Chapter 46
##46fury. do it here?
Namgungsu was busy blocking Myung Il-oh's constant attacks..
‘suddenly what!’
Something incomprehensible was happening before my eyes..
A new instructor applicant who could not even graze his own clothes was suddenly pushing himself with skills that seemed to have completely transformed him..
Ta-da-da-da-da-dak!
The wooden sword and wooden baton clashed one after another. From the moment Namgungsu's posture was disturbed, Myung Il-o launched wave after wave of attacks without even taking a breath..
‘Damn it…….’
Until then, I had competed over a hundred times and not even shed a drop of sweat, but now, after only about ten times, my back was soaked in cold sweat..
‘I can't back down any further than this..’
Gritting his teeth, Namgungsu forced himself to stay in place and swung his sword..
I only had to take a few steps back to catch my breath and fight back..
But Namgungsu couldn’t do that..
imaginary circle.
I never told anyone, but from the time I got on the off stage, I decided that the moment I left this circle, I would consider myself defeated..
“lower pressure!”
For the first time, cheers burst out of Namgungsu’s mouth..
Hwiik.
As his wooden sword drew a large, smooth circle, all of Myeong Il-oh's attacks, which had been pouring down like rain, bounced off the path..
Immediately, Myeong Il-oh hurriedly retreated back..
“Oh! As expected, Mr. Namgoong!”
“It can't end like this!”
Instructors and students were amazed by Namgoongsu’s exquisite moves..
However, Namgungsu’s expression was not good..
‘……He just read my attack in advance and backed away..’
Originally, I was planning to block Myung Il-oh's attack with the previous attack and then counterattack by taking a step at the same time..
However, Myeong Il-o attacked half a beat ahead of him and quickly retreated to increase the distance..
“Phew… … . after…….”
Looking at Myung Il-oh, who was slowly catching his breath outside the gap, Nam Goong-su realized that he was trapped in an imaginary circle he had created for himself..
“I'll go again.”
“…….”
Myeong Il-oh, aiming his wooden stick at the middle finger, rushed back. It was a moment when Namgoongsu had not yet caught his breath..
Ta-da-da-da-da-da-dak!
Myeong Il-oh’s offensive was fierce. Taking advantage of the fact that Namgoongsu could not leave the virtual circle, he cleverly repeated hit and run..
Whick! Swish swish!
At first, the intervals were not very accurate, but as time passed, threatening attacks began to occur at intervals as precise as a ruler..
Moreover, the opponent's weapon is a wooden baton. It was a weapon with much easier distance control than a wooden sword..
Nam Gung-soo literally felt like he was being tricked..
‘This person is really the same person as before.?’
This is not the level of hiding your skills..
It was as if someone else had adjusted Myung Il-oh's body to fight on his behalf..
‘No, that's not how I feel... … Actually, someone is helping..’
At first I was just surprised, but the more I got used to it, the more I became convinced..
Eyes full of confidence in his movements, and the ability to act without hesitation even while boldly attacking with a step that is focused on attacking..
‘Efficiency is maximized because there is no waste in movement..’
Although the wooden stick was swung at the same speed and with the same force as before, the difference in power was due to that..
‘But who on earth…….’
whirring!
This time, Myung Il-oh did not even look and just turned his head to avoid Namgung-su's attack..
Coincidentally, behind Myeong Il-o's head, a young man appeared..
‘white water dragon?’
Grinning.
The moment the two people's eyes met, the corners of Baek Soo-ryong's mouth rose..
‘It was you.!’
The moment he saw the smile on Baek Su-ryong's mouth, Nam Gung-su realized how this whole situation had happened..
Wow!
Namgungsu was angry to the core and trembled. A spark lit up in his eyes..
However, the gap that appeared in that moment.
“Where are you looking in sparring??”
“!!”
Baek Su-ryong and Myung Il-oh did not miss out..
whirring!
Myeong Il-oh, who immediately entered the virtual circle, blocked the wooden sword with the wooden stick and hit Namgung-su's neck with his foot. Namgungsu’s body leaned back..
Myung Il-oh grinned as he faced the embarrassed Nam Gung-su..
“This is the end.”
And Myeong Il-oh swung the wooden baton with all his strength and energy..
Kwaang!
Nam Goong-su's back fell backwards and landed on the off-stage floor..
No, everyone thought he was stuck..
Myung Il-oh's only mistake that day was being too sure of victory too quickly..
“What means it's over??”
Namgungsu did not fall. He was blocking the wooden bar with his legs stretched out and his back bent wide..
A technique of iron pangyo that requires an incredible sense of balance and strength in the lower body and abdomen..
“The moment the sparring ends.”
Namgungsu muttered in a somber voice, took two or three steps back, then bounced his waist and stood up..
“Jeez, damn it.!”
Myeong Il-oh hurriedly tried to step back, but at that moment, Nam Gung-su was already putting a lot of energy into his sword..
“I decide.”
Crackling, crackling!
A dazzling white sword energy formed on his sword..
* * *
Not long after starting the bet, Zhuge Xiaoying asked me with an ecstatic look on his face..
“……What on earth have you done??”
“What do you mean??”
Zhuge Xiaoying's long white finger was pointed at the two people fighting on the non-stage..
“That one. How can applicant Myeong Il-oh push Namgoong??”
“I guess I was hiding my skills.”
I shrugged my shoulders and answered with a nonchalant expression, but in reality, I was constantly giving instructions to Myeong Il-o in full voice..
