Sponsored chapter by Thanh Kim. I've gotten a lot of chapters from you, so I'll be uploading a lot.
âOk, spear techniques are good for now.â
Wijihoyun muttered and held out her hand.
âIâll give you 20 percent of my inner strength.â
She was saying that it was nothing, but Sungmin couldnât believe it.
20 percent of her power. He didn'tâ know how much that was. But was inner strength something that was so easily taken and given? Sungmin was curious about that.
Inner strength were all different. A guyâs strength had yang while the girl had yin. Those things were the basics and the inner strength all differs from which type of cultivation methods that were learned. One type of method would give that type of inner strength.
âI learned Amethyst Cloud, so can I take your inner strength?â
âYou're not completely stupid.â
At the question, Wijihoyun made a proud face and answered.
âIf it was normal, itâs impossible to give inner strength. Only if its the purest central energy, it could be given. But thatâs not the best way to do. That energy is basically your life power, so just by touching, it lowers your life expectancy.â
She wasnât going to give that energy
âThere are other ways to take strength, but they arenât effective. It seems like a good thing to be able to steal someone else's strength⊠but itâs not really a good thing either. Thereâs too much waste accumulated.â
Wijihoyun put out her hand further and grabbed Sungminâs wrist.
âDo you know why the Pegasusâs Grace is one of the best techniques and is given only to the heads?â
âHow would i know.â
âOf course you wouldnât. To say simply, the Pegasusâs Grace⊠doesnât go through what all cultivation methods go through called the ârefinement.ââ
â...what?â
Sungmin couldnât help but be surprised at that. Even if it was second rate and third rate, sungmin practiced cultivation methods. He knew how amazing not going through ârefinementâ was.
The basis of the cultivation method was usually natureâs power into the body, and using the words of the method, refining it to inner strength. Thatâs how strength combined in the body.
Those were the basics of all the cultivation methods, the third rate or apex techniques. The Amethyst Cloud that he was practicing right now was a grace cultivation method, but there was refinement involvement. It was just that the speed that the inner strength combines is nothing compared to other methods.
But to have no refinement. if that was true, inner strength would increase every time he took a breath from nature.
âPegasus Grace allows for a person to gain strength just by breathing. It could be considered one of the best. But itâs not for everyone. You have to have qualities to learn it.â
Wijihoyun rubbed Sungminâs writs and stayed quiet for a while. He could feel the power given by Wijihoyun.
âThe blood flow⊠isnât clean. Thereâs a lot of waste here. 14 isnât a young age to learn martial arts. Itâs pretty late.â
It was inevitable. Even if he earned a low class martial skeleton, he couldnât clean up the blood flow.
âYour energy limit is small as well. That I canât do anything about. Your strength is small. So⊠Iâm going to give you 20 percent of my strength, but itâs not as easy of a thing to do in real life. Giving or receiving.â
â...itâs not dangerous, right?â
âNo. Still, it depends on you how much of the energy that you can usually take from my 20 percent. Use the Amethyst Cloud.â
Wijihoyun let go of his hand. Sungmin followed and started to use the Amethyst Cloud. His small inner strength started to give energy.
Wijihoyun stood behind Sungmin. She breathed a few time and put her right hand on his stomach. The pegasusâs Grace was being used.
âDonât say anything.â
Wijihoyun warned. Sungmin closed his eyes and mouth. He only thought about the Amethyst Cloud and used it. Then
Through his stomach, a big energy was entered. It was an unrefined clean natural energy.
Wijihoyunâs energy had the usage enough and ever more of an potion. The size was the same, but during refinement, potions mix in waste as well. Thereâs a lot of energy waste when cultivation methods are used to refine it.
But to this energy that she was giving, there wasnât anything like that. Of course, he couldnât just take the energy. Sungmin didnât learn the Pegasusâs Grace.
Sungminâs shoulder shivered. The energy from Wijihoyun wandered through Sungminâs blood. To keep it, Sungmin kept using the Amethyst Cloud.
âPhew!â
A big later, Wijihoyun took off her hand. Her face was filled with tiredness. She was grumbling while wiping off her sweat.
âThis is a huge opportunity. You know?â
Sungmin couldnât answer. He was surprised by the amount of energy coming through his veins. Only a bit later did he open his eyes.
â...Ah!â
The first thing that he let out was a sigh. His energy was filled. He hadnât felt this full in ages.
âThis is just 20 percent?â
It was impossible. The 20 percent that she put in⊠it was way more than he had in 10 years.
âHow much did you get?â
âAh⊠about⊠half?â
âLies. With your skill, you wouldnât have even got half. Donât get discouraged. Itâs power in your veins, so with practice, you should be able to get it.
Tired. She grumbled and sat down on the bed. Wijihoyun would have to be using 20 percent of her strength.
â...Why are you doing this/â
âYou're my friend.â
Wijihoyun answered.
âDonât say it. This is⊠just by pleasure. I donât want anything from you, so donât worry.â
âIâm tired. Iâm going to sleep early...tomorrow, iâll start fixing the High Heavens.
â...Should I help?â
âYou? Help me? Say something correct. If you want to help me, at least write me the scroll for the Chase Soul technique. Iâll put that in.â
âDo you have to put my name?â
âItâs my choice.â
There was no point in arguing. He brought a pen and paper, wrote down the words to the Chase Soul, and gave it to her. Wijihoyun looked it over and grumbled.
âThis is a techniqueâŠâ
To the genius Wijihoyun, this sort of technique isn't even a technique for her.
â...Thank you.â
Sungmin sincerely thought that and bowed his head down to her. Wijihoyun looked at his bowed head, and lifted her hand and brought it down on his head. Bap! Sungmin screamed at the dizziness.
âAck!â
âDonât bow.â
Wijihoyun spit out.
âWeâre friends. Donât bow on friends.â
âI couldâŠâ
âI donât like it.â
Wijihoyun answered and lifted herself up.
âHow long are you going to be.â
âYou?â
âIâm busy. Itâs going to take about a month to fix the High heavens.â
â...Arenât you leaving?â
Sungmin asked. He told Wijihoyun about his past life. At this point, Wijihoyun was going to leave Genasis.
âI have things to do.â
âItâs because of me.â
âYes, itâs because of you.â
Wijihoyun smiled and answered.
âIf I didnât hear the reborn thing or whatever, I would have said goodbye. And I would have left this city in a few days.â
The same as before. Wijihoyun felt different things than before, but the human called Wijihoyun had no intention of staying in this city for over a month.
âYou came back already once after dying. If you die stupidly again, isnât it bad and shameful for you? So, Iâll help you. So you donât waste your life.â
Sungmin looked at Wijihoyun. What. What is this. As a friend? Really. Was that why she was giving all this to him.
Sungmin couldnât understand that. A friend was basically a shallow relationship, a coincidence.
It was obvious why Sungmin didnât understand Wijihoyun. In those 13 years, there was no one he could consider as a friend. Relationships⊠itâs not like he didnât have those.
They just all died.
Sungmin did think about that. Maybe there was something that he could do. It was nonsense. It was hard for him to live at this point. In these 2 months, they were probably already dead.
âWhat is that facial expression?â
â...just glad.â
Sungmin muttered.
The relationship with Wijihoyun to Sungmin was probably the best opportunity that he had ever gotten in both his lives.
