Chapter Index

    In fact, I never thought that I was particularly talented or a genius when it came to learning martial arts.

    This is because before I got the ticket in the first place, I had never particularly excelled in martial arts or sports, and I didn’t enjoy it very much.

    But that changed when I was able to increase my abilities thanks to the ticket and obtain various souvenirs, which allowed me to use supernatural powers.

    Just as the strength stat not only increases physical strength but also increases the body’s durability to handle the increased strength, and just as physical strength affects not only endurance but also recovery and vitality, intelligence and agility, which currently have a value of 11, are also seen as something superhuman, whether you know it or not. It was clear that it was working on me.

    So what is the conclusion…

    ‘I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Changgung Dae Yeonsingong technique was immediately registered as a souvenir during the process of beolmose washing, and that I got a feel for the heavy water technique after experiencing it with my own body.’

    Tung…

    Quaaa

    As soon as I felt a small sound through my palm, the loud noise that came from contact with Jeong Se-geuk’s fist hit my eardrums.

    It goes without saying, but no matter how much your intellect improved, you couldn’t perform the techniques you once experienced with your body as perfectly as in a cartoon.

    Push shoo!

    “Ugh… !”

    In the aftermath of the collision, the body flew backwards and at the same time, the skin on the arm with the palm outstretched cracked and blood spurted out.

    There was no way that the arm would be fine as the drugged, extreme expert blocked the blow with all his might.

    Wow~

    I was pushed back quite a bit, my feet leaving furrows in the dirt.

    “Oh… ”

    I frowned as I looked down at my arm, where exhilarating pain was surging.

    ‘I think my bones are hurt a bit.’

    Even though I recover very quickly from this injury, I probably won’t be able to use my arm for a few days.

    A grumbling spontaneously came out from within.

    However, that does not mean that it was a political drama.

    Puhwaaagh!

    “ Click !”

    Jeong Se-geuk’s right arm, with which he threw his fist, momentarily swelled significantly and then shrunk. It looked as if an explosion had occurred inside the arm.

    The old man at the tea shop asked me with a shocked face.

    “This can’t be right… ! What on earth did you just do?”

    “Hmm… I tried following the method the old man used on my back.”

    “What… ?”

    The old man looked as if he was puzzled by my calm answer.

    “I guess it works if you just do it like this?”

    “Huh… What an amazing guy… If you have a good understanding of martial arts, this is not the case… ”

    “Hmm… ”

    To be honest, it was more about the know-how of using this ability than the understanding of nothingness.

    Unlike internal energy, which has different ranges of use depending on the level, this ability has been used both inside and outside the body from the beginning.

    When I used the energy of my supernatural ability along with my internal energy, I was able to imitate the old man’s technique, although it was clumsy.

    It seemed like it would probably take more time to use the same technique using only internal energy.

    ‘Is that an understanding of nothingness? Well, it seems like they are more powerful when used together… ‘

    I looked at Jeong Se-geuk, who was holding his limp right arm with his left arm.

    Aside from his right arm, which had just been shredded from the inside, his left arm, which had been ambushed by the old man earlier, also appeared to be quite uncomfortable in movement.

    Not to mention my tiny right toe.

    Of all the limbs, the only one that is intact is the left leg.

    ‘It’s a perfect punching bag.’

    A top-of-the-line performance sandbag with self-defense functions.

    Jjiik ㅡ

    With his left arm, he tore off his almost rag-like uniform and wrapped it around his right arm. Thanks to his unique recovery ability, even with this poor first aid treatment, the open wound healed quickly.

    And while trying not to forget the sense of competition that had just been exchanged, he spoke to the old man.

    “I think I’ve gotten the hang of it, but could you please give me some advice?”

    “… … .”

    The old man seemed to think for a moment and then answered.

    “What is your name?”

    “This is Namgoong Minho.”

    “Are you a direct descendant of Sega?”

    “No. He was just an orphan, but he became his son-in-law.”

    “… If you’re not a direct descendant, there won’t be any backlash from your family. good night. While you stop that guy, I’ll let you know by phone.”

    “Well thought out.”

    “However, there is a condition.”

