Chapter 11

Wijihoyun

Regular chapter for the week .

I'll be gone for this week because of a family vacation . So there won't be any regular chapters for this week . I think I will still be accepting sponsored chapters if anyone is sadistic enough to make me translate during vacation time .

Smell you guys next week . You guys are lucky that I didn't end with a terrible cliffhanger .

“ . . . What?”

Lee Sungmin sharply asked . He quickly turned around and looked towards Wijihoyun . Wijihoyun had a bored face and was looking at him .

“What’s trash?”

He didn’t know where he got the confidence to ask Wijihoyun . He had gotten a martial skeleton . He had learned the [Genuine Heavens] and had practiced everyday . He knew he wasn’t the best, but he had tried his hardest .

That effort was being called trash . Sungmin bit his lip as he glared at Wijihoyun . Wijihoyun met his glance nonchalantly as he opened his mouth .

“There are way too many unnecessities . ”

First, he criticized .

“The spear is long . Therefore, it’s important to know how to use that length . ”

Wijihoyun held up his hand . He pointed his finger at the spear .

“But you tried to go close to them . There’s no point in doing that . There was no point in using a technique . If you took 5 steps . Just 5 steps, your spear could have hit the goblin . ”

“ . . . I don’t have enough strength…”

“Is it really?”

Wijihoyun laughed .

“Those guys didn’t practice any techniques, and your spear isn’t blunt either . Even if you don’t have enough strength, a spear can stab something . A spear is that kind of weapon . ”

Lee Sungmin listened to Wijihoyun without answering back . It was the first time he had heard things like this . He tried to use a spear before, but no one told Sungmin about spear techniques .

“Of course, a spear isn’t only used for stabbing . You could swing it and beat it . But it’s a mistake to do that when there’s no need to . ”

Lee Sungmin groaned . He felt anger when he heard that his skills was trash, but listening to his criticism, he could understand his errors .

“But, even if the swings were unnecessary, they were practical . The stance is pretty decent… Using the spear handle should be complemented . Unnecessities happen when you study alone . ”

Wijihoyun nodded his head and rated him .

“You’re not bad . Using the skill… I don’t understand, but for one month with no teacher, right? That’s not bad . ”

No, I did it for 13 years . Lee Sungmin drooped his shoulders .

“ . . . Let’s go…”

Lee Sungmin sighed and went towards the goblin . He pulled out the teeth and put the blood in the bottles . Wijihoyun approached him

“Go? Where?”

“I… I have to go to the inn I’m staying at . ”

“What about me?”

“Why ask me?”

“Do I follow you?”

Wijihoyun smiled and asked . To that, Lee Sungmin’s mouth opened wide .

“ . . . Follow me?”

“How’s this? If you pay for my stay, I will teach you martial arts . ”

Sungmin’s mind opened up . He was getting to learn from the Small Pegasus! It was an opportunity that wasn’t even comparable to the Potion he was trying to after .

“Teach . . . teach me?”

“Ah, I can’t teach you the Pegasus’s Grace . That’s only for heads and vice heads . Even if there are no sects here… I can’t teach you . ”

He wasn’t even looking for that . Ah, but he would accept if Wijihoyun did want to teach him .

“Ahah! Isn’t that a great opportunity . Are you going to say no?”

“N . no . ”

Lee Sungmin swallowed . Wijihoyun wasn’t a mean 13 year old kid anymore . Now he was like a God to Sungmin .

God was making him lunch and was basically feeding it to him .

*

“Who’s that?”

Lula who was cleaning the table opened her eyes . Lee Sungmin had an awkward smile as he brought Wijihoyun .

“It’s an otherworlder who was summoned today . ”

“It’s Wijihoyun . ”

Wijihoyun said to Lula . It was Lula who wanted Sungmin to call her big sister, but she only looked at Wijihoyun with her mouth open .

That made sense . Lee Sungmin had a normal face, but Wijihoyun was different .

‘Good at martial arts, good background, intelligent, and with a good face . ’

The world was unfair . Lee Sungmin complained . Wijihoyun was a handsome person even at 13 year . He was young and didn’t have any masculine features yet, but in 5 years, everyone would probably consider him handsome .

“He’s a martial artists from his clothing . ”

Jack muttered . He looked at Sungmin and asked .

“Are you gonna let him sleep here?”

