Chapter 492 – Do you need it?
“What on earth is the principle? It seems like a magic trick, but this is the first time I’ve seen such an elaborate magic trick.”
Half an hour had passed since I showed myself to the fallen angel, ready to die. But the fallen angel was still not interested in my current condition and was only focused on the transformation technique.
Even the eyes sparkle brightly.
“That’s amazing. Is it possible to shorten or lengthen your arms and legs?”
“I haven’t tried it, but… I think it would work.”
To use gas transformation, you don’t need to bet a lot, but you do need to be quite meticulous and precise with your operations.
In actual combat, it will not be used as the defeatist wishes.
Will it be possible once I get used to it? I wasn’t sure about this part.
[It’s probably possible.]
“yes?”
I was slightly surprised by Shin Noya’s words that interrupted my thoughts.
Is it possible? Like Pajeon said, extending your limbs in the middle of a fight to cause confusion?
[It is not impossible, since it is something that the Tang Dynasty actually used in battle.]
‘…’
Noya’s calm words made me imagine what would happen.
This is how the Tang Dynasty uses this in battle.
But I felt like it would be a bit strange for arms and legs to grow like sticks, although I don’t know how efficient it would be.
[… Appearance is secondary. The problem is that you shouldn’t show off your martial arts skills carelessly.]
Judging from the way it looked, it seems that Noya didn’t like the idea of using it in battle.
After hearing that much, I moved on and asked about something else.
‘You’re saying I can’t show my martial arts skills?’
The saying that you shouldn’t show your gastronomical skills to others was the problem.
[Rather than saying that you shouldn’t show it to others, to be precise, it means that you should be careful with those in the party.]
‘What is the reason?’
[As you may have guessed, Aesongi, the art of gas transformation is one of the Tang sect’s secret arts.]
I nodded slightly. It was exactly what Noya had expected.
If it was this sophisticated and excellent, it could be called a miracle.
[…. Looking at the current situation, it seems that the gas transformation technique has been lost.]
This is also the same.
Considering that this level of transformation was unknown, it was also natural that it was a martial art that had been lost a long time ago.
‘So, the people of the Tang Dynasty will know and light a fire in their eyes. Is that what you mean?’
[Yes. Even if it was lost, the elders and the family members would definitely know the records.]
‘I understand what you’re saying, but… Noya.’
[Speak.]
‘Is it okay for me to do that, Noya?’
[…]
I get the feeling that Noya is pondering my question for a moment.
The meaning of this question was no different.
I know that this is the lost secret of the Tang family. If the Tang family gave it to me,
The question was whether it was okay to return it to the party.
Since it was given to me directly by the Dangjemun, it would be a bit much to just swallow it up without returning it to the Dangjemun.
‘Normally, I would have just swallowed it.’
Thinking about the relationship between Noya and Dangjemun, it felt awkward to just keep doing that.

If Noya had wanted to return the phrase of martial arts to the Tang family, he would have done so without hesitation… no, he would have hesitated a bit more before doing so.
[There is no need for that.]
Noya refused.
But still, I ask again if it is really okay to do so.
This time the answer was the same.
[The guy didn’t tell you much, so there’s no need to do that.]
‘… one.’
[Given the guy’s personality, if he wanted to do that, he would have said it first. But the fact that he didn’t means he didn’t have to. Also.]
After Noya stopped talking for a moment, a moment of silence passed.
[I don’t want to give it to the current party.]
A rare, cool voice was heard from Noya.
After hearing that, I also had nothing more to say, so I stopped the conversation.
To be honest, it wasn’t a situation where we could talk any further.
“Hmm.”
This was because Paejon, who had been checking out this and that as if possessed by the gas transformation technique, was soon touching various parts of my body.
“It looks like this wasn’t changed due to martial arts.”
This too, Paejon recognized it immediately, and interest appeared in his eyes.
“… Yes. That’s right.”
This is the main point.
It was strange that Paejon was only focused on martial arts, not interested in his transformed body.
If there is a slight problem.
“The body has been captured. It is surprisingly dense.”
“Elder…?”
I know it wasn’t intentional, but I didn’t like the feeling of them fiddling around here and there.
Are you checking the condition of your muscles?
Pajeon, who had been touching here and there, took his hands off my body for a moment and asked me a question.
“It seems like it was a coincidence.”
‘…’
“It seems to have a similar quality to a complete transformation… but it’s different from that. Is it because of that that the bets are all gathered before the break?”
Did you figure that out just by looking at it briefly and touching it a few times?
It was so accurate for something that was said so casually.
The gaze of the beast turns to my eyes.
I saw those unique, clear, yet endless eyes.
“The land has become more stable.”
“… you’re right.”
“I knew you were a secretive child. It seems you have more secrets than I expected.”
“…”
The words that I hear, one by one, are heavy.
Paejon was always like that. Even though he seemed to be uninterested in anything other than martial arts.

