Chapter 88 – King Yan’s Disciple (8)

“Master, don’t you have any plans to teach me the walking method yet?”

“It’s a walking method. Do you have a desire to learn it?”

“I think it would be good if I could use it when going to and from Huangshan Mountain.”

Master just walks with long strides and has never shown me that he uses any special walking techniques.

However, if the teacher uses his footwork with all his might, wouldn’t he fly around while spouting flames?

Considering the Yeomryun Fist (炎輪拳), it seemed quite possible.

“Don’t be arrogant just because your martial arts achievements have increased rapidly recently. I’m telling you this late because Yeonyeomshingong (連炎神功) is a technique that doesn’t fit well with walking techniques, so I’m telling you Think about the time when you were training the technique of inner energy. I took in the heat and let it out.”

“Yes. Then, if you use footwork, the heat will continue to flow out, so the circulation will stop.”

“Yes. There are walking techniques, but I use the ones used when moving short distances and usually move on to the body techniques.”

“Master, don’t you think there’s something wrong with our martial arts? We are a martial arts group that learns the release of heat first before the martial arts, and the new method, which can be considered a higher level of footwork, first.”

“So, it’s a divine skill. If it’s that strong, isn’t that enough? Master, when you learned the Yeonyeom Shinkung (連炎神功), you released yang energy by killing bandits, but you only shared the fortunes and sorrows. What a good divine skill it is.” 〈 Br〉

“That’s why I said I would learn.”

If abstinence had been added to the difficult and difficult martial arts training, Han Xian would have never been learned.

However, I endured the ridiculous training not once a month, but once every four days, and as a bonus, my stamina had become stronger, so I enjoyed the training more than having to stop by the gym every day and beg for it before learning martial arts.

Because the effort was rewarded and the reward was so clear, Han Xian persevered and practiced inner strength.

Since Yusian was added to it, I became more greedy for martial arts that showed direct force.

“Now then, let’s cultivate the foundation of spiritual law by practicing fire-fighting techniques.”

“Yes, Master.”

*

These three days of training felt like I was going to die.

Until now, it was a very simple practice where all you had to do was receive the heat that the teacher sprayed and shoot out a flame.

If I couldn’t release the heat, it would be really hot, and I would die, but when the body training was added to the simple training, it felt like death.

I never thought it would be so difficult to use a fire extinguisher while constantly moving.

I kept twisting my body to move my feet, legs, waist, and torso the way I wanted.

Even in such a situation, I had to let out the heat while accepting it without stopping the circulation of internal energy.

It was very difficult because it was training in the body method to go beyond the level of fortune-telling and go beyond the stage of fortune-telling.

Even though I had the status window, the quest did not appear, so there was no result compared to the effort.

And since the power of the flame field could not be fully exercised, the positive energy accumulated more than last time.

So, on the way down Hwangsan Mountain, I kept thinking that I was going to die like this.

“I tried to be a little tight and tsk tsk. Are you going to give up the new law?”

“Shouldn’t we continue? One day we may suddenly become one with the body.”

“That’s right. In the first place, enlightenment comes suddenly.”

It would be better if a quest came unexpectedly.

Today too, on the way from Giru, I tried to do as my eldest brother told me, but I saw the family servant coming out.

“Did your eldest brother send you here?”

“Yes. The youngest master sent me to bring news home when he stops by.”

“It’s because the situation is worse than last time. Has anything special happened at home so far?”

“The second master also finished his journey and returned.”

“Second brother is here? Yes, I understand.”

The servant greeted me and left Giru, and as he went up the 7th floor as usual, he started thinking about his second brother.

If the eldest brother is said to have both talent and character, the second brother, Han Si-woo, is slightly better in martial arts.

If the eldest brother is slightly second-rate, the second brother is second-rate.

However, when the eldest brother gave up martial arts and started studying to forget his family business, the second brother thought he would succeed in martial arts, but he felt a wall and returned home.

As the youngest, I didn’t really think about that because I was naturally attracted to women, but the two of them were different.

Unlike me, who was just using it because he knew he wouldn’t be able to inherit it anyway, my second brother studied the family business belatedly in order to get more of his eldest brother’s shares and became quite skilled.

Even though the eldest brother lacked martial arts skills, he had outstanding commercial skills, which made him a big difference from his second brother.

‘That’s why Han Xian gave up even more.’

It was truly a coincidence that I had given up on everything and stayed stuck in a bunk until I met Master Yeomwang.

While waiting for her meal in her room on the 7th floor, she was sorting out her memories of her second brother. As soon as the courtesan who brought her meal entered her room, she couldn’t help but feel excited.

