't die suddenly...

Lorne stepped forward and helped him to the bedside: "Get some rest, you haven't slept for two or three nights."

"No rush." ​​Theodore gently pushed Lorne away, paused for a moment, and seemed to have something important to say.

"Let's go to the Wizard's Tower to register as apprentices."

Registering as an apprentice? I've completely forgotten about it these past few days...

"There's no rush. Take a rest and keep yourself in good spirits," Lorne advised.

Theodore looked reluctant: "Let's go now."

After saying that, he dropped a bombshell: "I've been promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice."

???

Lorne was filled with questions. Wasn't Theodore's promotion to second-level wizard apprentice just a few days ago?

He hasn't even mastered advanced spells like "Fireball," yet he's already at level two relying on just a few simple spells?

I've only just mastered the basics of the Heavenly River True Qi technique...

Theodore's silent advancement dealt a heavy blow to Lorne's young heart.

Thinking back to how he himself had advanced through drugs, his mental sea was still just a small puddle, compared to Theodore who advanced through practicing magic and had a "mental sea".

The sense of difference immediately became apparent.
