How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 35
Chapter 8. Martial Arts (2)
There is one thing that Habukpengga is famous for compared to other Sega.
muscular strength.
A powerful muscle strength worthy of the word divine power.
It is said that the attacks made based on the body’s constitution are so different that they ignore most defenses.
But even if you are born with divine powers, they are like jewels that cannot be polished without training.
The Habuk Pengga have been exploring countless training methods to maximize their strengths.
For example, a method of pushing your body to its limits.
Half an hour was enough for Zhuge Xuanmong to see hell.
“Gasp, gasp, gasp.”
“My body… is a real mess.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Maybe it’s because I don’t move around much, but my flexibility has decreased, my lower body muscles are weak, and… … My balance is off. Don’t you get out of breath even when you move a little?”
“… … .”
“Even if you are a scholar, wouldn’t it be better to move your body a little?”
Jegal Hyunmong nodded.
I was thinking about that while I was training this time.
“First of all, I need to learn how to breathe properly.”
“Are you talking about breathing techniques?”
“That’s right. The basis of all movement is breathing. Inhaling and exhaling. If you can do this properly, you won’t have to waste any energy like you do now.”
“Why is that?”
“Because we receive the energy of all things through our breath. If so, we will be able to receive more of that energy depending on how we breathe. Also, what if we could control that energy rather than just accept it without thinking?”
“I see. If you can control that energy and synchronize it with your body’s movements, you’ll be able to exert much more powerful force.”
Peng Yu nodded at Zhuge Xuanmong’s words.
‘You’re definitely smart. You understood the principle of breathing right away.’
Of course, I can’t say that it’s enough.
It’s a completely different story from pretending to understand something with your mouth.
In reality, it takes a lot of effort and training to embody such a theory.
“Yes. The point is to synchronize the movements of the inside and the outside. That can be said to be the first step. I think it would be good to start with that first.”
Jegal Hyunmong was lost in thought for a moment.
‘Can you do it?’
To be honest, I’m not confident.
Although I understood in my head the idea of breathing properly and sending the strength gained through that breathing out throughout my entire body, I couldn’t guarantee that I would actually be able to do it.
But there was still room for application.
‘I think this will work.’
Generate magical power. In order to more delicately control the generated magical power, a hand seal was formed and a technique was created.
Jegal Hyunmong used body strengthening magic quite often.
Not only was there a time when it was secretly needed, but Allen’s favorite magic to use in his dreams was physical strengthening magic.
But it was true that I had never really thought deeply about it.
‘Because I mostly only used it when I was absent-minded.’
The essence of the body strengthening magic was simple.
It is to inject magic into the muscles to produce strength that they normally cannot produce, or to prevent them from getting tired easily.
It can be said that magical power acts as force. In the form of magical power assisting when moving the body.
Jegal Xuanmong turned it around.
For Jegal Hyunmong, moving his magical power was a faster and simpler way than moving his body.
“Is it like this?”
Jegal Hyunmong guided his body through physical strengthening magic.
The ideal would be to move your body like a puppet, but that was too difficult.
This was because moving muscles itself required enormous magical power calculations.
In addition, moving the entire body required more than one parallel operation.
Either way, it’s impossible with just one ring.
But to some extent, I was able to lead my body.
Even so, it would have been difficult if the surrounding area had not been filled with the energy of the incense burner at Jegal Hyeonmong’s house.
Jegal Hyunmong, who had been squeaking for a moment, soon got the hang of it and moved his body according to the guidance of the magic.
A foreign body flowed into Peng-ak’s eyes.
‘My torso suddenly became stiff.’
The biggest problem with Jegal Hyunmong’s movements was that his body’s midline was not straight, so his body shook more and more whenever he moved, but this was corrected right away.
Of course it was a little shaky, but it was pretty good.
“Come to think of it, you were born with quite a bit of talent.”
“Oh, that’s not it. I just used a little magic.”
“… …Is that even possible with magic?”
“I tried it and it worked.”
Peng-ak looked at Zhuge Xuanmong for a moment.
It was not because Zhuge Liang’s remarks were arrogant.
‘Do you have something you want to say?’
Peng-ak seemed to be thinking for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.
“Anyway, it turned out well.”

“What are you talking about?”
“If you can follow along using such magic, you will be able to follow along with your own training even better. Since you are not used to using your body, I was thinking of making some adjustments… … I don’t think that’s necessary, right?”
“I think that might be necessary!”
“What are you talking about?”
Peng-ak burst into laughter.
“If you can discover new possibilities by practicing like this, wouldn’t you be able to discover something even newer if you push yourself further?”
“… … .”
Jegal Hyeonmong experienced a rare phenomenon.
Is it really this frustrating to be unable to refute something that is so true?
‘I never knew there was such a vicious way of speaking in the world.’
Jegal Hyunmong became angry without even thinking about what he usually did.
“Okay, then let’s begin.”
* * *
Fortunately, there was no need to clear away the invoice.
Although he was scared, Peng Yue trained Zhuge Xuanmong’s body just enough.
But that ‘as much as necessary’ was enough to return to a gait like a newborn deer.
As he headed to his room, Jegal Hyunmong was hesitant, and as soon as he entered, he had to receive a file from Jegal Jun and Samarin.
“What is this…?”
“This is the report you are writing.”
“Weren’t you supposed to write it for me instead?”
“You want us to write a report on the incident with Gal Sa-ryang?”
Jegal Hyunmong smiled brightly.
“But why do you still stay here, Lady Sima?”
“Ah, it’s easy to breathe here. The air here is good. Is there anything uncomfortable about me being here?”
“I can’t rest at ease.”
