Chapter 253 – Modern Day (2)

[Conversion New Art v0.1.3 Magical Breathing Instruction begins.]

Noh Hyung-gil blinked his eyes.

“Yes···?”

I asked, but there was no answer. Only the unsentimental mechanical sound continued to be heard.

[I will explain the precautions before teaching the magic breathing method. The current Hakhwasingong is a version under development. Therefore, unexpected side effects may occur. Do you agree to this?]

“Wealth, side effects…?”

[Lightly, fever or itching may occur. The risk of damage to the magic circuit is high, and if it is severe, it may cause damage to internal organs…]

I listened blankly and asked without knowing.

“Eh, what if I refuse…?”

[In case of refusal, it is impossible to transfer the combined new art. Go towards that exit.]

Dig.

I hurriedly shook my head at the shining exit, as if telling me to leave.

“Oh no! I agree! All agree!”

In the first place, the magic breathing method itself was the latest technology that had just been developed. It was the same that the breathing method of large guilds had side effects. I just hoped it was at an acceptable level.

[The Salvation Guild is not responsible for accidents that occurred during the training process. Do you agree?]

“···Yes.”

[Do you agree that the points of improvement obtained during the transfer process can be used for the research of the Combined Spirit Art? In this case, monetary compensation may be paid to the transferee.]

‘I’ll even give you money…?’

I thought it was a scam for a moment. However, a building with dozens of floors gave me some unknown trust.

“···All right.”

The warnings didn’t end with one or two. Dozens of warnings followed, and after everyone agreed, the transmission began.

[The concentration of magic power in the training room increases.]

Ugh!

“Uh…?”

In an instant, the feeling of air changed.

I instinctively closed my eyes and concentrated. The energy I felt on my skin was completely different from usual.

Even a C-class hunter could feel the concentration of magic power.

Dig!

Suddenly, one side of the wall lit up and a screen came up. A human figure appeared on the screen. It was like a mannequin.

‘This···.’

My eyes widened at the oddly familiar appearance. It was simplified like a mannequin, but it was definitely his own.

He slowly raised his arm. The figure on the screen followed him. It was like he was looking in a mirror.

[Focus on the avatar presented on the screen.]

Soon the avatar became translucent and blue veins appeared. There were things like fog flowing through it.

“···What is this?”

[The blue fog represents the user’s magic power distribution. Operate your magic attribute according to the guide. First, move the magic power of Dantian to the navel area.]

“Now, wait a minute. Ok..!”

Each time he moved his magic, the avatar on the screen changed. The blue mist that filled my stomach rose little by little.

It was definitely comfortable to see the flow of mana with my own eyes. It felt smoother than usual.

“Okay..”

Time flew by. For a long time, I moved my magic along the guide.

[Follow the guide to operate your magic.]

“Hey, wait a minute…!”

It went well and suddenly got blocked. He felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

Long ago. When I was just a Hunter. It was a wound from being beaten by a goblin.

“Kuh..”

I was out of breath. Even when I tried to move her mana through her meridians, I felt only a tingling pain.

She tried for a while, but it didn’t make any progress. Her magic power hardened as if it were a rock.

“Sir, how much time do you have left?”

[The remaining time is 31 minutes and 23 seconds.]

“Ouch! Burr, already?”

My heart was in a hurry. Even in a place where mana was so rich, I couldn’t succeed, so I didn’t think I would be able to go out and practice.

He gritted his teeth and moved his mana.

“Keuk…!”

How focused

He gritted his teeth at the throbbing pain. The immobilized magic began to move little by little. Ride another meridian.

‘Uh···?’

I used my magic in a slightly different way from the guide.

Whoa..!

I wanted to ache for a moment. But there was no pain. It felt like it went through easily.

When you’re embarrassed and only have your eyes wide open.

[A new route has been found.]

[Simulating…]

[Special situation (injury) limited magic attribute stability 0.0012% improvement recognized.]

[The reward of 1.2 million won has been set.]

[If you want to acquire the reward, please enter your account number.]

“What, what? Are you giving me real money?”

[If you want to acquire the reward, please enter your account number.]

I stood dumbfounded and entered my account number.

Maybe 1 minute has passed.

Jiying.

I opened my mouth wide at the deposit notification that came to my smartphone.

“Omg···! Gee, it was real!”

***

Siu, who was soaking in the silver bathtub, sat cross-legged.

“Whoa…”

He exhaled in the bubbling black liquid.

The skin all over his body was itchy. The venom seeping into the skin was slowly guided into the body.

By the time the body becomes tattered.

I drank the golden medicine from the bowl in one go. It was an elixir of the Tang Dynasty, made with sanhwangcho as the main ingredient.

The body that had been destroyed was quickly regenerated.

‘As expected…The effect is good.’

As per our vision, the effect was good. With a suitable poison, the body could be trained quickly.

I focused on recovery while feeling the muscles getting tough and hard.

‘Whoa..’

I lightly relaxed in the bathtub and leaned on my back.

‘Ah, that’s right.’

Suddenly, I wondered what the Hwa Hwan Shin Gong would have been like. I took the tablet out of my inventory and tapped it.

I was amazed while looking at the data sent from the Magic Lab.

‘It’s only been a week and already 47% efficiency increase?’

