Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 12

Chapter 12

A sword is a weapon that harmonizes cutting and cutting. In other words, all applications of the sword are based on these two fundamental principles.

“Ah, so that’s what you were talking about?”

“That’s right.”

“Then you should have said so from the beginning. Why are you spreading so far?”

I’m sorry.

“Please be more careful next time.”

Baek Mu-han looked quietly at the sword in his hand.

If it were a real sword with substance, I would immediately have cut that insolent mouth……

“In any case, the first requirement for using a sword is to be able to pick and cut naturally.”

“Yes!”

“Since you said you’re the son of a martial family, naturally you should be able to do this, right?”

“Of course.”

“Show me once.”

Wei Yan-ho rose from his seat.

Then he pulled the sword out of his waist.

“Look closely!”

Wei Yan-ho’s sword showed a stroke and a cut.

Baek Mu-han expressed his honest impression with his body.

“Uf……”

Wei Yan-ho looked at Baek Mu-han with an upset expression.

“What’s wrong with that?”

Baek Mu-han nodded.

“You’re just imitating the form.”

“So is there another level?”

Even a monkey can imitate the appearance! The important thing is to put the true intention!

“……A monkey?”

Baek Mu-han realized his mistake and quickly tried to appease Wei Yan-ho.

It’s just a rhetorical figure, just a rhetorical figure!

“Mmm.”

Wei Yan-ho had an upset expression but nodded.

The important thing is to put true intention into the sword! Why do you think the stroke exists? For speed! To get through the space between the enemy and yourself at the fastest speed! Even with a single stroke, you must contain the will to go through the opponent and yourself as quickly and quickly as possible. If you cannot do so, there is only substanceless form, and the sword cannot develop!

“I see!”

“Then you should try to strike with real intent!”

“Yes!”

Wei Yan-ho raised his sword and pointed forward.

‘Go through the space between you and your opponent as quickly and quickly as possible!’

Display the shape of the opponent.

Then find the shortest line between the opponent and himself.

Through that space, quickly!

Whistling!

Wei Yan-ho’s sword went through the air.

Baek Mu-han smiled.

“Yes, that’s how it’s done.”

Wei Yan-ho went through the air several times as if trying not to forget that feeling.

Then he looked at Baek Mu-han.

– I understand. What’s next?

Baek Mu-han shook his head.

“Not yet.”

“Excuse me?”

You need to push at least ten thousand times, that’s the only way to consolidate the shape.

“Ten thousand times?”

“That’s right.”

“That’s a lot…”

“The martial arts without persistence are destined to lose their shine!”

“Mmm……”

Wei Yan-ho nodded.

For now, it was right to do as we were commanded.

“I understand.”

Wei Yan-ho began to throw himself into the air again.

Baek Mu-han smiled satisfied.

Although his disciple had a terrible personality and was extremely lazy, he was satisfied with his understanding. Even now, with every onslaught he followed, he gradually improved.

Since he was not a descendant of the Baek family, Baek Mu-han had been very concerned about what to do if his understanding was insufficient, but at least the understanding of Wei Yan-ho was not inferior to that of the descendants of the Baek family he had expected.

– No, is he even older?

Baek Mu-han was curious about the true identity of Wei Yan-ho.

The reason why the Baek Family of the Ten Thousand Swords could be called a prestigious family under heaven despite not having many descendants generation after generation was because the qualities of the descendants were all extraordinary without exception.

Geniuses who could appear once every few generations in other families were routinely despised in the Baek Family of the Ten Thousand Swords for not having talent for martial studies.

But Wei Yan-ho’s talent surpassed the descendants of the Baek family of the Ten Thousand Swords.

“It’s extraordinary.”

At this rate, transmitting all your knowledge in just five years may not be a dream.

In this way several hundred attacks continued.

“……”

Wei Yan-ho’s sword stopped.

Baek Mu-han bowed his head.

