Episode 92 – The road to walk (3)
As the meeting was long, preparations for the second leg were quickly prepared.
And that statement was the same as saying that the three academies accepted Seo-joon’s proposal.
The prize money for the second match was 6 billion, the same as the first match, the tournament.
In addition, Seojun was able to receive the 6 billion won prize he won in the first round of the tournament as an advance payment.
After confirming that the deposit was completed, Seo-joon immediately connected to the transcendent academy.
“Then what should I take the Mana lecture for?”
The lectures recommended by the mentor were none other than four.
Seojun could listen to two, but still had the option to choose two of them.
However, Seo-joon’s worries did not last long.
It was because the answer was fixed if both stability and efficiency could be taken.
[Anguish in the heart. meet the whole self Cheondunsimbeop (天遁心法). (Instructor: Geomseon Yeo Dong-bin)]
[Power like a seething dragon. Dragon Aura. (Instructor: Siegfried)]
Lu Dongbin’s Cheondusim method that pursues extreme stability.
Siegfried’s Dragon Aura that pursues extreme efficiency.
Learning these two was the best choice.
Seo-joon pressed the button to attend the two lectures.
Hold on. Hold on.
Just like that, with one touch and two touch, a large amount of 20 billion won evaporated.
“……shit.”
Seo-joon forcibly suppressed the swearing that leaked out without even realizing it.
I should have gotten used to it at this point, but this was a feeling I couldn’t get used to.
“No… My causality hasn’t been measured, so why is the price like this?”
I just spit it out, but when I spit it out, it was like that again.
If causality is not measured, shouldn’t all prices be free?
“Or is the minimum causality applied…”
Seojun shook his head.
“Eh, let’s just listen to the first lecture quickly.”
Then, Seo-jun quickly shook his head as if shaking off his thoughts.
Anyway, before the start of the 2nd game, time was tight because we had to break through the short circuit.
Seo-joon looked at the two lectures added to the list of lectures.
And after thinking for a while, I decided to first take a lecture on the method of mind-training by Geomseon Lu Dong-bin.
Hold on.
.
.
[The location of the lower abdomen is generally 3 inches below the navel, but this is a human standard. To express it as an existence, it is located in the anterior seven and posterior three parts under the two kidneys.]
Along with the playback of the river, the image of Lu Dongbin sitting quietly in the green bamboo grove was reflected on the screen.
In the legend, he is one of the Eight Immortals (八仙) and was given the name Geomseon (劍仙) because he saw the tip of a sword (劍).
Lu Dong-bin continued to speak, exuding the air of a gentle student.
[It is the center of Danjeongihyeol (丹田气穴), and the center of the qi veins and blood points. The way to build internal energy using this is Ungijosik (運氣調息). It is also called Danjeon breathing (丹田呼吸) because Danjeon seems to be breathing.]
[And this kind of danjeon breathing is possible only when the danjeon blood is opened. However, in order to open the Danjeonhyeol, you must first be able to attain Suzhou Heaven.]
[In that sense, in the first lecture, I will open the danjeon blood and at the same time teach you how to do sojucheon before the explanation of the cheondunsimbeop (天遁心法).]
[Now, sit down in a comfortable position.]
Seojun slumped in his seat.
It is said that the lotus position is usually the most acceptable, but since Lu Dongbin did not bother to mention it, it did not seem to matter.
After slowly closing my eyes and concentrating, I heard Dongbin Lu’s words again, like hallucinations.
[First of all, put your mind together, reflect on the lower part of the temple, and observe it indifferently.]
Seo-joon focused on the bottom three inches below the belly button.
Even so, it was only a little conscious.
So Seo-jun honestly wondered what this meant.
But just then
hot.
I felt something hot near the bottom of the palace.
It was only for a moment that Seojun was surprised.
[If any heat or change occurs, hold it and breathe.]
Just then, I heard Dongbin’s voice.
It was as if he was watching Seo-joon’s progress one by one.
[However, do not force that breath. The body is an autonomous being made with the most precision and sensitivity in the universe.]
[Ki is the power of the source, and the two are not swayed by artificial things.]
[So don’t overdo it or be strong, start softly and delicately at first. thin and deep. Also, it is continued for a long time and then again softly and finely.]
“……What is he saying now?”
Seojun muttered involuntarily.
It was also because he couldn’t understand what Yeo Dong-bin was saying.
“Not strong, but soft? Long and fine? what is this…”
Seo-joon thought about it several times, but couldn’t understand it.
“Let’s just give it a try.”
Seo-joon took the heat and led it with his senses.
however.

“huh?”
Surprisingly, it worked!
To be precise, I would say that I got a sense of what it felt like.
