Chapter 191 – King Yan’s Disciple 2 (18)
That evening, Master Zhuge Se returned to Wuhan Manor carrying the body of the white Lizardman.
Other than the color of the scales being white, there didn’t seem to be much difference from the green lizardman, but this guy withstood the master’s spirit power while he was alive, right?
I was also curious, but I didn’t think using my knowledge would be of much help to the midfielder.
“Thank you, Mr. Yeomwang. I will do my best to achieve meaningful results.”
Zhuge Xuanyu took the command of Master and bowed her head.
The smart people of Zhuge Dynasty should figure it out and solve it in a Jungwon style.
If it goes completely wrong, I’ll just have to give directions for research in passing.
“Okay. Don’t steal the scales and take care of them yourself. And disciple.”
“Yes, Master.”
“We will move early tomorrow morning. We have prepared food to survive, so all you have to do is prepare your body.”
“There is nothing special to take care of. I understand.”
*
I started in the morning with Master and visited a small mountain near Wuhan.
It was a small, nameless mountain compared to Hwangsan Mountain, where I originally practiced, but there was a cave suitable for my training and a roughly-made hut in front of it.
“Did Master make it by any chance?”
“I ordered it from Zhuge Dynasty’s military man. Those guys called Geomsu are good at cutting down trees.”
Somehow it still felt like raw wood.
Anyway, unlike my last house, I was satisfied with just having two beds.
As for food, it looks like we will have to use the same Byeokgokdan as our staple food than last time, and even the water jars were the same.
“Now you have reached the 6th level of the Lotus Flame Demonic Art. Right?”
“Yes, that’s right, Master.”
“You can use both the flame ring and the blue ring. You are in a state where you can create multiple flame rings in your body. Right?”
“I tried it. I even tried two.”
“Palunbo (破輪步) and Yeomnae (炎靄). Once you learn those two things, you will be able to naturally reach the 7th star.”
“Then what do the 7 stars learn?”
“There is no harm in knowing in advance. Shouldn’t you also learn the five principles of the Yeonyeomshingung soon?”
“Oui! Are you learning that kind of thing now?”
Special move! Among the skills I am currently using, the strongest one is Shadow Lance mixed with Flame Wheel.
However, it was a technique that required preparation time, and it was easy to infer the trajectory of the attack.
Wouldn’t the five powers of the Yeonyeom Shingung be able to fill that part?
“We need to further refine the foundation for using the five wills. If we build it up slowly like that, we will reach the five wills.”
“I understand! Master!”
“It would be better to practice internal energy first. Come into the cave.”
Master went into the cave and I followed him as usual.
And I tasted hell.
*
“Huh…”
It occurred to me that if the teacher had not taken away the heat, his entire body would have burned to death.
“Is it hard to get used to it because it’s your first time?”
“Master, how do you absorb that heat?!”
It was on a different level from the practice of accepting heat so far.
Should I say that it ultimately became about 4 times stronger?
The temperature of the heat emitted by Master gradually increased, and at some point it reached a level where it was impossible to breathe.
Before the heat was absorbed and released into the chlorine field, the heat was so strong that the body started to reject it from the time it was absorbed.
“I think it was raised quite slowly?”
“It may not be Master’s level of strength, but even if the temperature just stopped, I would have almost died.”
“Then shall we take it slow?”
Master said with a grin.
I walked toward the outside of the cave, shaking off the salt from my body.
“Master, I will drink some water and come back.”
“Okay. I’ll be waiting.”
The moment I came out of the cave, I felt like it was the middle of winter.
Normally, it would have been just warm weather, but coming out of a place that was so hot, my body reacted strangely.
I shook my arms, picked up the water jar in the cabin, and took a gulp of water.
It tasted a little salty due to the little bit of salt sprinkled on it, but I thought I might need to eat more salt.
I filled my stomach with water and tried to go back into the cave, but my feet wouldn’t fall.
I haven’t even started training yet, but I wonder if it’s right to hold on to this training to get to Giru.
“Master said it took several years…”
There is a reason why the world has become strange, but I still thought it was too much.
While continuing to think such negative thoughts, I walked towards the cave.
‘You have to endure to grow.’
I promised myself that I would go back once I finished the quest to make the assimilation rate 100%, but it was still at 96%.
I think Infinite Giru can make up for the remaining 4%, but is it a contest to see whether the remaining 4% assimilation rate goes up first or whether I reach 7-star Flame Magic first?
“Disciple. Get ready.”
“Yes, Master.”
We are at the center of the community again.
“Whoa…”
I prepared to use the Yeonyeom Shingong to expel the air in my lungs and accept the heat scattered by the master.
“I hope I can absorb it properly this time.”
“I will try.”
The cavity began to fill with heat.
The heat that built up in the beginning allowed me to have more stamina than my limit, and I fired a fireball straight at the wall.
The heat that the body could not receive continued to be released through Jangbeop, and Yeonyeomshingong was used to withstand and absorb the heat.
