Possessing Nothing

Chapter 11

...What?

Lee Sungmin sharply asked. He quickly turned around and looked towards Wijihoyun. Wijihoyun had a bored face and was looking at him.

Whats trash?

He didnt know where he got the confidence to ask Wijihoyun. He had gotten a martial skeleton. He had learned the [Genuine Heavens] and had practiced everyday. He knew he wasnt the best, but he had tried his hardest.

That effort was being called trash. Sungmin bit his lip as he glared at Wijihoyun. Wijihoyun met his glance nonchalantly as he opened his mouth.

There are way too many unnecessities.

First, he criticized.

The spear is long. Therefore, its important to know how to use that length.

Wijihoyun held up his hand. He pointed his finger at the spear.

But you tried to go close to them. Theres no point in doing that. There was no point in using a technique. If you took 5 steps. Just 5 steps, your spear could have hit the goblin.

...I dont have enough strength

Is it really?

Wijihoyun laughed.

Those guys didnt practice any techniques, and your spear isnt blunt either. Even if you dont have enough strength, a spear can stab something. A spear is that kind of weapon.

Lee Sungmin listened to Wijihoyun without answering back. It was the first time he had heard things like this. He tried to use a spear before, but no one told Sungmin about spear techniques.

Of course, a spear isnt only used for stabbing. You could swing it and beat it. But its a mistake to do that when theres no need to.

Lee Sungmin groaned. He felt anger when he heard that his skills was trash, but listening to his criticism, he could understand his errors.

But, even if the swings were unnecessary, they were practical. The stance is pretty decent Using the spear handle should be complemented. Unnecessities happen when you study alone.

Wijihoyun nodded his head and rated him.

Youre not bad. Using the skill I dont understand, but for one month with no teacher, right? Thats not bad.

No, I did it for 13 years. Lee Sungmin drooped his shoulders.

...Lets go

Lee Sungmin sighed and went towards the goblin. He pulled out the teeth and put the blood in the bottles. Wijihoyun approached him

Go? Where?

I I have to go to the inn Im staying at.

What about me?

Why ask me?

Do I follow you?

Wijihoyun smiled and asked. To that, Lee Sungmins mouth opened wide.

...Follow me?

Hows this? If you pay for my stay, I will teach you martial arts.

Sungmins mind opened up. He was getting to learn from the Small Pegasus! It was an opportunity that wasnt even comparable to the Potion he was trying to after.

Teach... teach me?

Ah, I cant teach you the Pegasuss Grace. Thats only for heads and vice heads. Even if there are no sects here I cant teach you.

He wasnt even looking for that. Ah, but he would accept if Wijihoyun did want to teach him.

Ahah! Isnt that a great opportunity. Are you going to say no?

N. no.

Lee Sungmin swallowed. Wijihoyun wasnt a mean 13 year old kid anymore. Now he was like a God to Sungmin.

God was making him lunch and was basically feeding it to him.

*

Whos that?

Lula who was cleaning the table opened her eyes. Lee Sungmin had an awkward smile as he brought Wijihoyun.

Its an otherworlder who was summoned today.

Its Wijihoyun.

Wijihoyun said to Lula. It was Lula who wanted Sungmin to call her big sister, but she only looked at Wijihoyun with her mouth open.

That made sense. Lee Sungmin had a normal face, but Wijihoyun was different.

Good at martial arts, good background, intelligent, and with a good face.

The world was unfair. Lee Sungmin complained. Wijihoyun was a handsome person even at 13 year. He was young and didnt have any masculine features yet, but in 5 years, everyone would probably consider him handsome.

Hes a martial artists from his clothing.

Jack muttered. He looked at Sungmin and asked.

Are you gonna let him sleep here?

Ah, yes. Ill pay for him.

Well thats fine. There's a lot of rooms.

Lee Sungmin had to pay more, but he didnt care.

