“Faster!”
Paaaaat!
“Right!”
Un Gum smiled broadly and nodded.
‘It feels great.’
Jasodan’s effectiveness was simply astounding.
‘Thanks to Yeongdan, the young one was full of spirit.’
The energy the disciples’ swords carried surpassed that of the previous ones.
Even the Un Gum, the Instructor, is caught off guard by that sharp swing sometimes, so what can he say about the effect?
Un Gum, of course, has entered a new state after consuming Jasodan, but younger disciples appear to benefit more. How else could they be so animated?
Whoosh.
‘Gomgi?’
Un Gum’s eyes widened as he noticed the edge of the disciple’s sword creating Gomgi.
‘Oh my goodness….’
Of course, Gomgi isn’t perfect.
By now, Baek Chun should be able to perform Gomgi and Gomgang.
“I don’t want to talk to him about it!” Chung Myung declared.
However, it was fantastic that ordinary disciples here unconsciously made Gomgi while training. Doesn’t this imply that the disciples’ level has risen significantly?
‘Hahaha. It’s Mount Hua’s red peach.’
Un Gum found it difficult to calm the burning heart.
He has a strong desire to drink despite having not drunk in a long time.
‘It’s all because of Chung Myung.’
How ridiculous was it the first time Chung Myung showed up and sneaked into him for a deal?
He’ll never forget how he felt when he saw the youngest, who had beaten all the Sahyung and forced them to train just a few days after joining the sect.
‘It was the right decision.’
The solution was to entrust the third-class disciples to Chung Myung with a gambling mentality. This point was reached as a result of one small decision.
Seeing the disciples grow stronger by the day and Mount Hua develops fills him up even without eating.
It’s only…
Un Gum’s face darkened slightly.
One issue comes to mind.
Un Gum, who was distraughtly looking at his disciples, sighed and opened his mouth.
“Keep training, everyone.”
“Yes, Gwanju nim!”
He quietly nodded his head and moved on in response to the loud response. He was on his way to Sect Leader’s house, of course.
* * *
Un Gum made a slightly awkward face at Hyun Jong.
‘I just can’t get used to it.’
Looking at Hyun Jong, who appears to have aged 20 years, causes him to smile awkwardly.
Of course, he recalls how he used to be, so it’s not that strange……
‘It’s strangely different from back then.’
Should he say that the person has become clearer rather than just getting younger?
In any case, it was a difficult change to put into words.
“Yes. What occurred?”
Hyun Jong looked at Un Gum, slightly surprised.
Unlike Un Am, who came to him for various reasons, Un Gum came to him for no apparent reason. It was natural for him to be preoccupied with teaching children and sharpening his own swords.
Un Gum requested to meet with not only the Sect Leader, but also with other Elders.
As a result, Hyun Jong was forced to be nervous while waiting for Un Gum’s words.
“Sect Leader.”
“Yes, Un Gum.”
“I don’t have any more swordsmanship to teach the children.”
“…….”
Hyun Jong’s brow furrows.
“What do you mean?”
“Children develop day by day, and there is nothing to teach. Already, the second-class disciples and the third-class disciples received not only the Taeulmi Sword (태을미리검(太乙迷離劍)), Bokho Chungyang Sword (복호청양검(伏虎靑陽劍)), but also the Seven Plum Sword, which was recently recovered.”
“… That’s right.”
“If it was the usual, I should move on to the next one…”
Hyun Jong sighed quietly.
“I see. There will be no more.”
Before the age of 30, the disciples of a prestigious sect are taught even the highest level of the sect’s swordsmanship.
In Mount Hua, however, there is no such thing as the next.
Seven Plum Sword was the best of the swords that are now passed down in Mount Hua. Previously, Seven Plum Sword was simply a prerequisite for learning the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Technique.
Un Gum coughed loudly but in vain.
“I was able to hold on until they took the Jasodan. Even though the transfer was over, the children didn’t learn the Seven Pum Sword perfectly. But now…….”
