Episode 58 New Sword Road (2)
< New Sword Path >
The time has come to walk a new path and head to a higher place. Open the door to the sword with your own choice.
Condition: Open the sword path by selecting a new sword attribute.
Quest acceptance benefit: During the quest period, the mastery and understanding of the selected swordsmanship attribute increases significantly.
Reward: 1000 point title.
‘It’s a quest to open a new sword road.’
-right. This means that you have learned all the basic sword techniques, so now you can move on.
‘It’s finally come.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
I thought it was strange that there was no change even though I opened all the basic sword skills, but now a new quest has appeared.
I read the contents of the quest again.
The content of opening the path to the attributes of your own choice was refreshing.
-The quest will be accepted only if you select one of the swordsmanship attributes.
‘It’s not easy to choose.’
-There are not just one or two attributes of swordsmanship, but there are many ways to incorporate those attributes, so it is natural that it is difficult to choose.
Baek Woo-jin could only unlock six of the many sword skills attributes.
It was a bit difficult to choose because there were still many sword skills left to learn.
-In order for you to reach 10,000 swords, you must ultimately be able to handle all the attributes of swordsmanship. Pick anything.
‘Still, there must be something that suits my current state.’
The attributes of the swordsmanship being used now are quick sword, strong sword, heavy sword, brain sword, straight sword, and empty sword.
There will be some attributes of swordsmanship that are easier to learn because they are linked to those attributes of swordsmanship.
-Then, it would be something like a modified sword, a fantastic sword, a Yugeom, a cut sword, and a big sword.
‘The alternating sword is change, the circular sword is creating an illusion with aura, and the Yu sword is a soft sword technique, and the absolute sword is cutting off the opponent’s sword skills, right?’
-right.
‘Are you saying that the flying sword is flying?’
-okay. In the future, when you reach the peak of Bigeom, you will be able to use Igigeeogeomsul, where you control the sword according to your will.
‘omg!’
Baek Woo-jin swallowed dry saliva.
Igigeo swordsmanship is one of the highest levels of swordsmanship in which one moves the sword according to one’s will.
I just thought I could use it once I reached a high level, but I had no idea that I needed to know about the secret sword.
-It is not something that can be achieved simply by learning the big sword. You need the highest level of swordsmanship attributes, so don’t drink kimchi soup first.
‘I know. ‘Can’t you imagine?’
Baek Woo-jin turned his head with a sullen expression and looked at the quest window.
‘Then a prosecutor’s office would be good. There is almost no swordsmanship that doesn’t involve changes.’
-The stool sword is not a bad first choice since you will be using it consistently.
‘Then I’ll choose change.’
[You have accepted the quest < The New Sword Path >.]
As soon as the selection was completed, the quest acceptance window appeared.
-The moment has finally arrived where only your effort is needed without any drawing.
An excited voice flowed from the darkness.
The current quest also provides benefits for accepting the quest, such as morale, but compared to the previous lottery, it is nothing new.
Seeing Baek Woo-jin’s hard work open for the first time in a long time made me feel so good.
‘Is it that good?’
Baek Woo-jin chuckled as he looked at the excited darkness.
Heukam’s goal was to make himself stronger, but he had a unique personality that did not like to become strong easily.
-Of course it’s good. You bastard of corruption. Just seeing you struggle makes me smile.
‘There is a clear reward, but I can tolerate as much trouble as I can.’
Baek Woo-jin laughed happily despite Darkness’s teasing.
In my previous life, I poured countless hours into swordsmanship even though there was no reward.
It’s so easy to put in effort when there are tangible rewards like now.
‘I need to just look at Hong Ara’s condition and start training right away.’
Baek Woo-jin headed towards Chilgeomgak at a leisurely pace.
-Hmm…
Seeing that, Darkness felt an uneasy feeling that he didn’t know what it was.
-It’s not like something happens and the quest is easily broken, right? no way?
**
The news that Baek Woo-jin won against Sung Si-hoon and the 36 members of the Ironclad Team quickly spread through various media.
-The group created by Zenon to be swordsman killers is the Ironclad, and it was completely destroyed at 1:37. After all, Shingeombaekga is a den of monsters.
-Did everything break at the age of 16? Take away the names of Sword Breaker and the Ironclad. Hahaha – no one survived because Zenon took pictures. Baek Woo-jin is different. different.
-Zenon is confirmed. LOL
People who were simply amazed by Baek Woo-jin’s skills were mesmerized for a while when they heard the new news that Baek Woo-jin was using spirits.
-Baek Woo-jin is a spiritist? Did you get shot in the head?
-that’s right. There is no way that Baek Woo-jin would be allowed to learn elemental arts unless Baek Cheon-hwa is crazy.
-It doesn’t even sound like a horse. Gura confirmed.
