The Regressed Young Master’s Guide to Living on Easy Mode

Chapter 136 : Hwangcheonju vs. Yoo Jae-ha (4)

"Do you know what the first thing you do when you meet someone is?"

In the world of the mind's eye, the mister asked me this question before starting the lesson on the correct way to use the Profound Other.

I answered based on my experience.

"School ties, regional ties, and blood ties!"

The tags that follow you wherever you go in this world.

The reason why the successful remain successful for three generations, and the unsuccessful remain unsuccessful for three generations.

The mister, who heard my answer, looked at me with a world-weary expression.

"Jae-ha, how jaded have you become by society?"

"It's the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult that you created, isn't it?"

The era of a dragon rising from a stream is a story from the old days.

"Ugh."

How much I had suffered because of that damn cronyism! I was about to list them all one by one, but I held it in.

The mister, as if he had something to be guilty of, couldn't refute my words.

"I'll change the question. When a martial artist and a martial artist meet, what do you see first?"

"Will this bastard kill me or not?"

"Half right, half wrong."

Why has he been asking me these kinds of questions all day long when he said he would teach me how to use the Profound Other?

Does the mister not know either?

I doubted for a moment, but I decided to think about it seriously again. The person in front of me was once a person who had vied for the title of the strongest under the heavens.

There must be a valid reason for asking such a question...

-Hiccup! You! I'm here! Let's go!

-Oh! You're here, my friend! I've been waiting since yesterday. Let's go!

-We burned it up hot today too. As expected, the world of gambling is endless. No matter how much you dig, there's no end. It's like a vast wilderness! I never thought he would use such a trick there! Haha! It was a good experience!

-Our challenge?

-Continues.

-Let's go for a hair of the dog!

-Alright! Let's go!

Get a grip! Yoo Jae-ha! The person in front of you is the Mad World Heavenly Demon, whom any martial artist would respect!

"Skill?"

"Oh! You're about 90% right, so I'll tell you from now on. The most important thing when you see an opponent is 'can I kill this guy, or will I die if I attack this guy?'. The first thing I'll teach you, Jae-ha, is how to look at your opponent properly."

* * *

'To see' is very important.

Because more than 50% of a person's senses rely on sight.

The guy I thought was a little strong was knocked out in one blow.

I wondered if I had misjudged the opponent's strength.

Because I hadn't listened to the mister's words and had just attacked him because I felt he might be strong.

In hindsight, the Sword Demoness or the Mad Demon might have been able to handle him enough.

"He's too weak."

I decided to look properly before attacking from now on.

And a new opponent appeared.

I didn't feel any sense of disharmony.

The mister had said.

-The reason I'm teaching you this from the beginning is because from the Profound Realm, it's possible to hide your strength.

Thinking based on my experience so far, from the Profound Realm, it was impossible to properly grasp the opponent's strength until they revealed their full power.

The most prominent phenomenon that indicates the Profound Realm is the change in the pupils.

In other words, the maximum realm I could know until the opponent revealed their full power was the Transformation Realm.

Unless they had learned enlightenment like the Divine Monk or the old man before he became young.

I heard while coming here that you have to live for at least 100 years to learn enlightenment or something.

It's a really shitty technique.

This time, I didn't forget and decided to look at the opponent properly. Fortunately, the opponent was weak last time, so it ended well, but if he had been stronger than me, I would have been the one lying on the floor bleeding.

Phew. I almost got fucked.

I was momentarily intoxicated by the reality that I could use my martial arts to their full extent.

'Don't get cocky, Yoo Jae-ha!'

I know now. That the real hero who will save this world is my junior sister, and I am her substitute.

So, this power could be said to be something I had borrowed until I met my junior sister.

A power I would return when I met my junior sister later anyway.

Because I had promised the mister that.

For now, let's be faithful to the present.

Because the reason I came here was for a deal.

Perhaps the guy next to Fatima is the chicken mask I met before.

