Chapter 213 – King Yan’s Disciple 2 (40)

It’s been a while since I made the bulb jelly and the fence.

In the meantime, I also introduced her mother to female skills, and she learned them as quickly as her sister-in-law.

Perhaps my provision of Yin-attribute mana and performing Daeju Heaven a few times with it would be of great help in learning the basics of the female protagonist.

I felt fortunate that Naeun could easily learn this.

The day after coming down from Huangshan Mountain and visiting Giru, I am in the room with my two older brothers.

“It seems like the Jeongeum Sangdan has reduced its size a bit.”

My eldest brother noticed the recent movements and told me.

When we talked that day, Jeon Jeon-muk seemed like he wanted to go straight to Wuhan, but the problem he had created was a bit big, so he had to settle it.

If the Jeongeum Trading Company reduces its size and adjusts the price to the level of the original trading table, it is unlikely that it will suffer any loss even if the Han Trading Company’s profits decrease.

“But there is no guarantee that something like this won’t happen again in the future.”

“So shouldn’t we prepare something too?”

The second brother said.

This time, we clearly felt the limits of trade in basic daily necessities.

I needed something special, but even when the whole family gathered, I couldn’t come up with anything.

It would be the easiest way for me to use the magic circle to create something helpful.

“I think I’ll have to go around the midfield and find something special.”

“There may be a need to trade with places farther away.”

If I learn things like the preservation magic circle and bring about innovation in transportation, the routes for our merchants will become even wider.

Or how much brighter the world would be if you could carve a magic circle that can emit light and use it instead of a candle?

I thought that since the Smoke Flame God Technique utilized heat and fire, that would be a good excuse.

“But the old man King Yeom is not coming back.”

My eldest brother spoke to me carefully.

“You may have gotten caught up in something like last time. There hasn’t been any news of youkai around Anhui recently, so you may have gone far away. At your speed, Master, I don’t even know where you would be by now.”

“He is in a state that is difficult for us to imagine, so it is difficult to even guess where he is right now.”

The master went to Namgung House, which he could reach within two days, and then contact was cut off.

I am practicing alone on Mt. Huangshan, but without a teacher, it was difficult to fill the space with pure heat.

Still, the duration of the Falun Resonance is gradually increasing, so 2 minutes and 30 seconds is not far away.

If we go up this time, won’t we be able to reach it?

At that time, I felt someone outside and then heard the servant’s voice.

“Brothers, a master from the Jeongeum Sangdan has come to visit us, leading a group of people.”

At the servant’s words, the eldest brother stood up first.

“It would be a good idea to go.”

“Yes. Brother, let’s go out. Sian, you too.”

“I understand.”

What my brother and I saw when we went outside was Jeon Geum Sang-dan’s Jeon Geum Sang-dan and a person who appeared to be a warrior.

If he had planned to use force to attack him, he would have already done so, but he was waiting calmly at the entrance.

“Major, what did you visit for?”

“I’m going to test my money. The person here is the most outstanding warrior I’ve been able to hire with the money I’ve accumulated since the defeat in Han Sohyeop and Wuhan.”

“This is Jo Soo-baek.”

The man next to him took the gun and slightly lowered his head.

Is he a little older than me? He was wearing a slightly worn gray military uniform, so his skills seemed more evident.

“Can I request a meeting between Han Sohyeop and Jo Sohyeop?”

Since it seemed like I was involved in the story, I came forward before my eldest brother.

“What do you plan to bet on this dance?”

“I want to confirm that the path I chose was not wrong. In a way, I want to see how much the gap can be narrowed in just three months. I want to confirm that.”

Jeon Jeon-muk bowed his head to me as he took the gun.

Our paths have already diverged. Because they can’t catch up with me by force, I’ve increased my financial power and I think I’d like to compare each other’s progress so far.

“Is Jo Sohyeop okay?”

“They said they would arrange a meeting with Sohyeop, a disciple of King Yeom, and even give him money, so there is no reason to refuse, right?”

I can’t read people’s energy properly yet, but Jo Soo-baek felt like he was at a top-notch level.

Whether I accepted this sparring or not, Jeon Jeon-muk’s next move was determined.

I will go to Wuhan and earn money to look after Yeonhwa Sojeo or recommend her to register again.

I think it would be a good idea to completely get rid of any lingering regrets so that you can focus on that.

“I will accept it.”

“Then, tomorrow, at Shinsicho, I will prepare a place in the center of the Red Realm.”

Are you talking about 3pm? I thought it was a pretty appropriate time.

“I will do so.”

Jeon Jeon-muk, Jo Su-baek, and even the other warriors all withdrew from the Han manor.

When the people had gone out of sight, my eldest brother asked me.

“Sian, do you think you have a chance of winning?”

“If Cho Sohyeop didn’t hide his skills, I would win.”

“I’m sure.”

“Yes. I also worked hard for three months.”

The progress of Falun Resonance is really slow, but I tried my best.

I have no intention of losing to the martial artist I hired with the money I earned over the past 3 months.

The second brother tapped my shoulder and said.

“But Xian, that Zhao Xiaohyeop also has a nickname. I guess it was Four Wind Sword?”

“Brother Siwoo, are you sure?”

“Yes, you were the most promising warrior in the Red Realm before you were given the gift by Elder Yeomwang.”

“Huh? But why have I never heard of it?”

“Didn’t you go to Giru after training in the mountains? Before that, you only went to Giru.”

“Uh. I guess I really wasn’t interested in worldly affairs.”

