Full-Time Psychic Martial Artist

Chapter 74 Combat Recovery for Different Classes

"When will we hold a pre-war mobilization meeting?" Saina asked.

"About an hour," Lorne said, "let the elves digest their food. Quite a few of them must have eaten too much this morning."

Upon hearing this, Saina looked at Kovina with a reproachful expression.

Kovina chuckled awkwardly and changed the subject, saying, "Shall we hurry up and practice?"

Lorne smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's practice."

"What are we practicing this time?" Kovina asked.

"[Dual-wielding shield and battle shield]." Lorne said, looking at Nelly and smiling, "Nelly, you come too, attack me with Kovina."

"Mmm!" Nelly responded sweetly and quickly walked into the armory by the field.

Kovina followed.

While the two elves were getting their training weapons, Lorne leveled up.

A warm current flowed through my body, and extraordinary knowledge entered my soul.

Your Martial Artist skill has been upgraded to level 7, and your sub-class 'Two Elements' has been upgraded to level 1.

+1 to base attribute points, +15 to maximum health, +15 to maximum stamina, and +5 to maximum mana.

【Two Elements Strike】(Two Elements Level 1)

You can divide the damage you cause into "Yin and Yang".

Yin Yi: shadow, cold, strong acid, slashing, piercing, blunt force.

Yang Yi: Radiance, flame, lightning, force field, mind, sound.

Consume 1 point of Primordial True Qi to enter the Yin-Yang state, which can last up to a long rest.

In the state of Yin and Yang, your melee attacks deal (1d4) Yin and Yang damage upon hitting a target.

You can choose the type of injury you apply, but you must apply the injury in alternation between Yin and Yang, otherwise the Yin-Yang state will be canceled.

Including the two levels the warrior gained earlier, Lorne allocated a total of 3 points to his base attributes. He added these points to [Strength], [Constitution], and [Charisma], raising his Constitution to 32 and his Spirit to 31.

The soul and body grow in sync, and all the substitute bodies are also renewed and strengthened accordingly.

Clenching his fist and feeling himself grow stronger, Lorne felt even more confident about the upcoming fierce battle.

There's still at least a day before the war starts. If we work harder, we might be able to level up a few more times.

When Nelly returned to the center of the field, she had two unsharpened steel daggers in her hands.

Kovina, on the other hand, took a similarly unsharpened hand sword.

Lorne took out two round, heavy steel shields crafted by elves from his storage space, holding one in each hand, and assuming a defensive stance combined with a shield-fighting stance.

"You're attacking me from both sides."

"Alright." Kovina raised her sword with both hands, the hilt above her forehead, assuming a superior stance.

"Hmm." Nelly stood with her feet apart, knees slightly bent, lowering her center of gravity, and holding the dagger halfway in front of her chest, assuming a mid-position stance.

"bring it on."

At Lorne's command, Kovina took the lead and launched a slash.

Lorne did not turn his attention entirely to Kovina, but instead used all his senses to react and block.

The longsword was blocked by the shield with a soft clang.

At the same time, Nelly's attacks followed in quick succession, their angles shifting dramatically.

Lorne, relying on his keen intuition, predicted the attack trajectory and parried it precisely once again.

[Dual Wielding of Shield and Battle Armor] Training Progress +1. (1/100)

"Very good, continue!" Lorne exclaimed in praise.

Kovina and Nelly launched their attacks simultaneously, only to have them blocked by Lorne's shield once again.

Dangdang!

[Dual Wielding of Shield and Battle Armor] Training Progress +1. (2/100)

"Push harder, don't stop!"

Clang! Clang!

[Dual Wielding of Shield and Battle Armor] Training Progress +1. (3/100)

"Faster, go all out, don't give me a chance to catch my breath!"

Ding ding ding ding ding!

[Dual Wielding of Battle Shield] Training Progress +1. (4/100)

【————】

A moment later, Kovina was panting heavily, her face was flushed, her skin was moist, her hair was covered in sweat, and her whole body was steaming.

"I can't go on, I need to rest for a while," Kovina said, panting.

