The Genius Youngest Disciple of the Wudang Sect

Chapter 166

"H-How did this happen?"

"How could this happen? Is it true that Yu Seon... that Yu Seon was knocked out in a single blow?"

"Whether it's true or not, first, do something about Yu Seon. Yu Seon-ah. Wake up. Yu Seon-ah!"

It is a very chaotic situation.

In fact, it was I who created that situation... but I didn't know it would turn out like this.

'No... I didn't know he would be this weak.'

I recalled the negotiation with Yu Cheongja a little while ago.

A negotiation with the condition that if I won the spar with Yu Seon, Yu Cheongja would personally join the search party.

To be honest, I thought that was not enough, so I demanded another condition.

It was the condition that they share all the confidential information within the Kunlun Sect related to this matter.

Then Yu Cheongja said this to me, 'If something goes, something must come. If you can not just defeat Yu Seon, but break him within three moves, I will do so!'

So I just gathered all the energy and strength I could and unleashed it.

For the past six months, I had been training so hard that it was no different from closed-door training, so I wanted to try out the results in a real battle, and I thought that Yu Seon, who would later become the First Sword of Kunlun, would be able to receive my attack sufficiently.

So I filled my fist, not my sword, with the great energy created by adding the energy of the Six Yang Divine Art, which I had become quite accustomed to, to the clear energy accumulated by the Taiji Heart Method, and I performed the Nine Palaces Sword Art with my fist, not my sword, so to speak, I performed the Nine Palaces Fist Art.

But Yu Seon couldn't even block the first move and was knocked out by my fist.

No, to be precise, he did block it.

He reflexively made his arms into a cross to defend against my fist, but my fist just broke through it and hit his face.

"Uh... over there..."

I could only watch with a hesitant look as the other Kunlun Taoists who were watching from the side carried Yu Seon away.

I glanced at Yu Cheongja, who was standing next to me.

No matter how much he had brought it upon himself.

Even though he had even called other Taoists to be spectators, thinking that Yu Seon would not lose.

So even though I didn't like it very much...

Because he must have been very angry that his disciple was beaten up and even fainted in front of his eyes.

But... he was smiling. Although he couldn't laugh out loud because the surrounding situation was chaotic, I didn't miss the fact that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

'What? Could it be that I was used?'

For a master to smile in a situation like this, it would probably be one of two things.

The first is that Yu Seon had recently neglected his training, believing in his own meager talent, so a shock therapy was needed.

I think that could be the case, because I have experienced that quite a lot while wandering around the martial world until now.

And the second is...

'He could just be a mentally strange person.'

He could just be enjoying this situation.

Even if he is a Taoist of Kunlun, there can be plenty of strange people, and there is no guarantee that Yu Cheongja is not such a person.

After the situation was somewhat sorted out, Yu Seon was carried to the infirmary.

And the Taoists who were watching from the surroundings also stealthily left the scene, in case the sparks might fly.

Yu Cheongja turned to me, smiled, and said, "Good. A promise is a promise, so I will cooperate with you from now on. But before that..."

As I frowned and looked at him, wondering what other conditions he was going to add now, he strode up to me and said, "Let's have a match too."

"Yes? I don't want to."

"What?"

"Why should I? I've had enough of causing trouble today with what I did a little while ago. And how old are you compared to me... you're going to have a spar with me?"

As if he had never expected me to refuse so bluntly, he is looking at me with a dumbfounded look, unable to answer properly.

"And our condition was the spar with Taoist Yu Seon a little while ago, wasn't it? If I have a spar with you, senior, what will you do for me then?"

"No... originally, a spar with a strong person is to grow oneself..."

"No. I'm not very interested. And if I had known that Yu Seon was that weak, I wouldn't have even had a spar. Now all that's left is to be scolded by my master."

As I poured out my words, Yu Cheongja is just blinking his eyes.

The moment I was about to take that opportunity and quickly return to my lodging.

"Hwi-ya!"

A voice of terror coming from far away.

It was my master's voice.

My master is striding towards me with a very angry face, even from a distance.

And a Taoist of an old age who is following right behind my master.

The moment I saw him, I realized that he was the current sect leader of Kunlun, Geuman Jonja.

Because for some reason, the energy I felt from him was very similar to our sect leader's.

My angry master and the sect leader of Kunlun who is following him.

And this situation where all the other people have disappeared somewhere and only Yu Cheongja and I are left.

Realizing that this situation was very disadvantageous to me, I first approached my master and said urgently, "Master! This is not something I caused, but the other side asked me to have a spar just once, so I had no choice. It's true that I couldn't control my strength, but I had no intention of causing trouble..."

"That's enough. You don't need to say any more."

"Yes?"

"Although it may not seem like it, Yu Cheongja and I are close friends who have known each other for a long time. I roughly know what Yu Cheongja's personality is like, so there is no need to explain further."

"Ah... then that's a relief..."

"What do you mean, a relief! Even so, it is an undeniable fact that you also got carried away by Yu Cheongja's proposal or provocation or whatever and caused trouble together!"

I couldn't say anything back to my master's words, which were too correct.

"And, why didn't you hold back while fighting? What would you have done if you had put in a little more strength and he had died by any chance!"

"That's because... I never thought he would be that weak, since he's the best talent in Kunlun."

