#The Calm Before the Storm (2)

It’s already been four days since I started training at Chilsogung.

Jang was in deep trouble.

This was due to Mao’s qualities that exceeded expectations.

“I’m a genius-! Hahahaha?!”

Boom, boom! Mao ran to the main building and before he could even count to one, he was hit by an iron hammer and rolled around with a crash.

“after.”

I could sense deep frustration in Jang Yiseo’s sigh. I thought he could make it to the middle, but at this level, I should say he has no talent at all. His senses are a mess, and the weight of his steps has decreased by about 1 don (3.75g).

Of course, I could guess why.

“In my opinion, it’s written.”

When I looked to the side at the voice I heard, I saw Maeng Hui, the sixth prince, standing there, wiping the cold sweat with the towel around his neck.

“Don’t be like that, Assistant Jang. I’ll be honest. I’ve been watching you all this time. Assistant Jang is good. You don’t suit him. So, instead of him, me and… … .”

“You stupid kid!”

“Uh… … Huh?”

Jang Yi-seo blurted out his feelings in anger and shook his head as if to say, “That’s not you,” to the startled Yuk Gong-ja.

“Ah, Lord Yuk Gongja, please go to the annex and practice on your own. And I saw you before, when you were swinging your spear, you kept tapping your index finger. That’s a bad habit. If it were me, I would have broken it a long time ago.”

“Break it. What, what?”

When Maeng Hui asked, Jang Yiseo strode forward and shouted.

“Your Majesty the Seven Princes! How many times do I have to tell you to lose weight? Oh, I’m sorry. Go and do your work, Your Majesty the Six Princes.”

“Oh, oh. Okay. Thanks.”

Maeng Hui swallowed dry saliva and headed to the annex. Assistant Jang absolutely hated having his index finger tapped. Another line of observation records about him were added.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yi approached Mao, who was lying face down, linked arms with him and spoke.

“There is less than a month left. How can we avoid it?”

“Hey! I’m working so hard! Can’t you see these scars?”

Oh, I can’t see it. Chuck! Mao pushed the ground with both hands he had turned over and sat up in reaction. Judging from the expression on his lips, it was sincere. And Zhang Yi also knew that he had worked hard. That was more of a problem.

“Let me get straight to the point. You, the Seven Princes, cannot avoid the leader’s influence. Absolutely not.”

“Why!”

“Why? Is that something you want to say now?”

“Hey! I can do it!”

“No. I can’t.”

“That’s informal speech!”

Jang Yiseo turned around. I don’t know how it may look to others, but Jang Yiseo was someone whose five senses were at their peak.

The calculation will be done in four days.

The conclusion is, I repeat, no.

And the reason is.

‘It’s not because I lack talent. This guy’s merciless internal energy is actually dulling my senses.’

This is it.

Sense is something that arises from stimulation. So, in order to make sense more sensitive, we had to continuously present a crisis.

But Mao’s boundless polar opposites did not heighten his senses in times of crisis, but rather simply made him adapt to them.

To put it simply, it’s like this.

“Euryaaaaaaa!”

Mao runs back to the main building. Click. Then, just as expected, the ceiling opens and an iron weight falls down.

Boom, boom!

“Ugh!”

Mao bounces back and rolls on the floor. Normally, he would writhe in pain for a while, but he is different.

“Oh, damn it!”

He jumps up as if nothing happened and runs again. And then falls to the ground again. This time too, he gets up fine.

This was exactly the problem.

‘Every time he gets hit, his extreme energies instinctively dig into the wounded area. And the more he does that, the stronger his muscles and bones become, and the faster he recovers. Even in areas where Mao senses pain, his energy gathers in advance to protect him from the impact. This is similar to… … a young monk who has just begun to learn the Shaolin Diamond Indestructible Technique.’

Yes, his internal energy was changing to allow him to endure rather than avoid the crisis.

Thanks to that, the sense of needing to be alert never improved no matter what I did.

Would it be fun to stick a kindling into the sun? You’d think a fly had come and gone.

On the other hand, Matt’s house has become stronger, so instead of trying once, he can easily try dozens of times. That’s because there are no results.

“Jang-seo. Am I really going to die by my father? You said you could do it. Huh? Tell me again. Are you sure you can’t?”

“… … Avoidance is impossible.”

“what?!”

It would be absurd to develop agility and avoid the wind within a month with Mao’s extreme power. However.

Jang Yi-seo said, looking down with calm eyes.

“Survival is possible.”

“how?!”

“Just hold on with your body. Don’t fall.”

“Huh… … Huh?”

“Yes, that will work.”

Jang Seo-ga swept through the main building, the bathroom, and the entrance. If agility is not enough, durability is the key.

“From now on, you must endure unconditionally. The only way for the Seven Princes to survive is to keep your eyes wide open and endure.”

“But… … That’s just telling me to get beaten. Don’t do it! It’s not cool. Teach me proper magic, whether it’s a magic trick or a sorcery!”

When Mao suddenly lost his temper, Zhang Yi calmly shook his head.

“Well, then there’s nothing I can do. But it’s too bad. This is something only Mao-sama can do.”

“Just me… … ?”

Mao’s light ears perked up. Zhang Yishu glanced at it and replied as if it was nothing.

“Yes. It’s not like I can just endure it. But that’s okay. You don’t have to tell me that you’re not learning.”

“What is it? Oh, what is it? Tell me. What is it?”

“Hmm… … You have to keep your eyes wide open and endure it.”

“Hey, you! How is that different from just getting hit!”

“Counterattack.”

Kung! Mao’s two eyes shook greatly at Zhang Yishu’s short words. Zhang Yishu then recited a verse of repentance.

“It’s about enduring the attack and looking straight at your opponent. And then immediately striking them without them being able to respond. We call that a counterattack.”

“F*ck… … Sounds plausible. Keep going.”

“The Seven Princes’ Dadaikkwon. If it hits, it’s hard for anyone to resist. But if you dodge, what’s the use? That’s why you need to aim for that moment when you can’t dodge. Then, that becomes the Seven Princes’ incredible ultimate skill.”

“My own ultimate technique… …?! Something so great… … Can I learn it? Jang-seo, answer me.”

“Yes, well… … because he’s a genius.”

“Genius… … . Uh-huh-huh, woo-ha-ha-ha-ha! I’m a genius! Genius! Alright. I’ll endure it all!”

“Oh, then go.”

“Let’s go-!”

As Zhang Li waved his hand as if to say that he wouldn’t go far, Mao opened his eyes wide and ran towards the main building.

As expected, he’s an easy guy to handle. I guess I’ll just leave him alone for now. If I keep looking, I’ll see the answer.

“hmm?”

After solving one problem, I turned around and saw a familiar figure at the entrance. A woman with a poopy face that made the alley look narrow.

“You’ve done something interesting in the palace.”

The current name of the person wearing the human face mask is Jinsan. The real name is Sa Hae-ryeong, the daughter of the third princess.

Jang-seo smirked and looked at her. Then, after a moment, his eyebrows went up crookedly. He was curious about how she would deal with the trap set at the entrance.

‘Are you going to block it or avoid it?’
