Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 529
Episode 529
Hundred Soldiers’ Divine Eyes (4)
Huuuuung!
A strong spirit poured out from the red spear.
It was neither fast nor powerful. It’s just a simple blow, but it’s strangely difficult to approach.
It was a matter of survival.
The fierceness emanating from the blade of the spear and Hwang Seok-tae’s natural spirit combine to create an intangible wall that cannot be breached.
Martial arts was not all about being a herbivore. It was important to have the eye to use herbivores at the right time and in the right place, as well as the experience and sense to control speed and strength depending on the opponent.
But what was more important than that was the sincerity and spirit that allowed him to raise the power of his martial arts to the limit.
‘This is not it.’
Hwang Seok-tae sang the red song.
‘It’s not bad, but it’s not satisfactory either.’
At the level of Hwang Seok-tae, it was considered that he had already surpassed the limits of herbivory.
In addition, he had a lot of practical experience and had sufficient base to respond during battle. At that level, it can be said that it is a top-notch skill that can be used anywhere in the world.
However, in order to go beyond that, it was important to properly manage energy.
‘Just like Deputy Yeon back then.’
Hwang Seok-tae recalled that humiliating time.
In fact, it was humiliating at first, but I didn’t feel that humiliation after that.
The fierce battle between the super expert against as many as 1,000 people lasted for several days. You don’t know how surprised I was watching that exciting match.
Yeonhojeong was strong.
It was perfect in every way.
He was fast when he had to move quickly and strong when he had to push hard. When I had to take a heavy step, I was like Mount Tai, and when I had to get out lightly, I was like a feather.
Even while so many soldiers were attacking him, he amazingly exploited the weak points and stirred up the formation.
Hwang Seok-tae felt a deep sense of defeat.
At the same time, I had a feeling that I didn’t want to admit, but had no choice but to admit.
Yeonhojeong was the god of battle. When fighting an opponent, whether one-on-one or one-on-one, he knew exactly which martial arts and how to implement them.
I couldn’t understand at first. No matter how talented you are, there is a limit to your experience. It wasn’t an experience worth having at that age.
But as time passed, Hwang Seok-tae realized.
Yeon Ho-jeong had great experience, but above all, he knew how to bring the flow of the fight to his own.
And among the countless ways to attract that flow, the most impressive one was ‘living.’
‘It was a fight in a completely different realm. By trapping some of the approaching enemy, they slowed down their reaction, and destroyed the area that could be attacked most quickly, destroying the balance of the entire formation.’
It was amazing.
Living is a manifestation of mental power. If you manage your energy well at the level of a peak expert, you can freely control your life, but when your emotions become strong, it is difficult to suppress them.
Yeon Ho-jeong went a few steps further.
It fires deadly force only at the person it wants and the target it wants. No one feels alive except that person.
It was truly a delicacy beyond imagination. I have never heard of such delicate control of life.
‘I dare say that there is no one in the headquarters who is capable of such skills, except for the Vice Lord. It would be difficult to even imitate it.’
Life control with utmost delicacy.
Yeonhojeong’s Sangsangjeon (上丹田) will be spacious and rich, and will be filled with detailed divine energy like a net. If you don’t do that, you won’t be able to use such skills as naturally as breathing.
And that’s exactly it.
This was the reason why Hwang Seok-tae came out late at night and devoted himself to training alone.
‘Deputy Yeon freely controlled the outcome of the fight by freely controlling the target concentration range.’
Hwang Seok-tae’s eyes lit up.
‘Then what about me?’
If you have that ability, you will never die in any melee.
However, although Hwang Seok-tae was jealous of Yeon Ho-jeong’s abilities, he did not want to acquire the same abilities.
The ability he wanted to gain was to increase the destructive power of the martial arts themselves.
‘Being able to handle life to that degree means that the size and concentration of life that can be held is enormous.’
Slurp.
Hwang Seok-tae held out his spear.
The red spear blade caught in the moonlight gave off an eerie glow.
‘If only I could put that life into a single spear.’
If that happens, the enemy facing you will either fall due to tremendous expenditure of mental energy or show an unexpected loophole.
‘Maybe Deputy Yeon would deal with living that way too.’
It is a skillful life control that can control the flow of a fight. You will also be good at using it as a weapon and swinging it to destroy your opponent.
‘What do we do?’
Grumbling.
Cold sweat broke out on Hwang Seok-tae’s forehead.
‘How is that possible?’
I deliberately tried to live my life and tried to reduce it. I tried to focus on one place and also tried to spread it out in all directions.
However, meticulous operation like Yeonhojeong was impossible. On the contrary, excessive control of one’s life caused extreme exhaustion of mental energy, to the point of dizziness.
It was not a practice that just anyone could do. If you make a mistake, you could end up with a scratch on the upper level due to your rampage.
however.
‘Because it is such a dangerous practice, it is worth the effort.’
If you want to stay at this level, just continue the training you have been doing.
But Hwang Seok-tae wanted more than this. If so, you must put in enough effort to be able to play at a level higher than this.
That was life. In order for transcendental masters who have reached the extreme level to open the next gateway, they need training that ignores life and death.
‘Maybe he did too.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s confident face came to mind.
And that face suited him.
‘How many times you must have suffered death to get that look and that look in your eyes.’
Nowadays, people don’t look down on me because I’m young. No, it’s even greater because he’s young.
And he should be ashamed of himself. While that young guy was risking his life and working hard every day, he wasted the last hour of the day under the excuse that he was leading the unit.
Whoa!!
The true energy emitted from the tip of Hwang Seok-tae’s spear created a strong gust of wind.
