“Lower pressure!”

“Chaaaa!”

As dawn broke, the room was filled with the sound of cheers. I also mingled among them, briefly warming up and looking at the faces of the ronin.

The new Ronin were generally of high quality.

Because most of them were at the peak of maturity.

I asked Jeongsam, who was swinging the Banwoldo with a lot of force to show off his accomplishments.

“Hey, now that I think about it, there are some Ronin that I can’t see?”

“Gasp, gasp! Some people are retired. In particular, Yeongjihuyeol returned to his hometown at the peak of his power.”

“Hehe.”

In the end, the climax came out among the ronin. Given the status of the current Sacheon Rangin, he would have remained even if he had reached his peak… Well, Yeongjihuyeol was someone who seemed to have a lot of stories.

It’s peak season, so there’s probably something to do.

“What is blindness?”

“He left to do Pegwan training.”

“What?”

Jeongsam clicked his tongue and said.

“After Dajeoyong reached the peak, I worked hard at self-examination… but it seems that it wasn’t easy to get over the wall. In the end, he declared that he would not return until the climax and disappeared somewhere.”

“….”

I prayed for Ja So-gyeong to rest in peace.

This is the path you have chosen. Hold on to evil.

After my morning training, I was passing somen down my throat like always when Yoo Yu-yeon appeared with a disapproving expression.

“Hey, why are you asking Geum Myeong-wol to watch the kids’ martial arts skills?”

“Hmm? Ah.”

I turned my head towards Hyeok Gi-rin. The sight of Hyeok Kirin teaching Ilhwi Cheongun Sword to Seo Yi-ryeong and Jo Yong-sang caught my eye.

“Because I can’t teach Ilhwi Cheongungeom properly.”

“What?”

“There is such a thing. Anyway, I didn’t ask Myeongwol Sojeo because I was lazy.”

I can help them raise their level, but I cannot teach them Ilhwi Cheongun Sword.

Because all the martial arts I used turned into thunder swords.

In order to defeat Jeong-cheol, I only practiced the principles of killing with one strike. He only learned the Light Cloud and Heart Attack, and in the Heavenly Demon God Church, he only strengthened the power of the one-hit killing attack among the Light Cloud and Heart Attack.

This was a kind of paradox.

To make it easier to understand, let’s compare an unmanned vehicle to a tree.

How do trees grow?

Numerous leaves grow from numerous branches, and those numerous leaves produce nutrients to grow the tree. In other words, the more branches there are, the better the tree grows.

Well, there are exceptions like Cheonma, but martial arts is usually a fight over who can rise higher.

In order for a tree to grow taller, it must spread out laterally.

But I cut out the possibilities.

Ultimately, what determines the height of a tree is the single branch that grows vertically. So, in order to grow only that branch, I cut off all the branches and poured nutrients into that single branch.

Since there is no time to gather nutrients while growing the body, all the nutrients collected until then are put into growth.

It was I, a military man, who forced the tree to grow to the height of Hwagyeong.

In general, a martial artist with a high level of skill can teach people who are already familiar with other martial arts.

In order for a tree to grow large, the more branches and leaves it has, the better.

That is why famous sects recommend the risky journey to martial arts to those who have not yet matured. As the branches called the principles of Martial Arts grow, I hope that the branches of the tree called Hugi Jisu will become abundant by hearing, seeing, and experiencing the principles of Martial arts that have spread throughout the world.

You may wonder how important this is, but in the end, the principle of martial arts is that more is better, and this is proven by the results of the current martial arts team.

Xinjiang’s Heavenly Demon Church. And the Shaolin Temple at North Taishan Mountain.

If one were to choose the strongest sect in the world, the martial people would most likely choose Shaolin or Cheonma Shinkyo.

It was no coincidence that these two schools of thought became so prosperous.

This is because these two sects had distinctly different characteristics from other sects in the world.

The point was that it contained numerous principles of martial arts.

Even if they are world-renowned and prestigious families, such as the Nine Pail Bangs or the Five Great Families, they usually branch out based on one principle of martial arts.

