Chapter 225
##225fury. The secret of the Namgung family (3)
next day.
New instructors gathered at the main training hall with anxious expressions from early morning..
It was due to an intruder disturbance in the Namgung family that occurred in the early morning..
“Did you hear that an intruder came into Cheonidang??”
“What kind of crazy person is this? Are you thinking of hiding in the Namgung family?.”
“……Can I buy it??”
“I think it's a thief who came to steal the treasure. perhaps…….”
Before morning training begins.
The instructors gathered in groups of twos and threes and chatted a lot..
Most of them had not been able to sleep even a wink since the commotion broke out in the early morning..
“Hmm. Thanks to you, I couldn't sleep at all..”
“It seems like the Changcheon Sword King himself chased after the intruders.…….”
“I heard it too. The Lion's Roar was so terrifying that it made all my bones tingle..”
The instructors trembled as they remembered the sound of the Changcheon Sword King's Lion's Roar ringing at dawn..
Early this morning, thunder and lightning suddenly struck from the northern sky..
Everyone knew that it was not a natural phenomenon..
After a while the thunder and lightning disappeared, but no one knew what happened after that..
“Was the culprit caught? It seems like the critics don't know..”
“Judging by the fact that the dog stopped barking in the morning, it seems like they caught it.…….”
“It's probably already been decapitated. The Sword King of Changcheon chased after him himself, so there was no way he could escape..”
“I wish someone could tell me clearly…….”
Last night's incident left the Namgung family in disarray, as if a beehive had been infested..
Everyone's faces were filled with worry, wondering if the training for new instructors would be cancelled..
It was at that time that Baeksu-ryong and Blue Dragon Academy instructors appeared at the grand banquet hall..
“Hmm~”
Sima Ying's sharp gaze flew towards Baek Su-ryong, who was walking while yawning..
It wasn't just Sima Ying..
The other academy instructors, who had been brutally beaten by Baek Soo-ryong the previous day, and who had been stabbed in the back by the Cheongryong academy instructors, burned up their fighting spirit..
Despite the stares that made his skin tingle, Baek Soo-ryong still had a sleepy expression..
I actually couldn't sleep at all.
“I'm full of energy since morning. I guess everyone slept well?”
“That bastard…….”
“Oh really!”
Now, Baek Soo-ryong has reached the point where he can annoy others with just a few words..
At the end of the Cheongryong Academy instructors, all new instructors gathered at the main training hall..
In fact, it wasn't the power source..
‘No one questions Zhongliyan..’
Although Zhongliyeon from Xuanmuhakwan has not yet arrived, no instructor other than Baek Soo-ryong found that fact strange..
Although her presence was very minimal to begin with, everyone was acting as if they had forgotten about her..
‘Is this also a drinking method??’
It felt like I had a dream last night.
But it wasn't a dream.
Baek Soo-ryong met Hyeoncheon Shinnyeo and heard many stories, one of which was a prophecy that a disaster would come soon..
‘For now, let's watch the situation..’
Baek Soo-ryong no longer cared about Zong Li-yeon, chatting with his classmates at the Blue Dragon School and waiting for the ambassadors to arrive..
A few minutes later than the scheduled time, Manbakja appeared alone in the grand performance hall..
The new instructors stopped chatting and stared at him..
“Clue. Everyone looks so curious.”
Manbakja walked shakily, shaking his abnormally large head from side to side, and smiled, showing his yellow teeth..
“As you may know, there was a somewhat unpleasant incident at Namgung House last night. There was an intruder. However, the Changcheon Sword King personally killed him..”
Upon hearing that the Changcheon Sword King had killed the intruder, the instructors shouted, “Oh!” An exclamation of exclamation burst out..
After looking around at the instructors, Manbakja spoke..
“However, since the issue is such a serious issue, it seems that the Namgung family hastily held a meeting of the head of the family. The Sword King of Changcheon also attended the meeting. They said it would be quite long..”
The instructors kept talking about how fortunate they were to catch the intruder and that they must reveal who was behind it..
“Therefore, today we will only provide theory training all day, without practical training in the afternoon..”
The expressions of instructors who were weak in theory, including Dang Baek-ho of Baekho School and Kwak Doo-yong of Blue Dragon School, turned pale..
