Chapter 177
##177fury. Sanggeomyeon (4)
Yuran admired the boy standing across from him on the non-stage..
‘It's awesome.’
Wi Ji-cheon was small in stature even compared to martial arts, or even to ordinary men of his age..
He was similar in height to me as a woman, and his limbs were thin as well..
Probably the weight is about the same.
……When I thought about that, I felt a little unfair..
“I'm pretty slim.”
“……yes?”
“you are too skinny.”
“sorry…….”
Wi Ji-cheon apologized to Yu-ran's pointed look without even knowing why..
Seeing Wi Ji-cheon struggling with a few words, Yu-ran said, “Foot.” I burst out laughing a little..
If someone says something you don't like, you're the type of person who first apologizes. Even though he was nice, he was too nice..
‘But such a nice guy…….’
The moment he raised his hand to the sword, Wi Ji-cheon's momentum suddenly changed..
The expression that had seemed frustratingly innocent calmed down, and the hesitation in his movements disappeared..
It feels like a well-forged master sword is aimed at you..
Gulp.
Yuran felt the fur on her entire body stand on end..
‘Are you nervous? I?’
Yuiran told a light joke to ease the tension..
“Since I am a senior, should I give up three seconds??”
“no. it's okay.”
“……It was a joke.”
You were so timid that you couldn't even make eye contact just a moment ago, but you gave such a firm answer when it came to things related to the sword..
Yuiran laughed again.
A sincere smile that many men wanted to see from her, but that she had never seen before..
‘It's also amazing.’
Strangely, I keep smiling in front of Wi Ji-cheon..
she asked with a faint smile.
“Shall we begin??”
“yes.”
It was Yuran who took the lead. She did not look down on Wi Ji-cheon because she was her junior. I lifted my sword carefully..
whirring!
Yu- ran, who closed the distance in an instant, stabbed Wi Ji-cheon in the shoulder with his sword. A flash-like stab pierced the space..
gone.
Wi Ji-cheon avoided the attack by stepping on the step and pulled out his sword spirit. The sword that was once the favorite sword of the best swordsman in the world has reappeared in the world..
Woah - the name of the sword rang out..
“!!”
Yuiran, surprised by the name of the sword, widened her eyes. However, there was no shaking in her sword sword that followed..
visor!
For the first time, sword and sword clashed, but the sound was not loud. At the moment of collision, both quickly raised their swords and drew a line of swords to follow in their heads..
Yu-ran retreated from Wei Ji-cheon's attack with movements as light as a feather. I straightened my slightly bent knees and kicked the floor hard. fault! With an explosive leap, the space between them was instantly eliminated..
In response, Wi Ji-cheon moved half a step diagonally. He followed Yuran's movements with his eyes, and his arms adjusted the sword's trajectory every moment..
Chae chae chaeng!
Sword and sword clashed and sparks flew..
Neither of them were the type to compete solely through force..
He excelled in softness and technique rather than pushing power, and improvisation and imagination rather than a set diet..
The world calls such warriors geniuses..
The audience was instantly fascinated by the beautiful sword dance shown by the two geniuses..
“wow…….”
“It is said that the technique of sword painting is superior to that of sword dragon.…….”
“What on earth is Wijicheon that follows all that??”
“It's hard to follow with your eyes. They are both ridiculous monsters.”
If you didn't know it, it was like a joint sword dance between two people who had coordinated in advance and then performed it..
A sword dance that can leave fatal wounds on the opponent's body if there is even a single error..
The two people who had been exchanging tens of sums stopped and widened the distance as if they had made a promise..
“…….”
“…….”
After a moment of silence, Yuran smiled and said:.
“My body has fully relaxed?”
While numerous students were looking at her with astonished expressions, Wi Ji-cheon responded with a more lively expression than ever..
“yes!”
The two were convinced by their brief battle a moment ago..
It's been a while since I met a swordsman of my age who I can give my all to..
That fact made both people smile equally..
Yuiran asked while assuming the basic technique of Biryu Sword Technique, a German martial arts technique..
“Do you know what my nickname is??”
“I heard it was a sword flower..”
