“You’ve barely finished paying your respects and you’re already peeking at your master’s buttocks? It seems you need some etiquette lessons.”
“No, it was the wind! The wind blew, I couldn’t help it!”
“Ha. What a pathetic excuse. Lusting after your master’s buttocks and undergarments, and blaming the wind.”
It’s true!
“Well, I’ll let it slide this once.”
“Thank you, Master!”
It’s your fault for wearing such clothes.
If a gentle breeze can cause that, the problem lies with the clothes…!
But I couldn’t say that.
“Alright. Then, today I plan to teach you three martial arts techniques. Follow me closely.”
“Three!”
“The first technique I’ll teach you is the Great Flow Sword Technique.”
Great Flow Sword Technique?
“Great flow?”
“That’s right. I’ll recite the mnemonic.”
Serin immediately recited the mnemonic, but honestly, I didn’t understand it well, just that it was related to a great flow.
It was supposedly a powerful sword technique that increased speed and power by making large movements flow naturally… but this is really difficult.
“This is a more powerful sword technique than the Three Talents Sword Technique. No, they can’t even be compared. The Three Talents Sword Technique is considered low-level among sword techniques.”
“I’ll discard the Three Talents Sword Technique right away!”
“No need to discard it. Next, I’ll teach you the Azure Wing Heart Technique. And lastly, the Rhyming Flow Movement Technique.”
The Azure Wing Heart Technique was an internal energy cultivation technique that felt like spreading azure wings. Its principles were so profound that I couldn’t understand the mnemonic at all.
However, I could understand the Rhyming Flow Movement Technique. It was called that because it mimicked the flow of clouds. This, too, was said to be a decent movement technique.
“Khaha! I’m so happy, Master! To be able to learn such high-level techniques!”
“I’ll teach you while you’re staying here. As I said, I need to repay your kindness for saving my life.”
“I’ll study hard, Serin!”
“Good attitude. Then, I’ll demonstrate the Great Flow Sword Technique right away.”
“Yes!”
Serin immediately took her stance.
Whoosh!
She thrust her sword, displaying the Great Flow Sword Technique.
“Oh…!”
It was truly a ‘great flow’. Serin continuously executed large and powerful strikes, dominating the space. It gradually became a natural flow, its momentum increasing with each movement.
“Hoo.”
Serin exhaled, finishing the demonstration.
“How was it?”
“Amazing! Such power…! And it seemed to grow stronger and stronger!”
“Precisely. You have a keen eye. A flow grows larger as it flows. However, this is due to my profound internal energy.”
“Ah.”
So the power varies depending on the amount of internal energy.
Typical of martial arts.
“Now I’ll demonstrate the stances, so follow my movements.”
“Yes!”
Whoosh!
Serin thrust her sword, and I imitated her stance.
“Hmm. It’s clear you haven’t trained in swordsmanship much. But that’s alright. You’ve already accumulated a decent amount of internal energy, so it will be easier to train. You should be able to grasp it quickly. Now, next.”
“Yes!”
I focused as much as possible while imitating the stances Serin demonstrated.
“Your posture is wrong.”
And then, I found myself in a very awkward situation.
“Do it like this.”
My master, dressed in extremely flowy clothes, emitting a soft, sweet fragrance, began to touch me.
More precisely, she corrected my posture by directly touching my arms, legs, and waist. Every time Serin’s soft hand touched me, I felt a shiver run down my spine.
I was getting distracted, embarrassed by the constant touches from such a beautiful woman.
“Ha!”
But my desire for martial arts was real. I was learning a powerful, ascending technique that surpassed the crappy Three Talents Sword Technique, so how could I be half-hearted?
I focused as much as I could and accepted my master’s guidance.
“You can’t expect to master it on your first try. Let’s stop here for now.”
But the evaluation wasn’t good…
“No, Serin. Was my posture that bad…?”
“I don’t need to repeat myself.”
No.
“Looking closely, your sword has killing intent, but your fundamentals are severely lacking.”
A cold gaze pierced me.
“It’s because I haven’t trained in martial arts for long. Furthermore, it’s clear that I’ve gained enlightenment through actual combat rather than training. Isn’t that right?”
“Spot on. I tend to be like that.”
