Chapter 149: Fei Honglian
Baek Moo-jin headed toward Nanju. Of course, Jin So-hye was by his side. The two walked along the road, sharing many stories.
Along the way, Jin Sohye suggested more places to see than Baek Moo-jin had anticipated, leaving him flustered, though it was far more pleasant than returning alone.
Bai Wuzhen ate, walked, and conversed with Jin Sohye, observing the people and local sights. The handsome man and beautiful woman drew quite a bit of attention as they wandered, but Bai Wuzhen paid no heed to the surrounding stares.
Baek Moo-jin spoke of the masters of the Demon Cultivation Sect, and Jin So-hye listened intently to his stories, absorbing the unique characteristics of demonic arts as if attending a lesson.
Then, when Baek Moo-jin admitted very frankly that he had grown stronger than before, even Jin So-hye responded with an admiring look.
“Just how much stronger do you intend to become?”
Baek Moo-jin answered thus:
“A little bit each day.”
“Huh?”
“For me, reflecting on my martial arts practice is the practice itself. It might sound silly, but…”
Jin So-hye replied with a look of utter bewilderment.
“It’s not ridiculous at all. So you feel stronger the more you review your sparring matches? How is that even possible?”
From Baek Moo-jin’s perspective, it was perfectly logical.
From the moment he descended the mountain, he possessed power whose limits he himself couldn’t clearly define. If you asked whether the battles he’d fought since then were efficient compared to the power he wielded, the answer was absolutely not. Most were simply crushed under the weight of overwhelming force. Especially when reviewing situations where he faced multiple opponents, efficient countermeasures would sometimes occur to him belatedly.
