Chapter 137: Lazy, Lazy (1)

“Is that okay?”

“……What can’t be done?”

“No, but still…….”

“Haven’t I already told you this many times? Wi Yeon-ho can absorb the inner strength of others.”

“Of course, but…….”

Saga couldn't help but nod. This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. It had already been mentioned when rescuing the Green Forest King and when treating the Tang family members.

but…….

“Are you saying that it is possible on such a large scale?”

“If we become one, there is no way we won’t become many.”

“No, it’s easier said than done…….”

Saga's face became blank.

Now Gwanggu Shingae was talking nonsense.

'That's not what the human body is like.'

How is it any different from saying that a person can drink a glass of wine and then pour all the wine in a large jar into his stomach?

Humans can't do that.

As Saga looked blank, Gwanggu Shingae chuckled.

“Don’t you understand?”

“Yes. I guess.”

"Don't overthink it. Your thoughts certainly weren't that far off. No matter how strong you are, absorbing that kind of energy is no easy feat."

“That seems obvious.”

Saga's thinking was correct.

Accepting the internal forces within the body is not an easy task.

Even the elixirs that would turn their eyes red if discovered by the martial artists were not easily absorbed. In some ways, accepting an uncontrollable inner power within the body was more dangerous than drinking poison.

That is why each sect puts effort into creating a method of internal energy that can safely and efficiently make external energy their own, and instead of taking elixirs as is, they refine them and create them into single pills.

But, instead of that kind of external energy, you absorb the internal energy of someone else who has a completely different nature?

It was something that was logically impossible.

Even if it is possible to somehow endure a situation where the number is small, isn't this different from the unit of numbers?

“Yes. But Wei Yanho was able to do that.”

“Why?”

"That guy was already harboring a greater energy within him than he could ever absorb. He doesn't have any particular difficulty holding a vast amount of energy, different from his own."

“…….”

Baek Muhan's inner thoughts.

The crazy Saga's eyes widened as he thought about it.

'No, this is… … .'

Is this how it is?

“Ha, but Baek Muhan’s internal organs don’t cause any harm to Wi Yeonho’s body…….”

"Even so, it's still a burden. Do you know what it means to live with an unswallowable energy in your stomach?"

"……surely."

"Moreover, that energy is greater and purer than the combined power of a thousand warriors. Even the Dragon's Yeouiju wouldn't be able to contain that much energy. Wi Yeon-ho is already accustomed to absorbing powerful external forces internally."

“So, did you succeed?”

"hmm……."

Gwanggu Shingae hesitated for a moment.

“Success, success… well, I don’t know what to say about it.”

"yes?"

“……That’s really strange.”

Gwanggu Shingae chuckled. Thinking back, it seemed to imply that it was absurd.

“What on earth is going on?”

“It’s not that great, but anyway.”

Gwanggu Shingae shrugged.

“You’ll know when you hear it.”

* * *

Wei Yanhu is accustomed to receiving external energy.

Well, that's not wrong.

But being familiar with something and being able to do it perfectly are not the same thing.

huh?

No, well, it's not like it failed.

Anyway, there's something like that. It was a success, but the question is whether it can be considered a success.

Huh? What did you say?

success?

You seem to be mistaken… … .

From the beginning, this was a question of how to treat them, how to save them, not whether Wei Yanhu could properly absorb their power.

No, that's right… … .

Ahem, anyway, isn't this something that needs to be resolved?

Even though it looked a bit weird, if the result was good, then everything is good.

… …What happened?

That's what I'm saying… … .

that is…….

“…….”

Wi Jeong-han looked at Wi Yeon-ho with rotten eyes.

Perhaps, at this very moment, Wi Jeong-han should be very moved.

Great sacrifice.

And the great agreement.

His son, Wei Yan-ho, has now accomplished this great feat that even he could not dare to imitate.

This is the moment I have longed for so long.

If you ask him what his one regret in life is, Wi Jeong-han would answer without a moment's hesitation that it was not being able to raise Wi Yeon-ho as a knight.

Of course, even if that wasn't the case, there were countless things he regretted. But everything else was something he could somehow fix.

But Wei Yanhu is different.

The Wei Dynasty could no longer control this lazy bum. The best course of action was to prevent him from causing trouble.

If only Wi Jeong-han had guided Wi Yeon-ho onto the right path a little earlier, perhaps the current situation might have been a little different. How many times have I regretted that?

But then, that kind of Wi Yeon-ho changed.

Even though Wi Jeong-han tried to stop him, he took it upon himself to save those people. Isn't this something the Wei Yan-ho of the past would have never imagined?

Of course! Of course!

Wei Yanhu didn't save people with completely pure intentions. Even Wei Zhenghan acknowledges that.

But where in the world is there such a thing as perfect purity?

Even Wei Zhenghan, who was given the extravagant nickname "Jeonghyeop Sword," could never claim, even after death, that he acted solely on the basis of negotiation for the benefit of others. The moment such perfect purity is discussed, no one in the world will dare to speak of cooperation.

