Episode 205
Martial arts are usually created when the world is in chaos.
Is that why?
The forms of martial arts often had their origins in killing someone.
The ancient martial arts of New Korea mentioned by Taehyeon were no different.
Numerous traditional martial arts that have been passed down since before the founding of New Korea.
The ancient martial art ‘Baekrang’ was created by combining only their strengths.
“Did you know that I… am a practitioner of ancient martial arts?”
Ji Jin-hee asked in a shaky voice.
It was because he didn’t know that the martial arts he trained would come out of Taehyun’s mouth.
“It would be more difficult to find a player among the players who does not know about the president of the association.”
It was true.
Ji Jin-hee is nothing short of living history as a new Korean player.
It was a time when there was no proper equipment.
It wasn’t enough to just block various breaks and gain momentum to advance into the Abyss.
We have now achieved an unprecedented golden generation.
Taehyun’s help was enormous in helping New Korea win the title as a great power.
If Ji Jin-hee wasn’t an S-class advanced player and an authentic practitioner of ‘White Wolf’, she wouldn’t have come this far.
“Umm…”
Ji Jin-hee fell silent, unlike her previous mood.
If a player like Taehyun were to learn the white wolf, it would be like giving wings to a tiger.
From the association president’s point of view, he actually wanted to recommend white wolf training.
but.
“Ancient martial arts are not that easy to learn…”
Ji Jin-hee said with a sigh.
The reason why many people who have awakened to physical strength do not learn ancient martial arts.
“To prepare for the backflow, you need to train for at least five years before your magical power is fully established. Moreover, the national power level has a lot of horsepower, so the risk of backflow is high.”
“It’s definitely not wrong.”
Taehyun sympathized with Ji Jinhee’s words.
Zhang Linfeng Cai Mingmin Zhengzhi.
These three people had been practitioners of the ancient Chinese martial art ‘Sanxia’ since childhood before they were national powerhouses.
Therefore, even after becoming a national force, it was not difficult to harmonize ancient martial arts and skills.
An understanding of martial arts is basic, and a training period that sharpens physical talent and bones.
These were essential items that an awakened person must prepare to use ancient martial arts in actual combat.
Just because you’ve experienced a technique a few times doesn’t mean you can imitate it.
Suddenly, a piece of information reported by Yoo Ah-young appeared in Ji Jin-hee’s mind.
[Kim Tae-hyun is believed to have learned ancient Chinese martial arts immediately after the Asian player friendly match. The teacher and training method are unknown.]
‘Is there some method?’
Ji Jin-hee’s head quickly turned as she still had a relaxed attitude.
“If it’s a matter of embodying it, there’s nothing to worry about.”
At that moment, Taehyun’s fist reached out to Ji Jinhee.
Developing the first form of ancient Chinese martial arts.
Although it is said that no force was applied.
It was powerful enough to blow away an S-rank player.
Ugh.
Ji Jin-hee’s hand blade swung in an instant and knocked Tae-hyeon’s fist aside.
It was Taebaek, the first form of the new Korean ancient martial art.
“First ceremony Taebaek. “Unlike Balgyeong, it is an effective technique in person-to-person combat.”
“….”
It wasn’t just a simple imitation.
Ji Jin-hee looked at her shaking hands.
and.
Taehyun’s straightened hand aimed at Ji Jinhee’s neck.
‘…!!’
Teong.
It wasn’t a sound that could have been made when hands and neck collided.
“New Korean ancient martial art, 3rd form Geumgang. “It’s really solid.”
Taehyun said, massaging my hand.
Although it was said to take away power, it was enough to knock down an S-class intermediate player.
Ji Jin-hee bounced off that attack without even flinching.
“Taehyun’s ability to learn is… amazing.”
It is a sloppy movement compared to that of the successors.
However, it was not something to look at lightly.
“One action is more effective than a thousand words. “I hope the president of the association will be my teacher.”
“….”
Looking at Ji Jin-hee, who was worried.
Taehyun smiled brightly.
* * *
“It’s not impossible….”
Ji Jin-hee trailed off in response to Tae-hyun’s question.
It doesn’t mean it can’t be done.
Rather, if Taehyun can learn ancient martial arts in a short period of time, it will be a great strength boost for New Korea.
However, Ji Jin-hee’s past mistakes held her back.
“Taehyun. An ancient martial art of New Korea. “Can I ask why you want to learn White Lang?”
Even though she already guessed the reason, Ji Jin-hee deliberately asked again.
“Min Ji-hong. There is no harm in knowing the enemy’s technology.”
Taehyun answered, recalling his previous battle in the Abyss.
The ancient Chinese martial art, Sanxia, does not have a good compatibility with the new Korean ancient martial art, Baekrang.
If he hadn’t grown since that day, Taehyun would have easily won.
‘Then there’s no way it would have come to the forefront like this.’
You are confident.
That he would be able to win if he faced Taehyun one-on-one.
So Taehyun also had no choice but to prepare.
‘More than anything, the white wolf has a lot in common with Sanxia.’
While Taehyun was thinking that, Ji Jinhee sighed again.
The ancient martial arts of each country are passed down in a closed manner as they possess outstanding killing power.
And Ji Jin-hee did not have the ‘qualifications’ to teach Tae-hyeon.
“I may not be able to teach it directly, but… I will contact the elders right away.”
“thank you.”
“There are only three days left until the day the shadow demands. “Is it possible?”
This is an impossible requirement according to common sense.
but.
“One day is enough.”
Something like a training period for Taehyun.
It wasn’t a problem.
* * *
That day.
At the request of the head of the New Korea Players Association, dozens of foreigners visited the guild on Onsaemi.