He was spending 10,000 Erie for this inn. It was 20,000 Erie, but because Jack was kind enough, he cut the cost by half,

The cost is 20,000. With yours, its 30,000 Erie. Well, seeing your face, Ill do it for 25,000.

Thank You!

As Jack was being generous, Sungmin laughed happily and nodded his head. He pulled Wijihoyun to the room. Since the room next to Wijihoyun was empty, Wijihoyun was going to use that room.

First, I want to know what you want to learn.

Wijihoyun didnt go into his room and came into Sungmins room. He sat on the bed and looked at Sungmins room.

First, tell me what youve learned.

Ive learned the [Genuine Heavens], [One Thunder], [Iron Skin], [Stone Body], and the Chase Soul Spear Technique.

Ok, wheres the book for the [Genuine Heavens]?

To his asking, Sungmin lifted the mattress of the bed and pulled out the book. He gave it to Wijihoyun. Wijihoyun looked at it for a bit and clicked his tongue.

I knew it. Its not that great. The only good thing is that you can learn other cultivation methods as well... Hmm.

Wijihoyun frowned.

What do you want to learn?

Wijihoyun asked.

I know a lot of techniques. I didnt master them all, but I memorized all of them. All of them are peak level techniques, so anything will be of help to you.

... mm

How to use this opportunity. Sungmin thought.

He wanted to first learn some cultivation manuals.. His [Genuine Heavens] was better than what he had in his past life, but he would switch if Wijihoyun told him another one.

Not a Spear Technique yet I need inner strength first.

Thankfully, there was something he was thinking of. Sungmin looked at Wijihoyun.

I want to learn a cultivation method.

I thought so.

Wijihoyun laughed.

Your [Genuine Heavens] isnt really a great method. Its barely a first level cultivation manual. There are tens of those better than that method in my head. Do you know what the difference between a first level and an peak level method?

...Understanding?

Thats not wrong, but thats not right either. Understanding is difficult. The difference between those two is the kindness. The peak level methods are ones that have been perfected through tens and hundreds of years. Its easier to learn and to grow with.

Sungmin could agree to that.

How about the [Amethyst Cloud] . Its uncomparable to the [Pegasuss Grace], but [Amethyst Cloud] isnt too bad either. Its easy to gain inner strength, and if you practice it enough, you might even get to the limit.

Wijihoyun said that and suddenly said the words to the technique. Sungmin raised his hands.

Why?

... I cant memorize it. Cant you write it down?

Sungmin smiled bitterly. Wijihoyun clucked his tongue.

You dont have the memorization skills.

Even as he said that, Wijihoyun took a pen and paper from Sungmin and wrote the manual down.

Why arent you asking for a spear technique.

Wijihoyun asked as he was writing the manual down.

I need inner strength.

Its like youre saying you dont need a spear technique.

I need one, but I cant even do the spear technique that Im practicing right now. I dont have the confidence to use a spear technique better than that one even if I learn it.

Thats wise of you. I saw your spear skills for just a second its barely any use of you to try and learn a better spear technique.

The facts hurt.

After an hour, Wijihoyun put down the pen. Sungmin politely received the paper from Wijihoyun with two hands.

... should I ask him for some other technique?

As he was going to read, suddenly, a sense of greed rose in his mind. He didnt know the reason, but Wijihoyun was being generous to him. Even now. The technique that he gave Sungmin. It was a technique that was incomparable to the Genuine Heavens.

If this news of this manual ended up in Eria, there would be blood with people asking to get it. He had gotten a technique like this for just a inn fee.

Sungmin met Wijihoyuns eyes.

No. The 13 years of his experience warned him that it would be dangerous to ask more.

... thanks.

I only gave what I thought was a fair trade. Its my first friend so I gave a bit more though.

Wijihoyun smiled as he said that.

If you asked more, I would have been very disappointed with you.

Wijihoyun added.

I dont think thats being a friend.
