◈ Episode 160. Reconstruction of no newspapers. (One)
It didn’t take long to absorb the names of the Four Heavenly Kings.
If you had to think about the time it took, it was only about 3 minutes.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk opened his eyes after absorbing the names of the Four Heavenly Kings in that short period of time.
“oh.”
Without realizing it, I let out a sigh and smiled.
[Is it effective?]
Barce’s question.
Kim Joo-hyuk responded by nodding his head.
“It’s not just good, it’s really good?”
[Did they immediately return to their prime?]
“No, not that.”
Kim Joo-hyuk speaks decisively.
Of course, after absorbing the Four Heavenly Kings a little while ago, Kim Joo-hyuk felt that he didn’t have much time left until he regained his prime strength.
‘It’s still a little lacking.’
In Kim Joo-hyuk’s opinion, he still lacked the power of his prime.
‘I think I just need to absorb at least one more name from the Four Heavenly Kings.’
Such thoughts passed through his mind, but Kim Joo-hyuk shook his head and shook off his regret.
Anyway, whether he wanted it or not, it seemed like the Four Heavenly Kings would definitely come down again.
‘More than that… … .’
Kim Joo-hyuk looked inside himself again and was impressed once again.
‘Is this really ridiculous?’
The reason why he was surprised to absorb the names of the Four Heavenly Kings was obviously due to his ability level rising evenly and steeply, but this was more important than that.
‘No, is it okay for the bowl to be this big?’
As Kim Joo-hyuk explained last time, all humans, including Kim Joo-hyuk, have a set vessel.
And it was not easy to enlarge the bowl.
But what about Kim Joo-hyuk now?
‘If everything grows perfectly in this state, I can become stronger than I was in my prime.’
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk has said that before, and even before absorbing the Four Heavenly Kings, he thought he could surpass himself in his prime.
But honestly, it was a bit ambiguous at the time.
Kim Joo-hyuk’s bowl definitely grew, but no matter how much it stretched, the size of the bowl did not become abnormally large.
But now?
‘It has definitely expanded. That too, to the point where I can really feel it.’
Kim Joo-hyuk couldn’t help but smile because he felt that the limit, which had felt vague last time, had clearly increased this time.
In any case, the fact that there is still room to become stronger is a positive driving force for Kim Joo-hyuk in every way.
[Then again, it’s potential.]
“answer.”
Barce, who was silent for a moment in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer, soon spoke.
[It’s definitely a bit surprising.]
“what?”
[Potential.]
“You mean the bowl expands?”
[right. At least I think it’s a bit unusual that no matter how many names you absorb, your potential increases.]
“okay?”
[In the first place, the act of absorbing a name is not about taking away someone else’s potential, but ultimately replacing the name with power and absorbing it. In short, it is a bit strange that potential increases by absorbing a name.]
“But it’s increasing, right?”
[So that’s why it’s strange.]
After answering that, Barce remained silent for a long time as if he was thinking about something, and then answered as if he was muttering.
[This is like recovering something lost… … .]
“Recovering what was lost?”
[…] … No matter how much you think about it, it makes no sense to increase your potential just by absorbing ‘power’.]
‘… … Am I mistaking the strength of my prime?’
At Barce’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk briefly recalled his past life 300 years ago with such thoughts.
His past life 300 years ago, when he reached his peak and fought Barche, the owner of the Tower of Destruction.
‘It’s not… … ?’
However, no matter how much I thought about it, I could be sure that Kim Joo-hyuk was not mistaken about his strength.
Currently, he was thinking that if he just took one more step, he would definitely be able to regain the strength of his prime.
It was clearly not an illusion.
In short, there was no possibility that Barce’s ‘hidden power’ existed.
In the first place, Kim Joo-hyuk 300 years ago was bringing out all the abilities he had.
[There’s something I don’t know, so I’m not so sure.]
While I was thinking that, I heard Barche’s voice.
“You’ll find out when we catch the next Four Heavenly Kings.”
Kim Joo-hyuk responded like that and relaxed slightly.
“Now then, shall we start training in earnest again?”
He then smiled and said that.

“… … “The Four Heavenly Kings were dealt with?”
“What on earth?”
“No, the Four Heavenly Kings are so fast… … ?”
“If we go down, won’t we all die?”
“f*ck, I was trying to have some fun, but I couldn’t even have fun and ended up falling behind.”
Upon hearing the news that Jang Seon, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, had died, the constellations of the Tower of Destruction all felt the presence of the God of War and were lamenting.
Unlike the constellations of the Tower of Destruction who were lamenting like that, on the rooftop of the Neutral Gate.
“Hmm… … .”
Musin’s disciples were sitting in their respective seats and continuing to ponder.
They continue to worry without anyone saying anything.
The reason why the disciples of Mushinmun are currently so worried is because of what Kim Joo-hyuk muttered to himself after catching the long line.
‘Getting a name like this is like sucking honey, so it’s not that bad.’
