The first time I got inspiration about this was.
Right after sparring with the White Lotus Sword Lord, at the moment when I was briefly conversing with Father.
Father clearly said to grasp what rotation means in the Gu Flame Wheel Art, not compression.
What does the wheel (輪) signify.
Furthermore.
What is the meaning contained in the Gu Flame Wheel Art itself.
Purely a flame art that produces flames.
One life lived thinking that way.
That passed, and now it’s the second life.
With just that one thing Father told me, a different world was being drawn in my mind.
Perhaps.
The Gu Flame Wheel Art is not simply about producing flames.
But isn’t the focus on rotating that rapidly.
Not creating a ring with flames and emitting heat from inside.
But by rapidly rotating the ring, the flames come as a bonus.
Once the center of thought changed, the attitude toward mastering and expressing the martial art also changed.
Rotation.
Hence, wheel (輪).
Starting from that thought, I advanced step by step.
Rather than emitting huge flames, I tried to use flames that rotate more.
No matter which martial art of the Gu family I used, I tried to pay attention to rotation within it.
Several years living like that.
It was a thought that came to mind while training to use Flame Prison a bit more intensely.
The Flame Prison compressed in the hand, rotating the flames.
I stared at it blankly and then whoosh, threw it into the air.
Kwaang-!
While watching the Flame Prison explode in the air, a strange sentiment arose.
The difference between the Flame Prison Father threw and the one I created and threw.
Not just thinking about the power.
There was clearly a difference in Father’s martial art.
There would be a difference in realm, but there would also be a difference in the rotation rate contained there.
‘Hmm.’
The compression taught by Elder Shin.
And the rotation of Flame Prison.
While staring at this blankly. Something I wanted to try arose.
It’s a fundamental question.
Flame Prison is a martial art used with explosion in mind, but if I add more rotation, the power becomes…
