Chapter 458 – King Yan’s Disciple 4 (35)
“Hmm… It’s very uncomfortable because I can’t use my right arm.”
Master said to me while eating with his left hand.
“It’s a miracle that it ended that way.”
The teacher suffered serious injuries that threatened his life and was bleeding profusely.
His right arm was carved so thick that the bone was exposed, so he had doubts about whether such a large wound could be healed with a magic circle that heals scars, so he carved a magic circle, but as a result, he was left with a bony arm.
The thick sword wound on his chest had now healed to the point of leaving a large scar, and the deep wounds on various parts of his body could not be completely treated due to the teacher’s lack of stamina.
Since he was a master who was close to transcendence, he was able to withstand my healing magic circle. If it were an ordinary person or a king-level warrior, he would have died.
I suffered a wound that would have killed anyone else, and as a result of repairing it, I think it was a cheap deal, as it resulted in a disability in my right arm and a decline in my martial arts skills.
‘I don’t know if it’s a martial artist who collapsed while aiming for the top.’
It reminded me of the strong martial artist who fell to Kaena.
In order to cure his body’s disorder, he chose to receive help from Kaena, and as a result, he was used as a hunting dog to kill Master.
Master, who had been eating oatmeal for a while, lowered his spoon, looked at me, and said.
“Disciple, what do you plan to do now?”
“Shouldn’t he become a little stronger? Since he won’t be able to immediately gain the level of power of the Seven Kings of Wulin, I think he will remain a little calm.”
“Because we are exposed beings, we are mentioned first when mentioning the strong. There are still masters who are equal to you in this martial arts group. If you use those people, chaos will come again.”
“To deal with those people, to kill that bitch, I have to become stronger.”
After hearing what I said, Master slowly nodded.
“I’m glad you don’t seem intimidated.”
“It was like that when Master couldn’t wake up. I kept thinking that I was not good enough and that Master had overexerted himself to protect me.”
“If it weren’t for you, the Yokai Gate would not have been destroyed, and not only Anhui but the entire central plain would have been a mess to the monsters.”
“I think there is more that Master can do than that.”
I thought it would be better in the long run for Master, who has not lost his strength, to kill monsters near Namgung Sega.
“Trying to keep making an old master work… It’s over. I got the title of Flame King when I launched the Demonic Cult, and I’ve had it for a long time. Now that I can’t protect the central plain, it’s time to return it.”
“It’s not like someone told you to do it, right? If you’re tired, you should rest.”
“Yes. Because no one told me to do it. Besides, wasn’t it okay to raise someone to guard it instead of me? Well, I won’t ask you to take over. It’s not like I kept teaching ‘you’ for that purpose in the first place. It’s faded, but it’s still there, right? “
I think an EX assimilation rate of 35% is quite high, but it seems like Master is weakening and not able to detect it properly.
“Yes, they remain. However, there is no significant difference between the two, so there is no need to distinguish them that way.”
“You are better. Would I still be alive like this if I was originally a disciple?”
The answer to that question was already decided, so I didn’t answer it.
“If you decide to become that bitch’s opponent, you will have to become stronger than me. I have nothing more to teach you now, so all I can do is protect your home.”
“If it means protecting the place I can return to, I am overflowing.”
Whenever I went outside, the enemy system always bothered me.
Even if your level is low, there is no need to worry as Master can kill most monsters.
“Good. Then, bring meat and alcohol. Sorry, oatmeal doesn’t fill my stomach.”
“Master, I’m not a real lawmaker, but I know that’s crazy.”
“You’ve grown a lot?”
“Yes. It was a bit big.”
Still, the white oatmeal wasn’t that good, so I boiled vegetable oatmeal and brought it to him. The teacher glared at me and continued eating.

When Master came to his senses and regained some of his strength, he began his journey from Hefei to Jeokgye.
According to the story I heard while wandering around the streets, the imperial family came to treat Namgung Sega as something close to a traitor.
If Kaena hid her existence, the incident would have been too obvious.
In order to create Namgunghyeon’s arm, the King of Swords used evil magic and in return opened a door for monsters to come out.
Since numerous people died and lost their homes because of the monsters that came out of that gate, it would be convenient for the imperial family to place the blame on the Namgung family.
“Master, what do you think of the imperial family?”
“I don’t like it. I don’t know why I have to serve that bloodline.”
I was momentarily speechless at the teacher’s extremely progressive remarks.
“An emperor who rules the central plains should not think of the affairs of Wulin as a separate matter. Since he cannot do that, he talks about the inviolability of his government affairs. In the meantime, seeing that he targeted the Namgung family, whose power he has weakened, it seems to be falling to an unprecedented level.”
“Well… I guess I should say that it’s not my fault that a strong player like Kaena is running around in the midfield.”
“When I see an emperor who has no intention of taking responsibility… Doing something like that, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to commit suicide to Wulin.”
Master did not seem to have the personality to quietly rise to government office.
