◈ Episode 231. Underground people (3)
[Didn’t I tell you? You are not learning. It reminds me of it.]
Kim Joo-hyuk looked blankly at the scene in front of him.
A landscape that he had never seen before unfolded in his past.
[Come to your senses.]
The scenery spread out in front of him was trees and mountains so wide that there was no end to them.
A landscape where you can’t really see anything else but the mountains and trees.
there.
Kim Joo-hyuk was looking at a man.
Of course, I couldn’t see the man’s face properly.
All you can see is the very luxurious clothes the man is wearing.
On the other hand, Kim Joo-hyuk, who checked the figure in the corner of his eye, realized that he was wearing very poor-quality clothes.
Even as Kim Joo-hyuk was checking his surroundings, the man in front of him started talking to Kim Joo-hyuk.
Most of the stories are about martial arts.
And while listening to that story, Kim Joo-hyuk was suddenly able to infer that the man in front of him was having a conversation with him.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was watching the memory, couldn’t hear it, but the man was obviously listening to Kim Joo-hyuk’s words and opening his mouth as if reacting.
[You never give up your stubbornness.]
The man said that and shook his head.
Although he couldn’t see his expression, Kim Joo-hyuk thought that his expression was definitely not that good.
In fact, his behavior was because Kim Joo-hyuk kept making gestures that made him feel very troubled.
[Yes, I admit it. I fully acknowledge that a guy who had nothing rose to the level of evil.]
[In addition, I think it is quite remarkable that he reached this place by doing something shocking, taking away everything he had.]
[However, do you really think that continuing to throw away everything is right?]
Kim Joo-hyuk said something in response to that question.
It’s also quite long.
Kim Joo-hyuk was curious about what on earth he was saying to the man, but he focused again on the man’s next words.
[Yes, you can think so. You may mistakenly believe that what you have now was something you could only get after throwing away everything you had built up until now. It’s totally worth it.]
[But no, everything from one to ten is wrong.]
The man said that and stood directly in front of Kim Joo-hyuk.
[Well, there is no frame in martial arts? Does one become a heavenly being only after throwing away everything? Yes, you are absolutely right. At the end of nothingness, there should be no frame, and no matter how strong one is, there should be no older brother.]
[Similarly, the Lord of Heaven also said that he reached the pinnacle of nothingness only after abandoning everything. You are right.]
A man who admits the fact in a very plain voice, unlike before.
At this, Kim Joo-hyuk frowned and made a puzzled expression.
Kim Joo-hyuk couldn’t help but frown at the man’s next words.
[But, that’s not you.]
Unlike before, the man’s voice became very serious and he began to open his mouth as if to criticize Kim Joo-hyuk.
[Do you think you have realized everything? Don’t talk nonsense, you haven’t even been able to properly draw the few strokes that make up the character wu (武) yet.]
[Shall I try to guess what’s in your head right now? What’s in your head right now is arrogance and arrogance. Apart from those two there is nothing. Just like a fool who thinks he has reached the end of nothingness.]
[You haven’t awakened Mu yet. Yeah, not a single one. You must not abandon radish, much less follow the Heavenly One.]
[Because in the first place, you are an idiot who has not yet realized or completed anything.]
As the man’s blatant beatings and swearing continued, the Kim Joo-hyuk in his memory pulled out his sword.
The next moment.
The man pulled out his sword.
In a very peaceful posture.
And then, when Kim Joo-hyuk lunged at the man, the man lightly swung the sword he was holding upright.
“!”
That was the end of the memory.
Kim Joo-hyuk came to his senses again.
What he saw was an underground person looking at him with a bizarre smile.
The sight of numerous chains and a bluish cave behind it reminded me that this was not a world of memories but reality.
and.
“under.”
Kim Joo-hyuk smiled without realizing it.
“Kkkik?”
Jihajiin’s expression, who had been smiling just a moment ago, changed strangely, but Kim Joo-hyuk did not pay any attention to it and pondered what he had just said.
What the man with his face covered said.
And with that, Kim Joo-hyuk recalled the past.
A long time ago, when he was struggling for a long time.
Cut down all the enemies that were targeting you, both humans and monsters.
Anything that could be used as a weapon was grabbed and used as a weapon.
A time when I was building up my martial arts skills to survive by stealing a little more from others.
At that time, Kim Joo-hyuk had nothing of his own.
All he learned was from others.
It was something that could not be helped.
The world 300 years ago was a world where it was almost impossible to learn something from others.
Especially if it is an orphan who has no power or money.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk coveted what belonged to others.
By coveting what belonged to others, learning martial arts and accumulating magic power, becoming stronger and stronger, he thought he had reached the end.

Yes, he thought so and abandoned his brother.
