Chapter 179 – King Yan’s Disciple 2 (6)

I soaked her body in the bath water that the maid gave me.

When the water cooled slightly, I used the Yeonyeom Shingong to warm the water.

It felt strangely inefficient to wash my body with the heat I created, but nothing could compare to the feeling of my body melting warmly.

I closed my eyes and thought as I relaxed in the warm water.

The quest currently received as Yusian requires achieving a 100% assimilation rate twice.

In the case of Lee Sian, it can be achieved immediately if possessed, but for Han Sian, who was thought to have a high chance, the score is now 96%.

【3】

【Han Sian-(96%)+(EX 21%)】

【Level: 4】

【Combat power: 790+(102)】

【Holding skill: Smoke Flame Magic (6 stars)】

【Awaiting Quest (5/5)】

I’m still not sure how to make up for the remaining 4% of the assimilation rate, but this will soon go up as time goes by.

The 5 days that allow possession to return have already passed, but let’s think about completing this quest and returning.

I completely washed away any traces of love that remained on my body with warm water and wiped my body with a towel.

When we return to Yusian, shall we learn the magic circle that cleanses the body?

Washing wasn’t a bother, but I thought it would be quite helpful.

If it seems more useful than the magic circle of silence that has not yet been used, let’s change it.

It would be better if you didn’t use the healing magic circle, but I think it’s necessary.

I returned to the room and lay down on the bed.

It felt a little stiff, but it still had the effect of combat sleep, so I never lost sleep.

I need to sleep well today as well.

It was the last day of my stay in Jeokgye, but there was nothing major to do.

When I was eating with my parents and brothers in the morning, Master called me.

As I stood with Master Yeomwang in the manor, the servants gave us curious looks for a moment and then each disappeared to do their work.

“Master, wasn’t today a day off?”

“If you don’t practice internal energy, you won’t be restricted by location. You have mastered the Yeonyeom Shingung to 6 stars, and although you are growing quickly, there is something you need to be clear about. What is the Yeonyeom Shingung trying to achieve?”

“Isn’t it a cycle of power? In other martial arts, it is important to build up the internal energy accumulated while breathing, but in Yeonyeomshingung, I think the power that can be received at the moment is important.”

“Jayeongyeong, do you know the state of such a dream?”

“Yes. I understand that it is a state where you can obtain power from all things and use it.”

“The Yeomyeom Shingung aims at natural sutra, but we knew that it was impossible, so we narrowed down the target. And that is fire, which is difficult to find artificially in nature. We are pursuing natural sutra limited to fire. No, you can say that it is the Yeomyeom Shingung. .”

Although it is imperfect, I thought that the name Shingong was not a waste because it was a martial art that dreamed of natural scenery.

And since it is a martial art that actually emits and absorbs heat, it could theoretically contain infinite heat.

“Such Yeomyeom Shingong symbolizes heat based on rings and flame rings, but in fact, emission is more powerful than circulation.”

“I don’t think it’s a chlorination field that releases heat.”

I tried using it a few times, but it never hit me properly unless it was for a surprise attack.

Perhaps it was because Yeomnyun Quan became the focus of power, so it was much stronger.

“Because it is nothing more than a training martial art for the Flame Wheel, the efficiency is not that high. The most important thing is the Flame Wheel. As you can see from using the Flame Wheel, the Flame Wheel can be applied in many forms, and if you use the Flame Wheel for the release I mentioned, what should you do? Do you want to do it?”

“Are you breaking the wheel?”

“Yes. So, the walking method I will teach you from now on is the walking method of the split wheel movement. However, in order to learn the breaking wheel movement, the creation of the light ring must be free. Can you create the light ring in a place other than the fist?”

‘I can do it, but how do I do it?’

I learned it clearly by using the Shadow Lance, which is a combination of Shadow Circle and Flame Ring.

Since I usually don’t think about throwing the weapon, the basic idea is to make it near the part of the body where I want to hit it directly, but I already completed it.

When I hesitated to answer, Master said.

“Normally, you would accept that silence as something you can’t do, but it seems to me that you are thinking about how to say what you can.”

“Yes, you can.”

And, standing at attention, he created a flame wheel in the air.

When made near the fist, it was a little larger and the ring was not perfect, but it was definitely a salt ring.

“It is to break that spirit ring. That is the first condition to learn Falun Bao, so try it.”

“How do I beat this?”

“You have to figure it out.”

After saying that, the master went back to the guest room, probably thinking about taking a rest.

I was dazed as I looked at the flame ring that had formed in the air.

Until now, Yeonyeom Shingong was based on aiming to amplify power by emitting and absorbing power in the form of a ring.

