The Witcher: Grinding Proficiency Starting with the Witcher

"Fallen leaves return to their roots..."

Turka moved his lips, repeating what Li Wei had just said.

He admitted that the word had a philosophical meaning.

She raised her eyebrows and looked Li Wei up and down again.

The golden vertical pupils were almost condensed into the shape of a needle.

Are you sure you want to stay?

"If that's true, I'll have to take back the gold coin I gave you."

Li Wei glanced down at his bloodied hands. A King Flac gold coin was stuck to his left palm in blood, looking unusually alluring.

Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and said with a smile.

"Uncle Turka, I'm sure, I'll return this gold coin to you."

go?

Is leaving impossible?

There are monsters here, and professional witchers. Where else could you find a better place to obtain mutants?

I love it here.

And the final trial, filled with monsters, is definitely the best opportunity to obtain mutants!

What's the use of a gold coin? You might get kidnapped by bandits not long after leaving the castle.

Turka was momentarily stunned by the former's confident smile, which even seemed to carry a sense of fatalistic resignation.

He wasn't surprised that Levi could beat Ethan.

After all, the former had been in the Witcher's Castle since childhood, and had spent much more time learning than these half-baked newcomers. He was also a year older and stronger than them. It would be a real shame if he couldn't beat them.

The only possible reason for failure is Li Wei's personality; he is introverted and could even be described as somewhat cowardly.

That's why Turka wanted the other person to leave, go out and see what's going on, and maybe there would be some unexpected encounters.

To everyone's surprise, Li Wei actually wanted to stay and pass the final trial.

Can life and death truly change a person's character?

Turka pursed his lips but did not reach for the gold coins in Li Wei's hand.

"Now that I've given it to you, I won't take it back."

"Today's lesson is swordsmanship. Are you physically capable of performing it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wei knew that Turka had agreed.

He straightened up, placed his right fist against his heart, and whispered a command.

"Completion guaranteed."

Upon seeing this, Turka couldn't help but smile, his beard-covered lips curving upwards.

"Then hurry up and go, everyone else is already at the training ground."

"yes!"

Li Wei looked excited and ran out.

Turká watched his retreating figure, shook his head bitterly, picked up Ethan with one hand, placed him on his shoulder, and frowned.

"That kid hit hard enough, he's going to get a scolding from Mavis later."

Li Wei walked through a stone corridor, where the torches on both sides cast his shadow on the ground, making it appear crooked and uneven.

He opened the system panel, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Immediately noticeable is a new talent trait that appears below [Breath of the Moon].

[Body Coordination]: Reduces the error rate of basic movements, strengthens the center of gravity, allows for quick standing up after dodging and rolling, and increases stamina by 0.1!

Endurance: 1.5-1.6

Cool!

The importance of one's center of gravity during combat goes without saying.

If the other person pushes you, you'll fall down and won't be able to run away.

Look upwards.

[Apprentice Physical Skills: 100/100 (Perfect)]

Is that all?

So you're just starting out?

Sigh, we should be content.

With this in mind, we passed through the stone gate, and the towering city wall made of cobblestones came into view.

The city wall is thirty or forty meters high, and the surface of the stone wall is covered with mottled vines.

The sky was cloudless and a clear, deep blue.

I took a deep breath of fresh air and walked toward the training field in front of me.

There were already quite a few people standing on the training field, wearing protective gear and with their backs to him.

Li Wei believed his steps were very light, but when he got about twenty meters away from the crowd...

The crowd, who had their backs to him, all turned around and stared at him, like a pack of wolves hunting at night, making Li Wei's heart clench.

"I'm not seeing things, am I? It's actually Li Wei."

"By the plague, didn't Aite just say his potion awakening failed? How is he still alive?"

"Could it be that he successfully awakened?"

"Ha, look at his eyes, how could he possibly have successfully awakened? He's incredibly lucky to be alive."

The crowd whispered among themselves when suddenly, Li Wei noticed a sharp gaze.

Looking in that direction, a muscular blond youth, a head taller than him, and bearing a striking resemblance to Ethan, was staring at him menacingly.

Wait, 1.9 meters tall and only 15 years old in this day and age? Did he eat some kind of super fertilizer? How can he grow so fast?

What was her name again?

Raven Ferguson, Ethan's brother.

No wonder Ethan was so arrogant; it turns out that Lauwen's potion awakened successfully.

As for the recovery potions and gold coins, it's hard to say that this person's instigation wasn't involved.

"Quiet down. When the windmill training was announced, everyone was like a deflated quail. Now they're all all smiles."

"If you still have extra energy, I will allow you to undergo a second potion awakening."

A cold voice rang out.

The witcher apprentices all shut their mouths, and many even shrank back.

Even Lao Wen pursed his lips, revealing a hint of lingering fear.

A man dressed in black leather armor stepped out from in front of the Witcher apprentice.

His face was gaunt, his gray hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and his eyes were languid, making him look quite disheveled.

Ete is a formal Witcher and also the current instructor teaching swordsmanship to his apprentices.

What are you doing here?

Gray eyes swept over.

Li Wei immediately said.

"Reporting to Instructor Aite, Master Turka has asked me to participate in today's training."

Aite raised an eyebrow, and after a brief moment of surprise, chuckled.

"Return to the team."

"Yes."

Li Wei stood on the far right of the line, glancing subtly at Aite's eyes out of the corner of his eye.

He noticed that everyone present had gray cat eyes, which were much less intimidating than Turka's golden vertical pupils.

"Cough cough..."

Aite coughed and looked at everyone.

"As you can see, there are fifty-seven Witcher apprentices in this year's class. If you include Li Wei, then there are only eleven of you left."

"But don't get too excited yet. If I had to guess, it would be pretty good if three people could successfully obtain the Witcher Badge in the final trial ten days from now."

As he said this, a cruel smile appeared on his face.

At the same time, these words immediately plunged everyone's hearts into despair.

Ten days!

Li Wei kept this date firmly in mind, determined to seize every second to improve his proficiency during this period.

Aite clapped his hands and stopped trying to scare the crowd.

"Alright, now that you've become Witcher apprentices, death will forever follow you."

"I now declare that windmill training has officially begun."

"Lao Wen, you're first."

"Yes, Instructor Aite."

"Li Wei, um... you should continue practicing swordsmanship with the wooden dummy as usual."

"Yes."

Li Wei whispered a command.

Do what you are capable of.

"Okay, Lauwen and the rest of you, come with me."

After arranging the matters, Aite turned and walked towards the city wall not far away.

Lao Wen followed closely behind, and as he left, he glanced at Li Wei with a sinister look and curled his lip.

With just one glance, Li Wei was already certain.

Ethan's actions were definitely orchestrated by this person.

motivation?

It's irrelevant now; people have already been beaten, and there's absolutely no room for reconciliation.

What can we do now?

We can only temporarily avoid confrontation and exercise restraint.

Because they lack confidence, they might genuinely be unable to win.

Li Wei silently recited it in his heart.

"Let's improve our proficiency first."

"You just wait!"
