Childhood Friend of the Zenith Chapter 552

[Episode 552] Shaman.

“what are you doing…?”

This is what Gu Ryeong-hwa, who finished training in the morning wind, said while looking at the situation unfolding in front of her eyes.

“What?”

Gu Ryeong-hwa asked while looking at her brother who was yawning next to him.

Then, Gu Yang-cheon roughly removes the mucus and spits out words.

“Don’t you see? You’re dumb.”

“No, so…”

Why are you doing that all of a sudden?

Gu Ryeong-hwa held back the words she wanted to ask.

Besides that, there were a lot of things I wanted to say.

‘What is it really?’

Guryeong-hwa narrowed her eyes as she forcibly controlled the cheeks that were about to inflate.

Above the gravel fields where the valley flows. Two young men are facing each other.

On the one hand, it was a young man wearing a white uniform that symbolizes the volcanic faction.

The other was a pale-skinned young man in an old uniform he had picked up from somewhere.

From what I heard, Gu Ryeong-hwa said that he was an acquaintance of his brother, and that he knew his personal qualities.

‘I think he said he was a Kunlun group.’

It was something I didn’t know well about the old age.

He said he had never seen a Kunlun sect master, but that young man was quite foreign to be called a master master.

‘Something…cool.’

cold and sharp

That was the impression Guryunghwa had when he saw the young man.

“Are those two really doing a dance?”

“I will be standing there.”

Gu Yang-chun’s unique, nonchalant way of speaking annoyed Gu Ryeong-hwa.

‘This oppa is real.’

He didn’t reply to dozens of letters he sent.

Even though it’s been a long time since we met, the attitude was like this.

‘I didn’t get along that well. Isn’t that a bit too much?’

It was once upon a time that her siblings were so close.

It’s understandable that it’s somewhat awkward and uncomfortable.

It was also a part of the effort to solve it.

However, when this human comes out like this, it is the part that makes me angry even as a old man.

Even though she felt this, Gu Ryeong-hwa endured her anger.

Because right now is not the time to express this.

Gu Ryeong-hwa looked at her ugly brother and asked what she said.

“Do you really think that person can beat Yeongpung Sajil?”

he heard If that pale young man wins in this battle.

They said they would tell them why they were heading to the shaman.

Hearing this, Gu Ryeong-hwa had to make a dumbfounded expression.

‘Nonsense.’

At first glance, the opponent is a soldier of the same age as Youngpoong.

Even apart from his height, his muscles seemed weak.

A body that looks like it will break if you hit it.

Can such a person really defeat Yeongpung?

‘It can’t be.’

Guryeonghwa asserted.

I mean it can’t be.

If it was someone else, it would have been a different story if it was Youngpoong.

Who is Youngpoong?

The youngest plum swordsman of the volcano faction.

Currently, he is a genius who is evaluated as the best volcano.

In addition, he has now obtained his ‘giyeon’.

It was clear that Young Poong would fly at a faster speed.

A late age index who can beat such a young wind?

Guryunghwa was nowhere to be seen.

‘no….’

While thinking, Gu Ryeong-hwa looked to the side.

There was another yawning Guyangcheon.

“…”

Gu-ryeong didn’t look like a painter, but he did seem to have one more superior to him that Young-pung thought.

that’s that human

‘…why…?’

Did you feel that someone was talking about you?

Gu Yangchun frowns and is digging his ears hard.

The appearance was quite unappealing.

‘…why?’

Gu Ling-hua was interested in Gu Yang-chun in his own way, so he knew about Gu Yang-chun’s past events and rumors.

Jinryong conquered the Yongbong branch and got the dragon’s name.

After that, right after he got the nickname of the youngest peak.

A hero who cut off the slaughter by stopping the master of Sapa in the terrible incident that took place in Shinryonggwan.

Thus, he even received a new nickname, Soyeomra.

At that time, the name of Guyangcheon was spread to the extent that it was noisy in the central plains.

It’s just that no one believed the rumors.

Even the bloodline Guryunghwa.