That simple word.
In fact, from Kim Joo-hyuk’s perspective, he spoke without much thought, but the four disciples who heard the story.
““… … .””
I have maintained silence ever since I heard Kim Joo-hyuk’s story.
silence.
Silence again.
Everyone in the neutral gate was quite noisy, talking about their own things, but the disciples in the martial gate were still silent.
How long did the silence last?
“Obviously, I hadn’t thought about it.”
“I know… … .”
The ruler behind the scenes agrees with Burigamyeon’s words.
The two of them, who were always fighting whenever they said something, nodded their heads seriously and agreed, as if they were of the same opinion this time.
“That’s right.”
“nice… … “I didn’t even think about it.”
Tugui and the Butcher likewise nodded in agreement.
“It’s clear that Master didn’t like paying attention to anything in particular.”
“… … “We were wrong.”
“As someone who assists the teacher, it is a real mistake to do nothing despite the teacher’s direct orders.”
“I know… … .”
The disciples continue the gloomy atmosphere, saying one word at a time.
however.
“But, now that we know, there is a possibility of fixing it.”
“I agree with that.”
“you’re right. Master is truly merciful and will generously forgive even one mistake. In fact, you’re out of consideration for us and aren’t saying anything, are you?”
In fact, Kim Joo-hyuk really doesn’t have any thoughts, but he opens his mouth under the illusion that it is grand.
“that’s right… … “Master was that kind of person.”
“It’s a mistake.”
And even the Butcher and the ruler behind the scenes agree with Tugui’s opinion.
Burigamen, who was listening to their story, opened his closed eyes and spoke.
“You can’t do anything about the past. “You have to do it now.”
“That’s right, we should do it from now on.”
“This is something I agree with.”
“me too.”
Buriga Mask, who soon heard the story of the master behind the scenes, the fighting spirit, and the butcher, made a very serious expression.
“Starting today, we will build a martial arts gate again in Daegong-dong.”
He soon said that.

In fact, Geomju couldn’t understand at all.
‘Why does my secret eye keep looking blurry?’
No, in fact, it was a common occurrence for the rain to appear blurry for a moment.
In the first place, the secret method that allowed you to understand the inside of the labyrinth to some extent without going down there was extremely unstable.
However, even so, the sword master felt strange because Bian had never been blurred or completely invisible for such a long time.
So today, he was in ‘neutral space’, the space between the ‘labyrinth’ and ‘outside’ where Bian’s main body is, looking inside the labyrinth to check Bian’s problem.
“… … “What on earth is this?”
And only then did Geomju realize why Bian had not been seen until now.
Bian’s main body looks like a giant telescope.
Among them, white debris was stuck near the huge lens that illuminated the inside of the labyrinth.
‘… … name?’
Looking at that, Geomju tilted his head for a moment and thought about it, but then shook his head.
It wasn’t the name that was currently on Bian’s lens.
To be precise, this is trash.
Although he didn’t know what it was made of, the sword master was able to realize that it was leftovers made with magical power.
Soon he felt something suspicious there.
‘whoever?’
There is residue stuck to the lens of this Bian.
This meant that this residue did not occur naturally, but that someone had entered this neutral space and intentionally created residue on Bian’s lens.
Changju’s face flashes in Geomju’s mind for a moment.
“Tsk.”
Geomju frowned, but excluded Changju from the list of suspects.
Strictly speaking, this neutral space was a space managed by him, and if Changju had entered this space, there was no way he would not have noticed.
In short, it was not Changju.
‘… … Then who on earth is it?’
Continuing thoughts.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t think of a person who would come into this neutral space with his eyes hidden and do something like this, so he frowned.
“… … .”
Geomju, who was getting irritated because he couldn’t think of anyone who could be considered a suspect, decided to first clean up the debris that was blocking his secret.
Okay.
Passssssseu-!
A residue that disappears along with blue flames with just one swing of the swordmaster’s hand.
He immediately moved his body and checked Bian’s condition.
“… … “It looks good.”
As soon as he cleaned up the debris, he frowned as he saw Bian clearly visible, and began to synchronize with Bian using his magic power.
Ugh-
A labyrinth situation that can be easily understood by synchronizing with Bian.
The reason why the sword lord was able to roughly understand the situation in the labyrinth even when he could not look down through the secret eye right away was because of the magic inside the labyrinth that could be roughly felt when synchronized with the secret eye.
So as soon as he synchronizes with Bian.
“… … what?”
I couldn’t help but frown.
That’s because just by synchronizing with Bian without looking inside the labyrinth, he was able to very easily realize that Jang Seon, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, had been harmed.
‘So quickly… … ??’
The Geomju tilted his head as if it made no sense.
No matter how I thought about it, it was strange that the Four Heavenly Kings died so quickly.
That’s why he started moving Bian to check the places where Jang Seon’s magic still remained.
soon.
“… … what’s this?”
Geomju was able to find some traces there.
