Chapter 61 (1/2)

“Ughhhhh!”

Cheon Gyeong-wan made a painful sound, almost screaming, and walked.

It hurt as if his whole body was tearing apart.

But when he succeeded in taking steps, the pain disappeared like a lie.

Cheon Gyeong-wan didn’t relax because the pain had disappeared.

If he didn’t move quickly, a second pain came rushing.

The pain came even while walking, but compared to the pain he got when he didn’t walk, it was a level of massage.

So he had to force himself to take a step.

“Oh ughhhhh!”

Cheon Gyeong-wan’s face distorted greatly.

And beside Cheon Gyeong-wan, there was Yoo Seo-yeon walking with the same expression.

There was a deep regret on both of their faces.

If they had known this, they would never have asked for it.

The walking method that Byeoktaesan gave them was Muryangbo.

When they first heard the name, they expected it to be a really great walk. Wasn’t there no way to be insignificant with this grandiose of a name?

When they heard the method, the expectation continued to be great. It was very difficult and complicated.

After memorizing all the method to the end, their expectations only grew.

It was because just reciting the method made it seem like strange energy enveloped their bodies.

However, as they memorized the method, they began to walk according to the method that Byeoktaesan taught them and tilted their heads.

For some reason, their body was heavy throughout their walk. And it was difficult to move. It felt like walking in water.

The walk itself was not very complicated. In other words, the movement of inner power was the key.

Byeoktaesan very kindly unraveled the stiffness and gave them the path of the movement.

And he gave them the exact gait along the path.

After doing so, Byeoktaesan smiled meaningfully.

They should have noticed it.

However, Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon made two more moves after that.

From then on, hell began.

Muryangbo meant giving the body unlimited pain and load.

When they heard the meaning from Byeoktaesan, they almost ran at him.

At least, it seemed that if they didn’t grab his collars and shake it, their anger would not subside.

But that was just for a moment.

The pain that had continued since then made Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon unable to think about anything else.

Muryangbo was a really peculiar walk.

They were just walking, but their whole body was heavy and painful.

But if they didn’t walk, more serious pain came. It was as if it were saying that if they don’t walk quickly you will die.

So they had to keep walking despite all the pain.

“Don’t stop. If you stop, your body may burst.”

How can they stop hearing these words?

“This was done for you guys. When you get used to Muryangbo, the circulation of inner power becomes natural and your muscles become hard and flexible. If you practice for a long time, you will be free from poison as well.

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon said all the curses they could think of in their hearts.

That was good and all, but how long did they have to do this?

As the two were fighting pain with their teeth clenched, someone quietly stepped into the training field.

Byeoktaesan turned his head and looked at him.

He was a man in a warrior outfit, but it was a little strange.

Byeoktaesan’s expression became strange.

“What is it?”

The man politely bowed his head to Byeoktaesan.

“The Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui have told me to come get you, my lord.”

Byeoktaesan smiled.

“They told you to bring me?”

“Yes. They said they have something to say to you.”

Byeoktaesan asked further.

“So where are they now?”

“I will guide you to them.”

“You guiding me to them is fine, but I asked where they were?”

“They are in a small hostel on the riverside, a little ways away from the dock.”

“A hostel? They weren’t looking at patients, but they were in a hostel?”

“Yes. It’s a really small hostel without a name. They told me to bring the lord as soon as possible. I’ll guide you right away as I know the road very well.

Byeoktaesan nodded and looked at Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon.

The two were walking with their teeth clenched to endure the pain, not paying attention to whether or not Byeok Tae-san had a conversation with the man.

“Shall we stop for a while and go back together?”

The two nodded franticly, as Byeoktaesan’s words fell. And they looked at Byeoktaesan with earnest eyes.

Byeoktaesan smiled and said.

“You can stop now.”

The pain that struck their whole body disappeared without a trace.

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon looked at Byeoktaesan.

And they were surprised.

This was because Byeoktaesan suddenly grabbed the neck of the Homu-ryeon warrior.

“Ugh! Why, why are you doing this.”

“Did you think I’d believe you talking nonsense?”

“It’s the truth. Ugh.”

Byeoktaesan threw the man back.

Crash!

The man fell between Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon.

“Restrain him.”

Cheon Gyeong-wan moved reflexively, immediately as Byeoktaesan’s orders were made, and suppressed the man’s pressure points.

Then Yoo Seo-yeon quickly ran to somewhere and took a thick rope and tied the man tightly.

“My lord, what is it? This person is Homu-ryeon, is it okay to do this?”

“He told me Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui told him to bring me.”

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon nodded at the same time.

“He said nonsense. It’s questionable.”

“Go and tell this to Homu-ryeonju or someone who has a bit of strength. There will be some suspicious guys in the hostel a little far from the dock. Hand this one over too.”

“Is it a trap?”

“Well. I don’t know that. But they will probably have something ready, so let’s leave that to Homu-ryeon.”

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon’s expressions were slightly darkened.

It was because there wasn’t much to do.

If there was nothing to do, won’t they have to resume their hellish walking training again?

Their bodies trembled.

“And check the schedule of where the Cheon chu Shin ui and Il Chim Gui has gone today.”

“Pardon?”

“Hurry!”

Byeoktaesan’s yelling prompted the two people to move.

Cheon Gyeong-wan grabbed the tightly tied man and ran. And Yoo Seo-yeon followed him.

The two were so hurried that they returned within half an hr after they ran out.

The situation was getting worse.