Release, release, release.
I was constantly stretching out my palms to release it, but the heat was getting hotter and thicker, and I started to feel suffocated again.
Even if more heat was released at once through the chlorination field, more was accumulated at some point.
The moment I felt like I was going to lose my mind, I received the heat from Master again.
“Fuuuuu…”
I placed my hand on my thigh and caught my breath.
“Kkkk. You idiot. It won’t work in a chlorination plant, right?”
“Master. I don’t know if I had six arms, but this wouldn’t work.”
In the middle, I switched to a flame-throwing attack, but it was still not enough.
Then the teacher said with a smile on his face.
“I remember when you first learned the Yeon Flame God Art. Back then, you couldn’t even use the Yeon Flame Field, so you ran around in the cave to relieve the heat building up in your body to gain strength.”
“Why is that story suddenly…? No…”
“Disciple, do you now understand why the area where you practiced last time is wider?
Certainly, the cavity we are in now is wider than the cavity we practiced in last time.
Okay. Training before reaching 6 stars cannot be the same as training after reaching 6 stars.
“Master, please ask me one more time.”
“I’m coming. I hope I don’t have to cut off halfway this time.”
The initial heat was withstood by using a chlorination field.
And when the heat grew to the point where I couldn’t stand it, I used a wave wheel to move it.
Poop!
Although I hit the cave wall, I was able to breathe a little because I released a lot of heat and moved.
And for just a moment, the scorching heat moved silently to engulf me.
Wave wheel.
Poop!
I hit the cave wall again, but was still able to avoid being swallowed by the heat.
But hitting this thing hurts quite a bit, right?
The teacher gave me enough hints on the grinding wheel, so are you telling me to learn it on my own?
They told me to be able to form two flame rings within my body, so maybe I can use that.
First, I have to run away again.
Wave wheel.
And once again, the wave wheel was used to prevent it from hitting the wall.
I turned and ran, but within a short while I reached the cave wall again.
I used Paryun again and again.
The heat in the cave continued to get stronger, but as the heat I gave off all at once increased and I moved to another location, I felt like it was worth holding on to for a bit.
It absorbs heat using Yeonyeomshingong and releases it at once using Palyun.
Then, right before hitting the wall of the cave, use Palyun again.
It felt like I was engraving Falunbo on my body in a truly ignorant way.
***
King Yeom was quite surprised by his disciple’s movements.
When I gave a hint, my student only hit the wall twice, and after that, he kept running, using the wave wheel to change direction just before he hit the wall.
Although I haven’t been able to reach the principle of wave wheel movement, which involves building a fire wheel in the body as a spare and using the wave wheel when a change of direction is necessary, I thought that was also suitable for training.
The disciple’s speed of creating salt wheels was so fast that it felt similar to accumulating and using them, and he became interested because he seemed to be taking a different path than himself.
However, in order to learn wave ring resonance, it was necessary to accumulate salt rings within the body.
It would have been good to point out that part right now, but I was curious about how long the disciple could endure with just one flame wheel.
‘Okay. Because I once again gave up on ascending to see this.’
A smile appeared on King Yan’s lips.
And as my mood improved, the heat radiated through the flame resonance became stronger.
“Aaaaah! Master! It’s so hot!”
The disciple screamed, but he thought it was a terrible death.
“It’s okay. Should I kill you?”
The disciple almost died that day.
***
I was sitting in the cool forest, rubbing my head, which had a large bump that still felt very painful.
“I guess I went a little too far.”
Master spoke with a rare feeling of regret.
“Master. I did that because I really felt like I was going to die.”
“I guess I increased my firepower too much without even realizing it because I was using Parun much better than I expected. Honestly, I thought you were faking it and saying it was difficult.”
I received praise for using the parryun well, but what happened is that my training intensity increased because of it.
As the heat suddenly became stronger, the quality of heat my body received improved greatly.
I was aware of it, but I used the wave wheel without much thought, and it showed more force than I expected and ended up flying into the cave wall.
Was this what the wave wheel that Master used when flying in the sky felt like?
“What about the yang accumulated in your body? Can you handle it?”
“I didn’t even finish my training properly today, but I didn’t know I would accumulate so much.”
“It can be said that the level between 6th and 8th stars is the most difficult to learn the Yeonyeom Shingung. However, looking at what you are doing today, I can see that you can at least reach 7th star faster than me.”
However, the teacher said that it took 5 years to reach from the 7th to the 8th star.
It became scary to imagine what the 7-star training would actually be like.
*
After three days of training, I came down to Wuhan with my teacher.
After that incident, Master adjusted my firepower more clearly and created an extreme situation that I could endure.
Thanks to the perfect control of heat, I could feel my body growing, but a problem arose.
“Whoop…”
There is too much yang accumulated in the body.
I decided to relieve my yang energy as a woman if possible, but it can be said that that decision built up to the point where it was about to be broken.
All the courtesans who deal with me today are dead.
