Episode 1118 We’ve got it all ready! (3)
“Ryaaaaaaa!”
Baekcheon struck down the flying sword in one go.
The sword, which was heavily coated with poison strong enough to put a person into a coma just by brushing against it, was unable to overcome the power contained in the sword and bounced high into the sky.
“⋯⋯I guess I understand roughly.”
“Iknow, right.”
Baekcheon held his sword tightly and looked at the people standing in front of him.
“So this training… isn’t just about adapting?”
I learned this while fighting Danga, Namgung, and Nokrim. Even though they fought so hard, their actual combat experience was still lacking.
To be precise, I have a lot of experience in peer-to-peer battles, but my experience in group battles is extremely lacking. In particular, when several groups with different tendencies come together and start fighting, they end up not being able to use even half of their abilities.
This is probably what Cheongmyeong saw in his eyes. So, they must have given you this kind of training.
And this time too, Cheongmyeong’s move had a clear effect. The more I fought, the more I quickly understood how to fight this melee. The saying that the body understands and moves before the mind understands may be referring to cases like this.
Yeah, good. Everything is good. The problem is…
‘It means we’re not the only ones going through that.’
These gentlemen are absorbing not only their experience in group warfare but also their actual combat experience through this training alone. You become stronger day by day and sharper day by day.
So much so that Baekcheon, who was dealing with it, was shocked.
‘Is this how people felt when they saw us?’
It was a very unique experience to watch these people grow visibly right in front of me. Especially when you touch swords and feel the growth with your own body, the emotions are doubled.
Watching him grow was both rewarding and at the same time aroused a sense of crisis. The will to never be caught up was suddenly ignited.
This was definitely a good thing.
⋯⋯If only their ‘skills’ are growing.
“But… this is a little…”
Baekcheon looked at the people slowly approaching him.
It is completely understandable that Dangpae is holding a sword in both hands and smiling bitterly. In the first place, for the Tang family, this training began to overcome Hwasan.
But…
“Hmm.”
Namgung Do-wi-na slowly comes to me with an expression that feels a little uncomfortable but can’t be helped…
“Hehehehe…”
Isn’t the case of Lim So-byeong, who openly approaches me with a face that says, ‘You bastard got sick,’ a little different?
“Over there…”
Baekcheon secretly raised his hand. And he spoke vaguely to those who approached him.
“For some reason… the meaning of training seems to be fading a little…?”
“ah?”
“⋯⋯Wasn’t this a melee?”
“ha ha ha.”
The person who received those words was none other than Lim So-byeong.
“Oh my, it looks like our Baekcheon Dojo is misunderstanding something.”
“yes?”
“⋯⋯Does this still look like a water lily? huh?”
Baekcheon trembled as he saw Lim So-byeong growling openly.
“No, well… if you think about it, isn’t it training?”
However, the party faction seemed to have a different opinion than that lowly Sapa bastard. Indeed, the noble family of Sacheondangmun…
“Training is training. “A training program where you can enjoy the volcano alone.”
“⋯⋯.”
No, no. The party card is a little colder. Well… if you think about it, the bad feelings must have built up even more.
“I said we should have some fun together… but you are narrow-minded. “100,000 seals.”
“So, did you poison the rice we ate yesterday?”
“ha ha ha. “Isn’t it the volcano that taught us not to choose any means possible when dealing with our enemies?”
“But that’s still the case…”
Namgung Dowi, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.
“Don’t misunderstand, Baekcheon Dojo. “There are no hard feelings at all.”
“⋯⋯.”
“This is just a strategic decision. They just get mixed up and fight, and only Volcano keeps winning, right? There is nothing as foolish as repeating a losing war. “Isn’t that right?”
That’s right, Nangong Sogaju. Of course it is.
But for those words to sound persuasive, I think you need to move that swinging sword to the side a little before speaking… Is it an illusion that the sword keeps flinching, which seems to be an expression of its unwillingness to stab me in the neck?
“It must have been fun so far.”
“You must have felt very refreshed after winning.”
“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to slowly taste the bitter taste of defeat. We have tasted it enough to become stronger. “I say all this with volcanoes in mind.”
“Just put saliva on your mouth…”
“ha ha ha. “Even jokes.”
Namgung Dowi joked and cut off Baekcheon’s waist.
“A volcano would have no problem taking on all three of us at the same time.”
“Is there a problem?”
“Ahm. I guess so. “Because it is none other than a volcano.”
“⋯⋯There’s a problem? hey?”
Baekcheon flinched back, sweat pouring down his face. Accordingly, the other Hwasan disciples who were guarding around him also quietly retreated, holding their swords tightly.
But you are surrounded on three sides, and there is a fortress blocking your back, so where can you go? In the first place, wasn’t this a battlefield where there was no strategic retreat?
“I finally understand the deep teachings of the Cheongmyeong Dojo.”
“Are you saying that if you want to win, you have to hit the head first?”
“The head here is a volcano?”
There was madness in the eyes of the three people leading each sect. He may be trying to maintain some respect, but there is no mercy in his eyes. The determination to strike down the volcano immediately is burning like wildfire.
Baekcheon burst into laughter.
‘⋯⋯bastards.’
