Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return

Episode 41

“Wow….”

Hong Won-chang, who returned to Honam from Beijing, was sitting in his office for the first time in a long time, looking at the backlog of work.

The first thing that caught my eye was the disfigured appearance of criminals who were notorious in the Honam area.

“Murder, rape, smuggling… Wow, why are there so many thieves?” Hong Won-chang scratched his head. As the great power of Mt. Changbaek disappeared, the Honam area was literally turning into chaos.

Criminals and bandits who had been holding their breath while watching Changbai Mountain began to raise their heads.

I thought that security would have improved as many issues had been resolved, but with these wolves showing up one by one, I was worried that the Honam area would soon become a lawless area.

” huh?”

At that time, Hong Won-chang looked intently at a sheet of facial information.

The crime was quite serious.

Murder, opium trafficking, human trafficking.

Murder alone carries a heavy enough punishment, but it is said that he is also involved in human trafficking and opium trafficking, which should never be done.

It was a good thing that they had not been caught yet.

Moreover, the main area of activity was the Honam area.

“I guess this guy was also hidden by Changbai Mountain.”

Hong Wenchang sighed heavily. These big names may not have been revealed until now because there must be someone behind them.

Catching it was a problem, but it was also a problem after catching it.

Although I would like to decline the headache.

“What’s this guy’s name… Jang Sam-tae?”

Hong Wenchang rubbed his eyes and looked down at the disfigured figure again. However, the name was still written straight and not gone.

“Jang Sam-tae?!”

It wasn’t a mistake.

Indeed, the name Jang Sam-tae was written on his appearance.

Hong Won-chang looked blankly at his appearance, looking as if he had been hit with a hammer.

“Do I really do this?”

“okay.”

Kwon Moo-jin and Jang Sam-tae stood side by side and looked around.

The place, not far from the manor, was full of poorly trimmed trees, bushes, and rocks.

Four people were standing there looking at it.

Dan Woo-hyeon, Dan So-mi, Kwon Moo-jin, and Jang Sam-tae.

Surrounding them were axes and other farming tools, as well as a huge hammer to break rocks.

“I will till the fields.”

The faces of Kwon Moo-jin and Jang Sam-tae became contemplative. It wasn’t something I said as a joke.

Dan Woo-hyeon really seemed intent on cultivating a field here.

‘ are you kidding?’

There were trees everywhere and rocks were deeply embedded here and there.

It will take tremendous effort to chop down trees, break rocks, and level the land. In that case, it would have been better to hire workers.

It’s not like he doesn’t have the money, but Woohyun said this with a grin.

“You guys do it.”

Kwon Moo-jin and Jang Sam-tae looked at each other dumbfounded.

‘Shall I run away?’

The two people had the same thought at the same time.

“What about Somi?”

“Hmm… you listen to this.”

Dan Woo-hyeon handed over a small scythe that was lying on the floor. It was the perfect size for small hands, so it seemed as if it had been made for Dansomi from the beginning.

“This one?”

“okay. And come here and see.”

Dan Woo-hyeon headed to a small bush nearby. The fully grown weeds were quite tough.

It was so thick that even cutting it seemed impossible unless you knew how to use a sickle.

“The trick is very simple. Don’t put pressure on your wrist, just put pressure on your fingertips. “If you apply too much force just because it doesn’t cut you, you won’t be able to cut anything.”

“Huh? So, strength…”

Dansomi held up the sickle and thought deeply.

I thought over and over again what I had just heard. But no matter how much she thought about it, it was an extremely difficult word for Dansomi.

If so, give it a try.

Dansomi sat down and started cutting down the bushes.

But no matter how many times I moved it, it didn’t cut properly.

In fact, it was too difficult for a seven-year-old child to do.

“Like this? “Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

“Yes, you will get the hang of it if you do it.”

Dan Woo-hyeon laughed as he watched Dan So-mi trying hard to cut down a bush that wasn’t even cut. It may be difficult at first, but once you get used to it, cutting down small bushes will not be difficult.

“Jang Sam-tae breaks the tree and Kwon Mu-jin breaks the rock.”

Kwon Moo-jin picked up a large hammer. If you use your inner strength, breaking the rock was no problem.

With great vigor, he approached the large rock and struck it down with great force.

But?

Tuk!

Just before the hammer reached the rock, Woohyun’s hand moved and took a picture of his blood.

At that moment, Kwon Moo-jin’s entire body was filled with energy! I opened my eyes wide as I felt it slipping away.

Boom

“Aaaahhh!”

Kwon Moo-jin’s whole body trembled.

I felt the tingling sensation coming from my hand spread throughout my body.

My hands were shaking.

“What… what are you doing?”

“I didn’t ask you to use your inner strength.”

“But how can you break that rock with just a hammer without using your inner strength?”

