Chapter 41: Chapter 40
Book I Chapter 40
…
Il Kwan is currently walking toward the old courtyard with a slightly complicated expression on his face. He once again agreed to train with Wu Jin today along with those four punks.
Arriving at the old courtyard, he immediately saw those four punks waiting outside.
"Senior Il…"
"Senior Il…"
The four of them greeted him with a cup of their hands and a bow.
He cupped his hands in response and then opened the gate.
"Hey, Junior Wu Jin… Have you prepared yet?" he shouted as he strode inside the old courtyard.
The old courtyard might look old, but ever since Hyuna stayed in this place she maintained its cleanliness and there are even flowers growing on the side.
The courtyard looks like a well-landscaped scenery with a large tree in the middle and the sides are filled with flowers of different kinds.
At the back of the house, there are a few plots of garden for rearing vegetables.
Sometimes Wu Jin would get his ingredients in this place and would cook for him, which Il Kwan really liked.
Suddenly the door of the room in the middle of the courtyard opened and a beautiful face greeted the 5 people.
"Teacher!" the four called with a smile on their faces and cupping their hands.
"Why are you bringing a musical instrument?" Il Kwan immediately noticed the Erhu.
"I'm going to try something in this training…" Hyuna said with a smile.
The five of them showed confusion in their eyes and walks out of the old courtyard.
When Madam Il advised her to train and become strong, she has already made up her mind at that time.
She knew that the time has come for her to finally enter the sect properly.
Though she would be a fake cultivator, she would be a cultivator nonetheless.
First, she would just show them some of her skills, and then after she was able to finish the rune array, then she would present herself as an awakened cultivator.
Of course, in her mind, she has already prepared a lot of reasons why she was not able to show it at first. She wanted to pretend to be a low-key master or something.
Thinking to this point she could not help but smile.
While walking, they passed through the woods at the small forest at the back of the Outer Sect and soon reached the secret passage.
However, they did not go through the passage and just walked toward the clearing.
Like their usual practice, the four quickly went into a fighting position.
However, Hyuna on the other side of the group sits calmly on a stone.
She then closes her eyes and held the erhu in one hand and the bow in the other.
Il Kwan on the other hand just got seated on the side while watching this scene.
He has a deep frown on his face as he did not know how Wu Jin would fight these guys using an erhu.
Would he play the erhu, and make the four disciples dance or something?
With a slight confusion in his eyes, he decided to just watch the practice battle.
Swoosh!!!
The movement of Song Dong is a bit faster this time as he was the first one to suddenly attack.
The rest followed behind him.
They quickly jumped into an attacking formation as they did not want to lower their guards.
They have already experienced how ruthless their teacher could be, so they did not want to lower their guard in front of him.
This is already what they have practiced hundreds of times, so everyone is already familiar with the movement.
Ting!!! Twang!!!
Suddenly they heard the sound of the erhu echoing in the air.
This made the four frown but no one stopped in their tracks.
Suddenly from behind Song Dong, the cowardly guy was the first one to jump and threw a thrust attack on his target.
Hyuna still has her eyes closed and continues playing.
If those who have seen this did not know Hyuna, then they would be flustered and worried about the fatal wound this strike could do.
It even has traces of Qi on the sword. So if this strike hits, then it would surely cause a wound or even death to a mere mortal.
But they all knew what kind of guy their opponent is, so no one underestimates Hyuna.
She tilted her head and dodges the strike with ease, and then she suddenly tilted her body to the side as another blade appears from a blind spot.
Suddenly, Hyuna kicked the ground and followed up with another kick as she uses the incoming fist as a stepping platform which catapulted her body backward.
Boom!!!
The stone she was sitting on was destroyed into dust as the powerful Qi surging in that fist collided with the stone.
Astonishment could be seen in the eyes of Song Dong as he put around 30% of his Qi into that attack.
But then the formation attack did not stop there. From behind Song Dong, another blade flew out, but this time it is flying in a very fast manner.
