Ak Su-rim’s voice was peculiar.It was drowsy yet carried a distinct sense of purpose.

    Even in a half-asleep state, her presence exuded the kind of experience that suggested she could fight at full strength at any moment. She was, after all, the second most formidable warrior across all seventeen generations of the Singeom Dan.

    A transcendent master who had achieved rejuvenation—one could not judge her abilities by her youthful appearance.

    ‘She noticed immediately. Just how vast is her qi perception?’

    Jeong Yeon-shin rolled the pebble he had received from Baek Seo-goon in his palm.

    It was said to be a Dharma Treasure, but even though he could faintly sense its mystical aura, it didn’t feel particularly special. Not at this moment.

    It was difficult to determine whether it belonged to the Eon Hwayeon or the Zhuge Clan.

    Tap.

    A spear that had been lying carelessly on the ground caught on Ak Su-rim’s foot.

    With the mere flick of her ankle, the spear’s shaft seemed to lift itself into her small hand, landing perfectly in her grasp.

    The surrounding undergrowth trembled as if startled by the movement.

    “We haven’t met before, but there are stacks of reports on you in the Bureau. You even showed up in Shaanxi, didn’t you? That second-in-command of Sim Mu-ryeon’s martial arts division—he inexplicably helped you out. I heard about that. That was helpful.”

    Ak Su-rim spoke.

    At the same time, she gripped her symbolic spear and expanded her qi curtain.
