Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 165 Wind from the North Sea (5)

“It was a lot of trouble building the iron horse barn.”

“thank you.”

Joo Seo-yoon’s face was still expressionless as she bowed her head politely.

Lee Cheon-sang, who was looking down at her, nodded.

“It is said to be relative to each other. “It looks like you’ve worked hard so far.”

“…thank you.”

It is never easy to receive such praise from Lee Cheon-sang. It was a moment when Joo Seo-yoon’s talent and effort shined.

“The Purple Magic Gong (紫電魔功) is particularly specialized in destructive power among the top ten magic arts. On the other hand, it has the disadvantage of weak endurance.”

“yes.”

“You made use of your lack of endurance with your unique method of using magical energy. “Rather than maximizing the strengths, you made up for the weaknesses.”

“That’s right.”

“It is proof that you have a good understanding of the path your martial arts is taking. not bad.”

Lee Cheon-sang took a drink and continued speaking.

“But I can’t help but feel some regrets.”

Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes sparkled.

These are the words of the only person on campus who can make her heart flutter. She never listened to Lee Cheon-sang’s words like that.

No, it actually went one step further.

“Please give me instructions.”

He is also the only opponent whom I can put my pride aside. This was the reason why he had no hesitation in seeking instruction.

Lee Cheon-sang said.

“Your martial arts is merely limited to the word martial. “Nothing else exists.”

“…?”

“The pros and cons of martial arts are trivial. “You failed to add a truly important element to your martial arts skills.”

“What is that?”

“This is not an area that can be understood just by being told, so you must realize it yourself.”

Joo Seo-yoon bowed her head even more deeply.

If Lee Cheon-sang is like that, then so be it. She completely trusted Lee Cheon-sang’s words.

“Thank you for your teachings.”

What did you think when you saw Joo Seo-yoon like that?

Lee Cheon-sang opened his mouth again.

“Even a scholar who has read tens of thousands of books cannot be fluent in the laws of the world.”

“…?”

“In order to become fluent in the ways of the world, you must get out of the box. “You are no different from the scholars who blindly believed only in the words in books.”

Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes wavered.

She had heard something like this some time ago.

– I thought hard and actively clashed with people to solve problems. When I had to use my martial arts, I charged boldly, and when I had to use my head, I didn’t even raise my fist, let alone my sword.

– I believe that such process experiences come together one by one to complete ‘learning’. It is the same as if you lock yourself in a closet and read tens of thousands of books, you will only increase your knowledge, but it will be difficult to gain wisdom.

– That’s probably why the three gongjas have become so strong now.

These were the words of the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Hu Yaoseong.

Ho Yao-seong also learned martial arts, but he was by no means at the level of an expert. It was enough to shake my heart, but that was why his advice did not resonate that well.

But Lee Cheon-sang was also saying the same thing to her.

Does this mean that polar opposites are compatible? Lee Cheon-sang, who had glimpsed the pinnacle of martial arts, and Ho Yo-seong, who had established an unrivaled domain in the literary world, both saw Joo Seo-yoon’s shortcomings in the same way.

“If… what should I do?”

“Only you can fix your stiff head. If that were possible, it would grow steadily even when we eat or sleep.”

“….”

“Just go out and have a look.”

“…yes.”

Joo Seo-yoon stood up.

‘My head has hardened?’

A warrior must risk his life on martial arts alone. That’s how she learned and that’s how she grew.

However, he says that the path he has taken is not the right path. I couldn’t help but be confused.

At that time, a person’s voice rang out from outside Daejeon.

“Master. “The Three Dukes ask to see you.”

“Come on in.”

Coogugung.

The gates of Daejeon opened and Seo-ryang entered.

Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes turned to him.

‘Third brother…’

At that moment, her face hardened.

Pusssss.

There is nothing visible, but smoke seems to rise from the ground every time you walk.

Even though it doesn’t necessarily emit energy waves, it gives off a presence that you can’t take your eyes off of. A great sense of composure was evident in Seoryang’s trotting pace.

Joo Seo-yoon’s complexion suddenly changed.

This feeling as if the energy in the body is naturally boiling even though it does not exude magical energy.

‘no way?!’

Seo-ryang glanced at Joo Seo-yoon.

I felt a ray of surprise on his expressionless face, and the admiration and confusion embedded in that surprise.

‘It feels good.’

I recognized my status at a glance. Even though I could not reach the realm of transcendence, I felt a temperament of a different level. It was a very sensitive feeling.

But that’s it. Seoliang took his eyes off her and bowed his head to Lee Cheon-sang.

“came.”

“okay.”

Lee Cheon-sang said.

“Let’s go out for the fifth time.”

“…yes.”

Joo Seo-yoon left for Daejeon.

‘I didn’t see it wrong.’

Her face was stained with shock.

‘Extreme Demon…!’

An absolute wall that someone who transcends human limitations crashes into.

The supreme state where one begins to break away from even the concept of martial arts is the ultimate state. It was clear that the third brother had achieved the ultimate level of magic, easily mastering any magic technique.

‘how?!’

While practicing martial arts, I never once became complacent. But I knew that I had more special talent than others. Even if you look around the world right now, it is not easy to find a master who has reached the same level as her.

The third brother was on a completely different level from himself. Even though the age difference was only three or four years, the level was completely different.

She left Daejeon with a pounding heart.

“How do you feel?”

“yes?”

Seoliang tilted his head.

“What do you mean?”

“The fifth word.”

“…?”

“What was the fifth like when you saw it with your own eyes?”

