-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[Purple Cloud God’s Work]
– A martial art of ascension that is not taught to anyone except the eldest and a few favorite disciples, as it is a method of internal energy of the Hwasan faction. It has extreme yang properties and creates a powerful heat.
As soon as Seun used the new internal energy method, he swallowed the fruit.
Ripe tree fruit. It was a kind of elixir obtained through the hidden quest called ‘Dry Tree’ in the third floor trial.
I thought it would be sweet since it was a elixir, but the strong sweetness started from my tongue and went down my throat.
– The mana absorption rate of ‘Shining Fruit’ increases significantly when using a specific training method.
The effects were immediate.
Mana flowed out through the fruit and overflowed.
Se-Woon took a calming breath and began to calmly organize the mana that was overflowing through his Ja-Ha-Gaeng.
Hwaruk-
Could it be because of the characteristics of the Jashashin Gong that it has extreme yang properties? It felt like the danjeon that was absorbing the internal energy was burning hot.
At first it was just warm, but as time passed the heat grew stronger.
I feel like my electricity might explode if I keep doing this.
‘Calm your yang energy with the secret of the three powers.’
Woof!
There was a reason why Se-Woon learned Samjae Gong first.
The Samjae attack was the one that even silenced the characteristics of the extremely violent and deep attack, and this time it is no different.
The energy that was burning like a flame calmed down under the power of Samjaegong, and bowed its head before the power of Pakguksimgong.
As this happened, Se-Woon’s body began to turn a light purple color.
It was a typical characteristic that occurred when one exerted one’s power.
‘Burn all the energy of the fruit and absorb it into your danjeon.’
The training method of Jahashin Gong was different from other training methods.
As such, Se-Woon, who was already accustomed to handling internal energy, had no choice but to concentrate.
Cold sweat poured down my body, and the heat from my danjeon spread out to the surroundings.
The moment when the energy flowing out of the fruit is quickly gathered and absorbed into the danjeon.
-I have accumulated one year of internal energy in my danjeon through Jahashin Gong.
– The effectiveness of all martial arts used increases according to the level of internal energy increased.
-The martial arts you use according to the principles of Jahashin Gong will be imbued with the energy of extreme yang.
-You have achieved amazing things.
-You have earned 100,000 points as a reward.
A system message appeared and the purple aura surrounding Seun disappeared.
A whopping one year of internal energy.
If you combine it with the internal energy of the gapja you have already accumulated, you can accumulate internal energy equivalent to this gapja.
I thought the amount of energy contained in the fruit was incredible, but I didn’t know it was this much.
‘This might be a little dangerous.’
Even if the Samjaegong supported him, it was not wise to build up his internal energy too much.
Right now, I’m barely maintaining my limit, but if the yang energy increases any more, my danjeon might explode.
‘I need to build up my yin energy for the next internal energy method.’
Accumulating both yang and yin at the same time is an act close to suicide.
However, for Seun, who had built a solid foundation with the three great works, this was actually a way to calm his yang energy.
Se-Woon, who was planning his next training method, raised his head and looked at the village.
‘This is more than just a small village.’
-The constellation, ‘Black Bird’, looks down with satisfaction at the completed residence.
-The constellation, ‘The Giant Bird’, is a little disappointed, saying that if he had more time, he could have built a much larger structure.
Thanks to the twin sisters’ amazing skills, the residence looked better than any other clan residence Seun had ever seen.
The land area is not that large yet as it has not yet reached the size of a guild, but as the clan grows, the area will naturally increase.
By then, you should have castle walls and defensive weapons ready to fight against other clans or guilds… … .
‘It’s still too early.’
Even if you go up to the next shelter, most of the clans don’t even have a place to live.
It was only later that large clans and guilds began to form and wage war for their own gain.
“Whew, today was hard too.”
“Seo-ah, I told you that during training, you are treated as if you were a different person.”
“Isn’t that all for our benefit? Let’s go wash up quickly.”
“Yeah! Really, these days, life feels more enjoyable thanks to the bathhouse.”
Those who said that it would be better to just live here without challenging any more trials were well-consoled by Yu Seo-ah, who appropriately quoted Se-un’s words.
Even people who were expected to be frustrated realized reality sooner than expected.
Thanks to that, everyone was now continuing to train in preparation for the next level.
Se-woon also used the bathhouse with them to wash away the cold sweat that flowed while building up his internal energy through Jaha Shin-gong.
As I got into the warm water, I felt like my body was melting away.
For this moment, Se-un was able to put aside all his worries, even if only for a moment.
* * *
Five days have passed since then.
People enjoyed plenty of rest and did not forget to train for the next ordeal.
After Go Chang-seok maintained his equipment, he used a new furnace to strengthen people’s equipment, and Lee Ha-neul made more medicine than before using the herbs he collected during the trials on the third floor.
And now.
“Is everyone ready?”
“of course!”
“With the equipment that the elders made, and the medicine that Sky Sheep made. Even if I try to fail, I can’t do it!”
