Chapter 152: Five Mountains of Penances (2)
Violently shining eyes . It was a gaze to seduce men . Most men’s hearts would’ve skipped a beat .
‘There’s ramen in this world too?’
Yeon-woo thought of other things . If it existed, he kind of wanted to eat it . Ramen was the food that Yeon-woo wanted the most in Africa, where Korean food was rare .
[Ow . It hurts . Hey, Cain, that gran… . . ]
[Tsk!]
[… . . don’t be tricked by that lady . She’ll want to spend a steamy night with you and tie you down so you work for her . ]
Kahn spoke with a dirtied face climbing up the mountain . Glaring at Victoria on the way up .
Victoria smiled voluptuously .
[It wasn’t a lie . We had a steamy night . ]
[And I almost died . ]
Kahn shook his head from side to side . And he earnestly told Yeon-woo not to fall for her looks .
Yeon-woo smirked .
[Seems like you fell for it . ]
[Ahem! That’s not important . ]
Kahn coughed and looked at Victoria .
[Anyways, don’t bother this kid . He’s like a savior to me . ]
Victoria’s eyes widened . Her seductive gaze disappeared, and curiosity replaced it .
[Hm? Then is this oppa…?]
[Yeah . Right . The person I… . . ]
It was then .
The child who had quietly been looking down at the three, Kindred, lightly jumped down from the tree and flew towards Yeon-woo .
Yeon-woo subconsciously moved far back .
‘Why? I shouldn’t have gotten caught from anyone yet?’
It was because his Extrasensory Perception was opened that his body moved instinctively in defense .
At the same time, his sealed Magic Circuit activated . His 360 Cores spun around and released a bunch of magic power .
Magic power drew a circle around him and covered the mountain in a storm . His Extrasensory Perception dug deep into the territory .
As his magic power and Extrasensory Perception combined, it became an even more dangerous and concentrated power .
And within the territory of the 5th mountain .
Yeon-woo was able to see a clearer world than he had ever seen before .
Like he was seeing it from inside his mind, everything was clear . It was detailed enough to feel mana streaming with his skin . And he could read everything little thing happening inside it .
Kahn was shocked as Yeon-woo’s senses felt more heavier .
He wouldn’t have imagined that he wasn’t using magic power . And the heat that was mixed in his magic power was enough to boil the atmosphere .
Victoria used Blink again to move far away from them . LIke she was surprised by the magic power storm, or she expected something big to happen, she prepared herself with 5 layers of defense around them .
Kindred, who was right in front of Yeon-woo, seemed a little surprised .
And he smiled baring his teeth like the situation was amusing .
At first, he was only planning on testing him . But if he was this much, he wanted to check his skills a bit more .
The air split and a sharp wind blew between the 5 layers and tried to blow Yeon-woo away .
He could read the actions and thoughts behind the movements . He could also see where they were moving .
He could automatically predict what was going to happen .
Prediction .
Yeon-woo realized this was the best effect of the Extrasensory Perception .
It was reading his opponent and the environment to predict the next situation . In other words .
‘This means I can take a step ahead . ’
He heard that he needed to learn sixth sense to predict the next attack of the hard-to-read focal point countless times . It seemed like the Extrasensory Perception could calculate more specifically than that .
This was the numbering skill Yeon-woo learned here .
He already felt like this now . He could only imagine how he would feel when all his other five senses were opened .
‘There’s no murderous intent . He’s only trying to test me . Then…’
His prediction finished . The calculation to turn the tables also finished . From the quick judgement using his Combat Will, to the extravagant attack using his Magic Circuit . They were all specialties of Yeon-woo .
Yeon-woo
A red heat wave turned blue along Yeon-woo and hugged him in the shape of wings of fire .
At the same time, he swung his Carshina’s dagger around him .
Holy Fire fancily exploded .
Boom!
Kindred’s attack scattered . But he didn’t stop like the whole situation was amusing and brought down his right hand on Yeon-woo’s head .
Yeon-woo twisted his body to the side and stabbed Carshina’s Dagger .
With the proficiency of the Eight Extreme Fists over 50%, he was able to do more .
Crash!

Yeon-woo’s dagger crashed into Kindred’s hand and created an explosion .
Because it had been mixed with Holy Fire, Kahn had to step back even further from the sparks . Victoria added another layer of defense .
Crash!
Then, Kindred pushed it away with an uppercut, forcing Yeon-woo’s body to slide back .
Yeon-woo clenched his teeth . His right hand was already cut, blood dripping down . Carshina’s dagger was bent, almost broken .
That was how chaotic Kindred’s attack was . The entire time the ground vibrated, it was hard to control his body .
If it wasn’t for Extrasensory Perception and Combat Will, he would’ve collapsed a long time ago .
But this was the furthest he could go . If he went more, he would have to reveal everything . And he couldn’t guarantee victory even when he did that .
On the other hand, Kindred was smiling like this was all child’s play .
His appearance was cute, but Yeon-woo shivered . It looked like a devil licking his lips in anticipation .
His opponent was too strong .
[Even Hanryeong wouldn’t have been able to defeat him on his best days . Was Kindred always that strong?]
Shannon quietly murmured from within the shadows .
Then, Kindred opened his mouth .
[I attacked, but not only did you block, but also attack back . Oho . Impressive . ]
The test was over .
But Yeon-woo couldn’t relax . He felt like Kindred would eat him up if he showed even the slightest weakness .
And as expected .
Kindred didn’t pull back his aura and narrowed his eyes .
[But you . What’s your relationship with Sword God?]
It was a completely unexpected question .
Yeon-woo tried to remember whether Kindred and Sword God had any meeting points . But there wasn’t anything about that in the diary .
[What do you mean?]
[You can’t say no . The sword skills you showed . Even though it was a bit different, it was definitely the same as Sword God’s . ]
Yeon-woo realized what Kindred was saying . He was misunderstanding something .
[That’s not right . ]
[What… . . ]
[My seseung-nim is the Martial King . ]

