Chapter 449 – King Yan’s Disciple 4 (26)
When Yeonyeom Shingong (連炎神功) rose to the 9th level, he was able to use the nine rings, but the rise in his fighting power was not that dramatic.
After forming a relationship with Kaena, can I say that I have refined the power that overflows in my body to the point where I can use it?
After absorbing the heat from among the desiccated corpses of dead lizardmen and converting it into internal energy, I stepped on the wave wheel towards the place where Mr. Han was staying.
(Shahemoth is over. It’s okay to take more mana to maintain its appearance. Nothing’s wrong, right?)
(It didn’t take long, but the people at the top were busy buying and selling things, just like when I first arrived.)
(A greedy guy can appear at any time, so don’t let your guard down.)
(I understand, master.)
After finishing the conversation with Shahemos, I concentrated and ran quickly.
And not long after, we arrived in the village where Old Man Kwak’s blacksmith shop was located.
When I first came, I thought it was quite crowded, but there were still a lot of people.
There aren’t many places where you can process monster corpses to make equipment, but this place was filled with craftsmen who could do that.
Shahemos, who was sitting on a chair in front of the blacksmith shop and shaking his legs, got up and approached me.
“Good job, Seobang.”
“Okay. Let’s go to the place where the people at the top are gathered.”
While listening to the sound of iron striking in the blacksmith shop, I headed to the lodgings where the people at the top were resting.
As we went back and forth from village to village, filling and emptying the cart, the goods we had brought from Jeokgye disappeared and were now filled with new goods that we had to sell as we went.
“Brother.”
“Xian, you’re back. Are there any more monsters nearby?”
“Yes. Now that we’ve cleaned it up, this village will most likely not be attacked.”
“Okay. I got some prototypes, so I’ll have to get back to work soon.”
Armor made using the shell of an ant monster. It was not a full-body armor, but an oval-shaped shell that could protect the chest and wrists.
My brother and I were both worried about whether this was right for us as the result was simpler than expected, but when we tried it on ourselves, it turned out to be pretty good.
It was light and sturdy. And if you need stronger defense, just add a few more layers.
The standard was to use four, two on the arms and two on the chest, and with that, it was possible to have a fairly strong defense without affecting mobility.
A sword without sword energy would not cause any damage, and it would be destroyed only if the force of the Five Wheels of the Flame Wheel was applied, so this was enough to block an attack that had the power to break a head.
“Let’s receive the completed shipment by tomorrow and leave. You should also rest.”
“That would be a good idea.”
My body wasn’t that tired, but I used a lot of internal energy.
Bunyeom (噴炎) is a monster-like technique that consumes internal energy like crazy, so even if heat is absorbed with Yeonyeom Shingong, it is not recovered well.
To fill your empty energy, the best way is to absorb mana in the shadows at night, but since the sun has not set yet, the answer is to just rest well.
“Then I will eat and go back to the dorm.”
I ate at a nearby restaurant with Shahemos, then went into the lodgings and lay down on the bed, when Shahemos got on top of me and said.
“Seobang, what kind of body will you be embraced in?”
“Don’t be caught by anyone while being held in a big body. Just a small body is enough.”
“I understand.”
Then he covered me like my blanket.
I put my hand on Shahemoth’s back and patted him, then closed his eyes.

They continued their ascent without any hindrance and were on their way back to Jeokgye, but when they arrived near Anhui, something strange happened.
“Gooooo!!”
“Quaaaaa!!!”
Thump thump thump!
Two huge ogres were running towards us, screaming very loudly.
“Hey!!!”
“Oh no! Calm down!”
When the sound was loud enough to shake the floor, the horses started and tried to run away, but my brother managed to calm them down.
“Is it a giant?! Is that a monster too?”
“This is Anhui! The Namgung family! The old sword king!”
Since it was a border crossing from Hubei to Anhui, I thought it was natural that my hand would not be able to reach it, so I put strength on the hand wearing the white phosphorus flame sword.
The warriors couldn’t even think of taking out their swords, but the ogre’s size, which grew bigger as it approached, definitely made people feel intimidated.
‘Besides, it seems to be bigger than a regular ogre.’
The size of the ogre I met was about 4 to 5 meters.
I went into a dungeon full of ogres and saw them of various sizes while fighting them, but they were almost three times the size of a human.
But when I saw that those guys got bigger as they got closer, I thought they might not be regular ogres, just a rough estimate of 8m.
“Xian, can you do it?”
My brother spoke to me in a very nervous voice.
“I’ll be back.”
After leaving a message to my brother, I stepped on the trampoline and ran straight towards the ogre.
