Chapter 188 Ilbo (1)
Always one step.
Mumyeong’s life began with a single step.
‘Maybe I should have run sometimes.’
Mumyeong puffed on his pipe, watching Wei Jin-cheon sweat profusely.
Veins pulsed prominently on Wei Jin-cheon’s forearms.
Unlike himself, who had grown old waiting to be freed from the Heavenly Martial Peak.
Wuming pursed one lip.
‘Am I old too?’
Wuming remained trapped, still consumed by the battle against the Immortal Demon.
Not only had he been outmaneuvered in the fight against the powerful opponent he had long dreamed of facing, but he hadn’t even been able to properly test his strength against them.
Was it truly because he had grown old?
Mumyeong shook his head slightly.
No matter how desperate the excuse, if he admitted that so readily, he felt he could no longer live as a warrior.
Then, absentmindedly, he looked at the back of his hand.
Fine wrinkles, impossible to hide even with profound inner strength, had settled thickly across his palm.
A hollow laugh escaped him.
‘It can’t be without effect.’
Just as he was smiling wryly at his own change, Wei Jinchuan brushed his hands and grumbled.
“How long must we train the basics?”
“Whatever you train, you must start from the beginning. You must take each step steadily, one step at a time.”
“So how do we catch someone like Palma, who’s been flying since birth?” ”
At that, Mumeong fidgeted with his fingers.
“What good is it for someone who can’t even stand properly to be afraid of those who fly?”
“Stand properly? I can walk just fine… Ow!”
