Chapter 90 – King Yan’s Disciple (10)

I headed to the King of Swords’ residence while venting my own speculation about Namgunghyeon.

Did you say Namgung Manju? It’s a name that sounds like something delicious, but it seemed different because it was Sword King.

Is it a field, not Delhi?

With that feeling, Namgungse came inside.

If anyone tries to stalk me here, the return of possession… Ah. You can’t do it yet?

I have to be careful about my life.

Standing in front of a house that was smaller than expected, Namgoonghyeon took her hand and spoke so that she could be heard inside.

“Grandpa, your grandson Namgunghyeon has brought King Yeom’s disciple.”

You won’t be able to see that he took the gun, but it seemed like he was keeping his manners even in places that couldn’t be seen.

Then the door opened and an old man wearing a helmet appeared.

After seeing her son and grandson, I saw the King of Swords, and I definitely felt that the three of them looked alike.

While I was looking at the Sword King in fascination, thinking that the physique and shape of the face were somewhat similar, the Sword King Namgung Manju said to me.

“How long has it been since you learned from King Yeom?”

“It’s been 7 months now.”

“It didn’t seem like that person would have the talent to raise students, but he quickly raised a monster.”

I’m not sure if she looked at me like the head of the Namgung family, but she nodded to herself.

In the meantime, I only saw the appearance, but it seems like I was caught.

“Are you a monster…?”

When the old man, King Geom, acknowledged me, his grandson, Namgung-hyeon, seemed a little upset.

It occurred to me that I had to go to Bimu for the quest, so I thought I should add one thing.

“How does it compare to your grandson?”

“This…”

Namgoonghyun was trying to say something to me, but he shut her mouth.

“When Hyeon-i was 5 years old, she picked up a sword, and she trained for 15 years. But her strength is at a similar level.”

Although there was a huge difference in the period of time spent honing the martial arts, the internal skills were similar.

I naturally lowered my hand and then clenched my fist. As expected, it was good to be recognized.

“Isn’t martial arts all about internal strength?”

Now that the terms have been signed, the King of Swords’ approval seems to be quite important to the guy who will soon be celebrating his birthday, and who will also be holding an engagement ceremony.

“Well? Since it’s like this, why don’t we try it out? I won over King Yeom, but I want to see what the outcome will be for my grandson and his disciple. Hyeon is the son of the Namgung family, so he gets the title of Sword Dragon, which you and your brother will soon return. Don’t you think you’ll like it?”

I don’t know why, but it seemed like the Sword King was trying to instigate a fight.

Everyone in the central region knows that the King of Swords won the last private meeting, so why are you trying to make a meeting between me and my grandson happen?

I felt like I was being dragged into something, but I actually liked it.

“Is it okay if I ask Young master Namgunghyeon for a favor?”

When I raised my hand and slightly lowered my head to ask, I heard Namgung-hyeon in front of me give his approval.

“Good. I am also a disciple of King Yeom, and it would be helpful to see your skills, so it would be nice to compete with you.”

“I am Han Xian, King Yan’s disciple.”

“Young master Han Xian.”

I thought about it for a moment to see if I was trying to remember my name.

“Good. Having a rival is a great motivator when growing up. It would be nice if we competed against each other often. Just like him and me.”

To be honest, Master Yeomwang didn’t tell me much about the secret history of Wulin, so I wasn’t sure what kind of relationship we had.

Han Xian has never really asked Master Yanwang anything in depth.

“Follow me, you two. Unless you want to burn down my house, we should go somewhere spacious.”

As we followed the King of Swords a little further into the depths of Namgung House, there was a stone floor perfect for rubbing.

Looking at the dead grass around you, could it be that the two of you were having a good time here?

“A disciple of King Yeom, can you make a martial arts machine?”

“I cannot manifest energy yet.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to use a wooden sword.”

The old sword king pulled out the sword he was wearing at his waist and cut down a nearby tree branch in one go, then carved it into the shape of a sword.

Then he handed it to Namgung-hyeon, who waved it lightly in the air.

“Grandpa, the length is just right.”

“Okay then. I’ve made a lot of wooden swords. You two, go to the center.”

I came up to the flat floor and stood a little distance away.

The first person to ask for greetings was Namgung-hyeon.

“This is Namgunghyeon, the military attendant of the Namgung family.”

“This is the unmanned Han Xian of the Han family.”

She didn’t really have a name, but she gave it a name to match the assortment.

“Aren’t you going to put my master’s name on the line? All right. Let’s begin.”

Was it correct to say that he was King Yan’s disciple? Even though I thought about it, I felt that the weight of the name did not fit.

The way to match that weight is for me to win this competition.

Namgung-hyeon, who had been displeased that the old sword king had acknowledged me just now, raised his wooden sword, wondering where he had gone, but a swordsman radiating sharp energy was standing in front of me.

