Kim prepared a bowl filled with soup and passed it to the middle-aged man. When he was moving his hand closer, he found his hand shaking. It was trembling.
He quickly put the bowl on the ground and apologized.
"I'm sorry, senior. I am afraid the bowl will fall from my hand."
"It's okay. Thanks for the meal!"
The middle-aged man didn't care. He picked up the bowl and held the spoon with his hand.
He scooped some soup, filled with vegetables and meat. He put it in his mouth and the sweet aroma took him by surprise.
As he took another spoon, he found his eyes getting wet. He didn't cry but Kim could see that the man was on the verge of crying.
He continued to eat until he quickly finished it. Kim hadn't even properly started but he still served the second serving to the man.
And, he also quickly started to finish his own bowl.
After half an hour, the entire container was emptied by two people. Kim was surprised by this middle-aged man's consumption and also by his own.
After all, he almost ate one-third of the entire soup. It was more than fifteen bowls.
After finishing his meal, the middle-aged man suddenly fell into deep thought.
Kim didn't disturb him and waited for him to speak.
After a long silence, the middle-aged man looked at him and asked.
"Boy, if I can make you stronger, will you keep feeding me?"
Kim was surprised by his question. But the next moment, he got excited.
Although he didn't know how strong this man was, he knew that this man should be at the pinnacle of this world.
So, getting instruction from such a person wouldn't be bad at all. But, he knew most of the power of this world. There was no need for an instructor at all.
So, he hesitated for a moment.
"Actually, I have been hungry for five years and I haven't talked to anyone for ten years. Fifteen years ago, I decided to start a new kind of training."
"This training is rather unique and most people in this world don't even know that this kind of training exists. Actually, the result of my spiritual pressure is due to my training."
"So, believe me. I can make you one of the strongest people in the world. My only condition is that you make food for me."
Hearing his words, Kim thought for a moment and asked.
"Senior, even if humans are afraid of you, with your strength, it wouldn't be hard to hunt down animals and cook them, right? So, why do you need someone to cook for you?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKim didn't understand it at all. Why would this man stay hungry for five years when he was so strong?
The middle-aged man smiled and asked.
"When you look at me, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Kim was stunned by this question. Because the answer was already in his mind.
Dangerous and Strong!
There were no other words to describe him.
"In your eyes, I am strong but do you know why I am strong? Or, why did I cultivate this kind of power?" The middle-aged man asked.
Kim shook his head.
"Actually, despite being a martial artist, I have never taken a life in my entire life. I never kill people. But, in the Murim World, many people court death constantly."
"So, fifteen years ago, I found a way to make people fear me instead of challenging me. I trained for ten years. I mastered this kind of power but when I came out, I realized that I had gone overboard."
"When I came out of the cave to meet my family, everyone was scared of me. They couldn't even walk near me and fell conscious right in front of me."
"I realized that the power I cultivated had gotten so strong that I couldn't even talk to anyone."
"I didn't have any friends so I walked away, leaving my family. I strolled around the world trying to find someone to talk to and find food to eat."
"But, no matter where I go, people either pass out or run away. I couldn't kill animals and even if I wanted to, they ran away before I could reach them."
"This power was more like a curse to me but since I had trained it, there was nothing I could say about it. That's why I want you to cook for me."
"As long as I can eat, I can train you. I will help you unlock the full potential of the Three Powers of Humans."
"Three Powers of Humans? What's that?" Kim narrowed his eyes and asked.
He was the creator of this game but he had never heard of this term. It was quite shocking to him.
"Three Powers of Humans are Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Power, and Spiritual Pressure. Once you understand the peak of these powers, you will be able to unlock massive potential."
"You have faced that man before, right? Even he had only cultivated one of the three powers. If you practice all three, then you will easily defeat him."
Hearing his words, Kim narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Are you talking about Armament and Observation Techniques?"
"Exactly! Except for these two, there is another power known as Spiritual Pressure. It is actually the power born out of the human soul."
"Human Body is divided into three parts. Energy, Mind, and Soul. Energy cultivates Armament, Mind cultivates Observation and Soul cultivates Pressure."
"Martial Artists have excluded three powers of humans from their training because they are more concerned about lifespan than strength."
"But at the top of the world, you don't care about lifespan. You only care about strength. If you want to reach the peak of the world, you must master all three powers."
"If martial arts are the essence of cultivation, the three powers are the body and soul. Even the internal energy is refined out of spiritual energy."
"If you practice Armament Technique to perfection, you don't even need to refine internal energy and rely on it during battle. But of course, it can become a major power source for you during the battles."
"So, what do you think? Do you want to worship me as your teacher?"
Hearing his words, Kim was slightly confused.
He created this world and tried not to include the last power but in the end, it still appeared in this world.
What the hell?
He was the one from Earth, not them.
How the hell did they learn about it?
But, Kim calmed down. He didn't care about this power system. He knew it was the result of this world changing from a game to a real world.
He slowly put his hands down and kneeled in front of the middle-aged man.
"Disciple greets his master! Thank you for taking me as your disciple!"
Actually, his master wasn't just for training. He was also a great deterrent for powerful forces that could try to destroy him.
Although his master said that he won't kill, he will stay fight for his disciple, right?
"Since you have decided to accept me as your master, then I will teach you everything I know. I will definitely make you one of the strongest people in this world."
"But, you have to understand one thing. Unless old people attack you, I will never help you fight someone else. Even if it is an army or a single person, you must face them yourself."
Kim was dumbfounded when he heard that. His happiness only lasted a few seconds before it disappeared. He wanted to cry but tears won't come out.
"Don't worry! When the time comes, you will be strong enough to face your enemies. Of course, if it is urgent trouble, I will help you solve it."
"Thank you, master! Then, I will tell Yeosho and others."
Kim sighed a breath of relief and stood up.
"And, can you ask them to cook something more for me?" His master asked without any shame on his face.
"Yes, master." Kim nodded his head and walked away. But just when he was walking away, he turned around and asked.
"Master, I still don't know your name."
"My name is Tengu." His master nodded his head and answered.
Kim thought for a moment but none of the names that he knew matched it. Kim turned around and walked away but while walking toward them, he spoke.
