Chapter 228
Heavenly Realm
Pow!
Master Myung-ryong struck my back hard, causing my Qi to surge vigorously. Blood welled up in my mouth. I spat it out, got back on my feet, and prepared to launch the Six Harmonies Sword Technique with the Six Harmonies Opening Slash.
Boom!
My internal energy drained away rapidly. I clenched my lips shut, enduring the feeling of my brain shattering under the strain and the profound exhaustion. By now, my eyes were probably bloodshot. I was drowning in torturous thoughts and imaginations about why the heck I was doing this.
‘Endure, endure, endure!!’
I put every ounce of strength into completing the Opening Slash. It was a simple move, yet while doing it, I genuinely felt like I wanted to die. My arms, legs, heart, and ribs screamed in protest while I clung desperately to my sanity. I pleaded with my mind, convinced I would die if I continued this; for the love of whatever is holy, please stop! But in defiance of my thoughts came Master Myung-ryong’s cold words.
“Fifty-one.”
That was just one attempt completed. Despair swirled chaotically in my mind.
