Chapter: 43

“Well, thanks to our group leader, our instructor comes to me every morning to teach me what I’m missing.”

This was what Chun Mukeum had not even thought about. Since the morning session was done in the auditorium, each instructor had nothing to do so Impeng used this opportunity to visit Chun Yeowun to teach him basic martial arts techniques. It was his effort to not allow his group to fail, and Chun Yeowun was able to find out who was in his group and what his group number was.

“Well, I already guessed it, but I just wanted to hear it from your mouth.”

The 23rd cadet couldn’t believe that this boy was the foolish prince that Mukeum and Jahyun had told him about.

‘He is definitely not just some foolish kid!’

He was a monster in hiding actually. It was terrifying to guess how fearful he would be if he acquired such power.

“I still got good information from you, so let’s finish it here.”

“R-really?!”

The 23rd cadet became hopeful at the words.

“Yeah. And don’t let other people know what happened here, okay?”

He almost wanted to get up and bow in obedience, but his body was bound so he couldn’t do that. Yeowun grinned and placed his finger on the blood point of the 23rd cadet’s body.

“Huh?!”

The 23rd cadet then began falling asleep. Sending power over to the blood point required some amount of internal energy, but he knew Chun Yeowun had none.

‘He was lying to everyone!’

And the 23rd cadet’s first day in the medical room ended just like that.

A few hours after the incident in the medical room, Submeng visited the medical room as usual. However, he was more excited than his visit a few days ago since Chun Yeowun had finally achieved gaining internal energy within his stomach yesterday.

‘This one is real.’

Submeng was truly astounded. The one week he first spoke of was actually much shorter than what he expected it to be. His teacher’s way of teaching how to acquire internal energy usually required at least two to three weeks, even months. Yet Yeowun had achieved it within five days.

‘Hehe... I can move on with the next steps then.’

He now realized why his colleagues told him to take an apprentice. If the apprentice was talented, it gave the teacher more satisfaction in teaching.

“Apprentice Chun Yeowun. Good morning, Teacher.”

“Yes, my apprentice.”

And he was very polite too. Aside from the first day when he came in unannounced in the morning, Yeowun always woke up early and waited for Submeng to arrive to kneel in front of him. Submeng asked, “Where is it?”

“I have it under my bed.”

Chun Yeowun then went to the bed near the window and brought out a small wooden chest. As it was opened, the thick smell of medicinal herbs filled the area. It was the Black Dragon Ball given to students who had passed the first test. This was the medicinal ball that the Demonic Cult created to allow one to acquire twenty years worth of internal energy after consuming it.

Submeng looked at it with satisfaction and drank from his liquor bottle. If he instructed Yeowun to eat this while he was teaching him, Yeowun would safely acquire twenty years worth of internal energy without much loss.

‘That will put him at the start line at least.’

If it happened, that would be a great feat.

“Heh. Oh, but who is that kid?”

“Oh.”
