Chapter 108 (1/2)

“Confucius, how do we find a path?”

At Ok Hwa’s question, Byeok Tae-san looked at her.

She spoke slowly. “The boat was prepared in advance. We also prepared horses and carriages separately, so you can choose what you want.”

Byeok Tae-san stopped her from walking and looked back at her.

Come to think of it, this was a serious problem. He hadn’t considered that they were still immature. Byeok Tae-san was planning to move as quickly as possible. However, she couldn’t keep up with the pace.

“Confucius?” Ok Hwa at Byeok Tae-san with her puzzled expression.

She didn’t respond to Byeok Tae-san, but she glanced around at the people following her. Among them, the person with the highest military achievement was Ilchimkai, and below them were Cheon Kyung-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon.

All the rest, except for Cheon Chushinui and Cho Seo-ran, were all arrogant, but among them, the flame was a bit high. She had mastered the Moon Spirit Magic, so it was natural for her.

Byeok Tae-san then looked at Cheon Kyung-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon and asked, “Are you a little light?”

It was a really simple question, but the moment he heard it, everyone in the room knew the intent of the question. Byeok Tae-san was planning to move to Uichang now.

“Neither fast nor slow.”

At Cheon Kyung-wan’s answer, Byeok Tae-san frowned. “How long will it take to run to Uichang alone?”

The distance from Wuhan to Uichang was almost a thousand li. Cheon Kyung-wan’s head was torn in an instant. If one was to assume that the interior did not dry out no matter how hard they ran, no matter how much they ran without resting, and no sleep, we would be able to arrive in one day.

However, how could a person do that? No matter how powerful a man he was, he could not maintain his light dexterity at full speed throughout the day. So, one just had to adjust accordingly.

Even if he were to control his speed, he couldn’t run without a break. As he continued to worry like that, his thoughts proved to be all over the place. “It is still. You think too much.”

Byeok Tae-san’s words made Cheon Kyung-wan’s mind awaken. “I…”

At this, Byeok Tae-san turned his head to look at Yoo Seo-yeon, as if he had no intention of listening to Chun Kyung-wan’s answer.

“You?”

“If your inner strength is infinite, one day is enough.”

“Can you stand it?”

Yoo Seo-yeon answered with poisonous eyes. “I can stand it.”

No matter how much strength she had, it was by no means easy to run for a full day without a break. However, she said he would do it.

In fact, Yoo Seo-yeon’s words had no meaning.

In the first place, wasn’t it absurd to assume that the interior space was infinite? And so, everyone looked at the meaningless conversation with puzzled eyes.

After finishing the conversation with Yoo Seo-yeon, Byeok Tae-san looked around the party. And he slowly opened his mouth. “Now, let me tell you a very simple kyunggong. The efficiency is a bit lower, but the speed and stability are quite good.”

Saying that, he began to recite one of Gyeonggong’s old phrases. All the people here were very talented in martial arts and had good brains, so after reciting the gugyeol twice, everyone memorized it.

There was no way that light work can be done by guiding alone. Byeok Tae-san helped me with my training by unraveling the stencil and explaining it once in a while when I watched the light work.

He was so simple, it didn’t take much to learn everything. But he all tilted his head. As Byeok Tae-san had said, it was not as efficient or as a highly stable light workman.

Anyway, when Byeok Tae-san finished the light dungeon training, he told his companions again.

“From now on, I will run to Uichang without a break. Go as fast as you can. don’t be shy Gonggong must write what I just told you.”

At this, everyone had a confused expression on their faces. How could one run to the spear without resting while maximizing your speed without sparing your strength?

Contradictory words could be heard, but no one responded. Byeok Tae-san then continued to speak.

“I believe we can all survive. I’ll walk, so it won’t be too difficult.” When Byeok Tae-san finished speaking, he turned around and started walking. Everyone hurriedly followed after him.

However, the Tae-san was incredibly fast. I was walking, but I didn’t feel like I was walking. He moved forward with every step he took, but he could never follow him. From the start, he did everything he could. And from then on, one had to run with all their might.

He had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, they would miss Byeok Tae-san.

“What would happen if walking was enough for me to run?” The scoundrel murmured like that with a bewildered expression on his face.

Half an hour had passed since they started running like that. Everyone had a different level of martial arts, and the amount of internal strength they possessed was also different. Because of this, the timing of the exhaustion had to be different.

Soso was the first person to lose her inner spirit. She wiped her sweat-drenched forehead and looked at Tae-san with a sad expression. She thought that she couldn’t pursue any more now that her vent had run out.

However, at that moment, something amazing happened.

“Uh?” The internal air, which he thought had run out, was now fluttering in the danjeon. Of course, the danjeon wasn’t full, but it was enough for light work.

Soso regained her strength and continued her work. Somehow, it seemed to be faster and more stable than before. After that, the pitfalls of the quarrels were exhausted one after another. And they, too, had the same experience as Soso.

Everyone looked at Byeok Tae-san’s back in wonder. The person who fell behind the quarrels was Cho Seo-ran, who had a slightly different reaction from the quarrels. she was astonished.

She then looked at Byeok Tae-san with eyes that could not be understood. How did this even come to be? She guessed that Gyeonggong, whom Byeok Tae-san taught me earlier, made this possible.

However, she had no idea how that was possible. It was only natural that she had a different reaction from the people who had been in martial arts for less than a year and those who had been practicing martial arts for a long time and accumulated various related knowledge.

One by one, more and more people were startled. The pace accelerated when everyone experienced an amazing miracle.

Byeok Tae-san increased his speed slightly at the exact moment, as if he knew it all. That was how hell began.

* * *

‘Fuck… I’m really not resting.’

Ilchimkai is just one step away from running out of breath. Of course, it wasn’t really like that, that was just what he felt like.

However, it was excruciatingly difficult. It had been a long time since he had crossed the limit, and the poison that had barely sustained him disappeared completely.

It was merely his pride that made him stand up to the ambush now. ‘I can’t fall before that one.’

Meanwhile, Cheon Chushinui was running with a clear expression on his face.

Now was not the time to think otherwise. His gaze was fixed on the back of Byeok Tae-san. It was only ten steps from where he was to where Byeok Tae-san was. However, no matter how much he ran, those ten steps could not be narrowed down. And the really strange thing was that the speed of the party following Byeok Tae-san remained the same.

Everyone had different skills and stamina, so their speed was bound to be different. Because of this, the front and back will open naturally. It should have been a long line of formation, but it was not at all. They were almost running together. How long it had been running had not even been counted.

It was certain that one hour had passed, but they had no idea how much more time had passed since then. ‘I just followed you. I’ll make you some medicine.’ The Iljim-goo regretted it all the way through. However, regret is always too late, no matter how early.

Maybe they could get to Uichang right away. It was a thought that was in the minds of not only Ilchimkai, but of everyone who was running together. How much longer were they to run? Slowly, everyone was experiencing the limit once again. And everyone acknowledged that this limit could never be crossed.
