Seol-Hwi used one of the best techniques at once.
Tsssss
The sword moved slowly.
Yet he managed to get the perfect execution of the technique.
Shhh
Where the sword moved, frost began to cover the area, and soon sparks followed, leading to an explosion.
Kwakwakwang!
This… is completely mine.
Seol-Hwi put the sword down. Previously it was sothing which needed him to be in a perfect state.
And now he could use it whenever he wanted to. There were nurous ways to use it, and in the anti, his practice had him more proficient in using it. It now felt natural to use even the highest rated techniques.
So, is this the best of the White Light Body Demonic Martial Arts?
No.
There was one more above.
“Ice Field Compression.”
—the technique written on the last page of the book.
According to the explanation, it has the ability to control things in a limited area.
Things—
Everything which exists there.
Land, space, air, and now places like rivers and mountains too.
Control all that?
That is a skill similar to the slowing down technique, but… the more I see it the more it seems different.
There was a clear difference between simply binding ti and being able to control it as needed.
If there were any weapons around, he can use them with a thought, and if there were enemies, he can kill them with a thought.
Of course, to perform that would be extrely difficult.
And it could be used only when the lower dantian is crossed over, it needs the mid and upper dantian too.
This was the reason why Seol-Hwi did not try to quit being in the sect.
Controlling the dantian and handling the mid and upper dantian ans to create a perfect flow.
The words, essence, energy, and body.
The martial arts were possible when all three of them were used together.
“Let’s try it.”
Seol-Hwi was confident.
He would not be this sure in the past, but it felt like he could try it now, so he took a deep breath and concentrated.
“Phew.”
By circulating all the energy at the dantian, the energy was further raised according to the teachings.
And—
Flash!
Seol-Hwi first shot for the upper dantian and then began to set the range for the bottom, and infused internal energy there before stopping.
Pii…
In an instant his ears perceived a tal sound.
This!
Looking around, nothing was there but he realized.
The sound is… gone.
That small sound which was annoying to the ears, the sound of bugs in the ears, there were no animal steps or rough gasps.
Now he wondered if the sound was being blocked, but soon realized that it was not the sound being blocked.
Swish
The body was moving slowly, highly slowly.
This is…
Taking one step made Seol-Hwi frown more.
He had to control the surroundings.
It was written in the book, but it was not described as to what kind of martial arts it was. Because of that, it was not known how the change would be. From now on, Seol-Hwi had to do it on his own to find it out.
Slow
As if moving in heavy flowing water, when he took three steps.
Swish!
Like a lie the force around vanished and the sound of grass, bugs, and all could be heard.
And—
Ah!
As soon as he looked at the text he wanted to see, Seol-Hwi realized what he just used and the sentence ca.

“…Ugh, this is insane.”
As soon as he saw the skill table, he couldn’t stop saying that word.
Doesn’t this an he would not be able to use this?
Unless there is a situation where his internal energy is completely exhausted and the opponent was giving him ti, there was no way he could execute such a technique.
“But well, I managed to get it.”
It was a technique which could control the surroundings and the things within it. To be able to use it and how much he had to be prepared could be a thought of later.
Seol-Hwi turned to the other martial arts he learnt.
Annihilation of All Things—
Originally, this was a martial art which represented the Fiery Bare-handed martial arts.
But with this done, there is another technique ahead too.
“Hellish Annihilation Arts…”
As it was of fla arts, it was said that the flas of hell which are not supposed to exist in this world and it would cause everything to explode.
It was said that it destroyed everything that it passes by and its power cannot be assessed.
“Let’s try this out too.”
Seol-Hwi raised his sword.
This was a martial art which was a lot better than the previous one.
Wheik!
As Seol-Hwi infused internal energy, flas burned around the sword.
It was to the point that it felt like a normal fla of fla arts.
The problem ca from here.
“Uhhhh.”
Seol-Hwi continued and infused more internal energy. He recalled what he read in the book and clearly implented it.
Pat!
But it wasn’t easy. The sword fla began to give out sparks and the flas continued to vanish.
Shhh…
After holding on for a while, the flas turned bright blue. The blue flas were a quiet but hotter fla.
But this was not what he wanted to do. It seed unlike the last ti, it was not going to work on his first try.
“Phew.”
Seol-Hwi caught his breath and focused.
Hellish Annihilation. This too required upper dantian to be used.
However, unlike before, where it opened up at the right mont, it did not open now.
This was a technique which attacked three tis, so they had to use all the internal energy at once. If the internal energy and the essence was not balanced right, the true effect of Hellish Annihilation cannot be seen.
Shhhh
After repeating several mistakes, Seol-Hwi picked up so tricks. Concentrating on the three dantian points, he moved again.
Tatatak!
The fla began to move again, and vanished like a lie.
And—
Huh!
The fla turned dim purple this ti.
Now!
The fla did not have a bright glow or furious movent. It was just burning like a fla in the fog.
