Chapter 158
Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors

I, Jin So-cheong, and Geuk Ho began making our way toward Henan at a rapid pace using the Destruction of the Soul Technique. With this technique, I could run for much longer and faster with significantly less energy and stamina compared to traditional methods. Originally, such a feat required immense internal power, but with the Destruction of the Soul Technique, it became easily achievable.
‘Awesome!’
It goes without saying that utilizing the Destruction of the Soul Technique allowed me to feel like I was flying. I felt as if I could run continuously for four days and five nights without breaking a sweat. The joy of traversing the world as if it were my backyard filled me. Sure, using the Body Lightening Technique would have been even easier, but the enhancement in mobility itself was exhilarating.
This meant I had to adjust our speed to match that of my companions. Having kept the existence of the Body Lightening Technique a secret from them until now, it felt a bit awkward to bring it up now. While using it wouldn’t be a problem, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was better to keep it under wraps. Just then, Geuk Ho, who had been resting against a tree stump and wiping his forehead, exclaimed,
“Ugh… gulp… what the heck? How does this little brat have such amazing internal power?”
His awkward demeanor turned back to his usual self as if it was just a joke. After more than six months of martial discussions and sparring, I had become quite friendly with Geuk Ho and Jin So-cheong. Hearing Geuk Ho banter made me chuckle as I replied,
“Thirty years of Konjow research, please!”