“……What?”
This is the expression of not understanding with the head, but understanding with the body.
“Could this be… is it because of Chiron’s metamorphosis?”
That’s what I said, but when I thought about it, it seemed like that.
If you think about expanding the realm of the senses, it makes sense.
“This helps in this way too…”
Somehow, the mentor emphasized the transcendental curriculum from beginner to advanced, and there was a reason for it.
As Seo-joon breathed in the heat in the bottom hall, he heard Dong-bin Lu’s words again.
[Now, centering on the Dokmaek (督脈) and the Immaculate (任脈), the perineum (會陰), Miryeo (尾閭), Myeongmun (命門), Hyeopcheok (夾脊), Jujube (大推) , jade acupuncture, baekhoe, and then again to the poison vein and the vein of the mind.]
“……What is this again?”
And Seo-joon muttered again involuntarily.
Of course, this time I was able to understand at least what it meant about the location of the blood points in the body.
However, the problem was that Seo-joon had no idea where the acupoint was located.
So Seo-joon had no doubts that Yeo Dong-bin would soon explain about blood spots.
However, Dongbin’s voice was no longer heard.
“What are you asking me to do… wait, can this be?”
Seo-jun tried to lead the heat with his senses, just in case.
OK.
thud! coo kung!
When I tried this, it happened again!
“……What is it really?”
For the first time in a while, Seo-joon could feel the sensation of ascending to heaven.
“I’m really… Is this because of the metamorphosis?”
Seojun shook his head.
Maybe this is the true meaning of metamorphosis, I thought.
[It is to initiate the sun to get the fire, and to accumulate inner energy in the danteon through breathing.]
Yeo Dong-bin’s voice followed without fail.
Seo-joon listened to Yeo Dong-bin’s voice and moved his energy along the bloodline as his senses led him.
As we moved along all the acupuncture points, we heard Lu Dongbin’s words again.
[This way of moving the energy is called Sojucheon. The method of completing the Suzhoucheon to form a small medicine, and the method of making it, is called the Great Zhoucheon. By completing this Great Heaven, one will be able to achieve the Great Medicine, that is, Nirvana.]
Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!
At the end of Dongbin Yeo’s words, Seojun’s lower end began to heat up.
The heat, which rose without warning, maintained the status quo for quite some time.
T-ring!
[The Daily Personal Assignment has arrived.]
[The causal rate is calculated and assignments appropriate to the level of the current student are assigned.]
-Complete 100 times of Sojucheon. [0/100]
<The assignment will continue to change depending on the level of the learner.>
The energy that was heated with the rising personal task was gradually captured in Seo-joon’s body.
Seo-jun quietly closed his eyes and contemplated his body.
And soon, I could clearly feel the power of mana, the internal air that settled in Hadanjeon.
“What is this…”
But somehow, that power was unusual.
If I had to compare it, it wasn’t as much as divine power, but it was slightly superior to the power of the Aura Blade.
Seojun checked the progress of the lecture just in case.
<Lu Dongbin lecture progress rate 0.8% (+0.8%)>
However, the progress rate of the lecture only increased by 0.8%.
“Eh? Only 0.8%?”
Seo-joon was beyond surprised and even embarrassed.
That would be true, too, because even if you just hit a simple calculation, this power you feel right now is only 0.8%.
“Isn’t this enough to really… mean that existence will cease to exist?”
Seo-jun couldn’t help but be nervous without knowing it.
I don’t know, but wouldn’t the Dragon Aura River be similar to this?
And the mentor said that if you use two dantian at the same time, your existence will disappear.
Seo-joon could feel for himself that those words were not just a joke.
“D-It’s okay to listen, right…?”
Seo-joon was very hesitant… but eventually decided to take the lecture.
Anyway, 10 billion had already been spent, and it was because the director of the transcendent academy had said.
Seo-joon closed his eyes and pressed the lecture on Dragon Aura.
Hold on!
.
.
[I’ll tell you in advance, I hate boring things!]
The person who appeared on the screen was a muscular man with spiky hair.
Siegfried, the hero of the mythical Song of the Nibelungs and the first dragon slayer.
There was an unusual sword on his back, and it was not difficult for Seo-jun to know that it was the legendary sword ‘Balmung’.
[What is it that is boring? Now, listen carefully.]
Siegfried frowned and spat out words like a rapid-fire cannon.
[Mana is the source of existence. In a word, it can be said to be a concept that allows all matter to continue as existence.]
[It literally has tremendous power because it is the source of existence.]
[However, you can’t use the power of existence recklessly. So, in order to use the source more actively, a special device is needed.]