Do you know what the nickname that followed Guyangcheon after the youngest climax was?

‘You’re the youngest Hwagyeong. That’s ridiculous.’

Even if it was a rumor, it was too much to say.

No matter how bloodlines are, there are things that can be crossed over and things that aren’t.

Since Gu Ryeong-hwa was clearly a soldier, I could see how far-fetched those rumors were.

‘There’s no way that person would do that.’

When I saw it at the volcano.

Gu Ling-Hwa heard that Gu Yang-Chun had solved the case to some extent.

He has never been seen in direct combat.

I just heard that he miraculously overcame the peak unmanned.

He wasn’t just a crazy person.

He has what he calls talent.

He’s just watching that.

Unlike Gu Ryeong-hwa, Yeong-Pung seemed to see Gu Yang-Cheon differently.

Even when rumors spread that he had conquered the Yongbong branch.

‘It’s also the old small cooperative.’

Even when rumors spread that he was the youngest to peak.

‘As expected… It’s the old small cooperative!’

Even when he returned to the Volcano Squad after the Shenryongguan accident.

‘…As expected… It was an old small cooperative…’

Those were the words Yeongpoong used to speak.

Even when the heights rise.

Even when the plum blossoms in the sword gradually become more splendid.

There was only one place that Youngpoong could see.

I want to beat someone.

I want to reach someone.

Youngpoong’s eyes were looking at something far away.

Gu Ryeong-hwa thought it was Gu Yang-cheon.

I don’t know why Yeongpung looks at Guyangchun that way.

anyway.

I thought, of course, that Youngpoong and Yangchun would be the one to fight.

Since I was doing that with someone I had never heard of, I couldn’t understand it.

“Why do you think he will lose?”

“…”

Gu Ryeong-hwa did not answer Gu Yang-chun’s question.

This was positive.

In response, Gu Yangchen laughed slightly.

Seeing that, Gu Ryeong-hwa’s brow narrowed.

“Why are you laughing?”

“No, I thought it was a natural reaction.”

Gu Yangchun seemed to know that the current situation was strange.

but.

“But just watch.”

Gu Yangchen’s eyes were the same as usual.

“Because I don’t think it will be as expected.”

to such a reaction.

Gu Ryeong-hwa slowly moved her gaze back to the two of them.

*

Shoot ah-!

The sound of a waterfall spreading around the valley.

A gentle breeze and slowly moving clouds.

In the quiet atmosphere, Youngpoong looked straight ahead.

I see a young man with a sword.

Pale skin with sparse hair is impressive.

A gesture with no energy whatsoever.

Seeing such a young man, Youngpoong slightly shifts his gaze.

It was in the direction of Guyangcheon.

He was looking at the two of them with interest, showing off his distinctive eyes.

‘What are you thinking?’

Looking at him, Youngpoong thinks.

What the hell is Yangcheon thinking?

Why did he make his last name stamp with him?

Maybe he thought he wasn’t good enough to stick with him? Remembering this, Yeongpoong laughed bitterly.

‘It’s not wrong.’

Yeongpung knew it as soon as he saw Guyangcheon.

‘…I can’t feel anything.’

I can barely feel its presence.

He could not grasp the state of the old Yangchun.

This means that the level of Guyangcheon is significantly higher than that of Yeongpung.

It was like that in the past, but it feels like Guyangcheon is going up to a much higher sky than then.

such a fact.

‘also.’

Youngpoong felt welcome again.

If he himself somehow tries to move forward, he is further ahead.

He even increased his speed to go faster and farther.

Seeing that, Youngpoong moved like a dog to follow.

when I see you at first.

It was Gu Yang-cheon who made him realize that he was a frog in the well.

It destroyed the arrogance that was building the wall.

He was the one who set himself a goal he would never stop at.

A goal that can run without a break.

that much.

‘I thought I might have gotten a little closer.’

Unfortunately, it’s still a long way off. This kind of thought just comes to me.

‘…Even with his energy.’

I obeyed the will of the Great One. still not enough

‘How far are you going?’

