Regression Is Too Much-Chapter 158

In the martial arts novels I used to read, there was this concept called “seongak-hutong*”—roughly explained as “Mental breakthrough/Enlightenment comes before physical mastery.” It means you awaken to a concept first, and then your body slowly catches up to that level of understanding. If you’ve read enough web novels, you’ll probably get what I mean.

“…”

But in my case, it was the opposite. Not realization before mastery, but rather mastery before realization. The more I circulated cold mana through my body, the more this strange sense of calm began to settle in. It felt like my body was gradually adapting to it. I couldn’t explain why, but something was definitely improving. If nothing had changed, I could’ve just accepted it and moved on—but with this constant sense of progress, I couldn’t bring myself to stop.

“…Is my body adapting? Or is it just the nature of the mana itself? Is it even something I can control?”

That annoying sensation—like I’m almost touching the answer but not quite. I couldn’t tell whether I was getting closer to the truth or just going in circles on the wrong path. Whether it was thanks to the elixir or my own talent, things were clearly improving. I just had no idea how.

In the end, I had to keep going. Maybe if I focused a little more, something new would emerge.

So I turned inward once again, concentrating on the flow of mana inside my body, gradually falling into a deep state of meditation.

Or at least, I tried to.

But something warm kept brushing against my senses.
