Tang Sam's Mistake, the Disaster Called by Arrogance!

-The Strange Study Learned Through No Hak's Body

A lack of confidence makes a person's heart timid,
makes them lose courage, and makes their movements sluggish.
But on the contrary, if confidence is excessive,
the monster called arrogance becomes an obstacle, blurring the eyes
and exerting the frightening power of making one lose their judgment.

To be honest, Tang Sam was too careless. Carelessness, which is summoned by arrogance, always calls its close friend, disaster, regardless of time or place! This formula was an immortal truth that had never been wrong.

It was a case where having flattened the nose of his cousin, Tang Mun-cheon of the Poisonous Flying Hands, who had always tormented him since he was young, like a pancake pressed on an iron plate, had rather become a disaster.

On that day, Tang Sam, who had given a refreshing blow to his cousin and nemesis, Tang Mun-cheon, felt as if he could fly. At that time, Tang Sam had gained confidence in his hidden weapon technique and was full of confidence that he would not lose to anyone he fought.

It was good that the confidence of that day had continued to this day, but it was the fact that he had run wild, trusting that confidence, that had ultimately called for disaster.

The problem was that he had forgotten to pay attention to his surroundings because he had been swept away by his emotions and had run wild as he pleased. Especially since the danger that came back when a hidden weapon failed was very great, it was right that he should have been much more cautious than with other martial arts.

When the Three-Ring Flying Whirl and the Seven Stars Linked Rings Flying Strike Whirl, one of his strongest techniques, which he had thrown with full confidence, had been nullified by the sword of the Azure Dragon Squad leader, the Thousand Hands Dragon, Maeng Yeon-ho, his whole body could not help but be exposed defenselessly under the opponent's sword.

The sword of Maeng Yeon-ho, who had seized the opportunity, was not so clumsy as to give Tang Sam a chance to evade, as befitting a promising star of the Mount Hua Sect. As the persistent and sharp sword ki, hidden in the countless falling plum blossom petals, fiercely swept past Tang Sam's body, Tang Sam's clothes were in a state where a rag would have looked better.

Seeing that he was still alive, it was certain that he had shown mercy in his hands, but it was not that he had completely let him off either.

"Keok!"

Tang Sam, who had been hit by Maeng Yeon-ho's sharp sword ki, could not suppress his boiling qi and blood, and he screamed and fell backwards. It seemed that he had been hit badly.

"Tang Sam!"

No Hak, who was the closest to Tang Sam in the Vermilion Bird Squad, shouted and ran towards Tang Sam.

"Where do you think you're going? A road you can't go anyway!"

Chaeng!

"Uk!"

But No Hak's steps, who was worried about his friend's well-being, were blocked by a member of the Azure Dragon Squad, and further progress was impossible.

The name of the Azure Dragon Squad member who was blocking his way was not important. The important fact was only that he was blocking his way! Sparks flew in the eyes of the hot-tempered beggar.

"Uwaaaaaaah! Three Talents Beating Staff Method!!!"

Pabababak!

With a roar, the green Dog Beating Staff held in No Hak's hand began to emit ruthless changes.

The ever-changing nature of the Dog Beating Staff, unfolded from the hands of No Hak, who had taken off the heavy Ink Rings that were like shackles, was second to none. The changes that were emitted from the tip of the limber and bending staff were extremely agile.

"Huk!"

The eyes of the Azure Dragon Squad's vice-leader, the Iron Sword Flying Dragon, Ha Se-in, widened in astonishment. No Hak's attack was showing a bizarre change that transcended common sense and was rushing towards the vital points of his whole body.

Although he had not been without experience in facing the Beggars' Sect's Dog Beating Staff Method until now, no one had ever shown such a strange and ruthless change as No Hak.

'Three Talents Beating Staff Method!'

No Hak had one hidden martial art that he had not told even his friends, the Vermilion Bird Squad, until now, and that was the hidden martial art called the Three Talents Beating Staff Method, which he had realized while being beaten to death by Bi Ryu-yeon.

Originally, there was a secret staff method that had been passed down secretly in the Beggars' Sect, like the undergarments of a common woman. Its name was the holy Dog Beating Staff Method!

This incomparably mysterious staff method, which had a legend attached to it that it had been created to most effectively beat and catch dogs, was being passed down secretly among the leaders of the Beggars' Sect, as secretly as an illicit relationship between adulterous lovers.

