“Ah!” Soon, Seol-Hwi gasped in admiration.
He saw the shadow's fists turn gray as they collected energy—then, the shadow began to use its fists.
The energy in its hands spread in both directions, smashing through walls and ceiling.
Even as an illusion, its bizarre destructive force could not be overlooked.

And now it was his.

Next is…

▷ White Light Demonic Arts (Learnt)

▷ Fiery Bare-Handed Demonic Arts (Learnt)

▶ Peak Flourishing Demonic Arts (Possible)

Seol-Hwi couldn't suppress his expectations: this was a great martial art, second to none.
It was also used by the Lord of the Supreme Pavilion fairly often; Seol-Hwi never could have imagined acquiring this kind of power before.

▶ Peak Flourishing Demonic Arts ▶ Explosive Flaming Force

The shadow appeared once again, wielding a sword this time.
The blood points were drawn on the body, and energy traced a path from point to point.

Then, the shadow's sword struck.

The energy exploded outward like a mighty tidal wave.
It punched clean through wall after wall without slowing down.

Seol-Hwi worked hard in the basement.

“Learnt” doesn't mean “Implemented”—not perfectly, at least.
Surely he would become stronger when he mastered it, so he tried his best to change the text.

It was obvious after comparing against the shadow: even though he'd learnt all three with the help of the system, he couldn't match the energy the shadow released.
Even when he used the White Light Demonic Arts, he could only scrape the walls and ceilings, not break them.

Probably because of:

Internal Energy: 80/250

If he could generate a greater internal flow, he might one day use the same force the shadow did.

Well.

-Swordsmanship (Imitation)

-Fist (Imitation)

-Footwork (Imitation)

At least he'd gained all the options from one art this time around.

Six days passed.

A middle-aged man came down to the basement the day Seol-Hwi was supposed to enter the Military Academy.

“Seol-Hwi, was it? I am Goeun.
The Earth Demon asked me to guide you.”

Seol-Hwi removed his sword and was about to pay his respects.

“Take this.” Goeun offered him a gray pill.

Huh?

“It's a pill.
Just one will give you ten years worth of internal energy.”

“But such a precious—”

“Don't say anything.
This is the minimum you would need to survive there.”

“Thank you.” Seol-Hwi didn't ask any more questions and just swallowed the pill.
He knew he had to get stronger.

Health: 205(↑85)/205

Internal Energy: 2,250 (↑2,000)/2,250

Such luck! Seol-Hwi's expression brightened.
His stat had gone up by a whole 2,000, but that wasn't all.

-You have mastered Mind-Reading!

What? He'd never even seen this ability before.

-Mind-Reading (Obtained) (New)

○Description: Understand others' Status; Strengthens your perception.

Is this because of my increase in internal energy? It seemed that when certain conditions were met, stronger abilities were created.
Seol-Hwi was obviously delighted by this unexpected boon.
