Chapter 62

Episode 62

‘My mind suddenly cleared up.’

I’ve heard and seen this expression before.

‘So the expression “mind suddenly clearing up” is really accurate, huh?’

Namgung Cheon-gang.

He’s currently experiencing just that.

‘I was definitely at the training hall with Master Mak Noya…’

Suddenly he lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes, what he saw was a pure white ceiling.

The smell of medicinal herbs also wafted in strongly.

‘This must be a medical clinic, right?’

With the scent of medicinal herbs and the white ceiling.

Anyone could tell this was definitely a medical clinic.

‘Since Master Mak Noya’s blacksmith’s forge is within the Namgung Family grounds… then this must be the Namgung Medical Center.’

Namgung Medical Center.

A medical clinic located within the Namgung Family grounds.

It’s better than most high-class medical clinics.

Since it’s operated with the tremendous financial power of a great martial family, it couldn’t help but be good.

‘You could say it’s like a family-exclusive university hospital.’

The person who brought him here?

Who else could it be.

It must have been his master.

‘It seems I was unconscious for quite a long time.’

Just looking at the night sky visible through the gap in the window next to the bed he was lying on, he could deduce the time.

Where’s Master?

Not here.

No sign of anyone around either.

“I’m monopolizing a single room all by myself.”

Wow.

A single-person medical room.

How long has it been since such luxury.

“University hospital single rooms are incredibly expensive.”

He threw out a joke.

‘Now the remaining question is why I lost consciousness.’

He thinks about the remaining problem.

The answer came quickly.

Of course, with a status window floating right before his eyes, how could he not know.

He had just postponed looking at it while surveying his surroundings.

The contents of the status window?

“Geez, what kind of mission are they trying to give me now.”

Of course, that’s not the main cause.

The message window he saw right before losing consciousness is the main thing.

Seeing the mission window reminded him.

It seems like he saw some incredible things…

“I should quickly call it up and check.”

Checking immediately,

Message windows appeared in a stream.

“Wow…”

There are quite a lot.

Among them, something called ‘suitable divine technique’ caught his eye the most.

He had heard that there are suitable people for movement techniques and divine techniques.

Isn’t that common knowledge in the Martial Arts World.

How could he not know.

Even if it wasn’t common knowledge, he knows.

Even in his previous life, there were skills that suited him.

Dealers had dealer-related ones.

Tanks had tank-related ones.

Crafters had crafting-related ones.

But this is the Martial Arts World.

There’s no such thing as skill books.

‘So I thought suitable martial arts, movement techniques, divine techniques, etc. would be unrelated to me.’

It was the same even after awakening.

Click, martial arts through resonance.

Though his life was threatened.

But that was indirect.

It wasn’t direct.

‘Even after learning two divine techniques, there was no backlash.’

But wait, huh?

Such a thing happened to him?

“A suitable divine technique. Is that why? I understand the incantations more clearly than other divine techniques.”

Just looking at the Myriad Artifacts Returning to the Origin Technique, what martial arts mediocrity.

Here’s someone with no talent.

He soon understood the reason for losing consciousness too.

‘I entered a state of selfless absorption.’

Is this an effect of the suitable divine technique?

Understanding it that way, he moved on and checked the latter part of the System Message.

As expected, it’s incredibly long.

Just reading it keeps his eyes busy.

Eventually he checked it all the way to the end.

At the same time, Namgung Cheon-gang’s lips naturally twitched.

Twitch, twitch.

“Keu!”

Like drinking soda.

“Right! I nearly died, so this much should be expected!”

Admiring.

“Uhehehehe!”

A foolish laugh also came out naturally.

It was that amazing.

Also, it was ecstatic.

It was also unbelievable.

The ability he gained.

The effect of the class change.

Looking at just these two things?

“This is almost like getting an EX-grade job!”

This alone is fantastic.

But there’s something even more fantastic.

Two more things no less!

“L-let me calm down my excitement first.”

Huu, huu.

Huff, huff.

“Good, now I’m calming down a bit. Then, now—”

Let’s look at the first amazing thing.

What could this mean?

From looking at it, I think I know what it is.

To know for sure?

I need to check the ‘Divine Arts’ section of my status window.

Let me check it quickly.

Only this exists.

The Cheonloe Jaewang Singong and Honyeon Byeokryeok Arts are gone!

“Uah—”

A scream that came out naturally from overwhelming joy.

I held it back momentarily.

‘Aaaaaaaah!’

