Chapter 564 – Supremacy

“Today, let’s use the internal energy in our body.”

The hegemony that Roman holds is only 20 pages, including all the ink drawings and explanations.

This is a martial law that was enclosed among the martial arts books handed over to Roman by Dokgo-rin, the Powerful and Defeating Heavenly Hand.

It was put in like a bonus.

Hegemony is a fundamental foundation among the first basics that Hwang Bo-sae’s character learns when he or she enters the world of martial arts.

In terms of swordsmanship, it is called the Eight Methods of Youngja (永字八法), and in terms of spearmanship, it is called Rannachal (攔拿扎).

In the case of a blank slate without learning like Lee Cho-ah, the priority and efficiency of this hegemony can be said to be higher than the Heavenly King’s Three Powers, which are granted only to the head of the Hwangbo family.

If you learn martial arts that require deep accomplishment without even learning the basics, you will end up like a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck, and it is extremely poisonous when it comes to growth.

“Hegemony (覇拳) is the foundation for learning future martial arts.”

“Yes.”

“If you compare it to the act of raising a building, it is a pillar or rebar.”

“I understand.”

“The higher your achievements, the more the importance of this martial law will be emphasized.”

This is because the profoundness and honesty pursued by Hwang Bose’s martial arts are contained as simply and cleanly as possible.

“···.”

The book was passed into Lee Cho-ah’s hands with the message to see it for yourself.

The military service book that Roman handed me to look at was so thin that it was less than half of the size compared to the others.

When I looked at the contents inside, it felt really simple.

“Once you have mastered the martial arts, Heavenly King’s Treasure and Hegemony, I will teach you the Wall Power Divine Fist. If you master that, then… I may not need to teach you the remaining martial arts.”〈 Br〉

“Can I just learn the rest on my own?”

“Well, that’s a possibility… And you’ll understand when the time comes.”

First of all, the goal is to reach a level where Ichoa will have no problem facing Dokgo Rin, who has suppressed her power as much as possible.

For Alice and Seria, Roman himself will take full responsibility until the end, but for Lee Choa, that is enough.

Roman’s role ends there.

Wouldn’t Lin personally guide Lee Cho-ah in the future?

“Let’s start by relaxing your body first.”

At the sound of Roman’s voice, the three and one voice sounded at the same time.

“I understand.”

“Yes!”

“Yep!”

– Hiss!

Of course, Alice and Seria relaxed their muscles with reverse muscle mirroring.

Ichoa started stretching before every workout.

‘···What kind of stretching is that?’

Ichoah blinked her eyes when she saw the two girls slowly doing gymnastics.

Even though I don’t know the skills of this girl named Seria, I know that Alice’s capabilities are far higher than mine.

It’s amazing that such a person is sweating profusely without moving too much.

··

··

Alice and Ceria tried to imitate Roman’s hegemony a few times, but then they entered a phase where repetition was the only answer.

Choa Lee, a beginner, received intensive instruction from Roman.

“When the heels come together, the inner energy is released downward through the soles of both feet. Imagine pressing down on the ground with your weight.”

“Yes…!”

“All fists in supremacy are heavy, unlike jabs in boxing. Although they are the same in terms of brevity, the fists must be pushed with weight rather than thrown.”

Lee Cho-ah felt that it was more difficult because she was unfamiliar with internal and martial arts.

It was different from the mystery that had been used haphazardly until now.

“Let’s try again.”

“Whoo, whoo!”

What Roman is asking right now is to stretch out your fists while using your inner strength.

It wasn’t easy.

It was possible to feel the existence of inner energy and to place it in the body, but for Lee Cho-ah, the operation was done only for one day and only through mental techniques.

This is barely possible if you think about the details and concentrate, but do it along with punching.

‘It’s difficult!’

The beat and order of the limbs keep getting twisted, as if the body is being asked to do a difficult dance.

I was so dizzy that I felt nauseous.

“Again.”

“Yes…!”

For each martial arts movement, there is a recommended form and framework of internal energy, and there is a moment when impact must be made.

A punch that seems simple on the outside. However, a complex process was taking place inside Lee Choa.

When I don’t have the strength to hold a fist and my strength runs out, and my fingers start shaking.

Roman had Lee Cho-ah practice his walking skills by leaving footprints on the dirt floor while taking a break.

“Ugh—!”

Not only martial arts but also martial arts was difficult. Even if you do it slowly, you can easily twist your legs and fall.

According to Roman’s explanation, the movement itself was simple and linear, so it would be easy to learn quickly.

When I tried it myself, I couldn’t agree with anything he said.

After falling, Lee Cho-ah just lay down on her back on the ground.

She rolled her eyes to the side and looked at Alice and Ceria.

“Yup!”

“Seria, sit a little lower. Your legs are unbalanced.”

– Sigh!

“Hey!”

“Well, it was good this time.”

The two, who had already memorized the hegemony and had a clear footing technique, were raising their proficiency by exchanging combinations using only the fighting techniques they had learned.

Ceria also seemed to be guided by Alice in her tricks and flow.

