Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 121
121. Military Gong (1)
Between the master and the master.
Directly translated, it means the relationship between a teacher and a disciple….
Being someone’s disciple was something I never imagined.
It was worth it.
In the past, there was no one who would accept an incompetent Awakener like me as a disciple.
After I started climbing the tower, I didn’t really need a teacher.
Absorbing stats, absorbing skills, absorbing powers…
By using the characteristics of necromancy, you could get most of what you wanted, so it was natural.
After becoming aware of my talent through this 12th floor ordeal, I gained a good understanding of non-skill skills.
Because of that, it could be said that even in my entire life, I have never properly thought about the concept of a teacher.
But…
“…What will I learn from a relationship between a priest and a teacher?”
“You will learn a lot. First of all, I will learn about my martial arts…”
“I will learn. Can I call you Master from now on?”
“…”
I immediately responded to Baekhakgeomseon’s proposal and decided to become her disciple.
He would be like that too…
‘Baekhakgeomseon is a challenger who has climbed the 40th floor or higher.’
Currently, being able to learn from Baekhak Geomseon is a kind of luck.
There was no reason to reject a challenger who had climbed to the 40th floor or higher and would directly pass on the technique.
‘Even the swordplay that Namgunghyeok used right now is this powerful, but Baekhakgeomseon’s swordsmanship would be more useful.’
Even if you look at the power of Baekhak Geomseon, you can see how strong her skills were.
It was clear that it was an opportunity to learn the skills of the strong, so I didn’t hesitate too much.
It was an answer that could be said to be thoroughly calculated in my opinion, but…
The white crane inspection was an attitude that I did not know I would accept so quickly.
“Seongyun. It’s not like coercion. You may want to think about it some more…”
“I know. But I have no intention of refusing to learn.”
It was sincere.
It was even more so after reading the message sent by the god of battle in the 13th floor integration ordeal.
Growing stronger and stronger, growing to the point where even a god can’t treat me carelessly.
That was exactly the goal I was pursuing.
“…”
At that, Geomseon Baekhak looked worried for a moment, then nodded.
“…If that’s what Sungyoon meant, then I won’t reject it. Instead, don’t regret it later.”
Regret…
I asked a question when a word I hadn’t even thought of appeared.
“Are you going to treat me so harshly that you will regret it?”
In fact, if it was harsh enough to bring out the word regret, it was welcome for me.
This is because harshness can also raise skill proficiency and experience.
There is a lot to be gained through the process, but wouldn’t it be the best result if you can achieve results for skills other than skills as a result?
However, looking at Baekhak Geomseon’s reaction, it seemed that he had no intention of treating him that harshly.
“It’s not like that…”
“…?”
“…For Mu-in, most teachers are only once in a lifetime, so I told them not to regret it.”
“Ah…”
That’s right.
But even so, I didn’t think much of it.
‘Isn’t it rather good to be able to put it once in a lifetime if it’s a teacher?’
There will be no opportunity to take as a teacher a person who is as strong as Baekhakgeomseon and at the same time has character.
Most of the Murim people I experienced were arrogant and intolerant, and they had nothing to learn from them.
technology?
If you steal, you steal, but you can never formally learn about the Moorim people.
‘Which of the Murim people would I take as my teacher…’
If I were to choose a teacher, it would be more correct to choose it here.
That’s why I can’t regret it, so it didn’t touch me no matter what.
“It’s a long story, but to put it in a nutshell, it means that you won’t regret having made me your teacher.”
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. I have absolutely no regrets.”
Baekhak Geomseon’s face blushed slightly, as if he liked the answer he gave right away.
“I see…”
But that was only for a moment.
“Then, according to the procedure, I will formally introduce myself before Sungyoon raises the rite of worship.”
Soon, seriousness began to float on Baekhak Swordsman’s face, and her mouth opened.
“The 17th head of the Baek family sword family, and at the same time the best in the former era.”
As if the words contained power, the momentum was intense, but…
Above all, I was shocked by the introduction she made herself.
“That is the warrior named Baek Seol-hwa, who will be your teacher.”
…As it turned out, my manager was the number one person in Moorim of the previous generation.
***
Moorim First Person.
What that meant was simple.
It is said that he is the strongest among the strong without enemies in the Moorim dimension.
Of course, there was a modifier called precedent, but that didn’t matter.
‘The important thing is that the person who will become my teacher is that strong.’
As Baekhakgeomseon told me, I looked at her after completing the Gubaejirye.
Baekhak Swordsman’s mouth opened as if he was satisfied.
“It won’t be that long for Sungyoon to learn.”
“…?”
“Because Seong-yoon won’t have much to learn other than the first lesson.”
“What does that mean?”
“It’s simple. It means that even if Seongyun did not formally learn the Namgung family’s Changcheon sword type, it does not require training, as he can use it in real combat.”
“….”
Changcheon sword type (蒼天劍形).
It’s probably the official name of Namgung-hyuk’s
swordsmanship.
