Chapter Index

    It was a few days later that I received a response from the head of the Danlisega family. However, the answer came back in a way I had never expected.

    After visiting the Heuksi with Namgung Hwaran, who was very happy to receive the Blue Dragon Hyeonui, I was training at a private training center prepared by Danrisega.

    hook!

    A slight sword wind was generated when the sword was struck with pure physical strength without any internal strength. I could see the sand across from me cracking as it was hit by the gale.

    I retrieved the wooden sword and lightly wiped my sweat as I spoke.

    “Phew… Who are you?”

    “As expected, the rumor was not exaggerated. Is it possible to swing a sword with such power without using internal energy? Even with a wooden sword. I’m sure among my ancestors there was a general who was renowned for his divine power.”

    It was a voice heard from the entrance to the training ground. He appeared after I stopped practicing for a moment. As I sensed, the owner of the voice was a middle-aged man.

    Square chin and large nose. As soon as I saw that face, what came to mind was the face of sweet ginseng.

    For a middle-aged man who resembled Danrisam, the owner of the small family of the Danris family, this much, the man’s identity was obvious.

    It was Dan Gi Gwang, the head of the Dan Lee family.

    I hurriedly took the gun and shouted.

    “Meet the head of the Danrisega family!”

    “I’m sorry for interrupting your training. I heard it from the servants. They say that if there is nothing special to do, they continue training until they go to bed. I had no choice but to intervene.”

    “No. It’s clear that you’re busy, but I’m just a little surprised that you came to see me in person.”

    “You are polite.”

    Dan Ki-gwang smiled faintly and nodded. Thanks to the appearance of the avatar, which looks younger than real life, it was easy to leave a good impression on people who met me for the first time, even if I was just a little polite.

    But my surprise was sincere.

    I thought he would deliver a message in the office or at the family hall, but I did not expect him to come directly to the training hall.

    ‘I never thought you would come here alone, without an escort or attendant… ‘

    “After hearing about the activities of Yeomna Fighting Dragon Sohyeop, I thought that I would like to see it with my own eyes someday. It was widely rumored that he was a late-rounder with tremendous talent who reached the peak of mastery at a young age. He even went so far as to cut down Tuma and Suramun himself. If the main character of the story was not a member of the Namgung family, it would have been dismissed as a rumor.”

    “That happened because I was fighting to survive.”

    “Hehe, seeing it in person, I can see that the rumors are not exaggerated at all.”

    Dan Ki-gwang, who said that, expressed his gratitude to me.

    “Thank you for helping me wipe out this storm. I heard that if it weren’t for you, our family would have suffered great damage from the warriors. Didn’t you say that a supreme expert called Blood Eyes Yahyo and a strange legal tool have appeared? I thought the military power I mobilized would be enough, but I almost paid a heavy price for being careless. Thanks to you, the Sega warriors were able to return safely. Thank you.”

    “I just did what I had to do.”

    “So you want to spar with me? I heard that you asked for that instead of choosing the treasure.”

    ‘Suddenly, I get to the point.’

    It was a shockingly drastic change of topic. For some reason, the way he spoke gave off the feeling that he was performing some kind of irregular swordsmanship.

    I nodded and answered.

    “… That’s right. Recently, I felt like I was stuck in a wall in my training, so I thought that sparring might help me find a breakthrough.”

    “Why did you say you wanted to spar with me, the head of the family? The opponent for the sparring match would have been Sogaju or my younger brother, who had a small age difference. ”

    “Because I wanted to receive teachings from the head of the family, who can be said to be the best of Danrisega. There is no one better than the head of the family to best experience the martial arts of the Danrisegae family and expand your knowledge.”

    “You are an expert at your age and have no rivals. Are you saying that you are still not good enough? I guess I could just relax a little more. Impatience can be a driving force for unmanned behavior, but if excessive, it can also act as poison. Taking a breather in Sega’s arms isn’t a bad thing in the long run.”

    “Doesn’t the fact that it is an unmanned sword discriminate between age and gender? This is the third time in total that I have left the Namgung family, but in all three cases, something happened that required me to raise my sword. I have no intention of forcing myself to raise my level. But that doesn’t mean I want to sit down when I see a wall leading to the next level.”

    Personally, I think practical experience is the most important, but in my current situation, it was a difficult option to choose. If son-in-law, who had just finished getting married, wanted to go outside and risk his life to practice, there was no way the Namgung family would give permission.

