Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 25

9. Cheonjo Uncentrifugal Gong

The subtle tension flowing between Cha Shin Hyeon and Lee Ji-hye was vaguely felt by Cha Eun-seol with a sharp sense.

Of course, unaware of the existence of her electric tone, she could not figure out the reason for her tension. Still, she spoke her words carefully, as part of her effort to mediate between the two of them in her own way.

“car… … May I give you some?”

“Oh, it’s okay.”

Lee Ji-hye politely declined.

“I’m sorry I came late, but there’s no point in getting tea and eating. It sounds like you’re going to be sitting down that much.”

She said, turning her gaze to Cha Shin Hyeon.

“I’ll just tell you what’s going on. Cha Shin Hyeon, excuse me, can I talk to you alone?”

– I wish I could do it outside as much as possible.

The last sentence was heard separately in full tone.

It may mean that you ask yourself to go outside.

In fact, Cha Eun-seol would think strangely if he came to the house and asked to go out and talk.

I don’t know what he meant, but that was exactly what Cha Shin Hyeon wanted. It wasn’t even he wanted to keep this suspicious woman at her house.

“Let’s go.”

After a moment’s silence, Cha Shin Hyeon opened her mouth.

“Yes?”

Pretending that Lee Ji-hye didn’t know, she asked.

“Didn’t you say we should talk alone? I don’t know what great story you’re trying to say, but isn’t that saying that Eunseol doesn’t want to hear that conversation?”

“Yes.”

“So, let’s go out and talk. I can’t tell the landlord to leave.”

The apartment is not spacious and Hunter’s hearing is excellent. If I tried to listen, I was able to catch enough conversations in the house. Unless you talk while whispering.

If security is important, Cha Shin Hyeon’s suggestion to go out and talk was justified at first glance.

“It’s nice because it’s cool. That’s what I wanted to ask you.”

Lee Ji-hye snorted as she flirted with the subject she had asked for with her whole tone.

“Oh, brother…”

“Okay. Don’t come over soon.”

Cha Eun-seol, who had a slightly anxious voice, was extensively read by Cha Shin Hyeon.

“Don’t worry too much, Chief Cha. Would you like me to catch you and eat you?”

Lee Ji-hye said with a smile.

Although it took her accent on the word ‘q’, she was in front of her boss and she couldn’t even point it out.

Cha Eun-seol bit her lip.

“Let’s go. I’m sorry that you seem to be kicking me out as soon as it arrives.”

“I’m so sorry. What?”

Giving and receiving, the two of them walked out the front door with humility.

– Rest.

Just before the door closed, Cha Shin Hyeon gave her sister a relaxed smile.

Cha Eun-seol seemed a little surprised at the hye-gwang-sim-language that was shared with him, but soon he could see that his expression softened a little.

bang.

The front door was closed.

The smile immediately disappeared from Cha Shin Hyeon’s face.

There was only silence between the two of them until the elevator arrived and they reached the first floor.

As if they had already arranged an appointment, they walked to my playground in front of the apartment complex. To be precise, Cha Shin Hyeon walked towards it and Lee Ji-hye followed her.

It is said to be a summer day when the sun sets late, but now, as we run towards 9 o’clock, it is still a dark time. There was no one in the playground with only one streetlight on.

Cha Shin Hyeon sat down on the bench and Lee Ji-hye sat next to him.

Of course, she wasn’t close like a lover, but she was far enough to fit a person in the middle. A cold air flowed through the empty space.

“You must have been very upset.”

Lee Ji-hye spoke up after a while.

“… … Well, it’s embarrassing.”

Cha Shin Hyeon followed suit.

“It would be more accurate to call it absurd.”The tone of voice suddenly returned to a plain language that was close to half-speak.

This is because Lee Ji-hye’s position was downgraded from her ‘her sister’s boss’ to ‘very suspicious’.

Lee Ji-hye did not specifically point out that point.

Talking was a good thing. Language is the realm of habit, and as long as the habit is of an understandable kind, there is no reason to be offended no matter what the other person says.

First of all, there was a much more important matter now.

she asked with a soft smile.

“Is it because of the celestial spirits?”

“You know exactly.”

Thousands of uncentred souls.

The Dokmun Warriors of Baekuncheon, who is considered the greatest warrior in Moorimsa Temple.

The rare inner-gong-sim method, known to have been put into practice after Baek Un-cheon’s death, was passed down to Cha Shin Hyeon.

However, the moment when that Cheonjo Mucent Gong met Lee Ji-hye, he reacted.

As if recognizing and rejoicing in their fellow countrymen, a faint resonance arose when they encountered the powers of the same temperament cultivated in the same way. It wasn’t a vibration as strong as the vibration of a cell phone, but it wasn’t so weak that Mu-in, who was sensitive to body changes, couldn’t even notice it.

‘I didn’t expect this to happen.’

Lee Ji-hye’s martial arts level, which he understood, was comparable to that of Moorim’s teenage masters. In terms of the combined level of external and internal, it would be a little over 60.

It was great enough.

It’s because the comparison target, Cha Shin Hyeon, is too high.

