Reversing Life With Legendary Skills! - Chapter 18
It was hot.
Everything seemed to burn.
Too Duc-!
Too Duc!
There was a sound of a broken bone.
It was a terrible pain.
The broken bones reattached.
Usually, bones can heal, but it can take time.
However, the broken bone was immediately reattached this time.
Too Duc!
Broken.
Healed.
Bones, skin, nerves, blood vessels, etcetera.
Everything that makes up the body is newly created.
The impure energy hidden in the body was discharged through a hole.
All the bad qualities that modern humans have accumulated during their lives have also escaped.
‘Okay…’
The process was very painful.
He felt it in his cells, his nerves, his flesh, his bones. It was beyond imagination.
After a few hours, finally, it was done.
Jin-woo thought, if I had taken these pills alone, I wouldn’t have lasted a minute.
The enormous energy has a destructive nature.
It destroys the surroundings you place it in, and through that destruction, it creates something new.
In short, it means that Jin-woo’s body has been destroyed.
[Concentrate your mind. The moment you lose your mind in pain, your body’s speed of recovery slows down. Then, this mighty power will crush your body.]
The swordsman continued to give advice to Jin-woo.
Thanks to this, Jin-woo was able to get his mind set.
I am not alone.
That fact alone has helped.
‘Okay, uh…’
He bit his lips through the pain.
The swordsman smiled as he watched it.
[You must have that degree of self-righteousness to qualify for discipleship.]
* * *
Jin-woo opened his eyes.
The first thing that caught his attention was the notification window.
[Level has risen.]
He pressed the X button to turn it off.
But soon, there it was again.
[Level has risen.]
He pressed the X button again.
However, the notification window did not disappear.
The notification window did not disappear even if he continuously pressed the X button.
Is it a bug?
“Oh my.”
He stared at the status window in front of him.
[Kang Jin- woo]
[Level: 270]
[Strength: 73(40) Agility: 32 Health: 20 Mana: 30 Inner Air: 180
[Holding Skills: Linguist, Dokgugu Swordsmanship, Red Moon Swordsmanship, Geumgang Fireball]
The level was up significantly.
He was only at level 130 before drinking the elixir.
There is also a new stat called Inner Air, with a huge value of 180.
He didn’t know how it is calculated, but it was above other stats.
“Skill window.”
A new window has opened.
From Linguists to Dokgogu Swordsmanship to Red Moon Swordsmanship – everything appeared normal.
However, the Geumgang Fireball is now shining golden and not grayed-out.
[Skill: Geumgang Fireball]
[Rating: Legend]
[Description: The legendary Geumgang Fireball is here, and a body that is not destroyed by anything has been created.]
[Effect: It becomes a body through which physical attack does not work. Immunity to all poisons. Due to the effects of perforation, the internal air is not consumed.]
“Done!”
[Did you confirm?]
The swordsman falls on his shoulder.
“The level has risen tremendously. Can you see it?”
[I saw it.]
“I thought I could only level up through catching monsters. Why did it rise?”
[The level you say is a measure of strength.]
“Then I am strong?”
[You got stronger. Your body changed by absorbing the power of the oil. The bones, muscles, and nerves have become suitable for mastering the inner air.]
“Is that good?”
[Of course, it is still only a power given to a child. In order to use it fully, you need to learn proper pneumatics and know how to handle it.]
Inner Air training.
The time has finally come.
Jin-woo stood up and looked at the swordsman.
“I will bow.”
[Okay.]
The sword was sitting cross-legged.
Jin-woo bowed to him with all my heart.
After a total of nine bows, the swordsman spoke with a stern look.
[The master is the elder of the Cheonma Protestant Church. Learning martial arts from the master means that you, too, will become a member of Cheonma Protestantism.]
“Yes.”
[Good. Please keep in mind that your honor is the same as the honor of the master.]
Jin-woo nodded.
The swordsman smiled.
* * *
The room is messed up. There were places where the wallpaper was torn, and the walls were dug and cracked.
If anyone sees it, they would think that Jin-woo had a fight.
“Sun-woo must have heard the commotion.”
[No. I stunned her.]
‘What?’ Jin-woo went out and saw Sun-woo watching TV as if nothing happened.
[Gangnam’s C apartment smells bad.]
“Our apartment?” Jin-woo was confused at the swordsman’s words.
[Well, I guess your foreign matter that spilled into the toilet was the problem.]
Then, Jin-woo remembered seeing that in a novel.
It is said that when circumventricular metastasis is achieved, a very stinky liquid is discharged.
Jin-woo was a little puzzled because there was no trace of the stinky liquid in his room.
Then he realized what happened. The swordsman removed it.
“I have troubled you, Master.”
[I just hated being in a room with a disgusting smell.]
Jin-woo was too grateful and said nothing.
