〈Episode 648〉 Composition (九成).
I don’t have any great memories.
One day, his younger sister ran away to the Central Plains, and he himself appeared in a distant land to catch her.
Questions followed.
Why did the princess, who was supposed to stay in the palace according to the oath, have to go all the way to the Central Plains?
Yucheon, who was relatively young at the time, could not understand it.
In the distant future.
It was only when he realized that it was the father’s love for his daughter that he began to understand the former princess.
Even so, Yoochun would not have been able to make such a choice.
Because she was closer to a princess than to her father.
The Central Plains was hot at that time.
Did you say it was summer?
The extremely hot weather had many meanings for Yucheon.
It was a weather where I didn’t have to wear thick fur coats and the cold inside my body felt a little better. It was truly a mysterious sight.
Should I say that I felt a brief glimpse of lost romance?
Although the expression on the face of the princess at that time remained dark, the princess at that time, who had become the second daughter, felt extremely excited.
New land.
Hot heat.
People who look a little relaxed.
All of this came as a mystical experience to Yucheon.
at least.
Until I met him.
Kuung–!!
thud-!!
A huge wave crashes down from the distant direction of Mt. Taishan.
The current ruler of the Central Plains is said to be an old man called Geomjon (劍尊).
The King of the North Sea was now confronting him with force.
He had not even formally visited the Central Plains, so friction arose and a battle had to be fought.
at that time.
The princess was facing another man.
[Meet the Little Princess of the North Sea.]
He is a man with black hair and red eyes.
He is similar in age to me.
The man, wearing a light blue cloak that proved his affiliation, was looking at Yucheon while carrying a backpack on his back.
Yoochun was also locking eyes with the man.
Not long after, the man introduced himself to Yucheon.

[I am the new dragon leader of the Murim Alliance, Gu Cheol-un.]
A sense of alertness naturally arises.
The cold inside my body somehow created hostility.
Since I didn’t feel anything from my opponent, my instincts just raised my energy on their own.
Kuung—!!!
A loud noise spreads from Mount Tai in the north.
Hearing this, Yucheon frowned and said.
[Get out of the way.]
The current leader and my father, the princess, are fighting.
There was work to be done inside.
I will kill the blood relatives of Murong Jia who took my sister away and bring my sister back.
That was the order given to Yucheon.
In response to Yoocheon’s reaction, Gu Cheol-woon said:
[That can’t be.]
His expression was clearly indifferent.
[Your sister has already become a member of the Murong family. As the leader of the clan, I must protect the Murong family’s personnel. Therefore, I cannot step aside.] [You dare to block my path. Is that what you mean?]
Yoo Chun laughed at Gu Cheol Woon’s attitude.
[We don’t care about the name of the place called Maeng. We just do business according to the laws of the North Sea.] [I don’t know anything about the laws of the North Sea.] [So? Are you telling me to follow what you say?] [No. Since you are outsiders, there is no need to follow the laws of the Central Plains.]
Kkwadddddddd—!!!
The wind pressure gradually increases.
Yoochun felt impatient inside and out with his frowning expression.
[It just means that each person has to do their own role.]
Gu Cheol-woon looked at Yu-cheon with his eyes wide open.
[This lord cannot avoid it. There is something you must find, so take it if you wish.] [Huh?]
Take it wherever you want.
It felt like he was full of the feeling that he could never break through. It was an arrogant and heavy statement.
That tone of voice keeps irritating Yuchun.
[You, do you really think that an old man like Geomjon can defeat the princess?] [Huh?]
Gu Cheol-woon tilted his head at Yoo-chun’s words. His expression showed that he couldn’t understand.
Looking at that expression, Yoochun was convinced.
As expected, these guys don’t know anything.
[No matter how great the Central Plains guys are, they are only human at best. You can’t beat us.]
Thinking back now, it was an embarrassing tone.
I said that because at that time I thought the world was my own.
That’s why I regret it.
If I had known just a little more about the world, I wouldn’t have had memories like this.
[The princess will soon come here after killing that old man. Then you will finally meet your death. You had better get out of the way before that happens.] [Hmm.]
