Chapter 20: Preparation.

[Physical trait…-Cheonmu Jiche is opened!]

It was an unexpected place.

Somehow, I thought they were all buildings I had never seen before.

After getting a little further away from the Demonic Cult, familiar buildings came into view.

“…Anyway, was it a problem that I ate them all?”

The approximately twenty elixirs were now only three left.

But there were gains.

-Cheonmu Jiche 

Has aptitude for all martial arts, contains extreme yin, extreme yang, and all Taichi energies, allowing one to harmoniously learn martial arts, and can even make absolute divine arts one’s own.

It’s that body that is said to be able to memorize the form of martial arts and imitate it even after seeing it once.

‘…But it feels like I got it too easily.’

It’s as if they deliberately told me the way to make it easier for me to find.

But this is good.

Did I finally get on the munchkin drift curve?

When I moved my body, my stiff shoulders became comfortable, and when I pulled up Demonic energy, pure white internal energy resonated.

“Oh….”

A body that automatically elicits admiration.

But at that moment-

-Srreung!

The cursed sword was drawn from its sheath.

The cursed sword, which had never reacted until now, was reacting.

And.

The cursed sword suddenly came out of its sheath and rushed towards my body.

Then, the cursed sword that dug into my body finally rang loudly.

-????

-Cheonmu Jiche…. (Revised)

Classification: The degree of adaptation to Demonic energy increases.

????? You can freely resist everything related to the set destiny. (Unmodifiable)

I take out the cursed sword that is embedded in my chest.

“…You.”

I involuntarily glared at the cursed sword that was shaking.

My head went blank in an instant.

The guy who had been still until now reacted.

Even in a way that harmed me.

Wasn’t it supposed to not resist?

“…What are you doing.”

“You little b*stard, you did this on purpose.”

“Aoh…”

Is it so displeasing that I’m eating without working for it?

As expected, no answer came back from the cursed sword.

Well, because it was a sword.

I looked at the cursed sword that had been embedded in my body for a long time and then pulled out.

…Strangely, blood didn’t come out of the wound where it was pulled out.

“….Hoo.”

What a f*cking…….

If I had just one cheat key, the path to a pure love route extraction ending with Cheon Hye-rin would be clearly visible.

…No, is this dangerous?

How did I come to think of this?

Haa… yes.

Since I tried to eat without working for it, that’s what happened.

It’s like even if the 5-star character you got in a single pull gets nerfed the next day, it’s not too angry because it was easy to get.

It wasn’t that displeasing.

But the fact that the dream of being able to live comfortably without being swayed by Cheon Hye-rin flew away flickered in my eyes.

….No, why does Cheon Hye-rin keep popping up?

[Cheonmu Jiche (Improved)]

By the way, did such a system exist?

Even though there’s no status window.

I tried to raise Demonic energy again.

Demonic energy that doesn’t properly combine with internal energy unlike before.

…But it was definitely better than before.

The problem is that the previous senses are too vivid.

-???Cheonmu Jiche

1. You will have better operating ability for Demonic energy, and the ability to interpret Demonic energy will be expanded.

2. You can resist destiny.

1 is roughly about the ability to use Demonic energy.

I don’t know exactly what 2 means yet.

Destiny? There was no such word in the game.

Well… it’s not bad.

“Haa…. Why do I want to see Cheon Hye-rin at times like this?”

I want to go and tease her.

…But I think I’m becoming less and less normal.

Has the act of performing with my life on the line become fun?

Aou, I’m crazy.

Improved Cheonmu Jiche,

As I operated the Demonic energy I had awakened, it satisfied expectations beyond imagination.

‘Oh, oh.’

I followed the words that Hong Yeon had thrown at me, just in case.

I became engrossed in the operation of Demonic energy as it was.

The path that had been disrupted by internal energy is connected fluently.

As I moved the Demonic energy around inside the vessel, I felt the vessel increasing.

The amount of Demonic energy had already reached twice the previous amount.

‘…I think the average of the guys who train while taking elixirs all day is just a little above this.’

Just by sitting still and doing training to operate Demonic energy, the Demonic energy increased much more than before.

The name value of Cheonmu Jiche seems to be worth it.

It will take some time to follow Hong Yeon’s childhood,

It wasn’t an absolutely impossible story with this growth graph, as if I had surpassed all the geniuses scattered throughout Murim right away.

‘Still… I need the advice of an expert.’

The person to visit was decided.

Powder falling over the large chest.

White hair on the flowing black dragon robe.

