Chapter 77 The Battle of Yunmeng
Immediately after the Banun Faction’s Infinite Assault.
Namgung-woo secluded himself in an inn, leaving the Zhuge Clan to fully immerse themselves in recovery, damage assessment, and cleanup operations.
It was a form of Secluded Training. He had recognized his shortcomings, realized his own softness. Now, it was time to confront and fill those deficiencies.
‘I was too complacent…’
He felt a bit wronged.
Namgung-woo had done his best in his own way. He had hidden his name and concealed his age. Though, the latter quickly reverted to his true age after meeting Peng Ha-ryeong.
He had also been quite careful with his martial arts.
Namgung-woo’s primary Body Protection Scripture:
Infinite Steps, Heavenly Wind Divine Footwork, and Thousand Li Home-Court Footwork.
The surprising commonality among these three was their lack of strong distinguishing features. Perhaps only the Infinite Steps, with its emphasis on the True Stomp, could be considered a somewhat aggressive and charging combat step.
However, such characteristics could be found in other aggressive footwork techniques as well. While the underlying principles might differ vastly, on the surface, they appeared quite similar.
Strength lay in simplicity. Namgung-woo’s Body Protection Scripture followed this principle.
His Body Protection Scripture maximized the advantages a Body Protection Scripture should possess: excellent efficiency, high speed, and top-tier control.
It didn’t have special abilities like the Cloud-Treading Steps, which allowed movements as if walking on clouds, or Wiadokbo, which created a repulsion field with Internal Force to disrupt an opponent’s flow. Instead, he didn’t have to worry about his martial arts revealing his identity.
