The Frozen Player Returns

o opened his Inventory and checked his food.

‘If I eat sparingly, It’ll last a week.’

Just a week.
Still, he would have to go out after about five days.
After all, he couldn’t really just eat all the food he had and leave.

‘Five days.’

He had to learn the heart method in five days.
As such, Seo Jun-Ho closed his eyes and focused with all his might.

***

”He’s holding out pretty well… ”

The sect leader of Volcanic Wave, Kwak Won-San, shuddered.
He was a longtime subordinate and a reliable helper of Namgung Jincheon.
Naturally, he wasn’t really a fan of the imperial family.

”I have always said it, but you really have the tendency to worry too much.”

Namgung Jincheon laughed and scolded him.
Five days had already passed, but Seo Jun-Ho was still not moving as if he had built his own nest in the Imperial Palace.

”Isn ’t it a big problem if he ends up learning Cheon-Gwang’s martial arts? ”

”I already told you last time.” Namgung Jincheon turned his head.
”It won ’t happen, but it doesn ’t matter even if he does.
It ’s annoying, but we don’t have to be afraid of it.
The martial arts I have completed is incomparably stronger than that trivial thing.”

”Still… ”

“…”

’

Namgung Jincheon’s eyes narrowed, and Kwak Won-San closed his mouth at that.
The words he couldn ’t say hovered in his mind.

’Hundreds of years ago, Cheon-Gwang ’s martial arts is strong.
The Alliance Leader fought him before and ended up almost dying.’

The Alliance Leader judged that it was burdensome to face Cheon-Gwang head-on.
As the years passed, Cheon-Gwang eventually died, as Namgung Jincheon expected.
It was all because one couldn’t defy death regardless of the level of their martial arts.
It was a part of nature, after all.

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

’…Yes, let ’s believe. ’

Namgung Jincheon would soon become the god of this city, and he had been chosen by such a being.

”Anyway, what happened regarding Earth? ”

”Oh, it worked out better than I thought. ” Kwak Won-san grinned.
”We received the support of about four hundred Players from an organization called Climb. ”

”What ’s the price? ”

”None.
The organization we met from Climb was a Guild called Sky Soul, and they said that we don’t have to pay a price as long as their identities do not get leaked.”

”Hmm. ” Namgung Jincheon nodded.
He had already made a rough deduction of the situation.
He mumbled while arranging orchids.
”It seems that the tallest tree really catches the most wind no matter what. ”

Seo Jun-Ho had already been identified.
Information about him had long been gathered as well.
He was a Hero of Earth.
A legendary Player who had saved the world.
He had countless admirers, but he also had many enemies.

‘That is the destiny of the outstanding.’

Namgung Jincheon thought he could understand Seo Jun-Ho a bit.

”It seems that he’s too kind because he spared such enemies…”

“Perhaps he spared them because it’s bothersome to clean them up?”

“Well, I don’t know. ”

Namgung Jincheon smiled faintly.
Those at the summit could do practically everything they wanted, but he actually dared to spare his enemies?

‘He’s too soft.’

Namgung Jincheon spoke, ”Have you finished arranging the support Players? ”

”No, I was just about to do it. ”

”Send them all to the pub. ”

”…The pub?”

Kwak Won-san frowned.
The support Players had high levels, but they were weaker than the Murim Alliance’s elites.

”They won ’t be able to stop Seo Jun-Ho. ”

”It ’s fine. ”

Namgung Jincheon was sure of it.
Seo Jun-Ho wouldn’t be able to cut those Players down.

‘If he cuts them down…’ Namgung Jincheon revealed a strange smile.
‘It’ll still be fun.’

A hero ’s fall to depravity had always been a fun spectacle to watch.

”Contractor, let’s eat. ”

The Frost Queen brought the food she had piled up in one corner of the room and held them out to him.
Seo Jun-Ho then ate the dry food.

”Do not worry.
I do not know well either, but I know it is hard to learn martial arts in a short time.”

Seo Jun-Ho smiled weakly at the Frost Queen’s consolation.
In the end, he wasn’t able to learn the Black Moon Heart Method in just five days.

’

‘I had no idea that it would be this hard.’

He hadn’t slept in the past five days, and he only circulated his magic.
In this world, he did something called Qi circulation.
He was talented, so he had some achievements in it, but that was it.

‘The effectiveness of the Black Moon Heart Method is supreme.’

Based on his experience, he thought it deserved at least an A-grade rating.
The issue was that he couldn’t continuously use it.

’Cheon-Gwang said it as well.
Using the Black Moon Heart Method should be as natural as breathing.’

Unfortunately, even the smallest distraction would ruin his Qi circulation through the heart method.
In fact, it was even difficult for him to walk while using the Black Moon Heart Method, let alone using it in the middle of a fight.

Seo Jun-Ho clicked his tongue.

‘Unfortunately, we’ve run out of food, so we have to move.’

He shook off his lingering feelings and stood up.
He frowned as he looked out through the window.

‘What’s going on?’

He thought that the net would become stronger over time, but the number of people involved in the net had decreased.
The net had also become looser compared to five days ago, and it seemed as if the net was telling him to hurry up and leave.

”Hmm, that is suspicious, ” said the Frost Queen while standing on Wisoso.

”It ’s definitely suspicious, ” replied Seo Jun-Ho.

Seo Jun-Ho could use Night Walking and scour the city.
It meant that he could go anywhere aside from the Murim Alliance.

‘They’re not going to block me?’

He couldn’t see the sect leaders of the Ten Great Families whom he had seen at the conference the Alliance Leader had thrown.
Most of those surrounding the imperial palace were first-grade martial artists.
Of course, there were hundreds of them, so they couldn’t be trifled with.
However, Seo Jun-Ho had Night Walking.

”Perhaps he thinks that you cannot maintain your Night Walking for very long? ”

”If it’s like that, then I would be glad, but…”

Seo Jun-Ho didn’t think that Namgung Jincheon was that naive and sloppy.
He thought about it for a moment before moving downstairs.

”Contractor, have you decided on your destination? ”

”First, let’s take a look around the pub area. ”

If the opponent were not a fool, he would have certainly placed the sect leaders there.

”If I see a gap, I ’ll go downstairs through there.”

”What if you cannot find any gaps? ”

”In that case…”

He would have no choice but to live the life of a fugitive.

Seo Jun-Ho activated Cloning.

”Jun-Sik, I’ll leave it to you. ”

”You always call me when you ask me for things like this, but you don ’t even buy me food when I’m done. ” Seo Jun-Sik pouted his lips.
However, he still stretched his neck and said, ”But since the Original is asking, I can’t help it.
Who else could do this other than me? ”

Seo Jun-Sik kicked the imperial palace’s door open, and hundreds of pairs of eyes were immediately drawn to his body.
Seo Jun-Sik grabbed one of his legs with a scornful look and wriggled his eyebrows.

”What? Is it your first time seeing someone so handsome? ”

“My god… ”

Seo Jun-Ho had told Seo Jun-Sik to attract their attention, not to kick up such a fuss.

The Frost Queen held her belly and laughed.
“Who cares? As long as it works.”

”Yeah, it’s definitely effective.”

Hundreds of martial artists started chasing after Seo Jun-Sik with fire in their eyes.
