Chapter 260
Concentration is the power that helps you focus on something. At least in the common sense of the common people.
But what about non-human beasts? fleeting moment. It was concentration that ended the life of the prey and decided victory or death.
Can a sense close to that instinct be said to be concentration?
However, Shin Yoo-seong’s concentration was a realm far beyond even the instinctive senses of the beasts.
‘Did I aim for the blind spot?’
Wedge-!
For example, a blind spot in the field of vision that cannot be responded to with moving vision. A sharp stabbing aiming for that place.
However, Shin Yooseong could feel the shape.
how to wield a sword
what are you aiming for
what is its length
No, maybe it was more than that.
‘I think I understand.’
Shin Yooseong was reading Ryujin’s mind right now. It was possible to know what the opponent wanted just by avoiding the opponent’s sword.
Wedge-!
For example, the stab you just saw isn’t real. It’s just to close the distance by pressing the opponent with a simple attack.
Booung-!
Ryujin’s goal was the next gust of wind.
Fire!
The gust of wind created by releasing mana shattered the surrounding trees and devastated the area.
Although his posture would collapse, Shin Yoo-seong stood upright in his seat and looked at Ryu-jin.
This transcendent sense was the meaning of the word concentration to Yoosung Shin.
but.
fault!
Shin Yoo-seong reached out his hand, narrowing the distance in an instant. However, Ryujin got out of the distance with a concise movement, as if she had read the attack like Shin Yuseong.
The sense of déjà vu Shin Yoo-seong felt right now was not simply because of his concentration.
‘This.’
okay.
The feeling of deja vu I felt from the beginning.
Shin Yooseong knew. The way Ryu Jin aims for the opponent’s gap and the way he responds to attacks are very similar to himself.
‘Maybe it’s a matter of course.’
Shin Yoo-seong’s teacher was Yoo Won-hak.
Of course, the foundation of the teaching is the experience of yuwonhak. Then, who would be the opponent that was so strong that the King of Kings would hone his skills?
Perhaps the king’s teachings were influenced by the strongest hunter he faced.
And the opponent is definitely the swordsman.
Sureung-
Let Ryujin aim the sword.
Shin Yoo-seong focused on the opponent’s posture and kept his distance naturally.
It was as if an intangible string had been carved between the two.
A battle like a tug-of-war, aiming for the opponent’s gap and not giving one’s distance
“…You move as if you know my distance. Is it just your gut feeling?”
In the end, when Ryujin asked curiously.
Shin Yoo-seong smiled when he remembered the teachings of Yu Won-hak.
“no. It’s not intuition. I can see your street now.”
okay.
This is a skill that I have been steadily learning since I entered Mt. Musin. how can i forget
[this guy! It’s not good to just rush in! Yoosung, do you know what is the most important thing in dealing with a sword?]
Of course, when you first heard Yu Wonhak’s teachings, Shin Yooseong answered with his eyes shining brightly.
[You have to be careful with the sword. It’s so sharp that it hurts if you cut it!]
However, since I wasn’t a child then, Shin Yoo-seong was able to answer confidently.
‘The most important thing in dealing with a sword is distance.’
It wasn’t just applied to the sword. The same was true when dealing with spears. What is distance in weapons?
[The sword is a weapon after all. All weapons have a purpose for which they were made, and the habit of the person who handles them always remains.]
Yoo Won-hak stretched out his hand and pressed Shin Yoo-seong’s forehead and said.
Tok-
[If my fingers were spears, what distance would be most advantageous to me? Of course you can aim at the tip of the spear! Wouldn’t it be just this distance?]
Shin Yoo-seong, who was still young, exclaimed with his eyes shining, and Yu Won-hak said this.
[Then, what do you do to beat the spear?]
The longer the distance, the better the spear against the martial artist. If you kept your territory and approached little by little, the opponent could not help but feel the pressure from the long distance of the spear.
Then the method is simple.
[I will avoid the spear and stick close!]
It’s just a matter of sticking close so you can’t swing the spear.
[yes. But the opponent knows that too, so they won’t easily distance themselves!]
But.
[Then what would you do if the opponent was holding a sword?]
The sword was a useful weapon for cutting, not stabbing. Even if the attack failed, the number was much faster than the spear.
[I don’t know!]
To young Shin Yoo-seong, a weapon called a sword seemed to have no flaws. But, after all, it is people who handle weapons.
[good night. Then try changing your mind. Just like monsters have their own characteristics. Hunters have their own characteristics. If it’s a hunter whose strength is a characteristic, how will he deal with it?]
If such a hunter uses a sword, it must be a huge greatsword that can use 100% of its strength.
The greatsword is obviously destructive, but given its heavy mass and great power, it was bound to give up its speed.
[We will aim after the opponent fails to attack!]
[Yes! After all, it is people who use weapons. It’s not difficult to use it against you if you know what kind of advantage your opponent chose the sword for.]
Shin Yuseong didn’t know what kind of swordsmanship the sword god’s sword was. He knew how Yu Won-hak tried to counter the swordsman’s swordsmanship.
“…You can see my street?”
That’s why Shin Yuseong was able to confidently nod at Ryujin’s question. Shin Yuseong seemed to be able to see the shadow of the swordsman over Ryujin’s shoulder.
“I am very familiar with that swordsmanship.”
The trajectory of repeated training.
Through that time, Shin Yoo-seong saw Ryu Jin’s sword path, which he faced for the first time.
As if warning, an almost infinite number of red incontinence drawn in the air was warning Shin Yoo-seong.
“An interesting story, if not bravado.”
Jin Ryu intended to play the game as safely as possible, but changed his mind. Shin Yoo-seong could intuitively know that he was the opponent he had to put all his strength into.
“Can I ask you a question?”
It was very rare for Ryujin, who was indifferent to anyone, to throw out such words. Maybe Ryujin wanted to check.
“Kwon Kwon. What kind of teacher was he to you?”
Will Shin Yuseong really have the same feelings for Kwon Wang that he has for the Sword God? Do you doubt and resent the same as yourself?
Shin Yuseong thought with a very serious face despite the unexpected question.
It was very difficult to determine and explain Yuwonhak to Shin Yoo-seong.
Yoo Won-Hak was a teacher who helped Shin Yoo-seong take the first step in the dull gray life of giving up on his dreams, and he was the one who taught him many things he hadn’t learned before.
Even if he stayed up all night in the rain and grilled and ate tasteless wild animals and mushrooms, Shin Yoo-seong was much happier living in Musin Mountain than living with the Shin-wu family.
that’s probably
“He is…”
It was because it was the first reliable relationship he had with Shin Yoo-seong.
“My real family.”
Shin Yoo-seong’s answer allowed Ryu-jin to know the relationship between the two without any additional explanation. At least, he felt something different from the completely twisted relationship between himself and the Sword God.
Shoot ah ah –
where did it get twisted? Ryujin also wanted the kindness of the Sword God. I didn’t even want a family.
Was it such a big greed to want to heal his only younger brother?
But the swordsman was such a person.
In order to hold the reins, he must have thought that his current condition was better than curing Liu Ming’s illness.
“That’s true…”
The pouring rain soaked Ryujin’s face. Ryujin looked at Shin Yoosung and said in a very emotionless voice.
“…I envy you.”

Chaaaaagh-!
Landing in a puddle in the air, Kim Eun-ah slid down a steep slope leaving long marks.
