< Sword Dragon-3 >
In response to Namgoong Hee-won’s question, “Who is it?” Lee Seong-min looked at his face. The answer itself is not difficult. Nevertheless, the reason he could not answer immediately was because the person in front of Lee Seong-min was Namgung Hui-won, the sword dragon and the next head of the Namgung family, and he was a little surprised that the name of Socheonma Wi Ji-ho-yeon was mentioned to Namgung Hui-won.
“… “My name is Lee Seong-min.”
“Lee Seong-min? It’s a name I’ve never heard of. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m a bit short on experience. To be precise, I tend to listen to only what I want to hear and ignore what I don’t want to hear. “It means there is no cheesiness.”
Namgoong Heewon shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“Do you have any nicknames other than your name?”
“doesn’t exist. “I am not a martial artist, but a mercenary.”
“He’s not a martial artist, he’s a mercenary. “Does this mean you’re not from Moorim in the first place?”
“I am no class.”
Seongmin Lee answered. At those words, Namgoong Heewon’s expression hardened slightly. After a short silence, Namgoong Hee-won chuckled and laughed.
“You were a greater person than I thought. It seems like you are already knocking on the door of transcendence. “Am I right?”
“I am not a martial artist.”
“You learned martial arts.”
“I got used to it. But like a ‘real’ martial artist like you… ”
“It’s quite a funny thing to say that you are a true martial artist.”
Namgoong Heewon laughed loudly.
“I am trained in martial arts and have the surname Namgung. But that doesn’t mean I know ‘Jungwon Murim’. It was my great-great-grandfather who was summoned to Eria as an alien, and he gathered the martial people with the Namgung surname scattered throughout Eria and established the Namgung family in this world. That’s how I am now. I have never been to the Jungwon Martial Forest and I was not born in the Jungwon Martial Forest. “My hometown is Eria.”
Namgoong Heewon crossed his arms while saying that.
“Should I call myself a martial artist? I learned my way of speaking from Sega, and I also learned my martial arts from Sega. Does that mean I am a martial artist? “I was born in Jungwon and didn’t come to this world?”
“But it will be closer to the real thing than mine.”
Seongmin Lee answered. In response, Namgoong Hee-won laughed again.
“Maybe so. “Can you use strong energy?”
“You can use it.”
“But I haven’t been able to complete the rebuttal. He did not achieve the peak of the summit. “So, what about aging and purification?”
“I couldn’t achieve it.”
“Are you saying that the Imdogyang vein was not pierced?”
Namgoong Heewon tilted his head with a strange expression. At those words, Lee Seong-min nodded his head with a shocked face.
“It didn’t break through.”
“… “It doesn’t make sense.”
In response to Lee Seong-min’s answer, Namgoong Hee-won frowned and muttered.
“The Imdok Yang vein has not even been pierced, but you have entered the realm of sword power? “How can that be?”
“… “If the Imdogyang vein is not pierced, does that mean I can’t use the sword?”
“In general, yes. In order to use Qiangang, Qi and blood must withstand the rough flow of internal energy and circulate at a high speed. “When the Imdok Yang vein is pierced, it means that the fastest way for inner energy to flow is opened.”
“Is it that important?”
“Of course it’s important. It is great to be able to use a strong technique without the Imdogyang vein being pierced, but the efficiency is as bad as trash. “The consumption of internal energy also increases.”
Only after hearing Namgoong Hee-won’s words did Seong-min Lee realize that the process of ‘concentration’ he went through while creating strength was in fact unnecessary. He thought that it was simply a lack of skill, but it was not a lack of skill, it was just that the efficiency was not good because the Im-Dok yang vein was not penetrated.
“But what… There might be cases like that. I’ve never experienced it myself, but I’ve heard stories. When the body cannot fully accept the acquired feelings. “It means that the body cannot follow martial arts.”
“Are you saying that’s the case with me?”