“Sungyun is a genius. It does not require repeated mastery through training and sparring. It is better to go into practice immediately after completing the basic theory and transmission of arcane martial arts.”
At that, I nodded, and soon the theory of Baekhak Geomseon continued.
“Martial arts are largely divided into mental and divine methods.”
Here is a summary of the short theory transfer:
Simbeop is a technique of refining and storing external magical energy inside the body, and the magical energy stored through the refining process is called internal energy.
Shinbeop is a method to deal with the body, and there are such things as Shinshinsul and Swordsmanship, which are largely related to the mobile stage.
All of these things are called martial arts, and even trivial explanations such as that there are martial arts that can only be used with the energy of a specific mental method….
While listening to quite a few explanations, I had my doubts.
‘Come to think of it, doesn’t blood cheonsimgong also belong to one of the simbeop…?’
The authority sponsored by the administrator of the defeated successor of the Blood Demon Cult was also similar to a kind of mental method.
It’s not a method of refining and storing external magic power in a place called Danjeon like normal simbeop, but…
When the power was activated, internal magic could be temporarily replaced with internal energy and used.
“I have a question…”
Instead of struggling in my heart, I immediately asked Baekhak Geomseon.
“Even if there is a method learned separately, is there any problem with the martial arts that you will learn as a disciple?”
As to whether the power of Blood Heaven Deep Gong, which replaces mana with internal energy, is okay.
“…what the hell did you just say?”
And in that instant, the two pupils of Baekhak Swordsman lost their vitality and were filled with emptiness.
The clear and pure pupil lost its light for the first time and embraced a heterogeneous atmosphere.
“I heard you are learning the simbeop… Please tell me in more detail. Quickly.”
At her urging, I slowly nodded and opened my mouth.
“I didn’t know until now, but I think I’m learning something similar to Simbeop.”
Actually, thinking about it, I don’t think it would be a problem because it’s different from the normal method, but…
I don’t know exactly about martial arts, so I decided it was better to ask Baekhak Geomseon.
“Similar…? Could it be that she came to the Iron Blood Lord to learn qigong…?”
Oh, it’s seniority.
‘Is it the same concept as the mental method in another world?’
These are concepts that have never been heard or seen in the Earth dimension…
Apparently, the purification and storage of external magic seems to be common in a fairly different world.
‘Haha, in a world without systems or unique characteristics, there would be no concept of increasing one’s magical power.’
Rather, I wondered if the earth dimension was less developed than other dimensions.
But that sentiment did not last long.
It was because Baekhakgeomseon still kept his eyes that had lost light and urged me to answer.
“I learned it? Aura seniority? to that woman?”
“No, that’s…”
“It can’t be.”
“…yes?”
Just as he was about to give an answer, Baekhak Geomseon muttered in a whisper.
“I can’t even feel her reverberation, and no matter how much I do, I’m not the kind of woman who would break this promise…” “
…?”
“I can’t believe it. I need to check properly.”
“Confirmation, what else is that…”
Before I finished my words, Baekhak Geomseon approached me closer.
Then, I realized that the hand of the Baekhak Geomseon, who had moved secretly, touched my lower abdomen.
Even that did not touch the outer garment, but to the skin inside the outer garment.
An alarm bell went off as his small, cool hands touched the skin underneath his clothes.
‘Sometimes like this…?’
It was right in front of me, but I didn’t notice it until just before our hands touched.
If this had been the enemy’s hand, it would have been quite dangerous.
‘…I’ll have to ask if I can learn this one time later.’
If this is a skill that is not a skill, I will surely be able to learn it.
With that thought in mind, I immediately tried to pull myself back, but I couldn’t.
It’s because Baekhak Swordsman’s other hand grabbed my waist and blocked my retreat.
I tried to open my mouth to ask him what kind of confirmation this was, but…
“Shh… be quiet for a moment.”
At the words of Baekhak Geomseon that followed, even that had to be postponed.
“….”
I quietly looked at Baekhakgeomseon, who was concentrating with his back slightly bent.
Cloves, whose origin is difficult to determine, gently brushed my nose and stimulated my sense of smell.
As I stood there with my mind blank for a while, Baekhak Swordsman soon removed his hand from me.
The hand that went under the clothes escaped, and soon the Baekhak Swordsman spoke the result of the confirmation.
“Apart from pure magical power, there are no traces of learning any other simbeop…?”
Baekhak Geomseon’s expression became strange, like a doctor who seemed to have seen a feigned illness.
***
“It seems like some kind of unpleasant fraud is floating around without knowing why… but other than that, I couldn’t feel anything.”
As a result of the diagnosis, it seemed to be okay if the energy, such as the remnants of the blood clot, was removed.
It seems that blood cheonsimgong is not treated as a formal simbeop because it does not purify external magical power like the concept of general simbeop.
“thank god.”
To him, I immediately started explaining about the blood drill.
It’s one of the powers sponsored by the three administrators on the 12th floor….
