Tweet! Jack! tweet!

Looks like I overslept today.

Because I woke up between dawn and morning to the sound of an unidentified bird chirping in the sky.

Well, it was worth it.

Because I was quite exhausted from the gambling match with Wi Ji-cheon yesterday.

If Wi Ji-cheon hadn’t left an opening at the last moment, they would have lost.

Gambling after understanding Wi Ji-cheon’s psychology was not easy.

Because the task was to win as many as 500 home appliances.

Yesterday, I completely turned into green onion kimchi and collapsed, so it seems that no matter how well-trained my body was, it was sagging.

“Uaaam~”

It was when I was stretching out lazily in bed and chasing away the remaining fatigue from my body.

Someone knocked on the door.

Thump thump!

“Senior! Did you wake up?”

“Whoaam. Yes.”

The black cat opened the door and came in. There was urgency in the black cat’s eyes as it looked at me twisting my limbs on the bed.

“The Heavenly Demon is waiting for you!”

“Ah.”

Although there was no promise made with the Heavenly Demon, I immediately grasped the situation.

No brainer.

It seemed that the Heavenly Demon had come to visit me in the morning to give me a brain tablet.

I jumped up like a spring and ran to the training ground, following the black cat.

The appearance of Cheonma standing in the center of the training hall and having a long conversation with Wei Seo-ryeon caught my eye.

Now that I think about it, this is my first time seeing Wijicheon somewhere other than Cheonmajeon.

As I rushed forward with this thought in mind, Wi Ji-cheon slowly turned around.

“Has your fatigue gone?”

“Sorry! If I knew you were waiting…”

“No, not really. Isn’t this a day where your condition is more important than mine?”

I nodded at Wi Ji-cheon’s words.

I lightly turned my shoulder and it seemed like my physical condition wasn’t bad. My mental state isn’t too bad, perhaps because I got a good night’s sleep.

Pajik!

A lightning bolt appeared in Wi Ji-cheon’s hand.

“Have you made up your mind? I can give you some time, so let me know if you need to mentally prepare.”

I shook my head.

The resolution had already been made six months ago, on the day of proposing a gambling match to Wi Ji-cheon.

Because I made up my mind back then, I was able to run without stopping for the past six months. Is there any reason to hesitate now?

“Please ask right away.”

Wi Ji-cheon calmly nodded, as if my determination had been conveyed. I sat cross-legged and Wi Ji-cheon floated a thunder jet in front of me.

“I hope you achieve great things.”

I nodded silently.

Wi Ji-cheon slowly pushed the brainchild towards me.

A thunderbolt was approaching me at a slow pace.

Pajik.

That feeling of thunder finally reached my body.

And that moment.

The energy of the cultivating mind law that was flowing within my body fluctuated greatly.

As I entered my body, I realized once again how little energy was inside the brain.

It was a small amount of energy, perhaps a tenth or even a tenth of my internal strength.

A situation where one drop of water is added to a cup of water.

However, that single drop of water had such strong power that it shook the entire calm glass of water.

Tiny little thunderbolt.

I felt a sense of wonder at the huge throbbing of that thunderbolt.

That’s why I didn’t resist the energy emanating from Noejeong.

No, I copied it.

Because I wanted to make it my own to wield the thunderbolt that wields my cultivating mind technique, which is dozens of times larger, with less than a tenth of the energy.

The flow that made up Noejeong was still unparalleled.

My cultivation method, which I tried hard to imitate, was a mess compared to Noejeong’s.

Rumbling!!

gradually.

Little by little, the two energies began to work together.

No, rather than saying we worked together… I would say we assimilated.

Whether it was the energy of the thunder spirit or the energy within my body, it was ultimately the energy of the Cultivation Mind Method.

At the same time, it was the energy of ‘Hocheonan’.

If Wijicheon’s Black Dragon was oil and Thunder Jeong was water.

Noejeong’s energy was water, and my energy was also water.

It made sense that when water meets water, it mixes and rotates together.

That’s why I felt sad.

The inner energy flowing within my body has developed further by embracing the principles of Noejeong.

Because the spirit that gave me a sense of wonder was slowly losing its luster as it became assimilated with my inner strength.

Captivated by its beauty, I desperately refined my skills.

So that the flow of my body’s inner energy becomes even a little more similar to the ideal flow of brain energy.

So that we can preserve even a little more of the wonders of the brainchild left behind by the unknown elder.

more.

Just a little bit more.

I want to preserve the beauty of Noejeong left behind by an unknown elder.

It was because, as a warrior, those feelings soared.

With only that topic in mind.

I concentrated on coordinating the flow of my energy.

Pajik! Squeeze!

Hocheonan is constantly spewing out electric charges.

Seeing Ho Cheon-an like that, Wi Ji-cheon opened his mouth in a low voice.

“What do you guys plan to do?”

Wi Ji-cheon’s question to Wi Seo-ryeon and Black Cat.

To Wi Ji-cheon’s question, Black Cat answered immediately.

“I would like to establish a defense law.”

“I see.”

Wei Seo-ryeon looked at the black cat and said.

“Wouldn’t there be a need for shift personnel? I don’t know how many days it will take.”

“It’s okay.”

“Hehe, it’s okay if you don’t decline.”

“…Didn’t you say it was okay?”

“Players must yield. I will stand at night so you can rest at night.”

…Are you sure you’re listening to people?

The black cat raised its double wick with such meaning and looked at Wei Shu-lian, but Wei Shu-lian just turned his head calmly.

Wei Ji-cheon saw the corners of Wei Seo-ryeon’s mouth twitch slightly.

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

“No…”

The black cat muttered at the words of Wi Ji-cheon, who had driven the two to take turns protecting the law. Although he is dissatisfied, he cannot bring himself to protest against Wi Ji-cheon, the Demon of Heaven.