“Are you okay?”

Okay. But that’s it. Its strength and talent are surprising, so I keep an eye on it for a while, but that’s it.

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

“In terms of talent, including yours, you are by far the best in our school. “If I had to really ask, the youngest one deserves to be compared to him.”

“That’s right.”

“But we couldn’t fix a single problem.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“It’s a wall that people with great talent always struggle with. “If you just break through it, you will become frighteningly strong.”

“That’s also true.”

Lee Cheon-sang raised his hand.

Ugh.

An empty glass floated to the surface.

“Would you like a drink?”

“Ah, thank you.”

The cup that Xi Liang accepted contained the Sichuan famous liquor Five Liquor.

“I guess you like Sichuan alcohol.”

“Sacheon’s land is famous for its abundance. “The alcohol made there is without a doubt the best.”

“is that so?”

Xu Liang emptied his glass. It definitely smells good, but it doesn’t feel that much different from other famous liquors.

Lee Cheon-sang asked.

“Did the conversation end well with the little owner of the ice palace?”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“Did you know?”

“There is nothing that happened on campus that I don’t know about.”

Although the words were said as if they were obvious, those who heard them could not help but feel an eerie feeling.

Xu Liang sighed.

“He came up with a pretty cute offer.”

“I guess saying you wanted to see our school was just an excuse.”

“So you put me in the bamboo forest?”

“It was a consideration in its own way.”

“It seems like we have already broken through the level of inviolability between the two countries.”

“Even if your body is fine, your mind can be exhausted.”

If the demons on campus saw this scene, they would have doubted their eyes and ears. Lee Cheon-sang was not a person who talked a lot or had long conversations with anyone.

Xiliang scratched his head.

“Well, what did he suggest…”

“I’m not curious.”

“yes?”

Lee Cheon-sang said as he filled his glass.

“The seat of Saeoeosagung, which had been silent for so long, has moved. It must be something unusual. “Whether it’s an alliance or a provocation, what’s important is what happens after the conversation between you and that child.”

“You don’t know what conversation was going on.”

“At least you know that he called you instead of coming for me.”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up again.

“Instead of looking for the owner, I called the owner’s child and had a chat. Even when the Sword Palace and the Beast Palace were in trouble.”

Lee Cheon-sang passed the glass.

“It is either a benefit or a loss to our school. “In the end, it’s probably one of those two reasons.”

Xu Liang’s eyes narrowed.

“What if he has something else up his sleeve? So to speak, what would you do if you came here to harm our school?”

“The Sogungju of the Ice Palace has entered the main school.”

“….”

“It’s a situation where we can’t force ourselves for any reason.”

They say that if you make a mistake, you just catch it and get rid of it.

Seo-ryang quietly expressed his admiration.

“You’re really… amazing.”

I don’t wonder about things that anyone else would wonder about. In other words, what is important is not the reason but the result. If you look at the types of results and think about them backwards, you will realize that there is no need to be curious.

He is a person who is well versed in martial arts history and the world. Even though he does not have the ability to predict the future, he always sees the flow of events accurately and never loses his composure.

‘scary.’

It was not because of martial arts or presence.

Seo-ryang felt a sense of fear due to Lee Cheon-sang’s wisdom and insight. Hu Yao-seong also had an unimaginable eye, but Lee Cheon-sang was different from him.

‘It is an enlightenment that transcends wisdom. The way you look at the world is completely different.’

When summer comes it will be hot, and when winter comes it will be cold. I know when summer will come and I know when winter will come.

By knowing this natural principle, you can prepare for heat and cold in advance. The world that Lee Cheon-sang sees is contained within the word ‘naturalness.’

“so.”

Xu Liang looked up at him.

Lee Cheon-sang said with an interested face.

“Are you going to be busy again?”

“Unfortunately, that is the case.”

“Is this something that can be resolved on campus? Or should I go to the suburbs?”

“It’s both.”

“We are allies.”

It sent shivers down my spine.

“I haven’t seen him, but not just anyone can become the little owner of the ice palace. It’s a place that imposes stricter standards on blood relatives. In other words, the guy you met is by no means an easy guy.”

“He said so.”

“Don’t be swayed, try swinging. “If you want to make your dreams come true.”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“So, I have a favor to ask you.”

“Speak.”

“Can we mobilize our school’s troops?”

“It is impossible if it has to be done in secret.”

“Hmm… I guess so.”

The reason Gwangmadae was able to be attached to the Gamchalsa Temple is because it was external and official.

However, if there are only a few people who need to know right away, you cannot attach a military history. If it was just an on-campus issue, wouldn’t it be something that external forces were involved in?

Seoyang, who was scratching his head, stood up.

“There is no choice. “I’ll think about it a little more.”

“i get it.”

“then.”

Ugh.

A document came into Lee Cheon-sang’s hand.

Lee Cheon-sang, who confirmed the contents, threw the document to Seo-ryang.

“Please note.”

Xu Liang looked at the document.

‘Hmm, it’s just a report on the mission status of the troops on campus, right? But what….’

Huh?

Seoliang, who was looking intently at the bottom of the document, immediately smiled.

“thank you.”

“Next time, if your walking is poor, I will take your walking skills away.”

He seemed to have seen through the realm of the Demon Emperor’s realm at a glance. Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.

“I have to be better than this so I don’t feel embarrassed.”

“Let’s just go out now.”

“yes.”

Coogugung.

As Seo-ryang left Daejeon, Lee Cheon-sang muttered.

“But you still do the basics.”