Yeongpung was fascinated by Guyangcheon.

How far do you want to go? How can you go ahead at such a speed?

If Yeongpoong falls into arrogance even a little and tries to raise his shoulders.

It feels like Guyangcheon came and pressed me down.

It feels exhausting, but I’m glad it’s because Young Poong isn’t in his right mind either.

Thinking about it made me laugh a little.

but.

‘Whatever it was.’

Guyangcheon always had his own will.

It will be the same this time too.

There were regrets about not being able to dance with Gu Yang-cheon and subtle dissatisfaction that I had to stick with Seong-yul.

Yeongpung believed in Gu Yangchun.

He raised his sword towards his opponent.

“i look forward to. castle seal.”

“…”

At Yeongpoong’s words, Sungyul just quietly raises his sword.

There is no answer.

At the same time, I feel a sense of uneasiness.

Seeing that, Youngpoong had to tilt his head inwardly.

‘What is it?’

How do you flutter like that?

I couldn’t tell.

One does not careless.

The fact that Gu Yang-cheon made Gu Tae-yeo and Seong-yul stick together. He decided he was worth it.

“Begin.”

voice goes down

Young Poong immediately made a bet.

Whoops-! Starting with the Danjeon, a tremendous amount of pottery bursts out.

Soon, it pierced the body and began to spray in all directions.

‘Turn it off…!’

Feeling the pottery swallowing up his surroundings, Yeongpung swallowed the saliva inwardly.

It was too strong.

The pottery was so huge that it was out of control.

It was even rougher.

‘The petals are boiling.’

Perception is like that.

Roughness is mixed with plum leaves, which were fluttering and soft.

It is unreasonable to have complete control.

Yeongpoong barely managed to control the amount of discharge by wrapping the pottery around his body.

thud-!

Steps that should be taken lightly carry weight.

as it is.

Whoop-!

The spirit wind rushes out like a shot.

“oh.”

Gu Yangcheon, seeing such a young wind, expressed a small admiration.

Shiiyi-!

Powerful pottery was wrapped around the blade of the sword that cut through the air.

‘It’s soft.’

Youngpoong was sweating as he swung that sword.

From Gu Yangchun’s point of view, his impression was different.

Hwasan’s sword path has lightness and softness.

like petals scattering.

It is full of fresh feeling as it is called the Maehwa sword method.

One of the most beautiful sword techniques.

Those in the middle courts are saying it while looking at Hwasan’s sword.

‘People don’t know how difficult it is.’

Most people don’t know what it actually means.

‘The sword’s softness means, in other words, that it’s hard to apply force.’

Putting sharpness into a sword that is hard to give such strength to without harming the sword path.

How fine-grained control was required.

Most will not know.

also.

‘That’s why the warriors of the volcano are physically superior.’

Around the time when I found the volcanic wave in the past.

I was surprised by the ridiculous strength training and hard body.

I know now.

‘It’s a compulsory body to use that sword properly.’

The sword of the volcano must contain a high degree of meticulousness.

In order to control it, you have to endure the strain that comes to your body.

In order to use such a soft sword, he also had to have a hard lower body.

I have to do that.

Shiiyi-!

Because he could use the volcanic sword properly.

Young Wind’s sword cut through the air.

The pottery that spreads from the body flies as it interlocks with the sword.

Its appearance is like petals scattering.

Seeing this, Yangchen laughed.

‘The quality is different.’

when we first met

Young Poong barely blooms plum blossoms.

Such spirit wind was now in full bloom.

It is not the shallow petals that were shown at the time.

It was a real exhaust petal that true plum swordsmen show.

Hwaaak-!

It’s a pity that I can’t control my energy properly.

Even considering that, it was great.

‘Yeongpung has already escaped.’

in the domain of late exponents. That too would be out of the way.

In my opinion, if Youngpoong’s appearance like that spreads properly in midfield.

I felt like I could pass on the name Geomryong.

If so, maybe.

‘In just ten years, I’ll be able to pass the position of Sword King.’