Thousands of hunters certainly went there, and the effect was quite good. It was rewarding to bring a magic training simulator from the academy district.

What I like the most is that there are no untreatable side effects.

There was an effect that focused on stability rather than magic attribute efficiency. I shook my head and stopped.

Chijijik…

I heard sparks from the tablet and the screen went black. I tried pressing the power button, but it didn’t work.

‘Under..’

I glanced at the silver bathtub.

It was filled with a bubbling black liquid, with gray smoke rising from occasional bursting bubbles.

When the poisonous smoke reached the tablet, it could not last long and was destroyed.

“Tsk..”

The tablet turned into scrap metal was thrown on the floor.

She sat cross-legged again and concentrated. Absorbed venom through the skin. The moment I tried to focus on physical training.

I sighed and looked at the wall.

Quaang!

The wall exploded with an explosion. The giant grinned, her entire body covered in steel-like muscles.

Haha! It’s been a while baby! I have to keep doing what I did last time!”

Previous. It was the Fist King who fought right before the peak. He was so proud of the subject that he broke through the wall and entered.

The sky was visible through the open hole. I couldn’t even breathe.

“···Wait.”

“Huh?”

The man who had finally looked around the room frowned. He looked at the silver bathtub and said dumbfounded.

“Her..! I’m not even a girl, but I’m taking a bath. Stop doing nonsense and get up right now!”

My ears were itching. A booming voice shook the room. One throat was a dirty big guy.

I ignored it and closed my eyes.

However, he couldn’t wait even 10 seconds. It distorted his face and inflated his whole body muscles.

“···Under! Let’s see how long you ignore it!”

Quaang!

He ran, smashing the floor.

The one who rushed in like a ferocious tiger threw out a fist like a pot lid. Condensed energy was shot like a cannon ball.

Whoa!

He let out a sigh at the intense wave siege.

“Tsk.”

The power in his fist was unusual. The building would have been destroyed if left alone.

Took.

The slowly raised palms met his fists.

Nothing happened. The venom flowing gently in the bathtub was all that changed.

It controlled all the flow of power.

“What…?”

The King of Power opened his mouth wide. The guy who had been dazed with his fists outstretched hurriedly backed away.

Chee-Ik..!

A few drops of venom were melting his skin.

“Do, poison?”

His eyes widened as if they were about to tear. It seemed that he had finally realized that the liquid in the bathtub was deadly poison.

The guy took a few steps back and muttered.

“A madman… Submerged in it?”

He spoke again to the man with his mouth wide open.

“Wait.”

Gwonwang, who looked at his melted forearm, hardened his face. Swallowing his saliva, he said.

“Ah, got it.”

I slowly closed my eyes and focused again.

The venom dripping in the bathtub seeped into her skin. The moment the deadly venom seeped into the skin and shredded the muscles.

He drank an elixir made from mountain yellow grass. He savored the aura of mountain sulfur that permeated him like the water of life.

How much time has passed

“Whoa..”

He finished his physical training with a thin breath. The stronger body wriggled on its own.

Chow!

He got up from his seat and waved his hand. Long cannons protruded from his air and wrapped around his body.

He glanced at the king of swords standing with a nervous expression on his face and said.

“Come on.”

“···Good night.”

The guy who was twitching his muscles and holding his posture let out a cheer.

Whoops!

Unlike before, the mana surged. He seemed to be doing his best.

“Ah! Die!”

Simultaneously with a scream of screaming. A fist radiated an intense glow.

I wish I had.

Took.

At the same time, he slightly deflected it with his fingertips.

Wow!

He took a step forward and threw a ball. Career permeated through the fist dug into the pit of the stomach.

“Uweek..!?”

The seated Kwon King dripped thin saliva. Unable to straighten his bent back, his entire body trembled.

The moment I lightly slapped him on the chin.

“100 million..!”

Cooong!

He collapsed to the floor with a scream. As the brain shook, even the steely muscles were meaningless.

I kicked it with my foot, but there was no movement. It seemed that he would not wake up in an hour or two.

‘Was this guy this weak?’

Seeing the fainted guy, I felt a strange feeling. How easily he defeated an opponent he was a match for not too long ago.

I looked down for about a minute and then looked away.

Whoops…!

I picked it up with a water drop and threw it away. Through the hole he made as he came in.

Kwaaang!

I heard the sound of asphalt smashing, but I turned off my nerves. He’s a strong guy, so he won’t die. Besides, because he was making a fuss, no one passed by.

I took out a new tablet.

I looked at the data from the magic lab once again. I carefully looked at the path of magic that was different from the existing combined magic.

“Oh..?”

There were quite a few paths that I hadn’t thought of. It was definitely different because the data of thousands of hunters was gathered.

Most of the route I found by chance, but it was definitely effective.

‘Hmm? This is a bit dangerous.’

Not all changes were positive. There were also some changes that jeopardized stability.

They were mercilessly beaten. Like pruning a huge tree. It was refined with a focus on stability and scalability.

‘This is enough.’

Thanks to the numerous hunters, the basics of the new craft were quickly established. Now, at least the roots felt firm.

Now you are ready to move on to the next step.

‘I should spread it on the Internet.’

When people all over the world research and develop at the same time. I was curious to see how it would develop.
