    *** ***

    The training of Sajo was not easy.

    I was proud that my physical training was on par with that of any other martial artist, but Sajo’s training was so harsh that even my body was pushed to its limit every day.

    But somehow I endured it.

    “Do you want to rest? If you want to rest, rest. However, the departure time of those waiting for you will be delayed.”

    Rather than saying that I endured it, I might say that the trend forced me to stand up.

    “When Jeongcheol appears in front of you, are you going to lie down like that again?”

    Sajo cowardly used fact violence, and I had no choice but to raise my fallen body from the bombardment of facts.

    He strengthened his physical strength by using the agdaguni and performed the tasks given by Sajo. I squeezed until I didn’t have the strength to even lift a finger, and I only blinked once while lying on the bed, and countless days passed by when dawn came.

    One day, when Sajo was swinging Seohak’s Chagam sword, rolling, breaking and falling like crazy, Sajo lost his luck.

    “The basic human action is walking. Even if a person is exhausted and tired, if he or she is not injured, he or she can still walk. The basics of martial arts are swinging weapons. A person who can somehow wield a weapon, no matter how tired and tired he is, can be said to truly have the basics.”

    It was a random remark, but I understood Sajo’s words.

    This means that my physical strength has reached a level that Sajo is satisfied with due to my training so far.

    Why do I talk so vaguely that the foundation has been laid now? It’s difficult to understand.

    Sigh!

    As I was muttering to myself, a chestnut flew onto my forehead.

    “I can see you thinking profane thoughts.”

    “Ugh!”

    While rolling around on the floor in pain, Sajo’s declaration continued.

    “Starting tomorrow, in addition to basic training, we will learn Dansa Paegeom and Chilreo Bangwibo. In addition, you will learn various skills so that you can become a prosperous warrior.”

    The training became more and more harsh.

    Although it was not easy to digest the basic skills of Dansa Paegeom and Chilreobangwibo, which can be considered advanced martial arts, it was the easiest of all the training I had been doing since then.

    Sigh!

    “Aaagh!”

    I was able to distinguish between chestnuts using just my eyesight and would often get stabbed while trying to avoid them.

    Gooo!!

    I was holding my ears and groaning because I couldn’t control the output of my Cheongbeop training properly.

    “Above bubbung?”

    “When will this foolish student be able to distinguish poison?”

    While learning from Tang So-yeol how to distinguish poison dissolved in food, my tongue became paralyzed.

    “….Sajo, your arm isn’t moving?”

    “When I told you to stab me in the throat with the force of three pennies, where did you stab me?”

    Crunchy, crunchy, crunchy!!

    I also practiced the point-point technique, and in addition, I rolled on the floor countless times to learn advanced meditation techniques mixed with the Chukji technique.

    The days of literally breaking, rolling, and bursting.

    “Ahh..Do I have to be a bastard at this age!”

    slam!

    “Evil!”

    If he had not been treated for his wounds by being hit on the back by Sajo, he had to undergo difficult training that would be impossible to digest every day.

    As a warrior, the time I spent filling in the empty spaces and learning the Dansa Paegeom and Chilreo Bangwibo was a very long time.

    Heukmyo, who had learned the shaded qigong created by Sajo’s improved version of Heukyeong Qigong, was able to fully digest the oral sound technique, and Hyeokkirin, who was loved by Sajo and picked up various topics, was long enough to stand on the threshold of flower painting.

    As I watched the group progress, I became anxious.

    It’s good to strengthen the internal stability, but in the end, what matters is the level. If I had to choose between a climax that has substance and a transcendent climax that is a shell, I would choose the one that is a transcendent climax, even if it is just a shell.

    Although time had passed for the group to grow significantly, my level was still at its peak, so I couldn’t help but feel anxious.

    It’s not that the realm is blocked, but by dissolving impurities in the Bodhi Lotus Flower Garden, the limiting realm has been stretched to the transcendental peak, and since I was able to skillfully use the sword technique before coming here, I was fully qualified to reach the transcendental peak.

    However, Sajo’s thoughts were different from mine.

    It was a school of thought that changed the martial arts skills of the group and raised various topics as well as various problems, but for me, they only made me practice martial arts, and I did not say words containing the principles of martial arts to reach the peak or topics of enlightenment. It was not included.

    I gathered up my courage and asked if it was time to climb to the peak, but all I got in return was this night.

    “Can someone who can’t even walk jump over stepping stones and cross the river? Just tell me to walk properly.”

    I made fun of my mouth for no reason, but since the training was worth it, I thought about other things and the intensity of the training only increased.

    Thanks to this, only the proficiency of the single-pointed sword and the seven-pointed sword increased sharply.

    Just like that, another unpredictable time passed.

