Shincon’s One Coin Clear

Episode 138. Soul Training Grounds (5)

The sun didn’t care even though Parka went inside the cube.

Koh Young, a player who used to be an instructor at Mirva.

Three players, Rossi and Azur Doherty, from the Steel Wolf.

In addition, Ran and Salomon Messiah, who were originally Taeyang’s companions.

Because there were as many people as the sun and the kite.

These were perfect candidates for testing the hypotheses.

It was because his main specialty was clear as much as his skills were outstanding.

Ran and Salomon Rossi and Azur are magic-type players.

Koh Young and Doherty are physics-based players.

In conclusion, it was as expected.

The tests Rossi and Azur went through, and the tests Koh Young and Doherty went through, were divided into A route and B route classified by Hyun-hye. (Messiah didn’t come out of the cube, so I couldn’t ask.)

-But aren’t there too few candidates?

– It doesn’t matter. Because there is already accumulated data.

-But in that data, it doesn’t say whether the player is a magic type or an unmanned type. ㅇㅇㅇ

-It’s just that there’s no distinction, but the route is clearly divided into two. Are you a jerk?

-ㅇㅇ Yoon Taeyang made an inference based on the results. I didn’t set up a hypothesis from the beginning.

-I explain to you, but why are you walking like this? lol.

“So according to my hypothesis, this test is real.”

Following the 3rd level test of body control allowed me to experience the principles of martial arts.

This is a fact that Taeyang personally experienced and found out.

The players said they didn’t get anything from the 3rd level test of magic control.

However, that meant that there was no reward directly given in the dimensional labyrinth, not that there was no realization of individual players.

It was because Taeyang didn’t directly mention the story about him and ask.

“Let’s find out.”

-An expected test is ‘resistance’ or ‘balloon’.

“Resistance is endurance, balloon is mana push?”

Wooddeuk.

The sun lightly bent its neck and entered the cube.

***

Already five times the old sign greeted the sun with a step up number.

The letters on the sign were as expected by the sun.

Step 6.

resistance.

-resistance. Hmm.

“Did you say someone was awake?”

-doesn’t exist. The 6-step test that the user passed on route A has only one wrong move.

“I’m sorry about that.”

no one cleared

Hyeon-hye, who said that, and Tae-yang, who muttered that he was sorry, did not show any regret or embarrassment on his face.

Because it was as expected.

“It is high.”

I muttered as I looked at the pyramid-shaped altar in front of the sun.

Mana control ability category 6 test resistance.

The test was simple.

The moment you climb to the top of that altar, you will be struck with magical energy.

for 3 minutes.

If you can hold out for 3 minutes, it will be cleared.

-Isn’t this rather easy for Yoon Taeyang?

– Lol lol.

-Youn Taeyang ate two dragon hearts. The starting point is different from other players.

The sun had the same idea.

It would be easy if the mana was simply thrown down and endured it.

Because the sun’s mana reserve is overwhelming that of any other player in the same layer.

‘But if it was a simple test to measure mana reserves, it would have come at level 4 instead of level 6.’

Tuung.

The sun lightly bounced up the altar.

The sun climbed up the high altar in just three steps, where you could see the top only by bending your neck, and soon climbed to the top of the altar.

The moment you put your feet in the sole-shaped groove in the center.

Wow.

The mana began to drain.

“Hyeon-hye, tell me when it’s time.”

-huh. Every 30 seconds the strength will be added. I’ll tell you in about 25 seconds.

“okay.”

There was not a single slight movement in the expression of the standing sun.

Maybe 10 seconds have passed.

-how is it?

“easy.”

The sun answered right away.

However, that kind of leisure of the sun was only up to 30 seconds.

cooong.

At the same time that 30 seconds passed, Taeyang’s knee was bent halfway.

Compared to the previous day, the magic power that became ridiculously powerful pressed down on the sun.

The two dragon hearts nestled in the sun’s chest rattled and began to pulsate rapidly.

The sun raised mana from his heart as great as firing his broken lightsaber to maximum while dealing with Balak in the past.

As Mana began to spin his body, the downward pressure became relatively tolerable.

The bent knee gradually straightened out and eventually became a straight line.

“Whoa.”

As expected.

The test was a relative evaluation, not an absolute one.

Rather than enduring a fixed number of mana, such as 100 200, if the number of mana pouring out in proportion to the player’s skill could explain the pressure of mana, which suddenly became ridiculously powerful.

-55 seconds.

Wow.

Immediately after Hyun-hye’s words, the pressure increased.

thump thump.

The two dragon hearts, which felt threatened by their lives, overheated and started spewing out mana like crazy.

Just as the heart pumps and pumps blood through the capillaries throughout the body, the dragon heart pumps and supplies mana to the mana circuits throughout the body.

A lot for large-area circuits.

A little bit for small circuits.

Horrible for elastic circuits.

Be careful with soft circuits.

kudduk.

The groove into which the sun had entered deepened.

The sun slowly turned the mana of his whole body against the pressure.

Still worth doing though.

Time passed quickly.

Beyond 1 minute, 1 minute 30 seconds. and up to 2 minutes.

As time passed, the face of the sun hardened.

Are you stronger than this?

I knew it would be difficult, but no matter how strong I become in proportion to my abilities, this is too… … .

2 minutes 30 seconds.

Whoops!

Taeyang’s knees began to bend once more due to the stronger pressure.

“Turn it off!”