Maybe faster than that, I don’t know.

Young Poong was developing his talent to such an extent.

‘It’s different from my previous life.’

From my point of view, Young Poong is one of the few people who has changed for the better from his previous life.

The genius who fell under the weight of his own talent is gone.

Youngpoong found his way without being blocked by his talent.

Young Poong’s appearance was shining with the flower petals.

‘still.’

The opponent of such a young wind will not be easy.

Kkang-!

The sound of swords clashing.

Let a clear sound resound.

“…Huh?”

At the same time, a startled sound was heard from the side of Guyangcheon.

It was the voice of the old man.

She had a very surprised expression on her face.

It must be so.

Kkang-! Chick-Geek-!

The sword of Youngpoong, which is called the best equipment and is outside the realm of the late index.

“That…what…?”

It was because Seong-yul was passing it off casually.

‘Opponent too. He’s a candidate for the sword king.’

If it is said that the swordsman’s nickname was later taken by the demon swordsman.

No one took the position of the Sword King in his previous life.

It was because it was not long after Demon Sword Hu killed her father, the Sword King of Changchun.

Because of that, the seat of the Sword King was vacant.

There were quite a few people who could be called candidates.

At that time, Hwasan was extinct and Yeongpung also disappeared, so there was no candidate.

Sword Demon is different.

He was one of the people who were nominated for the Sword King.

However, like the swordsman, there were few parts to show strength or a record of destroying one of the four major powers alone, so I couldn’t climb it in the end.

Perhaps, if he had risen, he would have been called the Demon Sword King (魔劍王), similar to Demon Sword Hu.

‘I don’t feel like a burglar, though.’

As much as most of the masters who use the sword died.

It was an ambiguous position to be called the Sword King.

No matter what.

‘Anyway, that means he’s even been nominated.’

Even if the name of the sword king is not the name of a dog or a demon, the fact that he was nominated is not different.

This means that the Sword Demon has some value.

As the sex ratio proves it.

Kkang-! Kkang-!

The young Sword Demon did not back down even an inch against the blooming Young Wind.

Twisting and disorganizing the spirit wind’s sword path.

Shiiik-!

If it showed a slight gap, it even went in.

‘I’m passing the physical difference into the flow.’

His temperament is lower than that of Youngpoong in terms of strength and body.

The difference is in the rate.

Kirik-!

She used the sword face to ward off Young Wind’s attack.

Young Poong’s expression when he experiences this firsthand also changes.

‘what?’

When he raises his sword, his sanity already moves and shakes the sword path.

The tip of the sword, even slightly twisted, loses its strength. deviate from the desired path.

I take steps to cover it up.

widely-!

“…!”

As soon as Youngpoong moved, Sungyul also moved his toes in line with it.

The distance neither shortens nor recedes.

Youngpoong had to feel a sense of alienation in this situation.

The level of performance is much higher than expected.

A level similar to that of Yeongpoong, who gained talent.

Youngpoong should have been quite surprised by this.

What’s more surprising than that.

‘…I can’t feel Kunlun’s sword.’

The point was that the sword of the Kunlunpa could not be felt in the sword of Sungyul.

There should definitely be a unique feeling there.

There was nothing like that in the sword of the Holy Spirit.

shhh-! Kkang-!

The sword blades collided, and sounds and bets exploded.

Seong-yul’s body shook more because of the different powers he possessed.

At that time, Young Poong does not miss it and digs into it.

I lowered my stance.

change the sword I couldn’t cut it with the blade, so I had to hit it with the blade.

I was about to swing my sword at Yeongpoong.

“…!”

In an instant, Sungyul’s eyes changed. I raised my speed and moved my sword.

It must be a body that cannot be controlled by recoil.

Seong-yul grabs it and forcibly moves his arm.

For such an attack, the speed is unbelievably fast.

Shhhhh-!

‘this!’

At such a bizarre movement, Yeongpung also turned his sword.

It was to block the attack of the Holy Spirit.

but.

The sword of the Holy Spirit was strangely fast.

