Chapter 356
356. The first person in the world (2)
Actually, I didn’t know much about Murim.
If I had to say what I knew, it was that martial arts were regarded as the highest value.
And other than that, it was like all they knew was that the Tower was one of those worlds that had long been rooted in.
‘If you change your perspective, revival of the Baek family is not that difficult.’
however.
‘Anyway, it will be enough if I destroy all places that can compete with the Baek family.’
There was one thing I was sure of from the experience I had gained while climbing the tower.
“Now, you won’t have to be bound by things like forces.”
It’s nothing else…
“Whoever it is, if it’s at the level of the Black Night Beast, I can get rid of them all.”
That only one power can crush all that lies beyond.
‘Actually, even if I fight only using martial arts, I won’t be defeated.’
But doesn’t Baek Cheon-hyeok think so?
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha…”
Baek Cheon-hyeok said with a barely-there smile on his hard face.
“Even if it’s no joke, it seems like it’s giving me strength because Daehyeop said that…”
But that’s for a while.
“I’m not joking.”
“What is that…”
“It’s just that if you really get in the way of the old file room or the Murim Meng, you’ll destroy everything.”
“…”
“?”
Could it be that he dismissed what I said to him as a joke?
Suddenly, as soon as Baek Chun-hyeok heard that he was not joking, he closed his lips and fell silent.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed with a little doubt and great anxiety.
‘…Why can’t I believe this?’
It’s like seeing a psychopath who can run amok at any moment.
And at that, I slightly frowned and felt shallow dissatisfaction. Still, in my own way
, I think I
showed quite a few skills that were considered legendary in Moorim .
“I can destroy any number of insignificant people who rely only on power.”
Baek Chun-hyeok revealed what he actually thought.
“…Uhm. I’m sorry to Han Seong-yoon Daehyeop, but it is impossible to get rid of the old file room and, furthermore, the Moorim League.”
“Why do you think so?”
“…Because the head masters of the family are masters who have reached the status quo. Even if the immortals in the sky over there come back alive, we won’t be able to guarantee victory.”
“okay.”
But I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him.
“Hmm…”
It was just like that.
“But I think I can win against the freshmen in the sky no matter how many times I come down…”
Freshman?
It can’t be an ancient deity, so I’m guessing it’s at the level of a formal deity.
They were only relative weaklings who were only official gods.
Of course, he was qualified to reign as the ruler of any planet in any world.
To put it bluntly, godhood itself is not a very common concept.
However, that does not mean that the formal divine status is particularly strong.
‘There’s no way I’m going to lose to something like a freshman just because my physical abilities have been lowered.’
It was natural.
No matter how good an insect is, it cannot defeat a human being
.
In fact, the gods under the Ancient Godheads were no different from mortals, to put it bluntly.
‘If it’s a battle between conceptual divinities, there’s no way anyone can lose.’
It’s not such a trivial thing as confidence.
Even if it is the best ant among ants, its essence is just an ant, and there is no need to talk about confidence in trampling on an ant.
Everyone knows that humans can crush ants to death.
So, without even thinking for a moment, I purred my lips and muttered the thoughts in my head.
“At least those things are strong, how strong are they…”
And Baek Chun-hyeok cleared his throat and said, hiding his embarrassment as much as possible.
“…Anyway, Daehyeop Han Seong-yoon doesn’t have to go that far.”
Baek Cheon-hyeok continued talking as if he didn’t even want that.
“…As long as my daughter is safe, that is enough for me.”
Before he knew it, Baek Cheon-hyeok said in a tone that he would ask for it like before.
“And it won’t be difficult to do that either. volcanic wave. Because I have been there before.”
As soon as I heard those words, I felt a certain word pass through my head.
—…The Volcano faction has benefited from the Shingeombaekga in the past.
—So I was wondering if you are a descendant of the Shingeombaek family.
—Anyway, you are a descendant of the Shingeombaek family, so someday you will have to settle the grievances of the past.
It’s nothing else…
‘Come to think of it, I’ve heard that in the giant tree labyrinth.’
It was because he remembered what Lee Jin-gyeong, the elder of the Volcano faction, said in the giant tree labyrinth.
‘At that time, I think I just passed it on with the thought of checking it later…’
Only then did I listen to Baek Cheon-hyeok’s words with great concentration.
‘Was the story at that time continued like this?’
And accordingly, the story of Baek Cheon-hyeok continued without interruption.
“There was a time when I recovered the inner core method called Honwonjingi (混元眞氣), which was said to have been practiced in the volcano wave in the past.”
To be honest, I didn’t know much about martial arts, but I knew about martial arts to some extent.
Simbeop is a skill that allows you to train your magic circuit and, by extension, accumulate high-quality magic within your body. Of course, it doesn’t
mean anything to
me, who can endlessly raise magic power with necromancy in addition to the tower .
