Episode 195 Nasty Seeds (1)The next morning.
Seoryang, who came to the training ground before dawn and finished praying, took a deep breath.
âWhere should I start?â
Seo-ryang got up lightly, relaxed, and lowered his posture.
Spread your feet wider than your shoulders and point your toes forward. Bend your knees to a right angle, extend both arms forward, and naturally straighten all four fingers except the thumb.
It was a Chamchungong (ç«æ¤¿å) posture commonly practiced by beginners in martial arts, with the back and neck straight and the eyes pointed toward the fingertips.
The advantage of Cham Chun Gong is that it can train the lower body, waist and abdomen, which are the fundamentals of martial arts, and is not restricted by location.
In particular, it is a good practice in another sense for beginners who are learning the Naegongsim method.
Itâs easy to feel energy.
It is easy to sink into oneâs true self in a posture centered on the dantian, and it is convenient to attribute the abundant external energy to oneâs true self. It was the best practice to enter the so-called trance state.
However, Ma Dong-pil, who was watching Seoryang from the side, had doubts in his heart.
âWhy something like Cham Chun Gong?â
Even if you are at the level of Ma Dong-pil or Wi Hong-ryeon, there is no need to spend time on Chamchun-gong.
In the first place, there were few demons practicing Chamchungong. The origin of Cham Chun Gong is Shaolin, so it is a widely known training method, but if you are a magician who has learned magic, there is no need to touch it.
âYou must have an idea.â
Ma Dong-pil could not even dare to guess the state of Seo-ryang. Nevertheless, doing such training must have its own meaning.
His thoughts were exactly correct.
Seolyangâs eyes deepened as he looked at his fingertips.
âAfter all, I have to throw it away.â
The principles of magic that I felt while treating internal injuries.
After reflecting on himself while practicing Cham Chun for the first time in a long time, he realized that his creativity and concentration can sometimes be toxic.
âI have created a new level of martial arts by acquiring various martial arts skills, but from now on, I must delve deep into one path.â
Letting go of familiarity and taking a dip in the sea of discomfort.
I was a little scared and nervous, but at the same time I was looking forward to it.
Wooooow.
Before I knew it, red demonic energy was blooming all over my body.
Seoyang relaxed his stance and took a big step forward.
thud!
As soon as the training hall rang, Seoryangâs training began.
The two feet followed the Demon Emperorâs gait and the arms moved smoothly and freely. At first glance, the circular motion looked like a shamanâs tai chi, but it was much faster than that, giving the feeling that it was somehow more intense.
Paaang!
A single fist is thrown out strongly at the moment when it seems to be gently sweeping the air.
Rumbling.
A soft sound of thunder came from the tip of his fist. The power of the Heavenly Demon has begun.
Seo-ryangâs eyes changed.
Wow!
His movements, which were both soft and fierce at the same time, became infinitely faster and stronger.
Puff puff poop!
The sleeves fluttered, creating a strong wind. The hot wind met the cool dawn air and created a soft haze.
A feast of martial arts that causes wind and clouds. The red magic energy emanating from both arms looked like lightning. Xiliangâs power fist, which had not yet exploded, but was fully loaded with demonic energy, had already passed the five stars and was advancing toward the six stars.
It was incredibly fast progress. The enlightenment gained during the fight with the beast palace lord and the process of treating internal injuries led to the achievement of absolute power.
The growth of a cilantro is like this. Even completely unrelated martial arts achievements can be elevated through insignificant realizations.
âWhew. âItâs refreshing.â
It was a more difficult practice because the energy was dissipated right before the onset. If he had unleashed his power as is, the entire area would have been devastated.
Still, when was the last time you trained properly with demon energy? I felt relieved inside.
Seoliang looked down at the training ground. Ma Dong-pil was looking up at himself with a blank face.
âDongpil.â
ââ¦.â
âDongpil!â
âomg! Yes yes?!â
âWhy are you so distracted?â
âOh, Iâm sorry. Stop without even realizing itâ¦â
Seo-ryang chuckled.
âIs it just a series of surprises?â
âyes. âItâs a level I canât even imagine.â
Seoryangâs training shocked Ma Dong-pil beyond surprise.
