Episode 137
The ragtag group (1)
The new year has passed.
In the end, as everyone expected, it was decided to create the Murim Alliance. Although the decision was made after sufficient discussion, those in the know knew that it was a majority decision.
Once the decision was made to establish the Murim Alliance, the organization chart under the Murim Alliance was also created at an alarming rate.
There were already precedents from past ancestors, and the process of reviewing and adjusting the plans drawn up by the leaders of each faction before the announcement was made was very quick.
That is how the Baekdo Murim Alliance was formed. The heads of the nine families and the six major families were promoted to the title of Bonggong (奉公) of the Murim Alliance, and the position of leader was still vacant.
The rumor quickly spread throughout the central region.
The resurrection of the Murim Alliance. It was the beginning of a huge change that shook the Jungwon martial arts world accustomed to peace.
Ugh!
“Tsk!”
“Don’t back down!”
Wow!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who immediately closed the distance, unleashed a strike.
Okcheong opened her eyes.
‘also!’
It was an ordinary daily ticket.
A ticket that comes straight in without any alterations. The speed is not that fast, and the power is not so strong that it cannot be blocked.
But so far, I have been fooled by that person time and time again. To be precise, I was attacked by an unimaginable attack hidden behind that weapon.
‘No more!’
I can’t afford to lose this time either. A soulful energy flashed in Okcheong’s eyes, burning with determination.
Phew.
A strange look appeared in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.
He throws away the iron sword in his hand and clenches his fists with both hands. Jade Qing’s hands, filled with soul energy, made a strange rotation.
‘hmm.’
Buuuuung!
Yeon Ho-jeong’s body whirled according to the rotation of the true energy.
There was joy in Okcheong’s eyes. Finally, the attitude of the leader, who was attacking like a battering ram, was disrupted.
It was then.
Yeon Ho-jeong, whose posture collapsed, threw a sharp attack at Ok-cheong’s shoulder.
Bye!
“Ugh!”
Okcheong got down on one knee. The power of Taegeuk Sansui (太極散手) contained in the double hands lost its way and was scattered.
‘no!’
Wow!
As soon as I got down on my knees, I stepped back. Yeon Ho-jeong was a master of practical martial arts. At any time and in any position, he uses a technique that can destroy his opponent. For now, I had to step back and find a counterpart.
Hahaha!
However, Okcheong, who had become accustomed to fighting through endless sparring, was unable to understand Yeonhojeong’s limitations.
Whoa!
‘100 million?!’
Okcheong’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
Yeon Ho-jeong did not move from that spot. However, he stretched out his hand and poured the pure white Tiger King’s true energy into his body, but the force was so strong that it felt as if his entire body was tied up.
For a moment, I can’t move. Honwongi freed Baekhogi, which had entangled his entire body, but that was more than enough time for Yeonhojeong’s attack to succeed ten times.
Buuuuung! Pow!
“Quack!”
Okcheong fell down.
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“Eighty-seven wins, eighty-seven wins and no losses.”
“Cough!”
“Are you okay?”
“It’s okay. Wow!”
It was Jade Cheong, spilling blood. Even though he lost strength in the last blow, Yeonhojeong’s single strike still contained extraordinary strength.
Okcheong wakes up unsteadily.
“It wasn’t bad.”
“yes?”
“This fight wasn’t bad. “Now I know something.”
Okcheong’s face was filled with surprise.
In the fight so far, Yeon Ho-jeong did not praise Ok-cheong even with empty words.
Instead, he swore at me and made fun of me to the point where my pride was torn to shreds. It was such a thorough criticism that it completely denied the sword training that I had developed so far.
It was Yeon Ho-jeong who praised me for the first time.
‘…uh.’
What can I say?
Should I say that it feels exhilarating? Even when I received praise from my teacher, I thought it wasn’t like this.
“Thank you.”
“What are you thankful for? “Your venom that followed me all the way here is amazing.”
In fact, Yeonhojeong acknowledged Okcheong’s poisonous nature at least. It would be difficult for anyone with a decent temper to tolerate his outrageous harsh words.
My pride must have been very hurt. You may have lost your confidence. Was it around 70? Rather, his skills showed a decline.
However, Okcheong endured the grueling routine and reached where she is today.
“Whether you are practicing martial arts alone or fighting with an opponent, the important thing in training is not time. “It’s an efficient effort.”
“Efficiency….”
“You just let go of the sword, right?”
“yes? Oh yes!”
“Why did you put down your sword? “I held on tightly until the moment I collapsed.”
Okcheong looked at the fallen sword with bewildered eyes.
‘I put down my sword?’
I finally realized it. He let go of his sword and used Taegeuk Sansu to deflect Yeon Ho-jeong’s attack.
‘Unbelievable.’
A sword is something that a prosecutor can never separate from. It is not a prosecutor who puts down his sword just because it is a moment of crisis.
dump!
Okcheong knelt down with a vain look on her face.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was trying to praise him, frowned.
“What are you doing?”
“I can’t believe I let go of my sword.”
“ok?”
“The prosecutor lost his grip. “Such a shame…!”
puck!
“Oops!”
Okcheong rolled on the floor. A lot of muddy snow stuck to Heoyeon’s uniform.
“You b*stard, you should be praising yourself for letting go of the sword now. What are you shocked about?”
“…yes?”
Okcheong closed her eyes with an innocent look on her face.
Yeon Ho-jeong continued, feeling like the eyes of a sad cow were somehow sad.
