Chapter Index

    The two people’s eyes met directly.

    gulp.

    I swallowed dryly from the indescribable tension. What is this feeling that sends shivers down my spine even though neither of them are particularly energetic? Just as I was about to enter into mediation, ignoring the instinctive call to run away at once.

    “Hehe, are you worried?”

    Yeo Il-ye said with a grin.

    “I just thought it was natural.”

    “It’s okay. If you are a monk, you will support me on my way to repay the favor.”

    “…tsk.”

    The black cat clicked its tongue and turned its head. Yeo Il-ye looked at the black cat for a moment, then turned her head towards me and said.

    “I heard that your brother-in-law was also summoned to the imperial family…Can I hear more details?”

    “Oh…I see.”

    Now that I think about it, does Yeo Il-ye know that Hyuk Kirin is a princess? As I was hesitating, Yeo Il-ye first raised her energy and formed a magical barrier.

    “You two knew the gender of the ambassador. I heard that you accompanied him to Luoyang this time. What happened then?”

    “Yeo Il-ye, did you know the identity of Hyeok Gi-rin Daehyup?”

    “Yes. It seems that you two have finally found out about the identity of the ambassador.”

    It’s a good thing that Yeo Il-ye knew Hyuk Kirin’s identity.

    “In that case, it would be okay to talk about my visit to Luoyang with Hyuk Kirin Daehyup!”

    If you unravel the story of Luoyang, you will naturally be able to inform Yeo Il-ye that Black Cat and Hyuk Kirin have become close friends. Even if the black cat shows a sharp attitude, wouldn’t Yeo Il-ye, who wants to be friendly with Hyuk Kirin, overlook Hyuk Kirin’s face?

    No, let’s start with the story of training in the Jeomchang school and then talk about taking care of the Zen masters and children.

    “First of all, yes, let me start with the story of my training at the Jeomchang School.”

    “Hehe. I’m looking forward to it.”

    *** ***

    I looked at Yeo Il-ye’s performance.

    Perhaps because they were aware that it was the practice hall of a ronin house, they were impressed even though they were performing basic martial arts, which literally warm up the body, instead of martial arts, which can be considered the vision of the clan.

    Should we really say that he is the ultimate martial artist?

    It was a gentle movement to warm up the body. Movement so slow that each movement can be seen.

    Even though she is walking lightly, as if she is taking a walk, the result is that Yeo Il-ye’s new model progresses explosively at once. Even though I was watching with my own eyes, I felt a sense of disconnect as Yeo Il-ye moved around the training ground at a slow pace, as if there were a moving walkway under her feet.

    I added my imagination based on Yeo Il-ye’s movements.

    Even if Yeo Il-ye just extends her sword without moving it, it’s a strange movement that seems like it would overpower someone like me for a few seconds.

    The last time I checked Yeo Il-ye’s skills was when she lost her temper and stormed into Golden Street. The time when Hyuk Kirin blocked Yeo Il-ye and split the sum.

    It was on a different level from Yeo Il-ye’s swordsmanship that I saw back then. I don’t know if he grew up taking revenge or if he showed that way because he lost his temper at that time…

    It seems that Yeo Il-ye was a transcendent martial artist of a higher level than I thought.

    The reason why Yeo Il-ye is relaxing at the ronin guesthouse is because she stayed at this ronin guest house yesterday.

    After talking about her training at the Jeomchang Sect and what happened in Luoyang, it was already late at night and Yoo Yu-yeon caught Yeo Il-ye as she was about to leave.

    “Do you really need to find another guest? This is also a guesthouse.”

    “But…”

    “I’ll stay there. If there are people who say anything, I will crush them all!”

    I don’t know exactly what Yoo Yu-yeon was thinking when she caught Yeo Il-ye, but in any case, thanks to that, this morning, the grim-faced rogues and Yeo Il-ye were able to warm up in the same gym.

