The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 238
EP.239 Chapter 2 - Review Index (6)
* * *
It's overwhelming. It's dark and hopeless.
That was the mindset of the members..
The young sprouts, who had never faced such a high wall in their lives, were clearly feeling the weight of being named Daum, the best in the world..
It was something incomprehensible beyond the concept of 'you can overcome it if you try'.
Should I say that it feels as if I am facing a sky that I cannot reach no matter how hard I struggle and cannot be harmed no matter what I do?.
“It's not coming. So do you want to end it here??”
Even though I was clearly looking straight ahead, it felt like I was looking up at the sky..
Gwangryong Baek Kyung-oh was feeling that feeling most acutely..
Kuuk―!
My heart is tightening..
My breathing became heavy and my fingertips began to tremble..
Baek Kyung-oh couldn't define that feeling..
Because it's a feeling I've never felt before..
It was fear.
It was a feeling that arose only when one acknowledged one's weakness over the other and surrendered..
As the owner of Tucheonseong, I have never felt such a sensation, and I have never been afraid of death..
Baek Kyung-oh felt that all these things weighing down his body and mind were unfamiliar..
‘why.’
Aren't your fists clenched?.
Why can't I lift my sword? Why can't I take a step?.
Will Ida-ji inadvertently decide to run away because her opponent seems high-ranking?.
‘escape? I?’
What's next? Not now? Victory, not struggle... No, it's about survival.?
“hot…!”
A smile comes out.
It was obvious he was crazy..
This situation could not be explained without judgment..
Baek Kyung-oh glared piercingly at Mo Ri-won..
It was the best struggle I could do, and it was also a rebellion against the gloom I felt the whole time..
From the moment we first met, there was an eerie feeling I felt from Mok Riwon..
It felt as if a sword was scanning every place I looked..
At first, I thought the gloom I felt at that time was just joy for the coming battle, but….
‘My body got scared first..’
It hurts my pride.
Baek Kyung-oh staggered and got up from his seat..
“I will do more.”
I forcefully pull up my stiffening mouth and put a smile on my face..
It resembled the act of a frightened herbivore inflating its body, and only Baek Kyung-oh didn't know that..
In any case, there was only one future waiting for Baek Kyung-oh, who rushed forward in such denial..
“gasp!”
This time too, his sword couldn't get past the index finger of Mu Riwon..
*
Even after that, the members could not give up easily and attacked Mok Riwon..
The underlying thing was pride..
It's such a shallow pride that it makes no sense to not be able to pierce just one of Mok Riwon's index fingers..
It was right to say that they also felt the same way Baek Kyung-oh felt..
However, Mokriwon did not tolerate such pride, and in the end, the 2nd Yongbongdan was miserably defeated..
“I guess that's it. Because all your efforts have been done.”
“yet…!”
“Why are you trying to use the innate energy? Do you think I could take even one step if I did that??”
Baek Kyung-oh flinched and trembled..
Because I actually felt that way..
But I couldn't do it.
As Mok Ri-won said, the difference in level that becomes clearer the more you rush into it has already revealed the answer..
“I know that being called a dragon and a baton puts a strain on your shoulders. I also went through a similar process as you..”
Mok Ri-won began to speak in a quiet voice..
It was a remark in the form of a reprimand, but the tone was so gentle that it also sounded like a form of comfort..
“There is nothing to be afraid of in the world. It would seem like he could win no matter who he meets. But, that's why we have to be more humble.”
Mo Ri-won relaxed his back and was the first to help Baek Kyung-oh up..
“Gangho is wide. This is a place where countless people are holding their breath, and at some point, their breath becomes a storm and swirls around. Some breaths are so capricious and violent that they come like a breeze and bite your neck..”
Mok Ri-won's words did not stop even as he raised the members one by one..
“How can you be stronger than them? If you know that even they are humble, how can you be arrogant?.”
Immediately after, the conversation ended..
“Don't let your guard down. Don't underestimate your enemy, and don't be overconfident in your abilities. Study and reflect on today’s experience over time..”
Immediately after, Mokriwon’s appearance became quite clear..
Mok Ri-won said with a smile that seemed somewhat reckless..
“Okay, that's it for today's sparring. Since you worked hard, everyone will be hungry. Let's go get some food.”
Mokriwon opened the door to the training hall..
The sun was already setting.

Right after heading to the restaurant, Mok Ri-won left, saying he had work to do..
The remaining members were sitting together, clucking at their chopsticks..
It was like a funeral home..
“…It's transcendence. For sure.”
It was Namgung So-ah who got lucky..
Kang Seo-hwi received the message..
“yes. Because I can't explain it otherwise.”
