◈ New Jegal (3)
Even if Hyegwan had a reason for arranging the sparring match, Mujin had something to say.
“No matter what, it is a fight for Shaolin’s interests. “It looks like I’ll be fighting against a master better than I am, so please give me some advice.”
Hye-gwan sighed and laughed at Mu-jin’s words.
Since Hye-gwan is called the greatest apostate monk in Shaolin, there is no particular question of ‘Does a Shaolin disciple care about interests?’ I had no intention of spouting bullshit.
“Look at that female donor. “Isn’t she a beauty just by looking at her?”
“yes.”
“So, stick around like a libertine.”
“… … “Didn’t you say before that men who are squishy are not popular?”
When Moo-jin responded to Hye-gwan’s nonsense with nonsense, Hye-gwan responded by taking a swig of alcohol.
“A petty man who remembers everything he said in the past is not popular.”
“… … .”
Mu-jin, who was looking at Hye-gwan like she was crazy, eventually sighed and headed to the training hall.
And Mu-jin, who came to the training ground, calmed his mind and looked at Zhuge Jin-hee, who was standing a long distance away.
‘It’s a debt… … .’
Zhuge Jinxi, who was in sparring, was holding an iron wire in his right hand.
Seonbeop (扇法). It was a type of martial arts that Mujin had never experienced before.
“My name is Mujin, the third great disciple of Shaolin. Amitabha Buddha.”
“This is Zhuge Jinxi of the Zhuge family.”
Immediately after they showed respect to each other with their class leaders and arms.
Pot!
Mujin moved first.
Hye-gwan may have said some bullshit, but it must be true that she is more skilled than him. She decided that there was no need to give up the first strike against the expert.
Mujin, who quickly narrowed the distance by one stroke, took advantage of his speed and struck out a stroke.
Zhuge Jinhui also reacted to the speed, took a step back and swung his fan towards Mujin’s fist.
Pot!
As if Il-kwon was in trouble, Mu-jin spread his fingers and changed his path, targeting her demonic blood with Geumna-su.
visor!
But before he knew it, the spread side of the fan blocked all of Mujin’s widely spread fingers.
Then, performing light steps as if dancing, she rotated her body once, moved the fan that was touching Mujin’s hand, and let the hand flow backwards.
Woosoo, who had opened the golden nasu, was sucked further forward, and her left leg stretched out after completing the rotation, towards Mujin’s abdomen, whose upper body was tilted forward.
Mujin also moved his seat to block her seat.
Immediately after exchanging a sum of money, Mujin and Zhuge Jinhee’s eyes lit up at the same time.
‘I can’t believe I’ve reached this level at that age!’
‘At that age, at this level, he could have appeared in a novel, right?’
Remembering their strangely different feelings, the two swung their fists and fans at each other again.
bang!
When the fan and fist collided, a strange result emerged.
In terms of strength, Mujin had the upper hand. Zhuge Jinxi only used her footwork to relieve her shock, but she clearly felt like she had been pushed back.
On the other hand, in the case of Mujin.
‘shit. ‘I almost broke a bone in my finger.’
I could barely control my face from frowning due to the intense pain I felt in my fist.
‘Even though I am superior in terms of strength, seeing how it hurts so much, I must be putting energy into the fan.’
If it was a weapon imbued with aerodynamic power, it would have been difficult to withstand it with his own Cheolposam, which was not yet completed.
‘He is more expert than the swordsman I faced in Black Blade.’
Recalling the swordsman who inflicted the wound on his side, Mujin dug into Jegal Jinhee, who leaned back.
For Mujin, whose main weapon was recommended martial arts, close combat was the answer in the end.
‘It is dangerous to hit the wire directly while it is being folded.’
Mu-jin, who learned his lesson after a while, forced her to open her fan and swung the recommended angle.
Just like he did the first time, Mujin started to drive her by mixing things up.
Pot!
Is it because they were on the defensive? She unleashed her Gyeongshin method and boldly threw her body backwards, and at the same time threw the iron wire she was holding in her hand at her Mujin.
The wide fan flew in and rotated violently, and the speed of rotation was so fast that it looked like a disk rather than a fan.
Mujin twisted his upper body and narrowly avoided the fan.
“!!”
Following the fan, Zhuge Jinhui, who had already taken out a new fan, dug in.
She stabbed the folded wire as if it were a sword. Instead of slamming his fist against her sword pole, Mujin managed to dodge the attack by hitting the side of her iron ship with his fist.
They say a crisis is an opportunity, so Mujin dug in and threw a left fist at her who came.
Zhuge Jinhui managed to avoid the left kick by twisting his upper body and using footwork, and Mujin’s kick flew towards her as her posture was distorted.
She spread her fan and used the cotton to block Mujin’s kick, but was unable to completely offset the force and flew backwards.