The truth was full of courage. But living still remained ambiguous. When we try to control it delicately, it struggles to spread everywhere against our will.
Hwang Seok-tae endured. My head hurt and my whole body broke into a cold sweat, but I forgot about that.
‘Pointily.’
My legs were shaking. I couldn’t feel any sensation in my fingertips.
‘Toward a sharper point.’
Paaang!
Suddenly, a strong explosion occurred and a shock wave erupted from the tip of the spear.
“Damn it.”
Hwang Seok-tae gasped and retrieved the spear.
“Is today also a failure?”
If the life force had been properly controlled, the true energy would not have caused the explosion.
‘It doesn’t stop.’
Hwang Seok-tae did not give up.
I threw out my spear again and tried to control the deadly force coming from the tip of the spear.
It wasn’t easy. It was a series of failures.
As time passed, it seemed to get better, but at some point, it returned to its original state. In fact, there were times when it became more sloppy than before.
As time passed, dawn came.
“Gasp!”
Hwang Seok-tae, who was on the verge of exhaustion, touched the ground and gasped.
It was much more difficult than climbing a mountain carrying a rock. Physical pain can be tolerated, but mental pain is difficult to bear.
‘I want to sleep.’
I didn’t even feel like giving up. I just wanted to rest.
‘…damn.’
Hwang Seok-tae gritted his teeth and stood up.
It was only about half, but I had enough strength left and my muscles had enough strength. Still, it was a strange feeling that I couldn’t use my strength. This is because my mental strength has been depleted.
“Let’s not whine like this.”
Hwang Seok-tae, who took a deep breath, immediately put the spear on his shoulder and turned around. I had to eat breakfast and take care of my subordinates.
It was then.
‘…?!’
Hwang Seok-tae’s ears perked up.
I had just trained until my mental strength was exhausted, but as soon as I relaxed my concentration, my entire body’s senses became sharper.
That sensitive sense was telling me. Someone is fighting in the forest quite far from here.
‘It’s not an enemy. ‘The sound of footsteps is familiar.’
Probably Yeonhojeong and Paeyul.
‘no. Those two aren’t everything. There’s someone else.’
Hwang Seok-tae, who was standing still on the spot, turned and headed toward the place where the sound came from.
It’s a step toward a place he wouldn’t normally go. It was difficult to suppress my curiosity.
After a while.
Paaaaang!
There was a white soldier who wielded a single spear so smoothly.
And there was another all-rounder who showed amazing spear skills against the superhuman.
Hwang Seok-tae looked at the scene as if fascinated.
Makwon’s martial arts, in which he dodged a long spear with flowing, natural movements, but then closed the distance for an instant and launched a single spear, was truly at the level of art.
It seemed as if the sun could pierce through it. The short spear in his hand seemed like a huge arrow.
Flash!
The single spear that turned into a single flash of light could easily be described as a martial art that could penetrate the sun.
On the other hand.
Chiri ririn! Kiiing!
There was an incarnation of actual fighting who swung the long spear like the paw of a wild beast, disrupting the path of the short spear, and then approached with heavy footwork and fiercely stabbed the spear’s blade.
It was a scary spear technique.
No, that was a spear technique, but it wasn’t a spear technique either. No matter what weapon you hold, whether it is a spear, a sword, or an axe, you will show such power and ferocity.
An ecstatic light appeared on Hwang Seok-tae’s face.
‘That’s it.’
Surprisingly, his eyes were not on the three soldiers who were said to be the best in the world, but on a young man who was not even at his feet, but who was worthy of being called a hundred-year-old monster.
‘It’s a little different, but… I wanted to be like that martial artist.’
The principles of martial arts? duty? enlightenment?
You don’t need it all.
Like me, I want to use fierce, high-level attacks that don’t back down.
Martial arts that never give up before fighting, full of spirit and only moving forward, were his ideal.
Without realizing it, Hwang Seok-tae approached the world of competition step by step.
“Huh!”
Paeyul, who was watching Makwon using his herbal skills next to him, got up in surprise.
“Dangerous!”
Chiri ririn! bang!
The long spears and short spears clashed, creating a strong explosion.
Yeon Ho-jeong and Mak Won stepped back to create space. They also knew that Hwang Seok-tae was approaching and deliberately widened the distance.
Yeon Ho-jeong grumbled.
“Why would someone who knows so much do this? “If you interfere in the middle of a match…”
Yeon Ho-jeong was speechless. This is because Hwang Seok-tae’s eyes were hazy as he looked at himself.
“Hey, Iron Man.”
“How can that happen?”
“what?”
“I…”
Hwang Seok-tae stretched out his hand.
A strong desire rose from the outstretched hand as if trying to grasp something.
“I want that kind of power.”
Hwang Seok-tae speaks confidently as if possessed.
At the same time, his eyes widened.
Slurp!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was holding the fallen Hwang Seok-tae, frowned.
“What kind of training did this person do? “I’m completely exhausted.”
At that time, Makwon smiled and said.
“It seems I was deeply impressed by your martial arts skills.”
“Then this person still has a long way to go. “There is a peerless warrior in front of me, but what are you going to do because you look like an awkward person?”
“You underestimate yourself too much.”
“I’m serious.”
“Well, whatever.”
Makwon smiled and lifted Hwang Seok-tae’s spear.
“Don’t you think the number of people you can train with for a few days before returning to the Ink Dragon Club has increased?”
“We have to go as soon as possible.”
“If we’re going to go on another mission anyway, the growth of our allies will be helpful. Isn’t that right?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and looked down at Hwang Seok-tae as if he couldn’t stop him.
His eyes deepened.
