Full-Time Psychic Martial Artist

In the dormitory, Lorne, who had returned to his true form, lay on the bed and selected the first-level spell that he hadn't chosen during the last upgrade.

~~~

【Featherfall Spell】(Bard, Warlock, Mage, Mechanic, Shaman)

One ring, change, lasts for 1 minute, instant cast.

This greatly reduces the weight of up to 5 creatures within a 20-meter radius, changing their fall speed to 20 meters per turn, and they will not suffer any fall damage upon landing before the spell ends.

Ascending Ring Casting:

Each upgrade to one ring can affect an additional 5 creatures.

~~~

With this spell, we can avoid taking some detours when running away with the elves, and it can also protect us from falling when crossing snow mountains.

As for the new sub-class traits, only these two have the greatest impact on improving the success rate of rescue operations.

~~~

Your Martial Artist skill level has been raised to 2, and your sub-class Martial Arts skill level has been raised to 1.

Your 'Spiritual Master' has been upgraded to level 6, and your subclass 'Soul Refiner' has been upgraded to level 1.

+2 to base attribute points, +20 to maximum health, +25 to maximum stamina, and +25 to maximum mana.

All your alternate bodies have been updated.

~

[Refining Qi into Spirit] (Level 1 Supernatural Power)

Permanently increases one point in one of the user's [Intelligence], [Perception], and [Charm] [Base Attributes].

~

[Spiritual Soul Refinement] (Soul Refinement Level 1)

Permanently increases one point in one of the user's [Intelligence], [Perception], and [Charm] [Base Attributes].

System Description

【Attribute (State) Classification and Overlay Rules】

Basic attributes: Permanent attributes or abilities gained through personal growth; attributes of the same type can be stacked. Marked with 【】 in the panel.

Empowerment type: Temporary attributes, abilities, or statuses gained by activating one's own potential. These do not stack; only the highest value is taken. They are indicated by '' in the panel.

Enchantments: Temporary attributes, abilities, or statuses gained through magic or magical items. These do not stack; only the highest value is applied. They are indicated in [] on the character panel.

~~~

In short, basic attributes or statuses can be stacked without thinking, while for the other two types of attributes or statuses, just choose the one with the best effect.

Yes, when the true body is upgraded, all the substitute bodies will also be updated simultaneously, so there's no need to spend resources to refine them all again, which is quite convenient.

Lorne's lips curled slightly as he added the 2 points of basic attribute he gained from the upgrade to [Charm].

With 30 Strength, 17 Action Points, and 320 Life, let's give it a shot; maybe we can actually defeat Gorgon.

Lorne's lips curled up, and he began to look forward to this "Mogo-Kshaka" match.

Okay, go to sleep now, we'll set off as soon as I wake up.

No, we haven't used up all our psionic energy yet; we can't let it go to waste.

We currently only have two substitute bodies, but we can refine eight more and store them for future use.

After consuming eight surges of spiritual energy to fully replenish his substitute body, Lorne finally began meditative sleep, completely satisfied.

……

Four hours passed quickly. When Lorne opened his eyes, he felt refreshed and relaxed.

After glancing at the system panel and confirming that all statuses were fully restored, he called Nelly to the command room.

The morning sun shone through the window onto the sand table. Only Kovina was in the command room. Upon seeing Lorne enter, she said:

"Saloville hasn't returned yet, but Mondrich already knows about the plan. He said he needs to hurry up and train the militia. Get ready to leave and go directly to the drill ground to find him. Your supplies for crossing the snow mountain are also prepared and placed there."

"Alright, I was just planning to familiarize myself with the fighting style of orc warriors, so he can be my sparring partner."

Kovina's eyes lit up at his suggestion, and she said, "I'll spar with you. Mondridge isn't good at close combat, or do you want to be ganged up on by his animal friends?"

"Of course, that would be perfect." Lorne smiled and nodded, then added:

"The orc army has a high proportion of warriors. You can gather all the available elves in the fortress to observe. It should be helpful in the later battles."

"Okay." Kovina immediately summoned a messenger and ordered him to gather the men, while she went to the training ground with Lorne.

……

On the training ground, Monteridge was teaching a group of elves how to use a bow and arrow, while Terratus was teaching another group of elves how to use a spear.

The spear is a common military weapon, particularly advantageous in positional warfare and siege warfare.

Elven spears typically have their blades shaped like maple leaves, resembling the halberd in both function and shape.

Some elven warriors also use double-headed spears as their primary weapon, with a blade that is more similar to a three-pointed double-edged sword.

Upon seeing Lorne and Kervina arrive at the training ground, Terratus immediately trotted over, carrying a wooden double-headed spear used for training, and stood at attention, saluting: "May the goddess bless the elves!"

Lorne and Kovina returned the gift at the same time.

Monteridge also walked over at that moment and saluted the three of them as well.

"Shall we leave now?" Monteridge asked.

Lorne shook his head slightly: "No rush. Let's set off now. It will only be dark when we arrive at our destination."

"I plan to challenge Gorgon later in the night, which will better utilize Nelly's stalker advantage and increase the success rate of the rescue."

"I also need to practice before setting off, so that I don't make any mistakes at crucial moments."

"At the same time, let everyone see the orcs' fighting style, so they can suffer less losses when defending the city later."

After Lorne finished speaking, he used [Substitute Life Transformation] and transformed into the orc warrior Zaku.

"This is..." Terratus stared wide-eyed at the orc Lorne with astonishment.

Lorne was too lazy to explain verbally, so he simply pulled Terratus into the MindNet and sent him a message.

"Which of you two will spar with me?" Lorne rubbed his hands together, a wicked grin spreading across his large mouth with two fangs.

"I'll do it!" Terratus's eyes shone brightly, eager to try.

"Okay!" Lorne agreed loudly, while simultaneously using the system to check Terratus's sub-class level.

[Terratus, Sun Elf, Level 8 Warrior (Archery Mastery Level 4, Raid Mastery Level 4), Health 180/180]

Well, archery and team battles are very militarized sub-class directions.

Zaku has level 5 in Gladiator Training and level 7 in Shield Fighting Training. Wouldn't it be too unfair to a Pokémon to fight him one-on-one?

Lorne strode toward the training weapons rack, shouting:

"Let me make this clear first, my warrior specializes in gladiator combat and shield fighting. I'm already a master in gladiator combat and an instructor in shield fighting. You'll find it very frustrating to fight you!"

He deliberately spoke loudly so that all the elves watching could hear him clearly, so as not to embarrass Terratus later.

"It's alright, the more hardship you endure on the training ground, the less blood you bleed on the battlefield!" Terratus shouted loudly behind Lorne, his spirit not faltering at all.

"Well said!" Lorne exclaimed in praise, then began selecting weapons.