No, it was as if he had deliberately surrendered himself to that power.
Where she flew, the fan she had thrown a moment ago was stuck on the ground.
She very naturally picked up the fan from the floor with her left hand and began watching Mujin’s movements while holding the iron wire in both hands.
‘Sword and shield. And even memorization. ‘You can eat a lot with just one fan.’
Mujin, who had been fighting with her for a moment, bent his upper body forward and pretended to dig in, then attacked her by surprise the moment she flinched.
‘As Hyegwan Sasukjo said, she is superior in terms of understanding martial arts.’
It was probably natural for Mujin, who had only been learning martial arts for a little over two and a half years.
However, that did not mean that they had given up on sparring and were charging in blindly.

‘On the other hand, other than that, I have the advantage.’
I couldn’t figure out the level of internal attack, but at least I had the upper hand in external attack and actual combat experience.
So, I had to lead her into a messy fight so that she couldn’t show off her skills to her heart’s content.
Just as Hyegwan advised.
* * *
Since the sparring began, time has already passed.
Jegal Jin-hee’s hair, which was once elegant, had now become strands of hair, and her neat military uniform was also damp with sweat.
However, she, who considered herself a martial artist, was not so foolish as to be concerned about the condition of her hair or clothes.
She focused only on her sparring opponent, Mujin.
‘I can’t believe there was this much equipment in Shaolin.’
Zhuge Jinxi couldn’t help but be surprised.
She was proud of her own skills. It wasn’t simply because she was called a ‘genius’ from a young age.
What would you do if you were called a genius when you were young? Because she was a woman, she could not become the head of the family, and since she was a woman outside the monastic order, she could not even learn the martial arts that were handed down only to her immediate descendants.
She had been the most talented since she was young, so when she first heard, ‘Because you are a woman, you cannot learn the martial arts of your direct lineage,’ it felt as if those martial arts had been stolen.
That’s why she wanted to be perfect.
I tried to hide my emotions and not let anyone see my flaws. By relentlessly training his martial arts skills, he continued to have everyone admire him as a ‘genius’.
I thought that if I lived like that, one day, I would be recognized by adults.
But, there is a child who is better than you, who has worked so hard.
Feeling as if she had become a fool, she shook her head inwardly.
‘no. ‘I’m better at martial arts!’
I couldn’t be defeated by a child who was three or four years younger than me. Above all, he failed the first mission given to him by his family.
The thought that everything she had built so far could collapse completely drove her.
‘Judging by the sparring so far, the child has not yet reached the point of erection. ‘I’ll have to see the match!’
It was her own cool-headed judgment based on the belief that her level was higher.
This time, she calmly watched Mujin rushing towards her without any hesitation, and unfolded the iron wire in both hands.
Immediately after that, the flow of bets that started from her Danjeon began to be sucked into the iron wire through her intestines.
Hehehe.
Some of the bets that had been sucked into the wire began to escape the wire and emit a whitish aura into the air.
Seongi merchant (扇氣傷人).
The minimum standard for measuring mastery among the martial arts people. She was only eighteen and had reached that point.
Although it was still possible only with the help of martial arts, it was truly surprising considering his age.
And her iron ship filled with goodness moved towards Mujin, who was digging into her.
If it were Mujin a few days ago, I would probably have been embarrassed.
Attacks such as sword energy, sword energy, and spiritual energy were not something that his Cheolpo Sam could withstand.
But why?
To Mujin now, her attack felt like an opportunity.
‘The speed of herbivory was actually delayed due to the need to produce good energy.’
I was in Mujin, where the duel between Paedo Ark and Hye-gwan, which I saw a few days ago, was pictured in my mind.
Mujin boldly took a step forward towards the enemy that would tear his body apart.
Both of her hands, which had not fully opened yet, were grabbed with the Geumna technique.
Suddenly!
The energy flowing from her wire created scars on the backs of Mujin’s hands and forearms, but they were not deep enough to cause bone or muscle problems.
“!!!”
For the first time, ripples appeared in her eyes, which she had not expected to be blocked in this way.
Mujin swung his bullhorn at the embarrassed Zhuge Jinhee.
Was it the power of repeated training over the years? Even though Jegal Jinhee was embarrassed, she raised her left leg and blocked Mujin’s kick.
However, the difference in strength was obvious, and immediately after their legs touched each other, Zhuge Jinxi’s expression naturally frowned.
Now, each person is standing on the ground with only one leg, with both hands and one leg touching.
Since both sides had blocked means of attack, she expected Mujin to push her back with force.
But Mujin’s actions went far beyond her expectations.
As she was thinking about how to overcome Mujin’s strength, what was reflected in her eyes was Mujin’s head, which was quickly closing the distance.
bang!!!