-Go home and talk nonsense.
At first, people could not believe the rumor that Baek Woo-jin was a spiritist.
However, the situation changed when interviews with people rescued by Baek Woo-jin began to appear on TV and in articles, and the association’s data was made public.
-Is this a true story? Wow, I’m really speechless.
-Intermediate spirit, fire and wind are advantageous in battle. How did you do it?
-I am a spiritist. That’s for sure. It’s impossible.
-That’s impossible because it’s you. That person is Baek Woo-jin.
-You’re 16 years old, a level 4 swordsman, and a mid-level spirit summoner? Oh, I’m so disappointed. What temperature is the water in the Han River?
-How does a person like that exist? The sky is a dog!
Everyone was shocked to hear the news that Baek Woo-jin was a spiritist.
As his awareness grew, stories about Baek Woo-jin were appearing everywhere, including in broadcast articles and online communities.
As Baek Woo-jin wished, his presence grew bigger and bigger in a different way from the Baek family.
**
While people were debating and discussing Baek Woo-jin, the main character was watching Hong A-ra’s swordsmanship in the training hall.
“good. “You trained hard.”
“thank you!”
Hong A-ra put her hands together and lowered her head.
-The development is definitely fast. I’ll be able to send it to actual combat soon.
‘okay.’
Perhaps because Moon Ju-young had taught her well, Hong A-ra’s swordsmanship had improved considerably.
I thought it would be okay to send him to a dungeon sometime soon.
“From now on, invest more time in Auror training. “Compared to the level of swordsmanship, the amount of aurors cannot keep up.”
“All right.”
“Let’s start now.”
“yes.”
Hong Ara bowed her head and entered the private practice room.
Baek Woo-jin instructed Hong A-ra to do Auror exercises and headed to Baekryongak.
Baekryongak was a kind of library that collected various types of books, from swordsmanship books to various professional books.
‘Isn’t it better to just practice rather than read a book?’
-No, your knowledge of swordsmanship is too limited.
Baek Woo-jin was on his way to Baekryongjeon to look at a swordsmanship book containing the attributes of change.
-You have to have various ingredients to choose from among them to get good results. It didn’t matter if it was just the basics, but in the future, the more you know, the better the sword will be.
‘Of course that’s right. However, none of the swordsmanship books in White Dragon Hall are of a high level.’
There is a separate place for advanced swordsmanship books.
In Baekryongjeon, there is only an intermediate level swordsmanship book.
-Does not matter. For you, who has finally learned the basics of swordsmanship, complex swordsmanship is actually poisonous. Because you are not going to learn swordsmanship, but to learn about swordsmanship. Basic and intermediate levels are sufficient.
The darkness moved in front of Baek Woo-jin and continued speaking.
– Rather than just reading a swordsmanship book, it will be more effective if you read it while thinking about change.
‘okay.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
There are many swordsmanship whose names are known, but there are very few swordsmanships whose contents are known.
As Heukam said, it would be a good idea to understand various sword techniques and then create your own.
‘But I’ve read a lot of swordsmanship books in the past, but I didn’t understand what they were saying. I guess it’s okay now, right?’
-Do you think I raised my five-star rating for no reason? As you go, you will find out for yourself.
‘Well, if you go and read it, you’ll understand.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded and entered Baekryongak.
“young master. Long time no see.”
The middle-aged man inside Baekryongak stood up and bowed his head to Baek Woo-jin.
Jang Deok-in is the only manager of Baekryongak.
His expression was flushed as if he was surprised.
“how are you?”
Baek Woo-jin slightly lowered his head.
“All I was doing was organizing the books, but of course it wasn’t much of a problem.”
Jang Deok-in pointed to the bookshelves and shrugged his shoulders.
“Then let’s go in.”
“As much as you want.”
Baek Woo-jin said hello to Jang Deok-in and walked to the left where the swordsmanship book was.
‘As expected.’
-what?
‘Before, I didn’t even know that that person was skilled in swordsmanship, but now I understand. Jang Deok-in is a master.’
-Did you feel that man’s power?
‘It’s not accurate because it’s too short, but I think it goes beyond grade 7.’
There are many swordsmanship books and martial arts books in Geomryonggak.
I thought it was strange that Jang Deok-in managed Geomryonggak alone, but as expected, Jang Deok-in was a high-level military officer.
‘There are other prosecutors hiding there too. ‘There are six people.’
Baek Woo-jin also sensed the presence of prosecutors protecting Baekryongak.
Baekryongak, which I thought was like a library, was Yongdamhohyeol.
-I guess I can’t ignore your level of sensitivity anymore.
There was surprise in the voice of darkness.
I knew that Baek Woo-jin had a high level of aura thanks to various talents and efforts, but I never thought that he would even feel the aura of a 7th grade swordsman with hidden powers.
