‘Mimicry’ and new skills Understanding martial arts and martial arts and what I can do with them….’
While all kinds of thoughts were cluttering my mind, I was in the training hall. In the middle, Hugo slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Several months have already passed since he stayed in the Kanghwan world alone.
And during that short period of time, there were significant changes in his condition as he continued to take the ?Elixir of Growth? and continued training with the help of ?Super Recovery?.
?Individual Information?
-Individual name: Hugo
-Common characteristics: ?Mind Herb?, ?Persona?, ?Super Recovery?, ?Brightness Index?, ?Supernatural Strength?, ?Nervous?, ?Visual Eyes?, ?Xenoglossy?, ?Water Breathing?, ?Subspace Storage? ? ?Limit Breakthrough? ?Imitation?
-Individual Characteristics: ?Versatility? ?Strength? ?Fortunate Energy? ?Qigong Martial Arts? ?Introduction to Basic Medicine?
-Special Features: To be able to more skillfully handle the energy accumulated in the body. It has been done. Through constant external training, “strong” evolved into “strong”. When practicing internal energy, growth is further accelerated due to the influence of “lucky energy.” Due to the influence of the ‘leap of growth’, additional growth corrections are being applied to all actions.
The person he is now was not a beginner who entered the Kangwhan world with only one skill.
The combination of all kinds of corrections, including the elixir effect, and “versatility” that helps you quickly master anything to a certain level.
It was enough synergy to grow him into a great martial artist in just a few months.
‘It seems that practicing medicine in parallel was the best move. At first, I started learning it because I thought it might be helpful in analyzing how martial arts work.’
From the beginning, martial arts and the body were inseparable, so it was not an unusual choice.
Then, developing a skill called “Introduction to Basic Medicine” was an achievement that exceeded my expectations.
‘It was a pleasant misjudgment.’
Perhaps the level of medical care provided by Zhuge Shiga, the anatomical knowledge of the Immortal King Hans, and Harley’s understanding of living things also had a significant influence.
As a result, I gained a clearer understanding of the physical changes that occur when my opponent uses martial arts, and this alone allowed me to gain significant benefits when using “Imitate.”
‘…No, actually, that’s not the most decisive factor in using that skill.’
Hugo, who had been thinking about that, burst into laughter without realizing it.
Yes, the most important thing remained.
In fact, isn’t there his biggest strength and secret?
‘The fact that I am not alone at any time and at any moment.’
Originally, it was much easier to understand and analyze something when there were many and looking down from above rather than when there was only one.
However, the fact that there are as many as five transcendental beings whose minds can connect and communicate in real time…
Also, there is Heinrich, who has martial arts skills such as “Way of Martial Arts” and “Rogia Seongfighting Technique”. )”, the fact that it includes combatants such as Harley, who not only masters the physical body but also instinctively identifies prey—.
In other words, it could be said to be no different from taking university professors to take middle and high school exams.
Even if the major subjects are slightly different.
‘Besides, Hubert’s “analysis” will also be helpful, albeit indirectly.’
Hugo recalled the merchant avatar who had been a great help in acquiring martial arts, and nodded slowly.
Of course, his case was different from the high elf Harris, who had already reached transcendence.
Unlike Harris, who was able to learn new skills from the beginning, he had to focus on basic skills that did not perform well in order to solidify the basics.
However, considering the future, this was also a process that had to be taken.
No matter how fast he grows, he cannot ignore all the necessary procedures.
‘Among the martial arts books I have in hand right now, there isn’t anything I’m particularly excited about. … I think that in order to use “imitation” properly, the main focus should be on inner gongsim, which emphasizes stability and acceptability rather than a strong specific tendency. ‘Isn’t there anything good?’
He even read some martial arts books through the Zhuge family, but there was no way he could readily give them to a customer’s request.
Maybe Sega’s Vigo had some secrets that could satisfy him, but those things weren’t something he could easily access as a customer.
“Hmm.”
As I was thinking so much, bad thoughts naturally began to creep in.
‘…Should we just force him to commit it?’
It wasn’t that there was no way at all.
In such a confusing world, it was not strange no matter what happened.
