Episode 503 Bulgongdaecheon (????) (3)
Late at night.
Slur.
Yeo Kang-hwi’s charm, which brightly colored the surroundings with a soft white color, gradually subsided.
“Whoa.”
The breath he was spitting out was very hot.
Although he was practicing an ice skill that would never exist again in the world, he was only human.
Although it was said that special martial arts were being practiced by borrowing the power of Mother Nature, the ones who embodied them were humans, so the body itself could not be made of ice.
But Yeo Kang-hwi was disappointed.
My father’s words rang in my ears.
– Bingbaekmu (???) has been with the history of Binggung. Yes, it’s like the reigning Demon Emperor that the Seo master is familiar with.
I heard that Dominion Demon Hwanggi is an absolute magic technique created by the First Heavenly Demon and has taken hundreds of years to become established in its current form.
Bingbaekmu is the same way. Bingbaekmu, created by the first palace lord, was perfected in its current form over hundreds of years.
Hundreds of years.
It’s easier said than done, but it wasn’t usually difficult to improve one martial skill for hundreds of years.
The perseverance and sincerity of past palace lords who perfected martial arts from generation to generation was truly remarkable.
However, there was a difference between Bingbaekmu and the reigning Demon Emperor.
– From what I heard from Master Seo, it was said that the reigning Demon Hwanggi was an absolute magic attack that unleashed extreme power even when it was first created.
Bingbaekmu is not like that. The original form of Bingbaekshingong is Bingryunsimbeop (????), which is the martial art you learned when you first entered martial arts.
Our Bingbaekmu is a peerless martial art that is built up from scratch and reaches the sky.
This also meant that Bingryunsimbeop was a solid martial art. In fact, it is just a basic ball that any warrior in Binggung can learn, but
without the basic ball, Binggung would not have received the name Saeoejeil (????).
– So, the palace lord’s blood relatives begin full-scale training after mastering the Bingryun Simbeop. Now then, let me ask you again.
What kind of considerations do you think are needed to elevate the bingbaek radish you are learning to the level of true mastery?
What do you think you need to understand to be able to completely smash Bingbaekmu into your body?”
‘I don’t know, father. ‘I still don’t know.’
There were only a few people in the history of Binggung who were Yeo Kang-hwi’s age and had mastered the Bing Baek Shin Gong to the level of the Ten Saints.
So to speak, he is a genius. Yeo Kang-hwi was, without a doubt, a martial arts genius.
However, even the talent given by heaven had its limits. In order to truly go beyond the principles of martial arts and master martial arts itself, something more than talent was needed.
Yeo Kang-hwi was curious about that, and his father answered as follows.
– Don’t try to handle the ice, become the ice yourself. Your body has already become a piece of ice. Is martial arts a big thing or a great skill?
You should start by abandoning the idea of simply completing a new skill. “The area you can rise to with talent is exactly the area you are standing in right now.”
Become ice. From here on, no talent is needed.
‘Is that true, father?’
Yeo Kang-hwi recalled Seo-ryang’s words.
– Talent? Talent… it’s good to have it, but what if you don’t have it? It’s a martial arts road that I have to walk down for the rest of my life anyway.
It is more important to go more surely than to go faster.
Of course, it changes again when you reach the peak. Because, regardless of the simple skeleton or senses, what is important is how you utilize what you have accumulated so far.
However, it may be too much for you to discuss that level now.”
It’s a word that hurts one’s self-esteem.
It hurts my pride, but it’s the truth. He was able to reach his current level faster than anyone else thanks to the talent given to him by heaven, but
at the same time, he was despairing of the huge wall he had never faced.
I became stronger and more solid. It’s still like that at this very moment.
But that’s it.
Jumping over the wall was a completely different matter.
“Ice… Become ice….”
“What are you saying that’s not funny?”
Yeo Kang-hwi, surprised, looked to the side.
“omg! “When did you come?”
“What and when are you coming? It came a long time ago. “There was no answer when I called, so I sat down and picked some weeds, and then I started complaining because you were talking nonsense.”
Surprisingly, Seo-ryang was sitting next to Yeo Kang-hwi. It was within reach if you just stretched out your hand.
Xu Liang smiled.
“Why were you so worried that you didn’t even know someone was here? “It’s not like he’s hiding his presence at all.”
“Ah…”
Yeo Kang-hwi said in a bitter voice.
“It’s a concern I always have.”
“Mugong Daeseong?”
“It’s not exactly that, but… yeah, it’s similar.”
“If it’s right, it’s right, if not, it’s not. What’s similar? Rotten.”
Yeo Kang-hwi grinned.
After getting his younger brother Yeo Sang-rin back, he tried not to look depressed. I always tried to live with a smile, and my laughter actually increased a lot.
But on days like today, it’s really hard to smile.
“Are you going tomorrow?”
Xiliang narrowed his eyes.
“How did you know when you didn’t even tell me?”
“It’s obvious. “The religious leaders I have seen so far are not people who like to waste time.”
“haha.”
“Besides, it’s been like that since long ago. “I definitely want to kill Dam Sa-young.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. It was like that. “Don’t you remember?”
“Well, that’s fine. Since I’ve been living such a busy life lately, I feel like my memory is gradually declining. Well, since I gritted my teeth and held on with the goal of killing that guy, I could have told you that too.”
Yeo Kang-hwi was not upset at all.
I was just curious.
“So you’ve become stronger?”
“hmm?”