    Rumble!

    I kicked the ground, listening to the now familiar inner thunder. Before coming here, just using the first type of Chilleobangwibao, Ilmun Jiklöbao, was causing strain on my legs, but now it was different.

    The steps that started with Ilmunjikroebo became a double-legged battle, and then one more step was added to continue until the three-stage hwanhwi.

    While the legs were stepping on the changes of the three-shaped hwanhwi, the hands were unfolding the single-handed sword.

    Single-shot sword. Jeilcho. Lightning.

    Love love!

    A blow containing the art of defeat, a mixture of the art of strength and the art of kwae, split the air.

    “Phew.”

    A sigh of relief and nervousness flowed out at the same time as relief that the highly difficult linkage had been completely unfolded.

    The types and types of swords that I just unfolded were the older forms of the Chilreobangwibo and the early forms of the Dansa Packed Sword, but what I unfolded was neither the Chilreibangwibo, nor the Dansa Packed Sword.

    What I unfolded was the Gyeongun Musimgong itself.

    The pieces of Dansa Paegeom, Chilreobangwibo, and Gyeongunsimbeop are completely connected together to create a complete martial art that forms a comprehensive form.

    After performing the Gyeongun Musimgong like that, I was overcome with complicated feelings.

    Even before coming here, I was able to beat quite a few martial arts fighters, but in reality, it was all about my strength, skill, and physical strength.

    But now it’s different.

    Even though I lacked the strength and was exhausted, I was confident that I could beat any top expert.

    Even if compared to any peak martial artist, the level of martial arts, which can be said to be the essence of a martial artist, will not be inferior.

    So, isn’t it time to move on to the peak?

    The situation is different now from the past, when people felt impatient with the group’s achievements and hoped to reach the pinnacle.

    At that time, I was just greedy without even being able to fill the container called climax, but now the container is not so full that the content is overflowing.

    Now is the time to really reach the peak.

    However, Sajo was still keeping his mouth shut to me and only informing the group of the problem and raising topics, which was frustrating.

    Perfect!

    “Evil!”

    As I was sighing like that, a fire suddenly rose from the back of my head.

    “Tsk tsk, anyway, it seems like it’s in your nature to become arrogant whenever you achieve something.”

    “Ugh! Sajo! Isn’t it really time now!”

    “So you should have behaved properly. Even though he knew that the time was not ripe, he insisted that now was the time. Why does he raise his voice saying that it is unfair?”

    Again, you cowardly attack with facts.

    Sajo looked at me with a look of disapproval and then opened his mouth.

    “Okay, now it’s barely enough to be considered a small cloud.”

    oh.

    I looked at Sajo with anticipation. Gyeongunmusimgong is ultimately a thundergong (雷功). I don’t know exactly what the reason why Sajo called me So-un means, but since it means cloud, I guess I can interpret it as being ready to embrace lightning.

    This time, will you be teaching us the hwadu or principles of martial arts that can help us reach the peak?

    “Establish a lightning strike in your heart.”

    “Umm….”

    “Until then, practice on your own.”

    “Yes? What does that mean?”

    I asked back, not understanding what Sajo meant when he said that.

    “It’s literally like that. I have told you everything I need to tell you and I have taught you everything I need to teach you until you have established it in your heart. This means that you should do it on your own until you achieve it.”

    “No…”

    I was shocked. No, why did a person who always gave tailored advice to other group members leave a single word to me and then put up a wall?

    Sajo really just said those words and stopped paying attention to me. No matter what I did, I just had a good time chatting with my companions.

    “Ehyo.”

    I sighed at the blatant discrimination, but what can I do? Because I was the one who desperately needed to reach a state of transcendence, like a thirsty person digging a well.

    In the end, I had no choice but to sit cross-legged in the corner of the cave and meditate, shedding tears in my heart out of sadness.

    I felt sad that I was in a situation where I had no choice but to think over and over again the topic that Sajo had given me, but as I continued to meditate, the useless thoughts were erased from my head.

    Establish Ilreoe.

    What exactly does it mean to set off lightning?

    Rumbling.

    As I listened to the now familiar thundering of images, I wondered what the lightning was. Strictly speaking, I had to assume that I was already dealing with brain energy. In the first place, the fact that you could hear thunder in the image itself was evidence that you were dealing with brain energy.

    If so, wouldn’t it be possible to say that I already had a ray of lightning in my mind?

    Build lightning in your heart!

    I was aware of that topic a long time ago!!!

    ….Is that possible?

    Once again, I cleared away my distracting thoughts and focused on the topic.

    What does it mean to be a light?

    Rumbling.

    I continued my meditation while listening to the periodic sound of thunder. Every time this or that thought came to mind, I tried to move my energy, but it all ended in vain.

