Homuryeon’s attack caused a considerable repercussion. The story of the incident spread to the extent that it had eventually been thought that someone intentionally spread the rumor.

By the next day after the raid, there was no one in the spear who didn’t know about it. At the same time, there was a rumor that there might be another raid, and it all eventually spread together.

The situation was created in which the people of Uichang watched Homuryeon. The damage Homuryeon had received in the first raid was not great. At that time, most of the samurai guarding the place were seriously injured or died, and a few of the temples were burned down.

Of course, there were not many samurai guards, so if one were to count the numbers, it was only a few. Everyone thought that Homuryeon had suffered great damage. And so, the next surprise became important.

In fact, judging soberly, it was best to search more extensively before receiving the next surprise attack and to find the pleural effusion somehow by drawing out the help of other organizations. One should not create a situation where a surprise attack would occur at all.

However now, the atmosphere had changed too much to focus on that. Homuryeon must completely block the next surprise and even choose to counterattack.

And so, if one wasn’t able to produce meaningful results, the reputation would bottom out in the future. It would be okay if the reputation only decreased, but after that, if Homuryeon was shaken in various ways, the very existence of the place could be endangered. In addition, that could have thrown the Hubei Moorim into chaos.

Due to the circumstances, Homuryeon had no choice but to call in samurai from the outside, and thoroughly prepared for the next surprise attack. If the surprise didn’t happen, that was the problem again, but it was better than being attacked again.

Aside from that, because of such a situation, the area around Heukcheolbang, where Byeok Tae-san was staying in, was very quiet. Homuryeon hardly paid any attention to him. Of course, he didn’t care that much in the first place.

In any case, Byeok Tae-san and his party were all gathered in the exercise room of the Heukcheolbang. Cheon Chushinui, Ilchimkai, and Cho Seo-ran, as well as the ten quarrels, Cheon Gyeongwan and Yu Seoyeon, and all those who came from Haomun.

Everyone was scattered all over the gymnasium, but they couldn’t even move their fingertips to look at them. Cheon Chushinui was lying on the floor, struggling to raise his upper body.

“Okay.” Starting with that, other people got up one by one. Everyone eventually started staring blankly at the floor.

The first of them to move was Cheon Chushinui. He raised his head and looked at Byeok Tae-san.

“Uh-huh. Confucius, aren’t you really doing too much?”

Chushinui angrily yet quickly bowed his head again when Byeok Tae-san looked at him. Byeok Tae-san looked around the group. Everyone seemed to be struggling. But no one complained.

Only Cho Seo-ran had a slightly ambiguous expression on her face, but she did not have any complaints because she had volunteered to participate in the training. She only looked at her party one by one, with eyes a little tired, no, a little pitiful.

If one had to practice this hellish practice every day, would they really be able to withstand it? He was not sure, but one thing was for sure. That person would probably become really strong if they chose to stick with it.

‘But it is unreasonable to study medicine while doing this.’

How can you study medicine while rolling your body like this? Cho Seo-ran looked at Cheon Chushinui and the One Chimney with her new eyes.

‘Did these two hold up to this?’

As Cho Seo-ran was thinking to himself like that, Byeok Tae-san opened his mouth. “Let’s eat first.”

When he said that, they all raised their heads and looked at Tae-san. Their eyes fluttered violently. There was a high possibility that something of it is training.

Cho Seo-ran muttered involuntarily, “If you eat rice… Aren’t you going to vomit everything?”

Byeok Tae-san turned her head to look at Cho Seo-ran and grinned. “Do not worry. I’ll make sure you don’t vomit.”

The smile on Byeok Tae-san’s lips seemed like a devil’s grin to Cho Seo-ran.

* * *

The whole party stretched out. Byeok Tae-san’s words that he would not vomit even if he ate and practiced were true.

However, it wasn’t because it was less difficult. It was so hellish that his body refused to vomit. All the food that came in was broken down and used as nutrients. It was only a one-hour training, but when it was over, one would think that everyone might die of hunger.

A bowl of porridge was placed one by one in front of those who had fallen down. It was a porridge made in advance before starting training. Everyone didn’t even notice when the bowl of porridge was placed. They just dug in in a hurry.

The amount of porridge was not much, but it was able to slightly suppress the hunger. After suppressing hunger like that, he then prepared a meal in earnest and ate a big meal.

Byeok Tae-san just watched. When they finished eating, they all looked at him with anxious eyes. Gradually, the speed of eating became slower. Byeok Tae-san began to smirk.

“Today’s training is over.”

Everyone was happy with that statement and quickly ate the rest of the rice. After the training was over, he thought he could rest from now on.

Wouldn’t it be better to eat quickly to get a quick rest?

“Get a good rest. However, the body should not be stiff. Periodically relax your body so that you are ready to move again at any time.” Byeok Tae-san left those words and went inside the hall.

The party had to look at the back of Byeok Tae-san again with anxious eyes.

* * *

After training and eating, he rested for about two hours, and as instructed by Byeok Tae-san, he gradually rested.

His body completely recovered. Actually, it was a bit surprising. It was said that after training that intensely, no, more than torture, the body would be able to recover completely after only two minutes of rest.

It didn’t take any special medication, just resting. The only peculiar thing was that Tae-san sometimes came and stayed for a while.

After two exams passed, the sun went down and darkness began to come. It took some time to eat, but he wasn’t hungry because he ate so much earlier. Everyone chose to take a little more rest than to fill their meals.

