Genius Martial Arts Trainer Chapter 318

◈ Soul (2)

Mujin, who felt awkward for no reason, quickly opened his mouth.

“Ahem. Anyway, so you’re planning on going back to Xingang after you’ve achieved enlightenment?”

“That’s right. I can’t remain an apostate forever.”

“Hmm. If we can utilize the conflict between the Doga and Hwanga, and even drag in the Sword Family, which has no successor, then it could definitely be possible.”

Just as Ilgongja and Igongja had deep connections with Taoism and Hwanga, Sakongja had deep connections with Kwonga.

And the third and fifth princesses were also women, and they openly declared that they were not interested in the position of the Heavenly Horse.

On the other hand, Geomga had no connection with the candidates for successor. It was only natural.

The current Cheonma, who is obsessed with money and lives in seclusion, is a man whose maternal family is Geomga.

Even though it was still an underdeveloped era compared to modern times, ‘direct incest’ was still prohibited.

“In particular, since the current Cheonma has a deep connection with the Geomga, if you make it the excuse that the current Cheonma was made by the Left and Right Guardians, it won’t be that difficult to attract them.”

In fact, in Part 1 of the novel, Guyangpae used this excuse to lure in Geomma, the leader of the Geomga clan.

“In the first place, there is no evidence for the swordsman, and the fight for succession is fierce, so he is just holding back. Because deep down, he is suspicious of those two.”

Gu Yang-pae nodded at Mu-jin’s advice, but other thoughts crossed his mind.

‘As expected. There must be a Shaolin spy within the school.’

There was no other reason for him to know such detailed internal circumstances.

But he didn’t notice because he was only concerned about Mujin.

The Shaolin and shaman’s disciples who were listening to the story were also surprised at how Mujin knew such things.

“So, is the work finally finished?”

Mujin, who intuitively felt that it was time to go back, said this and turned around.

When the disciples of Shaolin and the shaman who were listening to the conversation between Mujin and Guyangpae nodded their heads.

Hye-geol, who seemed to be thinking about something with a complicated expression, carefully opened his mouth.

“Your Majesty, I have a request.”

“Tell me.”

When Hyun-Hyeon answered with a puzzled expression, Hye-Geol closed his eyes for a moment to calm his mind and said.

“I think it would be a good idea for Muyul and I to stay in Namman for a while.”

“Can you tell me why?”

“… …It’s because of the martial arts.”

“Martial arts?”

When Hyun-Hyeon asked again with an expression of still not understanding, Hye-Geol looked at his grandson, Mu-Yul, and answered.

“When I asked Mu-ryul, he said that among the martial arts of the Beast Palace located here in Nam-man, there were many that were modeled after animals.”

“… … It’s very similar to Shaolin Five Martial Arts.”

“Yes. So, I’m thinking about going to the Namman Beast Palace and exchanging martial arts skills with them.”

“Is there really a need for that? You have already memorized all the essentials of the Shaolin Five Martial Arts, and aren’t the secrets of the Shaolin Five Martial Arts also in Shaolin?”

Mujin, who had been listening to their conversation for a while, opened his mouth out of curiosity.

“Is it because of the Dragon Fist? Hye-geol Sa-suk-jo.”

To Mujin’s question, Hye-geol nodded.

Shaolin Five Martial Arts were martial arts based on the shapes of five animals: crane, snake, leopard, tiger, and dragon.

Hye-geol passed on the Ho-kwon to Mu-yul, but he was unable to pass on the Yong-kwon.

And Mujin could easily guess the reason.

“I… I don’t know what Mu-ryul said, but what’s in the Namman Beast Palace isn’t a dragon, it’s a snake.”

Although Hye-geol went to great lengths to catch a tiger and teach Mu-ryul how to fight, he had no way of catching a dragon.

That was what Mujin had guessed, but the answer he got was unexpected.

“I know.”

“… … I know, but why do you want to go to the Beast Palace?”