It appeared that Hyun Jong no longer needed to listen.
Children with much stronger bodies cannot be satisfied with traditional swordsmanship. It’s about time they yearned for more powerful swordplay.
After taking in all of the circumstances, Hyun Jong sighs.
‘How should I proceed?’
There is no need to be concerned if it is the Mount Hua of the past. He would have taught the Sword Technique of the Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms.
Mount Hua’s essence and root are the Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique.
Of course, this was not the end of Mount Hua’s swordsmanship, but any Mount Hua disciple aimed to complete the Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique.
However, Mount Hua is currently in a similar situation and has lost all of its swordsmanships.
“Ugh. This is an issue…..”
“What am I supposed to do with nothing?”
Hyun Young grunted, slightly irritated.
That was the part he didn’t try to remember. However, it has reached a point where it can no longer be ignored.
Hyun Jong had a troubled expression on his face.
“Hmm.”
Because it’s swordplay.
Un Gum simply stated that dissatisfaction would mount if the children did not improve their sword technique, but this was also important for the sect’s future.
Finally, if Mount Hua is to reclaim its former glory, higher-level sword technique is required. How can a swordsman who lacks swordsmanship be considered among the best?
“We can no longer turn a blind eye. It has been postponed for various reasons, but we must now find a solution.”
Everyone nodded solemnly in response to Hyun Jong’s words.
“If you have any opinions, don’t hesitate to tell me. No matter how absurd it may be.”
“Yes, Sect Leader.”
Everyone started to think more seriously.
However, no one could easily open their mouth because there was no response.
“Well.”
Hyun Sang was the first to voice his opinion.
“Sect Leader.”
“Yes, tell me.”
“In my opinion, instead of looking for something that doesn’t exist, how about inventing a new martial art instead?”
“Create?”
Hyun Jong smirked.
“Will that work?”
“I know it will be difficult, but it will be a lot easier than finding real martial arts.”
“Heh! That makes no sense. Sahyung!”
Hyun Young laughed.
“What isn’t possible? Have we not restored Jasodan?”
“Did Sahyung make it?”
“…….”
Hyun Young opened his ax’s eyes wide.
“Don’t mistake something that Chung Myung did for us. It’s not that Mount Hua has developed, it’s just that Chung Myung is hitting, banging even hitting quakes with his feet! What did Sahyung so proud of?”
“Hmph.”
Hyun Sang blushed if he had nothing to say.
“Also! When you say martial arts, do they come out right away? Who will make them? Sahyung?”
“…….”
“Or is it Un Gum?”
Un Gum dodged his gaze.
“Is martial arts a joke? Do you think we can make Seven Plum Sword if we all jump in and wrap our heads together? It won’t even come out! If it’s that easy in the first place, then, well, Shaolin will still be able to make the Plum Sword Technique with ease!”
Hyun Sang raised his head with an awkward face and coughed
“I’m not saying I’m going to restore the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Swordsmanship. Just slightly better than the Seven Plum Swords…”
However, he soon closed his mouth, blurring the end of his words. The response was apparently not very good.
Right, it was a little too much.
Then Hyun Young turned his head and looked at Hyun Jong.
“Not like this, let’s call Chung Myung.”
“……Huh? Why Chung Myung?”
“He’s a guy who falls down while jumping and finds the Seven Plum Sword, and if we give him a pickaxe and ask him to dig somewhere, will he get only Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Swordsmanship? There might be something bigger!”
The scariest thing is that those words are sincere.
Hyun Jong trembled after confirming that Hyun Young had no mischief in his eyes.
He was worried that he would make a Chung Myung bridge and sit on it.
“Chung Myung isn’t some kind of goblin, what is it that he makes you rush?”
“If the goblin sees Chung Myung, he should be the older brother! And maybe he is a real goblin. Take a look at it this time, too! Didn’t he make it right away when we said we needed a pot? Even a goblin can’t do that.”