[The organ that projects the will. It’s an organ that projects the will you feel and think into the source, and it’s easy to understand if you think of it as an amplifying organ that makes it easy for your will to affect mana.]
[We activate it near the heart, so people over there call it the mid-half field. But the official name is Circle.]
[With this circle, we can use the power of the source more easily and actively.]
[And in the end, the goal is to break out of that circle. To be precise, it can be said to make the heart itself a complete circle.]
[That’s the Dragon Heart you all know.]
[This Dragon Aura lecture I teach can be said to be a lecture to make your heart the closest to a dragon heart.]
That moment.
Suddenly, Siegfried took out a balm from his back and stuck it to the floor.
Koo Goo Goo.
Awesome!!
Then the ground shook as if there was a major earthquake, and the ground began to split in all directions.
The sight unfolded just by lowering the sword.
“……What?”
Rather than being embarrassed, Seo-joon was ridiculous.
However, whether or not he knew Seo-jun’s feelings, Siegfried continued to speak.
[How is it! Isn’t it boring as f*ck! Don’t you want to turn off the lecture because you’re so bored!! Don’t you want to press the back button right now!!!]
[Gorita breaks down!! Bored!!! Honestly, what do you know about such a concept! Even if you know that this kind of old-fashioned and unappetizing thing, stop! Stop not knowing!]
Then Siegfried picked up the Balmung stuck in the ground.
Then, an inexplicable force erupted from Siegfried’s whole body.
and momentarily
Quagga gag gag gak gak!!!!
Fragments of the cracked earth began to soar into the sky.
At the same time, Balmung’s blade began to turn red…
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
On the land whose end is unknown.
The whole area was annihilated without a trace in the shape of a fan with Balmung being swung.
Exactly as it was expressed, it disappeared.
Then Siegfried pointed his finger at the front of the screen and shouted.
[You guys are just curious about how to use this power! yes! Right? under! Even if you want to deny it, your heart will already be honest!!]
[If you learn something complicated, you will learn it on your own! f*ck the concept! If you can, give it to the dragon next door!!!]
[Efficiency! Everything is Efficient!! Get rid of complicated and boring things and make a circle right away!!]
And it was really fleeting.
Seo-joon made a circle in response to Siegfried’s unreasonable explanation of threats.
The lecture ended in an instant, with the feeling that Merlin’s insight might have been helpful.
T-ring!
[The Daily Personal Assignment has arrived.]
[The causal rate is calculated and assignments appropriate to the level of the current student are assigned.]
-Complete 100 circle cycles. [0/100]
<The assignment will continue to change depending on the level of the learner.>
Along with the daily task that came to mind, Seo-jun could clearly feel a ring near his heart.
“……”
At the same time, I could clearly feel the gooey that was going out.
“Ever since the Fafnir commentary lecture, I thought it was unusual, but…”
Somehow, Siegfried seemed insane in a different sense… no, in the true sense.
“Well, it’s good that it’s not difficult.”
Seo-joon let out a smile.
In any case, Seojun was able to safely open the lower half, middle half, and circle.
Seo-joon closed his eyes for a moment to check his current condition.
“Um… isn’t there anything particularly different?”
But I didn’t feel anything different.
It’s just that I feel a different power from my body than usual?
I didn’t feel any pressure or feeling that my existence would collapse.
“Are you really okay? Or is it because it’s not finished yet?”
I don’t know which one, but right now it didn’t seem to matter much.
And just then.
“Seojun Kim! Are you ready?”
Before I knew it, I heard a voice calling Seo-joon.
“I need to take the elixir after the tournament.”
Seo-joon slowly got up from his seat and that’s how the last, second round of the exchange began.
#
The rules for the second round were as follows.
A representative from Dream, Hunter Mill, Gaon, and Ale and one student representative form a team.
And it was a simple rule that ended when you raid the implemented dungeon.
However, the method was a little unusual, but the dungeon was divided into three rather than one.
It was divided into 1 dungeon, 2 dungeon and 3 dungeon, and the students were in 1 dungeon.
Academy representatives raid the 2nd dungeon alone.
And when you clear each dungeon, magic crystals are created.
If you take 2 magic crystals created in each dungeon and insert them into dungeon 3, a boss monster will be summoned somewhere in the dungeon.
The boss monster was dealt with by the students and the representative in cooperation.
The time to clear 1 dungeon like that, the time to clear 2 dungeons.
In addition, the team with the fastest record by adding up the time to find and deal with the boss monster in the 3 dungeons was the method to win.
1 dungeon is a 7-star dungeon, and the monster that implements it is a lycanthrope.
2 dungeons are implemented as 8-star dungeons, and the monster is the Salamander.
