Chapter 206: Sleeping Dragon
“Zhuge Liang.”
Zhuge Liang, known by the nickna Sleeping Dragon, was the perfect god for the keyword Ethan had entered.
Ethan pressed subscribe without hesitation.
-38 likes are needed to subscribe.
38 likes.
Judging by the na alone, it seed this god would certainly be worth the price.
“To resolve Regia’s doubts, I need even greater genius than I have now. And that genius ultimately cos from understanding.”
He needed the power to gain insight, grasp, and understand.
“This will surely give definite abilities in terms of grasping and understanding. 38 likes won’t be wasted.”
-You have subscribed to Sleeping Dragon!
-You have used likes.
A high number of subscribers and a matching number of likes.
And above all, the number of videos uploaded to the channel was overwhelming.
“Wow.”
There were so many videos it was astonishing.
The screen was completely filled with videos. Dozens were visible at a glance.
“There’s no end even as I scroll down?”
Behind hundreds of videos, hundreds more appeared. At least several hundred videos had been uploaded.
“They say he was a superhuman of Shu, and he really does have knowledge in various fields.”
[How to properly select people]
[How to hide weaknesses and maximize strengths]
[How to make wooden oxen and flowing horses]
[How to lead an army, Sleeping Dragon’s Eight Formation]
[The Three Kingdoms. How to divide a vast land into three parts and create three empires]
……
……
“This is amazing.”
Despite uploading hundreds of videos, the quality was maintained, and the number of likes on each video was impressive.
‘It’s quite consistent.’
In other words, subscribers who watched one video were likely to watch others. And after watching another video, they were likely to choose yet another. ＲÂℕǒ฿ЕṦ
‘The quality of the videos is consistent, and the abilities or information that can be gained from them are certain.’
“I’ve chosen well.”
Ethan continued to examine the videos. There were many videos with titles he wanted to click on, but that wasn’t what Ethan was looking for right now.
“Found it.”
After checking video titles for a while, Ethan found the one he wanted.
It was a video with an exceptionally high number of likes, even among Zhuge Liang’s videos which generally had high like counts.
[How to grasp and understand. How to see the world through Sleeping Dragon’s eyes.]
“This is it. The reason the algorithm recomnded it.”
Out of the hundreds of Zhuge Liang’s videos, this was the one Ethan needed.
“Judging by the low number of likes needed, this is probably the first video uploaded.”
-You have used likes!
The video began imdiately.
Zhuge Liang appeared, with a white feather fan, pure white clothing, and a sky-blue hat.
-Greetings, subscriber. I’m truly grateful that you chose among the many gods.
Zhuge Liang’s voice was low but powerful. It was a voice that inspired trust as you listened.
Though the video started similarly to other gods’, it didn’t feel boring at all.
‘The structure is very well done.’
Swoosh-
Zhuge Liang spread his feather fan wide as he paused to catch his breath during his explanation. The video that seed to have just started had already passed 10 minutes.
‘It flows like water.’
Zhuge Liang’s video was as impressive in quality as the edited videos Ethan made.
Ethan tended to include only the essential elents in his videos to avoid boredom, but Zhuge Liang just proceeded with his story naturally, making the entire video engaging.
‘An interesting approach.’
In New World, any thod that could make videos not boring was a huge advantage.
-This is the ability to grasp and understand. Whatever you see, you’ll be able to understand everything with your two eyes. The power to grasp the essence will dwell in your eyes.
-You have learned Sleeping Dragon’s Sight.
-Skill added: Sleeping Dragon’s Sight (S)
The na of the learned skill was Sleeping Dragon’s Sight.
‘It seems to be a similar type of power to the Eye of Horus.’
-This ability basically helps you understand things. But its effectiveness varies greatly depending on the user. It’s a skill that is greatly influenced by the user’s abilities. You can grasp and understand the essence of anything, but fully absorbing and utilizing it is up to the user.
Listening to Zhuge Liang’s explanation, it was indeed in the sa category as the Eye of Horus. The difference was that Eye of Horus was a goods item, while this was a skill.
-It won’t be easy to use. But if you master it properly, you’ll be able to understand and grasp anything you see. I see all things with this Sleeping Dragon’s Sight.
The ability to understand and grasp the essence of the subject.
At first glance, it seed like an abstract explanation, but to Ethan, who already had the Eye of Horus, it was a very clear explanation.
‘It ans I’ll be able to understand the phenona I see before .’
If the subject was swordsmanship, he would be able to understand that swordsmanship, and if it was magic, he would be able to understand that magic.
‘Perfect.’
This was exactly the skill Ethan wanted.
With this Sleeping Dragon’s Sight, he should be able to use it along with the abilities he already had.
“Then all that’s left is to combine this Sleeping Dragon’s Sight with the Eye of Horus and my existing knowledge to convince Regia.”
With this, he was prepared to face Regia.
“Regia won’t co looking for right away. He’s probably still uncertain.”
But it didn’t seem like he would give Ethan much ti.
Ethan imdiately turned off New World. Then he promptly drew his sword.
Shaaaak-
The Frost Sword, emitting pure white frost, responded to Ethan’s power.