So much so that it’s hard to avoid.

Were you hiding your original power? Youngpoong thought of that.

at that time.

[stop.]

“…!”

In Seong-yul’s ears, he hears Yangcheon’s voice.

In an instant, the sword path of the holy rate slowed down.

Soon after, Youngpoong swung his sword there.

I’m going to go to the middle of the day! The blades of the swords pass each other dangerously.

Pan-! They spread their distance by pouring attacks on each other.

“Whoa…whoo…”

As if surprised by the sudden situation, Youngpoong caught his breath and looked at Sungyul.

Seong-yul was touching my cheek while standing like before.

shiver.

Blood was flowing from his cheek.

It must have been cut by Yeongpoong’s swordsmanship.

“…”

Seong-yul, in fact, was widening his eyes as if he was surprised by something, as if he didn’t care much about his wounds.

Youngpoong asked, looking at the Sungyul.

“…the castle seal.”

At the call, Seong-yul looks at Young-pung.

“Why did you slow down at the end?”

Youngpung asked Seongyul why he slowed down at the time of the attack that Youngpung might have suffered if he had not slowed it down.

The rate of this.

“…I’m afraid… I’ll kill you.”

He replied in a voice that he didn’t quite understand.

Does he not understand what he was trying to kill?

or not.

Does he not understand why he stopped trying to kill?

Youngpoong didn’t know.

“…after….”

swish-!

He put the sword he was holding into the scabbard and spit out words.

“…lose.”

The expression of admitting defeat did not seem to like it, but it seemed a little cool.

“…There are still many people I don’t know in the world, and it seems like I have a long way to go. Are you sure you wanted to show me this? The old small cooperative.”

Yeongpung also thought that Guyangchun had a will.

“…yes…? Ah yes… yes… it is.”

Hearing this from a distance, Yangchun Gu wanted to know what he was talking about.

‘What is he saying now?’

He seemed to be thinking something strange, but he decided not to deny it.

It didn’t seem like a bad idea.

‘I win that one.’

Yangchun Gu also found this incident a bit strange.

He didn’t expect to lose because his performance rate was pushed back.

He hadn’t expected to defeat Youngpoong.

‘I was just trying to test something.’

I was trying to find out something using Youngpoong.

I didn’t know how to solve this.

‘Young Poong isn’t weaker than Seong Yool.’

It is true that the performance rate is stronger than expected.

The spirit wind was not weaker than that.

It’s just that I can’t get my energy back and I can’t show my strength properly.

Perhaps, if everything is settled and I get to meet Seong-yul again.

‘Young Poong will win.’

Objectively, it seemed so.

‘It’s not that important.’

Yangcheon Gu was watching the situation of Seong-yul rather than the current win or loss.

As if surprised, Seong-yul enlarged his yellow eyes.

He was staring at Gu Yangchun as if he felt something.

Seeing that, he laughed.

‘This is how it works.’

Around the time when Seong-yul tried to use the power of the Celestial Killer in the middle of the dance.

Gu Yangchun tried something on Seongyul.

As a result, the Celestial Star, which tried to control Seong-yul’s body, was crushed and blocked.

Looking at it, Guyangcheon judged that it was not a bad harvest.

Of course, it still needs to be tested further.

Maybe.

‘Can I use that guy?’

Guyangchun felt like he knew how to suppress the Sword Demon’s Celestial Star.

*

By the time the rain dance was over and it was lunchtime.

The moment he was about to grill and eat the fish Seong-yul caught in the valley.

I had to put on a dumbfounded expression after hearing what Yeongpoong said.

“…what did you just say?”

I wanted to hear the reason why the two of them went to the shaman according to the promise of Bimu.

The words Yeongpoong brought out were truly bullshit.

Youngpoong said as he looked at me stiff as if holding a fish.

“…I am….”

The words he spat out to me very carefully, in case anyone would listen.

“…It seems that he has become the successor to the Hwasan Senseon Sword.”

“…?”

It was something I couldn’t understand at all.
