Chapter 246

##246fury. Spirit hunting practice (1)

The students who spotted the white water dragon from afar opened their eyes and each screamed..

“I'm a teacher-!”

“Hey, you're a real teacher.?”

“Look! You said I would be fine!”

The expressions of the students who were dying from the forced march brightened, and they all used their last strength to perform a light attack. It felt like puppies that had met their owners for the first time in a long time were running, wagging their tails eagerly..

whirring!

Hwiik!

After a while, the first thing to arrive was Heonwon River..

However, when Heonwon-gang arrived in front of Baek Su-ryong, he paused for a moment and scanned Baek Su-ryong’s entire body with suspicious eyes..

“……You are really a teacher?”

“What are you talking about??”

“I'm so fine…….”

“I'm dying!”

Then, isn't he just randomly picking out the Tao and wielding it? Even the momentum was quite sharp..

nettle liquid!

Baek Su-ryong, who saw the blade flying towards him, opened his mouth in bewilderment..

‘Is this crazy??’

Meanwhile, I liked the fact that Heonwon-gang's method of drawing became sharper than before. Because it was proof that I had not neglected my training..

Of course, it was still too much for him to touch the hem of his teacher's clothes..

whirring!

Baeksuryong, who easily avoided Heonwongang's attack, went behind his disciple and hit the top of his head with the black dragon he had already taken out..

Taaak!

“Kuek!”

Heonwon- gang, who was lying on the floor, raised his head, covering the top of his head with both hands. Although it was quite painful, there were tears in my eyes, but it felt like I was finally meeting Baek Soo-ryong again..

“Okay. This tingling sensation on the top of my head... … . Baek Soo-ryong’s spicy flavor is certain.…….”

“what.”

Baek Soo-ryong sighed and shook his head. Hey, is this weird guy Wongang just a day or two?.

Meanwhile, other disciples also arrived and surrounded Baeksu-ryong..

“teacher!”

“It's okay?”

“I was worried. It is said that a blood religion suddenly attacked the Namgung family.…….”

“There is no cut anywhere.?”

These were the words of Wi Ji-cheon, Yeo-min, Geo Sang-woong, and Ya Su-hyeok, in order..

Everyone seemed very worried that Baek Soo-ryong might get hurt..

“As you can see, it's fine..”

Baek Soo-ryong stroked the guys' heads as much as he felt happy. Geo Sang-woong and Ya Soo-hyuk were so tall that they only had to tap each other on the shoulder..

Then suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and Baek Soo-ryong's expression hardened..

“you… … What happened to class and how did you end up here? If you want to get out of Cheonmuje, you have to count the number of days of attendance.?”

“Class is a problem now?”

“With the news that the blood religion attacked the Namgung family, the Murim Alliance and academic views turned upside down.!”

“All classes are currently closed indefinitely..”

“I just can't stay there…….”

Baek Soo-ryong was out of his mind, surrounded by disciples chattering like sparrows. He sighed and calmed his disciples down..

“Speak one by one. one by one.”

At that time, Heonwon-gang stood up groaning in the corner, stuck out his mouth and grumbled softly..

“shit. Taking advantage of my injury, I tried to give it a shot this time.…….”

Heon Won-gang may have thought that Baek Soo-ryong couldn't hear, but his teacher was a person who could easily understand his swearing even in the presence of many people..

“What man?”

“Inhale!”

Heonwon- gang, who had covered his mouth belatedly, tried to get out, but at that moment, Baeksu-ryong’s new form dispersed like smoke and appeared in front of Heonwon-gang..

shit! It's faster than before!

Baek Soo-ryong walked toward the Heonwon River screaming inside..

“For some reason, he came running towards me with foam at the mouth. You didn't come to save me, you came to hit me, that's it.?”

“Well, that's not it... … . Of course, finding a teacher comes first... … . It's okay to hit me…….”

“Wongang. Please know that today is your memorial day..”

“Ouch! It hurts! It really hurts!”

Baek Soo-ryong wrapped one arm around Heonwon-gang’s neck, and with his other arm, he clenched his fist and pressed Heonwon-gang’s forehead..

As soon as they met, the teacher and student bickered, and the instructors and students who were watching burst out laughing at the same time..

Baeksu-ryong, who had been tormenting Heonwon-gang for a while, soon laughed and let go of his disciple..

‘You're back.’

Although I haven't arrived at the Blue Dragon Science Museum yet, I somehow felt like I was home..

* * *

“Huh…….”

Noh could not hide his bitter expression..

The time when all the tired students fell asleep.