Namgung Cheon-gang screamed internally.

This is a medical clinic.

I need to think about other patients too.

It’s a private room, but making noise carelessly would be troublesome.

Screaming refreshingly in my mind, tears even welled up a little.

It was understandable.

The two divine arts that Namgung Cheon-gang had learned.

What were the Cheonloe Jaewang Singong and Honyeon Byeokryeok Arts?

Weren’t they the divine arts of the Namgung Family and Hebei Peng Family, super-massive martial families in the Martial Arts World?

And they were exclusively for direct descendants under the Master’s direct control!

Even if you’re a direct descendant, if you learn them carelessly?

Severing of limbs and destruction of the dantian follow like ghosts.

Because of this, how much mental anguish I suffered.

‘Every time I saw the Master, my heart would drop and the stress was unbearable…’

One morning.

When I touched my head.

How shocked I was to see a handful of falling hair.

The cause of hair loss is stress.

‘Now it’s goodbye!’

I prevented hair loss.

I also prevented the severing of limbs and meridians.

A sound was about to come out naturally.

‘And there’s one more thing like this!’

A trait gained after changing class.

‘Breath Application.’

Anyone can see it’s the partner of ‘Breath Tempering.’

‘The ability of Metal Breath Tempering was to gain internal energy through refining.’

Does only internal energy increase?

As the description says, breath is also infused into the minerals being refined, improving their quality.

Naturally.

The steel that Namgung Cheon-gang handled.

It wasn’t ordinary steel.

But even this Metal Breath Tempering changed, didn’t it?

To Breath Tempering!

Even just metals were overpowered.

But now it’s ‘all things.’

I gain internal energy no matter what I create.

The versatility is beyond crazy, it’s completely insane.

The partner of this Breath Tempering.

What is the ability of Breath Application?

Precisely ‘the ability to apply breath to steel.’

It grants a portion of resonated abilities?

What this means.

Precisely, it means I can grant a portion of the martial arts that Namgung Cheon-gang has learned!

‘In other words! It’s enchanting!’

In what way?

For example,

Namgung Twelve Swords+1

Changgung Muae Sword Technique+1

Cooking+1

Like this!

Then what about internal energy techniques or divine arts?

They were stat additions.

Like strength, agility, stamina increases and such.

When I focused and thought about what Breath Application was, I understood it immediately.

‘Wow, skill, stat, enhancement, additional enchanting…’

This is crazy.

Really.

This ability is even better than the enchanting from my previous life.

Of course, it’s not without conditions.

They’re quite demanding.

Still, checking them one by one, they’re not that difficult.

Well, there should be restrictions like this.

Otherwise, any Tom, Dick, or Harry would learn divine arts and techniques.

The Martial Arts World would become chaos.

Restrictions for the peace of the Martial Arts World?

I acknowledge it.

“Keu!”

Still, the ability itself is refreshing!

“The compensation for the risk of limb severing is the best!”

Looking at it again, admiration upon admiration!

“Uhehehehe! Uhihihihi!”

Silly laughter just keeps coming out.

Namgung Cheon-gang lay face down and pounded the pillow.

He was too happy.

Therefore, he forgot.

The ‘mission’ he had seen when he first opened his eyes.

“Uhihihi, uhehehehe!”

Well, let’s let him enjoy his good mood for now.

* * *

“Oh! Look at my mind!”

Like a colt let loose.

Namgung Cheon-gang had been expressing his joy with his whole body.

Suddenly, he made an ‘oops’ expression.

And hurriedly prepared to leave.

‘Anyway, aside from losing consciousness, I’m not hurt anywhere, right?’

There’s no need to trouble the medical clinic.

And is this really the time to just lie around?

I’ve changed classes and gained new abilities too.

I should use them right away.

On whom?

‘Obviously starting with Master!’

Of course, treating Father first would be the priority.

But Namgung Cheon-gang’s father, Namgung Gang, isn’t currently in Dongling County.

Since I can’t do that right now, I should start with Master.

Moreover, doesn’t Mak Noya have that thing?

The first item and most recent work that Namgung Cheon-gang made exclusively for him!

‘It’s perfect for applying enchantments, isn’t it?’

Just as he was about to go out.

“Oh? You’re awake?”

The door to the private ward where Namgung Cheon-gang was staying opened, and Mak Noya entered.

“Ah, Master! I was just about to come see you!”

“Heh heh heh. Your voice sounds strong, so you must be fine.”

“Of course. I only lost consciousness for a bit. Besides, with Master here, there’s no way I’d get hurt.”

