Chapter 94
The Dignity of Poison
I closed my eyes tightly.
An increase of 300 Trial Points.
Having obtained such a sweet reward.
Now, the time had come to pay the corresponding price.
“Kheu-eum.”
My tongue gradually swelled, and my esophagus began to prickle.
A boiling sound came from my throat.
It felt hot, as if I were drinking high-proof liquor.
“Tsk tsk, don’t be too afraid. From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like a terribly potent poison… Back in my day, I used to drink acidic poisons strong enough to melt iron lumps while laughing.”
The Old Man’s hand touched my back.
Even as a ghost, the sensation felt incredibly warm.
“Now, recite the mnemonic verses I taught you.”
Energy began to move actively from below my abdomen.
“The Supreme Clarity Heart Method only exhibits its true performance when one can fully control their mind. Trust in the clear energy of the Supreme Clarity. Trust in it and drive out the poison rampaging within your body.”
Driving out poison.
It was my first time doing this.
Since meeting the Old Man, I had never been poisoned even once.
‘But.’
The energy within my body was strong.
Why worry, it seemed to say, are you afraid after eating something like this?
It advanced boldly and collided with the poison.
“Oho.”
A deep smile spread across the Old Man’s face.
“It seems you’ve been diligently practicing all this time. For a mere youngster, you’re moving more smoothly and easily than I expected.”
“Except when sleeping… eating… or training… I’ve been doing it non-stop.”
I replied with a boiling voice.
