Chapter 182

Episode 182: I have a question!

It might be the same for the Invincible Horse, but I didn’t know that either.

I never thought I would say something like this to Gwonma. But the moment I heard the horse saying that he would collapse the cliff with one blow, something burned in my heart.

It was a strong desire to throw my fists in front of his impossible challenge.

The horse’s gaze, which was staring into my eyes, turned to my hand.

“With those baby hands?”

Ah, the day will come when my hands will become baby hands.

“Compared to Master Kwon, he is very small and cute, but in the human world, he is also a gifted hand.”

“Stop talking nonsense and go back.”

With a cold wind blowing, the horse left the place.

I looked up at the cliff again.

If a fist comes flying that can destroy this in one hit, will the self-defense machine be able to withstand it?

My clenched fists gained strength.

That afternoon, I visited my father and played baduk for the first time in a long time.

The refreshing sound of the baduk stones being released one move at a time calmed my mind. Maybe the reason I feel so comfortable playing baduk with my father is because it resembles competitive martial arts. This is because once you get on the non-stage or start playing baduk, there is no need to say anything to your opponent.

“I lost.”

In the last game we played, we won by two houses, but today we finally lost by six houses. When I saw the smile that couldn’t be hidden on my father’s lips, I felt like I couldn’t stop him. He was a father who could not live with losing, whether it was baduk or martial arts.

“When you have time, learn some baduk from Master Sima.”

“I guess so.”

“Why did you come today?”

My father had already noticed. I came here because I had business to do.

“Do you get the right feeling when you see a person?”

“You made a particularly hasty move today. “Underwaters always get marks.”

“Sewage! “I hope you win for the first time today.”

I felt good inside. Because it meant that my father cared about my heart while playing baduk.

“There is something I would like to get permission from my father for.”

“What?”

“I would like to learn fighting skills from a fighting horse. Please allow it.”

As if he had expected it, my father showed no particular reaction.

“If you want to learn, you can learn. Why do you need my permission?”

“Of course we have to talk about it and learn from it. “I also have to get my father’s permission.”

“What if I don’t give permission?”

“We have to work harder to get permission.”

I told my father honestly how I felt.

“At first, I had great feelings about Seongdonggyeokseo (聲東擊西). I was trying to find out what would happen to my brother if I beat the horse. But today, Gwonma said that. “His goal is to collapse the cliff with one blow.”

It seems that my father knew the goal. He wasn’t surprised at all by what I said.

“Those words broke my guard, not the cliff. “As I thought it was cool, I also wanted to knock down the cliff.”

“It’s your chronic weakness. “A naive feeling that is just right to die for.”

When he first said that, he said, ‘It’s just a cheap sentiment that’s worth dying for.’ Now the cheapness is out and naivety has taken its place. That’s exactly how close I became to my father.

“Sometimes that naivety can be an advantage. “There are some mazons that I gained thanks to that.”

“Get it? “Do you really think the Mazons are on your side?”

My father really didn’t trust anyone. Perhaps my father’s values are essential for the leader of the church.

“I think there is no absolute heart in the world except a parent’s heart for their child. However, we are trying not to create a situation where the Mazons’ minds will change.”

It is rare for a person to suddenly change their mind in life. Most people change because circumstances change.

“Do you know that? If you become entangled with martial arts and martial arts, there will definitely come a moment when you have to stick with him. Because I’m the type of person who can never live with losing. “Then the results may be different from your intentions.”

It was something I could say because I knew Gwonma’s personality well. This means that even if you try to become friends, your relationship may become worse.

“What happens if I win?”

“His target will be you, not the cliff.”

Everyone had their left foot completely fixed, but I thought it would be more effective to move it slightly.

I felt a commotion around me. Can I do this? How dare you ask a question? How will Gwonma come out? Could it be that we are all falling for no reason? I felt these arrogant emotions.

But unexpectedly, Gwonma answered the question without any hesitation.

“If your body doesn’t shake when you turn the last turn, you don’t have to restrict your left foot.”

In response to Gwonma’s clear answer, I tried to exercise herbivory as he instructed.

The left foot moved to the point where it lifted slightly, but that was in order to link up the next herbivore as quickly as possible. Now I’m practicing by cutting off each movement, but in practice, continuous movement was important.

For the first time, the eyes of the Tekkens turned to me. They didn’t know yet. What they are seeing now is not a change in herbivory. It is a change in the practice of Dong Kwon Gate that has been established for a long time.

I visited the training center the next day and the day after that.

I didn’t intentionally ask questions for the sake of asking questions. I just asked questions that I was really curious about, and when I asked questions, the Tekkens listened. It was also like I was asking questions on their behalf that they themselves were curious about but did not dare to ask. After training, I had Tekkens greeting me.

After five days, I was able to use the Tekken technique with the most proper posture among those who were learning martial arts there. There were even people who asked me how to do the movements when they finished training.

It was the seventh day.

Even though formal training was over, I remained alone and continued training. I was falling into a new world led by martial arts. Regardless of the current situation, learning martial arts itself was fun.

I felt that the horse was watching me, but I paid no attention and focused on herbivory. I only focused on my outstretched fist.

What must be loaded into this fist to collapse the cliff?

Eventually, Gwonma, who was watching, opened his mouth.

“What are we going to do?”

“Didn’t you tell Master Kwon that you wanted to learn martial arts?”

“Do you really want to become my disciple?”

“If you accept it.”

Gwonma was startled. This is because the son of the Heavenly Demon has never become a disciple of the Majon.

“Are you serious?”

“Yes, I am serious. “I already got permission from my father.”

“The religious leader gave permission?”

“You did it.”

It was the moment when Gwonma realized that my determination was no joke.

“Do you know what kind of person I am and do this?”

“I don’t know. However, the moment you said that your goal is to collapse the cliff, I think I fell in love with you.”

Half sincerity and half flattery were being displayed.

“Do you think that kind of modification will work? If this is the case, do you think I will support you as my successor?”

“It’s okay if you don’t. No, don’t do it. I don’t know if you’ve heard the rumors, but my goal is to complete this successor selection without bloodshed between brothers. So, I feel reassured that my brother has Madam Kwon. “Madam Kwon will prevent my brother from crossing the line.”

“Why do you think I’m stopping you?”

“Because you are the one trying to collapse a cliff with your bare fists. “You will know very well that the moment a dirty plot or scheme is grasped in your fist, you will never be able to collapse the cliff.”

“!”

“I think the only person who can beat up my brother or me who is going crazy over the heir dispute is Madam Kwon. If my brother and I try to cross the line, please stop us. “Please hit me mercilessly with that fist.”

I did not avoid those disapproving and harsh gazes directed at me. Are you crazy about martial arts? If I’m crazy about something and only pursue one path, I’m probably just as good as you.

Next moment!

The horse’s big fist was in front of my face.

I threw my fist out so quickly, but there wasn’t even a sound of wind. The fist was in front of the face, as if the fist had been here in the first place.

The next thing that came out was the sound.

Huaaaaaaaa!

I thought I could hear a huge wind noise coming from behind.

Wow!

There was a large hole in the fence far behind me.

Surprisingly, my face was left intact when the fist stopped, and the back was completely blown away. It was truly an amazing and noble technique.

The horse stared coldly at me, not even blinking at the fist that flew at me, and then turned around and walked away without saying a word.

I stood there and looked at the back of me walking away.

The more you are like this, the more intensely the flame in my heart will burn.

The horse stopped at the end of the road.

“Starting tomorrow, come to the Cheongquan training center.”