    The old man urged me with firm eyes.

    “ This old man had already paid off all his past financial aid and was running a tea shop here. You should be careful not to let your blessings affect me by spreading the word that you learned something from me somewhere else.”

    It meant that he didn’t want to get involved with Moorim again just because he gave me advice for no reason.

    No matter what kind of person he may have been in the past, it is clear that he is now much weaker than he was then. It could be dangerous if someone with a grudge against me tried to harm him.

    I answered while shrugging my shoulders.

    “Just say I taught myself, well.”

    “Eng… Anyway, he is not humble.”

    “Then, thank you very much.”

    With those words, he rushed back to Jeong Se-geuk, who had almost recovered himself.

    bang!

    Jeong Se-geuk saw me coming in front of him in an instant and raised his relatively intact left arm.

    I avoided his hand and gave him a kick.

    Oh my! bang!

    “Keuheuk… !”

    However, this time, perhaps because he used a technique with unfamiliar legs, the explosion was blocked by a self-defense device.

    Then I heard the old man’s voice ringing in my ear.

    -Everything in the world has energy. Not only people, the earth, and the sky, but also small objects and even the straw shoes and cloth sold by local women at the market.

    Quang!

    Dedeudeudeuk!

    “Keuuu… Die!!!”

    “Huh… !”

    Jeong Se-geuk was compensating for the discomfort caused by his injury by pouring out magical energy.

    He too was struggling desperately, knowing that if he lost his momentum here, there would be no way back.

    ‘You can just wait for him to relax on his own… ‘

    There is nothing to be gained from doing so and it is not refreshing at all.

    And since he was a demon, if he was given time and watched, he could use bizarre techniques like the demon group.

    Bub bub bub!

    Quack!

    The black magic energy and the blue energy of the Namgung family collide violently.

    The calm voice of an old man seeped through them.

    -The important thing is to penetrate your inner energy into the other person through the path through which the energy flows.

    ‘Could you please speak a little more simply?’

    The old man must have noticed that I was grumbling, and added.

    -ha… If you hit the side of a jar full of water, the heavy jar will stay in place, but the water inside will shake. At first, it will be easier to target areas with strong defenses.

    If you think about it, the strike just now was successful using the fist, which was probably the most trained part of the attack.

    ‘Whoa…’ good.’

    I deliberately did not avoid the attack of Jeong Se-geuk’s left arm.

    Instead, like before, I gathered all my energy and abilities in my left palm and countered.

    Tung…

    Kwaaaang!!

    “Kuh… ! done… !”

    I cheered. The shock was much less than when I first used the technique, and I felt confident that I had done it correctly.

    Likewise, he rushed at Jeong Se-geuk, who was thrown back slightly, and beat him all over before he came to his senses.

    Puddudduk~

    Too doo doo doo

    “Quaaa… !”

    Jeong Se-geuk’s face was seen to become increasingly pale as he screamed.

    Every part of my body that my palms touched was bursting from the inside… Just by not dying of shock right away, I could see how toxic he was.

    It took a moment to chop Jeong Se-geuk’s whole body into small pieces like hitting a punching bag.

    The strength of the Danjeon that I poured out with excitement was already showing its bottom.

    Jeong Se-geuk, who had amplified his energy with medicine, is also in a situation where his self-defense skills are unstable.

    ‘I’ll have to finish it soon.’

    In order to deliver the finishing blow, I accumulated some of my inner power and special abilities in my left hand.

    “Hey.”

    “… … ?”

    Jeong Se-geuk, who seemed to have no sign of speaking, lifted his head helplessly.

    The initial rugged impression had disappeared, and only a bloody piece of meat remained.

    “You said it was Suramunju, right? I’ll remember it well and if I have to go to Cheonsan in the future, I’ll clean up the rest so you don’t feel lonely. Go first and wait.”

    “… … !”

    Jeong Se-geuk’s eyes widened when he heard me say that one day I would destroy Sura Gate.

    As expected, the martial people responded well to insults about clans or martial arts.

    Jeong Se-geuk tried to open his mouth to say something, but my left hand was already touching his chest.

    Tungㅡ

    Fuuu!!!

