Chapter: 1631
One thousand, two thousand�

Pyo-wol locked himself in his room for two days, focusing solely on his meditation.

By the time he left his room on the third day, his injuries had been completely healed. However, since he had been meditating for two days straight, his body became completely thin from not being able to eat for the past few days.

Pyo-wol talked to a servant and asked him to bring food into the room. Since Pyo-wol paid the servant for doing him an errand, he happily delivered the food to his room.

He had not been able to eat for two days, so he needed to eat a lot of food to regain his strength. Pyo-wol chewed every last morsel of the food that the servant brought him.

Once his stomach was full, his complexion returned to normal, and his skin began to glow again.�

Pyo-wol pushed the plates aside and thought to himself,�

�Body Substitution.�2

As he regained his strength, his mind drifted back to his fight with the Black Cloud Corps.�

He had used Body Substitution to deceive Jang Muryang and take his life. At the time, he had done it out of improvisation, but as he looked back, he realized it was a subtle and clever move.�

�If I can improve the technique a little more, it will definitely become even more powerful.�

The key to this move was to trick the human eye.

He would have to move quickly and use the afterimage to lure and surprise his opponent.

Jang Muryang had been one to fall for such a trick.�

Jang Muryang�s martial prowess was undoubtedly great, but because of his subordinate�s deaths, his composure was massively shaken, leading him unable to make proper judgments, and ultimately, be killed helplessly.

The problem was if he found himself against real masters.

They would not be easily shaken or distracted by ordinary psychological warfare.

Just using Body Substitution is not enough to deceive them.�

He had to add something more.

Pyo-wol sat cross-legged and began immersing himself, thinking about Body Substitution.�

Once he thought up a subject, he would see it through to the end.

This was also how the Starving Demon, the martial art that he created, was born.

Pyo-wol continued to ponder how he could develop the Body Substitution technique.

�I need to strengthen the afterimage to make it feel more real.�

The first method that came to mind was adding internal energy.

By infusing internal energy into the residual image, he would be able to make it as if the afterimage was tangible, as if it had substance.�

If others knew what he was thinking, they would have thought he was crazy and told him to stop right away because of how unrealistic his thoughts were.

There was a concept in Taoism called the primordial spirit.3

A person who has reached the state of spiritual enlightenment can cultivate a primordial spirit, which is a condensed form of qi or energy. It would start off at about the size of a child, around six or seven years old, but would eventually grow larger according to the level of cultivation.

But Pyo-wol was not planning on cultivating a primordial spirit. JrNovels.com
