Academy’s Curse Champion 73

Chapter 73 – 71. Hassan [Part 1 Complete]

Once you’ve gained proficiency, the next thing to learn is obvious.

This is how to use inner energy.

“In the martial arts world, swords, spears, and bows were the main weapons.”

Naturally, the method of using energy was different depending on what weapon was used, so Muyeon decided to start by finding a weapon suitable for Arthur.

“First, palaces and spears are excluded. In the case of archery, it is impossible to shoot with one arm. There is nothing that cannot be used with a spear, but with a one-armed spear, you cannot use the Lanna Chal, which is the basis of spearmanship, so it is no different from swinging with an ordinary stick.”

Among swords, spears, and palaces, there are two things that Muyeon excluded.

Then, all that was left were swords.

“Yes. I think it would be better for you to teach the Tao.”

The decision was quick.

Why did Muyeon choose the sword rather than the sword?

It was simple. In the case of the sword, the balance between attack and defense is good, and it is a good weapon to use with any technique, but it was not suitable for Arthur.

Although the sense of distance due to vision was later able to be overcome to some extent by using ki, the weakness of having only one hand made it difficult to establish even an ordinary attack and defense.

This was the same as Arthur saying that he should avoid the combat method of directly clashing weapons and should focus only on evasion and attack, so he chose a way where that was possible.

“Just take a look first.”

Seeing is worth seeing.

This is the education method established by Muyeon.

This is because he was convinced that it was better to show Arthur in person rather than tell him.

An ordinary person would get nothing from watching it, but I know that Arthur’s talent is not ordinary. He wields the sword believing in his talent.

‘It’s a talent that allows you to master the Armillary Sphere in half a day.’

Honcheon Shingong (混天神功).

The way of thinking created by Mu-yeon was different from previous criminals.

Since the law of mind is essentially the basis for containing ‘concepts’, it cannot contain anything outside the concept. Just as a magician cannot create a good spirit.

But the Armillary sphere was different. Unlike other mental techniques, no concepts were included in internal energy. Just break it into as small pieces as possible and create the purest energy.

At this time, pure energy has a different meaning from the pure inner energy of Taoist mind techniques. The ‘purity’ meant here means innocence that can change into anything.

It is a mental technique that goes beyond imitating and builds the ability to capture any concept. That was the Armillary Sphere technique, and Arthur proved his talent without even knowing it by learning the Horncheon Mind technique, which was extremely difficult to master, to the extent that Muyeon gave up on making disciples.

Seokgeuk-

The smokeless sword that was uncovered continued to split the air.

It was so fast that he almost missed it, but Arthur barely caught it.

“What I just did is an ordinary sword method that does not use internal energy. And from now on, what I will show you is a method using internal energy, and it is the path you will take in the future.”

The smokeless sword that Arthur was holding with his left hand began to change.
Unlike the existing shape, the length has been increased, and the straight appearance has disappeared here and there and is slightly curved. In other words, it became the Tao.

“Huh.?”

Arthur blinked at the unbelievable phenomenon. The fact that his sword contains the power of a black dragon and has the ability to change a thousand times was not important to the current situation, so he swung it without any explanation.

The fast-moving Tao began to gradually accelerate as time passed.

The meaning contained in each sword also became more difficult to read as time passed.

“Wow…”

An exclamation naturally came out of Arthur’s mouth.

During Mu-yeon’s plum sword technique, plum blossom petals appeared at some point and blocked his vision.

“Yeommae (炎梅).”

For a moment, Arthur mistakenly thought that Muyeon was dancing with flowers. The ever-changing Geomro stopped facing in front of her.
At the same time, Mu-yeon performed the Plum Blossom Sword Technique, and the petals of the plum blossoms, symbolized by energy, caught fire one by one and burned up.

Could it be because it was inside a cold ice cave? The heat created by using the flower petals as fuel began to melt the ice little by little, and water fell from the ceiling, drop by drop, making a sound.

“Sword techniques using the sword are excellent for pleasure and fantasy. So, originally, you should learn the mental techniques related to this, but the mental techniques you learned are different.”

Mu-yeon held the sword with both hands and assumed the upper-class posture.

At the same time, Arthur felt her whole body becoming heavy, as if she was sinking into an abyss.

She was overcome by momentum.

“Because you can change the nature as you wish, you can put anything into the sword. “Like now.”

The secret of a heavy sword.

The sword containing destructive power was lowered towards the ground.

Tuk.

The tip of the sword quietly dug into the ground.

Due to the impact, the cracks on the left and right continued to widen and climbed up to the wall.

Tooung! Tooung! Tooung!

The crack that went up to the ceiling was enough to drop the icicles created by the heat that had just formed. The icicles fell with a loud sound and fell in a shape surrounding Muyeon and Arthur.