Even for Wi Jeong-han, who had the strictest standards when it came to negotiations, what Wi Yeon-ho did was negotiation itself.

How can we not praise him for saving people without calculating his own sacrifice and loss?

however…….

I have to praise you… … .

“Uh, really…….”

Jang Il's irritated voice is heard.

“Amitabha… Buddha. Amitabha Buddha, Ami!”

It was also quite strange that dislike sounded like an insult.

“It really is a mixed bag.”

Even Peng Do-geuk, who should have been more impressed by Wi Yeon-ho's agreement than anyone else, was frowning.

and…….

“Ah, no… well, isn’t that something you could call the price of negotiation?”

At least, Zhuge Liang was desperately defending Wei Yanhu. But his voice lacked any strength.

Everyone knows.

Wei Yanhu did nothing wrong. He did his best. What he accomplished here today is truly heroic and deeply sacrificial.

No one could deny that fact.

But if you look at Wei Yanhu's appearance now, no one will be able to praise him as a hero.

“Ah… ah.”

Wi Yeon-ho groaned.

And with that groan, the faces of those watching also became distorted.

“I’m going to roll, I’m going to roll.”

“No, it seems like it’s going to explode before then?”

“Either way, it won’t end well.”

Jang-il stretched out his finger.

Kook, kook.

The place where his fingers touched went in.

“Ha, don’t do that! It’ll explode!”

“……It might be better if it explodes.”

Jang Il sighed deeply as he looked at Wi Yeon-ho in front of him.

What was before his eyes was clearly Wei Yanhu. However, it was a little different from the Wei Yanhu that Jang Il had known until now.

This huge, swollen, round thing had already lost its human form.

“No, Inma!”

Jang-il finally couldn't stand it anymore and screamed!

“How can a person suddenly turn into a pig just because he has consumed internal energy?”

"Amitabha! Donor, be careful with your words. That's an insult to pigs. This is not a state that can be called a pig."

“Ugh!”

Jang Il, who was pushed aside by logic, clutched his heart.

Yet, his eyes could not leave Wei Yanhu.

Wei Yanho's body was swollen to the point where it looked like it might burst at any moment. It was so swollen that his limbs were buried, making his entire body appear round. If he were to be kicked like this, he wouldn't be able to stop himself. He'd probably roll all the way out of the compound.

Wi Yeon-ho wasn't like this from the beginning.

When I first started absorbing the energy, it was just slightly swollen. But as I absorbed more and more energy, it started to swell more and more.

“You should have eaten in moderation!”

“……Then are you just going to leave the rest alone?”

“Digest it and eat it again, Inma!”

Wi Jeong-han sighed deeply as he watched the two bickering even in this situation.

'I'd rather die than be sick.'

How did it end up like this?

"What kind of history is that? It's the first time I've ever heard of someone swell up because I sucked up their history! Hey, Inma! You should live like a human! Like a human! Last time you were dyed black, and now you're swelled up?"

Wi Yeon-ho felt very wronged.

“It’s not like I wanted to do that…….”

“Ugh.”

Jang-il clutched his head.

“There’s nothing that can be solved normally!”

It is clear that Wei Yanhu did a great job.

'It wasn't even a person.'

After absorbing their inner strength and healing them, he would rush back, knocking down those who were having fits and sucking their inner strength again. It sounds easy, but how many people in this world could actually do that?

“But to be honest…….”

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth.

“Wasn’t it too simple?”

"huh?"

Everyone's gaze turned to Zhuge Liang. Wei Yanhu also turned around to look at Zhuge Liang. The sight was truly jarring to Jang Il, but this time he didn't bother to point out Wei Yanhu.

"what?"

“I mean, take them down.”

Zhuge Liang pointed to those lying in one place with a nod. Wei Yanhu had sucked their internal energy, but their weakened energy hadn't returned, and none of them had yet regained consciousness.

"I think you've accomplished something remarkable. I truly thought you were a master. But when I think about it calmly, was it really this easy?"

Wi Jeong-han's eyes narrowed.

“Is there a problem?”

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

Zhuge Liang shook his head.

“What I’m trying to say is… even though you are my lord, you subdued them too easily.”

At those words, Jang Il and Musan also nodded.

“That’s definitely true.”

“It was a bit strange.”

The scene is vivid in Jang Il's mind.

'It was so absurd.'

Every time Wei Yanhu emitted a radiant light, everyone fell down. At first, I thought it was amazing, but looking back, it was incredibly strange.

“No, just a moment.”

Wi Jeong-han narrowed his eyes.

“The conversation seems to be flowing strangely now. Are you saying that our Yeonho is up to some trick?”

Zhuge Liang pointed his finger at Wei Yanhu.

Degul.

Looking at Wei Yanhu rolling on the floor, Zhuge Liang quietly opened his mouth.

“……Who is it?”

“…….”

That can never happen!

It was a moment of understanding for everyone.
