INFINITY

078

The words I just muttered were Yoo Jonghyuk's enlightenment in Ways of Survival. In Ways of Survival, Yoo Jonghyuk gained insight into a single 'phrase' followed by a Chinese character. He learned Way of the Wind in just 5 minutes. But it wasn't that simple and I had wasted two days already. "How can I do this?" I grumbled.

"Huh? You just said it... there is no representation more accurate than that." Alyona look at us and shaked her head. "No, it was a metaphor for him." Alyona said in a matter-of-fact tone. "His words weren't a metaphor." It was enough to make me go crazy. This time the problem wasn't solved by the writer's description in Ways of Survival. It was because the explanation was just complete noise to me and the Fourth Wall was also useless at this moment. 

Fourth Wall gave me judgment and calmness but it didn't give me talent. Alyona's words of saying I should do it in my way isn't clear also. I felt a little feverish as I spoke to Lycaon. "Then you should try this. One wind will meet another wind to form yin and yang. Once again, one wind will meet another wind to form the principles of negative and positive." Yin and Yang was a concept from Earth but Lycaon understood it instantly.

"How could you have gained such profound insight?" I fumed as the time dragged on, "Don't just speak it, spread it directly through your body." Lycaon replied, "So it is like this." Lycaon concentrated and winds from different directions started to form around him. The two winds swirled, adding hot and cold energy to the wind.

...To be honest, I thought it was ridiculous. He just heard it and could carry out the technique instantly? Then why couldn't I do the same? "As I said before, Do it your way!" Alyona had a provoking smile. My pride was provoked, "Then how about this? 'Four winds meet and form a defense. Then another four winds are added, making it the Eight Trigrams. Therefore, the wind is everywhere yet exists nowhere.' Can you do this as well?"

This sentence was the enlightenment that Yoo Jonghyuk gained in the 9th round of regression. This time Lycaon made a puzzled expression. "You can't? This is how I am feeling." I spoke in a triumphant voice. "Pushov... no, Protector. I appreciate it." ...What? Lycaon suddenly turned and started practicing.

[The 5th-grade other world species 'Prince Lycaon of the Imyuntar' has received great enlightenment.]

[You have a great impact on the evolution of Prince Lycaon of the Imyuntar.]

[Lycaon of the Imyuntar feels a great appreciation towards you.]

[Some constellations from the ruined world 'Chronos' thank you.]

[2,000 coins have been sponsored.]

I finally figured out what was going on. That damn wolf gained enlightenment by hearing what I said. Han Sooyoung and Alyona was laughing so hard that she was holding her belly. Huh? They've seemed to be getting closer as the day goes on. I felt belated frustration. Maybe I knew Ways of Survival but I didn't know anything about myself. That's why Alyona always insist do it my way.

[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' admires your patience.]

[The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is disappointed in your weakness.]

Looking at the system messages appearing in the air, I thought about signing a contract with a sponsor. Of course, it was impossible due to the contract with Bihyung. "So why did you break the throne? Fool." I looked up and saw a transparent figure floating in the air. I opened the dokkaebi communication.

'Is it okay to talk now? What about the intermediate dokkaebi?'

[He won't come for a while. He is being properly disciplined. He won't come before the fifth scenario opens. Ah, my channel also upgraded again. Hopefully, I can reach the intermediate level next month. It is all thanks to you.]