“Ah, yes . I’ll pay for him . ”

“Well that’s fine . There's a lot of rooms . ”

Lee Sungmin had to pay more, but he didn’t care .

He was spending 10,000 Erie for this inn . It was 20,000 Erie, but because Jack was kind enough, he cut the cost by half,

“The cost is 20,000 . With yours, it’s 30,000 Erie . Well, seeing your face, I’ll do it for 25,000 . ”

“Thank You!”

As Jack was being generous, Sungmin laughed happily and nodded his head . He pulled Wijihoyun to the room . Since the room next to Wijihoyun was empty, Wijihoyun was going to use that room .

“First, I want to know what you want to learn . ”

Wijihoyun didn’t go into his room and came into Sungmin’s room . He sat on the bed and looked at Sungmin’s room .

“First, tell me what you’ve learned . ”

“I’ve learned the [Genuine Heavens], [One Thunder], [Iron Skin], [Stone Body], and the Chase Soul Spear Technique . ”

“Ok, where’s the book for the [Genuine Heavens]?”

To his asking, Sungmin lifted the mattress of the bed and pulled out the book . He gave it to Wijihoyun . Wijihoyun looked at it for a bit and clicked his tongue .

“I knew it . It’s not that great . The only good thing is that you can learn other cultivation methods as well . . . Hmm . ”

Wijihoyun frowned .

“What do you want to learn?”

Wijihoyun asked .

“I know a lot of techniques . I didn’t master them all, but I memorized all of them . All of them are peak level techniques, so anything will be of help to you . ”

“ . . . mm…”

How to use this opportunity . Sungmin thought .

He wanted to first learn some cultivation manuals . . His [Genuine Heavens] was better than what he had in his past life, but he would switch if Wijihoyun told him another one .

‘Not a Spear Technique… yet… I need inner strength first . ’

Thankfully, there was something he was thinking of . Sungmin looked at Wijihoyun .

“I want to learn a cultivation method . ”

“I thought so . ”

Wijihoyun laughed .

“Your [Genuine Heavens] isn’t really a great method . It’s barely a first level cultivation manual . There are tens of those better than that method in my head . Do you know what the difference between a first level and an peak level method?”

“ . . . Understanding?”

“That’s not wrong, but that’s not right either . Understanding… is difficult . The difference between those two is the ‘kindness . ’ The peak level methods are ones that have been perfected through tens and hundreds of years . It’s easier to learn and to grow with . ”

Sungmin could agree to that .

“How about the [Amethyst Cloud] . It’s uncomparable to the [Pegasus’s Grace], but [Amethyst Cloud] isn’t too bad either . It’s easy to gain inner strength, and if you practice it enough, you might even get to the limit . ”

Wijihoyun said that and suddenly said the words to the technique . Sungmin raised his hands .

“Why?”

“ . . . I can’t memorize it . Can’t you write it down…?”

Sungmin smiled bitterly . Wijihoyun clucked his tongue .

“You don’t have the memorization skills . ”

Even as he said that, Wijihoyun took a pen and paper from Sungmin and wrote the manual down .

“Why aren’t you asking for a spear technique . ”

Wijihoyun asked as he was writing the manual down .

“I need inner strength . ”

“It’s like you’re saying you don’t need a spear technique . ”

“I need one, but… I can’t even do the spear technique that I’m practicing right now . I don’t have the confidence to use a spear technique better than that one even if I learn it . ”

“That’s wise of you . I saw your spear skills for just a second… it’s barely any use of you to try and learn a better spear technique . ”

The facts hurt .

After an hour, Wijihoyun put down the pen . Sungmin politely received the paper from Wijihoyun with two hands .

‘ . . . should I ask him for some other technique?’

As he was going to read, suddenly, a sense of greed rose in his mind . He didn’t know the reason, but Wijihoyun was being generous to him . Even now . The technique that he gave Sungmin . It was a technique that was incomparable to the Genuine Heavens .

If this news of this manual ended up in Eria, there would be blood with people asking to get it . He had gotten a technique like this for just a inn fee .

Sungmin met Wijihoyun’s eyes .

No . The 13 years of his experience warned him that it would be dangerous to ask more .

“ . . . thanks . ”

“I only gave what I thought was a fair trade . It’s my first friend so I gave a bit more though . ”

Wijihoyun smiled as he said that .

“If you asked more, I would have been very disappointed with you . ”

Wijihoyun added .

“I don’t think that’s being a friend . ”
