Truly incredible Seol-Hwi couldnt hide his shock.

He could use this martial art with both handsbut that wasnt all. His entire body could be a weapon now.

<White Light Body Demonic Martial Arts> Imitation

Of course, he couldnt pull it off in his current state. Presumably hed need to be a little more proficient.

Still, there was something he could do: even at the imitation level, he could match the destructive power of swordsmanship. A martial art like this was higher than any expert-level martial art.

Would it even be stronger than the Four Peaks Demonic Martial Arts?

He couldnt raise the Four Peaks Demonic Martial Arts higher than imitation, anyways. Seol-Hwi wanted to raise this new martial art to the highest level.

Lets keep trying.

He put a few things in and out of the box, and managed something else.

<Flaring Heat Fist Demonic Martial Arts has been completed.>

He had combined the Fiery Bare-Handed Demonic Martial Arts and the Explosive Flaming Force. The power of flame energy had been increased, and it used less internal energy. Oddly, however, it had changed from a close-combat art to a fist art.

Hmm. What else? Seol-Hwi wasnt satisfied, so he kept trying new things; however, they didnt match up. He decided to settle for what he had now.

[Martial Arts] <Unified Light Demonic Martial Arts> Advanced <White Light Body Demonic Martial Arts> Imitation <Flaring Heat Fist Demonic Martial Arts> Imitation <Four Peaks Demonic Martial Arts>

The list had been cut to four; it made his desire to raise the level of the Four Peaks Demonic Martial Arts rise for turn-based combat.

There has to be something more A mysterious pop-up window, maybe.

Seol-Hwi was starting to question things. He went digging through the closet. He fumbled at the walls, too, and gave up. He searched up and down and couldnt find anything special.

Finally, he gazed out the window and saw the warm sunlight seeping in.

A new year.

Life is a mysterious thing. It gave him the chances at the crossroads of life and death, and gave him a path of light in the darkness.

<Please set a schedule for the 1st month of year 96 (5/36)> Learn martial arts Accept a mission Warrior training Walk around

Seol-Hwi chose martial arts.

<What would you like to learn?> Guided education <Beginner>

The other choices had disappeared, leaving this one. How many months would it take to learn?

<You will now receive the guidance of an instructor.>

His eyes sparkled.

The Guidance hall, a villa in the forest, was a space for educating and nurturing the members of the Hidden Truth squad. It was staffed by a head teacher and about thirty officers.

When the light stopped, Seol-Hwi found himself in a training hall. The person standing in the center, about three steps away, was Jeokpa.

I heard that the Earth Demon wanted to nurture you, but the members who come here are evaluated as innate talents and it takes them three years to finish the courseyou, it took four months. Truly amazing. Jeokpas expression was bright. Seol-Hwi couldnt feel a hint of killing intent or hostility, not even a trace of demonic energy pressure trying to taunt him; he was just like a kind old man.

He truly is a knowledgeable man. His green eyes were still just scary enough to keep Seol-Hwi on edge, but he actually felt quite comfortable around the old teacher. Jeokpa was beyond the craving for power.

And his skills?

[Status] Jeokpa Health: 6.6 million Internal Energy: 5.6 million Super Master Level Warrior Combat Power: 8.5 million

It was only natural for him to be this strong. The only strange thing was that his combat power was higher than his health and internal energy.

However, you wont be able to help the Earth Demon with that kind of ability.

What do you mean?

How powerful do you think the Heavenly Demons disciples are?

Seol-Hwi silently pondered the weighty question. He wanted to know why Jeokpa was asking, but he was even more interested in the answer. Seol-Hwi was certain that that knowledge would be essential for securing his life in the future.

These were the Heavenly Demons hand-picked disciplesthey had to be strong. The more he trained them, the better their chances of becoming the next leader of the sect.

Please tell me. I will remember it. Seol-Hwi bowed to show his sincerity.

The first disciple Jeokpa looked up at the ceiling. Around him, there are as many as threemaybe morepeak masters. The first disciple is an expert in Peak Demonic Martial Arts, so we can say there are four giants, including him.