*

Today too, five people, including Rouge, came together to calm me down, but my energy remained.

Using Shadow Mastery, I created negative mana to remove the remaining positive energy.

Until now, I’ve made it mostly for shadow craft, but I made it for the first time to remove the remaining yang energy from my body.

It took quite some time to gradually neutralize and eliminate the yang energy with yin attribute mana, so I was a little late in leaving the room.

Fortunately, the courtesans didn’t wake up, so I was able to go down to the 5th floor alone without being caught doing anything suspicious.

“Did it end up being five?”

Master said that when he saw that it took a long time for me to relieve my yang energy.

“It was a close call, but everything has been resolved.”

“Yes. Even if you go to another giru, it will be difficult to accommodate this kind of convenience, but the most important thing is that you do not make any mistakes. It would be better to take a break from training for a while until the courtesan’s sexual energy is filled.”

“Is it really easy?”

“There are many masters in the world who take care of the time their disciples spend on training.”

“Even if you search the whole world, you will be the only one.”

“Yeah, I guess it’s just me. Let’s go, you bastard.”

On the way back home from Giru with Master, I wondered if my second brother would be there, just like the older brother who was waiting for me the last time I came back, but he didn’t wait for me.

Yes, this is better and less burdensome.

*

The next day, I was able to see my second brother, Han Si-woo.

Out of the three brothers, he is the largest and looks like a warrior, so he was compared to his older brother who was a bit thinner.

Would I be considered somewhere between those two?

“Youngest, I heard you completely destroyed your older brother last time?”

“If I broke it, would you correct me like that? I just broke the wooden sword.”

“It’s either that. Still, I guess I’ve grown to the point where I can practice martial arts in public places. Do you want to try it with me?”

“I know that my second brother is better at martial arts than my eldest brother, but wouldn’t I be better now?”

“You have good confidence. I don’t want to be embarrassed like my big brother, so I won’t do it.”

Rather than calling it a disgrace, it was closer to a sacrifice that saved the youngest brother’s life, but the second-oldest brother doesn’t seem to like losing face.

My eldest brother was strange because I thought it would be difficult for me to step forward.

“I was thinking of going to Giru when I got home, but I couldn’t go because I felt like you were completely conquering the courtesans here.”

“Ahaha. That’s how it happened.”

The second brother tended to drink alcohol and have fun with courtesans at Giru.

The eldest brother used to go to Giru and drink only, but he stopped going to Giru for a while because he noticed what his future sister-in-law was thinking.

“There will never be a master like Yeomwang. If I had met a master with such an open mind, I would have practiced martial arts for the rest of my life.”

“We talk about that back and forth from time to time.”

“Let’s go in, and your parents will wait for you.”

On the way to the restaurant, I met my second brother, so I was about to go in, but the master came out of the restaurant.

“Elder King Yeom? This is Xian’s older brother, Han Si-woo.”

The second brother took the first step and bowed his head.

“Oh no. I am the Flame King.”

“Master? When did you cough?”

“Go out for a moment and find another place to practice. In the meantime, complete one round of the Flame Wheel Fist at the manor.”

“How long will it take you to complete one wheel?”

“It won’t take long. You just have to do well with the homework I give you.”

After saying that, the master quickly left the manor with a gait that was significantly different from his usual manner.

Although I was not taught how to walk, I immediately noticed that it was not an ordinary walking method.

It was a gait worthy of being called Chukjibeop.

“You left suddenly.”

“Yes. What is this…”

“Then you can go too.”

“Where shall we go together?”

“The Namgung family sent an invitation. It looks like Namgung Hyeon, the grandchild of the King of Swords, is planning to make her birthday a little bigger because she has entered into a marriage contract. I heard that the betrothed family, the Zhuge family, is also sending someone.”

“Isn’t our level too different?”

We have enough money to run a small business and live well, but compared to Sega, the difference was too big.

It’s a place that has nothing to do with my house, so why go there?

“Could it be because of Master Yeomwang?”

“Yes, I accepted you as a disciple after my last private meeting with the King of Swords. Quite a few eyes and ears will be on you and the old King of Flames.”

With that said, we entered the restaurant and after eating, I heard a similar story from my father.

“Originally, I was planning on sending Si-hyuk and Si-woo since you, the invitee, were training, but how about you go too?”

“Honey, is there a need to send all three?”

My second brother’s face stiffened slightly at my mother’s words, but softened when I heard my father’s words.

“I’m going there to build connections. I think three people are appropriate.”

I just wanted to practice martial arts, but I ended up going to Namgung House.

I guess I can return possessed when I come back from a short trip?