It was a story about the state of Mokriwon..
All of them were convinced that Mokriwon had reached the realm of transcendence..
It had to be that way..
Otherwise, there is no explanation for such a desperate difference..
It is impossible for the supreme to display such inaction..
This was a known fact because they were Yongbongs who had already sparred with supreme warriors..
From the moment I confirmed that I was fighting five warriors at their peak with just one index finger, the answer was decided from the beginning..
“I'm getting tired.”
Namgung Soah slumped his shoulders..
I tried my best to pretend to be strong, but it ended without even touching a single hair, and a belated sense of shame filled me..
It wasn't just Namgung So-ah who was like this..
So did others.
Meanwhile, it was Baek Kyung-oh who gave a particularly sharp reaction..
He was lost in thought, staring blankly at the floor..
It was Bimu’s comeback..
‘Even if it wasn't transcendence, would it have been possible to win??’
If you had met 18-year-old Mok Ri-won, who first appeared as a strong player, would you have been able to win??
Baek Kyung-oh pictured a dance with him in his head..
It is to comb out the best unmanned Mokriwon by considering all the techniques shown by Mokriwon, eye contact, breathing interval, and unique habits..
‘Still lose.’
It was a confidence that surprised even myself..
Of course, Mokriwon had to be at his best and use his footwork and swordsmanship to the fullest, but the outcome of victory was clear..
His counterattack technique is the problem..
Baek Gyeong-oh was born to be able to acutely accept all of his opponent's actions the moment he entered battle..
Therefore, we confirmed that Mok Ri-won clearly followed all the moves with his eyes..
This means that no matter what attack is made, it will all be blocked..
Not only that.
He clearly checked the trajectory of Mok Riwon's index finger and went into attack, but the moment the sword was extended, the trajectory was gently twisted in the opposite direction, blocking the sword..
This means that the conversion of offense and defense is unrealistic..
overwhelmingly inferior.
A difference in class that cannot be overcome by simply biting persistently..
My shoulders are weighed down.
and,
“Khot….”
New feelings begin to bloom.
‘It was friendly.’
All of Mokriwon's actions were friendly to its members..
He only used extremely friendly methods in sparring, as if trying to teach him a lesson..
So, the sparring with him was all about enlightenment..
‘If I apply for sparring again, will you accept it??’
I'm sure they'll accept it.
Then I'll learn another thing.
Metallurgy, metallurgy, there will be more things to eat..
If you keep eating like that, won't you one day reach a point where you can have a worthy fight?.
Baek Kyung-oh imagined the moment when he counterattacked and dug in to his moves one by one..
I felt like my body was heating up..
It was his inevitable nature to consider the quality of the fight itself before winning or losing..
Instinct was speaking.
It is said that bimu on par with Mokriwon is a delicacy that has never been tasted before..
Baek Kyung-oh stood up..
“I'm going.”
“What, why is he like that??”
“Leave it alone. When have you ever done something that was understandable?.”
I left the palace and left the members behind..
I will review today's sparring, look for points that can be corrected, and apply for sparring once again..
It was the moment I took to the streets with that feeling..
“hmm? Umm… uh? Look!”
I heard a voice.
When I turned my head, there was a face that Baek Kyung-oh knew..
‘Zhuge family head.’
Immediately took control.
“Meet the matriarch.”
What happened so far? Oh, since you said you had a close relationship with Mok Ri-won, maybe you were on your way to meet him?.
It was a moment to think.
“Oh, it was nice to meet you. please help me.”
Zhuge Shan dragged Baek Kyung-oh and headed to the entrance of the Murim Alliance..
And he pointed to the dry goods store at the entrance..
“Do you see that couple over there??”
“…yes?”
“That's right there.”
Baek Kyung-oh nodded..
Then Zhuge Shan smiled and said,.
“The owner of the store over there is a handsome man. Please get that person's attention. The title is… Okay, I'm here to make a suit for you. Please tell me your measurements..”
Baek Kyung-oh suddenly wondered what this meant..
“why should i do that?”
“huh?”
The response that came back was questionable..
Zhuge Mountain said as if asking why he was asking the obvious..
“Wouldn’t that give me a chance to talk to that wife?.”
Standing tall, Baek Kyung-oh’s body stopped..
Baek Kyung-oh looked at Zhuge Mountain after hearing words that made me doubt my ears..
He had an effeminate attitude as if he was wondering what was wrong..
“What should I do, I'm not going.”
“….”
“Please help me. I heard that I have business with that lady.?”
‘Is the business a sound business??’
It was a question I couldn’t bear to ask..
light dragon.
Baek Kyung-oh, as he was called in the world, realized what real madness was..
