Lust System in the Murim World

'It seems like we have to work on finding the Dragon Essence. This place looks like an inheritance place. So, why wouldn't there be any inheritance? Just these writings on the wall shouldn't be enough, right?'

After finishing reading, Kim decided to search for the dragon's essence. As someone who had read countless novels, he believed that there would be an inheritance like that in this place.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find one. No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find a single drop of dragon essence.

Eventually, he gave up and decided to wait for others. While he had already finished reading, they hadn't. So, while they were reading, he decided to study four breathing techniques that he received from that hidden quest alongside Sun and Moon Breathing Technique.

For those four breathing techniques, it was easy to get started. He just had to accept the system's introduction.

After nearly five minutes, his mind was full of four breathing techniques.

Fire Breathing Technique! Water Breathing Technique! Wind Breathing Technique! Earth Breathing Technique!

Fire Breathing Technique would be one of the most common breathing techniques. In fact, all five elemental breathing techniques are common but only in bigger cities.

In a place like Pingyang town, even Basic Martial Techniques would be hard to get.

Each Breathing Technique has its own advantage and disadvantage. Each breathing technique could be counter by another, but once a person learns more than one breathing technique, it would be really hard to defeat him in combat.

But, just like Laws or Armament Techniques, only geniuses can learn more than one. And, even they don't dare to spend too much time learning more than one element.

In most cases, they keep one element as their root and develop other elements to a certain degree.

But for Kim, it was quite different. Just in terms of talent, Kim had the highest rank. Even though he might not have the bloodline or constitution, his high intelligence allows him to learn anything faster than others.

So, it only took him five minutes to digest four breathing techniques. After understanding them, he started practicing them.

The Asura Blade appeared on his right hand as he closed his eyes. Using the Breathing Technique means transforming internal energy into a certain element while refining internal energy from spiritual energy.

But, the Breathing Technique could be used in a different method as well. That method would be combing breathing techniques with certain movements to create martial arts.

He created Shadow Style- Venomous Strike, One Flow- Lightless Slash are derived from the power of element, especially dark element.

And, same goes for Iron Pagoda Art which is derived from Metal Elements.

So, he was planning on creating martial arts right now. He took a deep breath and let his body get to its proper condition.

First, Fire Breathing Technique!

The internal energy burst out of his blade and the light shone inside the underground. His eyes focused on the empty space in front of him as he tried to imagine the enemy in front of him.

Soon, his mind perceived a perfect figure of an enemy. This enemy was holding a sword and waiting for him to strike.

This was the ability of his cursed power. At least, previously he believed it was a cursed power. Being able to imagine any female naked in his mind just after seeing them made his life isolated.

But after a year of hard work and training, he finally managed to change himself. Now, he could use this ability to create a mental image and it would be so real that he could treat it as a training dummy.

He could even make the move. After all, it was just in his mind.

After creating the mental image, his foot stepped forward. The fire burst out like the flames of a phoenix's wings. As he saw his enemy in his mind, he instantly created hundreds of scenarios and hundreds of attacks.

But among them, only seven of them actually worked. His right foot struck the ground and his left foot suddenly rose, holding him on his toes.

He held the blade in a way that he could extend his hand and spun. His body spun so fast that the girls who got distracted by his training couldn't even see his face.

All they could see was a swirl made out of the flame.

But, just a few seconds later, they saw the flames wildly soaring toward the sky and changing into the phoenix itself.

Suddenly, Kim stopped and the blade on his hand reached under his left arm. The next moment, his foot stepped forward as he dashed toward the imaginary enemy.

The fiery phoenix followed and as he slashed his sword, the fiery phoenix pounced forward.

[Fire Style- Blazing Phoenix Slash]

Caw!

The Phoenix burst into flames but these flames didn't even touch Kim. Instead, they let his blade pass as he slashed his imaginary enemy. The intense heat from the flames and the sharp slash injured his imaginary enemy.

Kim put his blade toward the ground and retreated several meters.

"Umm.... Why is he retreating as if he was running away from his enemy?" Looking at a huge space that could be used for attack, Yeosho spoke. She didn't understand why Kim needed to retreat instead of continuing from that position.

Because she left nearly six months ago, she was completely unaware of his ability.

Neyol and others understood it and explained.

"This is one of his inherent abilities. Actually, this ability was quite shameless at first but now, it had become an ability that could be used for training."

"Shameless?" Yeosho looked at them with confusion and asked.

"Yeah! He told us once. This ability had been inside his mind for a long time. This ability allows him to create a mental image of anything he thinks. Of course, unlike our mental image, it is much clearer and he could even move it for the training."

"But, the reason why it is shameless is that before he trained this ability, it allowed him to see the naked bodies of women in his mind."

Neyol explained with an embarrassed expression on her face.

"What?" Yeosho opened her mouth wide as she couldn't believe it as well.

But while they were discussing, Kim was completely focused on his training. Although he saw seven moves, he only used one because he planned to use the other moves with his other elements.

He withdrew his fire internal energy and released wind internal energy. The wind was invisible but because it was constantly moving, it created a spiral force around his blade.

He took a deep breath and raised his blade next to his face. At the same time, he held the hilt of his blade with both of his hands.

The power wind internal energy gathered in his foot and the next moment, his body dashed forward like the force of the wind.

When he reached that previous place, his foot paused and the blade slashed down. It moved so fast that the girls couldn't even see it. All they could see was the immense force tearing the air in front of him.

Only air could tear the air. It was proven with his sword.

[Wind Style- Wind of the Underworld]

The name represented the power of this slash. Once it is used, that blade will bring the soul of the person to the underworld. Of course, if he faced a stronger opponent, it would be impossible.

Once again, Kim returned to his original position and released Earth Internal Energy. Unlike fire and wind, this changes his blade entirely. It turned into a massive boulder with his blade in the middle.

He couldn't hold this sword with one hand alone so he had to use both of his hands. But unlike before, he was truly using both of his hands just to support his sword.

Although the boulder seemed small, it was extremely heavy. So, when Kim realized it, he took a deep breath and jumped forward.

Yes, he pushed his foot against the ground so hard that his body jumped forward and he raised his sword above his head with both of his hands.

[Earth Style- Mountain Crush Slash]

Bang!

The boulder crashed against the ground and the next moment, the blade got out of it. The boulder turned to dust. His body was slightly crouched and the internal energy around his blade changed.

It turned into a splash of water. It was strange unlike other elements, the internal energy hadn't changed into water.

It was only when Kim pushed his foot against the ground, his body flew up. He spun in mid-air like a fairy and the blade changed as well. The massive water flowed around him, and the tip of the water changed into the dragon's head.

[Water Style- Sea Crushing Dragon]

Squeak!

The powerful water changed into a calm yet the strong flow of water slowly disappeared.

That strike only works when the dragon's head water flows around him.

These four are the moves that he created with four breathing techniques. And, he did it in less than half an hour.

This was his innate talent.