But breaking the chain? It can be broken by using the negative attribute mana created through Shadow Mastery, but it was difficult to imagine that the power would be amplified by that.

After Master entered the guest room, I created a little Yin attribute mana at the tip of my finger and drew a flame circle in the air.

Then, the salt ring failed to form a ring and dispersed and disappeared.

‘First, this isn’t right.’

As I absorbed the heat again, I had no choice but to think about the breakdown.

『Quest』

〈Reach the state of Yeonyeom Shingong, Parun.〉

-Upon completion: Reinforcement of Yeonyeom Magic (6 stars)

“I don’t know.”

I tried making and breaking a flame ring in the air for about half a day, but I haven’t learned the method yet.

Is there a way to exert power other than absorbing the flame?

It is said that the teacher gained strength by breaking the Falunbodo Yeomryun, a walking method that allowed the teacher to fly in the sky.

While thinking about that, I tried to pass by Yeomryun, but there was no great result.

What is lacking? What is needed to break the salt ring?

I reduced it to size and made it around my fist to create a perfect loop.

From here, if you extend your fist and absorb the heat from the Yan Lun, it becomes the Yan Lun Fist.

“Please tell me everything and then go in.”

I went into the guest room and said something to Master Yeomwang, who was resting, even if he couldn’t hear it, and I decided to go back to my room.

Because I don’t think enlightenment will come by standing like this and continuing to make a circle.

Eating dinner with my family has been rare recently.

Perhaps because it was the last meal we ate at home, the table was fully loaded.

“If I leave this time, I won’t be able to see you until your birthday.”

My mother spoke to me in a regretful voice.

“It’s not like I won’t be able to see you forever, so there’s no need to feel so sad. Aren’t there many times when my brothers leave longer than me? And if I learn the walking method like Master Yeomwang, I can come running too.”

“At that time, I saw that the gap between the elder King Yeom and the ordinary martial people was enormous.”

The eldest brother who saw Master Yeomwang flying in the sky said.

“But you also said that if you go outside now, you can aim at Yongbong.”

Didn’t you hear what the second brother said? Isn’t Yongbong the strongest among his age group?

“Is that so? I have little experience in combat, so I was thinking of participating in a martial arts competition, but I guess I could become a dragon?”

“Yes, because Nam Gung-hyeon, who you competed with last time, was being called the next Sword Dragon.”

“Oh. Namgoonghyun was that strong. Can’t he be strong?”

He is the grandson of the Sword King and must have trained at the Namgung family for a long time.

If I had learned the walking technique, I wouldn’t have been fooled like last time, but the walking technique I started learning today had no answer.

It was harder to figure out how to use the flame ring than I thought, as it was the exact opposite of what I had used so far.

“I hope I don’t cause trouble by going to the Zhuge family.”

“It’s not a place I’ll be staying for that long anyway. Most of the time, I’ll be training and sometimes going to sleep.”

I answered my father not to worry.

That’s pretty much how my life has been since I started training with Master Yeomwang.

After finishing my meal full of worries about myself, I studied Paryun in the yard and returned to my room.

I don’t think it’s a level that can be reached in one day.

So let’s sleep well today and prepare our bodies for leaving tomorrow.

“Then I will come back.”

The luggage packed by my parents contained Byeokgokdan to eat on the way and money to spend appropriately.

If the brothers’ upward journey continues to their destination, Wuhan, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go at that time, but Master made the schedule a bit ignorantly.

“Yes, please come back. Elder King Yeom, please take care of the youngest.”

“I’m not the kind of guy you want to talk to, but as long as I’m watching, I’ll make sure nothing like that happens again. Don’t worry.”

I left home after being seen off by my family.

When I went to Hwangsan Mountain, I walked a similar path, so there was nothing special about it, but I had to go around the mountain instead of climbing it.

Master Yanwang, who was walking in front, spoke to me.

“How long do you think it will take from here to Wuhan?”

“Wouldn’t it take a long time for the house and King Namgung to walk the longer distance? At that time, I think the day and night changed five times with the carriage. Then it would take seven more days and nights.”

“Yes, if you want to go a little faster, it would be a good idea to learn the palyunbo.”

“I thought about it all day yesterday, but I still don’t quite understand it. Now that I know the principle to some extent, I think it will be helpful if Master shows me it.”

“That’s why I don’t plan on showing it. It’s nice enough to see mine and make your own, but it would be even better if you figured out how to do it from the beginning.”

“If the way I use Paryun is wrong, shouldn’t I correct it?”

“You have to do the proofreading. It will be done the way you did it.”

In order to prevent Falun’s foundation from being stolen by me, Master Yeomwang strengthened security.

Or that you can’t learn it just by seeing it? I don’t know if I can learn it while going to Wuhan.
