Chapter 331
Chapter Title: Heavenly Realm
The man standing before me was undoubtedly the same Yong Jung-il I had seen before. He wasn't otherworldly in appearance, but he was a handsome middle-aged man with a well-honed physique. Most striking of all was the fact that scarcely any qi emanated from him. From that alone, I grasped a certain realm.
'Return Convergence!'
Qi that had reached its pinnacle converged into a single point for maximum efficiency. It was a state automatically adjusted to explosively unleash true qi from that focal point—the technique by which peak experts controlled their qi through intent.
I had ascended to the Return Convergence realm myself, but I wasn't yet fully accustomed to it. It demanded innate sensitivity, requiring meticulous control through intent. In contrast, the Yong Jung-il before me seemed to keep his qi perfectly contained within, not revealing even a trace.
My heart grew heavy.
It was because I could now vaguely perceive Yong Jung-il's true level of martial prowess, which I hadn't grasped before. Back then, my own realm hadn't been sufficient to gauge his strength, but now that I could, the situation felt all the more burdensome.
Yong Jung-il was strong!
Strong enough that even Jin So-cheong would need to draw his spear!
