A cold sweat ran down the back of Geum Pyeong.
The fact that Pyo-wol was hiding right next to him, yet he didn’t notice, gave him fear.
Even if Pyo-wol had attacked him, he would be dead.
If this had been a real situation, not a training, he would have lost his life at the hands of Pyo-wol, not knowing how he was going to die.
‘Crazy! How is it possible to master the Turtle Breathing Technique to this extent in only six years?!’
If it were easy to learn then the four children would never have been discovered by him.
Not everyone can do it. It was only possible because it was Pyo-wol.
The abilities that Pyo-wol particularly stood out were stealth, and demonic tactics. His abilities mainly specialized in infiltrating.
‘…Nonetheless, to think his skills are already good enough to deceive me.’
He felt the blood in his body cooling down.
It was the first sense of crisis he felt after retiring from the life of an assassin.
It wasn’t just Pyo-wol.
Among the children, some of the most extraordinary ones boasted exceptional achievements. Their growth threatened the existing instructors.
Their senses were so developed that they couldn’t believe they were the same human being. Based on such a developed sense, if they learned martial arts, their achievements would be unmatched.
Their growth frightened the custodians.
It was the evaluation of the custodians that they would not be able to commit an assassination right away.
Pyo-wol was one of them.
He has not seen sunlight for six years, so his skin is as white as snow, his eyes are bright red, and his face is expressionless.
Among the children, the most handsome man was Go Shin-ok.
If Go Shin-ok has a delicate body line and a beautiful face that is reminiscent of a woman, Pyo-wol has a sensuality that is difficult to describe in words.
The masculine part and the feminine part are mixed to give off a neutral charm.
Even the most experienced assassins, like the Geum Pyeeong made his heart shudder just looking at Pyo-wol’s bright red eyes.
Pyo-wol opened his mouth.
“Now that training is over, can I take a break?”
“Y-Yes!”
The governor stuttered involuntarily.
Pyo-wol bowed his head slightly to Geum Pyeong and turned around.
He could feel the hot gaze of Geum Pyeong behind his back, but he pretended not to know. He had been in hiding for three days, practicing the Turtle Breathing technique.
It was good to perfectly spread the Turtle Breathing technique, but because of that, the muscles of his whole body hardened and the function of his organs weakened.
In order to recover properly, he had to have a quick breakfast.
Pyo-wol’s residence was still in the dark area.
It has been six years since he came here. Most of the other children moved to the main hall, but Pyo-wol still stayed here.
When he was in a dark and closed space that felt gloomy, Pyo-wol felt the most at ease.
Six years have made him that way.
Pyo-wol took a seat in one corner of the room and sat down.
There was no fear of being attacked from behind, and the front sight was opened so that he could react quickly in case of an emergency.
For the past six years, Pyo-wol has lived like this.
He always moved with survival in mind, and he trusted no one.
Even when the other children moved together according to their interests, he was not swept away and lived alone.
Because of that, he was rejected by many children, but he did not pay much attention to it because he was already familiar with the treatment.
Pyo-wol closed his eyes and trained quietly.
The cultivation method he used was the Thunder-Splitting Cultivation Technique.
Even though the other children skipped the Poisonous Dragon Heart method and learned other excellent cultivation methods, he was still stuck in learning only the Thunder-Splitting Cultivation Technique.
That’s not to say that he hasn’t looked at the other cultivation techniques at all.
Pyo-wol looked at all the methods given by the instructors. But each time, his conclusion was the same.
It is said that no other cultivation technique can match the Thunder-Splitting Cultivation Technique.
Right now, other cultivation methods are more destructive, but as time goes on, the gap will narrow sharply. And sooner or later he will be able to surpass them.
When he practiced the Thunder-Splitting Technique, he felt as if my body had been penetrated from my head to my toes.
It was always mesmerizing.
Pyo-wol experienced the same feeling every day after his method of cultivating reached a certain point.
The internal energy learned by the Thunder-Splitting method had the properties of lightning (雷). Although the amount was so small that it could not be excreted from the body, the nerves of Pyo Yue were stimulated every day.
At first, it felt bad.
His nerves were tingling and it felt quite painful.
He could have stopped at that point, but Pyo-wol continued to learn and study the method of cultivation. By the time five years had passed, Pyo-wol realized that his body’s reaction speed had risen dramatically. When there’s an incoming threat, his body reacts even before his head could process what was happening.
At first, he didn’t know why, but after thinking about it for a while, he soon found out why.
The cause was lightning.
Lightning stimulates the nerves in his brain and develops it.
One of the facts that he learned while learning the method of cultivating is that all the motor responses of the human body are actually caused by electrical or nerve impulses in the brain.
Depending on how fast the nerve impulse is transmitted, the reaction speed changes.
A person whose nerve impulse is transmitted quicker responds that much faster, while a person with a slow nerve impulse transmission recognizes and responds more slowly.
In the meantime, Pyo-wol has continuously stimulated his nerves throughout the body with the Thunder-Splitting Method. As a result, he developed a nerve that no one dared to match.
Because of this, his reaction speed was so high that no other children dared to match him. Even if they learned and spread the same martial arts, their speed was inevitably different.
Another thing had changed.
It was what Pyo-wol named the heart speed (心速). The expansion of neural networks even increased his speed of thinking. The speed of his thinking was outstanding, it was as if Pyo-wol was thinking in a different time than others.
Pyo-wol completely hid all of these facts.
He only showed his excellence in catching, such as Turtle Breathing Technique and stealth, while he hid his skills in martial arts by making it roughly on par with the other children in the underground cave.
Only one person knew that fact.
In order to get out of this hellish place, he had to hide his abilities by at least five percent, not three percent.
That’s how Pyo-wol has spent the last six years.
If there is one thing that makes him uneasy, it is that the Thunder-Splitting Cultivation Technique is no longer enough.
A slightly higher level of cultivation method was needed.
A cultivation method that will expand and guide him properly.
However, it was impossible to find such a method here.
The cultivation methods given by the custodians were all methods that did not have much depth in them. Such methods are very helpful for immediate achievement and growth, but their limitations are too clear when looking into the distant future.
There were two options for Pyo-wol.
