Vol 2 Chapter 18. This is Nullllll and Vooooid! (3)
Thus, right now.
The Sect Leader gazed steadily at Yun Gi kneeling in front of him.
Although the elders were fiercely debating whether to punish him or to be lenient since he carried out chivalry, in fact, that was not important.
“First-generation disciple Yun Gi, raise your head.”
“Yes.”
“Despite having no order from the sect, you arbitrarily led your junior brothers and ran to Tianshui County. Do you admit it?”
“Yes. This disciple admits it.”
“Right. Then….”
“…….”
“Why did you just co back?”
“…….”
“Given your personality, you wouldn't have just co back because you got scared in the middle, so what happened? Speak in detail.”
At the Sect Leader’s order, Yun Gi carefully continued his words.
“When I arrived at Tianshui County….”
Yun Gi conveyed exactly what he saw and heard.
And hearing Yun Gi’s explanation, the faces of the elders changed mont by mont.
“Twin Dragon Sect?”
“Was there such a place?”
“I have heard of it. But it never really stood out….”
Most of the elders showed a reaction of unfamiliarity to the na Twin Dragon Sect.
One of the elders said.
“Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon? Have any of you heard of him?”
“I am hearing it for the first ti.”
“Seems to be a figure from quite a long ti ago.”
“Hoho…. I have no idea what kind of figure he is.”
Just like the Twin Dragon Sect, Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon was also an unfamiliar na to them. Seeing such elders, Yun Gi hesitated whether to say the words he couldn't say.
[Oho, you don't know? He fought a duel with your Kongtong Sect Sect Leader and won overwhelmingly? You really don't know?]
The information that Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon fought a duel with the Kongtong Sect Sect Leader and won.
‘There is no need to say that much.’
If it is true, it is the sect’s sha, and if it is false, it is just the opponent’s bluff.
Either way, there was no good in ntioning it.
However, among them, there was exactly one person whose face was stiff and hard.
‘Descendant of Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon….’
The Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect.
Only Demon Subduing Divine Sword Jeong Seon’s face was different.
Being the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect, he had to know both the light and shadow of the sect.
Although records of Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon were thoroughly erased in the history of the Jianghu, information passed down orally in the Kongtong Sect, which was based in the sa region, could not be erased.
‘Is he talking about that Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon?’
A strategist of hundred battles and hundred victories.
The hero who perford most dazzlingly in the Great War between Good and Evil.
The figure closest to the World's Best.
If Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon had survived without dying at the Falling Phoenix Sect, he would have surely obtained the title of World's Best within 10 years.
That was the saying passed down in the Kongtong Sect.
The descendant of that Radiant Dragon Great Master appeared again in his generation.
“I want to see him in person once.”
As the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect and as a martial artist, he really wanted to et him once.
He will regret it….
* * *
The Twin Dragon Sect won against the Blood Saber Sect.
Those who knew what this ant knew.
That a powerful Orthodox sect had settled in this very Tianshui County.
This was a great benefit for the commoners living in Tianshui County.
The territory of an Orthodox sect and the territory of an Unorthodox sect.
From the perspective of commoners, it goes without saying where is better to live.
People flock to places good to live.
When people flock, money circulates and comrce becos active.
Consequently, the region develops.
So the people of Tianshui County welcod the resurrection of the Twin Dragon Sect.
Also, as the fact that the martial arts of the Twin Dragon Sect were powerful enough to defeat Blood Wave Saber Guest Ma Jae-ho beca known, applicants flocked in.
Among them were those who had joined before and left on their own feet. However….
[We will not open the doors for the ti being.]
At Sect Leader Go Seok-hyeon’s words, the hopeful applicants had to turn back with regret.
Among them, there were those who couldn't understand Sect Leader Go Seok-hyeon’s decision.
“No, you should row when the water cos in. Does it make sense not to open the doors now?”
“That’s what I’m saying. Doesn't a sect need numbers to function properly?”
“That’s my point.”
“To manage a territory, you need numbers.”
Conversely, there were those who nodded and supported Sect Leader Go Seok-hyeon’s decision.
“Right. Inner stability is important for a sect.”
“Hoho, Sect Leader Go is a deep person. He is trying to make the foundation stone solid rather than blindly increasing the scale.”
“You shouldn't build a castle on sand. Looking at the distant future, this is right.”
It is also important to solidify the inner stability of the sect first.
Because there are plenty of sects that disappear in a flash after blindly increasing only the scale.