“No, that’s…….”
Hyun Jong, who was going to say something, flinched for a moment.
“Wait…….”
Hyun Jong’s face changed several times in a short period of time.
“The Everlasting Metal pot. Yes…. Yes! The pot!”
“Huh?”
Hyun Young looked at Hyun Jong with a face that was as if he didn’t understand.
“Go get Chung Myung! Right now!”
“Yes!”
Un Gum was startled and stormed out of the room.
—
“New martial arts?”
“That’s right.”
“…….”
Chung Myung has a subtle look on his face.
‘It wasn’t that they weren’t thinking about it either.’
Chung Myung thought that the next swordsmanship was needed. Judging by these words, doesn’t it mean that they were also diligently thinking about the next process?
Still, he had a hard time figuring out how to deliver the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Swordsmanship.
“But why are you telling me that?”
Of course, he shouldn’t make it obvious.
“Chung Myung ah. Take a pickaxe and dig somewhere. Just in case, there’s something else….”
Hyun Sang closed Hyun Young’s mouth without saying a word and dragged him.
“Eup!”
Then Hyun Young was quickly subdued as he struggled.
Seeing that, Chung Myung smacked his lips as if he was disappointed.
‘It could’ve been easier.’
That’s not helping, man.
“So that’s what it is, Chung Myung ah.”
“Yes.”
Hyun Jong looked at Chung Myung and asked.
“You know, that pot……”
Chung Myung flinched.
‘Why is that story coming out here? Don’t tell me…?’
“How did you make that pot?”
“What?”
Chung Myung asked back as if he had not properly grasped the intention of the question. And then he worked his head furiously.
‘How should I handle this….’
“Didn’t you cut and bend it?”
“Oh…. Yes, that’s right!”
Chung Myung nodded furiously.
If there was a question about where to get Everlasting Metal, he would have written an epic poem for the answer, but it was fortunate that the direction was this way.
“That means you can cut Everlasting Metal, right?”
“Hahaha. What are you saying again now! I’m Chung Myung! Chung Myung!”
Chung Myung did not intend to hide his martial art anymore.
It’s been reported that he has sparred with Tang Gaju, beat Tang Wei, and even beat Inkscale Blood Serpent. What’s the use of humility now?
‘I’d rather enjoy…….’
“Yes! Yes, Everlasting Metal! You can cut Everlasting Metal!”
Chung Myung tilted his head as he looked at Hyun Jong, who has a bright complexion.
‘What are you trying to say?’
Hyun Jong succumbed to his excitement and spoke his words.
“I have kept it a secret from you, but in Mount Hua, there is a note that has been written by Sect Leader from generation to generation.”
“What?”
“Was there a place like that?”
“Unfortunately, the way to open the door was impossible. In addition, not only the door but also the entire warehouse was made of Everlasting Metal, so until now, it was untouchable.”
“Such a thing…!”
Expectations were high on everyone’s faces.
Because they understand what Hyun Jong is saying now.
If it was a warehouse that the Sect leaders from generation used to generation, they would have collected important items of the sect.
Then there’s a high probability that there’s a copy of Mount Hua’s own high-level martial art as well as the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Swordsmanship!
“Then we can open the door!”
“Yes! Since Chung Myung said he can cut Everlasting Metal!”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Chung Myung.
“…….”
But what caught their eyes was the face of Chung Myung, who had become contemplative.
“Sect……Sect Leader’s warehouse?”
“Yes!”
“O-Open it up and go in?”
“Cut it and go in. Because you can cut Everlasting Metal!”
“Haha… Ha. That’s a great idea. Well, that’s…….”
Chung Myung, whose face was hazy, rolled his eyes.
‘Uh…’
‘I can’t do this.’
‘I cut the ceiling and used it as a pot…….’
And then he smiled pleasedly.
‘I’m screwed.’
‘Cheon Mun Sahyung!’
‘Save me! ‘
