Devastating The Murim with My Little Sister

After helping him sense Ki we began trying to open his Dantian.

After two minutes he begins to sweat.

"Haah...haaah..." He slowly pants.

"Take deep breathes Conan, we are almost there."

"Y...yes Master... its not that painf... Ahhhh!!" He screams out in sudden pain.

"Hold it Conan, hold it..."

"Nggh...Nghh..."

He held on with will pushing through the pain and after another three minutes his Dantian was finally opened.

I withdraw panting a little.

He sits before me bent over sweating and panting profusely.

"How do you feel?"

He looks at his hands and then clenches them into a fist.

"I feel energized, I feel full of power." He replies as he turns back to me.

I chuckle a little.

"Yhhh, of course you'd feel that way, but right now there isn't much of a difference between you and any other normal human being."

"Huh? but why the do I feel stronger?" He asks.

"Well, your body has just undergone a change, a change for the better, kinda like it just evolved so your brain thinks you have actually become stronger but in reality your body has just gotten more suited for gaining strength."

"While activating your Dantian I had to also open up your meridians, that loose feeling you are getting like as if you are now more flexible and agile is as a result of that... do not worry though, before long you will eventually actually start getting stronger." I explain with a smile.

"I see, thank you Master!" He suddenly greets with a bow.

"Please rise, go sit somewhere and continue trying to sense Ki and if you can, draw it into your dantian."

He rises to his feet and gives one more bow before going over some distance to the right from the other children.

He sits and begins meditating.

"Next?"

The children stood there, a little scared of the pain.

No one was willing to step forth.

Well I was not about to rush them.

I heave a sigh and then Hwa steps forth.

"Pl...please go easy on me."

I chuckle a bit.

If someone else heard this they'd think I was about to do something to this little girl.

"I'll try." I reply.

She sits backing me and takes off her top, but not completely, she takes it off her head but her hand was still in it so her chest and belly were covered, only her back was bare.

"Breathe in, breathe out."

I began.

Her's takes a total of thirteen minutes, five minutes faster than Conan.

Like that, one by one they came and after about an hour plus we were done.

After opening their Dantians they all consolidate themselves by continue sensing Ki and trying to pull Ki into themselves.

After I was done with them all and having the last few people consolidate themselves for a while I had them all rest.

None of them were able to pull Ki into their Dantians by themselves.

While they rested I went out to get what they could eat but they were not gonna eat meat, I got them some fruits and came back after an hour.

Getting under the shade of the gave I could see them peacefully sleeping.

For some reason I began smiling seeing this cute little things sleeping.

Well now is not the time to be sleeping.

I woke them all up and had them all stand up.

"Can't we rest for a few more minutes Master?" Hoon asks as he yawns.

I giggle a bit.

I heave a sigh.

These children, I don't want to be harsh but I think I have to be hard since I have decided to have them as my disciples.

Ain't no way my disciples gonna be lazy asses.

"So you want to rest huh?"

"Yeesss" Hoon, Beom and Ae-Cha reply.

"I see, alright you three may return."

Excitedly they turn their backs and began going back.

As soon as they turn their back I strike them from behind, kicking all three of them to the ground.

I hit them hard enough for them to feel pain and send them to the ground but not hard enough to cause any injuries.

Though they got some bruises on their arms from the impact on the ground.

All the children got alarmed.

The mother bear kept her cubs away not interfering.

"What!!..." The children exclaimed as they tried to move towards I and the other three I attacked.

I turn towards them with an intense gaze, my aura choking them all.

"Anyone who takes a step will face severe punishment."

I retract my aura after seeing it was choking them too much.

After withdrawing it they all drop to their knees coughing and panting while holding their necks.

"Do you a think the Murim is a joke?

When your families were all slaughtered before your eyes did you think of resting?

When you ran for your lives climbing through a mountain with rough terrains how many times did you wish you could just take a rest?

But how many times were you able to?

You haven't even become a Third Rate Martial Artist and you are thinking of resting?

Didn't I give you an hour of rest? You think you enemies would be so kind to give you even a second of breathing space?

You are no longer just an average human you are now a Martial Artist, you have now stepped into a realm of blood, sweat, tears and death.

You are no longer just any child, you are now a disciple of I, the bringer of death and I will not let anyone of you die a futile death just because you were not strong enough.

Rest? Haa...You only rest when I permit you to rest! Am I clear!?"

There was no response as they all remain on their knees holding their necks.

This time with a deeper and louder voice I ask...

"I said, Am I Clear!?"

"Y...yes Master!"

"Good, now you all rise to your feet."

They all rise and stand before me with their hands behind them.

As they rise I could see them all holding back tears.

Well maybe I was a little scary just now.

Conan looked like he was more annoyed specifically cause I had attacked Ae-Cha.

I heave a heavy sigh.

I also don't want to be hard on this cute little children but though it might hurt I and them, this is really efficient.

I heave another heavy sigh.

I squat before them.

"Conan, Hwa, Byeol, Ae-Cha, Beom, Nari and Hoon.

You all must know of how much I care for you all..."
