Through studying the images that appeared in his mind, Kiriman quickly gained so comprehension.
The so-called sword technique: Shock (Level 1).
Its principle wasn't actually complicated—it was the basic application of the "shock" technique.
Simply put, it used one's own explosive power to create an instantaneous impact that could repel enemies.
For example, during weapon clashes, it could vibrate away an opponent's weapon, creating an opening for a decisive strike.
During hand-to-hand combat, it could use the body or limbs to disrupt an enemy's defensive posture, creating opportunities to attack vital points.
This technique demanded high explosive power and control, sowhat similar to the modern martial arts concept of inch power.
It emphasized concealed sharpness, seeking opportunities for single-strike kills.
This actually shared so similarity with the Viper School's philosophy, no wonder it was hidden within this swordsmanship style.
Unfortunately, Valessa wasn't here, otherwise he could have tested the sword technique's effectiveness with this highly skilled elven swordswoman.
Recently, perhaps because of their intimate relationship, the beautiful elf had grown increasingly close to him, even unintentionally revealing many secrets she shouldn't have.
Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that Valessa was deliberately leaving so clues, like slowly boiling a frog, aiming to make him gradually accept the forces behind Ammonite Village.
This had a bit of that "board the train first, buy ticket later" feeling.
Kiriman sighed inwardly, but he didn't dislike this sensation.
His attention quickly returned to the important matter of upgrading his skills.
【Viper School Swordsmanship】 had temporarily reached its level cap at LV3. To continue upgrading, he needed to complete the first stage of soul ascension and enter the second phase.
Not only that, although he had only learned two sword techniques so far, his Perfect Witcher Body talent was exceptional. His strength and agility attributes had nearly reached this body's current limits, reaching 3.82 and 3.54 respectively.
If he continued boosting physical attributes, he didn't know whether the excess would be wasted or cause physical damage. Either way, it wouldn't be worthwhile and shouldn't be attempted.
So his most important task now was to quickly complete soul advancent or learn spell-type skills to improve his spirit and magic attributes.
Kiriman sighed, feeling sowhat helpless.
The path to godhood was indeed difficult.
Most people's fates were determined from birth, with almost no chance of changing their circumstances.
Only soone like him, possessing special abilities and not bound by predetermined fate, could seize opportunities amidst danger.
Looking at his remaining nine hundred soul points, without hesitation, Kiriman directly upgraded both 【Alder Magic Sign】 and 【Igni Magic Sign】 by one level each.
After his ntal panel blurred montarily, it displayed:
【Alder Magic Sign】, Level: LV2, Spirit increased by 0.2, Magic increased by 0.6.
Special Technique: Psychic Explosion (After slight charging, direct Alder Magic Sign toward the ground, creating 360-degree knockback effect).
Current level cap: LV3, requires five hundred soul points to advance to next level.
【Igni Magic Sign】 Level: LV2, Spirit increased by 0.2, Magic increased by 0.6.
Special Technique: Fla Jet (Continuously consus magic power, enabling Igni Magic Sign to produce fla jet effect, dealing continuous fire damage to target until spellcasting stops or magic is exhausted).
Current level cap: LV3, requires five hundred soul points to advance to next level.
Remaining total soul points: five hundred.
Upgrading both magic sign skills by one level each consud four hundred soul points.
The result was a 0.2 increase in spirit attribute and 0.6 increase in magic attribute, plus two special usage thods for the magic signs.
This would allow him to better handle various combat situations and increase his adaptability.
From the results perspective, it was definitely worthwhile—truly worthy of being exclusive Witcher skills.
The improvent in spirit and magic felt different from the painful yet pleasurable sensation of physical enhancent.
He only felt the mysterious power overflowing from his soul space divide into two parts.
One part drilled into his brain, strengthening his mind.
The other part entered his chest, seemingly enhancing the Witcher mutation organs within his body.
It appeared these two parts of the body respectively determined a Witcher's spirit and magic attributes, which aligned with the knowledge he had learned.
Several minutes later.
The enhancent of spirit and magic didn't bring painful sensations. Aside from slight dizziness and nausea, his body didn't experience any other abnormalities.
If there were any changes, it would be the increased acuity of his five senses, and the storage capacity and circulation speed of magic within his body seed to have beco faster and stronger.
Looking at the remaining five hundred soul points on his panel, although he could still upgrade one more skill, Kiriman was a cautious man unwilling to take excessive risks.
He couldn't accept not keeping enough soul points to heal even one fatal injury. He needed to always retain a hidden card, so he simply ended this enhancent session.
He decided to wait until his total soul points exceeded one thousand again before considering further upgrades.
………………
After completing the skill upgrade work.
Noticing the black gri that had erged on his body, Kiriman went to Valessa's bathroom, filled the tub with water, then used Igni's fla jet ability aid at the bathwater, directly heating it to a comfortable temperature for a hot bath.
Surprisingly, in less than five minutes, the bathroom beca filled with steam, almost turning into a sauna room.
Although it consud nearly one-third of his magic power, it proved unexpectedly very useful.
It seed that in the future, when needing to heat things and feeling too lazy to make fire, using this Igni fla jet ability would be a good alternative.
Kiriman's lips twitched slightly, then he slipped into the tub and began washing himself.
About ten minutes later, after cleaning himself thoroughly, he was just preparing to continue soaking and enjoy himself properly.
Unfortunately, perhaps the Goddess of Fate didn't want him to relax too much, when Valessa's sowhat anxious voice suddenly ca from the hall not far outside the door.
"Kiriman, I have an urgent matter needing your help. Co out quickly."
An urgent matter?
Hearing Valessa's anxious voice, Kiriman didn't overthink it. He casually grabbed a towel from the rack, wrapped it around his waist, pushed open the bathroom door, and walked toward the hall.
However, to his slight embarrassnt, Valessa wasn't alone in the hall.
Besides her, there was an elven woman who appeared to be in her thirties or forties, with a voluptuous figure but average appearance, standing there with an anxious and weary expression.
Seeing him co out practically naked with only a towel wrapped around him, Valessa raised her eyebrows in surprise.
However, the beautiful elf clearly couldn't be bothered with such details. Before Kiriman could even approach, she directly said:
"There's an ergency commission requiring your help, Kiriman."
"Yesterday evening, a little girl went missing. We suspect she's been kidnapped. We hope you can rescue her."
Kiriman listened to this sowhat abrupt explanation with furrowed brows, not particularly concerned about his exposed masculinity. He casually sat on a chair and said in a calm voice: For original chapters go to novelꞁire
"Don't rush, Valessa. Explain the situation clearly first."
"No matter how urgent the commission, if the details aren't made clear, it will be difficult for to handle."