Baekrang, a new Korean ancient martial art.
There were ten elders representing the sect and ten first-generation disciples.
“Fuck you. “Why are you fucking here again?”
Kwon Kang-hyuk muttered as if he did not like the people lined up in the sparring hall.
“It can’t be helped, right? “Our guild’s barrier is the strongest.”
Deputy guild leader Kim Hye-yeon sighed and said, seeing Kwon Kang-hyuk still looking the same.
“More than that, the guild leader, please cooperate. “It’s a matter of life or death for Guild Master Yoo Ah-young.”
“Tsk….”
Kwon Kang-hyuk turned his head.
This happened because they were unable to capture the shadow alive.
All that could be done now was to provide a place for Taehyun’s training, which was stipulated as a condition of the deal.
“Ancient martial arts are not a kid’s joke… How can you learn them in one day…”
“Guild leader!”
“Ah Okay. I knew. “I tell them to spend as much as they want.”
Kwon Kang-hyuk grumbled and headed toward the exit.
Taehyun, who was watching from afar, chuckled.
It was a meeting that took place less than two hours after meeting Ji Jin-hee.
The more time you save, the better.
“ruler. “Then shall we get started?”
At Taehyeon’s words, a representative of the ten elders stepped forward.
“Player Kim Tae-hyun. “I’ve known you since you called us here, but… you still have such an arrogant attitude.”
“I believe the conversation with the association president has already ended.”
Taehyun didn’t care and said while stretching.
The other elders followed suit and shouted.
“Such a disrespectful attitude towards the elder!!”
“Are you having the guts to trust the president of the association, Ji Jin-hee?!!”
“There is no way we would leak funds to you without going through the proper procedures!!”
“The spirit of ancient martial arts cannot be understood by those who only believe in skills and magic!!”
“bloke!! “There is a degree to which a young person can play!!”
Each person’s expression was different, but what they wanted to say was clear.
The ancient martial arts cannot be taught to Taehyeon, who is not the official successor.
So bow your head properly and show respect.
I feel like I want to use my ‘skills’ right away and put pressure on them.
However, it would have been an inconvenience to Ji Jin-hee, who had worked hard to provide a seat for her.
Taehyun quietly opened his mouth.
“I was deeply moved by your patheticness.”
“What what?!!”
“Hey player Taehyun Kim!!”
“Just because it’s at the national power level doesn’t mean there’s nothing visible!!”
This time, not only the elders but also the ten disciples who had been silent vomited their anger together.
“It’s noisy.”
Quaaaaaaaaa.
Taehyun unleashed his magical power.
I flinch.
The sparring hall was instantly filled with magical power.
Taehyun is known internationally for his heroic image.
Is that why?
The faces of the twenty warriors stiffened at the unexpected action.
Because of the closed transmission method, even an elder is a grade A player.
Moreover, his direct disciples were so focused on training that they could not even acquire a player license.
There was no way to deal with an angry national power company.
Jerk.
Taehyun took a step towards them.
“I’ll give you a choice.”
“What…!!”
One of the elders asked instinctively.
Taehyun smiled brightly at him.
“If you show off your old-fashioned spirit, you will be beaten and kneeled down.”
“hey!!”
“That’s harsh!!”
Taehyun continued speaking without hesitation.
“Or at least take care of your pride against me wearing restraints.”
“…!!”
Jerk.
Another step.
Taehyun approached them.
Eventually, when the distance reached five steps, Taehyun released his magic power.
“The choice is free. All you have to do is take responsibility.”
Sigh.
There was silence as he smiled evilly.
“Fuck… it’s still bloody.”
Kwon Kang-hyuk, who was watching this from the exit, swore.
* * *
The bloody confrontation did not last long.
This is because the elder took Taehyun’s bait.
“Did you say restraints?”
“That’s right.”
“Does that mean you want to be tested with limited physical abilities as well as magical power?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
As Taehyun bowed and entered, the other elders cheered the mood.
“Huh… Now that I see it, I don’t think he really just got his money back.”
“That’s right. There is no way a hero of the national power would threaten us.”
“cancer. Anyway. Ha ha ha ha ha.”
To protect their last pride, they took a bite of the bait Taehyeon had spread.
“Now then, let’s set a specific number. “I heard from the president of the association, Ji Jin-hee, that you don’t have much time.”
“yes. “I have my next mission scheduled, so I hope to take the test as soon as possible.”
Sigh.
The corner of the elder’s mouth rose.
“Then it would be simple. Give me a moment. “It won’t take long.”
Nine elders gathered around the elder and exchanged words among themselves.
As he said, it didn’t take long.
“Have you decided?”
Taehyun asked the elder.
The elder smiled and nodded.
“okay. With your physical ability limited to 30, you must withstand a series of attacks from your immediate disciples. “If you use magical power or raise your physical abilities, you will be considered eliminated.”
“….”
Looking at Taehyun, who seemed lost in thought for a moment, the elder’s expression became energetic.
“That is our condition. “Would it be difficult?”
It is said that his direct disciples have not yet obtained a player license.
They were people who demonstrated a physical ability level of 50 using only ancient martial arts.
Even if it is a national power level, it is natural that it will not be able to withstand the heat combined with limited skill and magical physical abilities.
‘Hehe. With a physical ability level of 30, it would be difficult to withstand even a single sum.’
It was when the elder was enjoying his victory.
“Didn’t I tell you? “I don’t have time.”
“hmm? As I said, the conditions change….”
“To ten direct disciples. Ten elders. Let’s all attack at once.”
“….”
“Are you scared?”
At Taehyun’s provocation.
The elders’ faces began to turn red.
