Chapter 58: The Lazy Man, Overpowered (5)

“Of course.”

I don’t know if he answered that way because he thought it was really obvious, or because he was overwhelmed by the aura of Wi Yeon-ho, but either way, Wi Jeong-han nodded absentmindedly.

Look at those eyes.

If you say 'I was joking' here, even your father will beat you up. Wi Jeong-han gritted his teeth, determined that he could never turn his son into a traitor.

“Yeah, really, don’t touch it!”

"half a year?"

“Yes! Half a year!”

In that moment, Wei Yanhu's pupils began to shake.

Half a year?

Since he became a man, the longest period of time he has lived without being nagged at was less than two weeks. Even then, it was only when he was away from his family after he came out of the cave, but these days, he was being nagged at so much that he wondered if his ears would pop out if he didn't hear a nagging at least once a day.

But half a year?

'Is this heaven?'

Living in such a place was so comfortable that I wondered if I would enter nirvana at some point. Especially these days, when there were people around me who wanted to use him in some way, and when they were all poking at Wi Jeong-han's side, six months?

“Really?”

“Have you ever seen this father lie?”

“A bit much?”

“When, when did I, Inma!”

“Are you going to recite it all?”

“…….”

“Actually, it’s because I didn’t say anything, but there have been more than a few times when I was dumbfounded by my father hearing good things about me outside the house. To be honest, it’s not like there have been more than one or two times when my father has lied at home.”

“……Not this time.”

The voice of the wise man was weak.

If I had known this would happen, I would have lived a little more honestly.

“Ugh.”

It's true… … .

Is that true?

Wi Yeon-ho's body trembled.

It might be nothing to others, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that for Wei Yanhu, there was no greater bait than this.

“Aren’t you lying?”

“I said no!”

“I can’t believe it…….”

Wi Jeong-han turned his head and looked at the sky.

Damn, the sky was fucking clear again.

What good is it to hear things like “Great Swordsman” or “Jeonghyeopgeom” when you’re a person who can’t even trust your own children?

“Haha, if you don’t believe me, why don’t we become your notaries?”

At that moment, the Taoist monk of Seonpungdogol quietly walked towards them with a soft voice.

"to?"

Wei Yanhu saw the Taoist and said:

“Grandpa is here too?”

“Hehehe, yeah, I’m here. We’re familiar with each other, right?”

Wi Yeon-ho nodded, and Wi Jeong-han looked at the old man with blank eyes before shuddering.

That fresh-faced appearance, the black martial arts uniform, and the tattoo on his chest… … .

'Taegeuk?'

She is a shaman.

That wasn't particularly surprising. If it were normal, it might have been strange to see a shaman in the depths of a volcano, but wasn't it the middle of a world martial arts competition?

Since it was a competition in which all the famous sects in the world of martial arts participated, it would not have been strange if a shaman master had brought his descendants to lead the way. It was not something like that that surprised him.

The old man's appearance brought to mind a person's nickname.

“Oh, by any chance?”

Wi Jeong-han didn't even realize that he was being rude. No matter who he was talking to, if he was a senior, he should have greeted them first, but he was so surprised that he didn't even think about it.

“Are you by any chance the Taegeuk Sword Master?”

The old man nodded quietly.

“That’s what they’re called.”

“Huh!”

Wi Jeong-han covered his own mouth.

Even though I had already prepared myself mentally to some extent, I couldn't help but be surprised.

It's called the Taegeuk Sword.

'Is this neighborhood full of legendary swordsmen?'

I understand why the Plum Blossom Sword Lord appears in a volcano. But even if it's a volcano, isn't it strange that the Taegeuk Sword Lord suddenly appears?

Are you saying that there is a meeting of the five great swordsmen here?

“Notary public? What does that mean?”

Plum Blossom Sword Lord tilted his head.

“Haha, that kid said he doesn’t trust his father. But if we become his notary public, wouldn’t he be able to trust him?”

“Oh my?”

Plum Blossom Sword Master smiled faintly as if it would be fun.

“That’s a good idea. Alright, Nodo and Taegeukgeomseon will be your notaries. If your father doesn’t keep his promise, we will announce to the world that your father broke his promise to his child.”

Wi Jeong-han waved his hand, sweating profusely.

“Seo, it goes as far as the seniors saying that…….”

“Why? It seems like you didn’t want to do that?”

“……That’s not it.”

It can't be said that it was a lie here. In fact, I had half the intention to keep it.

'Ugh.'

Wi Jeong-han whetted his appetite.

In fact, he also realized many things while listening to Wei San-ho. If you think about it, Wei Yan-ho has never had a moment of peace since the day he went missing.

But now that I have found my son again, I realize that instead of letting him rest in peace, they are dragging him here and there.

'I was so excited.'

I was worried that Wei Yanhu might gradually lose what he had learned. Even if he had mastered the world's best martial arts, if he lived a life like Wei Yanhu where he never left his bed for a few months, he would become dull and weak.

But then what?

He realized once again that what he wanted was not the best child in the world, but a healthy and happy child.

'But I didn't want to be forced into making a promise like this… … .'

