Ch. 104 - Tae-Ryung Divine Art (7)

As the days went by, Tae-Ryung Breathing Technique’s proficiency rapidly increased.

At first, Baek Yu-Seol had to sit quietly and concentrate for a while to use it, but now he could use it with some ease even while running.

Of course, using it while running still required more time for focus, so it was still difficult to use during urgent battles.

In martial arts novels, he thought of it as a passive ability that could be used automatically, similar to the techniques or spells, but it required considerable effort and practice.

Furthermore, using both Tae-Ryung Breathing Technique and Magic Concentration simultaneously in practical combat was almost impossible.

However, its power was undeniable.

He was confident that if one could focus mana on a sword, he could easily shred through shields of at least the Class 3.

However, he was still far from catching up to the protagonists.

The three female protagonists once displayed Class 4 magic in the Divine Realm.

Even achieving the Class 3 was no easy feat.

Since they experienced magic a step higher than themselves, they would likely reach the Class 4 level soon.

Due to the influence of the previous setback, Hae Won-ryang was pushing himself to the limits, and would also reach Class 4 in no time.

It was the same for Mayuseong.

Despite various reasons, Baek Yu-Seol continued to train diligently, as becoming stronger was a sure way to secure the future.

The magical training curriculum conducted directly by Instructor Lee Hanwol was tough, but such lessons were hard to come by anywhere else, so he participated enthusiastically.

They were an extremely great aid in practicing Tae-Ryung Breathing Technique.

It was extremely rare to find someone who could both fight well and teach as well as Lee Hanwol.

Well, that was why he was probably in charge of Class S.

The magical combat training covered a wide range of tutorials, starting with sensing the scope of Target Magic, finding advantageous positions in unfavorable situations, and employing magic that pierced the opponent's vulnerabilities.

Honestly, Baek Yu-Seol already knew everything.

Well, not exactly, but he developed those techniques in his own way in the game and even posted his strategies on the community several times.

So, the content of the lessons wasn't particularly new for him.

Only the fact that he could train was important to him.

After finishing his daily work, he headed straight to the training ground.

He’d significantly reduced strength training to about an hour a day.

Now, breathing technique was more important than strength.

"Inhale!"

Thud!

When the heavy barbell was set down on the floor, a loud noise reverberated through the training facility.

"You seem lively these days.”

Eisel was covered in sweat, and her hair was neatly tied up in a ponytail as she inquired with a sly smile.

"Oh, you know, health is paramount. If you exercise when your back and neck hurt later, it's too late."