The three people who left the Cheongryong Academic Hall heard directly from Namgungsu about what happened at the Namgung family..

crackle, crackle.

Mr. Roh looked at the burning bonfire and sighed softly..

“I really don't know what's inside people. Even though I've known that friend for decades.…….”

Noh Gunsang was a long-time friend of Changcheon Sword King Namgung Jehak..

He was also a comrade who participated in the war against blood religion in the past..

However, I never dreamed that King Changcheon had committed a terrible act that he should never have done as a member of the martial arts faction..

Who knew?.

The King of Changcheon Sword, who is respected as the Ten Lords of Wulin and the head of the world's greatest family, must have done something no different from the Madou of the Four Sects behind his back..

After sorting out his bitter feelings, Noh Gun-sang spoke to Namgung-su..

“Thank you for being honest. It must not have been easy to talk about the family's wealth..”

“…… It will be revealed anyway. However, it seems that the official announcement from the main family will take a little more time..”

Noh Gunsang nodded..

“I understand. No matter where I go, I won't talk about what I heard today. You guys will do the same.?”

“Of course.”

“……That's right.”

Deputy Director Kwak Cheol-woo and Student Director Mae Geuk-ryeom, who were listening together, nodded with solemn expressions..

Since they were three people who lived in the same era as the Changcheon Sword King, they all looked very shocked..

In a gloomy mood, Noh tried to change the topic..

“Let's stop talking about this now. Anyway, aren't you glad that you guys returned safely? and…….”

Noh's deep gaze turned towards Baek Soo-ryong..

The veterans of the squadron couldn't help but be surprised to see this young man's prayers changing every time he saw them..

“Teacher Baek. But how strong do you want to be??”

“There was a chance.”

“I think I heard something similar a while ago.?”

“well. It looks like I accumulated a lot of virtue in my past life..”

Baek Soo-ryong scratched his head and answered, and Noh Gun-sang burst out laughing..

“Hehehe!”

If he had been a vigorous young man, Noh might have felt jealous of Baek Soo-ryong, who was growing stronger at an alarming rate..

Of course that wasn't the case now..

I was at an age where I knew that training martial arts was ultimately a fight against oneself, and that no matter how talented one was, only a prepared martial artist could accept it..

However, as a senior, Noh Gun-sang wanted to give some advice..

“It's a good thing that your skills become deeper. But you also have to have a body that matches it..”

Usually, as external and internal skills harmonized over a long period of time, martial arts achievements also increased..

However, Baeksu-ryong was getting stronger too quickly, and there was not enough time to train his body compared to his deepened internal strength..

At least I was able to maintain my balance by practicing the Noknim Eighteen Styles, the best external technique in the world, but even that was on a pretty dangerous border right now..

Noh Kun-sang advised Baek Soo-ryong in a gentle tone..

“Of course you know that. But for some reason, you seem impatient right now. Even though I learned a lot of martial arts at that age..”

“…….”

“Don't be too hasty. Anything that leans to one side is bound to fall. It can be very dangerous, especially if you run as fast as you do..”

“Thanks for the advice.”

Baek Soo-ryong expressed his gratitude by taking the gun..

Of course, he knew his body condition better than anyone else..

However, as Noh said, it was not easy to give up impatience..

‘You never know when and in what form blood religion will appear again..’

By attacking the Namgung family, the blood religion showed their will..

It showed a power beyond imagination and re-engraved the fear of blood religion that the martial arts community had forgotten..

If Baeksu-ryong had not stepped in to stop it, much greater chaos would have struck Wurim than it is now..

‘this is just the beginning.’

I don't know when that will happen, but the blood religion will move again in some way..

Baek Soo-ryong wanted to stop the blood religion..

In the end, he wanted revenge for his masters who died without being able to escape the cult, and he wanted to protect the happiness in everyday life that he had finally found..

To do that, I needed to become even stronger..

The reason he seemed impatient is probably because he was unable to hide his compulsion..

‘Let's not be too hasty.’

Nothing will change if you rush.

I thought I knew better than anyone else, but I was very grateful to Noh Gun-sang for pointing it out to me..

Baek Soo-ryong once again expressed his gratitude to Noh Gun-sang..

“I will deeply engrave the teachings.”

“Heh heh. Giving lessons to a man who might become the best expert in the world in the future. I am all honored.”

Then Mae Geuk-ryeom frowned and joined the conversation..

“Cross-reference. I'm worried that this guy might become arrogant because of the excessive praise..”

