Chapter 2

Pow!
“What…… what!”
At the sound of my panicked voice, everyone stopped their outstretched swords and looked at me.
“What are you doing, Qingwu!”
Master Mujin yelled at me.
But I didn’t hear Master Mujin’s scolding.
“What was that?
For an instant, the tiny bit of Qi I had been gathering escaped the dantian, traveled through my blood vessels, gathered at my wrist, and shot out through the sword.
‘I…… can’t…… move the inner gong?
Moving the inner gong is the first goal of every new Bo Ping disciple.
I was so happy that I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
“Fuhahahahaha!”
“Pow!
“Aaah!”
But the joy didn’t last long.
Master Mujin came up to me with an angry face and grabbed my head.
“What are you laughing about? What are you doing in the middle of training time?”
Master Mujin’s scolding made me cower for a moment.
However, I couldn’t hold back my laughter, so I laughed and laughed and said to Master Mujin.
“Master Mujin, Master Mujin. I mean…….”
“Shut up!”
Bam!
Master Mujin cut me off mid-sentence and slapped my head again.
“You should stay after your training time is over.”
“I…… that…….”
I wanted to brag about my great achievement, but Master Mujin snorted, ignored me, and returned to his seat.
“Start from the beginning. Begin!”
“Hah!”
The children’s cheers rang out, and I grimaced as I unfolded the three swords from the beginning.
When it was over, only Master Mujin and I were left in the training center.
“Do you know what you did wrong?”
“No…… I apologize for causing a disturbance in class, but I need you to listen to me for a moment. What?”
Master Mujin’s face relaxed a little at my words.
“Okay, I’ll listen to your excuse.”
I breathed out a sigh of relief and said.
“I did it, I moved the…… jinqi!”
I said happily, smiling widely.
Master Mujin looked surprised at my words.
“Is that…… really true?”
“Yes, it’s real. I did it like this here, and the energy rose from the dantian and went to my hand.”
I said, mimicking the movements from earlier.
Master Mujin’s face changed.
“Where are you lying to me!”
“Eh? What do you mean?”
I said in astonishment as Master Mujin suddenly turned angry and scolded me.
“Unfold your sword gong once more.”
“Yes.”
I thrust out my sword as before.
Then I felt something strange.
The energy on the dagger didn’t even want to move.
“Do you think your energy has moved now? You dare to lie to me because you don’t want to be punished! This is the Volcano Sect, a branch of the Nine Sects. How can it be that you, a disciple of such a place, would lie to me?”
“I’m not lying…….”
But even as I thought about it, I could understand why Master Mujin didn’t believe me.
I’ve been a Bo Ping disciple for three months.
It was unbelievable that I could move the Qin Qi in such a short period of time.
“After today’s training, Qingwu, you will repeat the Three Swords from beginning to end over and over again. Until I tell you to stop. Do you understand?”
“Uh…… yes…….”
I said in a small, grass-dead voice.
Master Mujin coldly turned around and walked away.
I sighed and walked back to the Boping Pavilion, the quarters of the Boping disciples, and thought to myself.
‘He was definitely moving earlier…….’
I stroked Danzhen.
I could feel a faint but warm and refreshing aura.
‘Why didn’t you move this time? It’s like you lied to me because you didn’t move, Chet…….’
I walked to Bopyeonggak, taking out my anger on my jingi, and arrived a little while later.
“Hey, what happened?”
“After training, he wanted me to practice the Three Jeweled Sword Kung Fu from start to finish. Ehhh.”
The horse-haired kid in front of me, asking with a worried face, was Yu Zhenghao.
He is an alumnus of my twenty-fifth disciple, Bo Ping, who joined me.
“So why are you practicing alone? Why don’t you just chase after them?”
Yeon-hwa’s sarcasm.
“No, I was the one who was moving…….”
The kids’ faces stiffened at my words, and after a moment, they all laughed out loud.
“Fuhahaha, what are you talking about? You’ve only been moving for three months? Do you think that makes sense?”
“Cough, cough. So you’re saying that such a thing is impossible unless you’re a genius?”
At Yan Hua and Zheng Ho’s sneers, I just sighed and went inside.
“Even Master Mujin doesn’t believe it, so why would you guys?
Just then, a child walked in front of me.
He was taller than most kids his age, and his face was much shorter than most kids his age.
“Oh, it’s a bomber tank.”
Real name Yoo Sang-pil.
His nickname is Bomdu Chariot, and he is currently the strongest of the twenty-five Bopyeong disciples.
