The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 182 Physical Techniques

Even the five of them felt their mental state was affected after taking this secret medicine for a long time.

They thought they could resist the side effects of the secret medicine with their strong strength and willpower, but they ultimately underestimated the power of the dragon bone.

Dragon bones also have another function: to enhance physical fitness and improve health.

When people come into contact with dragon bones and use them to improve their physical condition, they will be pleasantly surprised to find that their bodies become stronger and full of power.

Strength, speed, and endurance have all been significantly improved.

The downside of this approach is that it cannot extend lifespan; people cannot gain immortality through it. No matter how strong the body becomes, the length of life remains finite.

However, its advantage is that it has almost no side effects and will not erode a person's consciousness like a secret drug; it simply improves a person's physical fitness.

Wes doesn't need to worry about his lifespan for now, since the power of the Philosopher's Stone hidden within him is immense. It's just that his current physical condition isn't strong enough to absorb it all.

The power of the Philosopher's Stone is like a dormant volcano, containing endless potential, but he cannot fully absorb it due to the limitations of his body.

At this moment, the power of the dragon bones was just enough to solve this problem.

Wes then used the Mind Stone to check if there were any remnants of the dragon's consciousness or soul in the dragon bones.

The gem of the soul shines.

Under the glow of the gemstones, Wes carefully explored every corner of the dragon's skeleton.

Sure enough, he discovered the remaining spiritual energy.

Although that spiritual power was weak, it still exuded an ancient and mysterious aura.

However, with the Mind Stone in hand, Wes easily eliminated this mental energy.

"If I had the Mind Stone when I got the Philosopher's Stone, I wouldn't have had to go through all that trouble with sacrifices," Wes thought to himself.

Even so, Wes did not use the dragon bone directly, but instead set up an alchemy array to extract the power from the dragon bone.

Under the influence of the alchemy array, the power within the dragon bones was gradually purified, transforming into a ball of pure blue energy.

The energy body emitted a soft light, like a dazzling gemstone.

Wes then felt reassured to use it. He carefully guided the ball of pure energy into his body, feeling the powerful force flowing through him.

Wes felt his physical abilities slowly improving.

He could feel his strength increasing, his speed becoming faster, and his endurance significantly improving.

"Why not take this opportunity to hone my physical skills, especially with ready-made sparring partners and instructors?" This thought suddenly popped into Wes' mind.

Lady Gao, Botu, Naito Soma, Murakami, and Sowanda—each of them has practiced physical techniques for hundreds of years, possessing rich experience and profound strength.

He's more than capable of guiding Wes, a complete novice.

Weiss believed that with their guidance, his physical skills would definitely improve significantly.

He looks forward to growing and becoming stronger in the process.

Wes's purpose in training physical skills was very clear: to avoid being captured when someone got close to him.

In countless worlds, all sorts of unexpected situations can occur.

Especially in the heat of battle, the enemy may try every means to get close to you, attempting to find an opening to deliver a fatal blow.

Without certain physical skills to protect oneself, one is likely to be put in an extremely passive situation once the enemy gets close, and may even lose one's life as a result.

You may also encounter enemies that specifically target wizards and magicians.

He had imagined countless dangerous scenarios in his mind, envisioning his helplessness and panic when facing close-range attacks from enemies.

This worry weighed heavily on his mind like a stone, forcing him to resolve to cultivate physical skills and improve his close combat abilities.

The five people first checked Wes's physical condition.

After being enhanced by the Philosopher's Stone, Wes's physique has surpassed that of ordinary people.

His body was full of power, and every cell seemed to contain endless potential.

According to martial arts novels, Wes is a martial arts prodigy, one in a million.

His strong physical attributes laid a solid foundation for his training in physical techniques.

With the power of the dragon bone, Wes has no fear of getting injured.

The mysterious energy contained within the dragon bone can not only enhance his physical abilities but also rapidly repair his body when he is injured.

This powerful regenerative ability allowed Wes to train in physical techniques without any worries.

He can challenge his limits to his heart's content without worrying about getting injured and affecting his cultivation progress.

Thus, the training of physical skills entered a hellish mode from the very beginning.

For the first few days, Madam Gao and the others only taught some basic movements and things to pay attention to.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

They patiently explained the key points of each movement, demonstrating the correct posture and way of exerting force.

Weiss listened intently, trying to remember every detail. He repeated the basic movements over and over again, constantly adjusting his posture and the force he applied, striving for perfection.

Once Wes has adapted, they will face off directly.

At first, Weiss couldn't even touch Mrs. Gosling's clothes.

His movements appeared clumsy and slow to Madam Gao and the others.

Mrs. Gao and her group were far faster and stronger than Wes, easily dodging his attacks while quickly launching counterattacks.

Wes was being beaten repeatedly, his body being struck again and again, the pain spreading throughout his body.

But he did not back down at all; on the contrary, he became even more determined to cultivate his physical skills.

Under Weiss's orders, Mrs. Gao and her four companions showed no mercy.

Weiss knew that only in this way could he grow faster.

With the double protection of the dragon bone and the magic potion, Wes barely rested all day.

The power of the dragon bones continuously repaired his body, while the potion provided him with sustained energy.

He is full of energy every day, as if he never gets tired.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the training of physical skills.

The Mind Stone also played a significant role. It acted like an amplifier, allowing Wes to learn at a speed dozens of times faster than ordinary people.

Every second, Wes is improving.

He could clearly feel his body getting stronger.

In less than a month, Wes was able to defend against Mrs. Gao's attacks.

His movements became more agile, and his reactions became faster.

He was no longer the novice who could only get beaten up; he had mastered the basics of martial arts.

He could feel his body constantly growing stronger, and the power of the Philosopher's Stone hidden within him was being rapidly absorbed.