Peak Demonic Seol-Hwi knew that those at that level were absolute.

The ultimate realm is Martial God. It was said that Mount Hua already had people who had exceeded that level.

The second disciple has two peak masters. One thing that cannot be ignored is the dozens of high-level warriors he has as well.

That meant the select few who had passed the wall. It was also a group of the most horrible and bloodthirsty people. No normal man would ever escape the natural realmonly monsters could reach above the Peak level.

The third disciple has two Peak Demonic Martial Artists on her side. There are others whose identities remain unknown, but there are definitely Masters with her, among others supporting her from behind the scenes.

The Earth Demon

Seol-Hwi frowned. Even if Jeokpa didnt say it, he knew.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Unfortunately, none.

Huh? Seol-Hwi thought hed misheard, but Jeokpa didnt seem to be lying.

The other disciples had two or threebut not the Earth Demon.

Honestly, those who hit Peak Demonic level

How many are there?

Seol-Hwi could once again feel the burning desire for power.

How is the Earth Demon still alive?

Rash, but he had to ask. Fortunately, Jeokpa didnt seem to mind.

Curiously it is also because of the fourth disciples power. Jeokpa made a face both concerned and worried. Do you know of the Heavenly Killing Star?

No way! Seol-Hwis voice trembled. The fourth disciple is the Heavenly Killing Star?

The Heavenly Killing Star was a child born under the star of heaven, once in a thousand years. It was also a name for a person with the skills to learn any kind of martial arts and the strength to rise to untold levels without any training.

It is said that once the Heavenly Killing Star learns martial arts, theyre unstoppable, like a human with wings.

But I heard they cannot live past sixteen.

The Heavenly Killing Star was usually mad with bloodthirst and would die early, but the Earth Demon was clearly alive.

This is why the Heavenly Demon chose him. Hes different from what we know.

The fatal flaw of the Heavenly Killing Star was their lifespan. They are strong, but by the time they turn sixteen, they burn away their internal energy and die.

And yet, the Earth Demon survived.

They wouldnt the fourth disciple be the likeliest candidate for sect leader?

No. Jeokpa shook his head. No matter how lucky he is, the Earth Demon dies the moment he uses all of his power.

There was no way to guess when that would be. At least he would be stronger than the others.

He is destined to die if he uses his own power.

Only then did Seol-Hwi understand what the symbol in the Earth Demons status meant.

The power of the Heavenly Killing Star was infinite.

Hes a monster

The Earth Demon had defied fate; it was no wonder that the other disciples didnt dare fight him.

Now you understand what I mean? Your skills are of no use to the Earth Demon.

I understand.

The Hidden Truth Squad was a trivial thing in comparison to the Earth Demon himself.

Why do his squads exist, then?

If his life was like a shooting star, then what compelled people to gather by his side?

Our goal is to disrupt information so that the other disciples gain nothing. The battle should only be between the disciples in a fair mannerone fight to decide it all.

He intended to eliminate all external factors which could influence the final battle. A strategy that was defiant in the face of guaranteed defeat; walking an honest path, even though destiny had been decided.

No disappointments. No one knows what life is like; in that sense, this should be fine. Jeokpa looked at Seol-Hwi. If you want to become captain, you cannot do it at your current levelbut with my training, you will rise to a higher level.

I will do anything! Seol-Hwi clenched his fists. This was no time to worry about his future; he just had to get stronger.

He needed power.

Good. Then lets start training.

Seol-Hwi bit his lip in excitement. A new levelwhat kind of training would he get?

Horizontal slash, vertical slash, diagonal slash. Ten thousand times a day.

Upward stab, forward stab, downward stab.

What? What was he saying?

He didnt seem to be messing around.

[Becoming a Peak Warrior, Day 1] <Slash> Horizontal Slash [1/10,000] Vertical Slash [0/10,000] Diagonal Slash [0/10,000] <Stab> Upward Stab [0/10,000] Forward Stab [0/10,000] Downward Stab [0/10,000]

An absurd training schedule.

Jeokpa spoke before he could say anything.

Start.

Absurd!
