Hellish training began.

In Paradise, the ‘mind’ referred to one’s wisdom, mentality, talent, and so on; the ‘technique’ referred to one’s ability and skills; and the ‘body’ referred to one’s physical level and physique, including their mana.

The state of Seol Jihu’s mind was entirely up to his control, and he had spent quite a bit of time training his body so far.

The problem was with his technique. Originally, his technique was at the highest level of the three elements.

The problem was that no matter how high-ranked his techniques were, they were useless if he didn’t use them properly.

After realizing his flaw, Seol Jihu couldn’t help but think that his technique had fallen behind the most.

So for this training, he set his goal to re-examine the technique he had been neglecting.

“Now!”

Jang Maldong shouted at the top of his voice.

At the same time, Phi Sora, who was standing apathetically to the side, swung a bucket she was holding in her hand.

The colorful stones sitting inside the bucket shot out...