Despite Yoo-chun’s words, Gu-cheol-woon continued to tilt his head.
I felt like no matter how much I listened, I couldn’t understand.
Gu Cheol-woon, who had been wondering that question several times, seemed to have no idea and spoke to Yoo-chun.
[Let me ask you. Are you so weak?] [What?] [Why do you think you won’t be able to break through the main gate until the princess arrives?] […!]
Yoo-cheon swallowed his breath at Gu Cheol-woon’s words.
Because it was unexpected.
I know.
Why? Why did he think he would wait until the princess arrived?
While Yoo-cheon’s body froze, Gu-cheol-woon continued talking without paying attention.

[Also, there is something you are mistaken about. I need to correct that as well.]
thud-!!
thud-!!
The terrain continues to break down as the absolutes fight. Gu Cheol-woon said, looking in that direction.
[Even if the leader is defeated, you won’t be able to achieve what you want.] [… What did you say…?] [As long as the leader stands with both eyes open, this will be your last step.] […]
Yoochun had to be silent for a moment at those words that were said so casually.
Because he didn’t understand what he was being told.
[…What did you say?] [You seem to be very hard of hearing.]
Gu Cheol-woon’s brow furrows slightly at Yoo-chun’s reaction.
[I don’t really like saying things twice…]
Swish.
Gu Cheol-woon untied the load he was carrying.
At that moment, a bare hand came into view.
[You can’t pass through here. If you don’t want to die, get out now…] […!] [Is it easier to understand if I say it this way?] [You…!]
The moment when Yoochun crumples his expression and starts to boil over at Gu Cheol-woon’s words.
Hurrrurr—!!!
Flames rose from Gu Cheol-woon’s body.
The surrounding area becomes extremely hot.
The flames were terribly red.
It looks like blood is burning, but it is not a light.
At that reaction, Yoochun raised his head without realizing it.
[The sky…!]
The blue sky gradually turns red.
While I was still puzzled by the strange phenomenon.
[What are you doing?]
Gu Cheol-woon’s voice was heard.
[Aren’t you coming?]
When Yoochun lowered his head again at the sound of the voice.
[Then I will go.]
Already, Gu Cheol-woon’s large hand was approaching Yu-cheon’s face.
At that moment, I was about to take a pose while looking at my hands.
Crash-!!
Yucheon’s consciousness gradually came back to life along with an unknown sound.
Clap-! Crack-!!
-… Isn’t that hitting too hard?
-There’s nothing better than this for waking you up.
I hear a sound. Whose voice is it?
-What if my teeth break?
-I don’t know.
-hmm?
-It wasn’t something I did. Who knew that cavities were there to begin with?
-Disciple.
-yes?
-You are really crazy.

– Isn’t it all thanks to having a good teacher? Just kidding. Please take your hands off me.
For some reason, Yoochun’s eyes slowly open to the murderous conversation.
It wasn’t because of the sound. It was because I strangely felt pain on my face.
“Ugh… .”
Yuchun opened his eyes and let out a pained cry.
“Oh, I opened my eyes. Look at that. This is a direct hit, I said. Why can’t you trust what people say?”
“… No, why is this happening?”
Yuchun looked up at the surprised voice that came from in front.
Someone was looking at him with their hand slightly raised.
Facial features come into view beyond the blurry vision.
Black hair, slightly visible blue eyes, and sharp eyes that look like they just came from seeing me.
Looking at that, Yuchun said.
“… Gu Cheol-woon?”
“Huh?”
The face of the person whose name was called in memory crumpled.
“I don’t think you’ve come to your senses yet. Should I touch you a little more? No, should I touch you?”
“Changing the words doesn’t make the meaning softer.”
The person who stopped the young man from the side was also a young man of similar age.
I would say it has a somewhat harmful look.
Yucheon raised his upper body, barely able to regain his senses.
“Ugh…!”
But, my physical condition wasn’t very good.
It wasn’t in great condition to begin with, but it shouldn’t have been this painful.
I feel excruciating pain all over my body.
“It would be better to move slowly. There will be a lot of broken places.”
“… Phew… .”
Yoochun looks at the owner of the voice.
I thought it was Gu Cheol-woon. It wasn’t.