    And unless you’re a demon, you can’t catch and kill someone on sight, no matter how bad you are. Still, as long as you belong to a political faction, it is difficult to kill people carelessly, unless you are openly fighting for profit like this time.

    In a world where it is common to draw a sword when you are in trouble, it was difficult to go around cutting down anyone with a sword drawn like that, as it could result in public outcry.

    “Huh, does that mean we are already reaching the peak of perfection? If it had been said by someone other than Yeomnaturyong Sohyeop, I would have naturally thought it was a lie… ”

    Dan Ki-gwang muttered that and quietly closed his eyes.

    “I know what it feels like to face a wall. I’m having the same experience… Even though I have halfway let go of my obsession with the state.”

    Dan Gi-gwang was also blocked by the wall and was unable to reach the state of Hwa-gyeong. Although his level was different, he was a man who could sympathize with my situation.

    He opened his eyes and looked at me and nodded.

    “Good. Let’s spar. Right Now. But we can’t have separate observers. There is no way the gasols would be happy for me, the head of the family, to spar in person. That is also why I came to you alone. Also, there is a story about the inaction of Yeomnaturyong Sohyeop, so even if I say I have a higher level, I cannot let it go.”

    “This is what I hoped for.”

    It was only natural that if you ignored me and lost to me, your face would suffer greatly.

    Anyway, things turned out better than I expected since he accepted the sparring.

    Dan Ki-gwang, who had a stiff face, relaxed his expression and spoke in a playful tone.

    “As the head of the family, I am dealing with him directly, so please treat him with more formality than you did with Zhuge Jongdae.”

    ‘Jegal Jongdae? ah… ‘

    I wondered what they were talking about, but they were talking about the sparring that took place on the day of the wedding.

    I burned and ate the top of Zhuge Jongdae’s head, who had been ignoring me.

    Actually, strictly speaking, what happened at that time was my mistake. Even though it was a non-armored weapon, it hit the top of the head. The top of the head, commonly referred to as Cheonnyeonggae in martial arts circles, was one of the vital points where a person could die instantly if hit incorrectly.

    However, when I danced with Zhuge Zongdae, there were a few things to consider. He was insulted during the wedding, and the elders who were martial arts experts thought that he was not beaten or killed, and the middle-aged people took into account the fact that they could not see the situation properly due to the dust.

    Anyway, that sparring reached Dan Gi-gwang’s ears. It is said that Danrisam visited to celebrate the wedding, so it seems he saw it in person and delivered it to the head of the family.

    I answered with an awkward smile.

    “I will be careful. At that time, I was excited… ”

    “I was ignored in front of the guests, so it’s natural for me to be angry. Anyway, please don’t burn the top of my head.”

    Although it was said as a joke, the last remark seemed to be sincere.

    In this way, an impromptu sparring with the head of the Danri family was accomplished.

    Dan Ki-gwang walked to the other side of the training hall and took a seat. He had a smile on his face as if he was looking forward to the sparring.

    “I have a chance to see Namgung’s sword. When I think about it, it was a benefit to me, not a loss. I hope you get something.”

    “Yes.”

    I felt just as good as Dangi Gwang.

    When dealing with Punglanghoe, I was delighted to see a martial artist using a mysterious weapon called Seungpyo, but the thought of dealing with it in person gave me a pleasant feeling of tension. Thanks to you, I had a good view, so I thought I should give Dangi-gwang a good view as well.

    If it were a real fight, I would hit it ignorantly, regardless of whether it was a natural ability or an internal attack, and push forward with determination, but for now, it is sparring to raise the level of martial arts. Gaining enlightenment was more important than winning or losing in sparring.

    For half a year, I learned the Changgung Muai Sword Technique, the Thunder God’s Fist, the Heavenly Rain Triple Blade, the Heavenly Rain Ji, and the Heavenly Thunder Qi. The newly learned martial arts surprisingly suited my aptitude. The body strengthened by the abilities and the Heavenly Palace Fireworks significantly lowered the difficulty of training sword techniques, boxing techniques, long techniques, and ground techniques. I also seriously studied the Nieyeongwolungyeong (涉瀛越雲輕), which I had only kept in storage.

    Thanks to this, even without investing mileage, my abilities increased slightly.

    ‘I think we are ready to reach the pinnacle of excellence. Now I just hope that this sparring will be an opportunity to break down the wall.’

    Dan Ki-gwang said.

    “I will give up the player.”

    “Then I will go.”