Come to think of it, that seemed true.
“Next is the Azure Wing Heart Technique. It’s on a different level from the Primordial Qi Cultivation that Geun-hyeop learned. Since you’ve already accumulated internal energy, it should be easy to begin. Now, try cultivating your internal energy while standing.”
“Standing?”
“Yes. The Azure Wing Heart Technique is primarily practiced while standing, and also while walking.”
“Ooh…! That’s amazing! Doesn’t that mean you can train even while marching!”
“Ha.”
Serin sighed at my impressed exclamation.
“Don’t even dream about it for now. Naturally accumulating internal energy while marching is the realm of masters.”
“Is that so.”
“Intense training is required to reach that level. Think of standing practice as the main method.”
“Understood, Master.”
I began cultivating my internal energy while standing.
“…”
But this is difficult.
No, it’s very difficult.
I usually sat cross-legged, which gave me some sense of it, but trying it standing felt completely different.
The effects must be different too.
Though unfamiliar, I tried my best to draw internal energy from my lower dantian and spread it throughout my meridians. I felt the internal energy slowly moving, sweeping through my entire body.
“Hmm… as expected, your lower dantian energy manipulation isn’t working properly.”
“Huh? I’m doing it right now.”
“You’re not utilizing your internal energy properly. How should I teach you this… Try using a little more internal energy.”
“Like this…?”
I tried to draw out more energy by imagining I was pulling it from my lower dantian. It worked to a certain extent, but beyond that, it wouldn’t budge.
“I understand your level of achievement now, Geun-hyeop.”
“Huh?”
“First, I’ll demonstrate, so try to feel it.”
“Feel it? How?”
“Like this.”
Whoosh.
Suddenly, Serin grabbed my wrist and placed my hand on her lower abdomen.
“Huh!”
“Feel it carefully.”
In that state, Serin began to circulate her internal energy… Wait a minute. Am I touching Serin’s lower abdomen right now?
To be precise, my hand was resting on her lower abdomen.
Is this right?
This was a chance given by my master for me to feel it firsthand, but instead of focusing on that, I could only think about touching a beautiful woman’s lower abdomen. I couldn’t concentrate at all and only became aroused.
So, I had to focus on something else to suppress that arousal.
If I moved my hand down just a little bit, something terrible would happen. Why is it terrible? Because that place was… a woman’s that place. If I removed this thin layer of fabric, I would touch her undergarments and bare skin-
“Pervert.”
“Ah.”
Serin opened her eyes and looked at me with a blank expression.
“My student is having inappropriate thoughts while his master is offering her body for teaching purposes.”
“No, that’s not it!”
“You’re truly a pervert.”
Her gaze grew colder…!
“It’s not like that!”
“Ha. The first friend I’ve acknowledged is a pervert. The saying that one should be selective in choosing friends is true.”
“Oh, Master! Please listen to me!”
I admit I had strange thoughts while touching Namgung Serin’s lower abdomen!
But that’s because I was flustered by suddenly being asked to touch her lower abdomen!
“Excuses are unnecessary.”
“That’s not it!”
“Well, since you’re the friend I chose, I’ll put up with your perversion. So could you please focus, pervert?”
“Pervert?!”
I was so frustrated I could scream!
“Now, I’ll guide you again, so take your stance. Since offering my body doesn’t seem to be effective, I’ll correct you directly.”
How is she going to correct me directly…!
“Come on. Stand up.”
“Yes!”
Her cold voice made me instinctively stand at attention. She really had an aura reminiscent of my aunt.
“Hoo!”
I stood there, slowly breathing and circulating my internal energy.
And then.
Squeeze.
Serin hugged me from behind…!
“Huh!”
What the?!
Is this a seduction?!
Squeeze, squeeze.
I felt breasts against my back…!
To be exact, those large mounds were pressed against my back, spreading out. It even felt like they were being rubbed against me.
And that wasn’t the end of it.
Namgung Serin’s slender hands stroked my lower abdomen as if licking it. In this situation, I could barely suppress my boiling lust, let alone concentrate.
“Ha? What are you doing? Your lower dantian energy circulation isn’t working at all. Rather, your energy is strangely moving towards the center of your lower body.”
