〈 Chapter 644 〉 644. The Clan House
644. Yeongcheon-ryu's Pinnacle
"Huuu. I won't show you twice, so watch closely."
Jin Woo-seong let out a long breath and slammed his sword into the ground, his eyes snapping wide open.
Dozens of lightning bolts shot up from the earth around Jin Woo-seong. And right after, the ground exploded.
To be precise, the dozens of lightning bolts detonated all at once. Trees shattered, and the earth was torn up.
I watched the scene with my eyes wide open. A rock flew toward me, but Jin Se-young behind me raised a barrier of wind to block the stones and dirt.
'...This guy's insane.'
I looked around in shock. The once-flat ground was now pockmarked with dozens of craters. The splintered trees were burning as a bonus.
"I told you to go easy...!"
Jin Se-young grumbled and gestured toward the trees. The flames on them flickered and died out. She'd created a momentary vacuum to extinguish them.
"This is the pinnacle technique passed down through generations of our Yeongcheon-ryu: Explosive Thunder Shock. Get what it is?"
I had a rough idea.
The key wasn't that he'd driven lightning into the ground—it was that the lightning had exploded.
"Lightning that explodes... So Explosive Thunder Shock makes lightning explode."
"Right. Good eye. Explosive Thunder Shock is a form of ki manipulation."
"If I learn Explosive Thunder Shock, can I use it?"
"No. At your current level, it's too much. I don't even expect you to pull it off when Se-young can't. I brought you here for training. I'll at least teach you the basics."
Jin Woo-seong moved. He leaped toward the nearby waterfall and planted himself firmly beneath it. Then he summoned his lightning. The bolt surged upward, defying the waterfall that plunged over ten meters from above.
"See that? That's your training."
"Training to push lightning up against the waterfall? Seems easy enough."
"It's not as simple as it looks."
"I'll give it a shot."
I approached Jin Woo-seong and stood before the waterfall. The cascading water was as cold as ice.
'Let's wrap this up quick and head back.'
I was confident in my lightning.
Crackle-crackle-crack!
Lightning erupted from my body. It shot straight up, fighting against the falling water. Easy. That's what I thought at first.
'Huh?!'
The lightning, which had been climbing well, stalled around the 3-meter mark. It couldn't withstand the downward rush and scattered, vanishing without a trace.
As I stared blankly at the waterfall, an admiring voice came from beside me.
"3 meters on your first try... Impressive. Se-young couldn't even hit 1 meter at first."
"Dad! Why drag me into this?!"
"Just stating facts."
I ignored their father-daughter banter and summoned lightning again.
The water carried it up to about 3 meters before it collapsed again.
"...This isn't your average waterfall."
"I don't know the details. But I do know our Yeongcheon-ryu ancestors built it for training."
"..."
A fire lit inside me.
I kept summoning lightning. I wouldn't stop until my mana ran dry or I succeeded in pushing it upstream.
"Looks like you're hooked on training. I'll head out then."
"Yeah. I'm busy, so I can't see you off."
"Cold bastard. Se-young, you're in for it now."
"I'll keep an eye on Yu-jin, so don't worry, Dad."
"I'm off."
Jin Woo-seong vanished.
I stood under the waterfall, relentlessly summoning lightning. It crumbled under the water's weight every time. I needed to make it lighter and sturdier than before. But that wasn't easy.
'...Should I use Genius Time?'
I could succeed easily with it.
'No. I don't need it for this. I can do it myself.'
Once, my lightning had reached 5 meters. I could do it without Genius Time.
An hour passed.
I climbed out of the water and sat on a rock to dry my clothes. No mana left, so I had to rest even if I wanted to keep going.
"Noona. You try it too."
"Me? Hmm. It's been a while, not sure if I can still do it."
Jin Se-young didn't refuse and walked toward the waterfall. She must've wanted to give it a go.
Her clothes soaked through instantly. Her jeogori and skirt clung to her body, accentuating her alluring curves.
Crackle.
Lightning burst from her body and climbed the waterfall. Its power was weaker than mine, but it moved lightly and fluidly. She succeeded on the first try, grinning as she stepped out.
"I did this a few years ago, so it was easy. You've got more talent than me, Yu-jin. A few more days of practice, and you'll nail it."
"If you say so, Noona. But you know you're looking super sexy right now?"
I pulled Jin Se-young into my arms.
"Kyaa!"
She pretended to resist but let herself be drawn in. With her skills, she could've broken free anytime.
"Noona, let's do it. What do you say?"
My rock-hard cock slipped between her thighs, pressing and teasing her pussy.
"Dad only left an hour ago..."
"It's been a whole hour. The director's probably already left the village. And it's just us around here."
I slowly peeled off her wet hanbok. Jin Se-young played along, melting into me. I untied her jeogori and lowered her skirt, revealing her toned, trained body.
Her C-cup breasts were perfectly shaped. I took her pale pink nipple into my mouth. It tasted cool from the water.
"Ahhhng! Don't suck so hard."
"You love it when I do."
"It's been so long, it feels weird... Ahng..."
