Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 65 Witchcraft and Warriors

[Ding! Martial art "Solar Fist" discovered. Do you wish to learn it?]

Looking at the system prompts, Yaro's thoughts were a bit jumbled.

He had long had a series of conjectures and plans about his future, including the use of the martial arts system.

The root of it all lies in the book "Knight's Breathing Technique" that I encountered in my childhood.

The system at the time also issued a notification sound, but Yaro didn't have enough skill points to learn it directly.

What if we had skill points?
Will I learn it directly?
Furthermore, the name change from "Guardian Breathing Technique" to "Knight's Breathing Technique" indirectly indicates that the system will only react when the user believes a book is a skill book, and that book is indeed a skill book.

Is this confusing?

Did Yarrow know how to read at that time?
He doesn't know him!

But he knew that the book at the time was "The Guard's Breathing Techniques," a skill book that allowed one to become powerful by cultivating breathing rhythms, so the system gave him a notification!

He doesn't need to recognize the words written in it, but he must know the general content of the book!
Knowing this about the system itself opens up a lot of potential for use.

Yaro had long suspected the difference between martial arts and witchcraft.

In witchcraft, if you see an animal with amazing abilities, what would you do?
If I can't beat them, I'll join them, find a way to kill that animal, and then remove its magical organs and implant them into my own body.

Or not?

I also had that animal's bloodline implanted in me, so now we're all the same.

This may be the origin of the bloodline side among the three major categories of wizards.

What about martial arts?
That praying mantis is quite good at swinging its arms; I'll learn it too—Praying Mantis Kung Fu.

If that doesn't work, we can always try the Mantis Blade Technique.

Similar styles include Cat-Shaped Fist, Tiger-Shaped Fist, Lion-Shaped Fist, Duck-Shaped Fist, Chicken-Shaped Fist, Snake-Shaped Fist, Crane-Shaped Fist, etc.

Of course, this is just for the sake of the meaning.

Other martial arts that take their form from external techniques include Eagle Claw Kung Fu, Golden Bell Cover, and Iron Shirt, all of which involve external training to develop similar physical characteristics.

Including some of the movies and TV shows that Yalu watched in his previous life, those high-martial arts worlds, where people cast dragons, tigers, eagles, snakes, etc., they all learned their forms, rather than going to kill two animals and putting their limbs into their own bodies.

Yaro didn't know if his guess was correct, but he had indeed planned his route this way.

They do not follow the bloodline path, but only the pure elemental wizard route.

If I have the opportunity in the future, I will capture some extraordinary creatures, study their structures, and then see if I can simulate those structures using elements.

Martial arts are for self-defense, while shamanism is for seeking the Dao.
This is the path of development that Yarrow has chosen for himself!

That's why he always kept a few skill points and mainly focused on increasing his neural reflexes when allocating them.

Once the future development path is planned, will other attributes still be of any help to him?

Strength? Endurance? Agility? Physique?

I already have the Azure Dragon in my left hand and the White Tiger in my right, and you're still telling me this?

It's just nerve reflexes, which seem to be of some use.

After all, with a faster reaction speed, one can deal with any unexpected situation and ensure their attack speed.

For these reasons, Yaro reserved the three skill points for when he figured out how to use elemental power and build simulations of other biological structures.

But now, a notification has appeared!
This completely disrupted Yarrow's plans!
Because—three skill points might not be enough!
Furthermore, there is a very strange problem involved.

Why does 'Light Spell' give no warning, but 'Solar Fist' does?

In summary, we can propose four hypotheses.

First, because of the name.

Second, only those involving the addition of full-body movements are counted.

Third, only counterattack methods created to deal with the enemy count.

Fourth, only moves executed at close range are considered moves.

These hypotheses may overlap, meaning that only when several hypotheses are combined can the correct answer be found.

The worst-case scenario is that only close-range attacks are considered. Verifying these hypotheses wasn't difficult, and Yaro immediately began.

The first hypothesis was quickly rejected.

Giving a few level-zero magic tricks Chinese names individually will not be recognized by the system.

Immediately, the second hypothesis was also rejected.

Even adding a dance sequence during spellcasting won't get the system to accept it, and giving it fancy names won't change anything.

The rejection of this conjecture actually relieved Yaro, as he didn't want to face other laws in the future.

While others stand tall and imposing, you're awkwardly dancing on the sidelines.

Hehe~ Where's the applause~

Ahhhhh!
I feel like dying!

Let's verify the third conjecture!

Yaro didn't want to waste too much time, so he picked up the scrap paper he had drawn earlier and copied some counterattack moves that weren't meant for close combat into a new notebook.

Then it was named "Spirit Bomb"!
...The system did not respond.

Could it be that the name I chose doesn't fit the function of the skill?

Then let's rename it "Light Bullet"... but the system still didn't respond.

Is this really the fourth hypothesis?

To verify the fourth conjecture, Yarrow changed his approach and prepared to use proof by contradiction.

He first took out the "Solar Fist" book that had been certified by the system and copied it again.

This is to prevent haphazard modifications from damaging the skill book.

If it was copied, even if none of these conjectures apply, there is still a skill book that can be compared, and there is still a chance to explore the reason why the skill book was formed.

In the newly copied version of "The Fist of the Sun," Yaro kept a slight distance between himself and the target when casting the Light spell.

Then... nothing happened.

Yes, if you only pull it apart a little bit, the system won't recognize it!

Yaro then adjusted the distance in this newly copied "Solar Fist" and got close to his body again.

—[Ding! Martial art "Solar Fist" discovered. Do you wish to learn it?]

Well, that darn Murphy's Law, the most unfortunate guess has been confirmed!

Even so, it's not over yet.

Yaro still needs to verify one more thing.

That is, if we remove the use of 'flash powder' from this martial arts technique and use pure self-casting, will the system still recognize it?
This is also crucial!
Yaro has yet to successfully cast a spell!
If the system approves, he only needs to use one skill point to quickly get started and learn how to cast spells himself!

This will save a lot of time!

Having had several experiences, Yaro already knew that the difficulty of many skills lay in the initial learning process.

Take his Catwalk Fist for example. If he hadn't received the 'careful instruction' from Teacher Gemma, he wouldn't have been able to learn the 'Catwalk Fist - Running' at all, let alone reach the master level he has now!

What's difficult for those who don't know how is easy for those who do!
Once you get the hang of it, the rest is just a matter of becoming more proficient.

—[Ding! Martial art "Solar Fist" discovered. Do you wish to learn it?]

That works!

Should I study it?

Do not!
Yaro is planning to make it even more difficult!
This is like encountering a wish-granting fairy king; how can a normal person have a wish granted?
Give me three more!

Three 'Light Spells' overlapped, and all three were cast at once. The name was still "Solar Fist"!
If possible, it would allow one to directly enhance their spell control abilities to a higher level.

————【Ding! Martial art "Sun Fist" discovered, three levels in total. Do you wish to learn the first level?】

……All right.
