The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 131



Only Noblemtl

Episode 131

I showed off my backstroke leisurely, as if I was giving a lecture in front of Lee Su-ho.

“This kid is real!”

Lee Su-ho was so angry that he tried to jump into the water.

Then Bruce Lee raised his hand to stop it.

“Mr. Tosaengwon. That kid is teasing me right now.”

Tosaengwon? What is that?

I think I’ve heard it somewhere.

But there probably isn’t a Toshi surname. Did I mishear the name ‘Do Seong-won’?

Bruce Lee shook his head at Suho Lee, then raised his hand toward me.

Then he turned his palms up and waved them as if to tell me to pounce.

Even though he was really imitating Bruce Lee, I cheered inside.

I was worried about what I should do if he played defensively and didn’t engage me.

I really thought I should grab him by the ankle, but he said he wanted to fight on his own.

Bruce Lee took off his right shoe and threw it onto the water.

I thought the shoes were ordinary black slip-ons, but when I looked at them floating on the water, I saw that they were black rubber shoes.

I felt more curious than puzzled by the unexpected type of shoe.

Did he wear similar black rubber shoes to imitate Bruce Lee’s shoes?

But the shape is only slightly similar.

The martial arts shoes Bruce Lee wore were black, block-shaped shoes with white soles.

Although the fake Bruce Lee’s shoes were black rubber shoes, the fake Bruce Lee showed off martial arts skills far greater than Bruce Lee.

It was more of a miracle than a feat.

Bruce Lee jumped up lightly and stood on his tiptoes on his shoes.

For a moment, I wondered what this was.

It’s floating on water! No, how could that be!

I was so shocked that I was speechless.

Not only me, but my colleagues on the Hallasan Mountain were also surprised.

“I’m floating on water! I’m standing! No! How could this happen!”

“That’s the guy who shot my arrow. Is he really standing on the water?”

“Is that guy Jesus? Does that make sense?”

Strictly speaking, Bruce Lee was not floating on water.

He was standing on black rubber shoes.

Was your body as light as a feather?

Or maybe it’s because you’re stepping on rubber shoes?

No matter how buoyant the rubber is, to float an adult male, you would literally need a volume the size of a rubber boat.

That too needs to be filled with air.

Then how come you don’t sink even though you’re standing on black rubber shoes?

Did they make the soles of those black rubber shoes out of a material with incredibly high surface tension, like salt shakers?

Oh! And come to think of it, there was a herbivore that could walk on water in the West Sea Dongjeong Jinkyung.

But it seemed like a theoretical drawing of a supreme realm that humans could not reach, like a fabled paradise.

In fact, it was included as an appendix at the very end of the book, and red lines were drawn here and there as if to warn.

Bruce Lee bent his waist slightly as if he was skating and pushed the rubber shoe on his right foot lightly.

Then it started to slide forward.

It seemed a bit different from the water-based method of Seohae Dongjeong Jin-gyeong, which involves taking light steps as if taking a walk.

Is Bruce Lee’s sleep levitation a different type of talisman from the West Sea Dongjeong Jinkyung?

No, maybe those black rubber shoes are a sleep buoyancy item.

It wasn’t particularly surprising that there were sleep-boosting items.

Don’t I have a trident and a trumpet?

However, the items seemed to depend on the user’s qualifications and level.

Although he was able to create waves and currents with his trident and trumpet, he felt as if he was not using his brain properly, just like a human being uses only part of his brain.

Still, living in a world submerged in water, I found that items were cheat keys.

You will gain the power to realize things that others cannot even imagine.

I gulped without realizing it.

Black rubber shoes also require some qualifications to be used.

Maybe only Bruce Lee can use it.

Still, I couldn’t help but keep looking at the black rubber shoes.

While I was momentarily distracted by my black rubber shoes, Bruce Lee was right in front of me.

I only slid forward a little bit, but the speed was incredible.

At that speed, there’s no way you’ll escape from the water.

Should I just confront it like this?

Considering the black rubber shoes and Bruce Lee’s incredible martial arts skills, even if I were a police officer and had a lot of experience fighting, I would start off by breaking one of my limbs as soon as I got in a fight.

Oh my god, what do I do?

Whatever you do, right now you have to get up from your lying position to do the backstroke first.

I gave the water a big kick to buy time to get up.

Because I used the West Sea Dongjeong Jinkyung’s Bodop Chosik, the water splashed quite heavily.

If a normal person were to get hit in the water I splashed, their skin would feel hot and sting, as if they had been slapped in the face.

But the water droplets did not splash on Bruce Lee’s skin.

