Chapter 52 One Year Later, Yeosho Nomu Part 2
[Test 2- Fight a phantom that has two times your strength
Reward- 10000 Gold Coins, Next Test
Punishment- Kicked out for a month]
Looking at the new box, Yeosho took a deep breath and prepared herself. Her palm was releasing lightning bolts, conducting an electromagnetic field around her.
Using it, she was manipulating the golden liquid in her palm.
Soon, the blue dots appeared and merged into a phantom. Seeing it, Yeosho instantly gathered her golden liquid into a spear and thrust forward.
[Sonic Burst]
The same move, the same power. But when it moved, the phantom quickly reacted and slammed the thunder spear against her golden spear.
Bang!
The sparks of lightning and gold burst out everywhere.
Yeosho was surprised by it but she didn\'t stop. She instantly called half of the spear and spread out her hands.
[Tri-Golden Spears]
The golden liquid separated into three small spears and moved toward the phantom at an insane speed.
The increased speed caused the phantom to lose its focus from the main spear. It condensed a giant lightning guard in front of the spears.
These guards were just like humans but made out of lightning. When they appeared, they instantly moved their hands to block those spears.
Bang!
Although the phantom had twice the power of Yeosho, it didn\'t have a brain. When it loosened the power against the main spear, it instantly pierced her chest.
Electromagnetic Field - Using the lightning, she could create a magnetic field around her and manipulate it unconditionally. Inside this field, she could increase the kinetic energy of a metal, thus enhancing its speed.
Sonic Burst was the result of this mechanism. It was Kim who taught her this. And, after using it for months, she had become quite proficient in it.
That\'s why she only used half of the spear to create those three mini spears. Because she could still control that main spear and use the magnetic field to increase its speed.
[Congratulation on passing the test]
Seeing it, Yeosho smiled. At this moment, there was a huge bag filled with gold coins. She quickly put the gold coins inside her spatial ring and thought.
\'Should I summon the beast before starting the next test? It seems like I get a ten-minute break so I could use it to summon a beast and make a contract with it.\'
\'Or, should I just wait? Although this phantom didn\'t have knowledge about my electromagnetic powers, it could record anything and learn from it.\'
\'That would make my opponent dangerous. I should summon a beast right now. Let\'s hope it can help me.\'
Yeosho nodded her head and took out the golden scroll. She opened the scroll and her eyes widened.
One Name!
There was only one name on the scroll.
Unlike most martial arts, Summoning Scrolls are key to making the contract with a summoned beast. To do so, you must have the summoning scroll.
Once you have it, you use your blood to write your name on it and use internal energy to call the summoned beast from a certain place.
Once called, either you directly make them your contract beast or pass their tests to make them your contract beasts. That was the rule of Summoning Scroll.
Yeosho knew most of the summoning beasts were either birds or powerful beasts. So, even if summoning scrolls are rare, it didn\'t mean there would be only one summoner per summoning scroll.
In fact, one summoning scroll could have several names.
So, seeing just one name, shocked her.
And, this name was actually Sung Ming, Martial Emperor. Her heartbeat couldn\'t stop at this moment.
She felt like it would jump out at any second.
Martial Emperor summoning beast?
Although she didn\'t know what exactly it was, she knew it must be awesome to become Martial Emperor summoning beast.
But, it also made her extremely serious. Because one of the main reasons there would be only one name was the test\'s difficulty.
If it was too difficult and nobody could pass it, then their names wouldn\'t be recorded on the scroll.
\'No matter what, I must pass the test. I must succeed in summoning a powerful beast.\'
She only thought for a moment and immediately bit her finger. After that, she wrote her name on the scroll, and it suddenly glowed.
The golden scroll illuminated golden light and it was so bright that Yeosho couldn\'t see anything for a moment.
Suddenly, her body vanished and appeared in a forest.
She didn\'t react immediately. Rather, she calmly looked around and saw a creature standing in front of her.
