Episode 335
Aim for the brightness (3)
The next day.
“It’s been a while since I’ve sweated a bit.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s body was drenched in sweat after completing the training of the Mortal Death Army.
Perhaps because Mo Yong-se withdrew from the political scene of his side and the Murim Alliance, he now had peace of mind. Of course, we are still paying close attention to various aspects, but compared to before, the things to worry about have been reduced by less than half.
thud.
He put down the light dragon and took off his jacket.
His sweaty upper body was full of almost perfect muscles. He may look slim on the outside, but in reality, his muscles were compressed to the point where he had high-level explosive power and endurance.
“Whoop.”
He took a deep breath and picked up the Gwangryongbu.
As soon as the training of the Mortal Army is over, individual training begins. Since I haven’t been able to make time for training recently due to various reasons, I plan to train as much as possible while I can.
Phew.
The sight of Yeon Ho-jeong, holding the light dragon with both hands and raising it to the back of his head, was literally like a statue.
Great elasticity can be seen in the pectoralis major and abdominal muscles, which have been stretched to the limit. The muscles on his back, which were not easily visible when he was standing upright, spread out wide as if they were wings.
Yeonhojeong slowly moved the Gwangryongbu.
‘Keuyeah.’
It was a very slow movement.
The Gwangryongbu, which is over 80 pounds long, moves at an extremely slow speed. Even though an hour had passed, the light dragon that had been raised behind the head was finally coming down to the forehead.
It was a blunt sword training that involved stimulating the muscles of the entire body, not only the upper body but also the lower body. It was three times slower than the training I did when I went to escort Ki Woo-hee before.
Crump!
The load on the muscles increased significantly. My entire upper body turned red. The load on the joints was also maintained at a narrow limit.
‘It’s hard as expected.’
It is a practice that even a peak expert cannot easily endure, and even a master of the six families has a difficult time continuing if he or she does not protect his or her joints with internal energy.
In other words, it was a training that bordered on insanity. Even with the mysterious power of inner strength, most warriors would have difficulty withstanding it.
It was an extreme training that was possible because Yeon Ho-jeong had trained beyond human limits and created a body with dense essence. Even Yeonhojeong can break his joints if he relaxes.
Ugh! Wooooow!
Yeongasindan trembled like crazy.
As Gwangryongbu reached the solar plexus, his body began to reach its limits. In order to protect the body, Yeonga Shindan was sending out a danger signal, and Yeon Ho-jeong completely ignored the signal.
Tuk! Tuk!
The tightly packed pectoralis major muscle began to turn from dark red to black.
Just like that, Lee Gak’s time passed again.
The blade of the Gwangryongbu touched a stone on the floor.
Pusssss.
The blade touches it, but it crumbles instead of splitting. This is because the pressure of the true flag carried by the Gwangryongbu was so great that it was beyond imagination.
At the same time, Yeonhojeong placed Gwangryongbu.
thud!
“Wow!”
Yeon Ho-jeong let out a rough breath and fell down on the spot.
“Huh! “Huh!”
It felt like the blood in my whole body stopped and then started moving again at high speed for an instant.
There was no damage to the joints, but the muscles of the entire body were on the verge of rupture. If I hadn’t protected my internal organs with the Shinigami, two or three of my five internal organs would have exploded.
“Cough! “My shit.”
Drops of blood came out as he coughed. Even though the internal organs were protected, internal injuries could not be avoided. This is because the pressure transmitted to the abdomen itself was enormous.
This was because he did not simply swing the light dragon slowly, but adjusted the power of the ax while imagining the enemy’s attack moment by moment.
‘Still, it’s possible without using any internal energy other than protecting the body.’
With pure strength, he swung the Gwangryongbu close to Ban Si-jin. It was not human power.
Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath.
Flash!
A beautiful greenish-blue glow bloomed brightly from his body.
Yeonga Shindan was more active than ever. Like water pouring down like a waterfall when an embankment breaks, the speed at which Jin Qi travels through the entire body’s blood vessels and heals muscles and internal injuries was frightening.
Before we knew it, Yeon Ho-jeong’s face became brighter.
“This much with just one training… This is really good.”
The muscles of my entire body are going crazy.
It was an extreme level of activity that had never been experienced in any battle. Even though it was not a practice that even Yeonhojeong could do often, the benefits that could be gained from just one training and recovery were enormous.
‘The body is a vessel that contains enlightenment. My problem now is that the gap between enlightenment and the physical body is too great.’
The intention was to unite the five major gods of Yeonga to solve the problem. It was intended to forcibly raise the level of the body through the unity of various internal energies obtained through spiritual energy.
However, I felt that if I practiced today’s practice repeatedly, I could reach that level faster than I thought.
The ultimate realm that only the absolute can glimpse. The highest level where you can compete head-to-head with a large-scale force without the need for any strategy or tactics.
It seemed like it would be possible to reach the world of martial gods where the Thirteen Saints roamed around more quickly.
‘I have already faced an eighteen-level warrior of the Shinhwa religion. If they weren’t stupid, they would have started investigating a long time ago. It may take time because of the Murimmaeng’s eyes, but someday they will notice my existence.’
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
The greenish-blue glow that had been emanating from my entire body gradually subsided. The body has recovered to some extent.