“Heh heh. Does Geomtooth's grandson have the personality to become arrogant when praised? If you are already confident, your nose should be in the sky.?”

“That's right.…….”

The two old men exchanged words that I couldn't tell if Baek Su-ryong was praising or swearing..

At that time, Namgungsu, who was quietly listening, asked a question..

“How about the academy??”

“I was literally shocked..”

The appearance of a blood religion was an event that made the entire martial arts world nervous..

The rumor was just now spreading through the martial arts world. The Murim League contacted not only all the clans and families belonging to the group, but also the Five University Colleges..

“An official letter has arrived from the Murim Alliance. Outdoor classes were banned for a while, and they asked for cooperation in hunting down any instructors or students who might be members of a blood cult..”

Isn’t Poong Jin-ho trembling with fear right now?.

Baek Soo-ryong thought about it for a moment..

“There are quite a few cases where children are brought back to their home. For one reason or another, classes probably won't go well for a while..”

I think it will stay like this for ten days at the shortest, or about a month at the longest... … . Noh sighed softly and muttered..

Namgungsu asked with his eyebrows deeply drawn together..

“So, could the Cheonmu Festival be canceled this year??”

“Probably not..”

Baek Soo-ryong's expression hardened at that question, but fortunately, Noh Gun-sang shook his head..

“Even if the Murim Lord wanted it, the Lord of Heavenly Arms would not allow it..”

The head of Cheonmuhak had as much authority as the Murim lord..

Most of the masters currently sitting in important positions in the Murim Alliance were his students..

Maegeukryeom also seemed to share the same thoughts as Noh Gunsang..

“I don't know if an all-out war breaks out with the blood religion, but as long as it's not that bad, the Emperor of Heavenly Wu will proceed as planned..”

Deputy Director Kwak Cheol-yong also nodded and said..

“Rather, he is someone who will proceed with pride. Don’t you hate giving in to Safa’s threats more than anyone else?.”

The other two nodded in agreement..

The Emperor of Heavenly Arms is not canceled just because blood religion has reappeared..

It was a fortunate event for the Cheongryong Academy instructors who had put their lives on the line this year..

“It's me, Mr. Gwanju..”

Baek Soo-ryong, who was quietly listening to the instructors' conversation, joined the conversation..

“Can I come back a little later??”

“Suddenly??”

“yes. Unless you are in a situation where you will be able to attend classes properly even if you return anyway.…….”

Baek Su-ryong turned his head and looked at his disciples who were sleeping soundly. Sigh. A meaningful smile appeared on his lips..

“While I'm out, I'm going to give the kids some training..”

“What is water lily? Where are you talking about??”

Mr. Roh asked as if he was curious. Then, I saw Baeksu-ryong's gaze heading in one direction, and I followed that gaze..

At the end of the gaze was the area around Mt. Cheonju, which had been devastated by the fierce battle between the two world-class experts..

“I'd like to take you to the mountains..”

“mountain?”

-Occasionally, if the spiritual mountain is destroyed due to a natural disaster, etc..

Baek Soo-ryong recalled a story Meng Hao-euk told him in the past..

-Spiritual creatures that had been quietly hiding in the mountains begin to migrate in search of a new home..

Among the stories of Nokrimtuwang, who lived all his life traveling through all kinds of mountains, this is quite an interesting story..

- Usually, they are so good at hiding their presence that even I can't find them, but this time, they have no choice but to move around, so it's much easier to find them..

I can't believe this memory came to mind at this very moment..

I had no choice but to call it luck..

Of course, it might not be everyone's luck..

“I'm going to give the kids some field experience and try to catch some spiritual creatures if I can..”

“Heh heh! A spirit creature? That sounds fun..”

He seemed to think it was a joke..

Catching a spirit creature is not as easy as it sounds..

Meeting a spirit creature in the mountains was a coincidence in itself..

Noh Gun-sang thought for a moment and then nodded..

“Good. Permission will be granted at the discretion of the governor. However, it would be difficult to keep it too long. Please return within 15 days at the latest. I think we can resume classes normally by then..”

“thank you.”

Baek Soo-ryong, who received permission from the governor, smiled broadly and took the gun..

“But, shouldn’t students also ask their doctor??”

“no way. I'm sleeping soundly. What are you doing? When you wake up tomorrow, you just need to slowly ‘persuade’.”

“……Well, you figure it out..”

In this way, the fate of students was decided through the neglect of academic government..

-Ah, sometimes. There are cases where spirit creatures that lose their home overnight become monsters..

Perhaps because they were very tired that day, all the students had nightmares..