Although Wi Jeong-han was licking his lips with a trembling expression, Mae-hwa-geom-jon spoke as if he had already made up his mind.

“I was told clearly that if I won, I wouldn’t be touched for half a year.”

"yes!"

“And the moment the tournament ends, you must share your sword with us.”

“I can do that much for you.”

Wi Yeon-ho opened his mouth wide and laughed.

'What the heck is this?'

If I could only guarantee a half-year break, I could do it ten times. But would it take ten days?

“Then now all I have to do is win.”

The plum blossom sword master's snort half escaped from the outside and then went back inside.

“Okay.”

I was going to scold him, saying, "You're talking as if you've left the victory up to me," but when I thought about it, it didn't make sense for this guy to be participating in the Later Index Non-Music Competition.

'Where did this monster come from?'

He didn't know exactly how skilled Wei Yanhu was. It was beyond the level that could be determined just by looking at it.

In fact, that alone is amazing. It's amazing enough. Even at the lowest level, it was a skill level that was comparable to that of an elder of a certain old school. And on top of that… … .

'That sword.'

Plum Blossom Sword Lord closed his eyes in a dizzying feeling.

A sword that looks like a joke.

If I had paid just a little less attention, I would have passed it by, thinking that it was just another kid practicing with poor skills.

The first swing made my heart pound, the second swing made my eyes go dark, and the third swing made my world shake.

'I hope it's not a mistake.'

That's not possible.

If only he had seen it, it could have been an illusion, but Taegeuk Sword Master showed an even more agitated reaction. It had been almost a hundred years since I had seen Taegeuk Sword Master, but it seemed like this was the first time he had seen such an agitated reaction… … What can I say?

A guy like that is participating in a martial arts match.

It seemed as if Plum Blossom Sword Lord could already see what would happen next.

'Come to think of it, this isn't a very good thing for the old faction, including the volcano… … .'

The moment Plum Blossom Sword Lord was about to say something, Wei Yanhu turned around.

"huh?"

Plum Blossom Sword Lord called out to Wi Yeon-ho with a blank expression.

“Where are you going?”

“Yes? Are you going to rest?”

“You’re resting?”

Wei Yanho turned his head and smiled brightly.

“Yes. Now that we’ve had six months, we should rest.”

“The results aren’t out yet?”

"no way."

Wei Yanhu waved his hand. There was really not a single speck of doubt on his face.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Hahahahaha!”

As I watched Wi Yeon-ho calmly waving his hand and walking away, I strangely felt uneasy.

“……Then I will go too.”

As even the wise man bowed his head and disappeared, the plum blossom swordsman looked at the Taegeuk swordsman with an anxious expression.

“I don’t know if I did the right thing.”

“Well done.”

"one……."

Plum Blossom Sword Lord, who was about to say something, shut his mouth tightly.

Even among the most casual acquaintances, it was not easy to say that the old guard would suffer a miserable fate because of that child's sincerity.

Aren't these words too common and worldly to come out of the mouth of the Plum Blossom Sword Master?

“It will just flow as it should.”

“It is natural…….”

“It is not wrong for a strong person to show his strength. If, on the contrary, that child does not show his strength, and other children do not know their place, wouldn’t that be a bigger problem?”

“Ugh.”

It was something I understood, but couldn't empathize with.

'The gap is too big.'

When you see someone who is better than you, you may be motivated if you have hope that they can somehow catch up, but if the gap is too big and you can't catch up, you may give up everything.

And the difference between Wei Yanhu and the other later indices reflected in the eyes of the Plum Blossom Sword Master was extreme.

“Which deceased person raised a child like that?”

“Well, I don’t know. The world is big and there are many eccentric people. One thing is certain….”

Taegeuk Swordsman trailed off slightly. Whether it was because he was unsure or embarrassed, everyone knew.

“If the person who taught that child passed on ‘the sword’ to that child, that person would never be below us.”

“I guess so.”

Plum Blossom Sword Master said as if he was very excited.

“If by any chance his master is alive, I would like to ask him for a favor.”

“That’s right.”

But the eyes of the Taegeuk Sword Master who answered were deeply sunken.

In the beginning, there was one, but that one divided into yin and yang, and the Supreme Ultimate was created. That was the principle of the world they lived in, and the starting point of shamanism.

'Even the investigation considered it limited in reproducing the Taegeuk.'

Because anything more than that is beyond what humans can do. That is why the investigation considered that achieving harmony between yin and yang was the limit to which humans could advance.

The sword wielded by Hana Wiyeonho went one step further.

Softness and strength are not in harmony, but rather are intertwined.

Coexistence, not harmony.

Unity, not harmony.

'Infinite… … .'

Wei Yanhu's sword should rather be called Hwanwon (還元).

'It's impossible.'

It was a sword that had a beginning but no end. It was merely a journey toward a place that could never be reached by a sword drawn by human hands.

but…….

One in a thousand, one in ten thousand… …if I could reach the tip of that sword?

It's unlikely, but what if we could reach it?

At that time… … .

The whole world will see it.

This is the advent of a true invincible being, who was previously thought to have never existed in the world.
