Chapter 55 (1/2)

The sound of grunting continued to flow from Byeoktaesan’s room all night. Sometimes a scream was heard, but overall it was very quiet compared to usual.

In addition, Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui stood in front of the room of Byeoktaesan with anxiety.

Sooner or later they will know the outcome of the bet.

“The more I think about it, the more I realize I lose more on this bet than I win.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It just doesn’t make sense to bet Il Chim Gong on just to find out who you are.”

“If you win the bet, you will naturally know that is not the case.”

“It’s not like you are the hidden son of Black Lotus’s leader. No, even if you are that wouldn’t compare to the Il Chim Gong.”

“Why are you making a fuss out of only just sharing a few tips for acupuncture?”

“Only? Did you just say only? Do you know how many people will lick the soles of my feet because they want to know the gist of that only a few tips of acupuncture?

“Do you have to make it so dirty? That’s why all the other doctors are avoiding you. They aren’t avoiding you because they are scared of you, it’s because you are so dirty.”

“Are you comparing me to poop right now?”

“There you go again saying dirty stuff.”

He barely swallowed the boiling temper.

“Let’s stop. No, I can’t. How about adding one more thing to our bet?”

“Add? What are we adding?”

“If I win, I’ll hit you just once. If you win, you can hit me once.”

“Ah, what kind of doctor tries to solve with violence?”

“So are you going to do it or not?”

Cheon Chu Shin Ui smiled.

“I won’t. I hate being beaten or hitting.”

“Sigh. If I can just hit that detestable face just once, I wouldn’t have any regrets.”

When the two were complaining to each other, the sound of pain coming from the room had stopped.

Then, the door to the room opened and Byeoktaesan came out.

The two doctors in the room were unconscious on the floor.

“Remove them.”

At Byeoktaesan’s words, Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui quickly pulled out the doctors and threw them into an empty room nearby.

And they looked at Byeoktaesan with nervous eyes.

“Ah, how was it?”

Byeoktaesan nodded.

“It wasn’t as effective, but it wasn’t bad.”

The expressions of Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui became slightly darkened when he said it wasn’t as effective.

But they couldn’t help it. The good doctors’ seed had dried up around here.

Byeoktaesan was actually quite satisfied.

This time, he succeeded in pulling and burning the spirit from two doctors at the same time.

The achievement of the Spirit Absorption was slightly improved.

Probably, it seemed possible to pull out more spirits at the same time if it was further developed.

Of course, in order to do so, the Jeolmaek must be completely healed and the achievements of the Spirit Absorption must be much higher than it is now, but anyway, it was possible to do it with time.

This time, the doctors brought in by Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui seem to have lived neatly, so their spirits didn’t have any particularity.

They were ordinary people who never hurt or killed anyone.

That’s why their spirits were also relatively ordinary. The spiritual power in their spirits was also ordinary.

Because they were doctors, it had a therapeutic effect, but it wasn’t comparable to that of Il Chim Gui or Cheon Chu Shin Ui.

Still, it was meaningful to Byeoktaesan.

Byeoktaesan decided to burn the spirits of more diverse people in the future.

Then, shouldn’t he gain new enlightenment or the ability of Spirit Absorption to grow more?

Anyway, now he had to tell the results to those two who were staring at him intensely.

Byeoktaesan smiled and looked at Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui.

“It’s a draw.”

“Pardon?”

“What do you mean a draw?”

Byeoktaesan continued what he said without worrying about the reaction of the two.

“If I have to explain it since both spirits were pretty low class, I would have to say both of you lost.”

“Huh?”

“What kind of… … !”

What was this nonsense ruling?

But the two didn’t talk back anymore. This was a conclusion that can be reached because it was Byeoktaesan.

The best in the world can do whatever they wanted after all.

The two agreed and tried to move on, but Byeoktaesan wasn’t finished.

“So make sure both of you give up whatever it was you guys bet to each other.”

“Excuse me?”

“That doesn’t make any sense!”

“Are you sure it doesn’t?”

When Byeoktaesan glanced at the two people and asked, both were forced to shut their mouths tightly.

What in this world couldn’t be done? You just have to do it.

The quiet voice of Byeoktaesan could be heard in the ears of the two.

“I’ll be sure to check. And… expect good things to happen if you two choose to make a bet involving me. So I suggest doing only what you can afford to do.”

Byeoktaesan left those words and went into the room.

Slam.

The door closed, and the Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui couldn’t move and stood there frozen for a while.

They were scared to death.

* * *

Chun Chu Shin Ui’s and Il Chim Gui went to the corner of the dorm and squatted down.

It seemed as if they were secretly conspiring.

“Who the hell is he?”

“What are you talking about?”

“The lord’s identity. Shit, It’s the first time I’ve ever been so scared in my life. All he did was talk, but how can he be so scary? Damn it.”

“Because of the atmosphere.”

At the words of Cheon Chu Shin Ui, Il Chim Gui nodded.

“That makes sense. It wasn’t like he raised his inner power, or like he showed his aura. … .”

Chun Chu Shin Ui smirked.

“Why are you smirking? Am I funny? Weren’t you scared as well?”

“What do you mean not scared. I’ve had similar experiences before.”

“You had similar experiences? You must have gone through what I went through when you first met him.”

Chun Chu Shin Ui frowned.

“Ah, damn it that’s… yes that is true, but what I was talking about wasn’t the lord.”

“It wasn’t him? Then are you saying there is another person that is so scary?”

Suddenly, Cheon Chu Shin Ui’s shut his mouth.

“Why are you putting on that atmosphere again? What are you planning to talk about?”

“What are we going to do about our bet?”

“What do you mean? If the lord said we drew, then it’s a draw.”

“No, I mean what are you going to do about Il Chim Gong.”

Il Chim Gui grinned and glared at Cheon Chu Shin Ui.

“Are you planning on disobeying the lord?”

“No way. Of course, I should listen to the lord.”

“Tell me first then. What’s the fuck is your identity?”

“Can you stop the noise from going out from here?”

He was saying to cut off the sound by putting up a sound barrier. The face of Il Chim Gui suddenly distorted.

“Hey, do you think anyone can do that? Just wait a bit.”

Il Chim Gui frowned and focused on something. Sweat sprang from his forehead.
