My Alter Ego's Path to Greatness

Chapter 319

〈 Shaman Sect (2) 〉

Sammen Gorge is located in a location adjacent to the two westernmost provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi in Henan Province, where the Shaolin Temple is located.

There, in a mountain valley, there was a house that had fallen flat.

For some reason, it is a quiet place in the mountains where neither the bandits who make a living by stealing on the mountain paths nor the common people who hide in the forest to escape the tribulation can be found.

Inside, an old man with the appearance of a immortal opened his mouth while slowly stroking his long white beard.

“...Hey, tell me again.”

“My name.”

Then, a man in his late thirties, who was kneeling in front of him and had a ghostly presence, repeated what he had said in an emotionless tone.

“Following Jeonggeommun and Gyuhonggak Suramun, located in the southern part of Henam Province, even Heuksobang collapsed. “Neighboring powers began to panic at the sudden situation, and as a result, the strife that was taking place in the area temporarily came to a standstill.”

As soon as the man finished speaking, the old man stopped stroking his beard and quietly closed his eyes, lost in thought.

Hanam was an area where the influence of the Shaolin Temple, one of the most powerful political factions, was strongly exerted.

Therefore, in order to keep them in check and instigate chaos, they have been paying special attention to inciting various forces, regardless of political or political status...

‘As of now, they are only a few factions in southern Hanam. This isn’t enough to have a big impact on the remaining plans, but... hmm, something’s bothering me.’

However, in a situation where everything was going smoothly, a sudden variable occurred—.

Things about that unidentified monster continued to stimulate the old man’s desire for perfection.

“What about pleural effusion?”

“Following the massacre of the Gwangakpaedo of Suramun, he also exterminated the Heuksobang and then disappeared.”

“Have you figured out his identity?”

“The outfit is so intense that it is difficult to obtain detailed information about the person’s appearance from witnesses. “If we simply look at the clothing, it is most likely that he is from Southern Manchuria, but at present, we believe it is highly likely that he was deliberately dressed up excessively to hide his true appearance.”

“Hmm...”

In the first place, there were not many people who were tall enough to see the face of such a strong man, but the impressions left in the memories of the few witnesses were all limited to a few of his individual characteristics.

Right now, there is no information available to infer who the other person is.

‘The same goes for the mysterious expert who cleared out the enemies of Dong-ho Dong-ho and Yang-gang not long ago. Suddenly I don’t know what’s going on.’

I thought the confusion would continue for a long time and there would be no more hidden members.

Where on earth do such strong people, who are presumed to be at the very edge of the world of peace to say the least, come out of nowhere like this?

It’s as if I fell from another world...

‘No, that can’t be possible. Rather than that, it would be more reasonable to say that it moved from Geumo Island.’

After thinking that far, the old man stroked his lovely beard again.

Now there were no more ‘real’ otherworldly people left in this world.

At best, there will be settlers who have given up even their special abilities and are stuck.

“But there is one thing worth noting...”

While the old man was quietly lost in thought.

The man who was still kneeling on one knee spoke again.

“They say he called himself Gwangma.”

“...Hoo Gwangmara?”

The old man asked back with interest in his voice.

Gwangma was an expert he already knew.

Not only does he have outstanding skills to wander alone in such a confusing world, but he is radical in everything he says and does not look back. Despite being a person who has a lot of political problems, he has been given the nickname of a demon.

At the same time, they flatly rejected the offer to include Gyo, and instead showed hostility towards them.

But the fact that he called himself like that was—.

“Of course, it’s definitely not real. It has already been confirmed that Gwangma was in conflict with someone in Jinju, Hebuk until recently.”

In the end, it is an impersonation.

Either that, or he’s a true madman who doesn’t even care about the public opinion, let alone the madman.

Eventually, the old man who was stroking his beard slowly nodded and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

“It just worked out well. I could use that. Secretly reveal that fact to Gwangma of Hebei. “Because of his personality, he would never remain silent if there was someone impersonating him.”

No matter how good the passing score is, if it is a test designed for humans to deal with humans, it will not be suitable for you.