Are you afraid of the Heavenly Demon but not the Little Heavenly Demon?

Wi Ji-cheon brought that thought to mind and filed a complaint.

Well, it was possible that such a relationship could exist.

“Just rest! Because I can do it alone!”

“Uh huh….”

Wi Ji-cheon returned to Cheonma-jeon, listening to the conversation of the two people, who started bickering in lowered voices, with Hocheon-an in mind.

In front of Cheonmajeon, there was one person waiting for Cheonma.

It was Jeongcheol.

“A thousand years old! A thousand years! Thousands of years! I meet the Supreme Being of Protestantism.”

“Pay respect.”

As Cheonma looked at Jeongcheol, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

‘A lot of time has passed.’

A lot has happened in the meantime.

I mixed my hands with Bulmyeong, who was about to disappear when the energy of Jinbeop ran out.

In the process, he was left with a thunderbolt in his hand, and in order to keep the unspoken promise he had made with Unmyeong, he shut his mouth and locked himself in Cheonmajeon.

That’s three months.

Suddenly, Wei Seo-ryeon brought Ho Cheon-an back to Magyo.

After that, I spent another three months dealing with Noejeong, hearing the news that Wei Seo-ryeon and Ho Cheon-an were sharing radish.

Finally, we succeeded in extracting the brain gland intact.

With such a plan, he gambled with Ho Cheon-an for six months.

‘It’s already been a year since I competed with Hocheonan’s Sajo.’

For Wi Ji-cheon, the past year has been an enjoyable time in one way or another. I met an unknown person who could discuss radish, and I happily solved the homework that unknown person left behind.

Is it just that?

I learned how to see the world, hung out with my daughter, enjoyed the process of climbing the mountain called gambling, and competed with Ho Cheon-an to feel refreshed.

Wi Ji-cheon, who had forgotten the passage of time while enjoying each day, couldn’t help but realize that a considerable amount of time had passed while looking at Jeong-cheol.

Jeongcheol was already at the highest level of flower gardening.

This was because Jeongcheol’s prayers had grown.

“Was there any achievement?”

Jeongcheol answered Wijicheon’s question.

“I witnessed absolute inaction, which opened my perspective a little.”

‘is it.’

High-level martial artists like Jeong Cheol do not improve their skills easily. Even if you work hard every day and sharpen your martial arts skills, there are many cases where you stay in the same place for five or ten years.

Considering that, Jeongcheol’s growth was unusual.

However, if you saw the unknown number, it was quite possible.

Wi Ji-cheon also achieved achievement by solving a number left behind by Unknown.

“The reason I called you today is to give you an answer to the matter you reported earlier.”

Jeongcheol’s eyes shine.

“I will listen.”

Wi Ji-cheon opened his mouth without hesitation.

Through Jeong-cheol’s report, he announced that he had met Bulmyeong and talked about the unspoken promise he had made with Bulmyeong.

Also, Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon brought Ho Cheon-an to the Demon Church.

I told you everything about the bets that had been made over the past six months.

After hearing the whole story, Jeongcheol clenched his fists and trembled.

In the end, isn’t it a story that Cheonma and Socheonma came forward and provided a foothold and time for Hocheonan to grow?

Jeongcheol looked at Cheonma with eyes filled with anger.

Cheonma calmly accepted Jeongcheol’s gaze.

“You took Ho Cheon-an’s side, but what is your purpose in calling me and telling me this?”

Wi Ji-cheon said something that Jeong-cheol could never ignore.

“Compensation.”

Jeongcheol’s eyes sparkled.

“I didn’t necessarily promise to give you information about Hocheonan’s current trend, but it is true that I treated you harshly as a collaborator of the Demonic Cult, and at the same time, it is also true that I put you in a difficult situation.”

“….”

“That’s why I will compensate you. If there is anything you want, let me know.”

Jeongcheol cooled his heart and turned his head.

Wijicheon was Cheonma.

A person who never bends himself to others.

Even though he admitted that he had made a mistake, he was a person who looked down on himself, choosing to make compensation instead of apologizing.

What is the use of fighting an emotional battle with someone like this?

‘It’s useless.’

Even if you receive an apology for once, nothing will change.

There was a long silence in Daejeon.

Finally, Jeongcheol opened his mouth.

“I can no longer stay in Magyo in peace, so I will leave.”

“It is your freedom. What are you going to do about compensation?”

“I will receive the compensation when I visit the Demon Church again in the future.”

A heavy silence fell once again in Daejeon. It was when Jeong-cheol, who could not bear to see Wi Ji-cheon in silent distress, opened his mouth and tried to persuade Wi Ji-cheon.

“Allowed.”

Wi Ji-cheon’s permission was given.

Jeongcheol let out a long sigh, looked up at Wijicheon, and waved his arms.

“A thousand years old! A thousand years! Thousands of years! I look forward to seeing you again.”

“Go away.”

“honorary name.”

Wi Ji-cheon thought as he watched Jeong-cheol leaving Cheonmajeon. Even though he experienced something that most people would not be able to suppress, Jeongcheol suppressed himself and promised for the future.

‘You have chosen a formidable person as your opponent. ‘Hocheonan.’

Wei Ji-cheon leaned back on the throne and remembered the image of Hu Cheon-an he had just seen.

How much will Ho Cheon-an, who took the thunderbolt, achieve?

Based on that achievement, will he be able to deal with Jeong-cheol now?

It was something that even Wi Ji-cheon could not easily guess the outcome of, and at the same time, it was something that Wi Ji-cheon could not intervene in.

‘Do your best.’

Wi Ji-cheon thought so and leaned against the back of the throne.

Jeong Cheol and Ho Cheon-an.

The confrontation between the two, which had been in a lull, began to ignite once again.