The air rushed out of my lungs because of the power I had entered.

Wooded Deuk.

Bone sounds began to emanate from Taeyang’s body.

The bent knee began to straighten again.

The sun’s muscles forcibly held on to the bone that was about to bend.

Not with magical power, but with physical strength.

‘I’ve used all the techniques I can use.’

What’s next.

it is the body

The dragon heart and mana circuit have been replaced, but the body has not yet been replaced.

with the body.

hold on to bullying

Woowook Huh.

Steam came out of his mouth.

The metabolism is extremely active, and the body starts to fever.

It was not a common phenomenon and would not have a good effect on the body.

A trickle of blood flowed from between the lips of the sun, which barely clung to the mind trying to distance itself and the body trying to collapse.

Of course, it was intentional.

The iron-tasting liquid tried to awaken his spirit, but the sight in front of him kept getting farther and farther away.

“Turn it off… … .”

The sun instinctively realized.

That’s all you can endure.

Now, there is only one option left.

skill.

A skill that summons the body of the demon king Balak. Divine Dragon Flower.

A Stormbringer that summons the storm spirit lord Arasil and his subordinate wind spirits.

‘But no.’

I knew it instinctively.

no it’s not instinct

could be deduced inductively.

By going through this stage called ‘Soul Training Ground’.

You can use skills, but you can’t get them if you use skills.

At least in this test, it certainly was.

The reason why only the root distribution of users was strange.

It was because he cleared the stage 1 jump test that Taeyang went through, not through his own abilities, but through his skills acquired through cards.

The same is true for the second stage 100-to-1 test.

It was because he used the built-in magic of the artifact and used the buffs obtained from the skill card.

No idiot holds a real sword and swings it at a punching bag at the training ground.

‘I have to use the skill to get something.’

I don’t know what kind of demon lord he was, but the soul training ground was literally a stage made to tell the player something.

It was also clear that the difficulty of the ‘resistance’ test also varied depending on the player’s magical power level.

However, the current reality of the overwhelming pressure threatening Taeyang’s life was also true.

So the sun had no choice but to weigh.

The mana that oppresses the sun clearly said this.

‘Is the achievement you’re trying to acquire more important than life?’

The teeth were clenched.

His pride kept putting the brakes on his actions that he was about to give up.

‘Soul Training Grounds are different from other stages. clearly.’

There is no malice.

It was so clear that it was designed only for the growth of the player.

But give up?

can’t do it

No, it was made to break.

You thought you could break it… … .

Quad de de de de deuc.

The altar started to crack.

Would this happen if the force of gravity multiplied dozens of times?

Beads of sweat that flowed down Sun’s cheeks quickly clung to the floor.

At the same time, the sun’s mind and body reached their limits at the same time.

“Seed… … Baaaaaaaaa!”

I thought I was greeted.

Kwack Kwadeuk.

The sun, kneeling, endured with both hands planted on the floor.

It was a bit ridiculous, but it was clear that he was enduring it.

Mana that bends the mana circuit to the limit.

The body that endured with self-denial was overcoming the mighty power.

Hyeon-hye, who was chewing her nails, muttered with a tearful expression.

-please… … .

The sun let out a laugh involuntarily.

When Taeyang was young, there were several stories he hated the most.

If not, let it be.

do it until

You can do it.

nature theory.

It is a kind of spiritual theory deeply embedded in Korean culture.

And that’s obviously wrong.

This is because it has been scientifically proven that human will is a finite and expendable resource.

However, there is only one case where this theory of nature is useful.

When checking the limits of my abilities.

The experience of rolling all the way to the floor is ‘at least once’.

It is useful.

This is the reason why forced logic such as the theory of nature and the theory of spirit spread like a disease in society in the first place.

It’s really surprising because there are cases where ‘you can do it’.

You can do things you thought you couldn’t.

What a surprise.

The sun was like that too.

When he reached his limit, he was doing things he didn’t normally think he could do without realizing it.

For example, the three-step test ‘follow me’.

The work of substituting the operation of the power I saw there into my body.

Whoops.

It was simply a change of method, but the vibration of the mana circuit, which had been screaming as if it would soon be ripped off, changed to a refreshing one.

The pressure was still heavy and still overwhelming.

but.

Kwack Kwack.

The hands that the sun had planted were pulled out one by one.

It means that you have enough strength to stand firmly with both legs.

good luck.

straighten the bent back

Knees also stretched out.

The sun clearly recognized it.

didn’t grow up

It’s just that my bottom was a bit deeper than I thought.

“Oh, I don’t know.”

One thing is important.

That he overcame this fucking powerful mana on his own.

My heart beat wildly and my mana circuit trembled as if it were about to explode.

However, the body was operating at its limit, but it didn’t feel like it was scratching the inside like before.

-2 minutes 55 seconds. 56 seconds… … 57 seconds… … .

However, maintaining and enduring it was another ordeal.

How many times have you gnawed at it?

Now it’s time to worry about wearing out your teeth.

-59 seconds… … .

The test is over.

Patter.

The walls of the cube collapsed.

***

“Hoo.”

A man is sitting on a chair and looking at the sun.

The man had no eyeballs.

Instead, a large fireball was burning where the eyeballs were supposed to be.

Sigh.

The hawk perched on his shoulder let out a feeble cry.

The man answered while stroking the hawk’s beak.

“Certainly. You’re a friend worth the rumors.”
