Chapter 54

Episode 54. Learn elemental arts (3)

Pak!

Baek Woo-jin removed Jeong Geun-ho’s head from the ground and hit him on the back of the head, pretending to shake off the dirt.

-It’s as expected. I didn’t know I’d see the back of that guy’s head so soon.

Heukam looked down at Jeong Geun-ho, who shook his sword blade and closed his eyes.

“Hmm...”

Yoon Woo-min looked breathlessly at Baek Woo-jin, who was dusting off his clothes.

Because Baek Woo-jin’s Aura was at a considerable level, I expected Jeong Geun-ho to lose.

However, I had no idea that he would reverse summon the spirits with two sword moves and end Jeong Geun-ho with a single blow to the back of the head.

Baek Woo-jin had stronger weapons than he appeared on the outside.

‘I can’t believe it ends like this.’

I was hoping that Jeong Geun-ho’s loss would reduce his fierce competitive spirit, but the sparring ended so easily that it was absurd.

“Did the sword you used at first contain brain energy?”

“yes. It contains the properties of a brain sword.”

“It’s a word I haven’t heard in a long time.”

I had never seen a swordsman use a brain sword these days because it was difficult to handle, but it was refreshing to see a young guy like him use it.

There was nothing unusual about this guy.

“What is the walking method that catches up with Geunho?”

“It doesn’t have a name yet. “It is called the method of ignorance.”

“cotton?”

“Because we have not decided on the path the footing method will take yet, we are calling it the anonymous footwork method.”

“So is that what you’re making?”

“It’s not completely made by me, but it’s similar.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded.

It was darkness that gave the form of the footwork, but it was he who developed it.

The method of ignorance is a method of walking made together with darkness.

“hmm?”

Yoon Woo-min’s thoughts fell on the sword he had talked about earlier.

“Could it be that you made the sword of the Thunder Sword?”

“It is a sword technique developed from the basic sword technique of horizontal cutting.”

“Aren’t there many famous and powerful swordsmen in the Baek family? Why are you trying to create swordsmanship?”

“As I said at the beginning, I am the youngest member of the Shingeombaek family. I thought I couldn’t go up by just following my brothers behind. So I thought I should create my own sword technique.”

“What kind of guy...”

Yoon Woo-min’s eyes shook mercilessly.

I couldn’t help but be amazed by the fact that he was a swordsman who not only used footwork but also created his own sword method, and got goosebumps all over his body.

At Baek Woo-jin’s age, he was busy following others around.

I saw Baek Woo-jin completely again as he tried to walk up on his own.

“It seems like your walking method is focused on fastness now.”

“you’re right.”

“The path forward for the Bobeop is wide and diverse. Don’t just focus on one thing, but think of several possibilities. “You don’t need my footwork.”

“All right.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded.

-I was going to say something about teaching you how to walk, but that old man is also quite good at martial arts.

‘okay. Unlike Jeong Geun-ho, I won’t even see his shadow.’

Yoon Woo-min is also a person who is ranked among the absolute.

Compared to his abilities, Jeong Geun-ho is still only a seed.

“Let’s stop here for today.”

“yes.”

“His room is in the middle of the second floor, so I’ll throw him there.”

“All right.”

“I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Yoon Woo-min’s voice had become softer than before.

Baek Woo-jin realized that he was not just a golden spoon born with good talent from a good family.

“Rest.”

“Baek Woo-jin.”

Yoon Woo-min, who was about to go home, turned his head and looked at Baek Woo-jin.

“yes.”

“Let me tell you one thing.”

Yoon Woo-min thought that since Baek Woo-jin’s talent was so brilliant, he should make him aware so as not to ruin his talent.

“Summoning a spirit sometimes depends on luck.”

“If you say it’s luck...”

“For example, if your sensitivity is 20, there is a 90% chance of summoning a low-level spirit and a 10% chance of summoning a middle-level spirit. However, if you train hard and your sensitivity reaches 30, your chances of summoning a mid-level spirit are much higher.”

“Ah....”

“In other words, you must not rest on your talent and train hard to meet good spirits.”

“So summoning a spirit is a bit like drawing?”

“Yes?”

Yoon Woo-min tilted his head.

Baek Woo-jin was paying attention to the fact that spirit summoning was close to random rather than training hard.

The way of thinking was unique.

