XLVI.

master.

Becoming a master is not just about being able to use the destructive energy called ‘strong energy’. If that were the case, engineers or wizards who create artifacts would have been treated better than knights.

Among artifacts, if you have a certain amount of divine power, you can have destruction magic just by reciting the starter word.

Master is basically the first gateway through which the body changes.

Unlike a wizard’s body that changes drastically as he or she reaches Circle 8, the body of warriors who use the Force, the heaviest and most destructive of the four divine powers, changes as they reach master level.

Although it is not at the level of bone transformation, a similar effect occurs.

Although it is not at the level of changing the bones or shedding the skin, the spiritual power circuit is reestablished and the body becomes stronger.

So why wasn’t there such a change when I rose to the level of a master on the pitch?

To tell the truth, there was.

That was also the reason I was bruised for a little while at the time.

However, like the masters common on this continent, the divine power circuit has not changed to the level of ‘remodeling’.

Unlike others, my spiritual power circuit contained all four major divine powers, and it was also a path pioneered and established by the martial artist 『Byeokhae (霹海)』 recognized by God.

Moreover, I took the spiritual tablets that God gave me as compensation twice. A special idea that increases the durability and elasticity of the strength core.

Lastly, candidates should not forget that their appearance becomes more attractive as they become candidates. Is this a sudden lookism remark?

No, it’s not like that.

Attractive. beautiful. stylish.

If we interpret these words from the perspective of martial arts, they contain the meaning that the body is balanced.

In other words, the reason why a candidate has changed beautifully as he or she becomes a candidate should not be focused on the appearance, but rather on the fact that the muscles have changed.

Due to this effect, when a candidate becomes a Master, the degree to which his or her body changes is less than that of an ordinary person. However, due to the conditions mentioned above, there was little apparent change even after reaching master level.

Nevertheless, even for a person who received all these fraudulent benefits, just one day after reaching the level of master was not enough time to completely achieve the level.

It may be obvious, but I couldn’t spend time on useless things like appearing at the Evergreen Festival, which Dean Hu wanted.

After entering the personal training center, I concentrated on checking the spiritual power circuit without touching the spear at all.

After taking the spiritual tablets that I received while becoming a master, I felt my spiritual power core pulsating like a heart differently than before, and I concentrated on each and every one of my spiritual power circuits, which were stronger and wider than before.

The four divine power cores became closer than before. Now, the parts that border each other are touching.

In the divine power core, each divine power moves and swirls the divine power circuit. In some places this is called spiritual power circulation, in others it is called meditation.

In 『Byeohae (霹海)』, this was named ‘Zhou Cheongong (周天功)’.

And the main perforation that was taking place in my body now was not a gentle flow to restore physical condition, but a strong flow to test the limits of the meridians.

In that flow, the four major divine powers are running together in the divine power circuit, going ahead or behind each other as if they were originally one.

As if the divine power that was running like a sprint enters the divine power core as if it knew its original home, a ‘humming’ sound that only I can hear is heard from the four divine power cores.

“Phew… … .”

When I opened my eyes after checking all the spiritual power circuits in my body, I saw the clown and the witch looking at me with proud eyes, looking the same as before.

“You worked hard. Baby.”

“Thank you for your hard work. Master.”

As I was greeted by the two women, I realized that I had finally reached the ‘real’ master intermediate level.

The use of divine power realized through the topic left behind by the god of struggle, the development of a new martial arts skill in 『Byeokhae』, and the sudden rise to the level of a master.

The drug-like high I felt from these things, combined with the fact that I didn’t get enough rest, made me think I had reached the intermediate master level.

I realized that I was mistaken when I faced off against an academy student named Gawin for the second time, after Benjamin, who had been eliminated during the candidate competency evaluation.

In the process of creating spear energy with spirit and striking Gawin, much more spiritual power than I wanted flowed into the spear.

It’s like a funny video where you turn on a lighter and the firepower is so unexpectedly strong that it burns your bangs.

I almost pierced the head of a guy named Garwin neatly and cleanly. No, if it had been Force, not the free and light Spirit, it would have definitely broken through.

I didn’t show it at the time, but I was so surprised.

This was precisely the reason why I declined Dean Hu’s request to attend the festival by secretly launching me.

Now that I have inspected and perfected both my divine power core and my divine power circuit, I can say that I have definitely reached the intermediate level of master. And the reward is just around the corner.

Pachichik—!

A thunderstorm flows.

Not a spear, but an entire arm where the fingers were put together and the blade was made by hand.

“The body becomes a weapon.”

“Yes. The body is like a weapon, and the Force is expressed through the body. This can be said to be the most basic essence of becoming a ‘master’. You are great. Master.”

It was such an amazing feeling that even when the witch congratulated him, he just smiled in gratitude. And the blue thunderbolt from 『Byeokhae (霹海)』 gradually changes into pure white flame at will.

Gift.

Dean Hu called it that.

As a reward for dealing with the demons that suddenly appeared, Dean Hu, no, God gave me three additional gifts.

Among them, Dean Hu said,

“King’s Road Keeper, Sacred Fire.”

He said.

I don’t know if it really protects the king’s path, but I agree with the name sacred fire. This is because in order to handle this pure white flame, Holy Power, the most mysterious and difficult to obtain among divine powers, is needed.

Also, the reason why this fire that I feel right now does not feel hot at all is probably not because of the simple logic that it has no effect on me, the owner, simply because I created the energy.

A sacred flame that burns away demons.

It is an energy that is in some ways similar to a sacred spell, as it removes not only the external aspects but also curses and insidious energies.

The pure white flame slowly changes again. From light orange, to orange, and from crimson to bright red.

This is also the effect of a gift.

「Origin of Nature」.

This is a gift that Eva de Evian possessed, and is probably an ability related to spirits.

Of course, he cannot fully control that power yet, but when he creates a spirit, if he does not follow the ‘Zhou Heaven’ of 『Byeokhae』, he shows his presence with such vivid fire.

Finally, the red flame gradually fades, and a cold, yet eerie, metallic energy settles on the blade of the hand.

This, of course, is also the effect of a gift.

「Evil Spirit Chaser」.

When Mana is channeled through the divine power circuit, the energy that arises spontaneously is an eerie and chilling experience.

Force is the strong energy of the Spear Master, mainly in 『Byeokhae』,

Holy Power is “King’s Road Keeper, Sacred Fire”.

Spirit means “Origin of Nature.”

Mana means “Evil Spirit Chaser”,

As if that was the original purpose, powers corresponding to the four divine powers and their equivalents were gradually installed.

Huh-.

Although I was unable to handle the gift with a different energy as I did with 『Byeokhae (霹海)』, I recognize that it is not that it cannot be done, but that it cannot be done.

“Good.”

It’s nice to have homework.

There are milestones for further progress, so I am happy and happy about that.

“Awesome! Our baby!”

“Of course. Because you are the master.”

It was a night where the two women made a fuss and reached their peak.

And it’s exactly one week since the candidate competency evaluation ended.

Evergreen Academy’s festival Evergreen Festival has begun.