“That’s what I’m saying. Well, even if you practice, you’ll still have the strength to hold the brush, right?”
Jegal Hyunmong let out a deep sigh.
“But don’t be so hard on yourself, because that’s all you need to do. I was like that when I was young. I had to practice hard and study hard. Isn’t that the same for Zhuge Jun?”
“Yes. There, I had to learn at least one more subject among poetry, calligraphy, and painting.”
‘I’m really glad it wasn’t Jegal Se-ga.’
Even though he is a martial artist, is it really that hard to live?
Jegal Hyunmong, who was nodding off and writing a report, soon fell asleep.
* * *
“Now that the work is somewhat finished, I will teach you Cheon Gi Bo starting today.”
It was on the third day that Zhuge Jun brought up such words.
“Cheon Ki-Bo is a preemptive method. By predicting the direction in advance, you can gain an advantageous position in a confrontation with the enemy, and it has the same effect as reading the weather.”
Zhuge Jun, who had performed all sixteen steps once, stopped briefly and said.
“As you can see, it doesn’t require very intense movements, so it’s a suitable technique for you to learn. Although it’s a family art, it’s a basic one, so there won’t be a big problem if I teach it to you, and it won’t take too long for you to learn it.”
It was just as Zhuge Jun said.
Soon, Jegal Xuanmong was able to learn Cheongibo without difficulty.
Listen to the Cheon Ki-bo’s instructions, identify the group, input the movements into the spell through body strengthening magic, and then repeat.
With just that, Jegal Hyunmong was able to learn the form of Cheon Gi-bo without difficulty.
The problem came next.
“No.”
“… … Excuse me, Jun. Do you really need this?”
Jegal Hyunmong looked at Tang Hwaryeong, who was smiling brightly for no reason, and asked Jegal Jun in a perplexed manner.
It was not Zhuge Jun but Tang Hualing who answered.
“Now that we have learned the meaning and form, we should practice closer to actual combat. What effect would a technique that cannot be avoided have?”
‘This is really lethal.’
Why do you keep saying things that are right?
“Don’t worry. It’s only a pebble the size of a fingernail, so it won’t hurt that much if you get hit.”
“Could you elaborate on your criteria for being sick? My criteria may be a little different from yours.”
“Okay, throw it.”
Tang Hwa-ryeong seemed to have become somewhat accustomed to Jegal Hyunmong’s way of speaking, so he chuckled and then shot the small stone he had been throwing and catching earlier out of nowhere.
Whoosh!
‘Left shoulder!’
Zhuge Xuanmong figured out the orbit and followed the path of Yunqi Chuiwol.
A technique that gains momentum by slightly leaning back and rotating the body.
The stone that Dang Hwa-ryeong fired grazed his left shoulder.
And at that moment, I felt a dull pain in my thigh.
“Ugh!”
“I never said I would throw just one at a time.”
“You never said you could throw more than two at a time!”
“Yeah. Right?”
“… … .”
As he said that, Dang Hwa-ryeong calmly shot a stone.
Jegal Hyunmong opened his mouth after dodging and being hit absentmindedly.
“How long are we going to do this… … Ugh!”
“Well, what if I could get through the rocks I throw and get to the inside of the building?”
‘To that extent.’
Anyway, Tang Hwa-ryeong wasn’t using all his power, so thanks to that, it was possible to read the movements to some extent.
‘It’s worth a try.’
And that was Zhuge Liang’s miscalculation.
“Gasp, gasp, phew.”
“Hmm. You.”
Tang Hua Ling looked at Zhuge Xuan Mong and laughed as if he found it ridiculous.
“You’re a total noob at martial arts?”
I think a normal person would probably get the hang of it to some extent.
They say that because they have good eyes and dexterity, they can quickly follow along, but that’s it.
There was a real lack of understanding and embodying the crowd.
A state where you know it in your head but can’t feel it in your body.
“… … Let me try one more time.”
Jegal Hyunmong let out a long sigh.
‘Let’s do it right just once, just once.’
Jegal Hyunmong took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
“You have good stamina, don’t you?”
As he spoke, Dang Hwa-ryeong threw a stone.
As if making a promise, Dang Hwa-ryeong always aimed for Jegal Hyunmong’s left shoulder when he first threw the stone.
It was after this that the techniques became more diverse. Sometimes they aimed for the teeth, and sometimes they aimed for the pubic area or thighs.
‘Right shoulder!’
Whoosh!
Jegal Hyunmong quickly turned his body around using the magic he had prepared. He performed the left-right reversal of the fortune-telling technique.
And with a light jump, he dodged the stone aimed at his foot.
‘Consider all situations.’
If you don’t have the talent to demonstrate martial arts, you just have to prepare in advance so that you can respond to all situations.
That was something that suited Zhuge Xuanmong’s disposition much better.
‘Three bo!’
Jegal Hyunmong’s feet touched the ground after avoiding Dang Hwa-ryeong’s three attacks.
It was just twisted.
“uh?”
This is not it.
Jegal Hyunmong’s eyes shook and his body flailed.
“huh?”
Dang Hwa-ryeong’s eyes also wavered.
As Jegal Hyunmong’s movements shook unexpectedly, the stone aimed for his chest ended up hitting Jegal Hyunmong’s head.
It was too late to throw another stone and knock it away.
With the feeling that time had slowed down, Jegal Hyunmong clearly saw a stone approaching his forehead.
Maybe it was because of my mood, but it looked unusually sharp and pointy.
That moment.
Tingle-
At the same time, I got the feeling that someone was looking at me with extremely pitiful eyes.
Enlightenment came to Zhuge Liang.