"Arrow blade!" Kil Name suddenly attacks with a skill made his sword fly like and Qi-covered arrow.
Still, with her eyes closed, Hyuna has already sensed this and frowned.
She did not have a choice but to reveal her first skill.
"Sound Barrier!" she muttered in a low voice.
The runes at the back of the erhu flashed.
Then she played a series of rapid tunes which diverted from the tune she is currently playing.
Zing! Zing! Zing!
Suddenly, the Qi-covered arrow which is centimeters away from Hyuna's face stopped in its tracks.
It was actually stopped by a pulsating sound wave barrier created by the rapid screeching of the erhu.
This stunned everyone as they did not believe what they are currently seeing.
"This… How could this be possible?" Il Kwan muttered in disbelief.
He could not believe that he is seeing something that his mother could only create.
But the difference is that, if this skill was created by his mother, it would create a powerful surge of Qi in the surroundings.
Those female disciples of his mother could also create such barriers, but that would expend a lot of their Qi.
However, how could his junior brother who does not have a Qi do such a thing?
That is why he thought to himself that what he is seeing right now is really unbelievable and impossible.
The four who are attacking Hyuna were the most shocked as they did not know how their combined attack could still be unable to hit their teacher.
And now, he is even able to create a sound barrier?
This is truly something impossible for them to believe at the present.
Hyuna showed a slight smile on her face as she suddenly played a few high notes.
After playing such notes, the Qi from the arrow suddenly disappears and four marble-sized Qi spheres floated in front of her.
Then suddenly those marble-like Qi spheres flew out like bullets to the four people.
Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!
Four figures were sent flying in the air after getting hit by their own Qi.
"This is impossible! Teacher… are you a cultivator now? How… how could you manipulate out Qi?" Song Dong asked after he spews the blood from his mouth and picked himself up from the ground.
"Yeah, this is unfair… How could we defeat you with such a barrier…?" Kil Nam grumbled as he is the person who knew most how strong that attack was.
It could even shatter a defensive barrier of a Meridian refining stage cultivator, so why was it not effective against their teacher?
Judging from this alone, the four already knew that they are of no match once their teacher uses such a technique.
Hyuna opened her eyes and a slight smile appears on her face.
A slight understanding could be seen gleaming in her eyes as she wanted to test out more moves.
However, as she looks at the four who looks helpless, she could not help but shake her head at them.
"Alright… alright… Stop your nagging. The four of you did well… but…" she began to give them the analysis and lacked their technique.
After hearing her words, the four were seemingly enlightened as they quickly separated and cupped their hand before they began practicing on the side.
Meanwhile, Il Kwan has an interested smirk on his face as he walked to the center of the clearing.
"I guess it's my turn now…" Il Kwan said with a smirk.
The two faced off, but the four did not mind them. They are all focused on trying their own enlightenment after hearing the explanation from Hyuna.
Il Kwan held his sword while facing Hyuna.
"Ready?" he asked.
When Hyuna nodded, his figure lunges at her like a gust of air without waiting for her to play a tune.
As his sword neared Hyuna's face, she suddenly plucks a few notes on the strings with her fingers instead of the bow.
Ting! Ting! Twang!
Il Kwan immediately felt the convergence of the natural force around him as it created a gravity distortion in front of him.
His speed suddenly became sluggish as his sword almost reached Hyuna's face.
Then his figure was pushed back like he hit something soft and it bounces him back.
"Damn… Little Jin, what kind of technique is this?" Il Kwan asked with astonishment in his eyes.
He thought that his little brother was just lucky against those four as they are weak. But who would have known that even his blade could not reach him?
"Have you awakened already?" Il Kwan asked with a deep frown.
The four who are practicing stop and look at Hyuna.
She could not help but show a slight smirk on her face.
"I don't know… We'll see…" she said confidently.
Everyone was quickly elated.
However, who would have known that at this time, the six of them would suddenly hear a growling sound from the nearby bushes?