However, the Heavenly Demon Church and Shaolin are different.

The two schools deal with a wide range of principles of martial arts without being bound by a single principle.

Shaolin covers all 18 classes of martial arts and boasts a high-quality and wide range of 108 martial arts, while Cheonma Shingyo provides infinite branches through Cheonma Bigo.

Unlike other sects, the number of branches that can be attached to each sect is different, which means that many outstanding warriors are produced.

“Ni-yen-ni-yeh, how could a first-class guest housekeeper understand the meaning of Hwa-gyeong master?”

“No, it’s true.”

Are you saying that if I teach you, it won’t be Ilhwi Cheongun Sword, but Thunder Myeong Thunder Sword?

“What a mess! If you don’t like it, say no!”

Anyway, I finished my breakfast, scratching my head, and left the guest house as if I was being chased away by Yoo Yu-yeon’s glare.

“Tsk…”

It looks like he was quite angry that I had put down the black lip at my own discretion from afar.

hmm.

Rather than being ignored by Yu Yu-yeon like this, I would like to grow new branches by learning other principles of martial arts from now on.

In fact, growing new branches was not a very helpful action.

Even Hyeok Kirin, who has a rich understanding of the principles of martial arts, ultimately only uses the Four Blades method in actual combat. The various principles of martial arts were only the driving force that raised martial arts to a higher level, but were not elements that could be used in practice.

Someday we will have to expand our branches again, but that day is not today.

I’ve been putting it off for a while, but now wouldn’t it be okay to give it a try?

The succession of the Heavenly Demon God’s Skill may have been due to some sort of coincidence, as his skills, which had stagnated since absorbing the Thunder Spirit, were gradually improving.

It’s not like I’ll be staying in Sacheon for a day or two, so I’ll have to seriously consider it.

For now, I finished my thoughts and looked at the surroundings.

I don’t know if it was my fault or if Ronin Gaekjan was still the center of attention, but even though it was early, there were a lot of people around Ronin Gaekjan.

Their attention was focused on me coming out of the guest house.

“Isn’t that person a black man?”

“Well, I don’t know because I don’t have bamboo ribs or a large sword.”

Since he has never shown his bare face in Sichuan, the residents of Sichuan seem to be confused as well.

“I don’t think so. I don’t know, but wouldn’t Noegeomnangin be more handsome than that guy?”

“Mmm. That’s right.”

What do you mean by a handsome face?

I felt like I wanted to rush out and argue with him right away, but I held back because if my face was spread across Sichuan, the effectiveness of my plan would be diminished.

They both remembered their faces.

I walked down a familiar alleyway, looking at the faces of the two people.

As always, I walked through the quiet alleys of Sichuan Province and arrived at Rosary Gate.

Even considering that Muin’s morning was early, it was too early to visit the clan, but there was no choice. Just today, there are a number of places I need to visit.

When we stopped in front of the main gate of the Rosary Gate, the two gatekeepers who were waiting asked questions.

“Do you have anything to do with the Rosary? Is it okay if I ask about your business?”

After earning the nickname of Noegeomnangin, I had a few opportunities to visit the clan, but it was still a kindness that I could not get used to.

Because the black lips of Sacheon Rongin were like a seizure device for the gatekeepers. I was reminded of the days when I risked my life to deliver secret documents.

“I came to see Lord Mun.”

“Umm, Moonju?”

A look of confusion flashed across the faces of the two gatekeepers.

“Can you possibly know its existence?”

I racked my brain for a moment.

What kind of production should be shown to excite the two faithful monks of the Rosary Order to spread the word around the neighborhood, saying, ‘This is an absolute secret, but today I met a brainiac while standing in the temple!’

This would be good.

“That is difficult, so I will show you this instead.”

I put my hand in my arms. The two gatekeepers who were looking at me, wondering what would come out of my arms, frowned.

Probably because there was a silver coin stuck between my fingers.

“You are being rude!”

“You can meet Lord Moon with a silver coin… Heo-eok!”