“I am stupid. I have been practicing Shaolin Five Martial Arts for the past several decades and have been caught up in wrong preconceptions.”

“???”

When Hye-geol suddenly blurted out something that sounded like a Zen question, Mu-jin made a puzzled expression.

But regardless, Hye-geol continued speaking.

“The preconception that all meanings are contained in the letters. In the first place, the Shaolin Five Books were meant to be based on the shapes of animals, so when you delve into the letters instead of the animals, it is only natural that progress will be slow.”

In fact, one of the reasons Hye-geol couldn’t teach Yong-kwon to Mu-ryul was not because he couldn’t catch a dragon.

This was because Hye-geol himself had not yet properly mastered the Yong-kwon.

I had reread the manual countless times and had memorized all the key points, but I couldn’t properly unfold it.

Even without that, Muyul’s mind is as clear as a blank sheet of paper.

It was impossible to teach Muhak, which even Hye-geol himself could not properly understand, to such a person.

“More than anything, Yongkwon is a martial art that deals with the energy of the river. I wondered if Muyul could truly understand and deal with the energy of the river as the ‘five natures’, and I thought that if things continued this way, the transmission of Yongkwon might end.”

While Ho-Kwon only uses a few of his later moves to deal with strong energy, Yong-Kwon uses all of his moves to utilize strong energy.

Hye-geol, who had not yet reached the level of freely controlling the power of the sword, was eventually blocked at the beginning of the dragon sword.

But even after hearing the whole story, questions still remained.

“But, there’s no dragon in the Beast Palace anyway, so isn’t it meaningless?”

“Hahaha. We don’t even know if dragons really exist in this world, so how could we possibly think of seeing one? In the first place, the dragons that the ancients talked about were a combination of several animals. They had snake scales, four legs, deer horns, and cow ears.”

“ah…….”

Only after hearing that did Mujin understand what Hye-geol was trying to say.

“Do you plan on studying all the animals and martial arts in the Southern Wild Beast Palace and combining the strengths of various animals to create a new dragon fist?”

Only then did Hye-geol nod.

“That’s right. Rather than just reading the secrets in Shaolin, it seems like a more realistic way for Mu-ryul to understand the forms of hundreds of animals and unleash their martial arts simultaneously.”

In short, it was a path chosen for the sake of Mu-ryul, not for oneself.

Hyun-Hyeon also nodded after realizing Hye-Geol’s intention.

“If that’s the reason, I will tell my head monk, so don’t worry and head to the Beast Palace.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Hye-geol, who had paid tribute to Hyun-hyeon as the class president, moved his steps this time and approached Guyangpae.

“Ahem. I’m sure you’ve heard the story, but I have a favor to ask. Could you show me the way to the Beast Palace?”

In fact, the reason Hye-geol hesitated and worried was not because he was the only one left.

It was an awkward situation where I had to ask the cultists to go to the Beast Palace and to hire an interpreter.

But despite Hye-geol’s worries, Goo-yang-pae readily accepted the request.

“In addition to guiding you, I will provide someone to stay with you at the Beast Palace and act as an interpreter while you two are there.”

Because they had received so much help from Mujin and Shaolin, Guyangpae wanted to pay off their debt even a little.

‘Somehow I have a feeling that if I accumulate debt to Shaolin Shenlong, I’ll be in big trouble later.’

Goo Yang-pae accepted Hye-geol’s request and glanced at Mu-jin as if he were looking at an evil spirit.

Hye-geol, Mu-ryul, and Mu-jin left Nanman and headed toward Yunnan Province under the guidance of the Red Tiger Unit provided by Guyangpae.

And when the Mujin party left Nanman after a journey of several days and passed through Yunnan Province and headed towards Sichuan.

“Incompetent guy.”

On one side of the dark cave, there was a man looking down coldly at the lowered head of the Socheonju.

“… … I’m sorry, Father.”

Thanks to the man who was scolding her, Socheonju, who had barely managed to control her danjeon that had started to run wild, apologized in a crawling voice.

