Time passed quickly even in the dark.
The children quickly adapted to their training routine.
Now most kids have noticed the real intention behind their running practice.
The children tried to find out in advance where the custodians were hiding by spreading their senses as wide as possible.
Of course, not all were successful, but So Yeowol and a few children did stand out and succeed. And finally, they succeeded in building internal qi through the method of cultivation
As they start to feel qi, their senses become more sensitive. Thanks to this, they were able to excel better during training.
As the number of children who felt the qi increased, the custodians threw them a second cultivation book.
It was a book called the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method (毒龍心法).
The Poisonous Dragon Heart Method was a mind cultivation method that could build up inner energy as an attribute. The path to ascension is blocked, but in exchange, it is possible to build up inner strength at a high speed up to a certain line. The efficiency was significantly higher than doing other methods.
It has great destructive power like a dragon with a lot of poison, but since the security is poor, if someone makes a mistake, there is a high possibility that they will get burned.
But the custodians did not tell the children anything about it. They just threw out the booklet and forced them to open and learn it.
The children learned the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method without thinking much about.
Now the children were addicted to gaining strength.
As they continued to master cultivation skills, their overall body ability increased dramatically together with their confidence. The children were hell bent on becoming stronger as if they were on drugs.
Madness dominates the mind of the children.
Those who achieved outstanding achievements were rewarded accordingly.
They were given abundant food and good weapons.
These two encouraged children’s competitive spirit and resulted in rapid growth.
Pyo-wol looked at the booklet of the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method with a calm gaze.
There were no children who tried to look and read the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method, quite similar in the case of the Thunder-Splitting Cultivation Technique. This was because the three swords have already explained the cultivation method in detail.
Because of this, Pyo-wol was able to easily obtain the original copy of the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method.
Pyo-wol compared the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method with the Thunder-Splitting Cultivation Technique. The latter method is one that he had read dozens of times already. Thanks to his actions, the booklet has long been in tatters.
Probably, Pyo-wol read the Thunder-Splitting Cultivation Technique many times more than the three swords, who originally introduced and taught the technique.
Pyo-wol came to one conclusion after reading the Splitting the Mind Method dozens of times.
‘They didn’t fully comprehend this cultivation technique.’
If we compare it to a tree, the Thunder-Splitting Cultivation Technique was a huge tree with very thick branches. However, the three swords and the custodians cut off all the branches, leaving only the core trunk and roots.
Because they thought that was enough.
Actually it was.
Most of the children were able to learn the inner skills through the method of cultivating, using only the core.
It was enough to supplement the branching part with the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method.
That one was much more efficient.
The children here are not the ones who would lead the future as powerhouses like those coming from prestigious clans.
They were just a knife that was raised to fulfill a single quest.
They wanted a sharp knife that could leave a fatal wound even once, rather than a strong knife that would never break. And the children have steadily grown up as the Blood Phantom Corps wanted.
The children who learned the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method grew quickly. And by a large margin as compared to the children.
On the other hand, the achievement of Pyo-wol, who first felt the qi, was slow.
It’s because he hasn’t tried to learn the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method yet.
The suspicion that arose from the depths of his heart prevented him from learning the method of the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method. Given his reluctance, Pyo-wol postponed learning the method of the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method and instead immersed himself in analyzing the method of the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method.
The essence of the cultivation method is in its heart. (‘분뢰심법의 요체는 심속(心速)이야.’)
Everything is contained in the name of the Thunder-Splitting Cultivation Technique.
Lightning strikes from the sky to the earth at a speed that humans cannot perceive. The sight that human beings see is only the finished form after the lightning has penetrated the heavens and the earth, but they could not see the process.
He had to split the lightning (分雷).
It was impossible to break through lightning with human power. It was the same no matter how stubborn the warrior was. Nevertheless, the person who invented the cultivation technique dared to choose the word thunder splitting.
Pyo-wol thought that there was no reason to choose such a word.
Every word has its own meaning.
In particular, the gugyeol was added.1 (특히 무공 구결은 더했다.)
Depending on how one interprets the gugyeol, the power and achievement differed from heaven to earth.
Pyo-wol thought that power meant the mind.
It was impossible with the power of the body, but it was possible with the mind.
Usually people think that such a thing is a delusion, but Pyo-wol did not think that the author who created the Thunder-Splitting Cultivation Technique was a dreamer.
With only the key point of cutting all branches, the children were able to quickly recognize the qi and build strength. The person who made such a great martial art couldn’t have been a dreamer.
After much deliberation, Pyo-wol thought that splitting thunder is not meant to be taken literally. Since it’s physically impossible to split thunder, it may be referring to the speed of thought.
If you can think quickly enough to rival the speed of lightning, you may be able to do many things that are not possible with common sense.
The question was whether Pyo-wol, who did not know the martial arts, could perfectly master the essence of such a method.
Rather, moving on to the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method now would be easier and quicker to achieve.
It was obvious that the road would be much easier and convenient if the swords or the custodians had already decided on how to lay their foundation.
However, what Pyo-wol is worried about is that if he follows and walks the way that others have laid down, he also wouldn’t be able to escape the limits that they have set.
Pyo-wol will never be satisfied with that.
After he passed the crisis of life and death alone in the dark darkness, Pyo-wol had a coming-of-age that no one else had.
Maybe he didn’t know that his well-hidden rebellious tendency was starting to wake up.
He did not want to be ruled by others.
He didn’t want to surrender to the humans who put him in this dark space.
So in order to do that, he had to get off the road they had made. Instead of a safe and flat road, Pyo-wol chose a bumpy and rough road with unexpected dangers.
Pyo-wol put the booklet of the Poisonous Dragon Heart Method away.

Now the children were accustomed to their training of running.
The practice of running made their bodies and stamina stronger than ever before.
They have strong muscles like wild goats. The combination of an excellent body and the Poisonous Dragon Heart method made their talents bloom.
The growth speed of the children was beyond the expectations of both the First and Second Sword.
“They’re growing faster than I thought.”
“If this is the case, I think five years is enough instead of six. In fact, the time period of six years was chosen not because the target is that strong, but to erase traces as much as possible and achieve perfection.”
“You cannot underestimate the target. He possesses the most talent in all of Sichuan Province.”
To deal with such a talent, perfect preparation is not enough, because if we make any sort of mistake, then entire Blood Phantom Group may be annihilated. Isn’t that why the Captain recruits and trains these children who have nothing to do with the Blood Phantom Corps? Even if they fail, there will be no problem.”
That’s also the reason why they never take off their masks. They cannot show their faces to children to hide their identity.
The sword apologized.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to underestimate the target.”
“I know. Still, you must be fully alert.”
“Yes, sir!”
The Second Sword replied vigorously.
The First sword looked at the Second Sword for a moment without saying a word.
“Now, let’s teach the children assasination techniques (殺法).2“
