Chapter 74
##74fury. I think I won
‘something is wrong with this.’
It was the first thought that came to Jo Maksaeng’s mind..
The pain in my stomach was nothing. Cold sweat dripped from my whole body..
‘Holy shit…….’
At first everything went according to plan.
After bringing an old man who didn't know anything about the subject and a kid named Wi Ji-cheon to the sparring hall, I planned to make them urinate in front of a lot of people..
It wasn't difficult to gather onlookers, and it was even easier to entice older people who wanted to join the younger ones to come up off stage..
“Elderly. Sparring is done safely with wooden swords. You don't want to get hurt before the entrance exam..”
“Heh heh. Good. After all, safety comes first.”
The corners of Jo Maksaeng's mouth went up at the thought of directly informing this smelly old man that even a wooden sword could break a bone..
Two people stand face to face on a non-stage.
Cho Mak-saeng proposed to create a more overwhelming situation..
“If it's okay with you, can I give you some hemp plant food??”
“Heh heh. Then I will go without your permission..”
Gongsunsu approached with a slow pace that made you yawn..
Even if I wanted to let down my guard, I couldn't..
Just as I was thinking about five ways to block that weak attack, the sword came closer..
‘I will stop this even with my eyes closed..’
Cho Mak-saeng leisurely raised his sword..
But at that moment, the opponent's sword suddenly became faster..
“Inhale!”
Normally, I wouldn't have been surprised by that speed..
However, if a sword that was moving slowly suddenly became faster, it felt twice as fast..
puck!
Because I raised my sword in a hurry, I was unable to properly defend myself..
What is 3 seconds?.
After barely parrying the opponent's attack, Cho Mak-saeng habitually tried to counterattack immediately..
whirring!
Gongsun Shui, who leaned back to avoid the attack, took a few steps back and laughed..
“Huh. They said they would give up three seconds... … . It was a good study. Being good at lying is also a feat..”
“no…….”
Jo Mak-saeng's face turned red as he realized his indecency belatedly..
‘Damn it!’
Many eyes were watching from all directions..
I saw not only my classmates, but also my seniors and sometimes instructors..
I couldn't be accused of being a liar in this situation..
“……It was a mistake just now. I will give up two seconds, no, three seconds again..”
“Huh. Can I trust you this time?…….”
‘Damn old man!’
Gongsunsu looked like he couldn't believe it, and Jo Maksaeng calmed his boiling stomach and repeated his promise several times to give up three seconds..
“I understand. I'll pretend to be fooled and believe it.”
Gongsunsu, who turned Jo Maksaeng's stomach upside down, approached again cautiously..
Giving up three seconds means only blocking three attacks without counterattacking..
But Gongsun Soo was much stronger than Jo Maksaeng thought..
While blocking the three seconds, Cho Maksaeng's hands and feet were twisted, and Gongsunsu, who had dug in during that gap, fired a blow to the abdomen..
Powwow!
“Wow!”
Cho Mak-saeng, who was hit in the stomach, was pushed backwards and broke his back..
“this. I'm sorry. I didn't know that I couldn't stop it either.…….”
This was the series of events that occurred when the two people came up to the non-stage..
“can you wake up?”
“Pfft… … . Of course.”
Zhao Ma Sheng immediately raised his upper body in preparation for the next attack, but Gongsun Shui stood still as if he had no intention of attacking anymore..
“I'll make it a draw if you want..”
Words that make a person a fool in an instant.
His facial expression, tone of voice, and every action turned Jo Maksaeng's outfit upside down..
“draw?”
The number of onlookers around the off-stage increased to dozens, no, to over a hundred now..
I see expressions of surprise, interest, and ridicule..
Among them, the thing that Cho Mak-saeng couldn't stand the most was Jin-jin, who looked at him like he was an insect, and Nam Gung-seok's emotionless face, as if he didn't even expect anything..
“Damn it……!”
Life began to appear in Cho Mak-saeng's eyes..
he said, spitting on the floor.
“Don't talk like you've already won. 'Cause I haven't even started yet.”
“Heh heh. I said this because I was worried about you.…….”
“Just shut up and attack me!”