“Master! Wait a minute!”
“What do you mean, wait a minute? Hmm? Ah, could it be, you’re having strange thoughts again?”
“It’s not like that!”
A cold whisper tickled my ear.
“Don’t lie, you pervert. You’re always having inappropriate thoughts. And towards your master, no less.”
“I’m not a pervert! Why do you keep saying that?!”
“It’s normal for friends to tease each other, pervert.”
“Argh!”
I’m really going to become a pervert at this rate!
“But this isn’t a joke. I’m doing this so I can directly feel your lower dantian energy circulation, so why aren’t you focusing? Focus on yourself, not on the physical contact with me.”
But after hearing those words, I had nothing to say.
Her breasts touching my back was because they were large, and her hands stroking my lower abdomen was because that’s where my lower dantian was.
Serin was simply doing this out of a desire to teach, but I was getting aroused on my own and becoming a pervert.
“I’ll do it!”
Forcibly,
I pushed away the rising perverted thoughts and focused on circulating my lower dantian energy. My efforts paid off. My consciousness slowly descended, and I naturally began to focus on manipulating my internal energy.
“Finally, your energy is moving… Good. That’s it. Draw it out like that. Imagine you’re drawing it from deeper within, no. You’re losing focus. The lower dantian isn’t a physical organ. Don’t try to move it physically, do it mentally. Good. You’re doing well. Good boy. Following my instructions well. I’ll praise you for not having strange thoughts.”
A soft whisper reached my ears.
This kind of martial arts training is truly unbearable.
Wait, is this even martial arts training? Gautama Siddhartha resisted the temptations of the three lustful maidens sent by Mara Papiyas under the Bodhi tree and mercilessly drove them away.
It’s said that through this, he attained transcendental power and, through the ascension of salvation and enlightenment, was reborn as an omnipotent and ultimate martial god.
Come to think of it, this is the essence of martial arts training.
“Alright. Let’s stop the Azure Wing Heart Technique training here.”
“Kaa…!”
“How do you feel?”
“This is definitely! More refreshing than cultivating internal energy with the Primordial Qi Cultivation Technique!”
Now that I think about it, I can feel it.
Honestly, even though I wasn’t completely focused, a great sense of refreshment washed over me.
“That’s it. The Primordial Qi Cultivation Technique alone wouldn’t be enough to properly manipulate the internal energy you possess now, Geun-hyeop. Quickly raise your proficiency in the Azure Wing Heart Technique.”
“Yes! Master!”
Now for the final movement technique training.
“Then let’s move on to the Rhyming Flow Movement Technique. This technique enhances speed and stamina through efficient internal energy consumption. This kind of movement technique is essential for martial artists. You can run longer and fight longer.”
That’s right.
Movement techniques are the pillars of martial arts.
Internal energy is useless if you can’t use it. Movement techniques enhance speed and stamina by consuming internal energy. In other words, it’s how to use internal energy correctly.
“Now, focus your internal energy. We’ll practice running while consuming internal energy appropriately. I’ll run alongside you, so start running.”
A beautiful trainer is right next to me, giving me one-on-one guidance. If I can’t take advantage of this, I’m a hopeless idiot.
“Here I go! Serin!”
“Let’s begin.”
I started running alongside Serin.
“Breathe naturally. Movement techniques aren’t about thinking. Your body has to do it instinctively.”
“Yes!”
I kept my body moving, keeping that in mind.
But.
“…”
This woman, Namgung Serin, runs really well.
Is this what a master of light-foot techniques looks like?
Maybe it’s because her legs are long. Look at those toned, white thighs. With legs like those, running around the Earth would be nothing.
“Where are you looking? Nothing will come of staring at my thighs.”
“Huh!”
“Or are you waiting for the wind to blow and reveal my undergarments again?”
“W-what are you talking about, undergarments…!”
Don’t say such stimulating things!
“Ha. You should be thinking about martial arts, yet you’re imagining my undergarments again? You truly are a pervert. You perverted martial artist.”
“I didn’t imagine anything like that!”
“Just how much do you want to see my undergarments? And towards your master? Get yourself together. I won’t show you my undergarments no matter what.”
“No!!!”
I really think I’m going to become a pervert!