“Are you saying that he gave back the skill that can build internal energy in the short circuit instead of magical power…?”
It means that the mature man in front of him has given the Volcano Wave an unprecedented amount of grace.
“It is. It was not the martial arts that represented the volcano itself, but it was nonetheless classified as rising martial arts. I have brought it back.”
But Baek Chun-hyeok said with a bitter smile.
“Even if I did, I couldn’t even say that I was grateful to Hwasan’s long master, but…”
It was as if he had brought out one of the painful memories he had experienced in the past.
“Though one of Hwasan’s elders, Sounjin-in, thanked them greatly.”
“…”
“Perhaps if it were him, he wouldn’t refuse if I asked him to accept my daughter as a registered disciple…”
“At least I understand.”
and.
“…Whoa. I’m glad you understand. With this, I can ease my worries for an hour-.”
“In short, it means that you can destroy all but one volcanic wave without worrying about it.”
“?”
next moment.
“Then there is nothing to worry about now.”
Only then did I smile and say as if reassuring Baek Cheon-hyeok.
“Anyway, within a month, I will fairly and squarely eliminate all forces.”
And that too in a very benevolent tone.
***
Time passed quickly.
Of course, it was only about three days if I had to count the time I had been there.
But even so, a lot has changed in just those three days.
First of all, it was because I settled down with treatment that exceeded that of the escort of the Baek family.
‘Still, I guess he’s a benefactor who saved the family in his own way…’
It’s not even that.
Was it thanks to the fact that he saved the family’s life from being cut off?
Before I knew it, I was entrusted with the escort of Baekhak Swordsman, which could be considered the most important in the Baek family.
And it wasn’t just protecting her, it was also accompanied by things that only I could do.
“hello.”
It’s nothing else…
“From now on, I’m the one who will be Lady Snow White’s martial arts instructor.”
Snow White.
In a word, it was because I was teaching a girl who could be said to be the past of the White Crane Swordsman.
The fifteen-year-old girl in front of me screamed like a chick with a stiff body like a machine.
“…It’s an honor to learn martial arts from a master like a benefactor!”
It seemed that he was stiff as if he was not used to this kind of thing.
I was wondering why he treated me so politely….
Before long, the question was immediately answered.
“That and… that. I think it would be fine if the benefactor could talk to me comfortably…”
It was well worth it.
“I even wore a life jacket, but even though I am the daughter of a family, it is not polite to listen to honorifics…”
I, reflected in her eyes, must be a ray of light that strikes the family of the Baek family.
‘Even if that’s the case, in reality it’s just an outside challenger.’
It would probably not be appropriate to insist on honorifics like Baek Seol-hwa said.
However, I couldn’t easily lower my words because of that.
The situation was somehow twisted, but isn’t the girl in front of her the past of Baekhak Geomseon?
If so, it bothered me to use words that were not honorifics to her.
‘…No matter how much he’s a teacher, it’s a bit awkward to speak rudely.’
So I shook my head slowly and answered.
“You don’t have to be so burdened. miss. It’s just because it’s comfortable.”
“that… song…?”
“yes.”
“If that’s the case, it doesn’t matter…”
“It’s really okay, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Snow White glanced at her like a small animal as if she was uncomfortable, but she couldn’t help it.
The truth is, I don’t feel comfortable treating her like this.
But it didn’t end there.
“…Then what should I call Eun-gong now? Master Han Seong-yoon? Or you could call it Master Han Seong-yoon—”
Before she could finish her words, I spoke with a straight face.
“I can’t do that because I’m not an official disciple.”
And to those words that clearly drew a line, Snow White responded slowly like a flaccid chick.
“…yes.”
Of course, from her point of view, she might feel slightly offended…
‘…I never thought I would be called a teacher by Baekhak Geomseon.’
To be honest, I couldn’t help but feel relieved when I saw this side.
If somehow the relationship gets twisted here, the relationship with Baekhak Geomseon will become ambiguous later on.
And Snow White, who didn’t know that fact, seemed to feel a sense of distance, perhaps because she had pushed her away slightly, but I quickly changed the topic.
“For now, let’s learn simple sword techniques.”
At least it seemed like there would be less to worry about while teaching her martial arts.
‘Anyway, for the revival of the Baek family, the level of Baek Seol-hwa must be improved.’
Not even that.
Teaching Baek Seol-hwa within the Baek family was a kind of measure of the process of clearing the ordeal.
The fact that the Tower of Trials gave 10 years of trial period meant that it could take a lot of time to clear the trials…
Considering that, it was right to quickly measure Snow White’s level and set a schedule to quickly make her stronger. .
Because that would be the most efficient of all.
‘It would be better to move after seeing at least the level of Snow White.’