Lee Choa realized that even Seria was heaven to him.

‘Is that really something you’re learning for the first time today…?’

How can one become proficient so quickly?

Just like Roman, I wonder what the hell those girls have been through.

Mate!

Roman applauded and drew attention to the sight of Lee Cho-ah lying on the ground struggling.

“That’s it for today. I’ll warm up one more time and finish.”

“Yes…”

Ichoa, who was spread out on the floor, whimpered and tried to raise her body, her legs shaking like a newborn deer.

It’s shameful that she proudly told Roman that she was training herself.

“The progress was made quickly. You did such a good job that it was hard to believe it was your first time doing it.”

“···Thank you.”

Those might be words of comfort.

However, Ichoa did not think deeply and just lowered her head.

Regardless of talent, there is no other way than to try.

“Roman!”

“Huh?”

Alice raises her hand and lets out her voice.

The corners of Roman’s mouth rose, and her head turned.

“If you’re going to teach her, wouldn’t it be right for Roman to at least make it easier for her to speak?”

– Shashaak!

Alice expressed her opinion that she had been thinking about.

Lee Cho-ah was the first to open her mouth to Roman, who was thinking carefully.

“I hope you can speak comfortably.”

Roman nodded his head coolly at those words.

She smiled cheerfully.

“Well, okay. Let’s all go have dinner together.”

··

··

“Ugh…”

As soon as Ichoah opened her eyes in her bed, she moaned in pain.

I haven’t experienced the limits of my endurance by lifting heavy weights or moving without stopping.

When she woke up in the morning, her whole body was throbbing with muscle pain.

Tup. Tub.

Ichoa rubbed her eyes and reached out her hand to fumble for her phone.

She pulled out her phone from the charger and looked at the screen to see that her messenger light was on.

[Roman: Whenever I have time, I continue to practice meditation and fighting techniques. It’s okay to just draw it in your head.

[Lee Cho-ah: Can I practice walking alone?

After replying, I lay down on the bed and looked blankly at the ceiling.

Ji-ing! The cell phone vibrated.

[Roman: If you fall while doing it alone, you’ll break everything around you, right? If you have a large space, you can practice.

[Lee Cho-ah: I understand.

[Roman: (emoticon)]

Shiba Inu emoticon screaming in the air.

Lee Choa opened his eyes wide at Roman’s reply.

‘You also use these emoticons…’

Of course you can use it.

Still, it was unexpected, because I can’t imagine Roman finding that 2,000 won emoticon himself and liking it and living it.

Lee Cho-ah, who was still staring at the emoticon that was difficult to match, came to her senses.

“Ugh…!”

Icho Ah woke up rolling over in bed, crying because of her muscle pain.

She brushed her teeth and started reading the work email that had just arrived.

[The bodies of Kang Tae-woo and Song Jeong-woo, two people who went hunting for glow-in-the-dark ghosts, are discovered. The glow-in-the-dark demon’s hunt was a success. However, Song Jeong-woo is presumed to have died from excessive bleeding, and Kang Tae-woo died suddenly of unknown cause.

[The bodies of Son Hyun-jin, Heo Su-yeon, and Hong Dong-yoon, three people who went hunting for Jangsanbeom, are discovered. The abdomen of all corpses was seriously damaged…]

“···.”

I stopped brushing my teeth.

Depression grows slowly inside.

No matter how many times I hear a colleague’s sad news revealed in the form of a report, I never get used to it.

‘Sudden death of unknown cause…’

Is it due to the abuse of mystery?

Kang Tae-woo, who went on the hunt for the glow-in-the-dark ghost, is one of the most senior veterans in the special department.

He was an unpleasant man who constantly enjoyed sexual harassment, but his skills were good enough to be counted among those in the special department.

What should I do when I find out the secret to the mystery?

Is it right to stand by and watch as everyone voluntarily dies just because they were lucky enough to live alone?

‘But.’

Even if the facts are known, there is no solution.

Because I can’t teach martial arts like Roman.

In fact, there is a possibility that it will be a meaningless action that will only instill fear in the members of the special department.

“···.”

Roman is not a member of the Special Task Force.

Still, maybe I should at least ask if I can help.

As someone who is just being taught, I have no conscience or reputation, but isn’t a person’s life at stake?

‘Even if it’s just consultation…’

After finishing brushing her teeth with worry, Lee Cho-ah rinsed her mouth and came out to the living room.

She was fluttering the box tee she was wearing as a one-piece dress and was relaxing her aching muscles.

Ji-ing!

As soon as he heard her vibration, Lee Choa quickly grabbed his phone and looked at the screen.

“!”

It was a message from the special department.

*****

The moment when Lee Cho-ah received the message and became serious.

Something big happened to Roman and his group.

“Whoop…!”

Ricke suddenly became nauseous while eating breakfast.

Everyone stopped moving and opened their mouths at that action.

Roman jumped up, knocking over his chair.

“Oh, brother…!”

My first morning sickness.

Rike gazed at her husband with a happy smile with her bright eyes.
