Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 1006

Episode 1005. Again. (5)

You can’t have everything. If you have something you absolutely must get, you have to be prepared to lose something.

And this moment of choice comes to all those who pursue the development of the sect.

In order to have a future for the sect, we must train disciples. And no matter what anyone says, the ones who can train disciples the best are the strongest in the sect.

Of course, just because you have a high level of skill doesn’t necessarily mean you can be a good teacher. This is because it’s easy for the so-called ‘Why can’t you do that?’ to happen.

But in any case, generally speaking, a person with a higher level of knowledge is bound to be a better teacher. It is the same principle that a person who climbs to the top of a mountain and looks down can easily show those climbing from below an easier path.

The problem is time, because time is limited.

Climbing to a high place demands a certain price. Furthermore, the mountain of Muhak becomes steeper the more you climb. Therefore, just maintaining your own level will inevitably consume a great deal of time and energy.

Those who climb such a steep terrain where the air is thin are usually mountaineers, but even they cannot carelessly extend a hand to a colleague who is falling just before reaching the summit. They know that if they make a mistake, they too will fall.

“Ughh …

My legs are shaking, my pupils are dilating on their own, my mouth is wide open and drool is flowing out.

But I can’t fall down.

“Try falling over.”

“… … .”

“I’ve been waiting for you, so please fall over. I’ll ask you this.”

Namgung Dan pushed his trembling legs with all his might. But this damn body just wouldn’t listen to him. No matter how much strength he tried to exert, it just swayed back and forth like a reed hit by a typhoon.

“Tsk tsk. Look at that leg turning. That little bastard, Inspector, can’t even handle his own body properly, dammit.”

Of course, that point was correct. A sword is something you hold in your hand and use by moving your body. In order to use a sword accurately, you must first be able to handle your body accurately.

But Namgung Dan also has an excuse.

‘This crazy kid! How can I… … in this situation?’

“Oh? It’s going over? It’s going over?”

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee.”

Namgung Dan desperately folded his legs.

At the same time, the boulder the size of a house on his back tilted.

“Tsk tsk.”

Cheongmyeong looked at the sight and said with a pitiful look.

“Anyway, these days, there are no platforms, no platforms. When I was young, I used to roll rocks this big up the mountain path for fun!”

‘Does that make sense, you crazy bastard!’

The sweat that had been streaming down my face seeped into my eyes and stung them.

It would have been better if he had just carried the rock. But unfortunately, Namgung Dan’s body was now dangling from large iron balls. In the midst of all that, carrying the rock and holding on without using any strength was an understatement.

“What? Will?”

“… … .”

“Anyway, you little brats are just talking. Do you think that mental strength is like poison that you put on your sword when you fight? It suddenly makes you stronger? This is when you use willpower, in times like this. When you’re training and you really feel like you’re going to pass out, when you feel like you’re going to faint! That’s when you have mental strength to hold on for just a moment longer.”

“Ugh… … .”

“So, don’t just talk, show me your mental strength… … .”

Kuung!

Before Cheongmyeong could even finish speaking, one of the people who had been holding on next to Namgung Dan fell forward.

A boulder rolls near him as he murmurs his words.

“… … This is really annoying, Assistant!”

“yes!”

“To the location!”

“yes!”

In the meantime, Jo-geol and Yoon-jong came running and grabbed the person who had fallen to the floor and dragged him away.

Are you going to the pharmacy?

Nonsense. Those who cannot endure the training will be sent to special training to strengthen their will. They will not be able to sleep tonight.

“Who can’t say that you work hard? It’s not your mouth that works hard, it’s your body. Right?”

Namgung Dan didn’t answer. No, to be precise, he didn’t have the capacity to answer.

Of course, that doesn’t mean he agrees with Cheongmyeong’s words. Rather, he is closer to seriously opposing them.

How can this kind of training help one in swordsmanship?

However, after seeing someone with the same idea throw down the rock on his back, talk back to Cheongmyeong, and get kicked all the way to the Yangtze River, Namgung Dan decided to forget how to think.

“I’ve never seen a kid who talks about mental strength survive for that long, you punk. After fighting for three days and nights, it’s not your sword hand that’s shaking, but your balls. Since we’re both unmanned, we both have good stamina. The only thing that gives you the strength to endure in the end is the training you’ve accumulated over time.”

“… … .”

“Precise swordsmanship? Pure history? That’s not something you can discuss at your level. Those who can’t even jump are trying to fly. Just shut up and be able to swing your sword one more time is the priority.”

Namgung Dan almost nodded without realizing it.

If he hadn’t experienced the Maehwado incident, he might have dismissed Cheongmyeong’s words as nonsense. However, he felt it on Maehwado. There was nothing wrong with what Cheongmyeong was saying now.

From the moment the battle lasted more than three days, there was no swordsmanship or swordplay. If you saw something, didn’t you instinctively stab it?

Perhaps this training also takes such things into account… … .

“Ah, seeing the kids pooping blood makes me feel like my blocked stomach is clearing out. Heheheehe.”

“… … .”

That can’t be true. That devil would never do that.