This time, I didn't make a mistake and put into practice the method the mister had taught me to look at the opponent properly.

-You can hide your internal energy, nature, and disposition as much as you want, but you can't hide the size of the vessel you've polished so far, even if you try. So, look at the inside, not the outside.

Simply put, if you are a master of the Profound Realm or higher, you must have your own world of the mind's eye. The mister had told me to use that to my advantage.

In other words, looking into the mind's eye is the key.

It's easy to say, but this was absolutely impossible with ordinary methods.

Because it was a method that even the mister, who was called the Mad World Heavenly Demon, had found at the risk of his own death.

If he hadn't done something like moving his own world of the mind's eye, he would have never found it even if he had spent his whole life.

Right now, two worlds of the mind's eye coexisted in me.

One was completely mine.

And the other was what the mister had given me.

Originally, for an ordinary person to look at the world meant to see it based on the former.

The yang mind's eye sees the revealed parts of the world.

And the yin mind's eye sees the unrevealed parts of the world.

I blinked my eyes. And I looked at the world with the gaze of the yin mind's eye. At that, another world that had been invisible until now was visible.

What was in that world was.

"Wow. Fuck."

I couldn't help but curse.

"Is that a person?"

Since I had experienced it once before, I wasn't as surprised as the first time, but I still wasn't used to it.

-What do you see?

When I first glimpsed the mister's mind's eye, I couldn't say anything for a quarter of an hour, with saliva drooling from the corner of my mouth.

At that moment, the mister didn't look like a person.

I said what I saw, and the mister praised me for the first time.

-The mind's eye is the source of the world that one has created. It is also often called the desire to become something.

What I saw from the mister was a monster with six arms.

When I said what I saw, the mister answered like this.

-Originally, everyone in the Profound Realm is a monster. There are no humans. In the first place, it's not a realm that can be reached as a human.

What I was seeing now was a bird with huge golden feathers that could cover the sky.

When my eyes met it, the guy raised its feathers and cried out loudly. It felt like my eardrums would burst.

'I suddenly want to go home.'

Ah! I don't have a home.

My damn dream of owning a home.

For now, I knew that that guy was a monster.

"Ahem!"

I cleared my throat and said.

The reason I came here was not to fight that guy, but to make a deal.

I maintained my left eye to see the yin world and my right eye to see the yang world.

At that, the huge bird melted into the guy's body, and a faint golden glow was emanating from around the guy's body.

I opened my mouth.

"I came to make a deal with the chicken mask, the leader of the Secret Cult. Are you the leader of the Secret Cult?"

"Are you the one who trespassed without permission and caused this mess?"

The hostility felt from the opponent.

I quickly made an excuse.

"It's not that I did it on purpose, we came to make a fair deal, but these guys attacked us without warning, so we had no choice. It's true!"

"How can I believe that?"

"Look! I really brought the former leader of the Secret Cult!"

I lifted the young old man behind me again. Others might not, but I felt that that guy would somehow recognize the young old man accurately.

"It's him."

As expected! This guy can be reasoned with!

"I'll give you the former leader of the Secret Cult, so give me Fatima! That's our deal."

"Why do you want this girl?"

"She scammed me. I'm the type who can't live after being scammed."

"I can't understand."

"You don't have to understand. I didn't think I would be scammed either. So, the deal?"

"I accept. This girl has served her purpose anyway."

I pushed the young old man. It might seem a little cold, but what can I do, that's how people live.

If the young old man had refused to go, it would have been a little troublesome, but fortunately, the young old man walked on his own.

The opponent also sent Fatima this way.

And the young old man reached the guy, and Fatima reached me completely.

"Since I've granted what you wanted, you won't chase us anymore, right?"

"Alright. If you don't set foot in Tianzhu again, I will not attack you either."

Fortunately, the guy was a very reasonable opponent.

Just as we were about to go our separate ways.

"Chicken head."

Huh?

I didn't say that. It's true.

* * *

Hyeonjang was still in a state of not being able to get over the shock just now.

