..

Besides the attribute requirements, is weapon specialization also required?

Xia Zuo was stunned for a moment. He looked at his character template and was even more confused. He didn't have any weapon specialization and was a complete novice in melee combat.

How long will it take to reach the minimum usage requirements for the elemental chain hammer?

Xia Zuo was somewhat conflicted.

He doesn't actually need to specifically learn a melee skill.

But looking at the appearance of this Yuan Energy Chain Hammer and its item characteristics, it's truly tempting.

Imagine that scene:

First, cast a Vulnerable Curse on a large group of enemies to reduce their physical resistance, then charge into the crowd and swing your chain hammer, hacking and slashing wildly.

Xia Zuo instantly felt his blood surging, especially since he was naturally thick-skinned, making him perfectly suited for this fighting style.

Of course, being a curse mage or turret mage and sneakily casting spells behind your teammates is also a good option.

However, these two are not contradictory!

When the enemy thought he was a curse mage who couldn't be approached.

He pulled out a Elemental Chain Hammer, summoned a heavily armored elemental body, and charged forward.

It can wield a chain hammer to face enemies head-on at close range, or cast curses to deal damage from afar. It has high health, thick defense, and fast health regeneration.

Find another teammate to cast a blessing spell to remove the negative effects.

Invincible!

So... is it possible to swing a chain hammer and cast a spell at the same time?

Xia Zuo touched his forehead, feeling confident that he could do it.

When using [Blood Sacrifice Casting] to cast a curse spell, he doesn't need to consciously maintain the spell. As long as his health is sufficient, the curse spell will remain in effect.

Xia Zuo pondered for a few seconds, then looked at the bald man who had bent down to pick up the elemental chain hammer:

“Master, may I use magic here? I want to try to see if I can cast curses while wielding a chain hammer.”

"Your status is different now. As long as you don't break the law, no one will bother you. Even if you use Windwalk to wander the streets, the bailiffs who come to question you will be stopped by the garrison mage. Of course, I don't recommend you do that. It's best to abide by the mage's rules and regulations. Otherwise, it will make things difficult for Lady Starry Night."

Rexor put the Elemental Chain Hammer back into his alchemy pouch and pointed it at the metal dummy by the wall:

"You can use that dummy as the target of your spell."

"As for what you said about casting spells in battle, I can tell you the answer directly."

"The sign is born for battle."

"Most spells cast using signs can be used in close combat with enemies. As long as you can withstand the enemy's attacks and have enough energy, you can maintain sign spells at all times."

The primary attribute of the Witcher school is Willpower, followed by Spirit, which makes them well-suited for combat using Signs and weapons.

Xia Zuo activated [Blood Sacrifice Spellcasting], casting a fragile curse on the dummy.

He picked up the wooden chain hammer and pounded it against the dummy, but the cursed brand remained firmly imprinted on the dummy.

Just as I thought! Sign spells and melee weapons are a perfect match!

Fantasy battle scenarios could very well become a reality!

Chapter 67 [Blood Point Reversal], [Flesh and Blood Disguise] (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

Xia Zuo lifted the curse spell, excitedly swung his wooden chain hammer, and turned to ask:

"Master, how long do I need to train before I can use the Elemental Chain Hammer?"

“Normally, it takes about five or six years to learn. Even for a highly talented Witcher apprentice, it takes about three years.”

Rexol pointed at Shazo.

"But you are a pure-blooded mage, and your body's regenerative abilities are unparalleled. The speed of your training depends on how much pain you can endure."

Rexor drew two chain maces from his waist, the left one made of wood and the right one made of metal.

"If you want to learn faster, we'll go straight to the real thing. The training process will involve bloodshed, even fractures and internal organ damage."

"If you're afraid of pain, then let's follow the steps honestly and start learning from the wooden chain hammer."

Without hesitation, Xia Zuo pointed to the other person's right hand and said:

"I want to learn quickly! I'm not afraid of pain."