“Did you go all the way up there because you wanted to catch him and give him a nice punch when you confronted him?”
Xu Liang chuckled.
“It’s a little different.”
“Please tell me.”
“well? As you know, our school is quite brutal. Well, that atmosphere has died down a lot these days, but the principle of strong self-respect is still rooted in the hearts of the demons.”
“Strong self-respect. Only the strong exist. Only the strong are worthy, and those who are not strong cannot survive….”
“Yes. Moreover, my teacher was a person who did not express his emotions in front of his students. “I had to prove myself.”
“okay.”
“No matter what, it was a bit harsh. You throw a disciple who lost all his strength due to being caught in a poison spell and throws him into the bamboo forest. “It’s really funny when I think about it now.”
“I lived in an environment where I couldn’t survive unless I became stronger. In other words, risk your life to become strong. “Do you mean this?”
“That’s the basics, I guess. As you said, it is true that I trained myself to be more flexible because I wanted to kill Dam Sa-young.”
“So what’s the difference?”
“hmm?”
Yeo Kang-hwi’s face, bathed in white moonlight, looked particularly whiter than usual.
“The difference between you and me. “I want to know the difference between the Little Palace Lord of the North Sea Ice Palace and the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Church.”
“….”
“The environment is different and the martial arts learned are different. I understand that. However, the desire to become stronger is no different between me and the religious leader.
“In some ways, I may be stronger.”
“….”
“They say that if your greed is too much, what little you have will be taken away from you, right? “I don’t believe that.”
“so do i.”
“yes. That’s right. In other words, my desire to become stronger surpassed that of the religious leader. “It may be rude to say this, but I think I am more gifted with simple uneducated talent.”
“That’s also true.”
“But I wonder why this gap has occurred and why I have not yet reached the level of heavenly rank.”
Yeo Kang-hwi sighed.
“Yes, I’m curious. really.”
There will be a lot you want to say. There will be much more than this. He probably wanted to pour out all the confusion and frustration he had.
But Yeo Kang-hwi did not do that. That’s because I didn’t think it had any meaning.
For a moment, Yeo Kang-hwi smiled bitterly.
“I looked a little ugly, didn’t I?”
“Do you know this?”
“yes?”
“You’re the type of person who sets a lot of limits.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“To be precise, it’s not enough to think on your own and come up with answers on your own, so you blindly believe in it.
When you listen to it, you may think it’s true, but you never change your opinion. her! “In that respect, you and Rin are similar.”
Yeo Kang-hwi’s eyes wavered.
Xu Liang smiled and waved his index finger.
“That kind of attitude is not good. Instead of taking anything for granted, you need to question everything.
“Once you think your body has been trained sufficiently, then you have to worry about it until your head splits.”
“Of course… in what way is it so?”
“hmm.”
Xiliang looked up at the sky.
‘….’
I tried to sleep well for today. Even though I couldn’t sleep, I tried to sleep somehow.
Tomorrow and tomorrow’s self.
In a way, it was because I was trying to meet the person who had lived up to this point and who had made me who I am today. I wanted to get enough sleep for that wonderful day.
But I think it was wrong.
Looking at Yeo Kang-hwi’s pure and honest eyes, I had no intention of going in there at all.
Those eyes resemble Joo Seo-yoon’s and Zhong Li-ying’s. Inside was Ma Dong-pil and Yeom-ra who was screaming like crazy on a battlefield where blood and flesh were splattering.
“…Well, there’s no need to be special.”
“yes?”
“no.”
It’s funny that even though we prepare for tomorrow, we don’t live today as ourselves.
“You said it with your own mouth earlier. The environment is different and the martial arts you learn are different. “I understand that, but isn’t the desire to become stronger the same?”
“I did.”
“Why aren’t you thinking about that?”
“yes?”
“The environment is different and the martial arts skills are different. That’s where the difference between you and I becomes extreme. “That is something you should never take for granted.”
“…!!”
“The only thing that is natural in this world is the providence of nature. There are many people in the world who wield the power to defy even the laws of nature. For example, there was a guy called the Beast King, right?”
“….”
“Never take it for granted. Never look down on me. “You should never pass anything over and try to dig into the phenomenon itself.”
“So…”
“You have the same desire to become stronger? That’s ridiculous.
So are there people in this world who want to be weak? The desire for strength is the instinct of all living things born and raised in Mother Nature.
“Even a mere insect seeks strength, so why are you so emphasizing that your strength is so special?”
“….”
“That is only natural. “Once you realize why it is natural, you have to look beyond that point.”
“Ah….”
“If the martial arts are different, why are they different? What are the characteristics of those martial arts? If the environments are different, what are the advantages and disadvantages of those environments? “What would I have done? I wonder if I am right now.”
Yeo Kang-hwi’s eyes wavered.
Xu Liang smiled.
“When you question everything and accept all the facts as they are, new doors open.”
“…!”
“And such actions are the completion of self-realization through martial arts.”
In an instant, a shock like a thunderbolt struck Yeo Kang-hwi’s head.
‘Become ice…’
What is Bingbaekmu pursuing?
And is what Bingbaekmu pursues the same as what I pursue?
Crispy!
A crack began to appear in the hard shell.
“That’s right.”
Seo-ryang stood up and rolled up his sleeves.
“I gave up thinking about sleeping because of you, but I’m sad if nothing comes of it. “Today, I will have fun beating up the noble Binggung’s direct lineage.”
It was the night before I met Dam Sa-young.