“All of your martial arts skills are like that. “It’s all stuck in a rut.”
“A frame?”
“Why can’t I put down my sword? If this were real, you would be dead. “As a prosecutor, are you going to hold on to your sword until the end and then die?”
“…!”
“Look. A prosecutor should be like this. This way of thinking should follow this type of operation. That method of support should be soft, so it should be operated gently. “It’s all like this, right?”
“That’s…!”
“Rather, it’s more surprising that you learned to stay in such a rut. How were you able to still reach the pinnacle? “You didn’t have any worries, you just rose up purely based on talent.”
“….”
“In a way, it is a truly monstrous talent. “If a talented person continues to train like you, he will spend his whole life moving around in the third class, let alone the first class.”
Okcheong’s eyes bulged like beads.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face became serious.
“In the meantime, you must have only looked back on your own martial arts skills while fighting with me. Right?”
“…Yes.”
“Why didn’t you try to copy my tricks?”
“yes?!”
“I didn’t attack you with great martial arts skills. “I just put strength and speed into a simple movement that could be used even in a back alley street.”
“Ah…”
“If you detect and respond to your opponent’s movements, even ordinary martial arts will be transformed into peak martial arts. You have extremely poor practical sense. why? “They don’t want to get away.”
Okcheong’s face was colored with shock.
Yeon Ho-jeong filed a complaint.
“Actually, it was something that could have been enlightened enough with words. But you were too harsh. “Didn’t you think that you were obsessed with just a few words I said and spent days worrying about them?”
“….”
“It is better to get used to the pain and attack method by getting hit at such times.”
An area where talent cannot be surpassed even after death or awakening.
That is practice and experience. If you look at the survival probability in the first real fight, the talented person is definitely higher than the amateur, but the difference is not as big as you might think.
Ultimately, it comes down to concentration. It was will. A person who knows how to immerse himself in something can break the mold at any time, whether early or late.
Okcheong lacked that.
And at this moment, Okcheong was able to clearly ‘feel’ what Yeonhojeong was trying to teach her.
“I brought you to the door, so it’s up to you to open that door and leave. “You’ve worked hard so far.”
“omg! Are you finished teaching now?”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“Then what more? “You’ve done enough.”
“Ha, but I’m still lacking a lot! “I want to see more of Daehyeop’s treacherous strategy!”
This b*stard shoots daggers with an innocent face.
“Noisy. There is no point in repeating the dance anymore.”
Okcheong became sullen and lowered her head.
If you were a disciple of a former expert, you were above Yeon Ho-jeong in terms of distribution. Seeing such a person so downcast was a rare sight in its own way.
‘Anyway, what was that guy in Geomseon doing?’
It was a question I heard again and again while fighting Okcheong.
‘Are you saying you didn’t teach your student this until he or she became like that? ‘Are you a master?’
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at Ok Cheong with pitiful eyes, soon shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, it has nothing to do with me.”
“yes?”
“no. Now go to your residence. “There’s no need to come from tomorrow.”
“…Yes.”
Okcheong stood up weakly and took the gun.
“Thanks to you, I learned a lot. “I received great grace.”
“no. I also learned a lot thanks to you. Rather, it is I who is thankful.”
Okcheong smiled.
‘He is a good person.’
When fighting, he would use all kinds of creative swear words and get upset, but after the fight, he would personally warm up his body and pat his shoulder.
‘He’s a big person. ‘Can I become this kind of person?’
A person who had learned martial arts to that degree would not have had anything to learn from him. Still, they tell me that they learned a lot.
He was a kind-hearted person.
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong shouted.
“Once you’re done saying hello, go quickly, man!”
“omg! yes! See you later!”
Okcheong hurriedly left Pagungak.
A grim smile appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face as he clicked his tongue and looked at Ok-cheong’s back.
“Hmm. Hmm. “Ugh.”
Coo!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who stepped forward vigorously, lowered his posture.
‘Maybe it felt like this?’
Huh.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s two fists gently split the air.
Surprisingly, it was a shaman’s Taijiquan. It was not the gymnastics form of Tai Chi that was available on the market, but real Tai Chi that only the disciples of shamans could learn.
‘And here…’
Papapang!
I felt the exhilaration of the martial arts technique of striking seven points in an instant.
And it was soft. It was a fast fighting technique like a sword fight, but within it, a powerful wave of true energy was moving violently.
‘good. ‘Picked it perfectly.’
Okcheong did not make the shapes he had learned into his own. This means that he was using all the martial arts he learned close to their original form. In other words, it can be said to be the original form of shaman martial arts.
And Yeon Ho-jeong was able to teach Okcheong and follow most of his methods. Of course, it is only a form of martial arts skills on the maternal side.
“Wow, you’re a shaman after all. Even though it only has a shape, it creates this much flow in the atmosphere, right? “It’s a girl.”
At that time, a voice was heard.
“This is so disgusting.”
“Oops!”
Yeon Ho-jeong was surprised. I was so focused that I didn’t even notice that someone was approaching.
Muk Fei frowned.
“Is it okay to steal someone else’s martial arts skills?”
“You’re stealing! I just learned it naturally while teaching him. What’s good? “We helped each other.”
“Ugh ugh!”
“Stop looking at me with such contempt.”
Yeon Ho-jeong giggled impertinently.
“Oh, stop laughing and follow me.”
“hmm? “Where?”
“Father, call me.”
“Why me?”
“I don’t know. “I heard something about the military.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face, which was full of fun, quickly became serious.
“It has begun.”