The members of the Diablo clan were each wearing their own equipment and preparing for battle.
The break, whether long or short, is over.
Of course, after completing a themed ordeal, you could return to your residence, but as far as Se-woon could remember, floors 6 through 10 were all comprised of one theme.
So the next time you enter the residence, you must complete the trials up to the 10th floor.
That’s why I intentionally took a long break.
“Everyone, please just do as you are doing now!”
“go for it!”
“Let’s go!”
There was no need for a long speech like before.
As everyone was brimming with enthusiasm, the challenge to the next floor began with Yu Seo-ah’s short shout.
* * *
– Welcome to the 6th floor trials.
– Topic: Desert crossing
-Time limit: 30 hours
– Head west to the oasis to find your wandering companions.
-Currently a member of the ‘Diablo Clan’. Companions are randomly selected within the clan.
Just like before my regression, when I challenged the 6th floor, the surrounding terrain was completely different from the terrain up to the 5th floor.
desert.
All you can see are golden grains of sand.
Even if I widened my field of vision, all I could see was a long, curved horizon of desert.
The dry wind mixed with sand and struck my skin, and the warm sunlight beat down and heated the sand.
‘It was here that I realized the strength of my unique skills.’
A unique skill that Seun had before returning, a guide to the journey.
It was optimized for the ordeal of not only revealing hidden pieces, but also of moving forward somewhere like now.
Finding your way through the desert, where all sides are covered in the same sand, was harder than you might think.
Thanks to that, I had passed the 6th floor trials without much difficulty even before returning.
‘Let’s start by looking for a colleague.’
This ordeal was also a level where I was with my colleagues.
However, the difference from the 3rd floor is that you don’t start out together, but have to find your colleagues on your own.
Even so, as expected from a low-level ordeal, my colleague’s location was not far from here.
‘If it weren’t for Park Jeong-pil this time… … No, I guess it would be better if he gets caught.’
I used to hate noise, but now it’s different.
Park Jeong-pil needed to be given a proper ‘education’ before he caused trouble to others.
During the time he was staying at the residence, he was surprisingly good at avoiding Seun.
If I caught it now, I thought I could save time and focus on education.
‘It was that cactus.’
Seun walked towards the cactus on the hill on the right.
Originally, the easiest way would have been to scream to find his comrades, but Seun already knew their location through his memories from before his regression.
Even if a comrade was wandering around, it was easy to find him because the hill with the cactus was the highest point in the area.
– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, curls up in a hot place, saying it is disgusting.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’ begins to drool, anticipating what kind of food will be available here.
‘Should I put something in your mouth before that?’
For the sake of others, I had a fairly long break in this residence.
Naturally, during that time, no food could be provided to Beelzebub. The only targets that could use the power of gluttony were monsters that Seun had personally defeated.
Still, considering that he had been whining less than before, it seemed necessary to give him an award.
Woof!
Seun’s mana circle rotated tightly.
Use searching magic to spread mana widely around you, then search for traces of living things.
The desert is originally a harsh environment for plants and animals to live in, so it is very difficult to find living things, but this is no ordinary desert.
Like the trials we’ve experienced so far, this is a place teeming with monsters that have adapted to the desert.
Se-Woon, who was concentrating for a moment, felt something moving below him and put his hand on the sand.
– The power of ‘Ground Wave’ is strengthened according to the Black Tower’s magic.
Kookookookook!
A circular wave spread out from Seun’s palm.
It would be less powerful than using it on land made of dirt, but that didn’t matter.
The purpose of using Ground Wave was to summon monsters hidden in the sand.
Plop!
“Kuaaaa-!”
As the surrounding sands stirred due to Seun’s magic, a monster appeared like a fish jumping out of the desert waves.
Desert shark.
As its name suggests, it is a shark-shaped monster that lives in the desert.
It was a monster that moved and swam through the sand as if it were the sea, so it was quite a difficult monster to deal with… … .
-The first technique of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Claw, is strengthened through internal energy.
Sigh.
At the point where it had already emerged from the sand, it was no longer much of a threat to Seun.
Before the guy could even close his mouth, which boasted sharp teeth, he was cut down by Seun’s sword.
Perhaps because the seal had been released thanks to Mamon, the feel of the sword was much smoother than before.
– Preyed on the ‘Desert Shark’.
-Absorbs nutrients, increasing Agility by 2.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, begins to slowly savor the food that has appeared after a long time.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, takes a bite of the fin, then loses self-control and swallows the food in one gulp.
Seun put away his sword as he looked at Beelzebub, who looked satisfied.
For now, it’s enough to just give you a taste. As the trial progresses, monsters will appear in droves anyway, and naturally, the use of the power of gluttony will increase.
My feet sank deep into the soft sand, but as I used my inner strength, my steps became much lighter.
So, let’s climb the sand dune and arrive at the cactus.
“You’ve already made a killing.”
The image of the comrade who would go through this ordeal together with him caught Se-un’s eye.
fantasy,