"Ha! I hope so. How about I give you a try first, so you won't regret it later?" Rexol said half-jokingly.

Xia Zuo patted his chest and said loudly, "Come on, give it a try!"

He also wanted to know how much damage cold weapons could do to him; he just needed to survive one hit.

"Are you serious?" Rexol's eyes widened, an incredulous look on his face.

"Yes, I'm serious." Xia Zuo activated [Stone Skin Armor], and his skin became dull, as if mud had been smeared all over his body.

In the basic stage, Stone Skin Armor only passively reduces physical damage by 2%.

Xia Zuo glanced at the metal hammerhead and felt that he might not be able to withstand a beating, so he walked to the edge of the training ground and picked out a worn-out leather armor to put on.

"You're wearing this?" Rexor frowned, somewhat worried, and pointed to the clothes rack beside him. "There's a training suit of armor over there."

“No, Master. I want to experience what it feels like to be hit. I’ve never tried to see just how much damage I can withstand,” Xia Zuo said, looking directly at the other person.

“Fine. I’ll grant your wish.” Rexol tossed the wooden chain mace to the sidelines and unchained the metal chain mace.

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~" Rexor swung his hammer.

"Uh... Master, don't charge up, just hit me directly." Xia Zuo shook his head repeatedly at the spinning hammer, his scalp tingling... If he got killed by the bald man, that would be a disaster.

Rexor nodded, stopped spinning the hammer, and counted down:

"Ready, 3, 2, 1!"

Xia Zuo tensed all his muscles, focusing his attention on the opponent's attack trajectory.

"Bang!" The head slammed down on the side of the waist, causing the waist to cave in.

"Pfft~" Xia Zuo clutched his side and spat out a mouthful of blood.

-100

At the same time, it resulted in three negative effects.

[Moderate internal bleeding]: 50 blood points are lost per minute.

[Moderate fracture]: Movement speed is reduced by 50%. There is a certain probability that the fracture will worsen and new bleeding will occur when moving or taking action.

[Moderate Pain]: Each time you move or take action, your [Willpower] attribute will be checked. If the check fails, the move or action will fail.

"Cough cough..."

Xia Zuo knelt on the ground and coughed up blood a few times, using 5 health packs to fully restore his health.

[Immortal Body] is active.

Xia Zuo stood up with a rosy complexion. His waist muscles and bones twitched, and the depression returned to its original state.

Apart from the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth and the blood on the ground, there was no indication that he was injured.

Rexol rubbed his chin, his gaze sweeping over the other man. "Truly amazing bloodline power. You were almost unable to stand after that attack, yet you're completely unharmed. No wonder you have a top-tier bloodline from the Second Era."

Xia Zuo's gaze lingered on the blood at his feet, and he didn't look up at the bald man for a long time, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful light.

At this time yesterday, he used [Flesh and Blood Manipulation] to draw a line of blood from his body and demonstrate his ability to manipulate blood to Rexor.

He clearly remembered that the bloodline vanished into thin air the moment he released [Flesh Control].

But now...

The blood on the ground and the bloodstains around the mouth are still there, they haven't disappeared.

Is it only the bloodline summoned by [Flesh and Blood Control] that will disappear directly?

With a thought, Xia Zuo activated [Flesh and Blood Control], drawing out a 10-centimeter-long bloodline from under his skin and circling it around him.

Rexormo stroked his chin and said:

"Are you...awakening a new innate spell?"

Xia Zuo stared at the bloodline beside him and nodded silently.

Rexor stepped to the sidelines, making room for his opponent. In his view, it was a good thing that Shazor could cast blood magic in front of him, indicating that Shazor was beginning to adapt to his new identity.

In the center of the training field.

Xia Zuo raised his left hand and manipulated the bloodline to float above his palm and coil into a blood ball.

He raised his right hand again and placed his mind on the ground.
