Episode 232. A step towards a new world (4)
Early morning when everyone is asleep.
Xu Liang, who had come out to the gym alone, looked around.
‘It’s comfortable.’
I felt similar feelings before, but after becoming a small school principal, it really feels like my home.
Aenghwa’s hand stains are all over the place. Her own footprint remained, and everyone’s laughter melted into it.
It seemed like I couldn’t sleep well anywhere else.
Kreung.
At that time, Keum-ho, who had been crouching beside him, approached Xu Liang. King Ho, lying on his stomach by the gate, did not move. I was just prickling my ears.
Xi Liang stroked Keum Ho.
“Have you become close with King Ho?”
Kreureung.
“I got it, man.”
Still, it looks much better than before. The two of us shared the 120 pounds of beef we brought earlier from Hwanhuiwon equally.
Even in the mountains, they seemed to respect each other in their own way.
“Aenghwa was very surprised because of you.”
It was the same at the central plaza, but Aeng-hwa burst into tears when she saw Geum-ho who entered during the drinking party.
Where did that cute look of the past go? He wept while holding a golden tiger bigger than himself.
Of course, Kumho did not accept Aenghwa’s sadness. At first, Geum-ho was not very interested in Aeng-hwa.
“Play with me once in a while. Remember when you were lazy Aenghwa made food for you with great care.”
Kumho yawned loudly. Seo Liang murmured tremblingly.
“Because this guy really has no affection.”
Xu Liang, sitting at the end of the gymnasium, looked up at the sky.
A cloudless night sky, countless stars twinkled. It looked like it would pour out any moment.
“Now, what should I do?”
The sage’s eyes softened.
“Can’t we just leave right away? No, even if you want to leave, the headmaster will give you permission. The problem is how to move after leaving.”
When he was a prince, he could not officially hold power. He had no position in the first place.
But the Sogyoju is different. The position of a small school principal itself is a position and a responsibility.
Now he has risen to a position where he can influence the Protestant forces.
Although he can’t do as much as he wants, if he orders it, he can mobilize the Protestant troops spread throughout the central plains.
‘In my mind, I want to hit it right away.’
Seo Liang laughed bitterly.
“That Gogu man, although sometimes unlucky, he is a very thankful person.”
He remembered his conversation with Kogu.
– Fighting the Uicheon League is the same as saying that you will bring the main school’s demons into the war.
– Are you planning on doing it this way? I will use your noble death as a stepping stone to destroy the nemesis, Uicheonmaeng. I am the head of the cult. Follow my words.
– I think that if the Three Gongja think about the glory of the main school even a little, they need their own deep consideration.
That’s right.
He thought of the Cheonma Shinkyo as a den of evil spirits. He thought only of his own life, of course, and didn’t care at all whether these guys died here or there.
But not now.
Cheonma Shinkyo is also a world where people live. I don’t know how it was before, but now I’m actually more attached to it than Uicheonmaeng.
And Xiliang was in a position to be the master of those decent people. I don’t want to shake their lives recklessly.
“I thought I would be able to move properly if I became a minor teacher.”
A look of bitterness crept across the sage’s face.
“I thought too lightly.”
Actually, the answer is simple.
It’s enough if you don’t cover your front and back and just move towards your goal. The most important person in the world is myself after all.
Xu Liang realized what his lifelong goal was and ran towards it without hesitation. If he has set his own goals, no one can argue with him.
The problem is that Xu Liang went through an incident that would be a burden to his heart.
The ripple effect of that incident was not small. I made it clear to Xu Liang, who ran only forward, that there were people like this on your left and right.
If he didn’t know, he wouldn’t know, but once he knew, it became a snare that he couldn’t shake off and snatched his ankles.
“Damn it, it’s complicated.”
Seo Liang jumped up and loosened his limbs.
“At times like this, it’s best to run all over again.”
There is no base formula. Standing in the center of the gymnasium, Seo Liang immediately deployed martial arts.
The beginning was Mawang’s reign, but the martial arts that were knocked out in succession were Jung-gu Heating.
He used the thunderbolt fist of the Heavenly Demon, used the Poksangyeong, tried to hit an anonymous gakbeop, and also performed the Inhwadobeop with a hand sword.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a training that does not contain history, but the realization contained in Touro has reached the ultimate. His body, which changed once again, was no different from a weapon.
Seo Liang, who had been training for a long time, relaxed his posture before he knew it.
“Whoa.”
It has definitely changed.
It was different from the past when I had to try to reduce the gap between my body and martial arts as soon as I reached the extreme.
His body had already approached the realm of perfection, reaching a stage where even the most complex group could express their thoughts as they were.
There is still room for training, but any martial art can be attached to the body without too much difficulty. It is fundamentally different from the previous body, which was infinitely strong and elastic.
Xi Liang stretched out his hand towards the room.
Woo woo woo.
The four knives that flew through the window revealed themselves after a long time.

“hmm… … Although each has a different use.”
Seo Liang scratched his head.
“I don’t need four sacks anymore.”
In the first place, there were not many battles in which all four sacks were used. Now, he was able to form a sword with a true sword, and even use a sword made of tangible demonic magic.
The problem was that he had already pierced the pole before he could even use these swords properly.
‘Well, in the first place, it’s hard to show off my power even if I don’t reach the extreme end.’
