Chapter: 277
Yeowun slumped down on the ground and began to meditate. As he entered a trance, a vibrant light began to shine out from him in every color and powerful energy shot out from him, causing a rush of wind across the room. Books fell down and it caused a ruckus.
“W-what?! What is going on?!”
The grandmaster level warrior, Gamgung, who guarded the fifth floor, was shocked and looked at Yeowun. The way he was shining in vibrant light meant that Yeowun had earned a great understanding and was moving up into a higher level.
“What is going...”
“Quiet!”
As two other warriors who guarded the fifth floor ran up toward the stone, Gamgung told them to be quiet. If they were to disrupt Yeowun, then it was going to destroy his understanding and endanger him into falling into corruption.
[Defensive formation!]
Gamgung sent a telepathic message and three of them stood around in triangle formation around Yeowun to help him. All of them were shocked since they knew what that vibrant color of light meant.
‘Five qi unification!’
The last stage of the superior level was the five qi unification. When Yeowun reached the supreme level, he had achieved the state of the Three-Point Spirit that gave him the power to use the spirit of the human body, making him more powerful. But that was only half of what a superior warrior should do. It was only when he unified the five energies within him into one that he would reach the true superior level.
After about an hour, the light stopped shining from Yeowun and turned into one bright white light and began to shake his body. His bones and muscles were reconstructing. After trembling for about ten minutes, his body began to show different phenomena.
‘What!’
As his face skin began to crack faintly, the three warriors became shocked. They all knew what this supposed to mean.
‘Body reconstruction!!’
They were dumbfounded and speechless. They never imagined they would see a body reconstruction with their own eyes. The cracks began to spread all over Yeowun’s body. It was as if he would shatter even with a slight touch. It was then that Yeowun moved and entire cracks shattered and turned to dust to disappear. The energy wind that blew began to calm down and Yeowun opened his eyes.
His energy was well organized and there was no way for even Lee Hameng to recognize Yeowun’s energy anymore. Yeowun was able to understand what had happened to him.
‘I... achieved the end stage of the superior level!’
‘It’s the first time I understood the sword formation without having it transferred into my brain.’
This was another feat for Chun Yeowun. Three warriors walked up to Chun Yeowun, astounded from his achievement. Three of them all bowed and congratulated Yeowun for his feat.
“Master Chun, congratulations on your understanding!”
“Congratulations!”
“Thank you. Thank you.”
Yeowun became thankful for them to stand guard while he was in a trance and bowed politely to each of them. Their eyes had envy and admiration in them. They had barely gotten to the grandmaster level at the age of forty, but Yeowun had gone through bodily reconstruction even before turning twenty.
‘Oh... if he is now at the superior level...’
Gamgung’s eyes shook. This meant that Yeowun had the right to take the sixth test. There were no cadets who became superior warriors in the last seventy years of the academy.
‘Am I seeing the birth of the new leader of the cult?’
If he passed the sixth test, then Yeowun was going to be a new elder. He had a chance to become the top official of the Demonic Cult, one of three powerful forces out of the entire Wulin. But even if he doesn’t pass the test, he was still a superior warrior that will be respected as such, meaning he was likely to rise in power anyway.
‘Nano, how long have I been in a trance?’
[It has been over two hours, Master.]
Yeowun was relieved. He was on the last floor of the library that contained the strongest and most powerful martial arts books. He wanted to scan them when he could. He still had four more hours, so it was enough.