The principle of using internal power, rather than a formula, was shocking. Herbikâs attack was amazing, but the unimaginably complex internal force operation further maximized herbikâs power.
Ma Dong-pil, who broke the wall and ascended to a level that transcends humanity. Upon entering the new world, his eyes were completely different from before, and he was able to look into Seoliangâs martial arts in much more detail than before.
âLeave the surprise and just open the door.â
âyes?â
âIt looks like someone I know is coming. âThe sound of wheels rolling is strangely familiar.â
What Xu Liang said was true.
A beautiful middle-aged woman came in through the previously opened door.
âOh, so you knew?â
Xi Liang asked awkwardly.
âWhy are you here so early in the morning?â
âI guess youâre not very happy.â
âThat canât be right.â
âAre you sure youâre not happy?â
âThink for yourself. So, what are you doing today?â
âI heard you came back from Yunnan. How can I stay silent? âI came to say hello.â
âAt this early hour, which wouldnât be strange to call it dawn?â
âYou know Iâm busy. âOtherwise I donât have time like this.â
âYou were good at tinkering before.â
âAre you trying to keep me from having anything to say?â
âTsk.â
Soyeonsim smiled and lowered her head.
âCongratulations on your return, Prince Three.â
Xu Liang briefly bowed his head.
âthank you. Anyway, the only person who greets me when I return to school is So Wonju.â
âHoho, are we meant to be?â
Seo-ryang burst out laughing.
âDid you have dinner? If you havenât, shall we eat together?â
âOh, itâs okay. âI havenât been eating breakfast much lately.â
âAnd then he collapses.â
âThere are many people at our school who would be happy if I collapsed. You canât meet their expectations. By the wayâ¦â
So Yeon-sim glanced at Ma Dong-pil.
Ma Dong-pil, who was standing blankly, slightly lowered his head. Since there was someone attending, excessive greetings were prohibited.
There was honest surprise on So Yeon-simâs face.
âThe level of Ma Howie is amazing. âItâs completely different from what I saw before.â
âthank you.â
She couldnât help but be amazed again.
âThere really arenât any monsters.â seaÊá´h thÑ Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Seoryang is an undeniable monster, but I never expected that Ma Dong-pil would also show such growth. I vaguely thought that one day I would reach the realm of transcendence, but I never thought it would happen so quickly.
âIs this the result of aligning life and martial arts as Ma Howie said before?â
Soyeonsim stuck out her tongue inwardly.
ââ¦A man who was only the third leader of the Protectorate became a supreme expert in just two or three years. In ten years from now, wonât Ma Howie also reach the level of extreme demon?â
Even at the same level, there is a drastic difference in level depending on how much one has practiced. Therefore, Ma Dong-pil was definitely lower than So Yeon-sim, who was also a transcendent expert.
But what about a year later? After two years?
So Yeon-sim could not dare to think that Ma Dong-pil would not be able to surpass her.
âThe rice is a bit ok, but is the tea okay?â
âGood. Dongpil, please make me some tea.â
Ma Dong-pil quickly lowered his head and ran toward the kitchen.
Soyeonsim looked around as if wondering.
âWhy donât you order a maid? âAnyway, why canât I see the maid?â
âThe kid is a little sick.â
âAre you sick? âI heard that Confucius himself taught me the Neigongsim method?â
âThatâs right.â
I thought Cherry Blossom would wake up in half a day, but surprisingly, Cherry Blossomâs body aches lasted a long time. It seemed like the fatigue that had been building up for so long was triggered by this incident.
âItâs not serious, and it will get better after a few days of rest.â
âHow many kids would you like to send?â
âItâs done. âIâm living well on my own.â
âAll right.â
After a while, the two people sat down at a table under the stone wall.
Soyeonsim spoke first.
âRumors have spread throughout the school about the accomplishments you achieved during this trip to Yunnan.â
âAlready?â
âyes.â
âIs it true that the great lord above was stumbling around?â
âThat canât be right.â
Although he was a person who was not surprised no matter what he did, surprisingly, Wi Hongryeon was someone who clearly knew how to distinguish between public and private affairs.