“That could happen. But you’d better hope not. In those cases, it’s usually… It doesn’t end well. “Disharmony between the mind, body, and energy inevitably leads to a state of intoxication.”
Lee Seong-min’s face stiffened at Namgoong Hee-won’s words. It was unknown whether the disharmony between mind, spirit, and energy occurred in Lee Seong-min’s current body, but it seemed certain that there was a risk in the long term.
“How long are you going to keep talking about such difficult things?”
Scarlett, who had been listening to the conversation with a sullen expression on her face, suddenly blurted out. As a wizard, she could barely understand the conversation between Lee Seong-min and Namgung Hee-won. At Scarlett’s words, Namgung Hee-won bowed her head as she let out a hearty laugh.
“Haha, sorry. “It’s something that bothers me, so I don’t even realize it.”
“Well, I mean Socheonma.”
It was a pity for Scarlett, but Lee Sung-min couldn’t refuse without asking about ‘her’.
“What kind of person are you?”
“Are you interested?”
“I am not a martial artist, but I know how much weight the nickname ‘Cheonma’ carries. Even if it is called Socheonma, Cheonma is Cheonma. … “It’s just curiosity.”
“Hehe! “How much do you know about these people called ‘Heavenly Demons’?”
“I barely know.”
Namgoong Hee-won laughed at Lee Seong-min’s answer.
“There are three people in current Eria who are called ‘Heavenly Demons.’”
The dish came out. Scarlett gave up on blocking the conversation between Lee Sung-min and Namgoong Hee-won. She stood with her lips pouting and tossed her stir-fry with chopsticks.
“One is Baek Mu-seon, the Blood Heavenly Demon. He has been making a name for himself as a young man who has passed his terms and conditions since about four years ago. The area he is active in is the area of the ice caps at the northern end of Eria. Although he is still young, he reigns supreme in that area. “It is assumed that sooner or later he will unify that region and advance into other regions.”
Lee Seong-min also knows about Baek Mu-seon, the Demon of Blood. Around the time of Lee Seong-min’s death, Baek Mu-seon left the northern region and headed south. Even Lee Seong-min didn’t know what happened after that.
“The other one is the Gwangcheon Demon, Byeokwonpae. Actually, I think this person is truly worthy of the nickname Cheonma. He is quite old and is considered to have reached the heavens in martial arts. Baek Woo-seon, the Blood Heavenly Demon, is definitely a person who has surpassed the pinnacle, but the Gwangcheon Demon Byeok Won-pae… It can be said that he is a true superman who has reached a higher level than that. In addition, he has a cruel personality and lacks mercy in his hands, so he can easily be called a demon. Baek Mu-seon, the Blood Heavenly Demon, reigns as the leader of the northern region and is the leader of the Blood Heavenly Order that follows him, but the Gwangcheon Demon Byeokwonpae does not have any followers. He wanders alone. If he encounters Gwangcheonma, let him run away. “Because he is an unforgiving person.”
Gwangcheonma Byeokwonpae. I know that name too. However, compared to Hyeolcheonma Baek Mu-seon or Socheonma Wijiho-yeon, surprisingly, the name Gwangcheonma Byeokwonpae did not remain deeply in Lee Seong-min’s memory. Byeok Wonpae was famous for his madness, cruelty, and unforgiveness, but he was a person with severe wanderlust and wandered from place to place, so he was never the center of big rumors.
“And the remaining one is that Socheonma Wijihoyeon. If you look at the nickname Socheonma, it looks worse than Hyeolcheonma or Gwangcheonma… Not really. In fact, Socheonma Wijihoyeon is a person who has accumulated in the past, so his power is not properly measured. However, what is clear is that Wijihoyeon, the Little Heavenly Demon, is a monster that has no shortcomings compared to the Blood Heavenly Demon and the Gwangcheonma mentioned above.”
These are the words of Namgung Hui-won, a minor member of the Namgung family. That weight was clearly conveyed to Lee Seong-min.