Her right hand holding the wooden sword showed no tremor at all, and I had the feeling that she was looking only at me, excluding other thoughts.

At that time, Namgoonghyeon opened her mouth.

“It’s a strange relationship in terms of distribution, but since I started martial arts much earlier, I will give up the three seconds.”

In the martial arts world, where distribution is important, we were the grandsons of King Geom and the disciples of King Yeom, so I belonged to the higher class.

Since I don’t have good skills to give up such consideration, I decided to accept it.

“Then I will attack first.”

Let me think about the things I have learned.

Yeonyeom Shingong (連炎神功), Yeomhwajang (炎火掌), Yeomryunquan (炎輪拳), and the new method I am learning recently.

Since I can properly use the flame fire to absorb Master’s heat, I have to approach and punch him. Is that possible?

After all, it’s better to have a weapon.

I wanted to make a weapon using Shadow Craft, but it was a shame that I couldn’t use it since it was a strong weapon in some ways.

Although I don’t know how to walk well, I approached Namgoong Hyun with quick and efficient movements that I read from Cyan Raven’s memory.

Of course, there is only one martial art I can use.

Yeomryun Kwon (炎輪拳) Mu-Ryun (無輪)

As he passed through the heat that had formed in front of his fist, he quickly thrust out his fist with strong internal energy.

And Namgoonghyeon dodged that punch with a movement that wasn’t fast, but wasn’t slow either.

Without stopping there, he extended his next fist.

He missed just like the first time, and finally, he put more force into it and even missed his outstretched fist.

“This is…”

Is there too much of a difference in skill level to be chosen as the object of a quest?

“I gave in to Samchosik.”

And Namgoonghyeon moved.

I used my insight to read the sword’s trajectory, and using the body technique I had recently practiced, I avoided the sword without moving too much and used the Flame Wheel.

I once again realized that this kind of counterattack is a bit more appropriate now than when I simply attacked earlier.

However, it was difficult to easily close the gap between the sword and the fist, so even if he counterattacked, he could not reach it.

The two of us kept cutting and hitting the air from the beginning.

‘But for some reason, I feel like my body is moving better and better?”

This is the same feeling as when I was training the body method while practicing Yeonyeom Shingong (連炎神功).

Is it because of the heat? Is the heat dissipating while using the flame wheel helping me?

It was an open space, and although I had little power to handle it, I felt like it would continue to be helpful.

Nam Gung-hyeon was also swinging with internal energy in his body, but his sword energy was not revealed.

Because I am creating my own territory by constantly releasing.

I think I can use it once.

Salt fire field

While he was randomly using the flameless fists around him, he gathered the scattered heat into his left hand and threw it towards Namgunghyeon.

“Jangbeop?!”

Namgoonghyeon was the first to make a sound of confusion, as if he didn’t know that I was going to release energy.

In the meantime, I went into his arms and struck out the flame wheel once again.

‘One wheel.’

A proper ring of heat has formed in front of the right hand.

And the link was absorbed into me again, and the flame wheel became perfect.

Namgung-hyeon, who was embarrassed by the sudden flame attack, was unable to easily shake off the who was digging in because his sword blade was shaking.

Pakak

But what I hit and broke was a wooden sword.

Although it was struck with such force that it could not be blocked with a wooden sword, it was still impossible to hit the body.

He continued his attack to give Namgung-hyeon, who had lost his wooden sword, a proper punch, but his fist could not reach Namgung-hyeon, who was able to freely use the martial arts method.

“That’s enough. The swordsman lost his sword. It was a dangerous attack to block even with a real sword.”

The person who stopped our dance was the old sword king.

And as soon as the story came out, a blue window appeared saying that the quest had been cleared.

I don’t want to win like this.

“I didn’t expect Jangbeop.”

Namgung-hyeon said that she was satisfied with the win or loss, but she wasn’t satisfied with me.

“If it’s not rude to you, Sword King, could you make me two wooden swords?”

While taking the sword, I bowed my head and asked the old man of the sword.

“Why two?”

“Actually, I know how to use a sword a little bit.”

“So you dodged Hyeon-i’s sword like you read it? Good. I’ll give you one more chance.”

That opportunity would have been given to Namgoong Hyeon, not me.

“Yes, Grandpa. I will definitely win this time.”

After waiting for a moment, the old sword king remade two wooden swords that fit our bodies and gave them to us.

“This time, we can start without going first or second.”

We moved immediately upon hearing the words of the old sword king who gave us the sword and walked away from the off-stage.

And the second dance ended much faster than the first.

“Young master Han Xian, it is not polite to aim straight at the heart from the weapon. It is an act of death.”

“Oh. “I’m sorry.”

While answering like that, I backed away from Namgoong Hyun, but I liked the exchange a little while ago the most among today’s dances.