“Dude, what?”
Since his nickname is a head-busting battle car, he tries to pick fights with the other kids whenever he gets bored.
This is where I am at the moment.
“No, it’s just that during training, I felt like I had some kind of energy move…….”
“What?”
Yoo Sangpil asked me, raising his eyebrows.
“Damn…….
When this guy contorts his face like this, he’s about to explode.
In other words, I was in danger.
“No, it’s not…….”
“Shut up!”
Bam!
“Oh shit…… I knew it…….
My head jerked back, and the world around me swayed.
My cheeks burned like they were on fire.
“Dude, what the hell?”
The kids around me rushed over at the sound of the blow, and when they saw my cheek and Yoo Sang-pil’s raised fist, they mumbled something about the tram crashing again and how they felt sorry for me.
‘Stop muttering like that and dry it off…….’
I grumbled to myself.
Then I glared at the guy in front of me.
“What, are you glaring at me?”
He raised his fist.
“No, hehe…… I was just looking at you because I thought you were so handsome…….”
“Well, I am handsome…….”
“You look like an asshole…….
I was screaming at the top of my lungs, but all that came out of my mouth was a series of flattering remarks.
“Wow, look at you. How old are you and you already have muscles…….”
“Well, look how hard I’ve been trying to grow these muscles…….”
“You’re an idiot, a few flattery makes you feel better…….
I cursed myself and kept flattering him.
At one point, he shook his head and made a face.
“That’s right, you asshole, you’re flattering me because you don’t want to get beaten up?”
“Shit, you got me…….”
“You’re dead!”
“Whoa!”
A raised fist.
I brought my hand up to protect my face, bracing myself for the pain that would follow.
But I didn’t feel any pain.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked up to see Yeonhwa grabbing his hand and yelling at him.
“Hey, you stupid raccoon! Who do you think you are, hitting Cheng Wu!”
He stared at Yeonhwa in disbelief.
He’s never heard that from anyone, male or female, before (I’m guessing), so he’s probably feeling a little overwhelmed right now.
Yanhua is shorter than me.
He’s about my height.
She also has a young face, so it’s hard to tell if she’s actually my age.
The next thing I know, she’s blocking my hand and yelling at me. …….
“Yeonhwa, bloody…….”
Puck!
“Kaaak!”
“Is this bitch crazy! You dare to grab my hand and block it?”
I could see him raise his fist again and try to hit Yeonhwa.
Everything around me seemed to be frozen, and he was moving very slowly.
“You…… asshole!
He looked at me and looked very surprised.
‘But why is he so slow? Never mind, how dare he hit Yan Hua!
I muttered to myself and ran forward.
Mumble!
The refreshing aura that had been dormant in the tunnel stirred.
Like a dragon ascending, the energy that had escaped from the short circuit exploded outward through the Heavenly Stone Blood in his feet.
Boom!
The speed was shudder-inducing.
Before I could blink, I was in front of him.
However, blinded by rage, I didn’t think about such trivial matters and threw my fist out.
This time, my fist shot out with a burst of ki.
Pfft!
With a tremendous blow, the creature flew away at a slow speed.
For some reason, his body was hot and sweaty.
Boom!
He hit the tree, and the world returned to normal.
The world that had seemed so slow had returned to normal speed.
“Huh…… Huh…… Huh…….”
Everyone was looking at me in amazement.
So was Yeonhwa.
“You…….”
I pulled her to her feet, stunned and speechless.
“Ugh…….”
As I helped Yeon-hwa to her feet, Yoo Sang-pil, who was sent flying by my blow, looked up.
His front teeth were missing, and one side of his face was blue. His ugly face was swollen, making it look even uglier.
“Ab…….”
He kept moving his lips as if he wanted to say something to me.
But the swelling and missing teeth prevented any words from coming out, and after a while, he passed out.
“What…… what……?”
The kids woke up and looked at me like they were seeing a monster.
Then, I heard an ear-splitting shout.
“What are you doing!”
It was Master Mujin’s voice.
“Master…….”
The children all looked at Master Mujin and me alternately.
“What the…… did you do……?”
Master Mujin shook his fist and said.
“How dare a disciple of our Great Volcano Sect, even if he is a disciple of the Bo Ping Sect, put a fellow alumnus in such a state!”
Master Mu Zhen was not usually so strict, so he was very angry when such a major incident occurred.
“Is that…….”
“No questions asked! Be quiet!”
With that, Master shouted and struck me on the back of the head with the capital.