“Oh, my. My leg is falling over again. Push harder.”

“Ughhhhhhhhh.”

I wanted to cry, but no tears came out of my eyes, which were completely dry.

“… … .”

Namgung Myung broke out in a cold sweat as he watched the young swordsmen of Namgung Se-ga struggling while carrying a rock as big as a house on their backs.

“I…….”

Even Namgung Do-wi, who was at the very front, was staggering back and forth while carrying a rock twice as heavy as the others.

“What is this… … .”

As Namgung Myung was looking at the scene as if it was absurd, he heard a voice mixed with laughter in his ear.

“You seem embarrassed.”

“That, that’s right. That’s… … .”

Ungeom, standing next to Namgung Myung, quietly shook his head.

“It may seem like simple bullying, but that’s a process that even the disciples of the Volcano have gone through.”

“… … That?”

“yes.”

Ungeom added with a bitter smile.

“So, just wait and see. Since that child took the initiative himself, the effect will be certain.”

“no…….”

Namgung Myung looked at the training process with an expression that said he still couldn’t understand. Instead of saying anything more, Ungeom just smiled softly.

‘You’ll find out soon enough.’

And you will regret the fact that you are getting older.

Among those who survived in Maehwado now, those who are quite old are not included there. In the first place, Cheongmyeong has already removed all those who are of a suitable age.

It is not simply because they are difficult to handle or because it is inconvenient to teach the elderly. It is because those whose thoughts and muscles have already hardened have limitations in their development. Leading such people is not only a torture to both parties, but also not very effective.

So, he must have judged that it would be better for Namgung’s future to focus on teaching those whose bodies and minds were still soft.

‘It’s not just this person who feels sorry.’

If Ungeom had been born a little later, or at least had been able to become Baekja Bae, he might have become stronger than he is now.

‘It’s really a shame… … .’

“No. But this kid!”

Boom!

At that time, Cheongmyeong kicked Namgung Dan mercilessly.

“I said, straighten your back! Straighten your back! Don’t you understand what I’m saying? Are you trying to have a go at me right now? This damned thing is now making even Namgung’s kids suffer! Get up, you punk! You’re twice as bad today!”

“… … .”

No. I think it’s better for people to age appropriately.

At least if you want to hang out with that guy.

The same goes for learning.

The world of the absolute strong is a place where if you don’t constantly work hard and polish yourself, you will quickly rust, and if you go in the wrong direction, you could end up in trouble.

That is why almost all sects take care of the strong ones. They do not care about anything else and only focus on martial arts so that they can make the sect’s name shine.

As a result, those who are called the best masters of a certain sect only pass on their martial arts to a few disciples, and they rarely even meet the disciples who are far below them.

Because that is the way for the sect and the way for oneself.

Most prestigious schools are made up of a small number of absolute powerhouses and excellent disciples who support them and who have risen to the top of the martial arts world.

but…….

“Those kids with good fortune.”

Here, there is a human being who is completely excluded from such novel play.

Cheongmyeong sharpened his teeth and stuck them together.

Uncharted… …. No, it’s a bit awkward to say uncharted because there is a Heavenly Horse. In any case, a human who has reached a level that is so high that it almost touches the sky, and yet has regained an absurdly large amount of time, that is Cheongmyeong.

An unfortunate man who not only accumulated his own knowledge, but also had to wipe the snot of his clumsy young disciples and teach them everything from A to Z…

The Plum Blossom Sword Lord of the past did not pay much attention to his subordinates. In his eyes, which were even criticized by the four elder brothers for being lacking, there was no way that the likes of Myeongja Bae, who was far behind in terms of military service, would catch his eye. Distribution below him? Needless to say.

To put it more bluntly, the Hwasan that Cheongmyeong saw through his eyes was a sect filled with people who were no different from rolling stones, except for the extremely great Jangmun, Cheongmun, the clumsy Cheongjin who was only smart, and a few Cheongja ships who were somewhat useful.

Putting aside how much I later regretted that realization… … .

Anyway, how would it have felt when Qingming flew in a hundred years later and saw the volcano for the first time?

All he could do was somehow raise the little kids who he would not have paid attention to in the past into inspectors who would not fall behind anywhere.

So what this means is… … .

The training that the disciples of Hwasan have been doing up to now is a system that Cheongmyeong, who was the best swordsman in Hwasan and the best swordsman in the world before the war, and who had torn his martial arts skills from the ground up through countless actual battles while fighting the Demonic Cult, created with the sole purpose of raising his disciples to be useful.

What good can it do to describe its effectiveness?

While other great masters of similar caliber were creating new martial arts for the future of their sect, Cheongmyeong was wondering how he could draw out and extract even a little more of the tiny talents of these idiots.

While other masters were showing off their great power to the world, Cheongmyeong spent his days wondering how he could explain what he knew intuitively to fools who didn’t even understand how to use a sword.

That is why the training system he created boasts an absurd efficiency if it can be endured. It is enough to raise the disciples of Hwasan, a sect that was not even a third-rate one, into top-level swordsmen in the martial arts world in just a few years.

Yeah, if you can hold out.

If you can just hang in there.