“… Old Prince… .”
It was not he, but his son.
“Are you okay?”
Gu Yang-cheon, son of Gu Cheol-un.
Yoochun did not answer his question.
I was mistaken.
Not only were their facial features similar, but something was different.
Advertisements
That’s why I mistook him for Gu Cheol-woon for a moment.
“Can I ask what happened?”
“Day…?”
“I heard that the princess was eaten by Bingjeong.”
You were eaten by Bingjeong?
At those words, Yoochun suddenly remembered the situation just before.
Clearly, he was with Bingjeong.
It seems that he was watching Bingjeong for a while right after Guyangcheon left.
Why did you do that? I don’t know why.
But Yucheon had to stay where he was.
As time passed, the ice crystal began to emit light… .
yet.
“Ugh… .”
Stick-!
Yoochun covered his forehead with a headache.
“Phew… phew.”
Yucheon, no, Binggungju, breathed slowly, enduring his headache.
Air seeped in through my nose and mouth.
Feeling that, the princess’s eyes widen slightly.
“… This is?”
The air felt strange.
I didn’t feel the sense of incongruity that I usually felt.
No, I don’t feel it. Should I say I feel a sense of alienation?
“Ahem.”
When Binggungju reacted as if she sensed something, Gu Yangcheon, who was in front of her, let out a cough.
“Khuhmm… big… .”
I could see his gaze moving around as if he was being stabbed somewhere.
“No, well… you don’t have to think about it. First, you don’t look very well, so go get some treatment first.”
Goyangcheon seems to be trying to change the subject by force, and starts supporting the princess.
Seeing that, Paejon next to him looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.
Gu Yangcheon looked at Paejon urgently, wondering if he might say something.
“What are you doing? If you have two hands, you can carry that lump… No, at least the Black Lion General.”
“You beat me to a pulp and now you want me to carry you?”
“What? It was just a minor accident.”
“If you have two accidents, you’ll be in trouble.”
Advertisements
“Isn’t it true that if an accident happens twice, it’s a disaster?”
“…”
It was a strangely fitting statement.
At this, Paejon sighs and turns away.
Then he turned his face slightly and spoke to Guyangcheon.
“By today. Explain everything.”
“…”
Guyangcheon nodded at the firm tone.
After checking the reaction, Pajeon started walking towards the black lion.
“hmm?”
Someone was already carrying the black lion.
It was Seongyul.
“Can we leave now?”
Paejon nods his head as he sees Seongyul speaking with a blank face.
Even though I didn’t ask him to, he was perceptive and quick-witted.
When you look at his attitude, he seems to be the type that quietly does his work and doesn’t complain.
‘There are guys like that. I don’t know why my disciple ends up like that.’
The man who was barely saved in his later years does not listen to anyone, has a bad temper, and has no respect for his teacher.
It seemed like there weren’t many blessings for disciples.
‘… If only the talent I had was a little bit sloppy, I would have kicked your butt right away.’
What that guy had was enormous.
When I first saw it, I thought it was a bit hard to understand given its level of skill.
The guy who hadn’t even reached the age of maturity had reached his peak, and after a while, he reached the peak.
In Maeng’s case, it seemed like he had hidden this fact for some reason, and he himself didn’t seem to care much.
It is safe to say that this is the youngest person to have reached this point in history.
Although he was a genius of all time, Guyangcheon had no confidence or faith for some reason.
Likewise, his talent for martial arts did not seem to be that great, so Paejon also had doubts.
However, what was important was how much pain one could endure while practicing the Tuapacheonmu and the body’s ability to accept it.
Pazon had turned off his nerves about this.
What if it’s a little lacking?
If it doesn’t work, just make it work.
Several years passed with that thought.
By now, even Paejon’s thoughts had changed.
‘That guy is a genius.’
I am sure.

Although he may be somewhat lacking in martial arts, he possesses a strange level of control when it comes to dealing with bets.
He may not seem to know it yet, but his level is so high that even the Emperor is surprised.
It seemed like he had no idea how difficult it was to start and extinguish a huge fire.
In the case of explosive martial arts like chemical warfare, you cannot even begin to learn them unless you have talent.