The two people who were about to get angry quickly swallowed their frustration.

Absolutely!

This was because the silver held between my fingers was frozen and the electric charge was discharged.

Who is the person in present-day Sacheon who can show strength made of brain energy?

“Brain, brain sword…!”

“Shh.”

I stopped the gatekeeper who noticed my identity and tried to flag me down. I smiled and said to the two gatekeepers.

“Can I see Lord Moon?”

“Ah, I will send you a message inside!”

“Thank you.”

One person went in trembling, and the remaining person even had a flushed face and was looking at me with bright eyes.

Anyone could see that after work, he grabbed his acquaintances and said, ‘This is a secret I’m only telling you!’, and he looked like he was going to spread the rumor about me throughout Sacheon.

Even if I don’t have to ask, I will work hard to keep my mouth shut so that the people of Sichuan can see how good-looking I am.

As I was nodding my head in satisfaction, the gatekeeper soon returned.

“I will guide you! Eat it this way!”

I guess.

The first button appears to have been inserted well.

*** ***

It’s been a week since Ho Cheon-an, the brain sword bag, returned to Sacheon, but the rumors surrounding the brain sword bag Ho Cheon-an show no sign of subsiding.

Among the rumors about Hu Tian-an, the thing that became the most talked about in Sichuan Province was, surprisingly, Hu Tian-an’s face.

Black cat. Yeo-il-ye. Hyeok Kirin. The Dok-Go theory. Moyong Yeonhwa. And even Dang Do-yeon and Dang So-yeol were women who boasted their own flower-like beauty.

Since Ho Cheon-an was traveling with many such women, people speculated as to his secret, and among the speculations, the one that became the accepted theory was the theory that Ho Cheon-an was a peerless handsome man.

The rumor that women would not follow suit, as even the most handsome men were hiding their crying faces under those black lips, had its own persuasive power and was almost established as established theory.

And the anecdote that one of the women who believed the rumor and secretly admired Noegeomnangin denied the rumor and went to see Ho Cheon-an’s face in person and cried loudly on the spot became a new legend in Sichuan Province.

Although not as much as Ho Cheon-an’s face, Ho Cheon-an’s actions also became a hot topic.

What is the purpose of Ho Cheon-an, who secretly visited the clans of Sichuan Province?

There was no information about what conversation Noegeomnangin and the clan leaders of Sichuan Province had, but after Ho Cheon-an’s visit, rumors were circulating about the clan leaders who looked distressed, and curiosity was gradually growing.

And the martial arts sects who heard the news from Sacheon Province were also curious.

What on earth is Noe Geon Nang-in planning in Sichuan Province?

When the martial arts sects were struggling to figure out Hocheonan’s intentions. News from a different direction reached the martial arts faction.

The Heavenly Demon Church was steadily moving toward Shaanxi. It was news that a messenger from the Heavenly Demon Church was visiting the Seoak School, a school in Shaanxi.

After the messenger visited, the Seoak faction was preparing for a banquet and sending out invitations to the surrounding factions, and only then did they guess what was going on.

A conflict arose between Hocheonan and the Church of the Heavenly Demon!

Although the Church of the Heavenly Demon declared that it would repay the favor to Ho Cheon-an, there were not many people who took the Church of the Heavenly Demon’s claim at face value. No matter how much he was a benefactor of the Heavenly Demon Church, it was hard to believe that he would break his long silence and advance to the central plain simply to repay a favor.

Conquer the Murim!

The Church of the Heavenly Demon advanced into Wulin under the pretext of returning the favor to Ho Cheon-an!

Although it was not said out loud, many sects in the central region were thinking that way.

Did the Heavenly Demon God Church really become the second blood religion and advance into the martial arts world to gain influence?

The means by which the intention could be guessed were Ho Cheon-an’s actions and the actions of the Heavenly Demon Church.

The eyes of the whole world were focused on the Seoak faction, which the Heavenly Demon Church would visit, and on Sacheon Province, where Hocheonan was active.