Mujin’s headbutt hit her forehead.
* * *
Jegal Jin-hee, who had a large lump on his forehead with a noise like a gourd breaking, collapsed as soon as Mu-jin let go of his hands.
She, who was already exhausted, was unable to withstand the shock of the headbutt and fainted.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Mujin, who won the sparring match, squinted his eyes slightly at the deep pain he felt in his forehead and chanted.
‘indeed. They say it’s called Sinki Jegal.’
Perhaps because I used my hair a lot, my hair was harder than I thought. If she had messed up, she would have fainted, not her, but her Mujin.
Meanwhile.
As the sparring, which was full of excitement and splendor, ended with a headbutt that seemed like something out of a fight between blue tigers, there was silence in the training hall for a moment.
And the person who broke the silence was Yook Jong-seon, who quickly came to his senses.
“Hmm. “The winner of Dalian is Mujin Dongja.”
When Yuk Jong-seon, as a notary, confirmed victory and defeat, the atmosphere between Shaolin and Zhuge was sharply divided.
“… … Support Jinhee. “Let’s go back.”
As an elder of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Xuan knew how foolish it would be to protest the judgment made by Cham Yi in this situation.
* * *
Immediately after completing the sparring, all of Zhuge Emperor’s side, including Lu Jongxian and Liang Jiaoyuan, left.
The atmosphere inside the clinic was almost like a festival.
“Hahaha! Mujin-dongja! “What a great sparring!”
Mak Ji-hyeok, the master of Bulgwonmun, a Shaolin family, burst out in laughter and praised Mujin.
“Now that we have defeated her, a member of the Zhuge family, it will probably be difficult for the Zhuge family to step forward for a while, even if only to put this incident to rest. Hahaha! “Even the elders of Cham are satisfied with this place, so there is nothing to worry about anymore.”
“It’s not all over yet.”
To Mak Ji-hyeok, who seemed so happy, Mu-jin answered in a serious tone that did not suit his age.
“The reason the old man liked this place was simply because he was satisfied with today’s treatment. Of course, I plan to maintain that level of care as long as I am there, but I cannot stay here for the rest of my life.”
Still, given his years of experience, Mak Ji-hyuk quickly understood Mu-jin’s intentions.
“Starting today, I will double the time I spend practicing therapy. “So that the council can be maintained even after Mujin Dongja leaves.”
“Then please take care of me until I leave. Mak Ji-hyeok, Lord Moon.”
“We would like to ask you to take care of us. Mujin Dongja.”
Mujin and Mak Jihyeok exchanged greetings as class presidents and then moved on.
Mujin arrived at a place where no one was around and slightly opened the fist he had been clenching.
‘Ugh.’
During the sparring session, I couldn’t really feel the heat, but when I opened my hand, I felt intense pain. In particular, the area around the middle finger was swollen with red bruises.
It was the result of colliding with her folded iron wire filled with air power in the early stages of sparring.
When I lifted my middle finger, it seemed like the bone wasn’t broken, but looking at the swelling, I could tell it was a close call.
That’s why Mujin thought.
‘Why didn’t a woman like that appear in the novel?’
Wouldn’t it be nice if the Zhuge family had a very low role in the novel? The Zhuge Dynasty was a place that was treated with some importance in the second part of the novel, The Story of the Emperor and Emperor of the Four Emperors. It has a proportion similar to that of the Cheonryu Sangdan.
The reason was also similar. This was because, like Cheonryu Sangdan, Zhuge Emperor would also join the dark forces in the future.
That is why today, when Taegeommun appeared again with Jegal Sega on his back. Mujin was inwardly delighted.
If they were a faction that would have to fight against the dark side together in the future, it would have been quite difficult, but since Zhuge Se, who was going to be their enemy anyway, had nothing to worry about.
As he recalled memories of the Zhuge family, the contents of Part 2 of the novel naturally came to Mujin’s mind.
‘Wow. The episode of Zhuge Dynasty was amazing again.’
The pleasure felt when the main character of Part 2 destroyed the traps planned by Zhuge family and Heukmag using only force of arms was indescribable.
However, in the process of the main character of Part 2 destroying the Zhuge family, the character named Zhuge Jinxi never appeared. No matter how much I search through my memories.
‘Hmm. If it’s a similar case to Cheonryu Sangdan, do you mean he will already be dead by then?’
I thought it might be a similar reason why Ryu Ji-gwang or Yeon Ga-hee did not appear in the novel.
Naturally, I wanted to approach the Zhuge family through her like I did with Ryu Ji-gwang.
‘That’s what happened to me today, but I’m sure we’ll become friends.’
Mujin, who realized it was already over, shook his head.
I was busy with work at the Cheonryu Merchant Marine Company right now, but it was too greedy to even worry about the Zhuge family.