The man of great pleasure enjoyed the sight, and his eyes lit up..
“Today we will study about outer space theory..”
His gaze scanned the instructors and finally stopped on Baek Soo-ryong..
‘Ugly guy.’
He was planning to make up for the embarrassment suffered by Baek Soo-ryong in the last lecture..
Man-Bak-ja started giving a long speech..
“As time goes by, the omnipotence of internal skills is getting worse, and the culture of neglecting external skills is also getting worse. While internal skills can be built up quickly with elixirs or excellent mental techniques, external skills can be achieved without constant effort..”
Manpakja looked disapprovingly at Baeksuryong's sculpted face and somewhat baggy military uniform..
“Moreover, as men also began to take interest in improving their appearance, they began to prefer smooth, small muscles instead of bulky ones..”
Manbakja guessed that Baek Soo-ryong gained talent at a young age and gained tremendous inner strength to become a master..
So, it led to the judgment that the level of external attack would be low compared to internal strength..
“For trees to grow well, the soil must be fertile and hard. For a martial artist, external air is soil. If the soil is not good, the roots will not be able to establish themselves properly and will eventually wither..”
Manbakja had his teaching assistants hand out textbooks to the instructors one by one..
“Throughout my life, I have dissected more than a dozen unmanned corpses and examined their muscles and bodies. So, I wrote this book with what I realized. This is the revised version that came out this year..”
『The essence of external work』
New instructors who received the book were happy as if they had acquired a treasure..
“That's all I heard…….”
“The essence of external work!”
“I heard that saving is like picking stars in the sky.…….”
Everyone looked at the book and the 10,000 beats alternately with expressions of emotion..
Manpakja watched the scene happily, but then his expression crumpled when he saw Baek Soo-ryong flipping through the book with a sour expression on his face..
‘Me, that obnoxious guy!’
He was a guy I didn't like from start to finish..
From outstanding martial arts skills to a handsome face.
I was planning on humiliating you in this lecture..
“This book will be used as a textbook to explain external training from a theoretical aspect..”
The explanation of the 10,000 beats continued at length..
“From now on, I will give you a lesson, so read and study up to the first chapter. Afterwards, we will take a brief exam and proceed with the lecture. Points are deducted for those who do not pass the test..”
After finishing speaking, Manpakja looked intently at Baeksuryong. The look in his eyes said, if you're going to try something, give it a try..
‘I really…….’
Baek Soo-ryong laughed in bewilderment at those provocative eyes..
He said he would teach external skills to someone who has learned the external skills of King Green Forest..
Just like the last lecture, at this point I was wondering if I was deliberately giving an easy lecture to myself..
Baek Soo-ryong read through the book written by Manbaekja in less than half an hour..
And I raised my hand.
“I've read everything. Can I take the test first??”
“Okay!”
* * *
Manbakja was speechless after seeing the test paper submitted by Baek Soo-ryong..
“…….”
“…….”
Not only the answer to the problem, but also your own interpretation and corrections added to it..
It was at a level where I could immediately refer to this answer sheet and submit a revised version..
In the end, Manbakja had no choice but to admit this time too..
“……You have quite a bit of knowledge about external engineering..”
“When I first applied to Cheongryong Academic Center, I applied to be an external engineering instructor..”
Manpakja looked at Baek Soo-ryong with an expression like, ‘Why are there all these guys?’ and then said bluntly:.
“shit. Perfect score.”
Baek Soo-ryong asked as if he had been waiting for those words..
“I'm sorry, but can I rest at your accommodation for a while until the exam is over? I couldn't sleep at all last night..”
“what?”
Manbakja, who was looking at Baek Su-ryong with an expression of bewilderment for a moment, clicked his tongue..
“Do whatever you want.”
“thank you.”
Permission was granted to the 10,000-pounder. Baek Soo-ryong, who took the gun, turned around and headed toward his dormitory..
But I really didn't intend to rest at the hotel..
‘I earned about half a hour’s worth. There is enough time to take a quick look around..’
Baek Su-ryong’s steps became faster..
There was a place I needed to check out ASAP..
It was then. Suddenly, Manpakja called Baeksuryong from behind..
“Teacher Baek Soo-ryong.”
“yes?”