I suddenly ended up doing a dance with a martial artist with a special nickname.

Come to think of it, I don’t have a nickname yet?

I didn’t really feel anxious because I thought I would get it naturally if I went to the Yongbongbimu Festival.

Because King Yeom’s disciples are stronger than most.

*

The next day, I went to the agreed upon time on time.

My family, servants, and even the people at the top stopped their work and followed me to see Jo Su-baek and I are doing the massage.

The vacant lot in the center was clearly organized as Jeon Jeon-muk said, but wouldn’t it be a bit narrow for me to use my full power?

That would be the same for Jo Soo-baek.

I heard from my second brother that he used a sword technique that blows the wind, so he said it was called the Four Wind Sword. Is it called wind and fire? I think something interesting will happen when we meet.

There was an older-looking warrior standing as the referee, and seeing that he was wearing the same gray uniform as Jo Soo-baek, he seemed to be Jo Soo-baek’s master.

Seeing that the martial arts uniform was set over there, I thought that the system was better organized than those who practiced the Yeonyeom Shingung.

“This is Jo Soo-baek of the Cheongpunggeommun. Although it is not widely known, he has the nickname of Four Winds Sword.”

Even though I was a junior, Jo Soo-baek was the one who took power over me first.

“I am Han Xian, King Yan’s disciple.”

I also bowed my head slightly as I wrapped my arms.

“You two should keep in mind that you are competing and show each other what you have.”

The person at Cheongpunggeommun, who was standing as referee, threw a coin high.

Meanwhile, Jo Soo-baek pulled out his sword from his waist and I also took a stance.

Tak.

Unlike what I expected to hear clearly, the sound of the coin falling on the dirt was dull.

We were concentrating on the sound in a quiet environment, and when we heard the dull sound, we rushed at each other without even looking at each other.

Yeomryun Fist (炎輪拳) Three Wheels (Three Wheels)

He was the first to use the three-wheeled Yeomryunquan, which Jeon Jeon-muk could not withstand.

As it passed through the ring of flame, the fist filled with heat contained great power, and Cho Su-baek blocked the blow with a swing of his sword.

Kagak!

If it weren’t for the white phosphorus flame sword, a sword surrounded by sword energy, my hand would have been hurt.

Four Wheels (Four Wheels)

Instead of stopping there, I went further.

He collected the scattered heat with his first hand and delivered a stronger blow with the other hand.

Kagagak!

Jo Su-baek widened the distance by swinging his sword widely, but there was a limit to his ability to retreat.

He dissipated the energy he had gathered in his fist and stood upright.

“Tsk. Isn’t it a little narrow?”

“It seems so.”

After saying that and returning to my original position, the people around me began to move further away.

The space is more than twice as large, so it is better for us to exert our power.

“Thank you for the consideration of one small cooperative.”

In the situation a little while ago, if I had continued with the Five Rings of Yan Lun Quan, Jo Su-baek would have been defeated.

If it was a Sa faction, it wouldn’t have cared about the people around it, but if it was a political faction, it had no choice but to stop.

“I just wanted to see the real side of Jo Sohyeop.”

“I will show you the essence of Cheongpung Inspection.”

And I don’t think this is bad either.

Again I moved forward.

Jo Soo-baek’s sword was showing a slightly unstable sword energy.

Because he’s a first-class level who can’t use much sword energy? That wasn’t it.

Buuuuung!

Jo Soo-baek swung his sword from a short distance away.

And the wind blew strongly along the sword he thought was unstable.

As it has the nickname Four Wind Sword (使風劍), a sword that blows the wind, the wind blew directly towards my eyes.

A wind so strong that it would be difficult for a normal person to open their eyes suddenly blew, and at the same time I stopped slightly, Jo Joo-baek started moving.

But surprisingly, it had quite a big effect on me.

‘The heat has gone away?’

After using the flame ring twice, the scattered heat disappeared with the wind.

Of course, there is a lot of heat left in my body, but shouldn’t I think about how to deal with this situation later?

I wondered if there was a way to deal with the wind blowing away the heat, but there was one.

I’m still not used to it, so I have to think and unfold it, so I can’t hold on to the flying heat.

Falun Resonance is important, but I also need to increase my Yeom-ae proficiency… ?

“Ha.”

I dodged Jo Su-baek’s sword by pulling back and let out a laugh.

Jo Soo-baek frowned at the sound of my voice, but I didn’t say it because I looked down on Jo Soo-baek’s sword.

‘Master was wrong this time.’

Thinking about that brought a smile to my face.

“A small group of people.”

Jo Soo-baek spoke in a low, growling voice.

“Thanks to Jo Sohyeop, I realized how to move forward.”

“Congratulations on that, but don’t forget to keep your arms out.”

Cho Su-baek changed his expression slightly because he knows how important enlightenment is to the martial people, but as he said, we are in ignorance.

After it’s over, let’s think about teasing Master.

“I haven’t forgotten.”

I immediately took a stance and moved forward.

Flame wheel

“Ah!”

A flame appeared behind Jo So-hyeop’s back, and Jo So-hyeop, who was concentrating on me, quickly turned back due to the heat he felt behind his back.

But Yan Lun is just floating.

When he noticed that, he swung his sword at me again, but it was too late.

Breaking wheel

He moved faster than the sword he was swinging with the force of exploding the flame wheel inside his body.

Five Wheels (Five Wheels)

As soon as my fist passed through five rings of flame, a fist filled with internal energy was lodged in my abdomen.

Poop!

“Wow!”

I think I still prefer one-hit kills.