Yuran nodded at Wijicheon’s answer..
But a bitter smile appeared on her lips..
“I don't like that nickname. Because…….”
“There's a flower that has nothing to do with my senior's sword.?”
“……how?”
When Yu-ran asked how he knew, Wi Ji-cheon smiled and said,.
“Because it is not as beautiful as your black flower. It is a fast, fierce and harsh sword. It feels like I'm dealing with a strong torrent..”
“you…….”
Yu- ran looked surprised at Wi Ji-cheon's words, as if he had figured out his sword in that short period of time, but then burst into laughter..
“that's right. I don't mind if they call me Sword Painting because my sword is beautiful. But since it's a nickname given purely for looks, I don't like being called that..”
“…….”
Wei Ji-cheon didn't know what to say and stayed quiet..
Yuiran didn't mean to complain like this either..
Normally, I wouldn't have told anyone this..
But I wanted to let Wi Ji-cheon know what kind of person I was..
she said with a smile.
“But it's okay. Because they will take away what you want before you graduate..”
“……yes?”
“It's a special name..”
Wi Ji-cheon asked back with a puzzled expression..
Stealing my star name??
Yuran said with shining eyes..
“Geomryong (劍龍). In the Cheongryong Academy, the nickname given to Jisu Ji, who is the best with a sword, is Geomryong. Didn't you know??”
“ah… … . I didn't know.”
It was the first time I had heard of Wijicheon..
However, I knew well who had the nickname ‘Sword Dragon’..
Geomryong (劍龍) Dok Go-jun.
In name and reality, Cheongryong Academy is the strongest review index and the best reviewer..
Yu-ran was now saying that he would take away the name of the Sword Dragon from Dok Go-jun..
Wi Ji-cheon said, recalling Dok Go-jun's sword..
“Senior Dok Go-jun is strong..”
Dok Go-Jun's sword, which I encountered during the entrance exam, was hard enough to never break and had overwhelming strength..
I heard that he was strong then, but has become stronger now under the guidance of teacher Baek Soo-ryong..
Of course, Yuran also knew that fact..
“know. Because I have tried it many times over the past three years. My odds of winning are only about 30%. I can't take away the sword dragon with my current skills..”
“……Even 30 percent is amazing..”
Wi Ji-cheon said that sincerely..
Everyone knows that Wi Ji-cheon showed skills that were on par with Dok Go-jun during the entrance exam, but if he had fought until the end, he would have definitely lost..
With my skills at the time, if I had fought ten times, I would have lost all ten times..
‘If I fight now, will I be able to win??’
Wi Ji-cheon was not confident..
He said that he trained as hard as he could and became stronger, but Dok Gojun must have become just as strong..
Yu-ran, seeing Wei Ji-cheon's serious expression, smiled..
“It's another long story. Everyone will be bored.”
Yuran raised his sword and aimed it at Wijicheon’s solar plexus..
The first attack aimed at the shoulder was meant as a warning, but this time was different..
Tsutsutsu……!
A fierce energy rose from her whole body..
“I will defeat you and challenge Dok Go-jun again. This time, I will steal the Sword Dragon's star title..”
If I beat you, I feel like I can somehow reach Dok Go-Jun..
Yuiran swallowed back his words..
To her, Wi Ji-cheon was someone who gave her all kinds of inspiration about the sword just by standing face to face with her..
So I have no choice but to laugh.
“Be prepared.”
Yuran smiled brightly like a flower in full bloom..
And at that moment, her new model was launched at a speed incomparable to before..
Kyaang-!!
Wi Ji-cheon blocked the heavy sword strike and took a step back..
“Pfft!”
My palm was almost torn off by this blow. The balance of my body was shaken by the force of the sword rising through my hands..
But this was just the beginning.
“Get your mind straight!”
Yu-ran pushed fiercely as if he would not give Wei Ji-cheon a chance to counterattack..
Kaagaga River!
The Biryu sword technique she learned was characterized by the fact that once an attack began, it continued uninterruptedly..
The opponent who was blocking the barrage of swords was suddenly on the defensive and either admitted defeat or sacrificed his head. it was one of two.
