Childhood Friend of the Zenith – 345 (Part 1)



345 (Part 1)

”'<346th Chapter: Listening to the Reincarnation. (5)

While the intense heat was continuously emanating from the Shinryong Temple.

Unbeknownst to them a bloodstorm was raging on Mount Tai.

Due to the surprise attack by the unorthodox sects’ martial artists several late-stage practitioners were losing their lives.

The smell of blood was gradually soaking Mount Tai.

Among them.

A place where an aura powerful enough to shake Mount Tai was constantly being released.

Kuuung-!

The surrounding terrain was being transformed by the extending force.

Ggeugeuk-!

The soles of the feet swept across the ground.

The pressure being exerted was so strong that traces were left everywhere with each movement.

Crushing and tearing.

Ensuring that it could never return to its original form.

Bi Eui-jin was solely faithful to the essence.

The essence of martial arts is ultimately destruction.

Martial arts to protect someone?

Such a narrow-minded thought had long been discarded from his mind.

To protect something.

In the end one must eliminate something.

Countless martial artists talk about the Shin Seong of training martial arts and elevating their realms.

But the essence of martial arts is violence.

The nobility patience and endless effort that one possesses for that purpose.

He respects all of it.

However.

U: . U: W3.

For the current Bi Eui-jin those words did not resonate much.

To him martial arts was merely a process toward completion.

In the end it was just preparation to break the heavens.

Drop….

Blood dripped from his hands.

He couldn’t tell how much blood had stained him. Just looking at it was chilling.

The blood that soaked him was not his own.

Bi Eui-jin shook off the blood on his hands and looked at the chunk of meat gasping in front of him.

All the blood splattered around was his.

Bi Eui-jin opened his mouth with a blank expression.

“You’re holding up better than I thought.”

It was a compliment.

Just by roughly estimating he thought the opponent would have held out for eight exchanges. Contrary to the belief that enduring ten exchanges meant victory Bi Eui-jin thought inwardly that the opponent would collapse within five exchanges.

It was an incredibly arrogant thought. However Bi Eui-jin was overflowing with confidence.

His martial arts were worth it.

The power to break the heavens and move to a higher place.

That is why he named his martial arts “Pachun.”

Bi Eui-jin looked at something that seemed to be barely clinging to life and asked.

“What was your alias? Was it the Black Night Palace Head?”

The identity of the chunk of meat was the Black Night Palace Head.

“Ha…ah.”

At Bi Eui-jin’s question the Black Night Palace Head barely exhaled as if responding. His condition was of course not good.

“…I…”

The Black Night Palace Head spoke in a very small voice.

“What?”

Bi Eui-jin leaned closer to listen.

Then the Black Night Palace Head’s voice became relatively clearer than before.

“W-why… isn’t it… working…?”

“Hmm?”

Bi Eui-jin tilted his head trying to find the meaning behind the words that seemed to express grievance.

Fortunately he was able to recall it without much thought.

“Oh. Is that what you’re talking about?”

Bi Eui-jin vaguely understood what the Black Night Palace Head was saying.

The subtle stagnation circulating within Bi Eui-jin’s body.

It was something he had felt since he started fighting the Black Night Palace Head.

At first it felt somewhat strange.

It was an energy he had never felt before and the quality felt quite bad.

It was truly a peculiar energy. It not only obstructed the flow of energy but also slowed down his movements.

When he first noticed it he thought it might be a type of poison but it seemed that was not the case. Could it be a type of martial arts that the Black Night Palace Head was using?

Whatever it was it was indeed a hindrance.

But even so.

“You’ve done something pointless.”

It didn’t pose much of a problem for Bi Eui-jin.

“It was somewhat annoying but in the end if you block it from functioning that’s all there is to it.”

If it were poison it would have been troublesome.

But if it was a type of energy then he could simply block it with his qi so it wouldn’t cause any more harm.

Upon hearing that the Black Night Palace Head’s drooping eyes trembled slightly.

“…That… doesn’t make sense…”

He couldn’t properly comprehend what he had just heard.

The energy bestowed upon the Palace Head by the heavens was a lethal energy for martial artists.

Even though such energy had seeped into his qi center.

You blocked it with your qi and prevented it from flowing?

Moreover.

You’re saying you turned me into this state while in such a condition?

“How… how could you do that…? Who the hell are you…?”

Extracting the energy contained within the qi and blocking it off is not something trivial.

It’s not just about finding salt mixed in sand.

It’s more akin to trying to extract alcohol mixed in flowing river water.

How could such a thing be possible?

What is the identity of the person in front of me?

As the Black Night Palace Head looked on in shock.

Bi Eui-jin tilted his head.

“Just do it. What’s the problem?”

If you want to do it you can.

What could possibly be the issue?

Bi Eui-jin couldn’t understand the Palace Head’s words.

The Black Night Palace Head shocked by Bi Eui-jin’s statement stepped back. Bi Eui-jin turned his head to look in a certain direction.

It was where the Shinryong Temple was located.

If it wasn’t a delusion it seemed something was happening over there.

Since his perception didn’t reach that far he couldn’t be sure but he could tell something was going on.

‘Is that… that kid?’

The unique aura that could be felt even faintly. Along with a denser killing intent and aura that brushed past Bi Eui-jin’s cheek.

This kind of flame was similar to what that kid whom he was trying to mark possessed.

What was slightly puzzling was.

It felt much denser.

And much hotter.

In that moment he wondered if it had become stronger beyond the wall…. Bi Eui-jin shook his head at such thoughts.

That kid was at the peak of maturity.

But to reach beyond that Bi Eui-jin felt that the preparation seemed somewhat lacking.

He was still very young.

At his age he hadn’t even reached the peak.

It was already remarkable that he was looking beyond the peak.

If he continued to grow like this he might reach that level by the time he surpasses his youth.

‘If that happens he will truly be remembered in history.’

Reaching the peak at a young age.

It was something no one in history had ever come close to.

That’s why it was even more tempting.

That kid who possessed such talent. That kid who had a body to support it.

‘What a pity what a pity.’

Bi Eui-jin once again felt how inadequate his own body was.

He had filled the weak acupoints and the unimpressive body with training and experience.

He had filled the too-small vessel with the inner dan and spirit dan he had in his reserve. But that was just a temporary fix.

Bi Eui-jin was being held back by his weak body and shabby qi preventing him from reaching the peak.

How big of a problem that was.

The first problem was that he couldn’t complete any of the movements of the Tua Pachun martial arts he had ingrained in his body.

The second problem was that even using it about ten times would put a strain on his body.

After all it was martial arts created to fit the previous life’s self.

If he lacked talent and his body couldn’t support it it was only natural that he couldn’t use the martial arts.

Now having used the first and second forms about six or seven times if he used it a few more times he would face overload.”’
