Episode 398
Melee (4) Hwiiiiing
!
The world knows the wonders of Shaolin martial arts, but when they actually see them in action, most martial artists are left speechless.
It was not simply because of its outstanding power.
Shaolin martial arts uses the principles of stillness and movement as clear guidelines that can be confirmed with the n.a.k.e.d eye.
In particular, such characteristics stand out in the new law. I could feel that just by looking at Cheol-kyung Lee’s new method.
Huh! Whoa!
The surrounding scenes are pushed backwards at an alarming speed.
Without any dynamic movement, he just stepped with his feet back and forth alternately. It was not a powerful step, but a light and brisk movement, as if crossing stepping stones.
Still, the speed was frighteningly fast. The torso is held firmly in place and only the light movements of the two legs are used to achieve unimaginable speeds.
This was the new law that Shaolin was proud of, the Geumgangbudongshinbeop. And only when this divine law is mastered will the legend of Shaolin, known as the legend of Shaolin, be revealed.
A mythical divine method that creates nine afterimages with one light step.
At just over 30 years old, Cheol-kyung Lee was witnessing the extreme meaning of Geumgangbudong.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Lee Cheol-kyung, who had been running for a while, suddenly looked behind him.
‘That’s strange.’
A look of puzzlement appeared on Lee Cheol-kyung’s face as he looked at Beom-oh.
‘Why is there a new law of capital punishment…’
Lee Cheol-kyung’s martial arts skills were extremely outstanding.
Shaolin does not pass on the secret techniques of the temple to those who do not possess the talent and character. There was no need to mention that it was fake.
Lee Cheol-kyung received a passing grade not because of his ancestral ties, but because of the talent and character required by Shaolin. That’s why he can use the seasons of Shaolin.
On the other hand, Beom-o was different.
Beom-o was a Buddhist monk from Bonsan who formed a relationship with a public ambassador of Shaolin and became a monk in Shaolin at the age of fifteen.
If he trained martial arts at that age and is now mentioned as the next leader of the Arhat clan, it meant that Beom-oh’s talent was no less than that of Lee Cheol-gyeong. In particular, Beom-oh’s passion for winning made him crazy about martial arts, and thanks to that, he was able to build his current state.
In other words, in terms of skill alone, he is superior to Lee Cheol-kyung.
‘Why does Jinki keep shaking?’
The new law of death penalty that followed him was strange.
I can’t put it into words, but I felt like I wasn’t following the teachings of Geumgangbudong properly. To be more precise, even though I had mastered the Diamond Budongsin method, I felt like I was forcing my movements and energy to be distorted.
As for his skills, there was no way he would be inferior to his, no matter how long he had taken a break from training. However, they keep spreading the divine law in a strange way.
Cheol-kyung Lee did not bother to bury his doubts.
“execution.”
Even though he was running at such a fast pace, Lee Cheol-kyung’s voice did not waver one bit.
Beom-oh looked at Lee Cheol-kyung with puzzled eyes.
A look of concern appeared on Lee Cheol-kyung’s face.
“Your complexion is not good. The new law also keeps shaking. However, there are no signs of internal or external damage, so are you doing this on purpose?”
“I’m fine.”
Beom-oh’s voice, unlike Lee Cheol-kyung’s, was slightly shaking.
“There will be nothing holding you back. So don’t worry and keep running.”
“Oh yeah.”
What can you do when you say that? Cheol-kyung Lee buried the unanswered questions in his heart and ran away again.
For a moment, Beom-oh’s eyes lit up.
‘That’s it.’
Surprisingly, Beom-oh’s eyes as he looked at Lee Cheol-gyeong’s wonderful new method were filled with caution, not admiration.
‘The priest’s divine law is truly exemplary. The method of Geumgangbudong is properly implemented. If we maintain the same pace of achievement in the future, we may be able to reach the level of a senior product within ten years.’
Beom-o could see that Lee Cheol-kyung’s new method was close to perfection.
But a question arose.
‘Why does it look frustrating?’
Cheol-kyung Lee’s divine law was identical to his own. I learned the same teachings and the same phrases.
Even though Lee Cheol-kyung and Beom-o had differences in physique, their height and limb length were surprisingly similar. Although Beom-oh, who had a larger physique, gave a more solid impression, it was no exaggeration to say that he had the same posture and use of true energy when using divine techniques.
‘But why do I feel like I’m wrong?’
Beom-oh was also able to use the Geumgang Floating Body method like Lee Cheol-kyung. No, in terms of skill level, he was better than Lee Cheol-kyung.
But why? As he headed south with Lee Cheol-kyung, he suddenly felt that Lee Cheol-kyung’s posture seemed awkward.
‘No, the priest’s divine law is not clumsy.’
Beom-oh’s eyes deepened.
‘If I substitute myself for the priest’s movements, it just looks clumsy.’
Yes.
Lee Cheol-kyung is learning a form of new method that suits him. The exemplary form of Geumgang Imbudong Shinbeop fits perfectly with the Shinbeop pursued by Lee Cheol-kyung.
But it wasn’t him.
‘Not only is my martial arts skills, but my personality is different from that of a priest.’
Although he was often unaware of his true feelings, Lee Cheol-kyung was a person with such a great personality that he received passing marks from all the adults at the headquarters.
On the other hand, Beom-oh himself was different. From the time he entered Shaolin, he was a true monk among monks who grew up to become one of the many masters of the Arhat clan.
Before his talent, his personality was not that of a monk. Although he followed the teachings of Buddha, he first grew to become the incarnation of Shaolin martial arts.