    “… … .”

    As an explosion several times larger than before occurred inside, Jeong Se-geuk’s chest and shoulders disappeared right before his eyes.

    Tuk.

    Degururu…

    The head fell off the body and rolled around on the floor.

    I picked it up and approached the old man who was watching.

    The old man’s eyes were wide open, as if he was impressed by Jeong Se-geuk’s body exploding.

    “It would not be possible to use such a technique using the deuterium method alone… ”

    “Can I tell you?”

    The old man glanced at me at my words filled with laughter.

    “Tsk, making fun of old people is not good, you bastard! Don’t try to drag this old man back for no reason!”

    “Kkkk… all right. Thank you for the advice.”

    Saying that I would tell you was a joke because of my special ability, but thanking me was sincere. Because the old man was teaching me a technique that could be considered his own know-how.

    “… Now that’s done, go see your companions. I have to reassure the residents.”

    “Resident? ah… ”

    I looked around at the old man’s words.

    Then, I saw people looking at this place from the windows of houses where the lights were off.

    ‘Well, it was a little noisy in the middle of the village.’

    I gave them a thumbs up and spoke to the old man.

    “Then I will go back first.”

    “Are you coming?”

    The group had already finished clearing out the demons remaining inside Yeonhwagak and were waiting.

    I spoke to those people who were gathered together and looking at me.

    “I went and came back.”

    Then he lifted Jeong Se-geuk’s head so that everyone inside Yeonhwagak could see it.

    “… … .”

    After being silent for a moment, the group cheered loudly, echoing not only in Yeonhwagak but also throughout the village.

    Wow!

    He held Jeong Se-geuk’s head in his hand and approached Namgung Hwaran.

    It seemed like the remaining personnel had protected her well, and she didn’t have a single piece of wood or dust on her.

    Namgung Hwaran was looking at me with a happy expression knowing that I had won.

    But soon, his expression hardened, perhaps because he noticed my torn clothes and the scars on my arms.

    “It’s okay while waiting… ”

    “They said it wouldn’t hurt!”

    Snap!

    “Oh, it stings!”

    “Does it sting? Does my palm sting after hitting that monster with my fist?”

    “No, that’s… Because I was trying to gain enlightenment… ”

    Whether I twisted my body to avoid it or not, Namgung Hwaran slapped my forearms and back with his cool yet hot, contradictory palms.

    “Then what’s the use if you die! Later, I will become very enlightened and jump off the cliff!”

    “That’s just regular training… ”

    “… … ?”

    At that time, I was listening to Namgung Hwaran’s nagging.

    Rustling.

    “What is all this about… ?”

    Gwa Cheol-ho, who had collapsed in a corner of Yeonhwagak, finally came to his senses and woke up.

    He looked bewildered, as if he couldn’t believe that the whole situation was over while he was unconscious.

    “Uh, are you awake?”

    Seizing the opportunity, I broke away from Namgung Hwaran and approached him, waving my hand. And then he threw the head of Jeong Se-geuk that was in his hand at him.

    “Now, gift.”

    Tuk.

    “… … ?”

    Gwa Cheol-ho, who unconsciously caught the flying head with both hands in a dazed state, lowered his head to take a closer look at the object he had received, and was soon frightened.

    “Heui profit!!! What are you doing! What on earth is that!”

    I explained while holding Jeong Se-geuk’s head as he threw it back.

    “This is the political drama that tore your colleague to death. Now, look straight ahead.”

    “… … .”

    Gwa Cheol-ho crouched down and looked around at my words. Is it because it hasn’t been long since I became conscious? It seemed quite unstable.

    The group standing around was watching us without reacting in particular.

    I held Jeong Se-geuk’s head and held it out so that he could look straight ahead.

    “Here, there was a shock inside, so it was a little crushed… You might be able to recognize it.”

    “… … Growling.”

    However, perhaps having the enemy’s head in front of him had the opposite effect, and Gwa Cheol-ho fainted with foam at the mouth.

    “… … .”

    “Well, for a member of the Murim League, you have very weak nerves.”

    I smiled awkwardly when I saw Namgung Hwaran’s reprimanding eyes.