Jo Maksaeng shouted and attacked with all his might..
no more let down.
I will repay you many times what you have suffered so far..
‘gaffer! I will break all your bones!’
The power of the wooden sword tore the air..
Some onlookers frowned at the deadly attack..
“That's a bit…….”
“Shouldn’t it be stopped??”
But no one has come forward yet.
This is because Gongsunsu's expression was surprisingly calm as he faced the opponent's attack..
“Heh heh. What Teacher Baek said is correct..”
“Wow!”
As he watched Jo Mak-saeng rushing at him like a wild boar, Gongsun Soo recalled the advice Baek Soo-ryong had given him..
-Gongsonsu trainee. What do you think your strengths are??
-Excellent musculature for one's age? Or a formidable intelligence?
A face that looked astonished at a meaningless joke came to mind..
- First of all, calmness. Perhaps because of all the hardships he faced, the trainee didn't even blink an eye at the slightest threat..
whirring!
Baeksu-ryong suddenly swung his sword and brought it to Gongsunsu's neck..
Instead of being surprised, Gongsunsu reacted to stop it, although it was much too late..
-A little while ago, I reacted without being surprised.?
-……Then what should I do? Because the reaction was slow, the attack was allowed..
-That's because the opponent is too overwhelming..
-Pretending to be proud…….
- The second advantage is psychological warfare. The trainee is older than the other applicants, and he started martial arts late, so his body looks unremarkable at first glance..
-……Black spirit. Now this guy is insulting me?
-Let’s ring, old man.?
-…… Make sure you both listen to the end. The other person naturally develops a feeling of disregard for the trainee. At this time, if you gently scrape it with words, you can cook it as easily as you want, this is it. Trainees are good at that.?
-her…….
I can't forget that face smiling evilly..
Thanks to you, I am using it well now..
“Haaap!”
Jo Ma-saeng shouted loudly and dodged all the swords he swung, and Gongsun Soo smiled softly..
“Heh heh. Even though I'm old, I'm not deaf, so there's no need to scream like that..”
Jo Maksaeng, whose face turned bright red, shouted at Gongsunsu's words, which were mostly teasing..
“It's noisy!”
“hmm? Aren't you louder than me??”
“Damn old man!”
“Hehehe.”
I spent my whole life in the imperial palace, fighting against those who hid their swords in their tongues..
I could tell what that lump of blood was thinking just by looking at its eyes..
‘This guy has very yellow buds..’
A typical personality that is weak to the strong and strong to the weak.
The cunningness of assessing the level of those you meet for the first time and revealing your hidden teeth when you think they are weaker than you..
Gongsunsu was the type of person he hated the most..
-Teacher Baek. Is there a third advantage??
- This is a continuation of the second... … . If you are ahead of your opponent in psychological warfare, you will naturally have an advantage in the battle of numbers..
-In short, the idea is to get the other person excited through a war of words and cause them to make mistakes.?
-I understand it perfectly. Great job, trainee. Now you know why you need to learn Jeon-eum?
white water dragon.
Sometimes that young martial arts tutor looks like a 50-year-old pygmy snake..
- Whether you do it vocally or send a message. Provoke your opponent and make them make a mistake. And don't miss the opportunity to finish it..
- her… … . I know this because I watched a lot of martial arts magazines during my childhood. Usually Sapa guys do things like that a lot..
-This instructor has a very free thinking frame in that respect. Hehehe.
If it weren't for his handsome face, Baek Soo-ryong said with a smile that would have made you think he was Madou of Sapa..
- Don't forget. Calm. Psychological warfare. Can fight. As long as you have these, you can play with all the blood in the Blue Dragon Science Museum..
Gongsunsu remembered that face and burst into laughter..
“To be honest, I was skeptical... … There's nothing wrong with what you said, teacher..”
“shit! What have you been muttering about since a while ago?!!”
“Hey kid. I didn't say it to you.”
Gongsun Shui moved gently to avoid Zhao Ma Sheng's attack..
The opponent's attack was fast and rough, but the movements were large and there were many gaps..
‘It's obvious..’
I could read very clearly where the excited young man was aiming, what kind of thoughts he was taking, and how he was going to continue his diet..