I approached the ogre running towards us, then kicked off the ground, created a bunch of rings of heat, and passed his right hand through.
Yeomryun Kwon (炎輪拳) Nine Wheels (nine wheels).
A white flame lingered in my fist as it passed through nine closely spaced rings of heat, and I struck the ogre’s chest.
Whoa whoa whoa!
In addition, even without mixing the smoke and oxygen, he was able to pierce the ogre’s chest with the power of his fist.
‘If you think about it, 9 stars are not something to be looked down on.’
As I was slightly pushed away by the repulsive force of the Flame Fist, another ogre caught my eye.
Even moments of weakness as a monk, floating in the air, can be overcome by flying in the sky using the white wheel, but I decided to minimize showing the black and white twin wheels to others.
Because Yeonyeom Shingong has a way to deal with the enemy even in this situation.
Flame wheel and prayer beads.
Puhwaaaaa!
In an instant, a ring of heat overlapped right in front of the ogre, who continued to run without stopping even though his companion died, and a pillar of white flame rose from there.
“Ooooo!!!”
The body, made of flesh rather than shell, began to burn quickly.
The white flames that covered the body of the orange-colored guy did not go out easily even when the ogre twisted his body, and the flames began to spread around him.
In the meantime, I landed on the floor and used the Smoke Flame God Technique to absorb the surrounding heat and extinguish the flames, then stepped on the wave wheel again towards the ogre whose flesh was burned.
Yeomryun Kwon (炎輪拳) Nine Wheels (nine wheels).
Once again, white flames shot from my fist through the ogre’s chest, and the poor thing fell to the ground in more pain than the one that had originally run at him.
“Omg…”
Are you glad that he’s not a small and dangerous guy? Because of his large body, he was unable to increase his power, so he came into my sight and died.
Thinking that he might have to check to see if there was a village in the direction he came from, he walked towards the top of Han Clan.
When I arrived nearby, the messengers and monks were looking at me with fascination, and it was the same for my younger brother.
“Uh… Um… Is this really my younger brother, Xian? I thought the old man, King Yeom, had gone back to his hometown.”
“You’re right, brother. It doesn’t seem like there are any giant monsters except for those two, so I think it would be best to move on quickly. Since I was there, I was able to kill that guy easily. If he had shown up in another village, it would have been a disaster.”
After hearing what I said, my older brother blinked a few times and tightened his eyes.
“Yes. You are right. If you are a charlatan, you should save many people. Let’s continue our ascent! Let’s quickly go to the next village!”
“Sir, what should I do with the body of that giant monster?”
“Hmm…”
When the younger brother’s subordinate asked the older brother, the older brother looked at me while drooling.
“The flesh seems useless, so should I take the bones?”
“You said you had to go quickly?”
“I’ll keep busy, so you can keep moving.”
“You may have to fight again, so don’t overdo it.”
“I’ll take care of it.”
As the group continued to move forward, I burned the ogre’s flesh and moved it around, loading the bones onto the wagon.
Every time a large bone was loaded onto a carriage, the priests and servants were amazed at its size.
‘In Yu Xian’s world, even if you can get several times this amount, you’re throwing it away.’
I couldn’t make that much money even if I went through a continuously replaying dungeon.
Really valuable materials can only be obtained if you have graduated from the Global Academy, so students live off the allowance provided by Utopia.
After loading the ogre’s large bone onto the wagon, I went to my brother’s side, and he said to me.
“Sian, it would take a few days for you to go to the Red Valley by yourself, right?”
“Even if I can’t do it, I have to give it three days.”
“I’m worried about whether my house will be okay. The world has become really difficult for people to live in, including the ant monster that attacked the Red Realm last time.”
“It is difficult to deal with the martial arts people with their sharpened swords.”
No matter how high the quality is, a top-notch person is treated as a very expert.
A top-notch expert is at a level that would be a shame to show off, but will that top-notch expert be able to fight an ogre? At least you have to reach the peak, so you can put your energy into your weapon and inflict damage properly.
‘If this situation gets worse, I think the world will change similar to the apocalypse.’
In the zombie apocalypse, in Lee Sian’s hierarchy, the end of the situation was determined to be ‘after a certain period of time’.
However, it is presumed that Kaena is the one who caused the abnormal phenomenon in this layer, so I think we need to do something about Kaena to prevent it.
‘It’s not in my hands yet.’
As I blended into her body, I felt that she could kill me at any time.
As expected, more strength was needed.

“Haha. You think you’ll have fun?”
What I met in the next village was something with a red body.
