Chapter 14. My Name is Neng Ha Young!
Crack–
With the sound of the bones twisting about, Cho Ryu Hyang’s body expanded hugely. Cho Ryu Hyang felt like his skin was going to burst. He tried to concentrate on not getting unconscious amidst all this pain. That was because he felt that if he went unconscious here, he’d most certainly die.
‘Arrgh.’
This kind of a pain could only be felt in hell.
While Cho Ryu Hyang struggled with pain, Um Seung Do was in a trouble of his own.
‘Damn it.’
Um Seung Do was letting out a stream of swears at the moment.
He was pouring in his energy into the boy as much as he could, but the energy seemed like it was flowing out or something. His inner energy kept going into the boy without limit. The boy was consuming his energy like a monster.
‘Darn……’
Um Seung Do’s body started to run out of energy. His neck went stiff, and his sight started to blur.
‘This is bad.’
At the same time he realized this, the vein of energy that connected his power with the boy’s rapidly started to thin out. Um Seung Do grit his teeth. His heart ached.
If he stopped outputting energy now, the boy might die. Even Buddha would be unable to save the boy if he stopped here.
Um Seung Do had to make a choice.
But there was only one option available.
He couldn’t back down.
‘Damn it, let’s see this to the end.’
Um Seung Do slightly decreased the speed he gave away his energy, all the while swearing quite a bit in his head.
He caught his breath, and switched to a completely new treatment method on the boy. Then, the energy inside Cho Ryu Hyang went through a critical change.
But it seemed like Um Seung Do was in more stress than before.
Right now, not only was he using his inner power, but he was also using his Source energy, which was never to be used, especially if that person was a martial artist.
Kukwakwakwa—
Um Seung Do’s inner energy was being sapped away like a waterfall. Even his clothes were starting to feel heavy. His mouth started to go dry.
Right then.
Click–
His inner energy stopped flowing, as if something clogged it.
King Shura 14
Um Seung Do stopped his inner energy flow with a confused face.
He then took his hands off Cho Ryu Hyang’s back.
‘Huh?’
The moment he took off his hands, he fell backwards.
‘Did I succeed?’
He couldn’t even move his fingers.
But he still had to see the result of his work.
When he lifted his head, he could barely make out Cho Ryu Hyang, whose size have come back to its original size. He could also see that the boy’s body was expanding and contracting a little, as if the body itself was breathing.
Looking at that, Um Seung Do smiled.
He then collapsed.

“Are you alright?”
Um Seung Do stared at Jo Gi Chun with a dumb face.
He blinked a bit, and stood back up.
“How long have I been out?”
“About 10 days.”
Um Seung Do’s face went pale, he immediately started to look around himself.
He was in the carriage.
“Wh, where am I?”
Jo Gi Chun smiled.
He knew what the man was worried about.
“Where do you think we are?”
Um Seung Do spoke with a miserable face.
“We haven’t gone very far, have we?”
Jo Gi Chun shook his head.
“We will be at Port Wuling soon.”
“What?”
Um Seung Do asked a question after blinking a few times.
“We went past Castle Shaanxi?”
“Yes.”
After taking off at Castle Shanxi, they were nearing their destination, Castle Gansu. They went past two castles in only two days. It was an amazing speed. Um Seung Do spaced out for a moment, then recovered shortly after to message the driver.
[Who are you, at the driver’s seat?]
[Sir, we would sacrifice our lives for you.] (I have no clue if “진명(盡命)” is being used as a name or a vocabulary word.)
[I owe you quite a bit. You’ve worked hard.]
[This is nothing. This one just followed the orders you gave out.]
Um Seung Do nodded.
It was good that he planned everything out before he got unconscious.
Thankfully, it didn’t seem like anything bad happened.
[Thank you. I won’t forget this.]
[This one just followed orders.]
While Um Seung Do was feeling relief at the driver’s words, Cho Ryu Hyang spoke up to him.
“How’s your body?”
Um Seung Do’s face hardened.
Come to think of it, he didn’t check up on his body yet.
‘How much did I lose?’
Um Seung Do checked his inner power with a nervous face.
What he found surprised him.
‘My power increased?’
Just what was going on?
Why did his internal power increase, when he even used the Source energy?
After contemplating quite a bit on what happened, Um Seung Do nodded. His Source energy ran out quite a bit, but since he did manage to surpass his limits, his Dantian’s size expanded.
‘This feels quite strange.’
While Um Seung Do had a dumb expression on his face, the carriage’s speed started to decrease.
[Sir, there’s a problem up ahead.]
[What problem?]
[It’s….. I think you’ll have to see for yourself.]
Um Seung Do’s face wrinkled.
The carriage slowly came to a halt.
Jo Gi Chun and Cho Ryu Hyang tried to open the door when the carriage stopped, out of habit.
There was a new sight every time they went out, and then they would immediately take off to another destination. But it seemed this wasn’t the case this time.
“Please, wait here for a moment.”
Um Seung Do stopped the two from what they were doing, and opened the door himself.
Was there a major problem outside?
Cho Ryu Hyang’s thoughts were interrupted by the body of water that he could spot through the crack in the door.
A giant river.
He could see the yellow river, which ran across China.
Near the docks, which was located not far away, were a group of people.
“Sir!”
A few people near the boats ran to Um Seung Do.
He received a message from one of them at the same time.