He folded his hands together and frowned. He couldn’t understand why he had to go back when there was a faster way to do it.

Dan Woo-hyeon, who saw him complaining, smiled and took the hammer.

Then he grabbed it with one hand and swung it sharply towards the rock.

Kwaang-!

Damn it!

“omg?!”

“Tick!”

“Wow…”

The large rock shattered in an instant.

It was such incredible strength that it was difficult to think of it as the strength of someone who had not used any internal energy at all.

“Outside… Outer attack?”

“Nowadays, there seems to be a tendency to prioritize internal skills and there are many people who look down on external skills… Only when there is an appropriate balance between external and internal skills can one survive in a fight.” “Your shortcoming is that you use too much of your ball when swinging the twin swords. “The speed is fast, but the power is not applied properly.” Kwon Moo-jin swallowed dry saliva.

As Dan Woo-hyeon said, most warriors tended to look down on external forces.

However, if I could do what I saw now, I would have obtained another weapon.

‘This… is training!’

Kwon Moo-jin glanced at Dan So-mi.

The grunt and hand movements of the scythe were similar to what Dan Woo-hyeon had shown the last time he dealt with Madok-jin and his subordinates.

Now, Dan Woo-hyeon was not simply trying to till the field.

It is a practice under the guise of tilling a field.

Kwon Moo-jin’s eyes were burning with motivation.

“I will do my best!”

“…okay.”

Dan Woo-hyeon broke into a cold sweat as he watched Kwon Moo-jin shouting passionately.

When I turned my head, leaving Kwon Moo-jin behind, I saw Jang Sam-tae. I saw him holding an ax in his hand and his eyes shining brightly.

“What should I do?”

“huh?”

“How do you chop down a tree?”

“…just lose.”

“yes?”

“Chop down the tree.”

“Won’t you tell me how?”

“Is there any way to cut down a tree like that? “You just have to swing it.”

Jang Sam-tae was very impressed.

The person who taught So-mi to do this and that, and even showed Kwon Moo-jin his incredible strength, just beats him up.

“Like the trick that man taught me earlier. “Is there a way to chop wood without getting tired or a breathing technique that allows you to chop quickly?”

“Beat it quickly.”

“…yes.”

Dan Woo-hyeon stepped back, ignoring Jang Sam-tae, who was grumbling in a voice so low that he could not be heard.

It was truly comforting to see Dan So-mi on one side, Kwon Mu-jin on the other, and even Jang Sam-tae working hard.

‘I could grow corn over there and watermelons over here.’

In fact, there was no need for them to till the fields themselves.

If you put your mind to it and move, Dan Woo-hyeon has the ability to create a few pieces of a field without even having to worry about it.

However, there was meaning in making the work difficult.

It was no exaggeration to say that Dan Woo-hyeon had now become enemies with Sapa after saving Namgung So-hye and saving Kwon Mu-jin.

It’s quiet now, but you never know when their blades will point in this direction.

There was a need to train them to prepare for it.

As explained to him earlier, Kwon Moo-jin’s purpose was to add heaviness to his sword, which focused only on speed as well as external attack, and Dan So-mi’s purpose was to lay the foundation for the martial arts he would learn in the future.

Jang Sam-tae….

‘Hmm.’

Dan Woo-hyeon scratched his head and looked at Jang Sam-tae.

It was very useful to have quick feet and quick hands. Well, since he lived his life by stealing, wouldn’t that be basic?

But what else?

‘It’s absolutely useless.’

Although he is learning Tai Chi, which was improved by Dan Woo-hyeon, his achievements are lagging behind, perhaps because the training time is very short and he is not very talented.

If So-mi were to spar with her when she was about five or six years older than she is now, Jang Sam-tae would most likely not be able to withstand even an inch.

So this is the special measure I came up with.

Chopping down a large tree was never easy.

Naturally, you will gain stamina and strength. Then, there would be more time to learn martial arts, and

it would become a little easier to practice martial arts.

The moment I think about that and smile with satisfaction.

“Dan Daehyeop-! Only Daehyeop-!” A familiar voice came from somewhere.

As I turned my gaze toward the direction of the sound, I saw Hong Won-chang, whom I had not seen in a long time, slowly getting closer.

“Isn’t it Hong Daein?”

Jang Sam-tae looked angry as he saw Hong Wenchang approaching from afar. Since he said he was going to Beijing, I expected him to bring at least a nice gift.

However, I was puzzled by how urgent he seemed. Even his face turned black, as if something big had happened.

He came right in front of me, gasped several times, and then glared at Jang Sam-tae and shouted loudly.

“Yes you bastard! “But you were hiding behind the Grand Council and doing all kinds of evil things!”

“…yes?”

Sreung-!

Hong Won-chang, with his face hardened, drew his sword, pointed it at Jang Sam-tae, and shouted.

“Sinners, receive Ora now!”
