Chapter 518: Twilight (9)
As the three Singeom Masters scrutinized the Guardian’s Internal Energy Technique, “True Flame Celestial Body,” with sharp focus—
Jeong Yeon-shin braced himself for a massive impact.
Even if the strike had restraint behind it, it was a blow worthy of a tyrant.
He had to assume that the former abbot of Shaolin, Beomheo the Great, who once vanished with the dragon in tow, had now unleashed Baekbo Divine Fist in full form right before his eyes, and with a body entirely unscathed.
Given the nature of martial arts rooted in tyranny, it was possible that the strike exceeded even that assumption.
Dwoong—
A faint resonance echoed from Jeong Yeon-shin’s abdomen where Ma Yeon-jeok had touched him.
The tension that had seeped into the space in a soft blue hue was drawn into that sound and vanished—as if pulled inward. At a glance, it appeared to have been concentrated precisely at a single point.
Yet Jeong Yeon-shin’s expression was tinged with confusion. There was no real shock.
Ma Yeon-jeok had simply tapped the center of his rectus abdominis, almost like an internal test method, and then nodded to himself, praising Jeong Yeon-shin’s Guardian Technique.
“No need to examine any further. That internal energy barrier of yours could even overpower Northern Origin Chaos and Heavenly Scorch Armor.”
“...Both are martial arts I’ve never heard of.”
