Chapter 60 Master's Task, Disciple's Tears, Yeosho's Arrival
"Master!" Kim walked inside the house and spoke. He looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the ground with his eyes closed and legs crossed.
"Today is the last day. How are you feeling?" Tengu slowly opened his eyes and asked with a gentle smile on his face.
"I still can't feel your strength. Master, just how powerful are you?" Although Kim didn't want to ask this, he still couldn't stop himself. After all, who wouldn't be curious about it?
Tengu didn't answer immediately but rather looked toward the ceiling.
"I don't understand why people kill each other just to show off their strength."
When Kim heard this question, his heart was shaken for a moment. But, he quickly calmed down. He knew his master was the most gentle person in the world.
He wouldn't even kill the animals to eat even if he was hungry.
Kim didn't reply and let his master continue.
"When I was born in this world, the first thing that I saw was an attack on my family. At that time, I was barely able to understand something. At that time, my parents got heavily injured and almost died."
"When I was young, I swore revenge. I wanted to kill them and take revenge for my parents. But, when I grow up, I realized that the man who injured my parents was also taking revenge."
"It turned out my father had taken that man's wife as a servant against her Will. I didn't understand why my father would do such a thing. But as I met more people, I understood one thing."
"Strength was the root of it all."
"Kim, from the very beginning, you had always asked me, why I took you as my disciple, right?"
Kim nodded his head and spoke.
"Master, no matter the reason, I will never forget your kindness. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
These words truly came from his heart. Kim was the kind of person who knew how to distinguish kindness and revenge. If someone helps him, he would return the favor.
If someone messes with him, he will kill them.
Hearing his words, Tengu smiled and slowly lowered his head.
"Right now, you aren't strong enough. But, I never actually thought of handing this task to you. Only when you decided to create an organization that could threaten the world, I decided to leave this task to you."
"Although you have a goal, it isn't exactly a goal, is it? The reason behind creating this organization is because you are afraid that one day you might have to face the entire world."
"And, in that situation, you need someone's help. Originally, you just wanted to include females in this organization but you realized that it wouldn't be enough."
"But, let me tell you something. You haven't told me your martial path but I know it has nothing to do with competing with the kingdoms. In that regard, you actually don't have a goal."
"Earning money, gathering allies, fighting against kingdoms is just the journey. So, you actually don't have any goal here. That's why I decided to give you this task."
Hearing his words, Kim's expression got serious as he lowered his head and bowed in front of him.
"Master, please give me a goal!"
Tengu slowly stood up and kept his smile as he spoke.
"My disciple, I have given you everything I learned. I have trained you to the peak of my capabilities. Although you still haven't reached the strength that you need to accomplish this goal, I believe one day you will surpass me."
"Originally, I said that I will help you against old people. But now, I have changed my mind. You no longer need my help in that regard."
"If you die, then it's your fate. But, if you leave then you can fulfill this task."
"Kim Woo, as your master, I, Tengu grant you the goal of creating order in this world. Create a world where the strong can't bully the weak. Create a world where people adjust themselves with laws."
"Create a world where the common people won't have to die in the hands of a martial artist like the people from this town."
"This is my only request. I hope you will accomplish this goal. Until then, you aren't allowed to return to this town. I will wait for you in this Pingyang Town, waiting for you to accomplish this task."
When Kim finally understood the task, he clenched his fists.
One Year - Five Years - Ten Years
He didn't know how long that will take or if he could even finish this task. Not meeting his master for that long truly made his heart tremble.
Thud!
He fell to his knees and smashed his head on the ground.
"Master, you are very kind. Because of your kindness, I survived that day."
At this moment, his voice turned hoarse and his eyes blurred. Tears fell on the ground as he continued.
"Master, I won't keep you hungry for long. Today won't be the last meal of your life either. Master, I will definitely complete this task."
Looking at Kim, Tengu's eyes blurred a bit. He couldn't help but remember the days when he trained Kim.
Whether it was a sunny day or a rainy day, he accompanied Kim in his training. He never let his disciple rest but also never overdid the training.
Kim never disappointed him. Whether it was on adjusting to his spiritual pressure or learning Three Powers, Kim was the strongest and smartest person he has ever seen.
The power that it took him five years was mastered by Kim in just one year. Even though it was him figuring out everything on his own, the time gap was still huge.
He believed that if Kim was given one more year, he would definitely reach his own level.
But, he also didn't want to isolate Kim. He wanted Kim to go out and understand this world. He wanted Kim to complete his own dream.
Although Kim didn't tell him, he knew that his disciple wanted to get more women and create a giant harem.
Whenever he remembered that he couldn't help but laugh. He might never have a person who would stay by his side. But, his disciple would have countless beauties surrounding him.
Tengu slowly crouched down and patted Kim's head.
"After gaining this power, I lost everything, my family, my friends, and my identity. But, after meeting you, I earned them back."
"You are my family and I am your master. That is my identity. I might have lost my friends but I got beautiful daughters-in-law who are desperately trying to talk to me."
"I am glad that I came here. I am glad that I met you. If I hadn't met you, maybe I would've been alone for the rest of my life. My disciple, go out in this world and spread your wings."
"Good and Bad are defined by the person. The journey is important but results are determined by your mindset. Never change your mindset. Don't forget your task. Let's have a last meal before you leave."
Hearing his words, Kim didn't stand up immediately. He turned his head and silently wiped his tears. When he stood up, there was a wound on his forehead.
He didn't care about it. But, he couldn't show his face to his master. He was feeling embarrassed.
He couldn't believe that he cried in front of his master. Although it was a sad parting, he still felt ashamed for crying.
"Hahaha! I never thought my disciple would be this shy. Go out. The last person has finally arrived and brought you a big support."
Tengu burst into laugher as he patted Kim.
Hearing his words, Kim's eyes widened. He immediately released his spiritual power and sensed the surroundings. After a few seconds, he understood what his master meant.
"Master, don't forget about the dinner!"
Saying so, Kim left the house instantly.
"Tsk! Tsk! This disciple still cares more about his lovers than his master. But, this girl definitely surprised me. I never thought she would be able to make the contract with that legendary beast."
"Hehe! It seems like my disciple is truly fated with extraordinary people. Eyes of Fate, huh! Yes, my disciple, you are definitely fated with the most extraordinary people in this world."
Tengu chuckled and finally sat. He closed his eyes and started the meditation as usual.
.....
On the outskirt of Pingyang Town,
"Little girl, leave this place right now. Don't step forward. I don't know who this person is but you will definitely die if you move ahead.
"Hey, didn't you hear me? Don't move forward. Wait, someone is coming toward you. His aura….. Damn it! Another monster is coming toward you."
Tojo was screaming in her head. When he came to the outskirt of this town, he felt an oppressive aura from the town.
It was so strong that Tojo was shivering in fear.
He, the legendary Nine Tails Fox was shivering in fear. Even the most powerful Sung Ming couldn't achieve this feat.
"Hehe! I knew it would surprise you. Don't worry, he is my husband's master. He will not hurt you."
Yeosho chuckled as she slowly walked toward the town. But, her eyes suddenly sparkled. She could feel another aura dashing toward her.
This speed was incredible. A burst out of joy appeared on her face. She also dashed forward.
"Damn it! What kind of horrible pressure is this?" Hearing her words, Tojo didn't know whether to trust her or not. He gritted his teeth and moved a bit back in her dantian.
At this moment, Yeosho and Kim finally reached in front of each other. As soon as they got closer, they embraced each other tightly.
"Kim/Yeosho, I missed you so much."
