The RoFan Novel Fan Has Reincarnated Into A Martial Arts Novel-Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Heaven's Luck, It Must Be, Right?

At the moment when Yeon was immersed in her own world, outside, Hwang Bo Gyeong and Cheon Gang were wearing serious expressions.

"Frog, do you really think this makes sense?"

"This is my first time seeing something like this as well."

A faint golden aura swirled around Yeon, who was sitting cross-legged. If the energy waves were visible to the eyes, it meant something incredible was being achieved.

Hwang Bo Gyeong laughed as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

"To think, someone who didn’t even understand the basics, and now, after hearing just one word, you suddenly grasp it all. This is like a baby who hasn’t even learned to crawl suddenly getting up and sprinting."

Cheon Gang, who had long finished his own internal cultivation, agreed with him. In fact, calling it a sprint seemed insufficient. The understanding of martial arts at such a level was beyond belief.

‘Did Father do this when Yeon Sojeo was her age?’

Even if he was her father, he likely didn’t reach this level. Then...

‘That guy...?’

Suddenly lost in thought, Cheon Gang shook his head. Now was an important moment for Yeon Sojeo. It was not the time for such thoughts.

Just then, the energy surrounding Yeon began to stir. The two men carefully watched her. The golden aura, which had been drifting like heat haze, gathered above Yeon’s head. It hovered for a moment in mid-air before it was quickly absorbed into Yeon’s mind.

"Phew..."

Yeon, who had finished her internal cultivation, exhaled a long breath. Her sharp eyes emitted a brief flash of brilliance before the light gradually faded.

"Are you back to yourself?"

"Yes."

"Hmph, then quickly follow me! This is just the beginning."

Hwang Bo Gyeong’s tone was stern, completely different from the admiration he had earlier.

As Yeon stood up, Cheon Gang stepped forward and spoke.

"Yeon Sojeo, congratulations."

"For what?"

"You have achieved something remarkable."

"Really? I’m not sure about that."

It would probably take some time for Yeon to fully feel the change. Cheon Gang was about to offer her some advice, but Hwang Bo Gyeong called him to a halt.

"You stay here. This time, you can't go."

Realizing he had made a mistake, Cheon Gang stopped abruptly.

"Go ahead, Yeon Sojeo."

"Why don't you come with me?"

"It’s not allowed."

"Why?"

"Now you must receive the secret technique."

Hwang Bo Gyeong took Yeon to a large training hall. Yeon looked around curiously at the training equipment.

"You train here too?"

"Me? I haven’t needed this kind of thing for a long time."

"Then why did you make it?"

"Well..."

In truth, the equipment had been made for a disciple, but he hadn’t taken one until now. For some reason, he had kept maintaining it consistently.

‘Only today do I finally get to use this place.’

Hiding his feelings, he gruffly replied.

"None of your business."

"Okay."

Yeon, pouting slightly, glanced up at him, and he continued.

"Right now, within your body, there is an energy sleeping that you don’t even know about. The lightning energy you absorbed from Thundercloud Cliff."

"Yes."

"I’m going to help you draw it out. From now on, focus."

Hwang Bo Gyeong had Yeon sit on the ground and placed his hand on her back. As he slowly infused his internal energy, the dormant lightning energy responded, stirring within her.

‘She really stayed stable in this condition.’

The lightning energy was extreme, almost impossible to control for men, and even for women, it was difficult unless they were born with extraordinary yin energy like Jin Hwayoung.

After briefly inspecting Yeon’s condition, Hwang Bo Gyeong let out a low groan.

‘This surpasses even what her mother could handle easily. But this can't be the legendary "Heavenly Yin Body," can it?’

It felt as though the yin energy had overlapped. It was as if something stronger than the original yin had been added. Of course, this was completely illogical. Could she possibly have two souls?

Shaking off such thoughts, Hwang Bo Gyeong focused on guiding the lightning energy. From now on, Yeon had to do it herself.

"Feel the lightning energy, and gather it in your dantian. Think of creating lightning inside your body. From now on, you’ll be cultivating lightning, not internal energy."

This was much harder than the earlier cultivation. Hwang Bo Gyeong wasn’t expecting much. No one had even come close to this level before.