‘It's not just a fast sword technique..’
Each sword grass was flying in a trajectory that assumed the next attack. If you bounce it, it uses the force of the bounce to attack faster, more lethally, and blocks your escape route so you can't avoid it..
Wi Ji-cheon instinctively realized.
‘You can't win just by blocking.’
On the other hand, Yuiran felt a great sense of freedom while swinging the sword..
Was there anyone in your age group who could swing a sword so freely?.
Of course, there was Dok Go-jun, but Wi Ji-cheon was different from Dok Go-jun..
After tightly protecting the center of his body, Dok Go-jun looked for an opportunity to break Yu-ran's sword and struck out with one sword..
Because the Dokgogu Sword was a strong sword that could do that..
Because of this, Yuiran could not freely use Biryu Sword Technique. It also meant that the compatibility was not good..
“But you…….”
An exclamation escapes me without me even realizing it..
Wi Ji-cheon was responding to Yu-ran's sword strikes one by one and striking them away. Even if the reaction is a little slow, sword will eventually touch sword..
As he was the only heir to the Biryu sword technique, Yuran knew very well how difficult it was..
‘Even the reaction speed is getting faster..’
Yuran was shocked beyond admiration, and eventually admitted it..
‘After just one year, there will be no more opponents for you in the Blue Dragon Academy..’
but not yet.
Yuran's sword has become faster and rougher..
Even if the opponent is a genius whose talent cannot be measured, I never want to lose when it comes to swords..
‘I'm the one who becomes the sword dragon this year!’
But the girl didn't know.
After meeting a genius named Wi Ji-cheon, he realized that his sword skills were also improving..
“Ugh!”
It was difficult for Wi Ji-cheon to block the rain of Yu-ran's swords..
But at the same time, the boy was feeling a very unfamiliar emotion..
Wow.
Gritting his teeth, Wi Ji-cheon squeezed into Yu-ran's sword grass to force a gap that was not there..
Phuwak!
Blood burst from Wi Ji-cheon’s shoulder. Namgungsu, who was carefully watching the sparring, flinched. He tried to approach quickly but quickly stopped..
It was because of the boy’s intense eyes..
‘I never want to lose by the sword.’
Wi Ji-cheon was always told by Baekryongjang's seniors that they lacked the will to compete..
But it was an illusion.
Even if only one of the four had been inspected, we wouldn't have been able to say that..
Wei Ji-cheon opened his eyes and glared at Yu-ran..
“I will never lose!”
At that moment, a trace of light cut through the torrent of water..
Sigh.!
Yuran withdrew his sword and hurriedly stepped back. If I had been a little late, I would have been cut..
“Phew… … . Phew…….”
Wi Ji-cheon, who had barely managed to shake off Yu-ran, adjusted his rough breathing. The uniform was torn in several places and blood was seeping out. His face was also pale..
“…….”
It was an opportunity to push, but Yu-ran waited for Wi Ji-cheon to catch his breath..
It wasn't important to win right away..
Rather, what was important was how much more I could learn and move up through this sparring..
After a while, Wi Ji-cheon took a breath and opened his mouth..
“Senior. I will participate too.”
Yuiran, with an unusually stern expression, asked with a puzzled expression..
“Are you participating? what?”
Instead of answering, Wi Ji-cheon took the stance of martial arts sword..
Ugh-!
The sword marks reacted to the martial arts engraved over decades, and the sword name became stronger..
The absolute martial arts that dominated the times were revealed in the body of a boy..
“Heo Eok!”
“Inhale!”
A knife-like force spread out, dominating the space. The audience watching the sparring was horrified as if they had been cut by a sword..
But the person who was most surprised was Namgungsu..
Namgungsu's eyes, who had maintained a calm expression throughout the sparring, were wide open as if they were torn..
“What about that sword method?…….”
It was Namgungsu who learned swordsmanship from the Namgung family, known as the best swordsman in the world..
I was confident that my eyes for a sword were as good as anyone else's, but Wi Ji-cheon's sword was of a type I had never seen before..
It's a world-class sword technique that you don't know about.…….
Wi Ji-cheon said with a grin..
“Take away the star.”