The man called Abi by the Lord of the Small Heaven. The Lord of the New Heaven, the Lord of Heaven, spoke in a blunt tone.

“Do you know what your sin is and are you confessing it?”

“… … I left the cave without my father’s and Inju’s permission.”

“Tsk. Not only are you incompetent, you’re also stupid. It doesn’t matter that you left the cave.”

“… … ?”

As the little lord made a face of incomprehension, the lord spoke with a pitiful expression on his face.

“If you disobeyed my orders and moved forward, you should have at least achieved some results. Instead of achieving any results, you ended up ruining things even more. If you weren’t the Socheonju, I would have personally cut off your head.”

At the gaze of the Heavenly Lord who was looking at him as if he was looking at an insect, the Little Heavenly Lord quickly lowered his head and apologized again.

“sorry.”

Even though he was cowering before those cold eyes, Socheonju did not know.

The fact that the way God looks at you is the same way you look at others.

“Wait here for the elixir to arrive. Don’t move around uselessly and ruin things.”

At the declaration that he would be trapped in this cave again, Socheonju opened his mouth despite his fear.

“… … However, recently, Inju’s plans have not been carried out properly.”

When I was young, I was always afraid of my father, but not anymore.

Because now that he was older, he knew that his father could torment him but not kill him.

The Little Heavenly Lord and the Heavenly Lord were learning the same martial arts. And in order to perfect the martial arts they had learned, they had to absorb countless elixirs.

I’m talking about children with special constitutions who harbor extreme yang or extreme yin energy.

But such children were not very common even in the vast Central Plains.

Maybe it would have been different if Socheonju had been young.

It was said that even for Shincheon, who had enormous power, it was not easy to discard a small celestial being that had already consumed countless elixirs and raise a new small celestial being.

In response to the answer of his son and successor, So Cheon-ju, Cheon-ju raised his eyebrows once, but in the end, instead of attacking So Cheon-ju, he opened his mouth and answered.

“Don’t worry. The landlord himself took action.”

“… … I understand, father.”

This time, instead of answering, Socheonju leaned down and answered, and Cheonju stood for a moment and looked down at Socheonju.

For a moment, a suffocating silence fell, making it feel like they weren’t rich at all.

The little lord, who had been bowing down as if he was bowing, realized that he could no longer see the feet of the lord, so he carefully raised his head.

The little celestial being who had already reached a high level did not even sense any movement.

Before we knew it, God had left the cave and we couldn’t even see his shadow.

When So Cheon-ju confirmed that her father had completely left, she finally let out all the emotions she had been suppressing.

Around his body, a terrible murderous aura surged along with a massive wave of energy.

“Shaolin Divine Dragon. I will definitely tear that bastard to pieces with my own hands.”

It was a suppressed and condensed murderous intent, as he did not know what terrible punishment he would receive if he showed his will to live in front of his father.

Although he had been defeated by the Shaolin Dragon once, Socheonju was confident that he could kill the Shaolin Dragon if he met it again.

In the first place, he had overwhelmed Shaolin Shenlong in their previous fight.

The only problem was that the elixir that had been hastily absorbed had caused the problem.

The first attempt to escape from the cave ended in failure, and he suffered such humiliation from his father. He had to avenge this with his own hands.

‘The landlord will definitely be after the Shaolin Dragon. If he spends too long in the cave, he might be a step too late.’

As he was the one who had interfered with Shincheon’s plans several times, his name would definitely be written on the list of those who had gone out to the world of martial arts.

And the landlord was the strongest man in the Shincheon dynasty, aside from the Heavenly Lord. Even stronger than himself, who had absorbed countless elixirs as a minor Heavenly Lord.

For the landlord, killing a weaker Shaolin Dragon was no different from twisting a child’s wrist.

The gaze of the little monk who had thought that far naturally turned towards the direction where the light was seeping in.

A fact I knew in my head, but was unable to confirm because of fear.

When he realized that his father could not kill him, he decided to wait for an opportunity to leave the cave again.