For example, an unidentified Demonic Cult expert brimming with demonic energy leads a large number of Jiangshi to attack.
Otherwise, the probability that the head of a vicious blood cult will secretly sneak into Sega and rob Viggo is absolutely zero!
Such bad thoughts were swirling around in his head, tempting him.
‘Tsk, let’s wait a little longer. ‘Because it’s not urgent right now.’
In the end, his decision was to hold off for now.
‘If you touch me wrongly and the power that I have built up goodwill is ruined, it will be a loss. Staying here will make me uncomfortable, and if I’m really going to cause trouble, it would be better to go somewhere else.’
There were many candidates anyway.
There was a Shaman sect right nearby, and if you went a little further away, wasn’t there a Shaolin temple or a Namgung family of the Hwasan sect?
‘…I should think of a scenario in advance.’
After being lost in thought like that, Hugo roughly gathered his thoughts and unconsciously grabbed the handle of his sword.
Then
, a powerful force was conveyed from the muscles bulging with “super strength” and overwhelming status.
It couldn’t even be compared to real monsters like Harley or Heinrich, but at this level, it could be recognized as an outsider anywhere.
The corners of his mouth turned upward little by little as the satisfaction welled up deep in his heart.
“Oh, now that I think about it, the time has already passed.”
Meanwhile, he suddenly came to his senses, checked the location of the shadow, hurriedly collected his training sword, and took a step forward.
As Shinshi (3-5 p.m.) was slowly approaching, I had to quickly wash off my sweat and get ready if I wanted to make it to my appointment time.
‘If I’m late again, I don’t know what I’ll hear.’
Hugo cleans up the messy training ground and heads to his assigned lodging along the now familiar path.
After completing his preparations, his next destination was, of course, a place he had frequently visited over the past few months.
***
Paaaa—
The soft energy that brightened the room slowly faded away.
A girl who was sitting on a chair in the middle with her eyes closed slowly opened them and smiled brightly.
“Are you finished? Thank you for your hard work, Confucius. Thank you again today.”
A clear voice flows along with it.
After that, the girl… no, Zhuge Hye-mi, the golden jade girl of Zhuge Sega, began chattering lively in a voice that did not feel the slightest bit of darkness.
“Oh, would you like to try some of this first? This is a new snack from the kitchen. It’s both savory and delicious. Of course, if you like the last one more than this one, please let me know at any time… Ah! You’ve already finished your tea. “I’ll pour you something to drink first.”
Hugo just nodded, awkwardly raising the corners of his mouth as the chatter poured out without stopping as usual.
Now I’m used to this place and the current situation, but I don’t think I’ll ever get used to that chatter.
And now there was something else I had to think about.
‘It’s strange too. It was the same last time I visited and it is the same today. Lately, there doesn’t seem to be much improvement even right after treatment.’
The place where they were now was the reception room set up in Zhuge Hyemi’s residence.
The space has been used as a replacement for a treatment room ever since she was able to move around on her own after several treatments.
In addition, the treatment was initially conducted every day, but as her symptoms improved, the intervals gradually increased, and now it was almost like a regular checkup once a week.
Of course, that was possible because she was healthy enough to move around the mansion as she pleased, but—.
‘Is this really the limit to what can be treated with divine power?’
Hugo, who had been Zhuge Huomi’s personal doctor for the past few months, could not help but feel uneasy at her condition, which had remained ‘almost’ cured rather than completely cured.
In addition, he was well-versed in medicine, having mastered “Introduction to Basic Medicine.”
However, the fact that he has not yet been able to understand the cause of the abnormality… At
the moment when he was thinking like that, Heinrich, who had grown to a higher level by obtaining the “Great Blessing: Wings of Radiance”, came up with a new hypothesis.
‘…No, it feels different as expected. This isn’t a disease… It seems like a problem related to the theology of this world? Of course, it would be best for Heinrich to see it in person.’
The incident of stealing the dragon heart of Beoncheonhoeju that occurred 22 years ago in Kang Hwan-gye time.
She was born at a time when the world was just beginning to become chaotic.
He also lost his mother not long after he was born.
Because of that, how much did she blame herself, saying that she was a cursed child?