[Come here.]
“Yes.”
[From now on, I will hand over you the inner air technique.]
“That… … But Master.”
[Why?]
“Isn’t Cheonma Shingong a martial art that is often transmitted only to the headmasters of Makyo?”
[Everyone is equal before power. Therefore, any member of the church could learn the martial arts called Cheonma Shingong. Anyone can get a fair chance. It’s up to the individual’s ability to get that opportunity.]
“It’s surprisingly fair.”
[It was an uncomfortable logic for many to have.]
It was dim to see why anyone would be uncomfortable with people getting stronger, but Jin-woo realized why.
Powerful people try to protect their power.
This is the status quo.
However, the doctrine of Makyo was to shake the status quo from the beginning.
[Now, those are all useless stories.]
The swordsman was sitting cross-legged.
[There are two powers asleep in your body. Close your eyes and focus your mind. And feel the two forces in your body.]
He closed his eyes as instructed and concentrated his mind.
Soon, through contemplation, he was able to visualize the inside of his body.
It was as if a mysterious landscape unfolded before him.
From a distance, two glowing spheres were visible.
One was red and the other white.
When Jin-woo tried to approach it, he heard a voice from the swordsman.
[The red sphere is the power you can handle now.]
‘What about the white one?’
[The power of ten thousand years old oil is enormous. Your body can’t handle it all at once. So, I sealed off half of it.]
“If it’s sealed, can I use it later?’
[When the time comes. For now, focus on the power you can use. The master will move the power now. Memorize the path well.]
‘Yes.’
Jin-woo felt a warm touch on my back.
Subsequently, the red sphere began to move.
Slowly moving at first, it began to increase in speed.
Soon after, it shook through Jin-woo’s body at a very high speed like a sports car on a well-polished highway.
There was no blockage in movement.
This is because there was no single impure left in the body.
The red sphere, which began beneath the navel, ran past down to the direction of the toes.
[Have you memorized it all?]
It was a very complicated route.
There are three hundred fifty-five blood vessels in the human body.
The energy flows through the blood vessels.
The path is not something that a normal person could memorize at once, but Jin-woo answered immediately.
‘Yes.’
[Try it.]
Jin-woo focused his mind.
Soon the red sphere began to move at his will.
The path was as if the swordsman was moving it.
It started slowly but soon began to move faster by adding speed.
[Look at him.]
A smile deepened in the mouth of the swordsman.
It took only one try, and the disciple in front of him has already memorized the path exactly.
After a while…
“Hoo-woo!”
Jin-woo drew a deep breath and finished.
[Once a day, repeat it.]
“Yes.”
Jin-woo, who got up from his seat, looked at his body.
He felt very light.
“I like doing it – Daejucheon method, right?”
The swordsman nodded.
[Human beings accumulate waste products in their bodies every day. Daejucheon also includes the process of discharging such wastes, so the body inevitably becomes lighter.]
“I wonder how strong I am.”
[Only one way to find out.]
Jin-woo smiled at the words of the swordsman.
The time to hunt monsters is back.
* * *
Jin-woo had a meeting with Han Yu-ra.
“I beg your pardon?”
She asked with amazement.
“It has reached level 270.”
“Are you kidding me?” She asked.
It was a natural reaction.
After Jin-woo reached level 130, only two weeks have passed.
It was not possible that it had doubled.
“Status Window.” The window popped up when Jin-woo said the command.
Han Yu-ra stared at the window with eyes wide open.
“This…”
[Level: 270]
“What the hell did you do?!”
“It’s confidential.”
“What?”
“I don’t want this information to be open to anyone.” Jin-woo answered.
“We are in the same guild…”
“That doesn’t mean I have to give you access to all information.”
Han Yu-ra bit her lips because it was true.
Guilds and players are contractual.
The contract doesn’t last a lifetime.
At the end of the contract period, there will be offers from other guilds, and a transfer may happen.
“I need some excuse for the press. So I need to know the right information.”
“I think that will be done by the guild.”
Media play is entirely up to the guild.
Han Yu-ra walked away and made a call.
“Master, it’s me. I have something to discuss.”
-Say it.
She explained the situation.
Park Tae-sung, who heard all the stories, was silent for a moment and opened his mouth.
-Do whatever you want.
“Yes? But in situations where you don’t even know how the level up happened…”
-You can make a reason. Say he used an experience talisman or took a potion.
“But all of those things are just legends, right?”
There were legends going around about talismans and potions that increase experience.
There were items such as that in games, so logically, something like it may exist in a world that has changed like a game.
-It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not. The main thing is whether it is convincing or not.
“That’s it…”
-Please try to see the maximum convenience.
“Yes, I understand.”
Yu-ra’s gaze turned to the chair where Jin-woo was sitting.
Her eyes were full of questions.