And the boss monster of the last 3 dungeons was a 9-star monster, a basilisk.
“I heard that the representatives of the academy directly participated in the second game this time?”
As a result, reporters, students, and various officials who attended the exchange began to stir.
“They were originally instructors, but Kim Seo-joon just said that all the representatives should come out?”
“Oh, that’s a lot of confidence.”
“No matter how S-class hunters are… wouldn’t it be difficult?”
“That’s true…but I don’t think Kim Seo-joon would know.”
People each expressed their opinions about the results of the second game.
However, most of them agreed that it would be difficult this time, no matter how Kim Seo-jun was.
Amidst such opinions, Seo-jun and Seo-yoon were preparing for the second match that would soon begin.
“Whoa…!”
Seoyoon exhaled a deep breath and held on to her heart.
Even if he pretended not to, he seemed quite nervous.
And to be honest, Seo-jun was a bit nervous.
It was inevitable that Seoyoon would fall behind the representatives of the 3 major academies.
However, the 2nd game is a team competition after all.
The winning requirement was the sum of team records, not individual records.
Therefore, even if Seoyoon fell behind, as long as Seojun posted an overwhelming record, there was no problem winning the championship.
In other words, how much Seo-jun shortened the time was the key to this second match.
The problem was that this time the target was the representatives of the three major academies.
As former S-class hunters, they are real pro hunters, not the students they have been dealing with.
‘I don’t know if I can make a difference…’
Of course, in preparation for this, Samdanjeon was opened.
However, since I still don’t know how effective it is, I couldn’t help but be a little nervous as Seo-joon.
“Dream Academy. Please enter when you are ready.”
As I waited, I heard the voice of an official.
Due to a delay in dungeon implementation, Dream Academy was the last to enter.
Whoops!
Upon entering the dungeon with Seoyoon, the first two gates were visible on either side.
And in the center was an altar-like object.
Even at first glance, the gates on both sides are 1 or 2 dungeons. The altar in the center seemed to be the place to put the magic crystals.
Seo-joon quickly moved and stood in front of the first dungeon gate.
Then, when he glanced back, he saw Seoyoon standing in front of the 2nd dungeon.
Still looking nervous.
“Seoyun! Then I’ll see you later!”
Seo-joon, in order to relieve Seo-yoon’s tension, responded vigorously and pushed himself into the first dungeon.
Aww woo woo!!!
As soon as they entered the dungeon, howling wolves resonated in all directions.
A lycanthrope is a humanoid wolf monster, commonly known as a werewolf.
Its sharp claws and agility possessed the power of a 7-star monster.
Also, due to the habit of living in groups, it was one of the most difficult monsters among the 7-star monsters.
“Auuuuuu!!”
“Awww!!”
Before long, red lights appeared one by one.
Those who found Seo-jun started to roar towards the sky in a group.
Even at that moment, they continued to gather and were covered with a bright red glow as if red paint was being applied.
In addition to anger and hatred, fragments of emotions such as joy and joy seemed to rise.
In the resonant howling scream, madness burst out as if it had been squeezed out of every vein.
An insatiable thirst for blood. It seemed that the desires of hunger would tear Seo-jun apart at any moment.
Faced with a blind murderous intent, Seo-joon thumped and kicked the ground.
“For now, lightly…”
At the same time, Seo-Jun memorized the Guyeol of the Cheondunsimbeop (天遁心法) that he had just learned.
Of course, since I had only listened to the first lecture, it didn’t make sense to call it a guild, but… Anyway.
Seo-joon repeated the process that Yeo Dong-bin, the swordsman, had told him about.
Then, the hot energy rising from the bottom of the lower part.
That moment.
Whee-a-a-a-aek!
Suddenly, the circle located near the heart began to rotate violently.
Then, the circle drew the power of the bottom battle and spread the energy throughout the body along with the bloodstream.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Then, a tremendous energy began to emanate from Seo-joon’s whole body.
“Uh… now, wait a minute…!”
Seo-joon could not control the sudden power momentarily.
Seo-joon didn’t know what to do, and eventually threw the spear into the air.
Two-bang!
The air split and a dull noise burst out.
and momentarily
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Explosive power burst from the tip of Seo-jun’s spear as if it split space.
And, of course, the place where the tip of Seo-joon’s spear was headed was the place where the group of lycanthropes was.
“……”
Seo-jun stared blankly at the group of lycanthropes who were almost swept away.
Then, by chance, I met eyes with the surviving lycanthropes out of that range.
“Ah, aww…!”
Then, the lycanthropes who met Seo-jun’s eyes slowly lowered their eyes…
“Kkiing!!”
“Beep!”
Suddenly, he turned around and started to run away.