‘Heh heh. I feel like my eyes have opened.’
Gongsun Shui's sword drew a gentle arc..
The onlookers who saw the scene chatted and exchanged opinions with each other..
“shaman's martial arts?”
“No, not a shaman.”
“It seems like a Taoist martial art.…….”
“……It contains the secrets of competent steelmaking..”
Gongsunsu's martial arts was nothing like what they had guessed..
However, it only contains the martial arts techniques that Baek Soo-ryong emphasized throughout the month..
Competent steel making).
Overpowering strength with softness.
It's easier said than done, but it takes a lot of courage to actually do it..
The courage to accept rather than oppose a force stronger than oneself..
‘What is this??’
The moment the swords collided, Cho Maksaeng felt as if his sword had fallen into a deep swamp..
Gongsunsu's sword was neither fast nor strong..
Instead, it was infinitely soft, and it moved forward little by little, entangling its own attacks..
“Ugh……!”
Cho Mak-saeng didn't even know he was taking a step back..
I'm definitely not strong.
It's an opponent I can beat.!
I got angry at the fact that things didn't go my way..
“shit! An old man who is nothing special!”
The excited Jo Maksaeng injected a lot of energy into his sword..
Ugh! And the wooden sword trembled..
I planned to use my strength to instantly defeat my opponent and then finish him off with my strongest herbivore..
“It's over.”
Namgung-seok and Jin-jin flinched at the cold voice they heard from next to them..
When did they come, Namgungsu was watching the fight next to them?.
“Master…….”
“The greetings are done. Don't miss out and watch until the end. Let's see what happens to those who don't know their own subject and don't understand the other person's abilities, and make them a class teacher..”
“……yes.”
It was an incredibly harsh evaluation of a student he taught..
“Haaaaap!”
Cho Mak-saeng's attacks, which showed off his spirit, were fast and powerful, making him one of the few attacks of his age..
But Gongsunsu had already read the trajectory..
whirring!
The strike of conversion split the air in vain..
Gongsunsu's sword gently penetrated into the gap and struck Cho Ma-saeng's wrist and thigh..
Sigh! Just!
two hits.
It wasn't a very strong force, but it was enough to drop Cho Mak-saeng's sword to the floor and make him fall to his knees..
“I think I won.”
“Ugh…….”
The wooden sword was touching the tip of the chin of Cho Mak-saeng, who was kneeling on the floor..
Gongsun Su said with a grin..
“Hey kid. I know you tried to embarrass me in front of everyone..”
“me, i…….”
“However, the world is not that easy. If you plan to devise a plan, you must also know that it can be counterproductive..”
“Pfft…….”
Jo Maksaeng’s face turned red..
Not only did I lose the match, but I was embarrassed that my opponent had even read my plan..
“Please correct such bad habits from now on..”
Knowing that people will not easily change with just a few words, Gongsun Su gave a brief admonition and then turned around..
‘Phew. I'm tired..’
The tension in my whole body was relieved and fatigue suddenly set in..
Still, I felt extremely refreshed..
It was time to promise myself that I would brag to my heart's content that I had defeated the Black Spirit when I returned to the White Dragon Hall..
““Wow!!””
Gongsunsu's eyes widened as he heard shouts and applause pouring in from all directions..
“Ugh?”
He finally saw the crowds filling up the area around the non-stage..
“That's great, old man.!”
“It was really cool!”
“I heard it earlier. I heard he was the oldest applicant ever.?”
“That's amazing. Can you take on such a challenge at that age?…….”
When he was young, the boys and girls he admired were giving him heartfelt cheers and applause..
“Heh heh, heh heh heh…….”
Gongsun Shui stood still for a while on the off-stage..
An indescribable pleasure ran down my spine..
As a result, a few tears tried to flow out..
“Elderly!”
Wi Ji-cheon was also seen waving his hand over there. Good guy. His eyes were red, as if he was more happy than he had won..
“Hehehe… … . Thank you. Thank you all.!”
Gongsun Su greeted the people with his arms raised..
It was then that an unexpected accident occurred..
“Ahhhhh!”
A small fish with the whites of its eyes turned red screamed and attacked Gongsunsu, who showed his back..