[Move two steps to the left. A cut comes from the right.]
[After retreating one step, block the upper left corner. Immediately after, aim for the opponent's thigh..]
[Three steps to the right and then one step forward. stab!]
[Hold it long and bounce it. The other person won’t come after you anyway.]
There were times when he was slow to react, but for the most part, Myung Il-o followed my instructions well..
On the other hand, Namgungsu was fighting at a huge disadvantage..
‘I can see how far the virtual circle goes..’
imaginary circle.
The compulsion to not escape from within it was preventing Namgoongsu from demonstrating even half of his skills..
It's stupid..
The reason I was able to fight with the kids at the academy using only external techniques was because in the past, I had done the same training countless times and literally only used external techniques..
However, Myung Il-o was in a situation where he could use his inner strength freely..
‘Did you dig your own grave?.’
Namgungsu's embarrassed hands and feet were seen becoming more and more dizzy..
whirring!
The moment Myeong Il-oh tilted his head to avoid Nam Gung-su's sword, Nam Gung-su and I happened to meet our gazes..
I grinned, intending to shake Namgungsu psychologically..
“!!”
As expected, his expression became noticeably distorted..
I immediately sent a message to Myeong Il-o..
The fifty sum bet I made with Zhuge Xiaoying was coming to an end..
[Let's end it with this attack..]
whirring!
Myeong Il-oh, who narrowed the gap, blocked the wooden sword and made a five-geum move to push Nam Gung-su..
At the same time, he swung the wooden baton containing powerful energy from top to bottom..
Whoa whoa!
I smiled and nodded..
“It's over.”
But even monkeys fall from trees sometimes, and unexpected things often happen in life..
Kwaang!
The moment Namgungsu held on and blocked the wooden baton using the Cheolpangyo technique, my eyebrows furrowed, and the moment he bounced his back and stood up, I clicked my tongue, and sighed lowly as I looked at Myung Il-oh, who was surprised and retreated..
‘What if I step back in surprise? I should have kept attacking with the determination to kill..’
Well, just by doing this much, Myung Il-o did much better than I expected..
But I could never have imagined that at that moment, Namgungsu would apply sword energy to the wooden sparring sword..
Crackling, crackling!
It was a bright white black color..
The moment I saw that, I shouted out whether it was some kind of instructor or a student..
“Heavenly Lightning Sword Technique)!”
One of the famous Shingongjeolhaks of the Namgung family, which competes for supremacy even within the five generations..
At the same time, I shouted and jumped up onto the off-stage..
“That crazy guy!”
But it was too late.
The sword energy that dyed the non-stage white exploded, and a moment later Myeong Il-oh's screams erupted..
“Wow!”
Myeong- il-o flew away, vomiting blood. I jumped into the air and gently caught the flying body of the guy and landed on the ground..
“Tongue, brother… … . Wow!”
“don't say.”
Myeong Il-oh’s body was covered in blood. Barely able to block the sword energy, the shattered pieces of wood from the wooden pole became stuck in various parts of my body..
It looks like the bleeding was barely avoided, but it wasn't an injury that would heal with a day or two of recuperation..
faba bag!
I pointed out several of Myeong Il-oh's blood transfusions and acupuncture points..
I handed Myeongil-oh, who was fast asleep, to Jegal So-young who ran next to me..
“It's okay, it's okay?”
“There is no danger to his life, so hold him for a while and show him to the doctor when he comes. I need to talk to them over there..”
After entrusting Myeong Il-oh to Zhuge So-young, I turned my head and glared at Nam Gung-su..
Namgungsu was also looking at me..
“Did you intend to kill me??”
“……I'm sorry. Since it was a tense situation, I ended up using my sword without realizing it..”
Namgoongsu sighed with an embarrassed expression, but I knew it was just his acting..
“Sorry?”
I chuckled and strode up onto the off-stage..
Without even realizing it, the tone of voice from my days as a clan came out..
“Is it over if I’m sorry? Even if Il-oh just died in the attack, are you going to say sorry at the grave and end it? You live comfortably in this world..”
“……What should we do now??”
I stopped just a few steps away from Namgoongsu..
Namgungsu also glared at me without backing down..
Tensions increased as unexpected injuries occurred..
All eyes in the audience were watching us..
‘do it here?’
I stood there and assessed Namgungsu’s skills..
Certainly, the martial arts skills you just showed were stronger than I expected..
They say he's good at hiding his skills..
Maybe he was hiding it more than this..
But that doesn't mean I can win…….
“stop!”
A loud, powerful voice shook the stage..
Noh Gun-sang came up onto the off-stage as if he was flying and scolded us with stern eyes..
“Baek Su-ryong applicant. Instructor Namgoongsu. Both of you, please return to your seats. No more disturbance will be tolerated..”
“…….”
“…….”
Neither of us moved, and by our actions we offended the Emperor of the Thousand Hands Guanyin..
“Can't you both hear me??”
dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!
The energy that emerged from Noh’s body pressed down on the two of us with a suffocating pressure..
“Pfft…….”
“Ugh…….”
The expressions of Namgoongsu and I distorted at the same time due to the tremendous pressure..
Not only that, the aftermath alone made some of the surrounding instructors and students in the audience pale..
“This is the final warning. Both of you go back to your places..”
At that stern voice, Namgungsu turned around first..
‘young. Consider yourself lucky..’
I shot Namgungsu in the back of the head and slowly turned around..
Somehow, I had a feeling that my bad relationship with that guy would be prolonged..
