236:
The ultimate stage!
When Paltitan spoke, I had no idea. There was nothing known about skill levels that surpassed that of the Master.
However, after sparring with the old man and being attacked by the ‘extreme’, I realized that this was a level that must be reached.
‘I think the increase in ability when you reach the extreme level of mastery is greater than when you master the basics.’
Lessons are more valuable when they are learned through defeat.
Due to the blessing of the rune stone and the constant effect of heavenly cooking, vitality was fully restored.
The old man, sweating profusely as if it was the aftereffects of sparring, stuck out his tongue.
“This is how we won’t know who won.”
After thinking for a moment, X answered slyly.
“Of course you are an old man, aren’t you? The attack that reached its peak was truly amazing. Even though I knew it was a wooden sword, it gave me goosebumps!”
I will build intimacy and find out information about the play! It would be even better if you could learn it at all!
The old man smiled at the sincere flattery of X, who made a quick decision. Asus’ eyes narrowed as he watched the scene.
“Hmm, this could make our activities in the East Continent difficult.”
“huh? What are you talking about?”
“X didn’t seem to be able to properly deal with the blow from a little while ago or anything like that. Of course, there will be differences since it is a sparring match and not a real fight...”
Asus had never seen such an attack at the speed of light.
This includes all NPC player monsters. According to the legendary explorer’s intuition, there seemed to be something mysterious about the martial arts of the Eastern Continent.
Dallas nodded in agreement.
“It certainly won’t be easy if you clash with people like that. “I’m not underestimating the Explorer, but I think it would be difficult to take the time.”
Katharine was momentarily upset, but had nothing to say. Even though she was a combat class person, she could tell that the old man was extraordinary.
However, their faces were not that serious. Because there was a part of him that believed that to be the case.
Asus shook his head.
“If you have that kind of NPC-specific affinity, you can easily find out information about a drama or something. Anyway, the more I look at that iron-faced guy, the more amazing he gets?”
Before you know it, X is moving around as if the soles of his feet are on fire!
It seemed like they had found their next target, as they were offering the tired old man a half-finished drink and even a snack to replenish his energy.
Dallas added, agreeing.
“I don’t know about anyone else, but if you carelessly eat what X gives you, you’ll be in big trouble. “Whether you like it or not, you will have to pay the price.”

Tiroling!
[Cheolganghu is very happy with your gift!]
[Intimacy increases slightly!]
“Hemp from the West Region is such a precious thing...!”
“If the seaway is completely opened, I could give you a more valuable gift, but it’s a shame that this is all I have for now.”
“No. “I have received a truly precious gift from you.”
There is no one in this world who hates gifts!
Old Man Cheol-hoo was the elder of Cheol Jung-hwan’s family. In terms of relationship, he was Cheol Jung-hwan’s direct lineage as his uncle. Thanks to this, Cheol Jung-hwan was here with us. Cheol Jung-hwan looked disappointed.
“Hmm, you have something like this.”
The unspoken pressure of asking if you have anything to give!
It was Kang Cheol-hoo who broke off that pressure.
“Junghwan, don’t you know that if you receive a gift like this because you have the trust of the nation, it would be considered a bribe? Moreover, this is no ordinary gift. It contains the meaning and meaning exchanged between warriors who competed together....”
“I was short-thinking, uncle.”
Once Cheol-Hoo was on fire, he never stopped talking. At this rate, I can’t even get my money back. After thinking about this, Cheol Jung-hwan quickly left with a tired look on his face.
Cheolganghu muttered as his back disappeared.
“Was General Tsk’s position too much?”
X didn’t bother to answer and just watched quietly. I have just figured out the family circumstances of the prince and the Cheol family through this glance.
‘What’s really important is information about the play.’
What exactly is a play?
X felt that terrifying power firsthand. As long as I learned the play properly in addition to my current stats, I didn’t think there would be anything to worry about in the future, whether it was another being or a white mask.
Grrr.
The shadow of X is visible at a glance due to the rising sun.
X was swinging a wooden sword in the air on the roof. Second, it was not strange, considering X’s hard-working personality that he was disappointed.
What was really strange was the posture in which he was swinging the sword.
“What are you doing here? training? No, no matter what. “This is my first time seeing someone standing on one leg on the edge of a roof and swinging a sword?!”
Yes. X was on a journey from the early morning. To be exact, it wasn’t in the morning, but right after the conversation with Cheol-hoo.
Swish!
X gritted his teeth.
“one two!!”
If you can’t throw away distracting thoughts, create an environment where you have no choice but to throw away distracting thoughts!
That was the answer that Cheolganghoo gave. In fact, the trick that Kang Cheol-hoo taught X was even more damaging.
-I swung my sword while standing on my head at the edge of a cliff. Once I got used to the low cliffs, I devoted myself to training at the top of the mountain, the higher cliffs, and the more dangerous cliffs.
If you’re in a dangerous environment, you can focus on the act of swinging the sword or something?
Although he was not a quack or a third-rate warrior and the training method was questionable, X assumed he was being fooled and took action.
‘I can’t go far because I don’t know when the prince will arrive.’
I don’t have enough experience to stand on my head and swing a sword with my feet. So X came up with a compromise and was swinging a wooden sword with one leg from the edge of the roof.
Crash!
At first, I felt like I knew what it meant to throw away distracting thoughts and swing the sword dozens of times before falling with a loud noise. X opened his mouth softly.
“Just swing...!”
Stumbling!
I liked it or not, but because my body was shaking, I had no choice but to focus entirely on swinging the sword. It is truly an ignorant training method worthy of a heavenly warrior.
Still, X had the will.
“Yes, even if it’s unfair, I end up taking pictures.”
Did you say that considering time and understanding gains and losses, the ultimate cannot be reached? But X turned them into positive energy.
This is a strong will to make sure that the amount of time wasted is reached and that the money is earned.
As time passed, the sunset appeared in the sky.
Katharine stuck her tongue out.
“It’s really gross. Asus, you seem normal compared to X.”
“Are you saying it’s obvious now?”
“What happened last night that made you act like that?”
Even skipping meals.
Danwoo was watching X unfold his eccentric journey with worried eyes.
But for X, his idle thoughts disappeared a long time ago. Shuk X maintained his balance and swung his wooden sword.
“two...!”
When I gathered myself again and swung the wooden sword.
Tiroling!
An unexpected notification rang in my ear.
[Your will is focused on swinging accurately!]
[You lack the will to reach the extreme!]
“!”
It was the first time the system acknowledged the play’s existence.
X was able to realize that the ‘state of drama’ that seemed like a mere dream really existed. The lack of will begins to fill itself.
“Okay, keep going like this...”
But Suryeon had no choice but to stop for a moment after getting the hang of it.
Tap, tap, tap.
The sound of numerous horses’ hooves heard from afar. Soon a loud and deep voice follows.
“Your Majesty the Crown Prince!”
“...!”
Prince. X immediately recognized the unusual title.
The prince served by King Cheolgang and Cheol Jung-hwan was the prince who ranked first!