Is this possible by chance?

Anyone who wasn't a fool would know that it wasn't.

Hyeonjang's eyes were on the eight children who were lying unsightly on one side, and further, on one of them.

If it had been a close fight, he would have understood.

The reason he had placed his hopes on the guy was also largely due to the fact that the guy was a master who had reached the Profound Other.

That's not to say that the Profound Other is something special. It's just a little different.

The Profound Gown is a realm focused on energy.

On the other hand, the Profound Manifestation means a realm focused on the body.

The Profound Other was just a term for a realm that pursued something other than those two.

To take the case of enlightenment as an example, enlightenment is the Profound Other, but if you ask if it's stronger than the Profound Gown or the Profound Manifestation, that's not it. It's a ability that is focused on seeing, and if he had to say, it's closer to support than combat.

That's why even he, who was somewhat lacking in martial arts, could have realized it.

Unfortunately, Hyeonjang could not use his enlightenment now.

Nevertheless, he could be sure of one thing.

'Even if I use my enlightenment, I won't be able to see that guy properly.'

He thought it was qi deviation.

He thought he was just a madman.

Such a guy had defeated the Heavenly King's Heart Meridian who had reached the 3rd stage of the Profound Gown?

What kind of dog pissing nonsense is that!

Besides, looking closely, the guy wasn't just acting.

He had a clear purpose.

That confused him a little.

Because a person who has fallen into qi deviation doesn't care about anything other than their own purpose.

Qi deviation mostly manifests what one pursued most when they were normal. He thought that for the guy, it was survival...

If survival was his purpose, he wouldn't have come here and exchanged that young girl for himself.

In other words, the guy's purpose had something other than survival.

If so, if the guy had really realized something in the world of the mind's eye that he had shown him...

If that was great enough to defeat the Heavenly King's Heart Meridian...

His gamble might not have failed yet!

Whatever that guy is, as long as he wins, that's all that matters!

If it's to save Tianzhu, what can't I do!

If that place is hell, I will surely jump in!

Even if I'm called a swindler old man later, I will surely endure it!

Hyeonjang opened his mouth.

"Chicken head."

The chicken head guy looks at him. From long ago, the sects of these guys particularly hated this word.

"I know what you want."

Emotion comes to the eyes of the chicken head, who had been looking at the world with bored eyes.

It was fear, anger, and killing intent.

The reason why that guy had persistently looked for him.

Was it because he was afraid I would aim for the position of the leader of the Secret Cult?

Isn't that absurd!

What power do I have to pull down such a monster from the king's position?

To pull down a monster, the minimum condition was that this side also had to be a monster.

Hyeonjang's gaze turned to one man.

He didn't know what that guy was, but one thing was for sure.

A monster!

"I am the incarnation of the reversal of heaven who has lived for 300 years through reincarnation, and the first guide! Samjang."

Hyeonjang even brought out the name he thought he would never use.

The effect was very excellent.

Because the chicken head's killing intent soared even higher.

Swoosh.

Samjang raised his arm and pointed to one person.

"Over there is the incarnation of the monkey who dragged you down to the ground. Are you just going to stand there and watch that guy go?"

There was no question of confirmation. There was only the sound of kicking off the ground.

Samjang grinned.

Clang!

He turned his head at the sound of swords clashing.

There, he saw the guy with a flustered expression.

"I've always wanted to meet you, monster monkey!"

"If you've misunderstood after hearing that old man's words, I'll correct you. I'm not a monkey, I'm a person."

"The eyes of the first guide are accurate! How did you block my blow?"

Have you ever been backstabbed?

I've been hit twice in the same way.

And now I could finally understand.

That you should never trust the people of Tianzhu.

"You're stabbing me in the stomach without warning, so shouldn't I block it?"

And one more thing.

These Tianzhu bastards can't be reasoned with.

"That's the proof!"

"Haa!?"

"Hehehe!"

That crazy old man is laughing.