Although there was room for debate, the residents of Tianshui County hoped the Twin Dragon Sect would firmly establish itself as an Orthodox sect protecting their ho.
But there was sothing they were mistaken about.
Sect Leader Go Seok-hyeon not opening the doors and accepting disciples is not to solidify inner stability.
The reason he chose this is….
* * *
“Bong-gong.”
“Kuhm….”
“Martial Nephew.”
“I tried to do well, you know.”
Grind.
Go Seok-hyeon gritted his teeth.
He pointed to the children lying down with his finger and said.
“Is this a sight to behold?”
There, over ten children were all lying on bedding and groaning.
Seeing them covered in acupuncture needles all over their bodies and moxibustion here and there, it seed they suffered severe injuries.
And it is correct.
All suffered severe injuries to their muscles and bones and were overworked to the point their qi and blood were twisted.
It happened under the pretext of training.
“Tsk, kids these days are too weak.”
“Bong-gong!”
“No, I really didn't make them do anything severe. Compared to rolling our knights in the old days….”
“Anyway, aren't the kids all ruined?”
“Kueuuung….”
Patrick had nothing to say this ti too.
As a result, this happened due to his miscalculation.
‘Damn, the density of qi in the Central Plains is too low.’
In the case of knights in the Schneider fiefdom, even if Patrick pushed them harder, after doing energy circulation once in the evening, they appeared fresh (by Patrick’s standards) the next morning.
But the density of qi in the Central Plains was too low.
Even if the kids did energy circulation, the effect didn't co out as much as in the Continent of Pangemonia.
As a result, this mishap occurred.
“Kue… Kueueueuk….”
“U… Uugh….”
“Ah… Aaaah…. Father, you ca to take . I missed you.”
Watching the figures of children lying on sickbeds groaning in pain, Patrick also felt his heart….
‘Eing, anyway, things these days are so weak.’
Are you human?
‘Anyway, this is a problem.’
He had to use so ans.
Realistically, what is possible right now is….
“Should I lower the training intensity?”
“No. No. Before dirt enters my eyes, I cannot overlook the tragic situation of lowering the training intensity.”
At Patrick’s strong tone, Persona nodded. And Mun Yul….
‘Dirt….’
He was feeling a serious desire to challenge.
In fact, it was Mun Yul who was repeating training of much higher intensity than the junior brothers.
If he has to throw dirt in Bong-gong’s eyes to lower the training intensity, he is willing to throw….
“Uh, wait.”
Mun Yul suddenly had a thought.
“Excuse , Bong-gong.”
“Why?”
“Aren't I receiving training of much higher intensity than the junior brothers?”
“Well, a liiitle?”
“But why am I fine?”
“…….”
“Perhaps I have a Heavenly Martial Body?”
“Talking about Heavenly Martial Body. Shall I make you a Heavenly Martial Corpse?”
“…….”
If it is that Bong-gong, he might actually do it.
Seeing Mun Yul with protruding lips, Patrick spoke as if looking at the most pathetic guy in the world.
Why is Mun Yul fine?
That is because Patrick is taking care of him thoroughly.
He personally perford Marrow Cleansing and Acupoint Opening on Mun Yul who went to bed after training and used Sephiros to recover his body.
The effect of Sephiros, which perfectly recovered even Patrick whose dantian was broken, perfectly recovered Mun Yul’s body.
Thanks to that, Mun Yul can walk around with limbs intact even while receiving Patrick’s hell training.
If not, he would have beco a cripple long ago.
“You, punk, you don't know what kind of mad miraculous encounter you are obtaining right now, do you? Huh?”
“Yeeees….”
Mun Yul perfectly expressed the intent of ‘Miraculous encounter my ass’ with just his expression.
‘Should I just smack that ungrateful bastard….’
The temper of the Double Dragon of the world has died down a lot.
If it were the Schneider Duchy, he would have planted that guy headfirst into the ground and just poured water until he beca a human.
Not a joke.
He actually did it once.
Against Elf warriors who really didn't listen….
‘Uh?’
I feel like a good idea just flashed through my mind….
“Anyway, know that!”
“Yes? What?”
“…….”
“Ah, that? That…. Yes. Understood. I will do so.”
“Bong-gong, listen to my words….”
“Of course, I took it to heart. Then Sona-ya, let’s talk for a mont.”
Before Sect Leader Go Seok-hyeon could interrogate further, Patrick took Persona and avoided the spot.