“There, run without resting.”

Amnnyang.

Hong Yeon, who was eating dumplings cutely, looked at me and said.

That damned…

Still, today was better than before.

I definitely feel that my stamina has increased as I have been training, but the Demonic energy felt in my body is strangely quiet.

‘I wonder if I asked for nothing…’

Even when she didn’t appear, I used my strength to master Demonic energy several times.

After obtaining the physical trait, I was able to spur on training even more.

Hong Yeon evaluated that I was still lacking in skill, so it was better to rely on my body.

Do I really need the name of the technique?

Gwon 

Fist, this one word.

The one technique I learned from Hong Yeon was that.

The ability to destroy the giant rock that had been shattered more easily.

I could have learned more, but I didn’t increase the techniques any further.

This is because I had directly experienced the fact that I had defeated countless top masters with a simple Demonic energy-filled fist.

Well. In case of emergency…

I had secretly learned techniques such as Cheonmashingwon, Myeolgwona, and Geophwajang, but I don’t intend to use them directly in practice.

In fact, those are cases where you’ll be f*cked if you really use them.

It’s a technique that can be used just before using something like innate true energy in extreme situations like last time.

The meaning of a guy who hasn’t even reached the absolute peak using a technique that requires reaching the realm of Hwagyung has that much weight.

I followed the important rules that Hong Yeon had subtly thrown at me.

First, do not use internal energy mixed in vain.

Second, do not count the number of times if it is not a proper time to make a judgment.

Third, come out after repeating the process of squeezing out completely even after all the energy has been squeezed out of your body more than three times.

Fourth, be moderate with Sword Empress.

…The fourth one is a bit strange.

In the case of the third, I was instructed to continue even if I felt my muscles tearing.

The reason why she made me do it so strictly was because of the elixirs I ate.

In order to absorb them all, I had to endure tremendous training every day.

It also increases efficiency by about 3 times. Not only does it have the effect of going up the mountain 3000 times if you go up the mountain 1000 times, but it also increases your internal energy.

“Kkeueung….”

As I was lying on the floor in a half-exhausted state again today, I heard a moaning sound from the side.

Hong Yeon, who was hesitating a bit after looking at me. Her frowning eyes seemed to be irritating her nerves.

“This… is a bit strange.”

“What is it?”

She was arranging her disheveled hair, and then mumbled in a small voice and glanced at me.

“…You, haven’t you done something? Don’t hide it.”

“Suddenly?”

“You cocky b*stard. I saw you clearly with the Sword Empress that night. Since then, your Demonic energy seems to have gotten better. Could it be that you two had intercourse-“

“-Please…. What the f*ck are you talking about.”

“…Um, that reaction. It wasn’t. That’s a relief. I couldn’t bear to see you torn in half in front of my Cheol Mu-san.”

“Okay.”

Hong Yeon, who was muttering cruel words with a nonchalant face, was scaring me for no reason.

Then suddenly,

-“…Look at me, Yu Jin.”

Cheon Hye-rin, who was looking at me, came to mind.

Cheon Hye-rin, who emphasized her chest with her unconsciously showing posture and appearance with her pure white nape.

When I think about it carefully… it might have been for that purpose.

But… when I think about it, I didn’t have much that was good about me.

Potential, a benefactor who saved my life.

This is something I can do because I’m young and… I’m temporarily emerging as a hero.

In fact, if an outsider sees it, isn’t he just a lucky guy like the other guys were jealous of?

It’s not like my personality or other abilities are good either…

Um.

Let’s just say my personality is good because I treated Cheon Hye-rin well.

“Training is over.”

Hong Yeon, who handed me cold water, said.

Come to think of it, this person was close to Cheon Hye-rin.

“By the way, do you have a favorite flower?”

“…Shut up. You son of a btch. Why the fck with the flowers…”

“Oh.”

A fact I had forgotten for a moment.

Hong Yeon, who glanced at me narrowly as if looking at trash, covered her large chest.

“Damn it…. You can’t respect your teacher…”

“It wasn’t intentional.”

“You’re so full of bullsh*t.”

“If you had approached Sword Empress like this, you would have been split in two already.”

That’s true.

Hong Yeon, who sighed deeply, glared at me.

“Well… aside from that, it’s okay. You’ve endured the training wonderfully. I mean it.”

I’ve been training my body little by little.

“It seems like it’s time for you to experience it soon. Real combat.”

The smile disappeared from Hong Yeon’s face.

“Because the righteous faction guys have raided us by surprise.”