Unlike the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, of which one or two forms were passed down separately, the qualification to be taught this staff method was limited to the direct lineage of the sect leader. Even No Hak, who was one of the direct disciples of the sect leader, had only learned the first half and had not yet been taught the whole thing. At least, since No Hak had entered the Cheonmu Academy, he had been able to learn a little more, even if it was just the size of a booger.

Originally, in the Beggars' Sect, according to tradition, one also begged for martial arts. If one could not perform the act of begging properly, one could not learn martial arts. As the martial arts were diverse, the martial arts that a beggar accumulated also increased depending on how outstanding a Begging Divine Skill they could show.

Among them, there were also people who described this as becoming more and more miscellaneous. (In fact, it was not very wrong.)

Since the Beggars' Sect was what it was, even the elders had different martial arts, and they were complex and diverse, so their lineage was more complicated than a tangled thread.

What No Hak had unfolded now was, of course, not the Beggars' Sect's secret ultimate meaning, the Dog Beating Staff Method. Even if it was the same dog-beating club massage, the Dog Beating Staff Method had a more elegant and sophisticated taste.

No Hak had committed an atrocity that the founding master of the Beggars' Sect might have shed tears of blood and torn his hair out if he had known, that is, the atrocity of distorting and modifying the half-taught Dog Beating Staff Method as he pleased.

No Hak's own staff method, which he had completed after grinding his teeth and remodeling and improving the secret of secrets, the Dog Beating Staff Method, was the Three Talents Beating Staff Method.

The Three Talents Beating Staff Method, like the Three Dog Days Beating Fist Method, was divided into three parts, but the meaning was a little different.

Each of the three parts consisted of the Human Staff, the Earth Staff, and the Heaven Staff.

First, the third part, the Human Staff, was a martial art that beat a person like a dog to turn them into a dog, and the second part, the Earth Staff, beat a person like a dog as before, but beat them enough to bury them in the ground. And the final ultimate form and the essence of the Three Talents Beating Staff Method, the first part, the Heaven Staff, was a martial art that beat a person, and the degree of that beating was a very terrifying and wicked martial art that beat a person enough to make them ascend to heaven. The final Heaven Staff was for the purpose of beating a person to the point of turning them into dust and blowing them away.

It was proof that No Hak had been deeply influenced by Bi Ryu-yeon, as deep as the part that comes out when you boil a bone broth.

The Three Talents Beating Staff Method was a ruthless staff method in which the mysteriousness and profoundness that had been contained in the original Beggars' Sect's highest secret, the Dog Beating Staff Method, had become a lost child that could not be found anywhere, and only ignorance and blood-curdling desperation remained. A staff method that could not be blocked because it was too ignorant, that was the Three Talents Beating Staff Method.

"Huk!"

The Iron Sword Flying Dragon, Ha Se-in, was momentarily flustered when he was hit by No Hak's sudden offensive.

No Hak's staff method had many points that deviated from the common principles of martial arts, so it could not be easily dealt with. Moreover, when the Flowing Cloud Sword, Hyeonun, joined in from the side, he could no longer pay attention only to No Hak's staff. That was his most fatal mistake. A moment of carelessness had provided an excuse for No Hak's Three Talents Beating Staff Method to break through his defense. The Three Talents Beating Staff Method exploded on his body without mercy.

Pabababababak!

Peokpeokpeok!

Mercy and consideration were not in the consideration of either side from the beginning.

"Kuaaaaaaak!"

A scream like a pig being slaughtered erupted from Ha Se-in's mouth. The status of a Nine Dragons of Cheonmu could no longer be found anywhere on Ha Se-in. Who could think that he was a great disciple of the Kunlun Sect after hearing such a piercing scream?

Thus, the Iron Sword Flying Dragon, Ha Se-in, who had fallen out of favor with Bi Ryu-yeon and had become the cause of this duel, was beaten to a pulp under No Hak's Dog Beating Staff, being hit by the Three Talents Beating Staff Method.

At that, a satisfied smile finally appeared on the lips of Bi Ryu-yeon, who was watching from a distance.

He never left anything that was an eyesore as it was.

'Even a speck of resentment will be magnified like a snowball and returned a hundredfold!'

It was Bi Ryu-yeon, who had never forgotten the golden rule-like teachings of his sect even once.