This time, Kindred’s eyes widened . Kahn and Victoria also had shocked expressions . They seemed more shocked then when they saw his skills .
[Martial King? From the One-horned tribe?]
[Yes . ]
[Hm . Then that makes sense . Since Sword God was taught by the Martial King to . But the person who said wouldn’t take another disciple after ‘that guy’ took a new disciple… . . ]
Yeon-woo thought ‘that guy’ that Kindred spoke about was the 2nd disciple that the Martial King had talked about .
He seemed to know well about the Martial King . What was their relationship? Acquaintances? Enemies? He couldn’t read from Kindred’s attitude what kind of relationship they had .
Kindred was lost in thought for a moment before he released his position and walked back .
His aura was pulled back, but the leftover aftereffects were still floating around in the atmosphere . Normal people would’ve been trembling from fear .
[I didn’t expect much since you just realized your consciousness . But it seems like you have the basics down . I understand why the youngest complimented so much about you . ]
Kindred ran at Yeon-woo the moment Kahn said something . Just what had Kahn said about Yeon-woo?
[Are you planning on training in the Five Mountains of Penances as well?]
Kindred seemed to have a leader role in the 5th mountain .
Because he might learn something, Yeon-woo answered politely .
[Yes . That’s correct . ]
[Fine . You pass . ]
Kindred left those words and went away .
Fortunately, he received the permission to stay, but he thought it wouldn’t be that easy after experiencing Victoria and Kindred .
[He wouldn’t have accepted you if you were just a good for nothing . That guy just chases out people if they’re not to his taste .
Kahn said he would introduce Yeon-woo to a place where he could stay and moved along with him .
Before they left, Victoria told him to contact him if he ever changed his mind . Saying that they should really share a steamy night together . Of course, Yeon-woo didn’t reply .
[Are Sadhu all like that? It’s a lot different from what I know . ]
Kahn realized what Yeon-woo was trying to say and lightly chuckled .
[No . The image that you’re thinking of is probably right . People who are selfish, greedy, and don’t want to talk to outsiders . They don’t want to interfere in others’ businesses, they just focus on they’re training . Isn’t it obvious by looking at the other 2 people who didn’t appear?]
[Then what about Kindred and Victoria?]
[Those two are the same . They don’t usually stick their noses in others’ businesses . And they don’t like other people getting in theirs . But they’ve been here for so long that if they see someone who seems like a potential newbie, they take interest . ]
[I see . ]
[Yeah . But Kindred despises people who aren’t that trained to get near him . Like being around weak people makes him weak . So because of him, a lot of people were kicked out . ]

And so that’s why I’m playing the role of the youngest . Kahn lightly muttered to himself .
‘To be precise, he doesn’t want to be bothered by nobodies . ’
Yeon-woo thought about Kindred .
[But they’re not bad people so don’t worry . As long as you don’t bother them, you can stay close to them . And after some time, they offer advice and help a lot . Thanks to them, I was able to become this strong faster . ]
Yeon-woo felt like he knew why Kahn had gotten this strong so fast . Being with those kinds of people, there was no way he wouldn’t grow .
[How long has it been since you entered the Tower?]
[Mm . Not that long . About 2 months? And when I came up here, I heard you entered Red Dragon and you were like fish in water . ]
Quite some time had passed since Yeon-woo had entered the Tower . While he was focused on the war, it seemed like a new tutorial had opened .
[Hey . But the records you left were all unbelievable . The unrevealed person in the hall of fame . That’s all you, right?]
Yeon-woo wordlessly nodded his head . Kahn shook his head .
[Because of that, I couldn’t even think about breaking it . I just focused on climbing up . I thought about going to see you but… . . I thought I would just be a bother . And I thought we would meet someday anyway . ]
And like he thought, they had met like this .
[Have you been well?]
[So so . You?]
[I’ve been the same . Actually, after retiring then, I thought a lot . About how to become stronger . I wanted to find my path . ]
When Yeon-woo saved them in Section F, Kahn had been greatly shocked . He realized the world he knew was too small . So he wanted to break free from it .
And he climbed the Tower like there was no tomorrow, and pushed himself thinking of Yeon-woo in Section F to find himself here .
Kahn could affirm himself that if Yeon-woo was the person who shook his world, this place was the place that put it back again .
[What about Doyle?]
And when Yeon-woo asked the question he wanted to avoid, Kahn smiled bitterly .
Obviously, he would be curious . After all, they used to stick to each other like they were real brothers .
[He’s not here . ]
But Kahn didn’t reveal his frustrated mind . Although Yeon-woo could read his feelings with Extrasensory Perception, he tried to hide them as much as possible .
[It’s been a while since I split up from him . ]