It was as simple as measuring Snow White’s growth.
After about two days, the answer came right away.
It’s nothing else…
“…um.”
to a level beyond what I thought.
“…why can’t you follow this?”
Before I knew it, I narrowed my eyes as I saw Snow White breathing heavily in the center of the large gymnasium.
‘What is this again?’
It has to be.
In fact, it must be Snow White, who should be more talented than anyone here.
I don’t know why, but Snow White’s growth was slow even though I was teaching martial arts myself.
“…Ugh! How come you can’t follow that! There’s no way you can copy that!”
but for a while.
“It’s not like he’s telling you the rules of martial arts in a standard way, he just demonstrated herbivore skills…!”
Snow White’s face turned red and he answered, so he had nothing to say.
“That’s right.”
It was.
As a martial arts master, I taught her martial arts, but I didn’t know much about martial arts.
Except for what I learned from Baekhakgeomseon, most of my martial arts were only seen with my own eyes and copied.
‘I don’t know how to teach anything other than this because they just demonstrated martial arts…’
I was frustrated.
It was just a matter of reading the intention of the sword and embodying its essence as intention.
And the rest is something that needs repeated mastery.
‘I thought I would learn it quickly even if I taught it like this, but it wasn’t.’
However, Snow White could not follow the process.
At this point, I want to openly look at Snow White and say, ‘You taught me that way.’
In fact, except for copying other people’s martial arts while climbing the tower, there was nothing more I could do for him because he had never properly learned martial arts.
‘What should I do?’
I was worried.
At about this point, should we stop raising Snow White for a while and shake off the forces first?
If it was this way, no matter how much she was raised here, she wouldn’t be able to stand out.
At that, I looked at Snow White as if it was a pity, and soon after, she said with shame on her face as if she was making an excuse.
“… oops! Please don’t look at me like that! You can’t do anything you can’t do!”
“I didn’t do anything different.”
“…You looked at me as if you didn’t know how to do this… yo.”
“no. It can’t be. It is an illusion.”
I didn’t look at Snow White so pathetically.
If I had to argue, I was going to teach him how to use chopsticks, but as it turned out, I was just surprised that he had to teach me how to move his hands first.
Other than that, there is nothing like being disappointed with Snow White.
Then I looked at her quietly, tilted my head, and thought.
‘Should I just erase all the forces other than the Baek family and think again?’
But that was for a while.
“Even if I’m the best equipment in the world, if I haven’t eaten all the famous medicines in the old school, I can’t do it like Master.”
That would be the case too…
“A miracle drug?”
Before I knew it, I was fascinated by the words that flowed from Snow White’s beautiful lips.
“yes! Elixir! Things like Hwasan’s Maehwadan or Jongnam’s Yuundan!”
“Does taking them make any difference?”
“of course!”
Snow White triumphantly placed both hands on her waist and continued.
“Perhaps, if I take the famous medicine, I will become very good at my five points like Master Han Seong-yoon, and my inner strength will increase that much!”
“Is that so?”
“That’s a lot too…!”
“Then can you elaborate?”
“uh…? I don’t know that much… but maybe it’s as good as this…?”
Only then did Snow White draw a circle with her arms, pursed lips like a nervous cat.
‘…Should I say that he’s still a child?’
As if the size of the circle her arms were drawing helped her.
However, the process of understanding was as simple as that.
Before I knew it, I came to the conclusion that giving Snow White elixir would help her grow to some degree.
In any case, if she had to grow up to be comparable to a freshman, the method was decided.
‘…If Snow White is to grow to the level of a god, it must have a certain level of foundation.’
At least the level of Snow White had to be reached to make her a god.
‘Then it wouldn’t be bad to use someone else’s elixir.’
Then I nodded and asked a question.
“There are many elixirs in places like Hwasan and Jongnam?”
“sure! An old file room cannot be an old file room for nothing. Maybe it would have been different if I had grown up eating great medicines like the technicians there?”
“I see…”
“Whoops! If so, maybe I could have learned martial arts just by watching martial arts demonstrations like Master Han Seong-yoon thanks to the famous medicine—”
“Then I will.”
and.
“Did I mention Hwasan and Jongnam?”
next moment.
“Then bring all the best medicines they have.”
“?”
“If it was that simple, I should have retrieved it a long time ago.”
“Sashimi times? What the hell is that… what the hell are you talking about?”
“So, to put it simply, this is it.”
As it was, I smiled and looked at Snow White, and cast a black magic spell with my body magic.
【The vortex that folds in】
Exactly…
“It means that two of the old file rooms will disappear within today.”
A technology that moves as if folding the space itself that only I can handle here.
“With all the elixir that it contained.”
In an instant, it was a space leap that could go to one of the old file rooms.