Let’s focus and shoot it once.
Ohhhh!
It made a horrid sound, stretched out, and soon disappeared. However, the disappearance was not normal.
It vanished, leaving a purple light, as if the two energies were interlocked.
“Huh. Huh.”
Seol-Hwi stumbled and his face turned pale.
He felt everything within him get drained for that single attack.
He needed a terrible amount of energy to make this work, and even though his body could generate internal energy, he realized this was sothing that could only be used just once a battle.
“With this…”
Seol-Hwi began to take calm breaths. It could have been used against a real enemy, but it felt like he should have higher understanding before deciding to risk it.
“If it were Goo Jong-Myeong…”
There were words which appeared in front of his eyes occasionally. It was confirming that he learned sothing new.
But—
“Fuck…”
He cursed.
This too…

The list of actions required had no end in sight.
The next day—
The party decided to live in the middle of the mountain in Haenam island.
They avoided any crowded place with people. Training was important but they could not let sothing bad happen like the last ti.
“It will be a ss if we move too far away from people too.”
So it was the right location.
If they moved one mile in, they would find a deserted valley too.
If they go down, they would find a village and a port, so it was convenient for when they needed things, and they could easily head back for training.
“Is there anyone here who can do so wood work?”
Imugi hired three to four people from the village, and asked them to build a house by paying a good amount.
And they completed the task within three days.
“…Are you really a fisherman? Not a carpenter?”
The fisherman smiled at the question of Imugi.
“Hehehe. You must not know about boat works.”
They fixed boats on the sea, so building a house on solid land was too easy. In any case, the man said this was his side inco and Imugi gave him the money.
In the anti, Songhwa was teaching Seol-Hwi.
Seol-Hwi, who was being taught, was naked this ti. He decided it would not make much difference, so he took down the sword, belt, and shoes and placed them into the box.
“Now let’s get down to business.”
Songhwa taught theory first and then gave him practical lessons.
The art of disguise, it was known to be the foundation of a spell, and it played a big role in establishing the nations in the past.
The theories of astronomy, divination, stealth, the zodiac signs, shapeshifting, and the other things Songhwa knew.
Seol-Hwi found this quite difficult to understand, but it did not matter much to learn.
All things his body felt familiarized with.
These spells… I cannot do it.
Seol-Hwi realized that these abilities were not suitable for him. In particular, Stealth was where one moved over space, not hidden movent, so it was difficult to do it.
It took a lot of ti to do, and after climbing to Supre Demon, there were too many techniques which used the upper dantian.
Still, these were good things to use.
“Fangshi, you need to learn how to control the soul.”
This seed quite useful.
It was a trick to control the crazy demons, the ones who lost their will and souls.
Then…
Among the subordinates of the Second Disciple, the strongest were the Fangshi who controlled the Kangshi and made Soulless, which ant Seol-Hwi could now handle them too.
“A-amazing. Master, how did you learn it in such a short ti?!”
“…”
Songhwa was shocked, but Seol-Hwi did not respond much.
It was not sothing he could explain simply because he understood it. Songhwa tried to reason it as him learning it because he hit Supre Demon.
A short break ca.
Seol-Hwi began to look at the sky.
“How much have we trained?”
“Around… I think for three days.”
“…That much?”
“Did you not know? Master has great concentration. Within four hours we managed to establish what I said.”
“I see.”
Seol-Hwi scratched his head.
In a good sense it was that he was concentrated, but it also ant he was not looking at other things.
By the ti he ca to his senses, three days had passed.
It felt like he had sohow had his ti stolen, but at the sa ti he also felt like there was a huge progress in the three days.
“Right, you have been through a lot, now let’s go ho.”
“Yes, well, Imugi-hyung said it will be done by today.”
“Is that so?”
When Songhwa said so, Seol-Hwi gestured.
“Let’s go.”
“Ah, Master. Actually there is sothing I need to tell you.”
Songhwa pulled out a letter which Seol-Hwi took.
[Captain. This is Yorim. I am being chased now. I will see you in person and tell you the details… Please let know where you are. But since I am out of the Demonic Sect, send it to the location I am writing below in four days.]
“This!?”
Seol-Hwi recognized it.
“When did this co? Or rather, how did you get this?”
“That,”
Songhwa explained.
When they decided to move to Haenam, Songhwa sent a final letter to the subordinates. He prepared a trained falcon for it, and if they had a chance, he asked them to respond.
And it was lucky as it arrived a few nights before.
“Why didn’t you tell sooner!”
“That… we had a day to spare and a place to send the information to. Master was training and I had thought…”
“Ah…”
Seol-Hwi stroked his chest.
This was good, and he was not going to miss the timing this ti, he was excited by the potential of seeing his subordinates again.
“Right. Then tell them where the place is.”
“I will do so.”
At Seol-Hwi’s words, Songhwa nodded.
He also had a pretty happy face at the thought of seeing the mbers again.