Bruce Lee quickly swung his hand, as if he was blocking an arrow.

Then, the flying water and water droplets were all blown away by the wind created by the blade.

There wasn’t a single drop of water on Bruce Lee’s body.

Still, Bruce Lee shook his clothes with his hands as if they were covered in water droplets.

Bruce Lee, who had even shaken off his socks, looked down at me as if telling me to show off my tricks again.

His amazing martial arts skills exceeded my expectations, but my interest was elsewhere.

Bruce Lee, do you hate water?

Even on a sinking battleship, you kept going up because you didn’t want to touch the water.

Well then, there might be a way to win this.

If I had overwhelming power, I could easily win a fight or battle by using that power.

However, if I am weaker than my opponent, I may have to use factors other than force to have a chance of winning.

The most efficient of these elements is terrain.

Just as a long-range spear is advantageous, occupying a high position is generally advantageous in many ways.

If you are on high ground, it is easy to scout out your opponents, and the effects of your weapons are doubled as they are directed from above to below.

So something like a high ground battle was created to occupy even a little higher ground.

However, this does not mean that high-level notification is advantageous in all cases.

Because you might be surrounded and your supplies cut off.

However, it is clear that the terrain is generally favorable on high ground.

For me, the high ground was underwater.

Thanks to the West Sea sympathy, my actions underwater have become more agile and sharp than those outside the water.

I was confident that I wouldn’t lose in the water.

But Bruce Lee was not just any human being, no, he was not a human being.

He must have undergone a complete transformation, if not a complete transformation, then at least something that would have been close to being promoted.

No, I guess I’m not a water person because I hate water.

Anyway, it seemed clear that Bruce Lee did not prefer water.

To win, you have to make your opponent do something he or she hates.

I should grab Bruce Lee’s ankle and drag him into the water like a water ghost.

Then Bruce Lee lightly kicked me, as if he was trying to get revenge for the water droplets I had bounced off.

The first thing that hit my face was the wind and water droplets created by the kick.

The wind was so sharp that it stung my skin, and the water droplets passed by, leaving small scratches on my skin.

If I got hit by that kick wrong, it seemed like not only would I break a bone, I could die instantly.

I jumped into the water as fast as I could.

If I hadn’t leveled up the West Sea’s Dongjeong Jinkyung to be able to use it up to intermediate beginner level, my head would have flown far away like a home run ball.

Seriously, I dodged Bruce Lee’s kick by the width of a sesame leaf, as they say in billiards.

Even Bruce Lee opened his tightly shut mouth, as if he had not thought at all that his attack would fail.

“Oh! I dodged it.”

I jumped into the water and dove in like a madman.

I didn’t have the confidence that I could dodge Bruce Lee’s kicks the next time, so I dipped for a while and then looked up.

The bottom of black rubber shoes was visible on the surface.

He stood still on the surface of the water.

Considering that he clearly has the upper hand but doesn’t chase after it, it seems like Bruce Lee really hates water.

In that case, I guess I’ll have to try the water ghost operation.

I went up and took out the harpoon.

Then he aimed at the black rubber shoes.

The soles of the black rubber shoes did not appear to be made of ordinary rubber.

It looked like a tangled ball of thin black thread-like things.

It looks unusual, so I guess it’s an item.

If that’s the case, then Bruce Lee would have no choice but to fall into the water if he ruined his black rubber shoes.

I pulled the trigger of the harpoon.

The harpoon flew through the water.

It wasn’t as fast as a bullet or an arrow from Bomie, but it wasn’t fast enough for a person to dodge.

But it turned out that Bruce Lee was not human.

Somehow I knew, I dodged before my feet even touched the black rubber shoes.

And then the harpoon came back to me like a boomerang.

Bruce Lee caught the harpoon with his hand as it flew out of the water.

Then he threw the harpoon towards me in the water.

Surprisingly, the harpoon flew faster and more accurately than when shot with a harpoon gun.

It was a counterattack that was completely unexpected, but it was also a counterattack that hit me in the shoulder.

The work vest, a legacy of the Yanbian man, had an enormous amount of storage space, including hidden pockets, like a goblin’s pouch, but it was neither knife-proof nor bullet-proof.

Maybe that’s why, no matter how many things I filled my vest with, I still felt empty.

When I was a police officer, I always wore a uniform when I went out to the scene.

Among the people who were recruited when we received the appointment of Chief Secretary Park, there was a clothing expert and a materials engineering engineer.

I asked them to modify the vest.

I only asked for a sword, but thankfully they upgraded it to bulletproof as well.