At only (?) level 60, she cannot see through the true body of Cha Shin Hyeon. If he wanted to, he could make him look like a full-fledged normal person, or he could give him a huge burden like a mountain.

But suddenly a resonance occurred between the two, and Lee Ji-hye immediately recognized that Cha Shin Hyeon was uninhabited.

She could have prevented it if she had known beforehand. Even if the resonant resonant when one thousand and one centrifugal ball meet was a phenomenon that the creator of martial arts ‘intentioned’, Cha Shin Hyeon was able to forcefully control it.

But I didn’t even know that such a phenomenon existed, so how can I prepare for it?

I couldn’t help but not know.

Although he has lived in Moorim for 140 years, he has never seen a warrior other than himself who has mastered the Tenjo non-centrifugal ball!

“How are you learning that martial art?”

The fact that Lee Ji-hye was learning the same inner-gong-sim method as herself was not a problem.

Just because several people are learning it doesn’t mean that the value of the martial arts decreases, and learning the same thing doesn’t necessarily lead to the same level.

Does the season of Shaolin decline because hundreds of monks are learning it? Do all the monks who have mastered the excellent martial arts become supreme masters and criticize the world?

Ultimately, it is a matter of your own talent and effort.

In fact, like Cha Shin Hyeon and Lee Ji-hye, there is a stark difference.

The problem is that the ‘same inner gong spirit method’ is a thousand trillion uncentred gong.

“It’s a martial art that is already rumored to be a legend, so you’re asking where the hell did you get it?”

Lee Ji-hye blinked.

“So, Mr. Cha Shin Hyeon, where did you get such a precious weapon? Wasn’t this a cave where one secret book, one schematic book, and one commentary came together?”

At that answer, Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes narrowed slightly.

It’s not because he’s learned it, but objectively, Cheonjo Muwonshim Gong falls within three fingers of all Naegongsimbeops that exist in Kangho.

Considering that the other two belong to the Shaolin and Cheonmagyo (天魔敎), which have a long history and have been continuously developed, it can only be said that they are great in terms of individual martial arts.

How did such a great martial artist come into the hands of Cha Shin Hyeon?

‘It must have been the consideration of a transcendent, a god-like existence.’

Cha Shin Hyeon guesses so.

To be honest, there is nothing you can do if an ordinary college student is suddenly thrown into Moorim.

Even when I’m young, I’ll try to do chores in the countryside and try to learn even in the public eye, but there is no school that teaches martial arts to a 20-year-old man.

At the most, it’s just like going to a Taekwondo dojo to learn basic martial arts from a military officer.

I didn’t learn anything, but if I just wield my sword hard, would I become a master?

If that were possible, I would have become a master by myself even when I was on Earth.

Even if you have learned the basics, the effort is meaningful. It was physically impossible to become a master unless you got even a bit of giyeon.

Maybe that’s why, Giyeon was ready from the start.

Cha Shin Hyeon didn’t fall in the middle of a random river, but started trapped in an unknown cave.

It was there that he obtained the secret salary of the Thousand Trillion Centrifugal Gong.

Ji-hye Lee learned the same martial arts, and she recognized herself who had mastered it, and she asked if she had been to Moorim. It even matches the description of the place where the dungeon was placed.

Then there is only one answer.

“Have you also been to Moorim?”

“Yes that’s right.”

Lee Ji-hye responded coolly.

“Stuck in a maze-like cave, eating a meal with a gourmet meal, grabbing a secret that doesn’t make sense even if you read the commentary, and rolling her head. I don’t know how I survived those years.”

“It must have been the desperation that I couldn’t die in a cave.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who remembered that moment for a moment, grinned.

“Of course, after going outside, I thought a lot that it was better to go inside the cave.”

“It’s commonplace. It was a time I didn’t even want to think about. really.”

Lee Ji-hye said with a bitter expression.

It was definitely better than just falling with her bare body, but just because she got one of the best martial arts doesn’t mean her life in Moorim has been smooth.

Her self-educated mental methods were sparse, and she did not have the proper swordsmanship or kwonbeop to match the inner-gong method, so she could not fully utilize her power. It took her over 10 years to overcome this alone.

Besides, Moorim is a bit rough. Everywhere in the unfamiliar world lurked all kinds of dangers that were unimaginable in modern society. He went through countless times of death and suffered numerous injuries.

It was a tumultuous life where I could write a few books.

Perhaps Lee Ji-hye suffered more than Cha Shin Hyeon. Because she was a woman.

Unfortunately, most of the Moorim are not gentlemen, even to beauties with no background. I have sympathy for how tiring it must have been to deal with those who reveal obscene desires.

But apart from her emotional empathy, there were two questionable points.

One of them was asked by Cha Shin Hyeon first.

“But I have one question for you.”

“What?”

“I have never heard of you in Moorim, even of a similar kind. May I know your nickname?”

Moorim is wide and there are many people. He’s not even Wikipedia, so he can’t be knowledgeable about all uninhabited people.

However, the masters who were ‘worthy to be remembered’, that is, the masters of the climax, were grasping at least roughly. I have never heard of a woman like Lee Ji-hye among them.