âThere are more than one person who went through a crisis together with Confucius, right? âRumors can spread anywhere.â
âYes, of course.â
âHowever, there was also one unpleasant rumor.â
âUncomfortable rumor?â
Soyeonsim cleared her throat for a moment and asked in a quiet voice.
âConfucius.â
âWhy are you being so serious all of a sudden?â
âIsnât it⦠right?â
âWhat?â
ââ¦.â
âYou know that throwing something out without explaining it in detail and seeing the reaction is making the other person feel bad, right?â
âsorry. But itâs such an absurd rumorâ¦â
What kind of rumor is this that makes So Yeon-sim say itâs so absurd?
âSo tell me. âWhat is it?â
Soyeonsim spoke in a shaky voice.
âI heard that the religious leader told the candidates to end the succession fight before the Passunje?â
At that moment, Seo-ryangâs eyes widened.
âHow did you know that?â
It is unlikely that Lee Cheon-sang gave the order to deliver it to everyone. There was no need for it in the first place, and it wasnât my personality to do that.
But how did Soyeonsim know this?
âI heard it through rumors.â
âBy rumor?â
Is this going to become a rumor? Doesnât that make sense?!
âAndâ¦â
A trace of embarrassment appeared on So Yeon-simâs face.
âThere was a rumor that the Three Princesses were planning to kill the Seven Princesses as a sacrifice to signal the start of a full-scale succession battle?â
ââ¦?â
Seo-ryangâs face hardened.
âWhen you say Seven Princesses, do you mean Yeo Min?â
âthatâs right.â
âIâm going to kill Yeo-min?â
âThere are rumors like that going around. âIt was secret, but everyone who would listen heard it.â
Xu Liang frowned.
âWhy do I kill him? âI donât know if itâs Guan Pyeong or Jin Gwan Yong.â
Soyeonsim nodded.
âI think so. âThere is no need for the three princesses to care about the seven princesses, and they are not the type to do so.â
âBut then there was that rumor?â
âyes. As I said, it was a fairly secret rumor. Butâ¦â
âDo rumors spread quickly?â
âyes. I think I was the first to hear about it, but Iâm sure the heads of other organizations have heard of it by now. âAs time passes, it will reach the ears of everyone on campus.â
âI see.â
Seo-ryangâs eyes sparkled.
âI have no intention of doing so, and of course I did not spread such rumors. But that doesnât mean such rumors spread without reason.â
ââ¦.â
âSomeone leaked it from behind.â
Soyeonsimâs face hardened.
âDo you think he is the archduke?â
âIt doesnât matter who started the rumor, whether it was Jin Guanyong or Guan Ping. âI donât really want to know.â
âWhy?â
âI was going to kill them both anyway. Itâs just a matter of when.â
So Yeon-sim felt speechless at such a simple answer.
âBut the problem here is.â
Xu Liangâs eyes narrowed.
âI heard that Yeo-min could be harmed.â
I thought that not because of me, but because of someone who encouraged the rumor, Chae Yeo-min could be hurt. Of course, we cannot be sure that there is someone behind the rumor.
After thinking for a moment, Seoryang licked his lips.
âIâll have to think about it later. Anyway, thank you. Thanks to you, I got some good information.â
âThatâs not much information. Besides, to put it bluntly, even if the Seven Princesses die at the hands of the Three Princesses, no one will be able to say anything about it.â
It was a cruel thing to say, but it was true.
It is a battle between the next gods who will lead the next generation of Protestantism. Is there anything more ridiculous than introducing human ways into the battle of gods?
âHowever, there is a possibility that public opinion will deteriorate significantly.â
âI guess so.â
âWhat do you plan to do?â
Seolyang leaned back in his chair as if drowsy, his eyes shining.
âIâm going to go have a cup of tea.â
âyes? With whom?â
âThere is such a person. He has the amazing ability to convey his thoughts without words using just his eyes. âHe has a smart head, too.â
ââ¦A total military?â
Seo-ryang stood up and pointed to the training hall with his thumb.
âHow about before that? Letâs say thank you and have a game of force.â