Maybe it was because I saw countless icicles, big and small, the size of people. Arthur felt strange, as if he was surrounded by people, but for now, he listened to Muyeon’s words

“Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal cuts are called the basics of a sword. This also exists in Moorim under the name of Samjae Geombeop. Even though it is a third-rate martial arts skill that even backstreet thugs know about. What’s interesting is the name. This is because the name contains what the creator of the martial art wanted to convey.”

Seokgeuk-

With a flawless horizontal cut, a large icicle in front of Muyeon was cut off.

“The name of this cutting is Hengsocheongun (橫掃千軍), and in reality, it is no different from an ordinary horizontal cutting. But it contains the meaning of cutting down an army of heaven with a single horizontal cut.”

Mu-yeon, who had taken the stance of baldo, used his internal energy again, and the energy of defeat began to converge.

Even though he was in the same posture, Arthur’s body went into alarm at the different momentum from when he first saw him, and even though he knew that the tip of his sword was not pointed at him, his entire body’s nerves were on edge.

“Of course, like all third-rate martial arts. It is a martial art with a meaning that can never be achieved, but only Armillary sphere magic can make it possible.”

“!!”

As soon as Muyeon finished speaking, Arthur felt the operation of a large force.

Samjaegeombeop (Three Hands) – Hoengsocheongun (橫掃千軍)

The sword, which moved at incredible speed, cut off all the icicles in front of it.

The icicles, which were neatly separated from top to bottom, fell down with a loud noise.

Arthur, who witnessed a strength he had never imagined, thought that the icicle might be weak, so he filled his mana and struck it with his fist.

“Ahh!”

Arthur, who was shocked by the unmoving icicle, let out a groan in pain.

‘It’s a place full of cold, so it’s not usually solid.!’

Arthur, who was beginning to feel how amazing Muyeon was, looked at Muyeon with bright eyes.

However, Muyeon, with an expression as if this was nothing, took a stance again,

“And if you reach the extreme level of Armillary Sphere, this is also possible.”

“Uh, huh.?”

Before I knew it, the Tao of Muyeon had already been drawn.

Arthur was so fast that he didn’t even notice that he was swinging, but when he saw the sword drawn, Arthur instinctively wrapped his entire body in mana.

Ukui-Samjaegeombeop (三才劍法) – Horizontal destruction army (橫掃滅軍)

As if a bullet passes by and a sound is heard. Arthur belatedly felt the storm of energy.

When he opened his eyes again, all the icicles in front of him had been cut. Even the icicles that were placed all the way to the entrance, out of sight.

“Simple herbivore can also produce very good results if used with appropriate techniques like this.”

On this day.

Arthur saw the god of war.

* * *

About two years have passed.

For some, it was a long time.

Objectively, it was not enough time to become stronger.

However, Arthur’s talent was so great that it distorted the density of time, so now they only look the same.

To when I first climbed Compared the snowy mountain, there was a difference as big as heaven and earth.

A hill at the edge of a snowy mountain.

In the center of it all, a jet-black sword was stuck in its sheath. In front of him was a man dressed in black, sitting cross-legged and meditating.

As time has passed, my hair has gotten longer, so maybe it’s because I tied it back. At first glance, it looked similar to Muyeon’s, but judging from the fact that his right hand was missing, he was actually Arthur.
After finishing meditation, Arthur opened his eyes and looked around, spreading his energy like a habit. However, he could not hide his disappointment because he could not see Muyeon.

In fact, it has been about a year since Muyeon disappeared.

I expected it to some extent.

They say there is nothing to teach even before it disappears. This is because I have often said that I have to move forward on my own.

Then it disappeared, leaving only the sword on the hill. As if his role was no longer needed.

Therefore, Arthur also feels only a little bit of regret. He didn’t have any regrets.
Because meeting also exists because there is separation.

I just feel grateful for the last gift left by my teacher.

Arthur stood up and grabbed the handle of the sword in front of him.

“Now I have to see the end.”

The reason why he is finally pulling out his sword even though a year has passed since his teacher disappeared.

It was to complete preparations to tackle the hill in front of you.

It’s not exactly a hill, but a dragon heart.

“Whoa.”

After pulling out the sword, Arthur sat on it again, cross-legged, closed his eyes, and used Armillary Sphere.

A bitter cold flowed out from the crack that formed in the dragon heart, and Arthur began to swallow all the cold with all his might.

‘It must be hard to absorb everything.’

Arthur was able to absorb energy by splitting it into small pieces and removing the cold properties, but he quickly reached his limit. Although a large amount of the mana in the Dragon Heart was lost over a long period of time, it was like an endless river, so the amount of wasted energy began to increase little by little.