‘I feel like I’m seeing much more than that.’
That strange sense of alienation gave off a heavy sense of alienation.
“okay.”
Pazon asked me.
“Is there anything you can tell me?”
I couldn’t answer that question hastily.
Can you explain what happened?
No way. Even if he were to become a disciple of the fallen lord and form a master-disciple relationship.
I haven’t built that level of trust with Pajeon yet.
This will also apply to the Pajeon.
In such a situation, it is difficult to explain this matter in many ways.
Did he read my feelings? Paejoon turned his head slightly and spoke to me.
“If you can’t say it, that’s okay. That’s not what’s important to me.”
I was momentarily surprised to see him back down so easily than I expected.
I thought he would somehow hang on and try to find out what was going on.
Just like last time, is there really nothing more important to a traitor than martial arts?
Thinking about it, it seems as if it were not true.
“What matters in the end is whether or not you can inherit my martial arts. Is there a problem with that?”
Paejon asked whether the transformed body could learn the Tuapacheonmu or not.
To answer this part:
“doesn’t exist.”
Fortunately, there was no problem. I was no longer human and the location of my danjeon had changed.
I don’t think that would be a problem in learning martial arts.
Pajeon nodded slightly after hearing my answer.
“Then it is done.”
It turned out that I could only learn martial arts.
For some reason, those words gave me the creeps.
It really felt like martial arts were everything to Paejon.
[That’s an obsession]
An obsession and desire for martial arts. This could be felt much more intensely when he was around Paejon.
If we look at this, isn’t he the person most qualified to be called unmanned?
“The body has been strengthened, but judging from the way it moves, it seems like it is not used to the sense of distance.”
“…!”
I had to widen my eyes at Paejon’s words.
That’s right on the mark.
As I was maintaining my old body through gas transformation as soon as I arrived, I didn’t have enough time to adapt to my larger body.

Also, because I was so busy moving around, I couldn’t even properly check how much stronger I had become right after my realm level was raised.
“Hmm.”
Regarding this, Paejon seemed to be in deep thought for a moment.
“This is a good thing.”
He smiled slightly as if something had occurred to him.
I found that smile somehow scary.
“What… Are you saying it went well?”
“If the body is unfamiliar and the realm is unfamiliar, isn’t there a better way?”
“what…?”
Suddenly, I was wondering what he meant and was about to ask him what he meant.
Pajeon slightly relaxed his body and smiled at me.
“Go for it.”
yes?
What?
“Elder?”
“I was just wondering how much you’ve changed. This is a good opportunity.”
“Wait a minute. What good opportunity is this?”
Are you saying this is a good opportunity to hit me?
I looked at the statue, wondering if that was really the case.
“You can tell by looking at the eyes.”
“…?”
“Your eyes are itching to check for yourself. Isn’t that a good thing for you too?”
“…!”
I swallowed my breath at Paejon’s words.
My body had changed and my strength had increased. I was feeling suffocated because I couldn’t properly grasp how much had changed.
Are you suggesting that I check it like this?
As Pajeon said, it was necessary, but I had no intention of testing it by fighting Pajeon.
It’s not like I like being hit unilaterally.
‘Isn’t that right? It might not be one-sided anymore?’
As the level of realm has increased, it may be different from before.
Thinking about it like that, I started to feel a little excited.
“There may also be a need to suppress the arrogance of the disciple who has become overbearing.”
“…”
Paejon smiled and said, as if he understood even these feelings.
Damn it, we all got caught.

It’s really absurd how people read my expressions.
After that, he let out a small sigh and raised his arms.
Because, given the atmosphere of the defeat, it didn’t seem like they would let it slide even if they said they wouldn’t do it.
Besides, as he said, there was a need to check it out once.
How long has it been since you fought a demigod?
I have done a few one-sided fights to practice the Tuapacheonmu.
It was the first time we fought in earnest since Shinryongwan.
“This time, you can use something other than the Tuapa Chunmu. Try everything you can.”
“… Are you okay with that?”
“Oh. Are you worried about me?”
Pajeon laughs as if he finds my words funny.
“Don’t worry, I’m not weak enough to be hit by a little disciple with a runny nose.”
Even if I say that, I can’t help but think about it.
After all, there is a clear difference in level.
“I can tell what you’re thinking, so I’ll make a bet.”
“I bet.”
“Yes. If I hit you even once in this fight, I will call you ‘big brother’ for the next seven days and nights.”
“…”
“What do you think? If you don’t like it, try something else…!”
Phew-!
He extended his fist while speaking.
Pajeon turns his head and dodges my outstretched fist.
Oops, that failed.
“her.”
Paejon looks at me as if he finds my actions ridiculous.
His expression said that he had no idea that he would throw a punch while talking.
“It doesn’t work.”
“Haha… How did I end up accepting this kind of person as my disciple?”
I thought it was the perfect time to launch a surprise attack.
It failed. What a pity.
Ududuk, the sound of bones cracking can be heard from the body of the fallen man.
“I guess… I’ll have to scold him a little.”
I had to break out in a cold sweat feeling the slight anger in those words.
I thought it was a little too much.
[Hey, you always get hit first.]
At the same time as Shin Noya let out a pitiful sigh.

I gathered all my strength and ran towards the beast.
********
As the night passed and the sun began to rise.
Shin-ui had to frown at the uninvited guest who had come early in the morning.
It’s surprising that there’s someone who would come looking for you in the morning breeze like this.
That’s because rather than getting angry at the guy who came looking for me, I should have asked him something else.
“…I’m sorry for coming to see you so early in the morning.”
“I heard you had something to ask me….”
“Yes, it’s nothing else… .”
“No, first of all.”
The god cut off the words.
It was because I couldn’t help but ask the other person.
“Why on earth is your face like that?”
“…”
Guyangcheon remains silent at Shinui’s words.
The reason he asked this question was none other than this.
When I met him by chance yesterday, Guyangcheon’s face, which had been fine, was swollen and bruised in just one day, as if he had been beaten up all day.
“… Did you even fight?”
I couldn’t bring myself to ask if he had lost, but anyone could tell he had lost.
But.
“Hehehe.”
“hmm?”
When Guyangcheon heard this, he immediately burst into laughter.
Did the child lose his taste because he was too sweet?
Shin-ui frowns, feeling slightly distant.
“Still… I won the bet.”
Gu Yangcheon just kept smiling and saying something incomprehensible.
However, his face was so distorted that it was quite funny to look at.
