“Hmm.”

Today, I was told to get a request for a black cat through brokers. I had some doubts as to whether he was really aiming to become the best Sacheon Ronin, but in the end, seeing as he was following me well, it seemed like he was serious about his life as a Ronin.

Being friends in arms with a black cat is also a good thing for me.

The fact that a supreme or near-transcendent warrior listens to me is a benefit and a unique situation in itself.

If I can persuade only the black cat well, I can try all the options that I couldn’t choose due to my lack of martial arts skills.

The black cat has been obediently listening to what I say. Things like errands that are not related to ronin. Like handing out leaflets or something. Things like putting a message on the cup of a ronin’s guesthouse or having a spell helper.

No, now that I think about it, I was treated like a real chore.

I don’t think he stabbed me with a poisonous needle out of anger because I made him run an errand for firewood.

It’s scary that it can’t be completely denied.

“Ta-da, I prepared this request that you can receive today.”

It wasn’t an illusion after all. After Tang Dao-gyeong’s incident, the distance between him and the black cat decreased. Not a mental distance, but a physical distance.

A black cat that gets so close that if you move just a little, your shoulders will touch. After what happened that day, the sense of distance between the black cats has decreased. I’ve always been startled by her beauty sometimes, but now she’s so close to me that I’m startled.

I’m sure I’m attracted to the black cat’s attitude toward me, but why?

“Senior?”

“Oh, okay, let’s see…”

[Request to attack Dajeoyong, the expert money singer of Gyeongyang Restaurant]

[Difficulty: Low]

[Risk level: high]

[Special Feature: A large user of extreme power. A fearsome expert whose flesh turns golden in an instant when hit by a fist like a large hammer wrapped in a sword.]

[Recovery of the missing snow cat]

[Difficulty: Low]

[Risk level: low]

[Special note: My heart aches that I still haven’t found the cat. Personally, this is a request I really want to do. It’s easy because you know the cat’s ways well.]

[Pressing Taeran-ro Clothing Store]

[Difficulty: Low]

[Risk: None]

[Special note: Just stand in front of the dry goods store and chase people away. Why is this a request?]

The request itself is ordinary.

“No, this is not a cat.”

“It’s just a big cat.”

Well, to a peak expert, it might be similar to a cat or a tiger. No, the snow cat is a cat as big as a tiger, so is it actually a cat? If a cat is as big as a tiger, isn’t it just a tiger? I’m suddenly confused.

“Hmm.”

In fact, the request for the Blue Snow Cat is a quest worth doing as long as you can subdue the Blue Snow Cat. First of all, since the other person refused and couldn’t find the cat for quite a long time, I guess I can take a lot of extra money in addition to the request fee.

But for now, today is for Dodger.

“How about Dodge? Is it worth solving?”

“Hmm… I don’t think it would be difficult to defeat it with a surprise attack. It is said that he commutes from home to work every day. The route is also constant.”

Regardless of the truth of the Tang Do-kyung incident, if there is one thing that has become clear.

It doesn’t look like the black cat will leave my side easily.

He generally follows my instructions well, and as long as I make sure of one thing, I will be able to do various things with my black cat.

That is the authority to give instructions during battle.

From a general point of view, it made no sense for a second-rate warrior to give instructions to a top expert to fight like this.

So now I have to take that direction through agreement and experience.

Dodgeo Yong is a martial artist who has just reached his peak. In fact, the reason why Dajeoyong, an uncharacteristic warrior in Sichuan Province, is remembered is because of his name. It may be an unremarkable name to people in the central region who don’t know anything about light Western food or pork cutlet.

“Can you follow my instructions in battle?”

“What does it mean? Isn’t it okay to just take it down? Then I guess just a sneak attack would be the end.”

“That may be true, but even if it’s a bit cumbersome, let’s try to suppress the enemy efficiently.”

In fact, my argument was almost unreasonable. It was like persuading a hunter who could just shoot a rabbit with a bow to say that arrows were a waste, so why not trap the rabbit and catch it?

It is natural for a hunter who can shoot a rabbit to object to that statement…

“Good. Then what do you plan to do?”

“Huh?”

To be honest, I was preparing several words in my head, thinking that the black cat would object, but all of them were blown away at once.

“I heard there is an operation. Let’s give it a try.”

Even if I had just asked for this, wouldn’t they have listened to me?

That thought crossed my mind, but I shook my head. Since I decided to change, I have to make it clear.

You may be able to nod your head with a light heart now, but you need to trust my instructions to follow them even in a real emergency.

And that trust comes from proven performance in practice.

At least a couple of times, I needed to impress upon them the performance of my operations.

“So…”

I explained the strategy to Black Cat.

“Wow, you look really strong.”

The black cat who witnessed the real thing of Dodger let out a light exclamation. Certainly, its majesty was extraordinary. It’s like a typical muscular pig. It looks like the muscles have been plump and plump. The arm thickness is thicker than the thighs of most men. The palm looks twice as big as the average man’s.

I’m sure with those hands, there’s no need to mess up when making pork cutlets.

He looked good, befitting a chef, or even a military officer. He is a person who would not feel at all uncomfortable if he were standing in a butcher shop.