There were a few female masters, but all of them were from prestigious schools.

It was unlikely that she would be caught between them.

“Even if you tell me, you won’t know.”

Lee Ji-hye smiled bitterly at her.

It wasn’t the kind of expression that felt embarrassed because it was a petty nickname.

“Have you ever heard of the name Blood Plum Blossom (血梅花)?”

“·················· Well, I’m sorry, but this is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

Cha Shin Hyeon muttered in embarrassment.

“You have nothing to be sorry about. It was expected.”

Lee Ji-hye calmly spoke her words.

“It’s like none of the masters I know are Cha Shin Hyeon.”

“what?”

Cha Shin Hyeon frowned.

“Isn’t it that I used a pseudonym? Have you ever heard of martial arts swordsmanship?”

“… … Hearing the nickname of the real-baegi Moorim style makes me cringe all over again. Anyway, I’ve never heard of it. never.”

If you say you don’t know me, I’ll say I don’t know you! I didn’t mean to do such a childish thing.

Lee Ji-hye was serious.

So she was more confused.

“what? Were the times different?”

“well. From here on, it’s a realm of speculation…”

Lee Ji-hye wiggled the tail of her horse.

“Do you remember Kwon Ki-sang of the Guju Jeonghyup?”

“Kwon Ki-sang? Oh, are you referring to the person who served as the magistrate of the government in the past?”

“Yes. The person who must have been the chief of government when you escaped the cave.”

Cha Shin Hyeon paused.

“How do you do that?”

“I was that person when I escaped the cave.”

Lee Ji-hye answered clearly.

“You and I must have been in the same era in Moorim. But you weren’t where I was, and I wasn’t where you were. Isn’t this a concept you’ve heard a lot?”

“… … Parallel World?””Yes. parallel universe.”

As Cha Shin Hyeon exhaled, questioningly, Lee Ji-hye clapped.

“Of course, as I said, it is the realm of hypotheses. The important thing is that you and I have been to Moorim itself.”

“I will.”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes flashed sharply.

“However, the claim is too convincing to be called a mere hypothesis. As if already verified. Isn’t it?”

“You are sharp. that’s right.”

Lee Ji-hye meekly admitted.

“Park Tae-hoon, the guild leader of Twilight. These are the hypotheses that I made during many conversations with that person. It’s been a long time since we broke up.”

“If you look around, you don’t know if there is one Moorim in each neighborhood.”

Cha Shin Hyeon sarcastically.

Lee Ji-hye shrugged her shoulders.

“I searched for it secretly, but luckily it was only the two of us. Now there are three including Cha Shin Hyeon.”

“What is his skill level?”

“Mugong is a little above me. The hunter level should be the same.”

“Hmm.”

Then it’s nothing to worry about.

Even if it is much higher than Lee Ji-hye, it will be much lower than that anyway.

“great. I think the first question is roughly solved. Can I ask you one more thing?”

“Please speak.”

“How did you get back to Earth?”

Actually, this is the real gist.

Cha Shin Hyeon barely reached max level and was able to return to Earth, but she couldn’t even hit level 70, so how did she get back to Earth? Park Tae-hoon, who doesn’t make much of a difference, too.

“Isn’t it the same with you? I’m dead, so I’m back.”

As if asking why you were asking such a thing, Jihye answered with a puzzled look.

“Oh, just in case.”

Cha Shin Hyeon spoke succinctly, skillfully faking it.

He didn’t pay the ticket on the outside, but on the inside he was ridiculous.

‘What kind of return conditions do you have?’

It was only natural that she hadn’t been aware of it all this time. How do you know until you die?

She feels pity for herself in her early days when she struggled to survive and return to her family. If I had just given up, I would have been able to go see you right away.

I wanted to ask a little more detail, but I didn’t want to ask Lee Ji-hye right away, who was thinking that Cha Shin Hyeon was also dead and came back. Opportunities seemed to have to be postponed until later.

After he did not speak for a while, Lee Ji-hye spoke.

“So, have you answered all my questions now?”

“Well, for now.”

Cha Shin Hyeon nodded his head quietly.

“Thanks for your kind reply, I learned a lot. Thank you.”

“What. If I don’t contact you forever, I don’t know, but if I do, I’ll tell you in the end. Wouldn’t it be better to open up and build trust with something to hide?”

Lee Ji-hye smiled softly.

“In a way, it’s like an alumni. Because I learned the same martial arts. I want to keep the relationship as smooth as possible.”

“That’s a smart idea. I also have no intention of being hostile to the deputy guild leader of the Dawning.”

“If yes, I’m happy.”

Much of the cold air at the beginning disappeared, and the atmosphere between the two became warm.

It was the power of conversation.

In such a good atmosphere, Lee Ji-hye carefully opened her mouth.

“Really, can I ask you just one question?”

“any amount.”

Cha Shin Hyeon readily accepted.

Lee Ji-hye, who had been hesitating for a while, asked in a tone that was as insignificant as possible.

“Director Seo Kang-jin, did you do that?”