Baek Woo-jin’s growth was surprising even when watching from the side.
‘How did they grow so much in this short moment?’
Jang Deok-in looked sideways at Baek Woo-jin and gave him a look of astonishment.
I had heard through rumors that Baek Woo-jin had become stronger, but seeing him in person was beyond my imagination.
I was so surprised that I released my aura for a moment without realizing it, but I felt like I even felt it.
‘Was there something going on?’
While Jang Deok-in was organizing the bookshelf, he couldn’t stop looking at Baek Woo-jin.
‘I don’t remember missing it.’
Baek Woo-jin recalled memories of his past life as he looked at the names of the swordsmen.
I read many swordsmanship books, but there was not a single swordsmanship book that I could digest properly.
The black ones were letters and the white ones were paper, so I had no idea what they were saying.
‘This book…’
Baek Woo-jin took out a book labeled Hwarak Swordsmanship Book.
-Is this a book you’ve read?
‘okay. I read it about 10 times in my previous life.’
I really wanted to learn it because it was a swordsmanship with rapid changes, but I remembered that even after reading it 10 times, I still couldn’t understand the contents of the swordsmanship book.
-Then read it. It will definitely be different from before.
‘okay.’
fluttering.
Baek Woo-jin turned the pages of the book.
[This swordsmanship book uses the basic changes in swordsmanship…]
Baek Woo-jin read the entire preface and then turned to the next chapter.
From here, text and pictures about real swordsmanship appear.
‘Uh…’
The writing and pictures written in the swordsmanship book were the same without any mistakes.
But there was something different.
It wasn’t the book that changed, but myself.
‘Huh…’
Baek Woo-jin realized right now what it meant to understand.
In my past life, the meaning of words that I didn’t know what they meant stuck in my head, and the pictures that I didn’t know why they were in that posture began to make sense.
The contents of the Hwarak swordsmanship book were alive and moving in Baek Woo-jin’s mind.
‘This is what geniuses see.’
In a past life, I overheard a conversation between my third older brother and my fourth older sister.
They said that you can get a grasp of swordsmanship to a certain extent just by looking at swordsmanship books, and the same was true for me now.
Thanks to the improved understanding of the five-star ability and the benefits of accepting quests, I was able to understand how changes were made just by reading the Hwarak swordsmanship book.
-That is the power of understanding. Until now, it didn’t matter because your swordsmanship wasn’t complicated, but from now on, your understanding will be very important.
‘Now I understand why you said you need to raise your five-star rating as well.’
-There is no need to learn everything about Hwarak Sword. Get only the changes you need.
‘okay.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded and concentrated his mind as he read the book.
In White Dragon, the only sound was the sound of him turning the pages.
**
‘That kind of concentration…’
Jang Deok-in felt goosebumps running down his spine when he saw Baek Woo-jin reading a book.
He was showing tremendous concentration, as if he were fighting a life-and-death battle against an enemy rather than a book.
His concentration was enough to make me understand how Baek Woo-jin became stronger so quickly.
fluttering.
When Baek Woo-jin realized that there were no more papers to turn, the light returned to Baek Woo-jin’s eyes.
“Haa….”
Baek Woo-jin let out a breath full of joy.
Even after he closed the book, he couldn’t get up from his seat for a while.
-How was it?
‘I’ll have to swing the sword to find out, but I think I can understand what the change is just a little bit. I have to try it right now.’
Baek Woo-jin put the book back and headed to the Chilgeomgak training hall.
All the lights were off, but I didn’t care and pulled out my sword.
Sigh!
Baek Woo-jin swung his sword while thinking about the changes he had seen in the swordsmanship book.
Because reading and swinging were different, Baek Woo-jin’s first sword was clumsy.
But it didn’t stop.
Receiving advice from darkness, I swung my sword, forgetting about time.
I tried to incorporate the changes in the Hwarak swordsmanship book that remained in my mind into my sword.
As the night passed and the sun rose and set again, Baek Woo-jin’s sword showed a colorful movement that was completely different from before.
Sigh!
Like splitting the setting sun into eight pieces, Baek Woo-jin’s sword contained the rapid changes contained in Hwarak’s swordsmanship book.
[Hyper-concentration is canceled.]
[The level of hyper-concentration has risen to level 2.]
A satisfied smile appeared on Baek Woo-jin’s lips.
Although it was thanks to the benefit of accepting the quest, he was able to incorporate the rapid changes in the Hwarak swordsmanship book into his sword in just one and a half days.
– This makes no sense!
The darkness completely froze when it saw Baek Woo-jin’s sword.
Baek Woo-jin learned the changes in the Hwarak swordsmanship three times faster than expected.
This time I couldn’t even call it luck because I achieved it on my own with great concentration.
-A monster…