If Yeon showed any sign of potential, he would begin teaching her the full power of the thunder.

‘We can work together, discussing and making mistakes along the way. I will prove that my dream was not wrong.’

At that moment, a streak of blue light flowed down Yeon’s shoulder.

Crackle!

"What?"

"I think I did it, Grandpa."

"What did you say?"

Yeon tilted her head, and then closed her eyes again. The noticeably stronger current of energy flowed through her body.

Crackle!

The wild energy caused Hwang Bo Gyeong to urgently try to stop her.

"Stop, stop!"

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No, no. Just, from now on, don’t release the lightning energy like that. It could be dangerous..."

"Yes!"

‘Did she really grasp it all at once? This?’

"Grandpa, when do I learn the secret technique?"

Yeon asked innocently, and Hwang Bo Gyeong, without realizing it, broke into a cold sweat.

‘Is this really the secret technique...?'

Quickly managing his expression, he forced a laugh.

"Hahaha! Not bad, not bad. As you continue your training, you’ll be able to infuse the lightning into your martial arts. Until then, you must keep training hard."

"Really?"

Yeon nodded, looking pleased, and threw a punch. After repeating it a few times, a blue lightning energy quickly gathered in her fist.

"Kuh!"

"Grandpa! Is this how I do it?"

Her hand became damp. Hwang Bo Gyeong secretly wiped his palm on his clothes.

‘Could this be happening? Did my theory work out so perfectly?’

"So, what about the secret technique?"

Under Yeon’s eager gaze, Hwang Bo Gyeong swallowed. At this rate, they would make quick progress. He fumbled with a book hidden in his robes.

‘Do I have to take it out now?’

Seeing his hesitation, Yeon’s eyes gleamed.

"You have something, right? I’m right, aren’t I?"

"Hmm, you're ridiculously sharp, aren’t you? But this can't be. This is my life's greatest masterpiece."

"Now, that’s enough for today..."

"Wow! It's the secret technique of Grandpa Gyeong! You’re the strongest in the Hwang Bo Family, right? Cheon Gang said it’s even on par with the greatest in the world. I’m really looking forward to this. Even without looking, it’ll be amazing, right? Amazing!"

Yeon jumped up, making a fuss, with a beaming smile on her face, almost as if she were wearing a mask.

‘I’ll laugh now. But just wait, if it turns out to be nothing...’

It seemed like Hwang Bo Gyeong could almost hear those thoughts in his ears.

‘Ugh...!’

He pulled out the book with a feeling akin to pulling a baby tooth, and his expression became solemn.

"Ahem, listen carefully. The name of this martial art is the Thunderclap Divine Art, a key to obtaining the power of thunder. I’ve dedicated my entire life to establishing it as the practical martial art of the Hwang Bo Family. Only the chosen can learn it, so do not become arrogant..."

As Yeon quietly listened to Hwang Bo Gyeong’s words, she snatched the book from his hands.

"Hey! I haven’t even finished speaking!"

"So, it’s the legendary secret technique? I knew something like this would exist. As expected, Grandpa Gyeong. The best!"

After giving a casual compliment, Yeon began flipping through the pages.

"You shouldn’t handle ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) it carelessly! What if it tears..."

Ignoring him, Yeon mumbled to herself.

"Let’s see. First technique, Thunderclap’s Divine Heaven? The name is impressive. So, this means...”

As Yeon prepared her stance, Hwang Bo Gyeong stared at her, eyes full of intensity.

‘Could she possibly get it on the first try?’

With a twist of her waist, she took the stance. Unlike before, her punch tore through the air.

Boom boom boom boom!

The tremendous force made Hwang Bo Gyeong’s eyes widen in shock. He had never seen the Thunderclap Divine Art in action before. It was something no man could cultivate.

‘At last, the Thunderclap Divine Art in my lifetime!’

Crack.

However, it only released a small amount of lightning energy. Hwang Bo Gyeong sighed deeply, unsure whether he was relieved or disappointed. He felt drained of energy.

"Ughhh...!"

"This isn’t working well. I guess it needs practice."

Yeon tucked the book back into her robes and called out to him.