Byeok Tae-san was sitting on the bed in his room, slowly closing his eyes. Instead of resting, he spread his senses and was monitoring the surroundings of the Heukcheolbang. He had a feeling they were coming this way tonight.

How much time had passed since then was unfathomable. Byeok Tae-san suddenly opened his eyes.

“Finally here.”

Those who were anxious to be beaten came. They had not entered the Heukcheolbang yet, but a crowd gathered and surrounded the entire Heukcheolbang. Byeok Tae-san got up from the bed and went downstairs.

Just downstairs, the quarrels stayed. We gathered on the lower floor, insisting that it should be the nearest one since they should be able to worship Tae-san at any time.

As the man descended, quarrels and quarrels came out of the room.

“Confucius, is there anything you need?”

With that Byeok Tae-san nodded and said, “Gather them all.”

As soon as the instructions were given, everyone rushed downstairs. Then, Byeok Tae-san went up to his room again.

After a while, everyone in the hall gathered in Byeok Tae-san’s room. Everyone looked at Tae-san with nervous eyes.

Cheon Chushinui couldn’t help but ask, “Sir. Perhaps… For night practice, what are you going to do?”

At those words, Byeok Tae-san’s eyes lit up for a moment.

“Hmm, it’s a night practice… Obviously, practicing at night has a different taste than during the day.”

Everyone was startled by the muttering, stroking their chin with a serious expression. Everyone’s eyes fell on Cheon Chushinui, almost like arrows at once. In addition to this, the one who was standing next to him stabbed Cheon Chushinui’s side, clenched his teeth, and said in a very low voice, “Hey, hey. Are you crazy? If you want to die, die alone. Why are you dragging us in? You take responsibility for this.”

Cheon Chushinui simply tapped his finger as it pierced his side. “Brother, this is in trouble.”

“What? Are you in trouble now?”

“Do you want to see people who make an accident and hit it hard enough that it doesn’t feel like a hardship right now?”

The invading monster was startled. “Hey, where is this guy threatening?”

“So…” Cheon Chushinui was about to speak, but somehow the atmosphere was strange, so he closed his mouth and looked around him quietly. He was all looking at him in amazement.

And right in front of him stood Byeok Tae-san, staring down at both Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai. “Why don’t you do it? Do you want to continue?”

Chushinui simply laughed awkwardly.

Byeok Tae-san licked his tongue once, and his garage returned to its original position.

“It’s not a joke situation.”

Tension again wrapped around the hall at Byeok Tae-san’s words. “It’s right before the raid. There are quite a few enemies, but it won’t be difficult because there are a lot of clumsy people.”

Everyone swallowed at his words. He didn’t believe in the word “stupid”. We must consider that the standard of that clumsiness was the gaze of Byeok Tae-san.

Byeok Tae-san looked around the group. Compared to those brought from Wuhan, the people from Haomun were relatively inferior. Thankfully, thanks to the intense training that took place yesterday and today, he was not going to die easily because his sense of practice had risen to the fullest.

“I can’t tell you not to get hurt because there are so many enemies.”

Everyone’s eyes widened slightly at those words. If Byeok Tae-san said something like that, wouldn’t it be really dangerous?

“Don’t die, don’t get seriously hurt.”

With that, the tension increased.

“Then I’m going to get a little angry.”

It was as if a thunderbolt was flowing from the eyes of Byeok Tae-san, who said that. Everyone trembled as if struck by lightning.

That similar shock shook the image. Byeok Tae-san said calmly. “It’s coming slowly. let’s go.”

With that, he took the lead. The group followed, and they eventually came up to a nearby large dance hall.

“Stay here till the end.”

At that, Ok Hwa asked Byeok Tae-san with a puzzled expression. “Do I have to be here?”

When Byeok Tae-san looked up at her haunted house, she was quick to speak. “It’s too spacious. Enemies will come from all sides, and this is not an easy structure to sustain.”

Byeok Tae-san shook his head. “Here she has to endure.”

“Yes?”

Ok Hwa’s eyes widened slightly. However, she soon nodded her head with a firm expression on her face.

“Yes. I will definitely persevere.” Byeok Tae-san would not have brought him here without thinking. There must be a reason.

Byeok Tae-san nodded at Ok Hwa’s reaction. In addition to this, the rest of the people were blown away.

Byeok Tae-san looked around the group, then turned and looked somewhere with a grin. “You came in. Then hold on.”

After saying those words, he took a step forward. At that moment, his figure promptly disappeared from view.

Everyone looked blankly at the spot where Byeok Tae-san had just stood. It was almost like he had never been there since the start.

“How… At what level do you need to be able to do that?” Cho Seo-ran muttered involuntarily and looked at the invading monster.

It was from the expectation that if it was an ambush, he would have grasped the movement of Tae-san. However, the chimpanzee smiled bitterly and shook his head. “We just have to do what we have to do.”

Everyone’s expression hardened at the added words. “If Confucius gets angry… What will happen?”

Everyone looked at each other with determined expressions. Staying here today was not something one could do well by themselves. We should all do well together. In addition to this, one would have to fight organically.

They should be each other’s hands and feet, actively helping each other, and sharing if there was room. A commotion began in the distance, and the sound began to grow louder and louder.

It seemed that the enemy was finally coming. In addition to this, at that moment, a strange energy began to flow through the entire Heukcheolbang.

“The truth?”

With that, the tension increased sharply at Cheon Chushinui’s mutterings.