    It cannot be said that there was no animosity between the ronin and Yeo Il-ye. However, now Yeo Il-ye’s story has become widely known to everyone, and of course Sichuan people have also heard the rumor.

    The Sichuan Nang people came to understand why Yeo Il-ye hated them. However, even though I knew the reason, it doesn’t mean that the resentment I have with Yeo Il-ye goes away. So it looks like he has no idea how to deal with Yeo Il-ye.

    Yeongjihuyeol seems to personally greet and talk to Yeo Il-ye, but he doesn’t seem to have any intention of acting as a bridgehead between the ronin and Yeo Il-ye.

    So, I should also approach.

    “As expected, he has the skills of a descendant of the fortuneteller group.”

    “That’s too much praise. It’s just a humble talent.”

    Yeo Il-ye said with a grin.

    “Can I take a moment to review Eunkong’s skills? The fact that the airway is quite stable makes me curious about your skills.”

    “Hmm. Then, let me try my hand at swordsmanship.”

    In fact, I was waiting for it, so I quickly drew my sword. Yeo Il-ye is also one of the representatives of the Jeomchang faction. I don’t know if he is as good as Hyuk Kirin or the Zen masters, but he is someone who can be said to be a good instructor.

    I thought it might provide a clue to the climax, so I picked up my sword and used my best to unravel Ilhwi Cheongungeom’s Chosik from beginning to end.

    “Wow, Ho’s skills have really improved a lot.”

    “It looks like you ate a lot of good food in Luoyang…! Ah.”

    I heard the Ronin’s surprised voices and grumbles, but I ignored them. Heung guys. When I arrived, they were only interested in the black cat, but now they say there is nothing wrong with admiring it.

    I consciously pushed down my shoulder, which was trying to go up, and waited for Yeo Il-ye’s appreciation.

    “Now that you have achieved top-notch swordsmanship, it is time to focus on the topic of climax.”

    After all, Ilta instructor. Seeing him get to the core of the problem right away naturally increased my trust.

    “That’s right. I don’t think my level is high enough to reach peak level yet, but I think I need to pay attention in advance.”

    “You are correct. So, would you like to experience the pinnacle?”

    “…Experience?”

    “Could you please draw your sword and take a stand for a moment?”

    Following Yeo Il-ye’s instructions, I took a middle posture. Holding the sword with both hands and naturally extending it forward. Yeo Il-ye also drew her sword, took a mid stance, and made light contact with my sword. As they pushed in one step at a time, they naturally competed with each other’s sword skills.

    A situation where force is exchanged without the body losing balance. Yeo Il-ye opened her mouth in a situation where we were exchanging light pressure that could be equivalent to 20 to 30 percent of my strength.

    “Eungong must have experienced many situations like this during his actual combat experience. It is a state where sword and sword meet and the forces become antagonistic.”

    “Um.”

    “Then what about from now on?”

    As soon as Yeo Il-ye finished speaking, my sword slowly began to move away. I hurriedly tried to increase my strength, but even though my arm strength was almost full, the sword once pushed back did not seem to want to go back.

    Grrr!!

    Even if you apply enough force to make your arms tremble, you cannot withstand Yeo Il-ye, who is gently pushing you.

    “I will raise it a little more.”

    “Whoop!”

    I suddenly felt out of breath. Not only was it difficult to breathe, but it was as if I woke up the day after drinking too much, feeling dizzy and vomiting. Yeo Il-ye withdrew her sword.

    “This is the pinnacle. This is a phenomenon that occurs when the theory of erection is completely handled.”

    Yeo Il-ye calmly continued her explanation as she watched me take a deep breath and exhale.

    “Eungong must have used all his strength to push my sword away, but he must have had no strength. Isn’t that right?”

    “…Yes.”

    “Because the energy emitted from my sword penetrated into Eunkong’s arm, Eunkong was unable to properly demonstrate the strength of his arm. Not only was it impossible to strengthen the strength of the arms with energy, but even the energy that normally flowed was blocked, so even the strength of the arms could not be exercised properly.”