No, in the first place, Kim Joo-hyuk did not think of abandoning his brother.
In the first place, even though he was learning other people’s martial arts, he did not understand why they were so obsessed with the framework of martial arts in the first place.
At least for Kim Joo-hyuk, martial arts was a self-defense technique for survival.
He couldn’t understand why so many martial arts gave a name to a single swing. So, strictly speaking, rather than abandoning his brother, he did not use him.
Once you learn only what you need and have a certain shape, it no longer maintains the shape.
That was the stance that Kim Joo-hyuk had taken while learning martial arts until now, and that is why Kim Joo-hyuk was not very pleased with the martial arts style that others called his sword.
In the first place, the martial arts style they named was, for Kim Joo-hyuk, nothing more than a swing.
Japanese Mugam of Mushinryu.
From Kim Joo-hyuk’s perspective, it was just swinging a sword.
As for the next point, Kim Joo-hyuk simply raised his sword.
Other than that, all other formulas are the same.
Many people and his students saw Kim Joo-hyuk’s sword and gave it various names, but in the end, Kim Joo-hyuk only used the sword to cut, stab, and block, and there was no clear form for anything.
Because that was enough for Kim Joo-hyuk.
But no.
“… … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk remembered the last man’s sword he saw.
The moment when the sword in his hand goes down and then goes up.
That alone made Kim Joo-hyuk realize that the path he had been taking was wrong.
He was right.
As the man I saw in my memory once said, Kim Joo-hyuk was arrogant.
As the man I saw in my memory once said, Kim Joo-hyuk was arrogant.
Kim Joo-hyuk clearly acknowledged that fact and turned his gaze again to look at the underground person.
The bizarre face tilts its head with an expression that makes it impossible to understand him.
Seeing that, Kim Joo-hyuk took his stance without making any expression.
“after… … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s condition is the worst.
His body had already been strained to its fullest potential for too long, and on top of that, the bleeding from his wounds did not stop.
But even so, Kim Joo-hyuk was smiling.
Despite losing his memory at some point, Kim Joo-hyuk did not feel as bad or uncomfortable as before.
No, rather, Kim Joo-hyuk even felt refreshed the moment he saw the interrupted memory.
The sword shown by the man.
Because that alone made this memory worth it.
Boom!
At that moment, the underground person who had a puzzled expression just moments ago leaps once again.
The underground man unknowingly gets closer to his eyes as stone fragments bounce in all directions.
Kagagak-!
Next, Kim Joo-hyuk took a stance while repelling the attack of the underground person who immediately extended his hand toward Kim Joo-hyuk’s heart.
Enlightenment was gained.
If so, there was only one thing to do.
The right and left feet are spread forward and back.
Place the axis of your body on your right foot and attach the leaded sword to your waist.
At the same time, Kim Joo-hyuk is positioned so that he can grab the lead sword at any time.
It was the posture of a sword.
It was the posture he used several times 300 years ago, and was also the posture his disciples called him again and again as martial arts practitioners.
However, what Kim Joo-hyuk was trying to do now was not a kick.
“Kkkkik!”
The underground person, who noticed that Kim Joo-hyuk’s momentum had changed, leaps once more at a faster speed than before.
However, even as he looked at the underground man’s appearance, he thought of the man’s sword.
The sword that was lightly raised from below.
If you imitate that sword, will you be able to stop the underground person in front of you? A thought appeared in his mind for a moment, but he shook his head.
What Kim Joo-hyuk was trying to do was not imitation.
What he is trying to do is recall.
The man in my memory said that.
In a very pathetic way, he said that what I need is to remember, not to learn.
That was right.
No matter how hard Kim Joo-hyuk tried to imitate the man’s sword right now, he couldn’t clearly imitate the sword he showed.
Therefore, instead of imitating, Kim Joo-hyuk chose to recall.
A long time ago, when he knew nothing and was learning by stealing from others, he created his own form in a crude way.
Ugh-!
When the distance from the underground person was about five steps left, in that short, split-second moment, purple magic power burst out from Kim Joo-hyuk’s body.
Four steps.
At the same time, the handle of the village sword was grabbed by the left hand that was not holding anything.
Three steps.
The sword began to be pulled out of Kim Joo-hyuk’s hand.
Lee Bo (二步)
Along with the silent sword, the things that Kim Joo-hyuk had treated as useless and discarded begin to flow through his sword once again.
One step
A sword that had nothing in it contained countless harmonies and countless mysteries at the same time.
At the end.
Japanese eclipse (一式).
Wow!
Gaebyeok (opening gate).
He remembered the shape he had made for the first time.
and.
[Look, you’re good at it, right? Obscurity.]
Kim Joo-hyuk heard his name.