Also, isn’t that test supposed to have been created assuming an enemy with wings?

‘Of course, you can refer to it and create a new one. It’s more important now than that... to build from the foundation.’

Cheaeng—! visor!

“Wow, this young guy...! “What kind of power is this...!”

“Fuuuuu—.”

Even while I was lost in thought and analyzing my surroundings, I continued to move my body.

Even as I repeatedly defeated the enemies with my sword, I continued to take deep, deep breaths.

However, even as he fought, his gaze contemplating his surroundings showed a completely different world.

‘see.’

In addition to his senses being further strengthened by gaining 「Heavenly Retardation」, several skills such as 「Nervousness」 and 「Visiting」 were activated at the same time, absorbing information around him in an instant.

Of course, if it had simply ended there, the ‘understanding’ needed to activate “Imitation” would have been far lacking.

‘I am not alone.’

Hans’s wisdom, Heinz II’s intuition, Heinrich’s skills, Harley’s instincts, Harris’s experience...

And Hubert’s “Analysis” and Horus’s “Explorer of the Mysteries” come together—.

‘I think I finally understand the basics of what’s going on.’

Most of the martial arts in sight were immediately disassembled and disassembled one by one, processed into elements that can be applied to oneself and passed down. In the meantime

,

Hugo’s brain, the center of it, began to be overloaded due to the connection with several avatars of revenge, but this level of pain and fever was nothing compared to the durability of the body that was strengthened by pouring in a huge amount of karma.

‘There is no need to copy everything perfectly.’

It wasn’t impossible if you set your mind to it, but it was too inefficient and there was a possibility that you might end up in an annoying situation later.

Wouldn’t it be wise to prepare an escape hole for now, in case you become stronger later?

‘Anyway, what is important is the core essence contained therein, so rewrite the form as it suits this body and take only what is necessary.’

In that sense, the martial arts of the Shaman faction had the elements he needed most at the moment.

The most contradictory element to his martial arts skills, which he grew up with based on Outerica, was Yu, which was the core of the Shaman faction.

‘In Outerica, in order to deal with monsters that have thick leather and vitality and are unaffected by most attacks, they had no choice but to develop an emphasis on destructive power.’

There might have been a different martial art somewhere, but at least he had never encountered such a martial art.

In the first place, the ‘Aura’ itself used by warriors was an energy specialized for emitting explosive energy.

‘But the strength accumulated through energy is different. It is a necessary process in order to reach the level of a warrior in this world.’

It’s not for nothing that people say he specializes in interpersonal combat because he comes from the martial arts world.

Under similar conditions, the ever-changing essence of internal strength and techniques optimized for murder allowed them to gain an overwhelming advantage.

‘Of course, it appears somewhat weak against extraterrestrial species.’

Just as the Heavenly Demon Emperor, who had just returned from the Gangwhan Realm, showed that he was very weak against Hans.

As time passed, Hugo’s movements began to change little by little.

From the beginning of the battle, I took a strong step forward, and my steps, which had been heavy, became light.

The sword, which emphasized strength and pleasure, was curved smoothly by mixing metal with it.

‘What I lack is an understanding of the mysteries of martial arts and internal energy. If you just look at it from a combat perspective, there’s nothing wrong with this.’

No matter how shallow the knowledge of martial arts in this world was, this world was already a specialist who had trained several martial arts transcendentalists.

Hugo’s breathing, which had been monotonous, gradually changed.

At first glance, it seems quite similar to the disciples of the shaman sect, including Unhyeonjinin, but when you really feel it, the breathing method is clearly different.

‘done. ‘If this is enough...’

Hugo gave a faint smile to the demonstrators who taught and enlightened him and slowly took a deep breath.

Thanks to this, I was able to clearly understand the meaning of softness and harmony in their martial arts and how to use them in battle.

And as if to congratulate him.

《The entity grows by meeting the conditions. The skill “Qigong Martial Arts” evolves into the growth-type special skill “Nameless Gong.”》

A new message window appeared in front of his eyes.
