Chapter: 23

‘What?!’

He almost spat out from his mouth.

‘How is he still holding on?’

Chun Yeowun was standing there as if the attack was nothing. Even Mukeum who had about thirty years worth of internal energy through the various medicines he took could feel stinging in his ears, but Yeowun stood there as if he couldn’t hear anything.

‘T...th... that bastard. He had internal energy!’

Chun Mukeum was extremely furious. Chun Yeowun swore that he would not train martial arts or internal energy, but withstanding Hang Soyu’s Musical Energy Wave meant that he didn’t keep his promise.

‘What?’

‘What’s going on?’

Fourth rank Chun Jongsum and sixth rank Chun Wonryou wondered why Mukeum seemed to be furious and they also turned back.

‘W-what?! What’s going on?!’

‘How can he stand like that without any internal energy?’

They all frowned too. They thought Chun Yeowun would have fallen a long time ago, but he was still standing.

‘Nano, if I’m right, those kids up front and the fifth elder who’s playing the instrument are angry, right?’

[Analyzing facial muscle movements. Frustration, shock, and anger can be seen from their facial muscles.]

Without even analyzing, it was apparent that they were looking at him with hostility. Yeowun realized what he was doing was angering them.

‘They thought I didn’t have any internal power, but me enduring this triggered them.’

If this wasn’t solved, it would still be a problem even if he passed the test. He had sworn an oath that he would not learn about internal energy until he joined the academy.

‘Nano, can you give me an internal injury?’

[Internal injury as in damaging your internal organs?]

‘Yeah. Can you do it or not?’

[It is possible, but I do not recommend damaging your body intentionally, Master.]

‘I see. Then can you injure me when the instrument is finished playing and make me vomit blood?’

[Blood through your mouth?]

‘Yeah.’

He was making his enemies angry. If he did not take any internal damage or vomit blood, they would be suspicious of him. He couldn’t take that risk even before getting the chance to learn martial arts.

[As ordered, processing damage to the internal organs.]

After the time limit was over, Hang Soyu’s patience was at the limit. She was already angry that Yeowun had gained internal energy, but he was now withstanding like as if it was’= nothing.

Her tune changed. Lee Hameng quickly sensed the change and frowned. He knew how she felt but she was now forgetting the purpose of why she was playing her instrument.

Before he could send her the message to stop, she began playing the instrument with half of her power. This attack could not be withstood unless one was a very powerful warrrior.

“UGH!”