"What?"

My master, hearing my remark, was a little surprised and turned around without my realizing it.

Geuman Jonja, who was listening to our conversation from behind, fortunately did not seem angry and let out a small laugh.

I glanced at him and quickly added, "And that Taoist over there also provoked me, saying that I should try to defeat that child earlier within three moves."

Only then did Geuman Jonja, who had been keeping his mouth shut until now, say to Yu Cheongja, not me, "Yu Cheong-ah. Is that true?"

"Hmm, hmm. It is true. Sect leader."

With that answer, the atmosphere seemed to be somehow sorted out.

Geuman Jonja said to my master in a very benevolent voice, "Hyeon Yang. That's enough. I was also surprised to hear that Yu Seon had fainted and ran here, but after hearing the whole story, it seems it was not your disciple, but our Yu Cheong who caused the trouble."

"Still, to cause such a disturbance in Kunlun. I am just sorry."

"You have no reason to apologize to me. And your disciple, of course."

Geuman Jonja came up to me and looked me straight in the face and said, "But... is it true that you made Yu Seon like that in just one move?"

"Yes. It is."

"Hoho... a martial talent sent from heaven. The Primordial Heavenly Lord has bestowed a very special talent on Wudang."

He said to me with a smiling face, laughing.

For some reason, it feels like he is saying that to sort out the current situation.

"Sect leader. There is something a little wrong in what you just said."

"Huh?"

"I am training, thinking that I am not a talent of the Wudang Sect, but a talent of the orthodox martial world. Since we are of the same Taoist sect and the same orthodox sect, isn't there no need to distinguish between us?"

"What did you say? Hahaha!"

The sect leader burst out laughing, and then he called Yu Cheongja with a gesture.

Yu Cheongja hesitated for a moment, and then he came up to Geuman Jonja.

But as if he didn't like the distance, Yu Cheongja gestured for him to come a little closer, and when he came within arm's reach...

Geuman Jonja suddenly swung his hand and gave Yu Cheongja a flick on the head.

But although it was called a flick, in fact, judging by the strength contained in his fist and the sound that echoed, it was definitely not a simple flick.

"Ugh!"

"You bastard. Yu Cheong, do you want to cause trouble even in a situation like this? I thought it was strange when you said you were going to meet Hyeon Yang earlier, but what kind of disgrace is this to the guests from the Wudang Sect! No, I wouldn't mind if you had won. But you even got beaten up so badly... aren't you ashamed!"

A serious situation where the sect leader of a sect, and a huge sect at that, Kunlun, is angry.

I stealthily moved my steps and stood next to my master, and then I said in a voice that could barely be heard, "And on top of that, he even asked me to have a match with him just now."

"What?! This bastard doesn't even know shame. Did you want to get revenge for your disciple? You bastard!"

Geuman Jonja, as if he were really angry, didn't just hit him once, but continued to move his hands and began to beat Yu Cheongja all over his body.

Yu Cheongja, as if this were not the first or second time, tried hard to avoid and block Geuman Jonja's hands, but Geuman Jonja's fists were so mysterious that Yu Cheongja couldn't even block them properly and had no choice but to allow the blows.

I watched him getting beaten with interest.

Although it seemed Geuman Jonja was just lightly swinging his hands, in reality, he was performing the Great Clarity Free-Hand Technique, a unique martial art of Kunlun, to punish Yu Cheongja.

I could recognize it because I had seen the Taoists of Kunlun fight a few times in my previous life.

'In the past, I just thought it was a floppy hand movement, but now that I see it, the martial arts of Kunlun also had the mystery of the Taiji mixed in, didn't they?'

Was it said that a person sees as much as they know?

I, thinking that I had discovered a secret of the Kunlun martial arts, realized that Kunlun was a Taoist sect with similar roots to our Wudang Sect.

After the scene of violence, which had lasted for a while, ended, Geuman Jonja caught his breath and then turned to us again.

"I have shown a disgrace for a moment."

"No. I am just sorry that my disciple seems to have made things bigger."

"No. In fact, it's not that I don't understand why that child Yu Cheong is like that. Among the martial artists of Kunlun who went missing this time, there is a junior brother that that child cherished the most. He can't stand it if he doesn't vent his anger on you like that."

My master looked at him for a moment, and then he said to Yu Cheongja, "Yu Cheongja. Just as your junior brother went missing, I also came here because I don't know the whereabouts of my precious junior brother. Since we have the same purpose. Why don't we stop the antagonism and cooperate? Then I think we can find them more easily."

Yu Cheongja looked at my master, who was speaking seriously, and then he let out a deep sigh and said, "Anyway, I promised to cooperate fully with that child's bet. Although my personality is bad, I always keep my promises, so don't worry about that. But before that, let me ask you one thing."

"What is it?"

"Six months ago... you were originally supposed to come, weren't you? Why did Hyeon Cheong come instead of you then?"

"Is that important now?"

"It is important. If you had come, I would have been the one to follow you and chase the Demonic Cult guys. But since Hyeon Cheong came, I lost interest in that matter and sent my junior brother. So... I sent my junior brother to his death because of my whim. That... that is what is making me unable to stand it."

He said as if he were pouring out his heart.

The eyes of my master, who was looking at Yu Cheongja, seemed to understand his heart completely.