“We haven’t properly figured out what kind of person Wijihoyeon is. But she is cruel, unforgiving, merciful, bold… haha! It’s full of contradictory rumors. I don’t even know if Wijihoyeon is ‘he’ or ‘she’. However, that strength is real. It is said that she is not even old yet, but she has definitely reached the peak. “Those three people with the nickname ‘Cheonma’ are geniuses that everyone recognizes.”
know. Wijihoyeon is a genius. Lee Seong-min knew Wijihoyeon’s genius more than anyone else.
“you.”
Scarlett, who was eating her meal, raised her eyes.
“Aren’t you eating?”
At those words, Seongmin Lee calmly lifted his chopsticks. Namgoong Heewon also cleared his throat and lifted his chopsticks.
Scarlett didn’t seem to like Joongwon’s food that much. Thanks to this, Lee Seong-min and Namgoong Hee-won had to eat most of the meal. When Namgung Hee-won said she had already eaten, she ate most of the food. When she was drinking the tea that came out of her mouth, Namgung Hee-won opened her mouth.
“I heard you’re going to Shaolin.”

“I guess you overheard what we were saying?”
“Not necessarily. I just heard it. “I have a very good ear.”
Namgoong Heewon answered with a sly look.
“If you are going to Shaolin, how about accompanying me? “It just so happens that I also had some business to see in Shaolin.”
“May I ask what your business is?”
“It’s to say hello to Master Buryeong, the master of Shaolin. Four prestigious families, including the Namgung family, visit Ambassador Bulyeong once a year to offer their greetings. “It’s because of a promise made a long time ago.”
The four prestigious families are the Namgung family, the Moyong family, the Tang family, and the Zhuge family. Lee Seong-min was curious about what the long-ago promise was, but he did not ask Namgoong Hee-won about it. It was because I was a little too tactful to ask such a question.
“I hate this city.”
Scarlett grumbled after finishing her meal. I was looking forward to Jungwon’s food, but it seemed like I was upset because it didn’t suit my taste. Originally, she had planned to tour the city a bit more, but she met Namgung Hee-won and the food was not to her liking, so she decided to head straight to Shaolin.
However, because the city of Bredon was so large, the sun set before we reached the western gate leading to Sungsan. It seemed like a nuisance to knock on Shaolin’s door late at night, so we decided to stay at an inn for a day and leave tomorrow.
“Ah, if you don’t mind.”
Is it because it is near Seongsan Mountain? Or is it because there are many martial people? Behind the inn was a spacious training hall. Namgoong Hee-won, who was looking at him, looked at Lee Seong-min and said.
“Can we at least try a light massage?”
Lee Seong-min looked slightly surprised at the invitation. She never thought that Namgung Hee-won would invite her to dance. Seongmin Lee thought for a moment and then nodded his head.
“… “As long as it’s a friendly match.”
“Of course I will.”
Namgoong Hee-won said with a bright smile.
Scarlett said she wasn’t interested and went up to her room. Fortunately, the gymnasium was empty because no one was using it, so Lee Seong-min and Namgoong Heewon were able to stand face to face right away. I asked the innkeeper and was able to borrow a wooden sword and a baton.
“I thought it was Changsu.”
Namgung Hui-won muttered while lightly swinging his wooden sword. Seongmin Lee took off her barding and stood in light clothing. Although spears and batons were different weapons, it was too dangerous to use sharp weapons in a friendly fight.
“Actually, I prefer the real thing. Since there are no observers, such a dance would be too dangerous. So let’s enjoy it in moderation.”
“I don’t know if I can do as well as you expect.”
“haha! You have too much humility. Well, you’ll find out when you try.”
Namgoong Hee-won took his stance while saying that. Her good expression disappeared and Namgung Hee-won’s eyes shone fiercely. She simply assumed her swordsmanship stance, but it was as if she had become a completely different person. Lee Seong-min, holding the pole with both hands, swallowed her saliva as he watched the momentum flowing from Namgung Hee-won.
This one thing was clear.
Namgoong Hee-won was strong.