Patrick who ca outside said to Persona.
“What did the Sect Leader say?”
“You said you heard?”
“Did you believe that?”
“…….”
So shaless.
It’s truly an amazing talent to be this brazen when he hasn't done a single thing right.
Persona sighed and said.
“He said not to interfere with the disciples’ training until a new training thod is established.”
“What? I am the Bong-gong? Aren't I the highest person in the sect?”
“That is the Sect Leader.”
“…Ah, right. That was so.”
Originally, the position of Bong-gong itself feels a bit ambiguous. The hierarchy within the sect can stop at just a guest, and sotis it can have the authority of a Supre Sect Elder.
However, authority is just authority.
One can hope for respect, but one does not have the authority to forcibly twist the norms of the sect.
That is only possible for the Sect Leader.
As long as Patrick decided to acknowledge and respect Go Seok-hyeon as the Sect Leader, he had to respect the Sect Leader’s authority.
“Tsk, it ans I have to change the training thod a little.”
“Shall we lower the training intensity?”
“Mmm…. In the worst case, that is one of the options.”
He really didn't want to do that if possible.
This wasn't just insisting, but because it was really necessary.
Basically, the Jianghu is a harsh place.
A martial artist’s life is such that one doesn't know when or where it will end, to the extent of expressing it as walking on knives.
Unluckily, one might have to fight a terrifying master, or fall into a trap or sneak attack.
In such nurous crises, what absolutely increases the survival rate is ultimately only skill.
‘But tell to lower the training intensity? It won't do.’
To the contemplating Patrick, Persona said.
“First, I think it would be good to find a new training instructor.”
“Hmm? Why when I am here?”
Because you are here.
Persona sighed deeply and said.
“Master, you have to acknowledge what needs to be acknowledged. Our teaching thod is too violent.”
“Kueuuung….”
Patrick frowned.
In fact, the oldest child taken in from the slums was at most thirteen.
Even then, because they couldn't eat properly, their physique looked younger than their age.
Teaching such children by grilling them as if teaching fully grown knights, it was natural that their bodies couldn't endure.
And since what Persona learned was also Patrick-style training, she doesn't know other thods. In the end….
“We need soone who can teach children professionally.”
“Right. Let’s say so. Actually, large sects have separate instructors teaching children.”
“…….”
“But where do we get that? Go to another sect and steal one?”
“Should summon.”
“Summon?”
“I told you before? That you can summon a person who has a connection with Master from the Continent of Pangemonia by consuming causality.”
“Ah, right. You said that?”
He had forgotten for a mont.
But originally, at the point of obtaining massive causality by defeating the Blood Saber Sect, he intended to summon soone.
“Wouldn't it be good if soone suitable for teaching children cos out by luck?”
“Oho, that’s not bad?”
Professors of the Academy.
Or if it’s those who have received professional education since childhood like Garcia of the Empire, they would know how to train young children.
Above all, even thinking simply, military power increases, so there is nothing to lose.
“Good, let’s summon right now. What should I do?”
“Since I have paths connected to both worlds, I will diate. Master just needs to pay the causality.”
“I don't know the complex stuff but good. Let’s do it.”
“Don't need to hear detailed explanation?”
“Just go for it first. Let’s goooo.”
Persona sighed and drew a magic circle on the floor with her mana.
Woooooong!
“Just enter inside that.”
“Right. Understood.”
As Patrick entered the magic circle, a ssage like a directive window popped up.
[Will you randomly summon a human from the Continent of Pangemonia? As a cost, 3,000 causality will be consud.]
“Why is it so expensive?”
“Even if you complain to ….”
“Tsk, taking a lot.”
At the more expensive price than thought, Patrick frowned.
But he wasn't one to get scared and back down here.
“Take it. Take it.”
As Patrick accepted, 3,000 causality drained out in a lump.
And simultaneously, the magic circle emitted light and opened a gate in the air.
Indeed, who will co out?
Patrick also looked at the gate slightly nervously. And there….
“Hahaha. Did you call ? Your liege’s loyal knight Oliver A has co no… Ugh!”
“Go in. Go back in. You bastard.”
“Wa… Wait… Kuweek. Don't step on .”
“Gooooo!”
Patrick tried to push him back over the gate by stepping on him forcefully, but it was useless.
Eventually, Oliver ca out completely and the gate closed.
Then Patrick shouted desperately.
“This is Nullllll and Vooooid!”
Oliver A.
He appeared in the Jianghu.
