I Ended Up Becoming The Heavenly Demon’s True Best Friend, Even Though He’s Shy Around Others

Chapter 88

They decided to teach Ya Socheong the Heavenly Demon Divine Art that they had learned as junior lords.

The Heavenly Demon Divine Art that each of them had learned was all different.

The junior lords could enter the Heavenly Demon Cave and choose only a few of the numerous internal arts and martial arts there that they thought suited them.

Once they showed progress there, the Heavenly Demon Sect would not spare any support so that they could achieve great success.

But none of them had seen the end of it.

It was the same no matter what martial art they chose.

Until now, they had been satisfied with the fact that they were beings who could enter the Heavenly Demon Cave and choose martial arts.

They had never thought of passing on the martial arts they had not mastered to others.

Although it was strictly forbidden, there would have been no need to forbid it from the beginning.

Who would think of passing that on to others?

The person who had first said that was Dan Mok-seol.

Dan Mok-seol had just said in a quiet voice that she intended to pass on the martial art she had learned to Ya Socheong.

It was not a statement made to ask for the permission of others.

What was the importance of the permission of others?

The junior lords who had heard Dan Mok-seol's words seemed to think about it, and one by one, they agreed.

And today, they were here together.

"Ya Socheong. Do you think you can ever face the Sect Leader?"

Dan Mok-heukya asked carefully.

They called their father the Sect Leader instead of father.

Although the Sect Leader had also had them call him that, now, even if they could call him father, it seemed that they would not.

They had rarely felt affection for the Sect Leader, but now, even the traces of that were gone, and instead, only anger and contempt were full.

At Dan Mok-heukya's words, Dan Mok-hwawun and Dan Mok-seol, without answering, thought to themselves that he was saying something really stupid.

Do you have to ask that to know?

Is it a problem that you have to hear the answer from someone else to know?

Ya Socheong would surely be like that.

Wasn't that the reason why they were now trying to pass on a piece of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art to Ya Socheong?

To become stronger and attack the Sect Leader.

To break, to overthrow, to trample.

The current Ya Socheong was strong, but not enough.

They knew how strong and scary the Sect Leader was.

It wasn't just a matter of internal energy.

The Sect Leader was a person who had entered the Heavenly Demon Cave before them, and he would have seen the numerous martial arts in the Heavenly Demon Cave first.

Perhaps because he didn't want others to see the martial arts he had learned and become stronger, everyone had seen that some of the secret formulas engraved on the walls of the Heavenly Demon Cave had disappeared due to a rough force.

The remaining martial arts might have been shabby in his eyes.

But even that was of a high level and advanced compared to what Ya Socheong had learned.

While thinking such things, when they finally arrived at Unhwajang, they were welcomed by Ya Socheong.

Even though he had known that they would come, it seemed that Ya Socheong had been training until just before.

"Welcome. You have worked hard coming a long way."

Ya Socheong, after skillfully entertaining the guests, looked at Baek Yuhwa and Pae Maling.

It was a look of trying to slyly pass on the guest entertainment to the two.

Dan Mok-hwawun, who had noticed that first, said.

"I did not come to take your time. I have something I want to say."

Ya Socheong, feeling as if his inner thoughts had been exposed, smiled with an embarrassed face.

After moving to the guest hall, they began to open up their hearts frankly.

When they talked about the martial arts they had brought from the Heavenly Demon Cave and said that they wanted to pass them on, Ya Socheong was dumbfounded.

Although he had learned many martial arts and thought that he was lucky, he had never imagined that he would have a chance to glimpse a piece of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

But the four people said that they would each teach him what they had learned.

Seeing Ya Socheong moved, Dan Mok-seol said urgently.

"We have not achieved great success. So there will be a limit to what we can teach you. And to achieve great success, you need a rare elixir. If we had achieved great success, the Heavenly Demon Sect would have supported us with those, but Faction Leader Ya must obtain them himself."

Ya Socheong nodded.

If he just put his mind to it, it would not be difficult.

It seemed that people thought that Ya Socheong had used up all the money he had collected, but that was just the tip of the iceberg.

The money he had collected while attacking the mountain bandit strongholds had earned interest on the battlefield, and even after that, the things Ya Socheong did were good for business.

As the people who helped him and the manpower he could use increased, there were more things he could do.

And that became money, and it piled up and filled his belly.

The best investment Ya Socheong had ever made was the investment in the junior brothers of the Nether Shadow Faction.

As a result of not sparing elixirs and secret manuals and equipping them with good weapons, they had performed more than what they had received, and it was more than enough to pay for it all.

Ya Socheong, since the junior lords had shown that intention, did not refuse and decided to put it into action immediately.

Although the junior lords had not thought that Ya Socheong would come out so actively and hurry, they soon matched his pace.