“Let’s go.”

The black cat nodded and came out into the street. This is, after all, a request to tarnish Dodger’s reputation. So of course there must be an eyewitness.

If you lose in a formal match with a ronin, your reputation will be greatly damaged. But is it easy to get on the official military board? The reason there are so many requests to deliver Bimucheop is because it is rare for a single Bimucheop to respond to a Bimu version.

It is common for a continuous commotion to attract people’s attention, and for sects or individuals who cannot bear the attention to agree to a secret dance.

It wasn’t something that could be done in a day or two.

That’s why there are raid requests like this. The Sichuan people evaluated it considering that it was a surprise attack, but it was inevitable that they would be defeated.

Dajeoyong was startled when a black cat suddenly blocked his path.

“For Dodger. I am applying for a job.”

“I refuse.”

Dodger refused very coldly. After a quick glance, it seemed like he knew who the black cat was. Currently, among the Sichuan people, there is only one black cat who is a woman. If he had heard rumors about the female Sichuan ronin who was a match for Yeo Il-ye, Da Jeo-yong would have known that he had no chance of winning.

“I will perform martial arts only on official non-stages. If you want to do business with me, send me a formal letter.”

In fact, there was no reason for Dodger to go first. But why did they make such a moderate request for military service instead of launching a surprise attack?

I did it because I had the confidence to make the Dodger run at me.

The black cat gazed at the dodger dragon’s head, reflecting the bright summer sunlight.

“So there is no hair.”

“….what?”

“If you are an unmanned person, you must not avoid challenges. What do you do if your head resembles the sun? My heart is not hot.”

Most people who practice Yeoyanggong lose their hair due to the heat of their bodies. Because heat is the enemy of hair roots.

The black cat dealt a final blow to the trembling Dodgeoyong.

“Oh! You’re using solar power! It’s cowardly of you to attack first even though you said you wouldn’t fight!”

“I will kill you!”

Dodger Yong, who had literally turned into a vicious murderer, rushed at him. I climbed up the roof as I watched the Dodger dragon, his fists covered in flames, full of fear and fiercely attacking the black cat.

Sacheon has a subtropical climate.

Due to its subtropical climate, it is an area with frequent surprise showers and abundant average annual rainfall. So, among the houses where people lived, many had large barrels to catch rainwater.

Getting water from a well is hard work, so if you install a bucket, you can catch the rainwater that just falls.

Of course, the first floor was the most suitable place to place heavy and large buckets, but there was no reason why a water tank was installed on the ceiling of the first floor to collect water coming down from this floor.

And the spot where the ambush was located was exactly where such a water tank was located.

Since summer had just begun and showers were falling, the large bucket was filled with water.

“Go!”

Quaaa!!

A large bucket large enough to fit several adults falls over and the water pours down like a waterfall.

“Fuhehehe!”

A water bomb hit the head of Dodger, who had lost his temper and was running towards the black cat.

The moment the water touched it, steam boiled for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and Dodger was soaked from head to toe in an instant!

“K, keu…! These guys!”

Dodger clenched his fists and got angry, but unlike before, no flames came out.

In martial arts, it is often said that the human body is a microcosm, but this is not a Chinese lie or exaggeration. In reality, depending on what kind of internal energy is channeled through what technique and through what path, an infinite number of results are possible.

Yanggang and Eumhannaegong are also like this. As Yang Gang’s internal energy, which has the property of heating, circulates along the Qi and blood, the heat gradually becomes stronger and the Qi also goes through the phenomenon of filling Qi and becomes a flame.

If Ilryu is a state that deals with sexual energy, then what kind of state is climax? It is a state that can handle erection.

If you are a warrior using a weapon, you will be able to put energy on your weapon, and if you are a person who uses Gwongi, you will be able to leave a Jangyeong or wear something like a Gwongi.

“This, this..!”

In the panicked Dodger’s fist, there was only a small fire that was embarrassing to call a flame. Steam continued to rise from my arms, but it would be difficult to properly exhale until all the water evaporated.

If you are someone who uses Yeolyangquan, the results of the Naegongsim method will appear roughly from the shoulders. Finally, the inner energy that turned into a flame flows down the arm and condenses into the fist.

So, most of the heat that should have flowed from my shoulders, up my arms, and into my fists was consumed by my wet body and undress, leaving only a very small flame.

If Dajeoyong had reached the stage of full maturity and perfectly controlled his erection even at his peak, such a dramatic effect might not have occurred, but he has just reached his peak. When it came to martial arts, I was a beginner whose energy was leaking from my shoulders.

“Aha.”

What is the true efficacy of Yeoyanggong? It was right there on defense. You might not know it if you’re holding a weapon, but if you’re an opponent with a fist, you can burn them just by blocking or grabbing them with a hot fist.

Those two fists, which are exceptionally large compared to his size, are Dodger’s strength. I hurriedly crossed my fists in response to the black cat’s direct attack, but I was unable to hit the black cat with the heat that could only be found in a bonfire about to go out.

Dajeo-yong’s large body flew through the sky in a performance full of energy.

Coo!

The fallen Dodger did not get up.

This was the end of today’s request.