“You rascal, your words… heh heh. Yes, so you were looking for this master?”

Mak Noya’s voice was gentle.

‘Huh? He’s different from usual. Ah, right. Because I proved it.’

I proved something impossible.

Plus I learned the Myriad Artifacts Returning to the Origin Technique.

So now the single-successor sect can be properly continued.

He could become gentle from joy.

Right, right.

“Your energy seems stronger than before too… it’s like you’re wearing clothes that fit properly.”

“Exactly right! I feel like I could fly! Plus, I finally understand what Master said before.”

“What are you referring to?”

The divine technique of blacksmiths that can show lightning energy beyond fire in an instant, and divine strength beyond monstrous power for just a moment.

What Mak Noya had said to Namgung Cheon before to save Namgung Cheon-gang.

“It really turned out exactly as you said.”

When his disciple spoke of words left in the past.

The master’s face, filled with years, became filled with incomparable joy.

“Heh heh. You understood that in one go. Heh heh heh. You really are… heh heh. Heh heh heh!”

The joy became like his disciple from moments before.

A foolish laugh filled with years.

Then suddenly.

He remembered why he came here.

“Ah right, look at my mind.”

Hadn’t he come to restore his disciple’s energy after he lost consciousness?

And he brought a spiritual medicine too.

Not just any spiritual medicine.

A spiritual medicine that would increase internal energy by at least 30 years when absorbed.

A high-grade spiritual medicine that even the Namgung Family would drool over.

If sold, an ordinary family of four could live comfortably for decades without working.

Mak Noya was giving such a spiritual medicine to his disciple.

Since he had it originally anyway.

Furthermore, wasn’t he the true successor of Cheongeumjeong?

Even 100 such spiritual medicines wouldn’t be too precious.

“Here, I have something to give you. Since you seem to have come to your senses, let’s move somewhere else to talk.”

“Ah! I also have something to give Master!”

“Oh? Something for me?”

What more could there be?

I’ve already received everything I should.

“To be precise, it’s about working on Master’s Seongcheol Left Hand Mace a bit more.”

Ah.

What more is there to work on with this?

Even looking at it himself, the Seongcheol Left Hand Mace was nearly perfect.

Perhaps some finishing work remained?

‘That can’t be.’

It’s not like Mak Noya is illiterate about such things.

Mak Noya is one of the strongest and greatest blacksmiths in the current Martial Arts World.

So how could he misjudge an item?

‘But since it’s this guy.’

He’s a disciple who showed what heaven-sent talent means.

There must be something I didn’t see.

“Heh heh. Yes. How do you plan to work on this Seongcheol Left Hand Mace made for this master?”

So he asked gently.

Then his disciple answered confidently.

“You know that your disciple somehow learned Cheonloe Jaewang Singong, don’t you Master?”

“Of course, I know well.”

“I’m going to apply part of that ability to the Seongcheol Mace.”

“What? You’re going to apply the incantation?”

Has he gone mad?

“Come on, no way. Would I do something that would get me expelled from the Namgung Family and chased by assassination squads? I wouldn’t do such crazy things.”

“…Then?”

What is he planning to apply?

“I said I’d apply the ‘ability’ of Cheonloe Jaewang Singong, not the incantation of Cheonloe Jaewang Singong.”

“…Ability?”

“Yes. So, what I mean is. If we assume Cheonloe Jaewang Singong has the ability to increase strength, agility, and stamina. I’ll apply one of strength, agility, or stamina to Master’s Seongcheol Left Hand Mace.”

“…”

“In other words, I’ll make it not just a Seongcheol Left Hand Mace, but a Seongcheol Left Hand Mace that also increases strength, agility, and stamina. Ah, and if you need martial arts too, please let me know. I’ll help you advance your realm! Of course, with the Seongcheol Left Hand Technique. It’s an ability only I can do, Master! Hahahaha!”

“…”

His disciple’s solo performance, like jaywalking in front of an oncoming carriage without lifting a finger.

“…”

This little shit…

“This is all thanks to the Myriad Artifacts Returning to the Origin Technique, Master! Thank you!”

He really seems to have gone mad.

It seems like he learned some demonic art with a similar name instead of the Myriad Artifacts Returning to the Origin Technique.

Something like Demon God Returning to Origin Technique.

Or Demonic Energy Ghost God Technique.

“Long live the Myriad Artifacts Returning to the Origin Technique!”

Stop it, you little shit!