They are good knives though. How many times have these knives saved my life?
“Shall we loosen up for once?”
It was then.
Seo Liang turned his head to the gate.
“hmm.”
Seo Liang, armed with four swords, opened the gate.
Then, in the distance, I saw a carriage approaching. The noise was very low because of how the wheels were made.
Seo Liang frowned.
“A general?”
Soon the carriage stopped in front of him.
When the door opened, Ho Yo-seong greeted him with a smile.
“You knew, too.”
“yes. What are you doing?”
“well. What could it be?”
“… … .”
“Okay, okay. You’re not joking, cow. school. main. sir.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“But what were you doing wearing four knives? Are you going to assassinate even the greatest masters in the world?”
I said it like a joke, but with the current Seoryang, that might be possible.
It was safe to say that Seo Liang, who had opened the third hell gate, the Thirteen Demon King Fear Ceremony, was armed one level higher than in the past.
“Okay, tell me why you came here. Why did you come in person because you could just send me a letter?”
“Huh? You say big day. Now that you have become the principal of the school, how dare you, even a military general, to come to us by letter? If you are caught, you will be taken to the penal court.”
“… … .”
“Oh, haven’t you told me why yet?”
“yes.”
Ho Yo-seong smiled.
“Would you like to go to my workplace with me?”
* * *
Seo Liang looked around.
“Was there a place like this?”
“You only came to my office, but you’ve never been to the military department’s operation room, have you?”
“It has to be. There are a lot of demons who escort you from invisible places.”
“You see right through. Can you guess how many there are?”
“Seventy-two.”
“You are correct.”
Ho Yo-seong flipped through the documents.
“It is no exaggeration to say that the military department is the most important organization in Protestantism. Oh, except for the Demon Shrine, of course.”
It was worth it. Because the military department is the only organization in charge of all internal and external governance of Protestantism.
“The seventy-two escorts were all selected by the headmaster. He said that it would not be an exaggeration to say that one escort skill is the best in the school.”
“Looks like it.”
“Hehe.”
Xu Liang looked at the center of the operation room.
There lay a huge map with colored words stuck in it. It seemed that Shingyo’s troops were represented by red dragons, the iron-blooded castle by black tigers, and the Uicheon Alliance by blue hawks.
“The map is very detailed.”
“Of course. Perhaps, among the three worlds, our school’s map is the most detailed and accurate.”
“hmm.”
You can be so confident. He had seen tens of thousands of maps while working as a water man, but he had never seen a map like this.
“Would you like a cup of tea?”
“yes.”
“Oyster truck?”
“Byukrachun.”
Ho Yo-seong came with hot tea.
Accepting the teacup, Xu Liang said.
“By the way, can you show me the operations room?”
“of course. You officially became the principal of the school. Someone is like that. As a general, I am the one with the power over all.”
Ho Yo-seong narrowed his eyes.
“Now that position belongs to the young schoolmaster. Why did I become a third person who can’t be taken out or beaten?”
“I’m glad.”
“yes?”
“Your status has risen above that of the general military.”
“Hey, did you think I was uncomfortable?”
“Did you think no?”
“… … If you say that, it hurts me.”
“Yes or no.”
After taking a sip of tea, Xu Liang laid her butt on the table.
“So, what do you want to show me by bringing me here?”
“You’re very chilly today, aren’t you?”
“It may be chilly, but not to the point of dying of joy. So, I want you to answer the question right away. Just one more talk and joke and I’ll just leave.”
“… … Ah, yes.”
The mischief disappeared from Ho Yo-seong’s face.
“Actually, I wouldn’t have gone to see the young schoolmaster this early in the morning unless it was something special. However, it’s a problem because some of that stuff exploded.”
“What’s the problem?”
“Before I say that, there is one thing I want to confirm.”
“Are you being rude to the young master?”
“Are you kidding?”
“Continue.”
“great.”
Ho Yo-seong’s eyes deepened.
“When you say that you will wipe out the stronghold from the face of the earth, do you mean that you will disintegrate the two powers? Or do you mean that you will destroy only the leaders of the two factions and their subordinates?”
The sage’s answer was unpretentious. Because I’ve been thinking about this issue countless times.
“Primarily, the chief and top leaders, and secondly, disintegration.”
“hmm.”
“Even if I can’t completely dismantle it, at least I plan to annihilate all the owners of the fierce castle. Did you get an answer?”
“Enough has been done.”
Ho Yo-seong brought a small piece of paper that had been placed on the map near Shanxi.
“Look.”
“What is it?”
“You will know when you see it.”
Seo Liang opened the letter.
Soon, his eyes fluttered.
“… … volcano?”
“That’s right. Thanks to that, the Uicheon League has become quite noisy.”
Ho Yoseong smiled.
“If you look at the source of the information, the probability that it is true is more than you can find.”
“… … .”
“Okay, a goalie was thrown out. What do you plan to do, Little Teacher?”
Xi Liang’s eyes shone.
“You won’t be scolded for coming at dawn, right?”
Ho Yo-seong smiled.
“Sure.”
“I’ll call you separately, so don’t fall asleep until then.”
“I can’t sleep when I have fun.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“See you later.”
As he turned around, a faint bloody glow appeared in his eyes.
‘He makes up a reason on his own.’
