Chapter 108 (2/2)

If you exceeded this limit, you will surely die. This was especially the case with Ilchimkai and Cheon Chushinui. The two were older than the others. Because of this, of course, there was a lack of stamina and strength.

“Brother, I think I’m going to fall.”

“Don’t tell me that. I’m about to do the same.”

“If I fall, hyung will carry me.”

“I will fall first. So you better carry me, you bastard.”

“I will first.”

“Are we betting?”

“Oh shit, really?”

“What do you say?”

“It’s Chuimsae. Chuimsae.”

“Shake.”

The two exchanged words as best as they could. It was the last struggle trying to hold on somehow. The two of them, who had been exchanging a few words like that, shut their mouths as if they had made a promise. And slowly, the eyes began to rise upwards.

My eyes widened and the whole world shook like a haze.

Just as he was about to collapse, Byeok Tae-san’s voice sounded like a miracle.

“So far. I’m going to rest for a while.”

At the same time, everyone fell to the floor.

* * *

Cho Seo-ran blinked slowly. With each blink, her vision became a little clearer. The surroundings were immersed in pitch black darkness. It looked like it was night. The night sky soon came into clear vision.

The twinkling stars were studded with grains.

“Oh… I fainted.”

It was then that she remembered the situation where she had lost her mind. Her body trembled terribly. It really felt like she was stepping into hell.

It was the first time Seo-ran realized that she could be pushed so harshly. Cho Seo-ran had to learn both medicine and martial arts at the same time, so she worked harder than most civilians or doctors.

It was hard for her to achieve either one, because it was usually not hard to do both at the same time. However, what she experienced today made all her efforts like a child’s prank. She honestly never thought it would be possible.

‘By the way, where did you come from now?’

Cho Seo-ran thought about it and got up. She was probably the first one in her group to wake up.

With that, she looked around and saw people lying side by side. All of them had been together since infinity. She saw the maids of Tae-san around her, and Cheon Kyung-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon were some distance away. And farther away lay Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai.

They were all asleep, almost as if dead.

‘What about Confucius?’

Cho Seo-ran found where Byeok Tae-san was. Everyone had been too busy running and they were told to rest, so they collapsed on the spot.

There was a high possibility that Byeok Tae-san had been protecting them until now. However, no matter how much she looked around, she couldn’t find him. Anxiety slowly rose.

However, Cho Seo-ran shook her head to shake off her little feelings.

‘First of all, from the state of the body…’

After such a forced march, there was no way her body was normal. First of all, she needed to figure out how much it will affect her future work.

At this, Cho Seo-ran slowly closed her eyes and contemplated his body.

And then, she opened her eyes in surprise.

“What, what? Does this make sense?”

Her physical condition turned out to be perfect, as if she had recovered after a few days of rest after intense training. No, it was not enough to be perfect.

Cho Seo-ran was confused.

‘Is that torture-like running a practice? But in less than a day, is this possible? It doesn’t make much sense…’

The bones and muscles of her body also became much harder and more flexible. Cho Seo-ran’s thoughts gradually gathered from Wuhan to the light of the gods taught by Byeok Tae-san.

It was clear that there was something secretive about all this. She thought again about what Gyunggong’s advice was and what Byeok Tae-san had explained to her. Then, she analyzed it step by step. Of course, there were no results.

Meanwhile, her party started to open their eyes one by one. Cho Seo-ran looked at them and smiled. She had a completely different way of accepting the situation from herself. She seemed to take everything for granted.

Ilchimkai then approached Cho Seo-ran. “Are you okay?”

“Yes. It’s so good that it’s a problem.”

The scoundrel laughed bitterly. It was because he understood why Cho Seo-ran had said such a thing.

“Just accept it. Then it’s convenient.”

“However…!”

“I didn’t lose anything, I just gained it, is there any problem?” Cho Seo-ran bit the inside of her mouth. The scoundrel’s words were indeed correct.

“By the way… Where else did our Confucius go? … .” Ilchimkai looked around him. The place they were now was at the beginning of a small mountain a little far from Gwando.

There seemed to be no private houses or villages around, and there were no wild animals. It wasn’t a dangerous place. However, it did not seem that Byeok Tae-san would have left them like this and went far off by himself.

Unsurprisingly, Tae-san suddenly appeared from within the mountains. Then, he shook his hand. A huge wild boar flew through the air and fell between the party.

Bang! It was so huge that the ground shook.

“Let’s have some rice. I’m hungry.”

At this, everyone stared blankly at the scene, but at the words of Tae-san, they gradually came to their senses and began to move.

“If you don’t like it, leave now.” A faint smile formed on the corners of Byeok Tae-san’s lips as he watched the group struggle to move faster than ever before.