Ya Socheong did not think that he had to learn all of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

So he decided to have each of them demonstrate what they had learned and choose what was worth learning among them.

Somehow, the four junior lords had to have a match with Ya Socheong, but they already knew that they were no match for him.

So they stood in the training ground with an endlessly unconfident appearance, but Ya Socheong thought that the effect would be reduced if they did that.

If they unfolded their martial arts and had a match with such an appearance, even if the martial arts they had learned were secret techniques, Ya Socheong might not recognize their true value and might give up in advance.

When Ya Socheong said that, the junior lords were greatly hurt in their pride.

Although he was saying the right thing, they thought, how could a person speak in a way that made one's affection drop in every matter?

Without even thinking that Ya Socheong had deliberately scratched their temper.

If the opponent in a match was close and comfortable, the motivation would naturally drop.

Ya Socheong had had a match more than once or twice.

If you included the memories of having had a life-and-death struggle in Nether Shadow Valley when he was young without even knowing what it was, it was really a lot.

Ya Socheong stimulated the junior lords in various ways so that they could raise their motivation as much as possible and display their skills in the same situation.

But since that was not enough, Ya Socheong eventually took a special measure.

"You four, please attack me together. But you must only use the Heavenly Demon Divine Art that you have learned. If there is anyone who completely cuts my clothes and holds it in their hand, I will promise that I and the Nether Shadow Faction will risk our lives to protect their children."

If he had bet something like money or elixirs, they might have been lukewarm.

But since he said that he would protect their children, it seemed that they had to risk their lives.

Except for Dan Mok-hwawun, they were not married and had no children, but that proposal was definitely not something to be heard and dismissed lightly.

For them, who knew how great a danger it was to live as a child of the Sect Leader, it was an opportunity that they could absolutely not give up.

Ya Socheong, seeing their eyes change, felt good.

Just by the fact that they had decided not to spare their bodies for their children, he wanted to support them.

"It doesn't matter if it's a small piece. But it must be completely torn from the clothes and you must be able to hold it in your hand. Just cutting it is not enough."

"I understand, so let's just start."

Dan Mok-hwawun was the most in a hurry.

Ya Socheong smiled and raised his sword.

There was no one else in the training ground except for them.

As the fact that Ya Socheong and the junior lords were having a match was delivered, all the junior brothers of the Nether Shadow Faction wanted to see the match, but Ya Socheong stopped them.

It was partly because the Heavenly Demon Divine Art should not be shown to others carelessly, but it was also because he thought that the junior lords would not want that.

The junior lords, glad that there was no one in the training ground, slowly began to infuse their internal energy.

But Ya Socheong was faster.

The sword ki that had surrounded his entire sword body and had risen flew towards them, and it cut and tore the ground in front of them.

It was like a warning to respond on their own, as he would be doing this much.

The four junior lords were startled and were busy running away here and there.

And from then on, each of them began to unfold what they had been honing until now without hesitation.

Thinking that it was okay to show everything in this place, as they began to release it as if a seal had been broken, a powerful appearance was displayed, even if it was for a short moment.

Ya Socheong, while facing them, gradually became serious.

Although the martial arts that unfolded from them were incomplete and full of flaws, the martial arts themselves were coveted.

He thought that if he learned it properly and achieved great success, it would be a completely different appearance.

Ya Socheong, while facing each of them, tried to draw out their techniques.

As time went on, an interesting situation unfolded.

The four junior lords were attacking to cut Ya Socheong's clothes, but Ya Socheong was trying to raise their skills.

It was similar to holding each person's hand and making them take their first steps.

Dan Mok-cheongyeong used a fist technique, and Ya Socheong flew towards him and cornered him.

Although he had allowed the four junior lords to attack him all at once, at that moment, it was because he wanted to compete intensively with Dan Mok-cheongyeong.

That would also be helpful to Dan Mok-cheongyeong.

Dan Mok-cheongyeong, knowing that Ya Socheong was aiming for him, seemed to be surprised, but he soon came to his senses.

Since he had been training without rest as a junior lord until now, he also had the thought that he had to show something.

Ya Socheong knew that Dan Mok-cheongyeong had not yet broken out of his own mold.

Since he had come to pass on his martial arts to him, the feeling of wanting to repay his heart overflowed in Ya Socheong.

And once Ya Socheong made up his mind in that way, it was sometimes expressed in a very violent way.

Ya Socheong swung a large fist.

At that fist strike, a thick tree was uprooted, and it flew towards Dan Mok-cheongyeong.

It wasn't that the fist had hit the tree accurately, but it seemed that it had become so due to the internal energy that had been momentarily wrapped around the fist and the strong ki that had been created by it.

Dan Mok-cheongyeong, with his eyes wide, was busy running away.

Although he had been watching Ya Socheong carefully, he had not imagined that he would attack in such a way.