Are they really trying to suddenly change their mind and stop me from going??
Manbakja said with a disapproving expression..
“You no longer need to participate in today's class. Let's go to the hotel and just rest.”
Manbakja muttered, “If I come back, it will only disturb the class atmosphere,” and waved his hand..
“thank you!”
Baek Soo-ryong grinned and left the place with a light pace..
Many instructors looked at his back with envious expressions..

Namgung Family Tomb).
This was a shrine where the Namgung family held memorial tablets for their ancestors and held ancestral rites..
The more prestigious a family is, the more its power is represented by the size of the family tomb, and the Namgung family's family tomb was so large that it could be considered the royal tomb..
‘Fortunately, the alert isn't too severe..’
Baek Su-ryong first inspected the Namgung family tomb from afar..
Namgung House is still in disarray due to the commotion of the previous day..
But the boundaries here have not increased significantly..
This was because security was strengthened in areas where there were treasures, information, and military secrets that intruders could target..
‘Is there enough room for me?.’
Slurp.
Baek Su-ryong, who hid in the Namgung family tomb, expanded his energy and activated his Blood Demon Eye..
The memorial tablets of past heads of the Namgung family and masters who brought honor to the world of martial arts were enshrined here..
Baek Soo-ryong remembered the words of Hyeoncheon Shinnyeo..
-Soon, a great disaster will strike the Namgung family..
-Depending on your choices, this disaster can be a great disaster, or it can also be a blessing..
He said that disaster would come to the Namgung family and that he would have to make a choice..
But that alone was too little information..
Hyeoncheon Shinnyeo didn't say anything more, but fortunately, she left a clue for Baeksu-ryong to find it for himself..
- A shrine that enshrines the ancestors of the Namgung family. Meanwhile, take a look there. there will be what you are looking for.
Baek Soo-ryong scanned the Namgung family tomb and entered more and more..
And when we almost reached the end,
‘Magi!’
I discovered a very faint trace of magical energy that I would have missed if I had not activated the Blood Demon Eye..
The White Water Dragon immediately headed to the place where the demonic energy was flowing..
It was an abandoned well.
It was covered with large, flat stones, and it looked like it had not been used for a while as the water had dried completely..
Kugu Palace……!
Baeksu-ryong moved the stone covering the well aside just enough for a person to enter..
When I looked down the well, there was only black darkness..
“This is it.”
Baeksuryong looked inside for a moment and then slowly climbed down the wall of the well..
Then, I lifted the stone from the inside and moved it back to its original position, waited until my eyes got used to the darkness, and then jumped down..
Cooung!
The floor was deep. There seemed to be at least ten pages. Baek Soo-ryong groped the wall in the dark to find Gong Gi-jin-sik..
It didn't take long. With Baek Soo-ryong's keen eye added to his knowledge of organ oscillations, he was able to find it quickly..
The problem was elsewhere.
“this… … It's broken?”
Self-talk filled with absurdity echoed in the darkness..
The organ system leading into the secret passageway was damaged..
Baek Soo-ryong thought about it for a while and decided to break down the organ and enter..
‘Sound must not leak outside.’
Baek Soo-ryong placed his palms on the stone wall and concentrated on injecting energy..
The stone wall vibrated, and one by one, the old stone walls were pushed backwards and fell away..
After a while, a space was created where one person could enter and exit..
“Phew.”
Baek Soo-ryong took a moment to catch his breath and went inside..
The narrow, dark passage was covered in moss and full of bugs..
There was only a hole in the ceiling, where night wine was expected to have been embedded..
“Cough! Looks like you haven't maintained it at all..”
A long, narrow passage led underground. Baek Soo-ryong went deeper and deeper inside, being careful of possible engine jinsing..
How far did it go down??
Each day? This angle?
When my sense of time became slightly blurred, the narrow passage ended and a wide space appeared..
Baek Soo-ryong let out the breath he had been holding..
“Phew. This is…….”
Baek Soo-ryong looked around for a moment and his eyes stopped on one place..
I found an old signboard..
At that moment, Baek Soo-ryong stopped as if he were nailed to the spot..
<Blood Demon Church Anhui Branch>
The signboard, written in ominous red handwriting that looked as if it had been written in blood, was asleep with dust accumulating on it..
