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

Chapter 88: The Opportunity to Solve the Physical Fitness Problem

Everyone left, leaving only Lorne and Theodore.

"Lorne, this recruitment..." Theodore had originally wanted to discuss it further, but stopped himself after seeing Lorne's dark circles under his eyes, and changed his words:

"Go back and rest."

"Hmm." Lorne, who hadn't slept for five days, was also a little tired, and his eyelids were almost too heavy to keep open.

The two returned to the cabin.

On the cramped wooden bed, Lorne and Theodore huddled together, feeling somewhat stuffy.

Only a gentle breeze blowing through the window can bring a refreshing coolness.

"Lorne, have you been staying up day and night these past few days practicing some unique technique besides magic?" Theodore rested his arm on the windowsill and chatted casually.

After more than a week, Lorne didn't seem to care much about spells, and I've hardly ever seen him practice them.

It seemed that becoming a wizard's apprentice was all he needed to accomplish.

At Wall Manor, Theodore's mind was filled with the memory of Lorne's fierce battle with the knight.

That was the first time Theodore felt that Lorne was a stranger.

The two knew each other very well, and in their minds, Lorne was far from possessing such methods.

It can kill a knight who is far beyond human comprehension at close range.

Theodore dared not ask.

Right, it seems I've never told that silly boy anything about martial arts... Lorne's eyelids were trembling, but he still mustered his strength to reply:

"Yes, I am not as talented as you, and I cannot break through to level two or three in just a few days."

"My spiritual sea was opened by taking drugs. Improving my spells requires time to accumulate. With the conscription imminent, I must enhance my strength in a short period of time."

Theodore looked worried: "Will it come at the cost of our lives, or will there be some kind of condition as the price?"

He subconsciously believed that Lorne had taken a crooked path, temporarily increasing his strength, but the consequence was that he had sacrificed some things.

"Don't overthink it, it's just training related to knights." The existence of the panel was hard to explain, so Lorne simply made up a reason to reassure the curly-haired boy.

"Knight training?" Theodore didn't believe this explanation, but there were indeed some details in the battle that proved that Lorne had used breathing techniques.

When did he begin cultivating...? Theodore was filled with questions.

After pondering for a moment, I stopped thinking about the problem; there was no point in getting hung up on it now.

"Lorne, I don't know how to get along with Dante right now. I can only pretend to be calm. Should I find a reason to kick him out of the team?"

"Will there be any problems if he goes with us to complete the draft?"

"Lorne?"

"Lorne..."

Theodore turned his head and saw that Lorne had his eyes closed and was breathing softly.

She's asleep.

It's time for a good rest... Theodore closed his eyes and gradually drifted off to sleep.

The bright moonlight gently shone on the two of them.

The curly-haired boy lifted his thigh and pressed it against the brown-haired boy's stomach, snoring loudly...

......

Noon the next day.

Lorne lay listlessly on the wooden bed, his fingers constantly fidgeting.

He was now alone in the room, and Theodore went off to the training grounds to practice his spells.

The pale blue screen scrolled continuously.

No, this won't work either...

The physical conflicts arising from cultivating the Heavenly River True Qi will eventually need to be resolved over time. The [Boiling Blood] is extremely important and cannot be abandoned.

As for the Heavenly River True Qi, it is a kind of internal skill that fits his fighting style very well, so it is impossible for him to abandon it and start a new one.

After much deliberation, Lorne decided to start with the [Martial Arts Library] to see if there were any martial arts techniques that could perfectly resolve the conflict in his constitution.

-[Internal Skill]-

[Righteous True Qi], [Pure Yang Skill], [Heavenly River True Qi], [Endless Life]...

-【Fist Techniques】-

[Crushing Mountain Fist], [Nine Tribulations Fist], [Tai Chi Fist]...

-【Body Techniques-】

[Mirror Flower, Water Moon], [Five Elements Escape], [Lingbo Steps], [So Close Yet So Far]...

-【Palm Techniques】-

-【Leg Techniques-】

-【Swordsmanship-】

-【...】-

The classification of martial arts is quite simple and can be broadly summarized into four categories.

Most importantly, internal strength is the foundation and core of martial arts training.

Secondly, there are external skills, which are the skills used to train muscles, bones, skin, and techniques. Fist techniques, palm techniques, leg techniques, and knife techniques all belong to this category, serving as the carriers of internal energy.

Another important aspect is movement techniques, which include skills in moving, dodging, and footwork. These are also crucial in combat.

Finally, there are some low-level martial arts, such as musical techniques.

The martial arts in the martial arts library progress from low-level to high-level martial arts, from simple moves to grand laws and divine powers.

With Lorne's current martial arts skills, he can only practice the earlier martial arts techniques.

After flipping through the first few pages of the internal cultivation manual for a long time, Lorne still couldn't find a cultivation method that could reconcile the contradictions in his constitution.

The rest was beyond his comprehension, and he didn't understand it very well.

Unconvinced, Lorne went to browse through other categories of martial arts.

A vast martial arts library couldn't possibly lack even one technique that resolves the conflict between fire and water...

After a while, the screen stopped changing and remained on the page showing boxing techniques.

-【Fist Techniques】-

Tai Chi

The techniques of boxing emphasize the harmony of Yin and Yang.

It originated from the inspiration that Taoist Zhang Sanfeng had when he observed the image of a tortoise and snake coiling together and water surging and fire rising.

Overcome strength with gentleness, and control all changes with non-action.

[...]

This style of boxing is completely opposite to Lorne's fighting style. His advocacy of violent aesthetics and this kind of retreat-to-advance technique is too frustrating in combat.

The essence of martial arts training is nothing more than the word "martial arts."

However, Lorne still decided to exchange for this martial art.

The words above caught his attention.

The moment the eight characters "harmony of yin and yang" and "water surging and fire rising" appeared, Lorne's gaze was immediately drawn to them.

The essence of constitution conflict is the conflict between water and fire, yin and yang.

Since this style of boxing emphasizes the harmony of Yin and Yang, there must be an opportunity to resolve conflicts within one's own constitution.

Even if it's just a martial art.

Since there are many potential avenues to explore, why not give it a try? What if it solves the problem?

[Do you wish to redeem the martial art 'Tai Chi Fist'?]

【whether】

Lorne gritted his teeth and pressed "Yes".

【Pioneer Point-1】

[Tai Chi Boxing has been redeemed]

Dense text appeared, containing information about the mental principles, training methods, and characteristics of Tai Chi movements, etc...

After a cursory glance, he quickly regretted it.

The above does not record the method of yin and yang harmony; it is merely the core concept of Tai Chi Chuan, which is called "the Way of Tai Chi".

Its core meaning is "return".

Become familiar with the boxing stance, initially perceive and guide the opponent's physical force, causing the opponent's attack to deflect and be returned to the opponent.

It is very similar to the Xuanliu Jin, both being deflection attacks.

The performance is roughly the same, only the underlying logic is different.

It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw it away...

Lorne couldn't help but sigh.

Mastering Tai Chi thoroughly won't significantly improve one's strength, nor will it resolve issues related to physical constitution.

You can't not learn it, since it can provide attribute points.

You need to make time to learn the basics even if you only have 5 attribute points.