Since their personalities were different, the same martial arts skills could not be interpreted in different directions. While Lee Cheol-gyeong used the martial arts of martial arts that were unique to Shaolin, being solemn and strong, yet showing no concessions, Beom-o used martial arts with a more aggressive and destructive tendency.
‘Unbelievable.’
Beom-oh’s eyes, which had been deeply sunken, began to shine more and more brightly.
‘It’s only now that I realize this obvious truth.’
The interpretation of the sage’s words varies from person to person. How much different would it be if it were martial arts?
‘I’ve only imitated Shaolin’s martial arts so far, but I haven’t been able to make them my own.’
What immediately came to his mind was the room manager Sasuk’s stern reprimand.
‘The spirit of winning is a heart that anyone can have if they have learned martial arts. But arrogance is different. Maybe your five years of wallowing were not a success but a failure.’
The spirit of winning is the driving force behind martial arts growth. However, arrogance and conceit are the main causes of martial stagnation.
Beom-oh was conceited. I thought I was the best because of my talent and my accomplishments faster than anyone else in the company.
However, his arrogance was shattered in front of the incarnation of real warfare beyond imagination.
‘Yeonhojeong!’
Yes.
Yeon Ho-jeong was superior to him simply in terms of martial arts level.
Beom-oh could not admit it. The fact that a young man nearly 15 years younger than him had achieved a higher level than himself.
But that was the obvious truth, and he didn’t even show half of his skills in his confrontation with himself.
Even then, he overwhelmed himself. It wasn’t even a fight to begin with.
The words of the room manager, Sasuk, came to mind again.
‘Defeat is defeat. If it were life or death, you wouldn’t have been able to complain to me like you are now. I mean, he’s probably dead.’
‘How can you improve your skills if you stay in a room and just punch? Although one can master the principles of martial arts, martial arts skills that cannot express those principles physically are only half-hearted. Your martial arts skills are the same now.’
Beom-oh sighed.
‘It’s a shame.’
When I think back to that time, I was so embarrassed that it made me shudder. No matter how great the shock of defeat was, he lashed out at Sa-suk with words that didn’t seem like words.
Not wanting to admit defeat, my arrogance reached its peak and I couldn’t see what I should have seen. By failing to do the very simple act of reflecting on himself, he disappointed the adult monk and put the brakes on his own development.
‘The martial arts of Shaolin are invincible. However, what made Shaolin martial arts invincible was not the magic of the martial arts themselves, but the hard work and skills of the Zen masters who proved them to the world.’
It was that moment.
Flash!
A subtle golden glow appeared in Beom-oh’s eyes.
‘Defeat is not something to be ashamed of. ‘What’s shameful is not being able to admit defeat and clinging to it.’
Obsession leads to anger and desire leads to intolerance.
Wooooow!
At that moment, Beom-oh heard the sound of a temple bell ringing frighteningly within his body.
The sound of a bell ringing from Sosilbong Peak in Seongsan, Hanam.
The sound of the bell, which was full of majesty and put the listener’s mind at ease, was ripping out Beom-oh’s stubbornness from the roots.
Hwaaaaaaaaa!
Cheol-kyung Lee, who was running at the front, was startled by a sudden wave of energy like an active volcano and looked back.
“omg! execution?!”
Beom-oh’s entire body was covered in a soft golden light.
That wasn’t all. The sight of Beom-oh performing the Geumgang Budongshinbeop with his hands folded and his eyes half-opened without realizing it himself made the viewer feel solemn.
Wooooow! Oooooh!
The faintly spreading sound of the temple bell shook Lee Cheol-kyung’s inner strength.
Lee Cheol-kyung’s eyes, which were full of surprise, were filled with wonder.
‘Exercise new skills! What kind of enlightenment did you gain in that short period of time?’
Shaolin martial arts involves no compromise in the harmony of mind and body.
Beom-oh’s spirit, which had been stricken with arrogance and oppressed by a sense of defeat, blossomed in a moment of enlightenment. Then, his body, which had withered due to a long hiatus from the movement, began to change from the root.
Flash! Flash!
The soft golden glow became explosively darker in an instant.
This is the true breaking through the wall of infinity. The body had overcome the infinite wall, but the spirit could not escape, and the wall was being broken so easily that it seemed futile.
The true flowering of Shaolin’s absolute martial arts, Mahayana Brahma Heavenly Divine Powers.
hook!
The golden essence instantly condensed into the body.
Beom-oh opened his eyes.
The moment Lee Cheol-kyung made eye contact with him, he felt himself faintly shrinking. Beom-o’s lion-like eyes, which were different from before, were similar to those of King Myeong in the legend, who tramples and purifies evil.
“Priests.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
“I had a hard time worrying about the ugly death penalty.”
Paralalalak!
The hem of Beom-o’s lyrics fluttered like the wings of a hawk.
“Go quickly. “An unusual wind is blowing from the south.”
Cheol-kyung Lee grinned.
“Shall we start running?”
Paaaaaa!
The two people ran away at an even more frightening speed.
These were the steps of true stars who would reliably support Shaolin both inside and outside.
* * *
“The commander of the Mortal Army came personally?”
“That’s right.”
Sima Xuan nodded.
“Take it.”
“yes.”
After a while.
Wow!
The door of the abandoned building opened and a young man holding a massive ax appeared.
Sima Xuan, who had been sitting in the dark, got up.
“Are you Yeonhojeong Daehyup, the commander of the Mortal Army?”
“….”
“…?”
“…Nice to see this.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“exactly. “I am Yeonhojeong, Mr. Eumsin.”
