Chapter: 145

Inside the cave, there was only one small candle that brightened the area. Yeowun bit on the hard grain.

‘Ugh, this is terrible.’

Chun Yeowun was given five days worth of grains and was locked here to train alone. The entrance was sealed tight and the cave was dark and stuffy, which made it harder to train. Nonetheless, Chun Yeowun didn’t feel too bad while spending his time here as he was training with Augmented Reality.

‘It’s fortunate that the guards don’t watch what I’m doing.’

The guards stayed on the outside of the gate, so he didn’t worry about being noticed. Yeowun then concentrated on training late into the night and now he was eating his grain.

“Huh?”

Yeowun then heard the vibration of a rock being pushed away. There were still three days left for him to be freed, but the door was pushed open and fresh air swept in.

‘Hmph.’

Then, someone came in slowly wearing black attire. It was an old man with a weird-looking staff.

“So, you are Chun Yeowun.”

His voice had hatred in it. Yeowun then focused his internal energy and the old man reached toward him. Then, powerful energy stormed within the cave, throwing Yeowun up into the air.

Chun Yeowun was shocked. He had never felt such powerful energy ever since he had learned martial arts. Telekinesis. It required a very high amount of internal energy and a lot of understanding of qi, but it allowed one to even lift a person up into the air.

‘He’s a powerful warrior.’

Yeowun had unleashed 100% of his energy, but even he couldn’t resist against the power. And the old man was very hostile; Yeowun could feel it on his skin.

‘I will get killed if I don’t do anything.’

Yeowun then tried all he could to regain control over his body. As his muscles became tense, the body began to move slowly.

‘This boy has a tremendous amount of physical power.’

The internal energy was only at about sixty years worth, but Yeowun’s muscle strength was like that of a monster. The old man had seen many warriors in his life, but he had never seen a man with this amount of muscle strength. It was due to the Nano Machine strengthening Chun Yeowun’s muscles so that he could physically damage the blue pearl stone.

‘He resists too much. Hmph.’

As Chun Yeowun kept on squirming, it sucked too much energy from the old man and he made a gesture to pull him in. Yeowun was then sucked toward the old man’s hand.

“Argh!”

The old man grabbed Yeowun’s neck. The energy was so powerful that even a slight twist was going to snap Yeowun’s neck. That’s when Yeowun heard Nano’s voice in his head.

[Detected powerful hostile energy threatening the user. Activating Emergency Defense mode.]

But Yeowun put a stop to it quickly.

‘No, Nano. Hold for a second.’

Nano’s defense mode was to send out electricity from the body, but Yeowun thought the enemy was too powerful for such an attack to work. If it failed, then it was only going to make the enemy even angrier.

‘If this old man wanted to kill me, he would have done so already.’

Yeowun’s guess was correct. The old man could have killed Yeowun the moment he barged in here. Although he was still wary of the old man, Yeowun stopped resisting the old man smiled.

“I wanted to come see the one who made waste of my grandson. You seem to have grasped the situation quickly.”

If Yeowun tried to resist in some way, he would have been attacked with the incoming energy, thus damaging his internal organs.