    I clenched and unclenched my fist to check for sensation. Unlike before, my arms gained strength easily.

    “When I told you that I would pull you up further, you must have had difficulty breathing or felt uncomfortable. That was because my energy had seeped through my arms and into my body. In that situation, if Qi penetrates longer or larger Qi penetrates, it will lead to internal injuries.”

    The part that Yeo Il-ye explained was something that I also knew theoretically.

    “What Eungong has just experienced is the skill of a peak warrior, and the realm of energy that he must face anew as he becomes a peak warrior. Erection, the energy that circulates only within one’s body, is spread to the external area to have a direct or indirect effect on the enemy.”

    Yeo Il-ye clenched her fist and slowly extended it towards me. Unlike before, I felt a strong flow of energy surrounding Yeo Il-ye’s fist, and I also felt it slowly extending towards me and then dispersing into the air.

    “The flow of internal energy scattered to harm or subdue the opponent is called Gyeong (勁). It can be said to be at the true peak only if you know how to control sutra, that is, the influence that emits energy and has a real influence on others from the outside. It would be good for Eungong to keep this topic in mind and focus on his training.”

    “Hmm….thank you for the teachings.”

    “Hehe. you’re welcome. Rather than reaching the peak, which is still far away, would you mind if I look at your posture a little?”

    “Then, without shame,…”

    Just as I was about to receive instruction from Yeo Il-ye.

    “Senior, eat!”

    A black cat with his arms crossed behind him, looking uncomfortable, called out to me.

    “I’m sorry, can you wait a moment?”

    “Hmph! I don’t like it! I’m going to eat it now! Come quickly!”

    “I’m eating first. Because I think I need to practice more.”

    The black cat stomped its foot.

    “It..! fool! Idiot!”

    “No….”

    “That’s it! Because I’m going to eat first!”

    A black cat disappearing into a ronin guesthouse while grinning. I was slightly concerned that Yeo Il-ye might be upset when she saw the black cat like that.

    “Hehe.”

    Surprisingly, Yeo Il-ye was smiling. Yeo Il-ye seems to have noticed my surprise and looks embarrassed.

    “Oh my, I’m so embarrassed.”

    “Hmm. I’m sorry. But I don’t think I got on very well with the black cat…”

    “It is true that I thought it was uncomfortable. I had an intellectual understanding that if I went around with that look on my face, I would get in trouble, but I must say that I felt a sense of rejection for some reason. I don’t know why, but the thought that it would somehow harm Eungong also lingered in my head. Even after that, even though he provided me with information for my revenge, I somehow felt unwelcome…”

    Yeo Il-ye looked up at the sky and said.

    “After seeing it since yesterday, I somehow find it cute rather than hateful. Did he become attracted to that beautiful face, or did he feel at peace after completing his revenge? It may be that the charm of that black cat is finally coming into view.”

    As Black Cat gained control of the Taeeumgi, did Yeo Il-ye’s perspective on Black Cat change?

    Perhaps, like Hyuk Kirin, Yeo Il-ye can become Heuk Cat’s friend.

    “Um…please look at me cutely. This is a child who has been hurt a lot by people.”

    “Yes. It must not be easy to live with such beauty.”

    “Personally, I would like to ask you to become friendly with me. There’s nothing wrong with being friends with people of similar age who have reached the same level, right?”

    “Friend…”

    Yeo Il-ye’s eyes softly widened.

    “Eun-gong is really mischievous too.”

    “….?”

    “Huhuhu. no. You must be going through a lot of hardships, too.”

    Yeo Il-ye lightly grabbed my sleeve and laughed.

    “Why not practice after finishing your meal? For now, I think it would be a good idea to eat with my black cat and get to know him.”

    “Please do me a favor.”

    And so began the strange breakfast between me, the black cat, and Yeo Il-ye.