Nelly didn't say anything. She was in much better condition than Kovina, but her pretty face was also flushed, and her skin was so tender that it looked like you could squeeze water out of it with a gentle press.

Lorne glanced at the progress bar and said, "Give it a push, we're almost there. When it comes to fighting, the enemy won't give you time to rest."

Upon hearing this, Kovina's eyes immediately turned serious. She took a deep breath and raised her hand sword once more.

Nelly also raised her dagger, ready to attack.

The two elves exchanged a glance and launched their attacks simultaneously in perfect unison.

Lorne immediately raised his shield to block.

Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding ding ding!

The moment his cultivation progress jumped to 100/100, a sense of clarity surged through his entire body, and Lorne shivered with pleasure.

You have learned [Dual Wielding of Battle Shields].

Your "Warrior" class has reached level 5, and your subclass "Shield Warrior Training" has reached level 3.

Your base attribute points +1, maximum health +15, maximum stamina +15, maximum mana +5.

You have completed the personal growth event [Warrior Training], gaining 30 x 10 experience points. (310/1000)

"Alright, let's take a break," Lorne said with a smile to his two sparring partners.

"Ah—" Kovina sighed, her whole body relaxed, and she sat down on the ground with a thud, panting heavily.

Nelly collapsed to the ground in a bird-like sitting position. Although she was also breathing heavily, she made much less noise than Kovina.

In contrast, Lorne seemed completely unaffected, with a normal complexion and steady breathing, only a few beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Didn't you use [Warrior Breath] just now?" Lorne smiled.

Kovina, panting, said, "I used it, but it wasn't as effective as you, a true warrior."

Lorne nodded knowingly.

The healing effect of [Warrior Breath] is affected by both [Warrior Class Level] and "Constitution Adjustment Value". Since Kovina's values ​​for both are lower than his, it's normal that the effect is much worse.

What intrigued Lorne even more was how Nelly, as a stalker, could have better stamina than Kovina.

After checking the system battle report, I realized that Rogues also have the class trait of recovering stamina during combat.

【Shadow Dance】(Rogue, Shadow Dance Level 1)

When you are in the shadows, each successful attack or defense grants you 1 stack of "Shadow Dance" for 6 seconds, with a maximum stack of (subclass level × 10 + perception adjustment value).

A successful spell attack or save will grant double the number of Shadow Dance stacks.

When the duration of "Shadow Dance" ends, the number of stacks decreases by 10, and the duration of the remaining stacks is refreshed.

Every 5 stacks of "Shadow Dance" will restore 1 point of health per turn.

[Tutor's Correction]:

Each successful attack or defense grants 2 stacks of "Shadow Dance".

At this time, most of the training ground is shaded by the castle tower, allowing Shadow Dance to be triggered throughout.

Nelly is currently a level 4 Shadow Dancer with 20 Perception and +5 Adjustment. She can stack up to 45 layers, and when fully stacked, she can recover 9 HP per turn, which is indeed much stronger than Kovina's Warrior Breath.

"Speaking of which, paladins should also have skills that restore stamina during battle, right?" Lorne asked, looking at Kovina.

"Yes, but I didn't use it just now."

"Why not use it?" Lorne asked simply out of curiosity, without any intention of blaming.

Kovina replied, "Using it will restore your strength, and I'm afraid it will affect your cultivation."

"It's okay, you can use it. I'll let you know if it causes any problems."

"Okay." After saying that, Kovina raised her left hand, lightly touched her brow with her index and middle fingers, closed her eyes, and chanted a spell in the ancient Elven language.

Under the psychic perception, gentle life energy rippled outwards from her center, nourishing the bodies of the three elves.

You have learned [Endurance Aura].

[Endurance Aura] (Paladin)

One cycle, a change, standard spellcasting action, focus, continue for 10 minutes.

Within a 5-meter radius, all allies recover (Charisma modifier) ​​points of stamina each turn. (At least 1 point of stamina is recovered.)

Ascending Ring Casting:

With each ring raised, the radius increases by 5 meters.