When activated, Blood Heaven’s Spirit Gong is said to be able to replace some magical power with internal energy.
Hearing those words, Baekhakgeomseon finally regained vitality in his eyes and smiled a little.
“It’s not the mental law, it’s authority. Of course, the mental method learned in life is in the form of power, but it cannot be regarded as the mental method.”
“okay.”
“I was surprised and rudely checked. I’m sorry about that. I heard that I learned the simbeop separately, so I got emotional for a while…”
“It’s okay.”
It was worth it.
She would have been quite surprised if the martial arts that could be used were different depending on the simbeop.
I accepted him as a disciple at best, but the skills I can pass on are limited.
As soon as I understood that, Baekhakgeomseon spoke quietly as if muttering.
“But I don’t like it…”
“…?”
“To think that a mongrel of the Blood Religion would support such a lowly mental method with authority…” “
….”
“Ah, of course, I’m not saying that Seong-yoon is bad. The author who gave me this without knowing the subject is rude.”
In response, I slightly modified the evaluation of the personality of Baekhak Geomseon.
‘It’s true that he’s a person, but a Murim man is a Murim man…’
Even though he’s the same manager, he showed hostility, saying that he was a blood bridge.
There was a high probability that she, too, had a merciless disposition towards enemies.
Of course, that wasn’t the part that would be a problem, so I opened my mouth while looking at her.
“Then you’re saying that this isn’t a real Simbeop, so it doesn’t matter?”
“That’s true, but if you have something like this, it might be better not to learn the Simbeop.”
“…?”
“Seongyun can build magic power without learning the Simbeop, and if he learns the Simbeop with authority, he can use various Simbeop interchangeably.”
“That’s true, but is that okay?”
“Ah, when it comes to martial arts, my martial arts aren’t too restricted by mental methods, so it’s okay. However, just now, the Simbeop is an important part of the relationship between the teacher and the teacher…”
“Is that so?”
It would certainly be better if I could alternately use the simbeop every time through magic.
He also said that Baekhak Geomseon’s martial arts was okay because it was not affected by the temperament of Nae Gong.
As soon as I understood that, I changed the topic to see if the atmosphere of the Baekhak inspection was uncomfortable.
“…hmmm! First of all, I will teach you the swordsmanship, so just watch it and follow it.”
When I thought I was finally going to get to the main topic, I immediately came to my senses.
“All right.”
I held my posture and watched the swordplay being demonstrated by Baekhak Geomseon.
「The skill ‘Focus on Combat’ is activated.」
「The user’s concentration increases by 4 times.」
Concentrating while using the skill Concentrate on Combat…
Before I knew it, I saw the sword in Baekhak Swordsman’s hand move quickly. could
Even in this accelerated cognitive world, it was a fast swordsman, so if you just looked at it, you wouldn’t have been able to observe it.
‘Even to show it to me, so the speed must have slowed down to this extent.’
At that, I salivated in my heart and admired Baekhak Geomseon’s skill.
But admiration was admiration, and I immediately emptied my thoughts and focused again.
In the considerably accelerated cognitive world, I contemplated her swordsmanship as if imprinting it on my mind.
and.
“…Now it’s the first grass-eating Baekgeomseomhae (白劍閃式) of my sword technique, the Seven Shikchi of the White Sword.”
White Sword Island Sea.
The demonstration of herbivory, which means that a white sword cuts through the sea as fast as light, is over.
“I couldn’t have seen it properly… I’m sorry. Because this is the minimum required speed of Baekgeomseomhae…”
Baekhakgeomseon seemed very apologetic to me, but contrary to her concerns, I saw the sword properly.
“It’s okay. I think I can copy at this level.”
Then, after slightly increasing the distance from the White Crane Swordsman, I recalled the sword technique imprinted in my head.
The herbivore with the momentum to cut everything in its path as if to dominate the space itself… It
was a fast and powerful swordsman, just like the herbivore’s name, Baekgeomseomhae.
‘It feels like I’m pulling and cutting so that I can’t avoid the space itself…’
Maybe it was a herbivore with a feeling of working together with gravity.
I thought about it for a moment, then reached down with the sword in my hand.
‘Do I have to do this?’
I reproduced the sword path of Baekhak Geomseon in the same form as possible by following my senses as it is.
It’s not actually a sword that contains intentions, but if you put intentions into it, the sword embodies the nature to some extent.
In a cognitive world accelerated by combat concentration, I reproduced the White Geom Island Sea as perfectly as possible.
「The skill ‘Focus on Combat’ is deactivated.」
Next, after deactivating the Skill for Concentrate on Combat, I turned my head and looked at the White Crane Swordsman.
“Is it right to do this?”
It was a question about whether the herbivore I just unfolded was close to the correct answer.
and.
“…”
The answer to that was replaced by Baekhakgeomseon’s gaze, which was staring at me as if in amazement.
“Nonsense…”
was the correct answer.