‘Faster, more certain, more unconventional.’
Yeon Ho-jeong heard the Gwangryongbu.
Neither the muscles nor the internal injuries were fully healed. Still, I feel lighter than before training. It was as if all the muscles and nerves that had been sleeping had exploded and awakened.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was feeling satisfied, spoke in a calm voice.
“Training is over.”
“Did you know that too?”
Flap!
A full statue landed on the wall of Pagungak.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes widened.
“Your movements have become lighter.”
Full-sang stuck out his tongue.
“Do you see that?”
“Isn’t it strange that you can’t see? “It seems like the truth has become more concentrated.”
“The insight of a true practitioner is nothing short of the best of his time. I’m still curious. “How on earth did you become such a monster at that age?”
How can I explain that long situation? Yeon Ho-jeong just smiled.
“Anyway, it’s a really amazing body. Do you train with a dull sword while holding a crazy heavy weapon weighing over 80 pounds? “Wouldn’t that hurt your body?”
“It’s under control.”
“Well, who am I worried about?”
Full-sang suddenly got down to the ground, patted his hands and said.
“I don’t have time, so I’ll get to the point. “I was watching Mo Yong-se’s side.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“How was it? Was there any suspicious movement?”
Full Sang sighed.
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?”
“In fact, when you reach the level of the head of the sixth generation, you are flawless in handling matters. Even the practitioners who have seen the Lord of the Lotus from the side will know this very well.”
“hmm.”
“It certainly seemed like there was some suspicious movement. In particular, I looked at Mo Yong Yeon Hwa’s movements, and unlike usual, she was looking around the castle here and there.”
“so?”
“It’s definitely suspicious, but there hasn’t been any movement like sending Jeon Seo-gu or sending someone to join the alliance. Of course, they stationed people everywhere she stopped by, but they also said they didn’t notice anything unusual.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“Moyong Yeonhwa moved differently than usual. “That alone is enough.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t think like that. As Hugae said, if Prince Moyong decides to hide it, it will be difficult for anyone to know.”
Full-sang quenched his appetite. I feel sorry for Yeon Ho-jeong, but I am upset that I was not able to catch up with my opponent when he is said to be the best in the central region when it comes to information and intelligence.
“Anyway, the fact that Mo Yong-yeonhwa moved differently than usual probably means that there is something about her.”
“Maybe so, maybe not. “Let’s wait and see.”
“That’s right. ah! And…”
“Huh?”
Full Sang’s face became serious.
“Except for the information base of the so-called Mythological Church.”
“…?”
“First of all, there is no problem there, but there is something a little uncomfortable.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“What is that?”
“The soldier ordered the heads of the headquarters to monitor the situation in central and northern Hanam. “This is not what the government officials said.”
“…!”
No matter how weakened the power of the empire was, monitoring the movements of government officials was an extremely dangerous task. If this fact is discovered, the relationship between officials and government officials will deteriorate significantly.
Of course, they are secretly watching each other, but it is only in a way that is literally not revealed. If that fact becomes publicly known, a major political problem could arise.
In other words, Zhuge Liang thought that it was necessary to look after the government, even if it meant taking a lot of risk.
“But?”
“I received intelligence that an unknown master is moving south.”
“An unknown cilantro?”
“exactly.”
Full Sang’s face was very serious.
“The world is wide and there are many masters who work without revealing their names. “Excluding that possibility, we know most of the masters active in Henan and Hubei Province.”
“….”
“But I caught the presence of a master I had never heard of. “According to intelligence, it is said that even if the nameless master’s inaction is not good, he is at the level of the head of the six families.”
“…!”
“A master of the six families. No matter how big the world is, there are not many experts like him. Of course, we are aware of the movements of all the transcendental masters active in Hanam and Hubei, but not him. “After looking into people’s impressions of him, it turned out that he was Go Soo and others who had never been active in Moorim before.”
“…What about the outfit?”
“That’s what’s bothering me.”
Full Sang frowned.
“I was not wearing the official uniform, but I was wearing the clothes of a high-ranking official distributed by the government.”
“…!”
“And on that robe… there was a red epaulette that only those at the provincial command sergeant level or higher could wear.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face suddenly hardened.
There are sixteen provincial commanders in the central region. And each provincial commander commands a provincial headquarters.
Among them, the provincial commander is a high-ranking official of which there are only four in each province, and is a person of power equivalent to Jeongsampoom. It can be said that it is on a different level from the position of Jinmu of the Twelve Warlords of Shinhwaism.
“And he is heading southwest from central Henan. “This is exactly where the Murim League’s Daebyeolsan Mountain is located.”
“…Right.”
“I still don’t know if he is a member of the Shinhwa Church. If you don’t want something strange to be revealed to the outside world, you should avoid such attire, but you had the audacity to wear the official uniform provided by the government. “This is a little strange.”
“Nothing strange.”
The corner of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth twitched.
“The provincial commanding officer is on a different level from the duties of the upper commanding officer. If he is truly a member of the Shinhwa Church, it is rather difficult for us to touch him. “Because there will be a direct investigation from the empire.”
“Well, that’s right.”
Full-sang’s eyes lit up.
“What will you do? Are you going to go dig up after him yourself?”
“well.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked down at the Gwangryongbu.
“…How should we handle it this time?”