“What’s going on?”

“Do I have to do more?”

“Did I not say ten thousand times?”

“I think doing this should be enough.”

Baek Mu-han shook his head firmly.

Martial arts without solid foundations can never develop. If you build a fortress on high without a solid foundation, it is destined to collapse! All this is for development!

Wei Yan-ho nodded.

“I understand.”

Baek Mu-han was very satisfied.

Though he complained a lot, did he not quickly understand? His laziness did not seem as serious as he feared.

“…then I will finish the rest tomorrow.”

“What?”

“My arms hurt and my legs hurt too.”

“Of course it hurts when you train!”

“I don’t like painful things.”

“……”

Baek Mu-han closed his mouth.

“And my back hurts and I’ve also sweated a lot.”

“Puaj……”

“So I want to rest today and do it tomorrow.”

“How do you expect to get stronger training like this?”

It’s just that I haven’t done it in a while, I’ll be working hard since tomorrow, today’s the first day.

“You can never get strong if you leave today’s job for tomorrow!”

I said I’ll work really hard from tomorrow.

“……”

Wei Yan-ho said this and went to bed in a corner.

“Y-Yan-ho.”

“I’m going to sleep well, so don’t bother me.”

“No, today’s training…”

“Holy, you talk a lot! I said I’d do a lot of hard work from tomorrow. Don’t you trust me?

I don’t trust you.

As long as you’re human, I can’t trust you.

Wei Yan-ho really had no conscience.

“Yan-ho.”

Don’t worry, I’ll see you later.

As soon as Wei Yan-ho lay on the ground, he fell deeply asleep shortly afterwards.

“Wow.”

Baek Mu-han let go of a sad sigh.

The next day was no different.

For seven days and seven nights, Wei Yan-ho shook his sword quietly and then lay down saying he would the next day.

Baek Mu-han tried to get angry, persuade, beg and even beg, but Wei Yan-ho was not moved.

“Yan-ho!”

“Ah, let me get some more sleep.”

Get up now!

I said I know, I know, I get up, I get up, I say…

“Wow!”

Baek Mu-han cursed the heavens.

Lately his curses had become so cruel that if the Supreme Emperor in heaven had heard them, he would have become so enraged that he could have manifested himself.

Although if the Supreme Emperor demonstrated and knew the circumstances, he could apologize to Baek Mu-han.

“Please get up!”

– Oh, boy!

Wei Yan-ho stood up at once.

You never sleep, man? Oh, yeah! What a dream a dead man would need! But I’m alive! Don’t you know people need to sleep?

“What person under the sky would sleep as much as you?”

Have you searched? Have you searched for everyone? And you don’t know that everyone has different personalities?

Baek Mu-han felt fortunate not to have a physical body.

If he had a body, he would have succumbed to a deviation from the qi or collapsed by the rupture of a blood vessel.

“Puaj……”

What glory did he intend to enjoy?

What martial arts were you trying to transmit?

Why did you leave your consciousness behind to witness this terrible spectacle?

Baek Mu-han repented of his decision. “What would it matter if his martial arts were not transmitted? He should have died in peace instead of suffering like that.”

I’m sorry, we’re going to train.

Let me rest a little longer, we’ll train as soon as I open my eyes!

“At this rate, it will not be five years, but thirty, before your formation ends.”

“Mmm……”

Wei Yan-ho seemed a little worried about those words and rose from his seat.

“Ah, how annoying……”

Baek Mu-han’s face twisted horribly.

Is this what someone who has done nothing but push for seven days and seven nights should say?

Originally, this should have been over in half a day and move on to the next stage, but this human has been lengthening it for seven days and seven whole nights!

“Isn’t there any way to learn more easily?”

“……Do I think it’s easy enough?”

That’s why you need to meet a competent teacher.

“I’m sorry…”

“All right, it’s my destiny.”

“Wow.”

Wei Yan-ho reluctantly drew his sword and shook it a few times.