‘But I can’t call Heinrich inside this house. If you’re not careful, you’ll only end up creating misunderstandings.’
There was no way Zhuge Emperor could not have noticed this person who suddenly appeared in the safe area of the main base.
And you will quickly realize that the energy he carries is the same as that used by Ha Seung-hoon, who was with him as a guest until now, to heal Jegal Hye-mi.
It was impossible to predict how the relationship between them would deteriorate after that.
‘Because the people of Zhuge Dynasty seem to have a particularly strong obsession with the formation method and the safe area established by it.’
Well, they probably had no choice since they didn’t have any masters of Hwagyeong, let alone Hyeongyeong.
It must have been thanks to this that he was able to maintain his current prestige and keep other forces in check in this situation.
Therefore, they had no choice but to focus on protecting and defending something, which turned out to be an obsession with territory.
If the security was breached and the area was lost, there was a high possibility that it would never be recovered.
‘How should I create opportunities?’
That was when Hugo was momentarily in conflict.
Zhuge Hye-mi, who continued to chatter despite his dull response, brought up another topic.
This time, there is new information that even he might be interested in.
“ah! Confucius Have you ever heard of it? “This time, an invitation came from Shaolin Temple in Hanam.”
“…You mean the invitation? “In such a chaotic time?”
“Yes, this has been happening every few years. “The idea is to have a place where not only us but also those who were major members of the Murim Alliance can gather and talk.”
“I heard that the Murim Alliance has already disbanded a long time ago…”
“Because interaction between each other is absolutely necessary. Even more so in this situation.”
In fact, it was not unusual for people who had known each other for a long time to come together and create at least a barrier, no matter how long ago they had gone on to separate ways of living.
Even if it wasn’t, it was a yard full of enemies.
“In fact, you can think of it as slightly increasing the scale of exchanges between neighboring forces, such as our Segar and Shaman factions. “There’s nothing particularly binding, and it just feels like we’ll see each other once in a while… right?”
Zhuge Hyemi, who was excitedly unpacking her bundle of stories, shrugged her shoulders.
It was definitely not a sentiment that suited her, who had lived her entire life in this Sega and whose only acquaintances were people who lived in this Sega.
‘I said that the entire continent is in chaos, but is largely divided into three categories. Is it a place of friendship to maintain that fence?’
There are those who have already occupied the dragon veins and are sitting there, those who are trying to take them away at any cost, the factions that are trying to increase their power by acquiring more dragon veins, and the forces that are desperate not to lose what they have.
Although they could be divided into political factions, Safa factions, and warlords, the current reality was that they even bit each other and fought.
Add to that the Demonic Cult, which is said to be the strongest single force, the Blood Cult that hides in the dark and plots, and other military factions…
‘Hmm. Rather, it was strange that there was no meeting like this.’
Perhaps similar factions have already been formed among the Safa, warlords, and military firefighting factions?
“But is it possible for envoys from each power to gather in one place at a time like now? If you move like that and get attacked by hostile forces on the street…”
“That’s right. So until now, all the forces have never come together. This is especially true in places that are far from the venue.”
Also, in such a situation, you will be able to properly show off your power by overcoming difficult obstacles and attending the event.
Of course, there will be many cases where the results are worse than just losing power and not doing anything.
“We, SEGA, will definitely participate this time. The Shaolin Temple in Hanam, the venue for this year’s event, is not that far away. Well, it would probably be difficult for Liaoning’s Moyong faction or Cheonghae’s Kunlun faction. “Did you even get the call in the first place?”
Hugo continued speaking, then sat in front of Zhuge Hyemi, who was tilting her head to herself, and stroked the corner of her mouth with a serious expression.
My head began to spin at the unexpected news I suddenly received.
‘I was already thinking about how to move forward, but it turned out to be a good idea.’
Such a great event happening at just the right time!
Gathering information before doing anything was essential.
In that sense, it is a clear opportunity to naturally go out into the wider world and meet many people.
In addition, aren’t those attending this time also people who are using their strengths in their respective fields?
And if you think about the inevitable attacks that will occur along the way…
‘Buffet…! It’s a buffet!’
To me, it was like a sumptuous feast.
