Chapter 26 A master recognises true skill

Peng Ha-ryeong gathered her Internal Qi at the acupoints around her eyes, staring straight ahead.

Namgung-woo had granted Peng Ha-ryeong’s request. As proof, Namgung-woo stood before her, sword in hand, in a natural state.

‘His spiritual aura is completely different.’

Before drawing the sword and after.

Namgung-woo felt like an entirely separate person.

The mere Aura naturally flowing from him was enough to take her breath away. She truly realized that a Grandmaster’s spiritual aura, by its very presence, could restrict an opponent’s movements.

Just as the ultra-low frequencies of a tiger’s roar could make one’s knees buckle, a master’s Aura possessed the power to suppress an opponent’s spirit/soul.

‘He’s serious… He’s truly facing me with all his heart.’

In Namgung-woo’s utterly earnest demeanor, there was no hint of looking down on her for being a weaker opponent, nor of going easy on her because she was a beauty.

That made Peng Ha-ryeong feel ashamed.

‘Compared to him, I… This is disqualifying for a Martial Artist.’

Peng Ha-ryeong had asked Namgung-woo for a Sparring Match simply because she didn’t know how else to approach him.

It was like a desperate excuse, a last resort to find a way to get closer.

Honestly, Peng Ha-ryeong found it difficult to interact with Namgung-woo. Even though she seemed friendly, calling him “Benefactor,” it took immense courage for her.