I don’t think I have the constitution of a Taoist to cultivate the Tao in the mountains, but I thought that if I were to classify it as a spiritual practice, I would be closer to a Sapa.
Even though he was a military man in Sapa, people would have recognized King Yeom as a military person in the Joseon Dynasty because he saved many people for a long time.
“It would be better to talk about your martial arts rather than the imperial family’s poor taste.”
“Hmm. It’s okay. Master, it’s okay if you tell me everything.”
I thought it would be okay to take the teacher’s advice as I could heal wounds that are normally impossible to heal with the magic circle through Shadow Craft.
“I was able to control the power of shadows and darkness while learning the Yeonyeom Shingung (連炎神功) taught to me by my teacher…”
I revealed to Master the power I had been hiding and the newly created black and white twin wheels.
Master listened to my story by nodding his head, but he did not give any advice about black and white twins.
“You may not know the Yeonyeom Shin Technique that I taught you, but the Black and White Twin Wheel is a new path for you to pioneer. You will have to face more challenges and fail to move forward.”
Still, talking to Master was quite helpful.
*
I don’t think it took more than twelve hours to go from Jeokgye to Hebi and break down the dimension door, but it took several times as long to come back.
Is it because I faced threats to my life while meeting many masters? Thinking that he really missed home, he summoned Shahemos.
“Seobang, you treated me so coldly. Hmph.”
Master laughed when he saw Shahemos turning his head while saying that.
Now that he knows roughly what Shahemos is, he knows that I am not doing anything strange.
“It looks really cute, but it’s Angkalji.”
“Ugh. You’re so angry…”
“You will have a lot of time to spend with your student in the future, so it would be good if you thought you gave it to me.”
“Yes, I understand.”
We arrived at the entrance to the Red Realm with Shahemos, who had become calm in front of Master.
“Huh… ? Are you a Han Xian Xiaoxiao? And the two of you…”
The gatekeeper, who knew my face, looked at Master and Shahemos.
“Yes. I am Master and his fiancée.”
“Master! Elder King Yeom! Please come in. I heard that you helped solve the Namgung family’s problem.”
“Now, I am an old man with no power to be called the Flame King.”
The teacher showed his bony right arm to the gatekeeper and the gatekeeper swallowed his saliva.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Thank you. I hope you have a hard time too.”
We were able to enter the Red Realm when the Master tapped the gatekeeper’s shoulder with his left hand.

『Quest』
〈Destroy the dimensional gate created in Namgung Sega.〉
-Completed: Skill Link (A)-〉 Skill Link (S), Strengthening Flame Magic (9 stars).
【3】
【Han Sian-(100%)+(EX 35%)】
【Level: 4】
【Combat power: 1734+(532)】
【Holding skills: Yeonyeom Shingong (9 stars), Yeonhwanryu (B)】
【Awaiting Quest (13/13)】
By completing the quest to destroy the dimensional door, the skill link and fire flame magic were strengthened.
【Skill: Flame God Art (9 stars)】
【Open a new path with the connected flame.】
【EX1. White Flame: A flame containing the power of purification burns.】
【EX2. Yeomwanggi (炎王氣): Overcoming limits with condensed flame.】
In Yeonyeom Shingong, with a slight change, Yeomwanggi (炎王氣) replaced Yeomyanggi (炎陽氣).
Wouldn’t this mean that using Yang energy is ultimately not suitable for Yeonyeom Shingung?
If you think about it, the skill that deals with negative energy was not Shadow Mastery, but the Black Spiritual Killing Method.
I checked the skill link, thinking that I would be able to establish how to control Yang energy later.
【Skill: Skill Link (S)】
【Connects forces from different sources.】
【One. Boost: Ability is amplified.】
【2. Unlimited: Connect two or more skills.】
【3. Connect: Remembers skills that have been connected more than a certain number of times.】
Flame Craft, presence detection-wave, and presence detection-zero can now be used without going through skill link-boost.
When using a boost, mana consumption increases and the power is amplified, but it is more efficient because there are many cases where such power amplification is not necessary.
Considering the connections I made to use Afterflame Breakthrough, I thought Connect would definitely be helpful.
‘Whoa… ‘. I didn’t know I would have such a hard time.’
It was really okay to mix with Kaena’s her body her of.
But suddenly something big happened in the Namgung family, and she had to fight for her life. Although some time had passed, fatigue had accumulated in her spirit.
‘It’s hard to rest properly here where Kaena is active. I’ll feel comfortable at the academy.’
Master Yanwang, who could not help me with my training, was now at the Han Manor, and I had come up to Huangshan for a while with Shahemos. It was the perfect time to return.
“Master, are you going back?”
Shahemos must have read my inner thoughts by looking into my eyes.
“I guess so. Yan Wanggi is quite helpful, but I think I need to get more hints about Yang Qi.”
“Okay. Let’s go back.”
I retrieved Shahemos and used the skill.
The return of possession.