“Physical Renewal learned from Han Myeong-ryeon, and Sleeping Dragon’s Sight learned from Zhuge Liang.”
It was ti to test these two.
***
“Teacher Ethan… oh.”
The first day ended with Eucalis’s class. Therefore, the evening was completely free ti. Ciron had suggested that the Ivecar social club gather to have dinner together.
Since it was a tense first day in many ways, after the al, he planned to guide them around various parts of the lord’s castle to help them relax.
During this training period, they couldn’t go outside the lord’s castle, so he thought it would be good to show them various things inside the castle and talk about teachers from other academies.
But Ethan was nowhere to be seen.
Ciron, who knew the lord’s castle best, was in the middle of looking for Ethan as a representative.
“…Oh my.”
Swoosh-!
The place where he found Ethan was the training ground. But Ciron couldn’t call out to him. He was imrsed in training with incredible concentration.
“He’s… training.”
This was Ethan, who had shown an overwhelming performance from the first day of class.
Eucalis had brought out nurous weapons from the start, but he probably didn’t think there would be anyone among the teachers present who could handle all those weapons.
Even the famous Kai Felix could only handle about half of them.
Ciron could handle about a third, but even that wasn’t at a level that could be called professional.
Only Ethan handled all weapons like an expert.
When he picked up a spear, he beca a spear master, and when he picked up a sword, he beca a sword master.
The sa was true for archery and whips.
Having shown such an overwhelming performance, Ethan was now dedicating himself to training even during break ti.
“Even though he’s at the forefront…”
The person at the very front was training alone. Despite having ti to rest, he was moving seriously with a sword in hand.
“Damn it.”
The new teacher training wasn’t just an event for learning.
It was also an event to encourage new teachers, tense with their shoulders hunched, to relax and interact with other academies.
That’s why Ciron had also relaxed a bit. He had planned to listen to the lectures of great teachers with concentration, and to rest no less during break tis.
“Foolishly… getting all excited for nothing.”
How could he be so lax in his mindset?
“I should at least not be ashad of myself.”
Stimulated, Ciron imdiately left to find another training ground.
Swoosh-!
Ethan, who had been swinging his sword, stopped and looked at Ciron’s retreating back.
It seed like he had misunderstood sothing, but Ethan didn’t bother to stop him.
‘I am actually training, after all.’
Ethan took a slow, deep breath.
“Physical Renewal.”
Physical Renewal learned from Han Myeong-ryeon and…
“Huuuh.”
He had to test whether he could grow his body even more than now using Immortal Hero’s Breathing.
If these two techniques could be harmonized, he could aim for growth incomparably more stable than now.
‘That’s how much stronger I’ll beco. Considering how the power of my swordsmanship changed just from receiving a tiny bit more mana from Lyuka, it’s certainly possible.’
Ethan took his stance.
Breathing and…
‘Concentrating.’
Suddenly, sothing like a hot mass ford inside his body and began to circulate.
This hot mass soon perated his entire body.
‘The perated power spreads throughout the body.’
But that power soon stopped at the center of his body.
Extinction.
Even the power of Physical Renewal was montarily blocked by that powerful curse.
But Ethan breathed calmly.
With the effect of Immortal Hero’s Breathing, the force of Extinction weakened for a mont, and Ethan didn’t miss the opportunity to attempt Physical Renewal once more.
“Urrrgh.”
For a mont, he felt trendous pain. If it had been before, he might have lost consciousness here, but the effect of awakening was remarkable.
‘Thanks to my body improving a bit due to awakening, I was able to endure!’
As a result, Physical Renewal began to show its effect.
-The proficiency of Physical Renewal has increased!
-Your body has been strengthened.
“It worked.”
Because his body had been so weak, the effect was felt more clearly.
“My body has improved.”
It’s not a dramatic change. Just a slight improvent. Even nurically, it would be very low.
But for Ethan right now, this physical enhancent could be seen as an imnsely great success.
“I’ve definitely taken a step forward.”
Of course, this alone wouldn’t be enough to completely escape from Extinction.
But it was very encouraging that he had moved forward a bit with this thod.
“Then.”
Ethan imdiately gripped his sword tightly.
“Let’s test how this slightly healthier body performs.”
“Kyung!”
Lyuka, summoned on Ethan’s shoulder, barked shortly. Then he looked at Ethan with round eyes.
“You feel it too, Lyuka.”
“Kyung!”
Sensing that Ethan had beco healthier than before, Lyuka barked once and began to gather mana.
“Ooh.”
A body made healthier through Physical Renewal and Immortal Hero’s Breathing.
As Lyuka’s mana entered that body, a feeling of elation began to spread.
‘More mana entered than before.’
Ethan Swordsmanship First Form
Frost Lightning
Swoosh-!
With a thunderous sound, Ethan Swordsmanship unfolded.
“…”
Ethan stared in shock at what he had created.
Training grounds are generally built to be very sturdy.
Especially the walls of this Ramsdale lord’s castle training ground were made of adamantine, boasting such hardness that they wouldn’t even get a scratch from any impact.
But those walls made of adamantine were completely shattered.
“This is crazy.”
He spoke calmly, but the power was so trendous that he couldn’t manage his expression well.