That means it is a high-difficulty martial art in terms of betting usage.
Just because you have a lot of bets doesn’t mean you can’t emit air pressure.
If you explode like that in an instant, there’s no way your danjeon will remain intact.
However, Guyangcheon focuses on or controls firepower without any concern.
However, he also guided her gently so that she would not be put under any strain on her body.
Moreover, if the amount of water in the Guyangcheon River is so large that it seems strange, this should be even more difficult.
‘He looked fine.’
As the quantity increases, it increases.
If it doesn’t exist, then it doesn’t exist.
Gu Yangcheon seemed to have no difficulty with this.
Paejon felt a trembling rising inside him as he watched the sight that Guyangcheon had shown him just before.
The energy pouring in from all directions.
A vast amount that one human could possibly receive.
The violence of a bet that isn’t even your own, that’s it….
‘He controlled it without any problems.’
The sight was wondrous, even though I hated to admit it.
Even a slight misstep would have caused the energy to burst, and the explosion would have been so great that even the Pajeon could not stop it.
On that blade, Goyangcheon danced as if he was a genius.
They played around with the bet as if the sense of crisis was ridiculous. In the end, they all gathered in one place and stuffed it into their mouths.
‘That’s crazy.’
Pazon laughed as he recalled that.
Eighty and a little over.
It was a life that seemed long to others but short to me.
Living that kind of life, he was proud that no one was better than him in martial arts.
It’s the same now.
Pazon knew how much talent he had.
A few decades ago, you might have thought you were the best.
but.
It’s a little different now.
As I was looking at the scenery that Gu Cheol-un, the head of the Gu family, had briefly shown me and the disciple, various thoughts crossed my mind.
‘I can’t understand that family.’
Advertisements
What a coincidence, they are father and son with the same surname.
Could it be that the gods of heaven and earth have bestowed some kind of blessing on that family?
While it was absurd, expectations were also rising.
‘What would happen if my disciple realized his talent and time passed?’
I’m really curious about that, but I won’t tell you.
‘… I think it would be unpleasant to see you get so arrogant after telling me.’
I hate seeing people with low self-esteem struggling.
I hated seeing my shoulders grow bigger and hunched over.
‘You’ll find out soon anyway. I guess it’s better to leave it for now.’
This is something my father, Hohyeop, must have known, but he didn’t tell me.
Even though he is a teacher, there is no need for him to step forward.
‘But if you look at it that way, why didn’t the old man say anything?’
At that level, and as a father, he would have known his son’s talent better than anyone else. I was skeptical.
‘no way….’
As I think about it, I suddenly think of the devil.
‘You don’t think it’s a talent or anything like that, since it’s something you can do, right?’
Thinking about Gu Cheol-woon’s inaction, he felt a sense of hope, but Pae-jon shook his head and shook the thought away.
‘How could such an absurd thing happen?’
Even when I thought about it, it was so absurd.
Paejon taps Seongyul on the shoulder and starts walking.
Since there’s no one to come anyway, I’m going to just move to where the others are.
Saaaaaaaah-!
“hmm?”
Suddenly a shadow fell on the ground.
A shadow was cast over the surrounding people, and Paejon turned his gaze to the strange phenomenon.
It wasn’t just Paejon. Not only Seongyul, but even Guyangcheon was already looking at the cause in the shadows.
The only difference was that Guyangcheon was full of impressions.
“That fucking kid.”
Gu Yangcheon swore while looking at the sky.
“He wouldn’t come out even when I called him, but now that it’s all over, he’s finally crawling out.”
Krrrrrrung-.
At Guyangcheon’s words, the being that covered the sky let out a crying sound.
It was as rough as the howl of an animal, but it was much louder.
A being so huge that it covers the entire sky moves its body.
The long, thick body wiggles.
Advertisements
As the thing in the air came closer, Guyangcheon’s eyes narrowed.
“what?”
Something was strange.
Krrrrrrrr–!!
The ground shook with a loud cry. Seeing this, Guyangcheon said.
“…Why did he grow so big?”
The name is Ddoldol.
Age three.
The guy’s already large body had grown even bigger than before.