“That’s right. What I am trying to say is that if you train hard and build up a high level of sensitivity, your chances of summoning better spirits will increase. “I’m trying to tell you that effort is more important than luck. Are you listening to me correctly?”

“Oh, of course. “You have to work hard.”

Yoon Woo-min’s voice did not reach Baek Woo-jin’s ears at all.

Only one word lingered in my mind.

‘Let’s draw...’

-Oh no! A spirit draws!

**

Jeong Geun-ho was scared and took a step back, but Baek Woo-jin did nothing and directly handed him the chair.

“Thank you!”

Jeong Geun-ho bowed his head to Baek Woo-jin and ran to the other side.

-what? Are you not applying for sparring anymore?

‘What kind of scoundrel am I? Why would you touch someone who is afraid of me? Because it doesn’t bother me anymore. ‘Just stop worrying.’

-If you look at the way you draw, you look like a scoundrel.

‘The reason I fanned that guy was because he kept asking me to spar with him. I have no intention of wasting time needlessly.’

Baek Woo-jin no longer had time to play with Jeong Geun-ho.

50 days have passed, but the spirit has not yet been summoned.

It is true that progress is being made little by little, but I feel that there is still a long way to go.

‘It’s time for a challenge.’

-what?

Baek Woo-jin brought up the status window for the first time in a long time.

-Why is there a status window all of a sudden?

‘The old man said that. ‘Intelligence and mental power are important in shaping the spirit’s energy.’

-Then...

‘Okay. ‘I’m going to focus on five-star abilities.’

Baek Woo-jin used all 1,500 points to raise his five-star rating to 49.

As soon as I raised my intelligence, the shape of the spirit energy in front of me seemed to become more clear.

Slurp.

Baek Woo-jin closed the status window and drew his sword.

-What are you doing? Why the sword all of a sudden...

‘This is also the advice the old man gave me at first. He definitely said it’s better to do modeling in a familiar way.’

-Huh, so you’re going to do sculpting with swordsmanship?

‘okay. ‘To manipulate the spirit’s energy with swordsmanship.’

-I raised my voice, but why am I going crazy?

‘Once you try it, something will come out.’

[Rasadum’s auror characteristic level 2 ‘Flame Wing’ is activated.]

Baek Woo-jin turned on the Flame Wing and stabbed his sword towards the spirit’s energy.

It’s not just a stab.

The goal is to practice stabbing, incantation, and shaping the spirit energy at the same time.

-The more you go, the more distracted you become.

Baek Woo-jin ignored the mutterings of darkness and continued swinging his sword.

“Hmm...”

Yoon Woo-min was watching Baek Woo-jin swing his sword from afar.

A proud smile appeared on his lips.

It seemed like Baek Woo-jin had finally found a training method that suited him.

“It won’t be long until I see that guy’s spirit.”

**

20 days have passed since Baek Woo-jin trained with a sword.

The achievements made in those 20 days were much higher than those achieved in the previous 50 days.

-Even now, it’s absurd to think that that crazy training method was correct.

‘Actually, the old man gave me a hint from the beginning. To model something with something familiar.’

-You’re probably the only weirdo who notices that and wields a sword.

‘It doesn’t matter if you’re a weirdo now.’

Baek Woo-jin smiled and raised his sword.

I started to feel excited because I felt like I would achieve something today.

“Whew...”

Baek Woo-jin slowly caught his breath and stabbed his sword into the spirit’s energy.

I could feel the spirit’s energy fluctuating every time the sword moved.

Compared to before, he was able to handle the energy of spirits in a completely different way.

[Super concentration activates.]

Baek Woo-jin was completely immersed in the training even before 30 minutes had passed.

His extreme concentration on the skill blocked all distractions around him, allowing him to focus only on stabbing and shaping the spirit energy.

Ding!

When the training started before the sun rose and continued until the sun set, Baek Woo-jin heard a clear notification sound.

[The sword path was created through extreme training.]

[The first door of the Mangeoms, the door of Gwaegeom (快劍), has been opened.] [

The fifth door of the Mangeoms, the door of Jeonggeom (正劍), has been opened.] [The door of the Mangeoms (the fifth door of the Mangeoms) has been opened.

] The sixth door, the door of empty sword, has been opened.]

[A stabbing sword containing the power of pleasure and pure energy has been created.]

‘With a sword?’

-Why is Geomro here?