I pulled down her panties. Her plump pussy lips felt soft under my fingers. After teasing her for a few minutes, I positioned my cock.
Squelch.
It slid easily into her pussy, molded perfectly to me. I thrust my hips. My cock plunged in and out.
"Noona's pussy is so tight and chewy."
"Ahng... Your cock's huge and hard too..."
Jin Se-young and I fucked until sunset. We went home, ate, and kept at it until dawn.
???
Three days into training and fucking in the village.
"Sorry, Yu-jin. A Dungeon Break nearby—I have to go now."
"No worries. Urgent stuff happens. Want me to help?"
"Focus on training. I can't steal your time for something like this."
Jin Se-young left the village to handle the Dungeon Break. She wouldn't be back until tomorrow afternoon at earliest.
I trained at the waterfall in the morning. After an hour, my mana was spent.
'I'd take a mana potion, rest, and fuck Jin Se-young...'
But she was gone.
No motivation to train.
I headed home, planning to nap and resume later.
Thwack! Thud!
On the way down, I heard chopping wood somewhere.
I glanced over and froze. The woman splitting logs was familiar—the one who'd guided us at the clan house.
Her long black hair was neatly braided, her hanbok pristine. Her skin was fair, lips red. Even now, she looked pure and lovely.
How could a sparrow pass the mill? I approached her.
"Need a hand?"
"Pardon?"
She turned to me. Up close, her beauty was even more striking. Beads of sweat dotted her face, giving her an innocent, pitiful air.
"Chopping wood's tough work. Let me help."
"No, it's fine. I do it all the time."
She set down her axe and waved me off.
"Truth is, I've always wanted to try it. You don't see wood-chopping much these days. Mind if I give it a go?"
"...You really want to?"
"Yeah. City boy like me—never done it before."
"Hmm... Don't tell anyone. If word gets out I put village work on a guest, Mom'll chew me out."
"My lips are sealed. Promise."
"Come here. I'll show you how."
She taught me the technique, and I swung the axe.
Thud! Thwack! Thud!
Each swing split the logs clean.
She gave me an odd look.
"I showed you the trick... but you're just brute-forcing it?"
"Haha. Strength's my thing. Born with stamina to spare."
It could've sounded like harassment, but she chuckled softly and probed further.
"I thought hunters' physical abilities weren't tied to that?"
"Had it even before becoming a hunter. No exaggeration—I'm confident I've got the best stamina in Korea... no, the world."
"You're funny. I'm Hana Jeong."
"Sung Yu-jin. 22, B-rank hunter."
Hana Jeong's eyes went wide.
"B-rank at 22? Wow, you're amazing."
"I've been on TV a few times—didn't you know?"
"Well... Sigh. After marrying into this place, I barely watch TV or use my phone. Too busy. It's gotten better lately, but still... Sorry, I don't know much about hunters."
"No biggie. You work at that big house in the village center? The 400-year-old clan house? Must be a lot on your plate."
"I'm the youngest daughter-in-law there. Got a son too, believe it or not. He's just 3."
Hana Jeong was a married woman with a kid. Even better.
'Blank Card! Swap it for a hypnosis sticker? I could fuck her safely with that.'
The urge hit, but I resisted. Too wasteful to use a Blank Card on this.
"A kid too... I thought you were mid-20s."
"Really? Music to my ears, even if it's flattery!"
She beamed. No woman hates being called youthful.
"Mind if I call you Noona?"
"Sure. But... I'm ten years older than you. Still wanna?"
"Too young for Ajumma. And drop the formal speech. Noona."
"Mm... Okay...?"
"Just us here. I'll be polite in front of others. Easier for you too, right?"
"Yeah. Sounds good. But seriously, don't tell a soul. Mom'll grill me if she finds out."
"My lips are heavy. You're good."
"I trust you."
We chatted about this and that.
Hana Jeong had pent-up stress; once she opened up, we clicked fast. Mostly venting about her mother-in-law, and I joined in.
"Ugh, seriously. As the youngest, she dumps all the crap on me. My sisters-in-law don't help... Thinking I'll live like this forever? Future looks bleak."
"Husband doesn't pitch in?"
"He's a B-rank hunter like you. Always out working—home once a month if lucky. I wanna divorce him a dozen times a day."
"Just do it then."
"...No. I won't raise my son without a dad."
She said it firmly.
"...We've talked too long. Want me to show you the trick again?"
"This way of chopping okay?"
"It's fine, but brute force tires you out fast. Even hunters shouldn't rely only on strength."
"Got it. Like this...?"
I swung uncertainly, holding back. The axe didn't split fully. Too much force, and she'd call it brute again.
"No. You suck at technique."
"...Haha. Never been good at finesse."
"It's okay. Practice makes perfect. I'll help. Relax your arms... like this..."
I jolted. Her hand gripped my forearm and hand.
"Noona'll teach you right."
Our eyes met. Hana Jeong smiled like a fox. Something hot flickered in her gaze.
I knew it. She was after me.
"...Yeah, Noona."
I welcomed her touch gladly.