And fortunately, I had learned the countermeasure against this from my teacher.

‘No, we have to make it possible.’

-The dark sea never changes no matter what water it is mixed with. Therefore, the sea is just a sea.

Arthur, recalling what he had heard from his teacher, smiled slightly and used the Armillary Sphere and other Neigong Shik techniques at the same time. It was originally almost impossible, but Arthur made it possible.

Northern Myeong Shinkong (Northern Myeong Shinkong)

The chilly energy is absorbed into Arthur’s inner energy that was originally in the Danjeon.

Even with the constant cold that was injected into me, my inner energy did not lose its purity. No, rather, he began to eat up the chill like a hungry wolf.

Because cold river water was just a delicacy to the huge ocean.

Power rapidly increases in real time.

At the same time, Arthur saw an opportunity to rise in status.

It was quick to reach the level of transcendence, but it was an opportunity to reach the level called Hwagyeong, which I had never been able to reach.

Memories of the past pass by like the wind.

-Master. I can feel the walls. I really don’t know how to reach the flower world. They said that enlightenment is enough, but why am I still…

-It’s a matter of the heart. Even though I know the sun will rise tomorrow, I don’t know why I’m so impatient.

After this, Arthur did not bring up the issue of realm, and neither did his teacher.

I didn’t understand it exactly at the time, but now I understand it all.

Matters of the heart.

To be exact, an imbalance in the heart and body.

It was probably natural that advancement in status would be impossible until this was resolved.

Even in his own opinion, his condition was extreme.

A spirit that surpasses fireworks that surprised even the teacher.

On the other hand, he is unable to utilize his abilities at all.
Finally, a mirror-like core just before being shattered.

-Master. My heart is so weak that it is no different from a wave in front of a candle. Of course, I practiced meditation and training to overcome this, but it didn’t get any better. Do you know why?

-That’s because it couldn’t be emptied. In order to fill a bowl, you sometimes need to know how to empty it.

Empty it out.

Although he thought he had emptied a lot of things since that day, Arthur thought that perhaps he had not emptied the most important thing.

Arthur closed his eyes and faced his inner self.
What I saw was a clean mirror.

When I got closer and looked closely, I saw a crack in the corner.

The gold never disappeared even though it was cleaned out and repaired one by one.

This meant that there was something that Arthur could not empty out, and Arthur also knew it emotionally.

‘Revenge.’

What you need to have for revenge is the emotion of anger.

Arthur has not yet emptied his anger

But ironically, it was anger that brought Arthur to this point.

‘Ah.’

And realize at the same time.

‘I was being controlled by anger.’

I realize the illusion of controlling the emotion of anger.

Even though it is not a big deal, each person feels differently. It was a big deal for Arthur.

Arthur looked at Yuri.

It was a gold that I had been wanting to get rid of for a long time, but the gold that created a new glass in the corner reflected its face just like the original glass.

‘This is also me.’

Arthur accepted his anger

And she finally emptied the remaining compulsion to fill all the dishes.
The bowl wasn’t full, but it was quite satisfying.

The dishes that seemed insufficient just moments ago now seemed very sufficient.

‘It’s the same bowl. It was a problem with my mindset.’

Upon enlightenment, a sufficient amount of internal energy led Arthur to a complete transformation.

The increase in internal energy and physical ability resolved the imbalance of the mind and body,

Arthur has reached the level of peace.

* * *

After breaking the wall and swallowing up all the remaining chill in the Dragon Heart, Arthur checked himself.

After successfully completing a complete transformation, his physical abilities increased dramatically, and his energy usage also became much more sensitive.

Of course, there was another way to confirm it most definitely.

‘Status window.’

The stats that clearly rose were noticeable.

Of course, compared to the internal energy, the minmin stat was a little lower, but this was because the internal energy was not used.

If you use your inner strength like now,

[Abilities]

Stamina-72

Dexterity-80

It goes up like this.

Of course, if you use more internal energy, your stats will increase accordingly, but it can put a strain on your body, so it is not a good method unless it is an emergency.

The next thing to look at is skill.

Since there was a lot to learn, there might have been a lot of content, but due to the nature of martial arts that embraces all concepts, all other skills were divided into lower skills and absorbed into the Armillary sphere and Armillary sphere method.

“There is no need to delay any longer.”

After deciding that all preparations were complete, Arthur thanked his teacher who was somewhere.

Arthur, wearing his black military uniform and carrying the sword left by his teacher at his waist, walked down the snowy mountain with light steps.

The cold wind from the snowy mountain continued to blow, but Arthur did not feel the slightest cold.

Just like his teacher, there were not even the slightest footprints left on the path Arthur went down.