    Rumbling.

    Is this the result of meditating for a long time? Suddenly, my concentration broke and I felt tired.

    Suddenly this thought occurred to me.

    Actually, maybe I’m not ready. No matter how much I concentrated, I couldn’t erase the thundering sound that was ringing in my head, so I guess that thundering sound was a signal of my immaturity.

    ….however.

    Did thunder originally make such a dull sound?

    I looked back on my fight with Jeongcheol. What did the thunder that first sounded in my head feel like then? I didn’t remember exactly, but it seemed a little more violent than the current thunder.

    It wasn’t a huge sound like when lightning was falling, literally tearing the air, but I don’t think it was as calm as it is now.

    Rumble!

    I cried with an exclamation mark, as if the lightning inside me was protesting, but as expected… it felt a little different than then. It feels similar to when I barely managed to squeeze out a second Ilmun direct response to avoid Jeong Cheol’s blow.

    If you think about it, it was natural. At that time, it was a time when I couldn’t fully control the cultivation method, so it was natural for me to run wild.

    So the thunder would have been louder.

    ….the thunder was louder?

    Something passed through my mind. It literally felt like lightning had struck my head. I quickly uncrossed my lotus and stood up. Heukmyo, Yeo Il-ye, and Dang Do-yeon seemed to be looking at me in surprise, but I didn’t care.

    I just roughly unleashed the cultivation method within my body.

    Sajo said that I had become Soun (小雲). On what basis did Sajo judge me as small?

    It was a flash.

    When Sajo looked at me, he judged me to be a small cloud that could cause one true lightning strike.

    Rumble!

    The cultivation method was introduced even more harshly. No, it wasn’t energy and energy, but the energy of cultivation mind method was scattered throughout the entire body. My entire body was filled with internal skills that I would be embarrassed to call the internal skills of the cultivation mind method.

    I was a little cloud.

    In order for a small cloud to create lightning, it had to fill its entire body with water droplets and wind.

    Crumbling!

    The sound of my inner thunder becoming quite fierce.

    But it’s not enough. It’s still not enough to become a ray of lightning.

    more.

    more.

    While I was spreading the inner energy of the Cultivating Mind Technique throughout my body, a sense of alertness arose in a corner of my head.

    This was quite dangerous. No, it was a very dangerous thing.

    In the end, what was the reason for deploying the Chilreo Defense Guard and getting injured in the leg?

    This was because I carelessly exploded my internal energy that I could not completely control.

    Reason warned.

    If you trigger the Cultivating Mind Act as it is now, if you make a mistake, it could lead to a terrible injury.

    Gurgling!!

    But I didn’t stop.

    The reason was simple.

    This was because Sajo evaluated me as Soun.

    This was because he once said that it was a cloud that could cause lightning to strike.

    It was because I thought he had trained me until I became a cloud that could handle lightning.

    He said that he had told me everything he had to say and that he had nothing to teach him, and then he drew the line, so what can I do?

    I have no choice but to believe.

    I grabbed the sword.

    Kwa-ah-ang!

    And then thunder rumbled.

    Grabbing the sword became a spark, and the brain energy filled in the cloud began to move with my arms at once. Not only the energy moving through the limited channels called energy channels, but also the energy pouring out of the entire body flowed into the sword.

    The process was truly instantaneous.

    I felt pain as the energy that had spread throughout my body moved to my arms in a rapid flow, but I didn’t even have time to feel that pain.

    Because I was just busy feeling the torrent of energy flowing through my arms and hands.

    It was a truly mysterious feeling.

    A flow was created in the internal energy that was expected to be violently hit and run wild to break the vessel called the arm.

    Just as threads twist their bodies together and are reborn as thicker threads, internal energy compresses their own bodies and is reborn as strong energy.

    Absolutely!

    It swung around precariously as if it would disappear at any moment, but there was definitely strength on my sword.

    I looked at that river and thought. I know what martial arts is, but I don’t know.

    I just pushed my energy in at random, but order bloomed within it.

    Instead of understanding the process by which Gangi was created, I remembered it.

    When I fully understand this process as a single principle, I will be truly at my peak.

    Quick!

    As all the energy in my body was exhausted, the strength naturally disappeared as well. Only then did I realize that my companions and Sajo were watching me.

    I wanted to say something, but I really had no energy, so I just lay there.

    “Senior!”

    “Eun Gong!”

    “Ho ronin!”

    “Let’s move it into the mansion quickly!”

    I closed my eyes while listening to the voices of my companions calling me by various names. It was because I was so exhausted that I could no longer maintain consciousness.

    One day when I was rolling around like a dog in the camp.

    This body Hocheonan.

    He became a supreme expert.