It’s great to see their skills improving. Because volcanoes can also be motivated by seeing them. But…
“Being this dirty and mean is crossing the line!”
“Screw you!”
“Crush it!”
“It went well today! “You volcano bastards!”
The allied forces of Dangga, Namgung, and Nokrim, formed in an instant, attacked Hwasan. The faces of Hwasan disciples turned blue when they saw these people rushing in like a wave of water.
“come!”
“Damn you bastards!”
“hey! “Stop it, stop it!”
“Ahh! “Don’t spray poison first!”
The volcano resisted fiercely, but the three factions, determined to take this opportunity to crush the volcano completely, rushed forward without looking back.
“Step on it!”
“It’s revenge for my comrades who died by your sword!”
“I didn’t kill you, you bastard!”
“What do you know!”
In the midst of the chaos, a ray of sadness appeared in Baekcheon’s heart.
Cheongmyeong… They say it’s the volcanicization of the entire central region, but isn’t this the clearing of the entire central region? I’m not sure if this is really okay. huh? Cheongmyeong…
Meanwhile, one side of the training center.
Cheongmyeong, who was watching the training center that clearly showed the heartless reality of power, threw the bean in his hand into his mouth.
“They’re having fun.”
Kids grow up fighting, right?
“Are you going to be okay?”
“What?”
“It looks like the volcano is getting hit?”
Cheongmyeong chuckled at Tanggunak’s words.
“Those bastards have been feeling a bit full of air in their lungs lately, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take this opportunity to get some air out of them.”
“haha.”
Tang Gunak laughed out loud and looked at Cheongmyeong.
“haha. “A funny joke…”
But I couldn’t finish speaking. This was because Cheongmyeong was not smiling at all.
“⋯⋯Isn’t this a joke?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Hmm.”
Tanggunak cleared his throat slightly. Although it was only for a moment, I looked down on Cheongmyeong a little.
Cheongmyeong said harshly.
“I know that kids are tough these days.”
“I know you’re strong…”
Tanggunak held the sue.
Now Hwasan is dealing with Dangga, Namgung, and Nokrim at the same time. Of course, they were being pushed back, and the three forces were not the full strength of each faction, but the important thing was that they were dealing with each other anyway.
If we call them children too, then where on earth are there people in this midfield who are not children?
“I think your standards for evaluation are excessively high.”
“The evaluation standards for the midfield are excessively low.”
“Maybe so.”
Tanggunak, who was looking at the training ground again as if he had said everything he wanted to say, opened his mouth insinuatingly without turning his gaze.
“Are you going to be okay?”
It’s the same question, but this time the meaning is different. And Cheongmyeong nodded as if he understood what it meant.
“It’s not something to save.”
“But Jasodan is not a spiritual order that can be easily wasted. “It might have a greater effect if used in a volcano.”
“If everyone gets stronger by eating up spiritual orders, the emperor will be the strongest in the world. Or perhaps the merchants are the strongest.”
“That’s true too…”
What is important is harmony.
There is a limit to the profits that can be gained from spiritual practice. In general, if you do not take spiritual training, your level of martial arts will be higher than your internal power. Therefore, if you take Yeongdan, your martial arts will increase dramatically.
However, once you have a certain level of experience, being a spiritual leader is of no particular use. If this had not been the case, each sect would have given Yeongdan to the highest leader of the sect rather than the late Jisoo.
“The volcanoes are so obsessed with it that it doesn’t mean anything anymore.”
“Of course that’s true. Yes, that’s right. But…”
Tang Kun-Ye turned his gaze and looked straight at Qingming.
“Aren’t they the last to become Hwasan’s disciples?”
Cheongmyeong also kept his mouth shut at those words. Tanggunak sighed softly and spoke as if he had made up his mind.
“As you probably know, ice crystals and blackberry plants do not grow infinitely. The yield of ice crystals has already dropped dramatically in the North Sea. And since you’ve been digging it up so hard, it’s probably right to assume that only a very small amount will be available in the future. Otherwise, use low-quality ice crystals.”
“Umm…”
“It’s the same thing with baby grass. In the past, herbaceous plants were not that difficult to obtain. But now, doesn’t it only grow naturally in certain places in Yunnan? “The number of things that cannot even be grown is decreasing day by day.”
“Mmm.”
Cheongmyeong scratched his head. This statement is actually not wrong. Looking at the situation in Beihai and Yunnan, it is clear that the weapon called Jasodan will soon run out of effectiveness.
“Perhaps this may be the last class you will make. But are you going to give that precious Jasodan to them? “Aren’t they the descendants of the volcano?”
“⋯⋯.”
“There is no way Jang Mun-in doesn’t know this fact. And the disciples will soon find out. “This is not a matter to judge so easily.”
Tang Gunak continued speaking with a stern expression.
“If Jasodan is utilized well, Hwasan may be able to solidify its position as the best swordsman in the world, not only for the next generation, but perhaps even for future generations. However, if that Jasodan is used up like this, there will no longer be any elixir left that will bring glory to the volcano for generations to come. “Are you really sure you won’t regret that decision?”
While listening to the story, Qingming did not say anything. He just makes an expression that makes it difficult to guess his true intentions.