"Human, it seems like you have also come here for the contract."
When its voice reached her ears, she was frightened. The beast in front of her was none other than the legendary nine tails fox.
Suddenly, she remembered a legend about Emperor Sung Ming.
He once fought nearly thirty people with a strength similar to his for a whole month without getting exhausted. It was said that his internal energy was infinite.
She instantly became nervous. Although she hadn\'t heard about Nine Tails being Sung Ming\'s summoned beast, she knew about Legendary Nine Tails.
It was said that heaven gave birth to five eggs. From those five eggs, five Divine Beasts came to Murim World.
Legendary Nine Tails Fox! Divine Fire Dragon! Soaring Heaven Blue Phoenix! Celestial Ruler Elemental Lion! Death Brewing Viper!
These five beasts once ruled the Murim World. Their power was so strong that no one could ever subdue them.
But, a long time ago, a war between these five beasts and human creatures broke out. This war was so devastating that half of the human race was extinguished in a single day.
But, at that moment, one of them betrayed the other beasts. Legendary Nine Tails Fox betrayed his fellow monsters and helped humans to fight against them.
And, in that war, Emperor Sung Ming finally took the throne of the strongest man in the world.
\'It all makes sense.\'
Yeosho\'s eyes widened as she thought about it.
\'It truly makes sense. The summoning beast of the emperor must be the Legendary Nine Tails Fox. That might be the reason why humanity survived against them.\'
"Tch! I thought it was someone strong this time but it turned out to be a weakling once again."
Suddenly, she heard the arrogant voice of the nine tails and came out of her thoughts.
She quickly gathered her courage. Suddenly, she realized that although nine tails were legendary, they didn\'t have the pressure like Tengu.
When she realized it, she found that there was no pressure at all.
Seeing this, Nine Tails was surprised. It didn\'t expect the human to adjust so fast.
"Interesting! Then, show me what you can do. If you survived against my clone which has one-thousandth of my internal energy, I will become your contract summoning beast."
Hearing his condition, Yeosho was surprised. She thought she would have to fight against the nine tails himself.
She couldn\'t help but look at him suspiciously. Only when he created the clone of himself with his internal energy, she calmed down.
She looked at him and asked.
"Are you sure that you won\'t regret it?"
"Kakaka! What an amusing human you are. Do you know how many people have tried to make the contract with me? But none of them succeeded."
"Do you know why? Because even one-thousandth of my power is not something you can fight."
Nine Tails sneered at her and laughed. His arrogance wasn\'t wrong. After all, he was one of the five divine beasts.
"Alright, have it your way then."
Yeosho didn\'t hesitate to agree. After all, she knew this was probably an opportunity for her. No matter how strong the legendary nine tails might be, its one-thousandth power won\'t be strong enough to defeat her, right?
She instantly clenched her fist and spread out her spiritual power. But, suddenly she was dumbfounded.
"Where is my internal energy?"
She couldn\'t believe that her internal energy was just gone. There was no internal energy in her dantian at all.
"Tch! I forgot to tell you. This place directly seals your internal energy. So, you can\'t sense it even if it is inside your dantian."
"That\'s why you need to defeat my clone using your physical strength. If you don\'t have that strength, then I suggest you go back."
Nine Tails sneered and laid down. He wasn\'t interested in the battle because, from his perspective, this girl has no chance of winning at all.
After all, she didn\'t look like someone with physical strength.
Yeosho\'s expression turned ugly. She didn\'t expect this. She thought fighting one-thousandth of the nine-tails power was an opportunity for her, but she didn\'t expect it to end like this.
No wonder, nobody could make a contract with this beast even if they are geniuses from different sects. But, she wasn\'t devastated by it. Her fighting intent rose from her beast.
She looked at the small nine-tails with a strong desire to win. And, at this moment, the gust of spiritual energy suddenly moved toward her.
"It seems like training with Kim\'s master was a good choice. At least, I can put off a fight."
