Aksa appeared somewhat surprised:
"Have you thought it through? These martial arts training sessions require a lot of time."
"I have some special advantages."
Ron smiled slightly, and didn’t elaborate on the existence of the Stand-In Puppet, instead he simply said:
"Regarding physical training, I have special methods that won’t affect my progress on the Wizard path.
Besides, I believe that simultaneous development of multiple paths can bring unexpected synergy effects."
"For instance, the Wizard’s Spiritual Power training can enhance my perception of the battlefield, which is beneficial for the ’Gap-Seeking Technique’ in terms of observation and perception.
Meanwhile, the Weapon Master’s physical training can boost my stamina and casting stability."
Aksa was surprised by Ron’s way of thinking, but also somewhat impressed:
"Your thinking is quite innovative.
Traditionally, Wizards often focus on the cultivation of Spirit and Magic Power, overlooking physical training, or rely on bloodline transplantation to compensate. Yet you can see the possibility of combining both."
"In that case."
The Tiger-man Weapon Master stood up and faced Ron with a standard Beast Race martial arts salute:
"From today onward, I will do my utmost to teach you all the knowledge and skills of the Weapon Master.
As the first step, I need to thoroughly assess your current level of weapon mastery and then formulate a specific training plan."
Ron returned the same courtesy, and the two began to detail the training plan.
Aksa first conducted a comprehensive evaluation of Ron’s Swordsmanship.
He found his foundation to be quite solid, but there is room for improvement in the application of some advanced techniques.
Next, they discussed the selection of the second and third weapon.
Considering Ron’s physical condition and fighting style, Aksa suggested that he choose a long spear as the primary weapon and a throwing short knife as a supplement.
"The long spear emphasizes strength and stability, capable of suppressing opponents in direct confrontations.
In the future, when you forge a Magic Wand, you can also attach a spearhead to it, making it dual-purpose."
Aksa explained:
"The throwing short knife, on the other hand, requires precise control and spatial awareness.
It can neatly train your Spiritual Control Techniques and assist you in accurately hitting Alchemy Bombs or other projectiles."
Ron was pleased with this suggestion; both weapon skills could complement his existing power system well.
"My Breathing Technique training can only be done during daylight with strong light."
He added, starting to plan his schedule:
"The remainder of the time can only be devoted to Basic Body Refining.
For now, I can schedule these times for weapon skill training, maximizing the use of my time."
Aksa nodded in agreement:
"The order and arrangement of training are also important. I suggest practicing the long spear in the afternoon and throwing the short knife at dusk."
He explained:
"Each weapon has its most suitable training time and environment.
The long spear requires burst power and endurance, suitable for the energy-rich afternoon;
The throwing short knife demands high focus and judgment, and the changing shadows at dusk can train your adaptability."
Ron kept these suggestions in mind, constructing a complete training plan in his mind.
After adjusting a few details, a Weapon Master training plan that balances efficiency and comprehensiveness was basically formed.
[New skill detected]
[Basic Swordsmanship (Mastery max) → Cold Weapon Combat (Proficient 30/100)]
[Intuitive Reflex (Beginner 1/50)]
It was time to end this connection.
The prolonged mental engagement had made him feel somewhat fatigued, and he had other matters to attend to.
"I need to leave now."
Ron said to Aksa, "Next time we meet, we will start the formal training."
Aksa nodded in understanding, saying nothing further.
As his consciousness gradually receded, the prairie, the stone platform, and the Tiger-man’s figure slowly faded, and Ron returned to the Meditation Chair in the real world.
He opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the abundant Energy flowing through his body.
This simulation connection turned out even more successful than expected, not only gaining valuable knowledge but also paving a new path for career development.
"The basic functions of the mobile simulation battle device have been stabilized."
Ron stood up and checked the parameters of the device:
"Core stability is over 95%, already capable of supporting long-term high-intensity training."
However, the device’s biggest issue currently is the lack of loaded enemy targets, with only this complete character model of Aksa.
To truly maximize the training value of the device, it requires more diverse opponents and scenarios.
"This step of supplementation depends on the review meeting of the School Alliance in a couple of days."
Ron pondered in his heart:
"Given the potential demonstrated by this technology and the Contribution Points acquired, obtaining the most basic support shouldn’t be much of a challenge."
He believed that once supported by the School Alliance’s resources, the device’s potential would be further released, becoming a strong support for the joint progress of his multiple career paths.
Putting down the empty cup of tea, Ron retrieved the Rune Memory Pearl from the drawer.
The crystalline crystal ball lay quietly in his palm, its interior shimmering with a faint silver light, storing knowledge silently flowing within.
"Next, I still need to continue advancing the study of Rune Magic and Enchantment Technique."
He placed the Memory Pearl on a specially made stand before him:
"Enchanter is crucial for becoming an Ancient Alchemist, and no slacking is allowed."
Gently injecting Spiritual Power, the Memory Pearl immediately lit up with a soft glow, the silver fluid inside slowly swirling into a miniature vortex.