"Grandpa."

"Ugh, huh...?"

"Can I call Cheon Gang now?"

Hwang Bo Gyeong nodded slowly and agreed, and Yeon cheerfully ran off. After a moment, he muttered in a dazed voice.

"To think such a genius would come from the Hwang Bo Family. It truly must be heaven’s luck..."

‘...Heaven’s luck, it must be, right?’

Hwang Bo Gyeong shook his head to clear his thoughts.

Yeon returned with Cheon Gang and began to tell Hwang Bo Gyeong about the situation with Baekha Escort Agency.

"Ha, that happened, did it?"

"Yes, we really need to go. I promised to help them."

Yeon emphasized, over and over, how desperate Baekha Escort Agency and Baek Ju-a were, stressing how little time they had. But Hwang Bo Gyeong’s mind was occupied with something else.

The unique disciple of the Thunderclap Divine Art was going out into the martial world! His heart, which had always moved like a tortoise, now raced as if it had been rejuvenated.

‘Thorough preparation is necessary. There must not be a disgrace for the one who has mastered the Thunderclap Divine Art!’

The Thunderclap Divine Art was invincible. That belief was unwavering, but Yeon still had much to learn.

‘Although she achieved something today, it’s not enough. She says she has less than a month? I will find a way...’

"Grandpa, can I ask you to continue teaching me until then?"

At Yeon’s words, Hwang Bo Gyeong’s small eyes began to burn with passion.

"Hehehe... Did you just say 'teach'?"

Noticing the strange atmosphere, Yeon glanced at Cheon Gang. However, he too had a look of confusion on his face. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"I will teach you. So thoroughly, you’ll be unable to lose to anyone. Relentlessly, enough to make your teeth chatter!"

Getting the answer she wanted, Yeon smiled brightly.

"That’s exactly what I wanted."

Afterward, Hwang Bo Gyeong’s hellish training began. Cheon Gang joined in as well.

‘Elder, can I train with you too?’

‘Of course. You’re the one who’s supposed to support the successor of the divine art, stop talking nonsense!’

The young master of the greatest martial family, unexpectedly assigned the role of assistant, began to sweat profusely. For someone who usually had no trouble with regular training, this was far from easy.

"Slow! Too slow! After sealing your internal energy, you’re this slow? How did you train normally?"

Hwang Bo Gyeong trained them in a method close to real combat. He took turns sparring with them, and then, Yeon and Cheon Gang faced each other.

"Yeon, you! Are you really holding back? You’re supposed to push that frog to his limits and try to kill him!"

The title ‘girl’ was long gone, and now it was just Yeon. Cheon Gang, however, was still called the frog.

"Frog, you’re the same! Stop thinking Yeon is a girl. A pity attack based on physical differences? If you keep thinking like that, you’ll be prey for the martial world!"

Hwang Bo Gyeong taught them everything: basic martial arts, strategies for battle, and even psychological warfare. He even taught them the most underhanded and deceitful techniques, which was a refreshing experience for Cheon Gang.

‘On the other hand, Yeon Sojeo seems very familiar with this.’

Yeon fought without hesitation, often attacking in unexpected ways. There were many times when Cheon Gang almost got caught off guard.

‘Since my internal energy is sealed, I should have the advantage physically...’

Just as he thought this, Yeon’s attacks came crashing down. Cheon Gang hurried to defend, but her punch landed squarely on his arm.

Crack!

The bones rattled as excruciating pain shot through his body.

"Ugh!"

"Are you okay, Cheon Gang?"

Yeon asked with a playful smile, as if she had read his earlier thoughts.

‘I was too careless again. To think I would talk about physical ability, how dare I challenge Yeon Sojeo like that.’

Biting his lips bitterly, Cheon Gang raised his fighting spirit again.

"Then, I’ll go again!"

"Anytime!"

The two exchanged powerful blows, clashing fiercely, pushing and pulling, sometimes coming dangerously close to each other.

In the exchange of strikes and defenses, the day passed. With each passing day, their skills grew, and quietly, their feelings for each other also began to grow. The weight of those feelings made the moon, hanging in the sky, slowly tilt.
