Chapter 202 Wrapping Up (1)
A week had passed since the defeat of Akeupyeong.
“…Has there ever been such a peaceful time?”
Gu Yangjeok was experiencing an unprecedented peace.
At first, as always, he intended to train while constantly monitoring the martial world’s movements.
He wanted to observe within himself the state of selflessness and the shift in his realm he had felt while battling Ak Eun-pyeong.
But now that the edge of his sword had dulled, he realized something.
‘Had he been pushing himself too hard all this time?’
Since returning to this life, except for when he was severely injured, Gu Yangjeok had never rested for more than a week.
Even when given time to rest, he threw himself into training like a madman.
He never allowed himself any leisure, for when he realized the formidable enemy Palma loomed over his destiny, he felt utterly powerless.
Of course, it was precisely because of that relentless effort that he had been able to defeat half of Palma.
But relentless running inevitably brought its own problems.
“…Haa.”
Gu Yangjeok sighed as he looked at the utterly chaotic east gate.
Everyone admired and respected him, but no one dared approach him lightly.
At least when Ik-hyeon was around, he could dilute this atmosphere, but he was now lying down at Maehwa Clinic to treat his wounds.
Moreover…
Gu Yangjeok thought of Yoo Jangmyeong, who was training in the Plum Village.
‘Even though my senior brother forgave me.’