“Ah, I wish my body would move on its own.”

“How can your body move on its own?”

You know, that kind of thing that moves just by thinking about it, without having to force it.

“Achieving that kingdom requires a constant effort.”

“I suppose so.”

Suddenly, remembering something, Wei Yan-ho bowed his head.

“But how did you do it then?”

“At that time?”

“You dropped that stone.”

Baek Mu-han smiled bitterly.

“That was simply to activate a device that he had prepared beforehand.”

“How?”

It’s simple. I just had to pull the rope from a mechanism I had prepared.

“But you said you can’t do it with your body.”

“Good.”

– So how did you do it?

That has nothing to do with the body, just the manipulation of distant objects…

Suddenly, Baek Mu-han’s face changed strangely.

His face was changing strangely moment by moment, until he finally adopted an expression.

It was a broad smile.

That’s right! There was such a method! Why didn’t I think of it?

“What are you talking about?”

I was trapped in the fixed idea that I had no body. Or perhaps keeping my consciousness for three hundred years has left me many imperfect parts? Anyway, thank you. Thanks to you, I have learned something very good.

“…what are you muttering about alone?”

Even in the rude words of Wei Yan-ho, Baek Mu-han did not bother or get angry.

Instead, he smiled as if he was very pleased.

Don’t worry, you’ll know soon enough.

“Old man, what are you doing alone again?”

Starburst!

At that time, a strong explosion exploded right next to Wei Yan-ho’s face.

Wei Yan-ho got a cold sweat and turned slowly to look. A stone that had flew out of somewhere was embedded in the wall.

“……”

Thanks! Thanks to you, I found out! I may not have a body, but I can move stones whenever I want!

“E-that…”

“And if I can move stones, I can also do this!”

A stone in the ground rose slowly in the air.

Wei Yan-ho looked at the stone with eyes full of apprehension.

Somehow he felt he could know where that stone would fly.

“E-wait a minute!”

First we get hit, then we start!

Whispering!

The stone flew to Wei Yan-ho carrying all the resentment and anger Baek Mu-han had felt.

Hit!

Wei Yan-ho, struck directly on the forehead, collapsed on the ground without even making a sound.

“Puaj……”

Wei Yan-ho’s mouth opened wide.

“Alas, ay, ay!”

It hurt so much.

It hurt so much that I couldn’t understand how it could hurt so much.

Why are you hitting people?

Baek Mu-han smiled.

“Head, does it hurt?”

“Of course it hurts!”

“I see.”

A wide smile spread over Baek Mu-han’s lips.

“Then you need to get hit more!”

“That’s disgusting!”

The stones flew from all directions to hit Wei Yan-ho.

Hit, hit!

“Ahhh! Ahh! Ahhhh! Why are you doing this! Ahh! Old man! Ahhhh!”

Baek Mu-han frowned.

Throwing stones was good, but throwing stones continuously and manipulating distant objects was quite heavy.

Also, focusing on creating a physical form made it look twice as difficult.

“Hmm, there’s a good method.”

A stone flew through the air and headed towards Baek Mu-han’s fist. Soon, a stone formed within Baek Mu-han’s transparent fist.

“What exactly are you doing now?”

Starburst!

Baek Mu-han’s fist struck a powerful blow to Wei Yan-ho’s head. With the sound of a gong, Wei Yan-ho was dazzled.

His vision was darkened and sparked. It was really a stone fist.

“Puaj……”

Wei Yan-ho slowly fell back.

Hahahaha, what a method, get ready, you fucking brat!

Save me!

“Shut your mouth!”

– Old man, no, Master!

“You said you wouldn’t be my disciple!”

I will, I will!

No, it’s okay, I refuse!

Don’t hit the same place twice!

“Then I will choose places not reached to defeat!”

That day, the dust raised by Wei Yan-ho’s beating covered the cave with a hazy cloud.
