Chapter 587
587fury. Now it's my turn
I'll bet my weight in gold.
The moment Geo Sang-woong uttered those words, the audience swallowed their saliva, imagining just how heavy that huge body made of muscles must be..
“Woe, if only there was that much gold…….”
“Wouldn't it be enough for at least three generations to play and eat for a lifetime??”
“……But does that student have that much money? Even a decent sect would not be able to obtain that much gold..”
“Can't you tell just by looking at it? It's just a bluff to get the start of the fight before it starts.!”
There were quite a few voices of doubt or ridicule among the whispering crowd..
That was because the conditions put forward by Geo Sang-woong were so unrealistic..
But at that moment, a large middle-aged man suddenly stood up from the VIP section of the Black Dome..
“I am none other than a merchant named Geoilsan, who leads a small business called Geumryongsangdan.!”
It was Geo Il-san, who had a body shape that would make it obvious to a passerby that he was related by blood to Geo Sang-woong. The crowd murmured in surprise when they found out his identity..
“Geumryongjangju!”
“Well, that student is the son of Geumryongjangju.?”
“Isn't the Golden Dragon Sangdan a Daesan corps that competes for the top rank among the world's top ten sangdans?!”
After checking the reactions of those around him, Geoilsan spoke in a loud voice..
“The guy on the off stage is my one and only son. Everyone must have been surprised to suddenly find gold. As an Abby, I feel dizzy when I think about how much that guy's fortune will be worth.…….”
At Geumryongjangju's light joke, laughter erupted from those around him. Everyone knew that for the owner of the Golden Dragon, who could fill several treasures with gold, that amount of gold was nothing..
Geo Il-san looked straight at his son standing on the non-stage. I felt a strong will to believe in myself from the gaze I met..
‘boy.’
Although he was born as the son of a merchant, he had an interest in martial arts from a young age and had a dream of becoming the best in the world..
Two years ago, my son turned into a ruined person as soon as he returned from Emperor Cheonmu's visit..
His eyes, which were full of firearms, became dull, he began frequenting gambling dens, and his appetite became so excessive that he did not take care of his body as a warrior..
‘I could have all the money in the world, but I couldn't do anything about my children..’
I scolded him horribly and told him to come to his senses, and also begged him to learn martial arts again, saying he would do anything for him. Nevertheless, I despaired of the reality that nothing had changed..
But not anymore.
Geo Sang-woong, who is now on the non-stage, has become a much more devoted young man than two years ago..
These were all changes that occurred after meeting a teacher named Baek Soo-ryong..
When Geoilsan turned his head to look at Baeksu-ryong, Baeksu-ryong smiled and nodded..
‘believe it.’
It was as if he was saying that. Geo Il-san nodded, gave strength to his stomach and declared to the audience..
“I, Geumryongjangju, Geoilsan will guarantee it! If my son loses in Baktubimu, I will give him as much gold as I promised to Choil Student of Cheonmuhakgwan.!”
Whose son is this? He has a lot of guts to bet as much gold as he weighs in stakes..
As a father who only had money, there was no reason not to help..
Besides, Geoilsan’s words are not over yet..
“Also, regardless of the outcome of this meeting, I will serve drinks and food to everyone here today! Please go to a nearby guesthouse and eat, drink, and enjoy yourself to your heart’s content! All calculations will be done at Geumryong Sangdan.!”
Wow!
As Geumryongjangju released his sword with great enthusiasm, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience. Because no one would turn down free food and alcohol..
Geoilsan sat down, feeling the heated atmosphere. He knew that his son's wanderings were related to Kwonpae Choil..
“Since he is my son, I believe he will not engage in a loss-making business. Please punish me properly in front of everyone..”
As if he had heard his father's encouragement, Geo Sangwoong grinned and slammed his fists together in front of his chest..
* * *
“Who would say that the teacher is not the disciple?…….”
Namgungsu pressed his temples with his fingers as if he had a headache..
His gaze was directed at the spectators who were splitting into groups and cheering passionately..
“Geo Sang-woong! Like Meng Ho-kwon, you too should press the bridge of your opponent’s nose.!”
“first day! This time, it's time to show Cheonmu Hakkwan's skills.!”
“I bet everything on the Blue Dragon Museum.!”
“Do you know that the first day is the same as the first day? It's a review index that was in the Yongbong last year as well.!”
Even though it was the last game, the response was much more enthusiastic than the first game. It was hard to see any spectators who had left their seats..
Geo Sang-woong laid the plate, and his father, Geo Il-san, lit a fire and grew it into a large plate..
The commotion got so loud that the start of the game was temporarily delayed by the Murim League for safety reasons..
“……There is no separate gambling table..”
Namgungsu's keen sense of humor was captured in various places. The sound of a tank clanking and shouts predicting the winner and stating the amount could be heard from all directions..
even.
“We'll bet everything on Geo Sang-woong's victory.!”
“You bastards. What if you also bet money??”
“Ahhh why! I'm eating it for nothing.!”
Namgungsu looked at Baeksuryong, who was dragging Heonwongang by his ears. Next to him were other students who were trying to secretly participate in the gambling game and were caught one by one..
“……White Water Dragon. Is this something you planned too??”
“What are you talking about??”
Baek Soo-ryong looked at Nam Gung-su with an expression of bewilderment..
As the person in charge of the Life Guidance Department, I was returning from catching students who were trying to engage in gambling with my father, the head student, when Namgungsu suddenly started an argument..
“If anything happens, you think it was all my fault.?”
“Ask your conscience why you have such doubts.”
“……Hmm. Anyway, I didn't do it..”
Baek Soo-ryong cleared his throat for a moment as if his conscience was pricking him a lot, then turned his head and looked at Geo Sang-woong on the off-stage..
“That guy made it all up himself. When you look at his size, you might think he can solve anything with his strength, but he's a lot smarter than you think..”
In fact, among the Blue Dragon Five Mangs, Geo Sang-woong was the most perceptive and quick-thinking disciple along with Yeo-min..
Although he mainly learned external skills, he was a warrior with both civil and military skills who was also able to devise schemes when necessary..
“I still see it now. Thanks to Geo Sang-woong driving the mood, Cho-il was put in an awkward position..”
“an awkward position?”
Baek Soo-ryong, who had already realized his disciple's intentions, smiled evilly and nodded..
“Choil has never accepted the offer. However, the atmosphere shifted to receiving gold if you won the match. Because Geumryongjangju even confirmed it. in other words…….”
Namgoongsu responded as if he knew what that meant..
“In the opposite case, it means that the title of Kwonpae will definitely be taken away. Regardless of your will.”
“that's right.”
Baek Su-ryong smiled meaningfully and looked at Choil on the off-stage. A cold sneer formed on the corner of his mouth..
Choil tried to maintain an indifferent expression, but was unable to completely hide his embarrassment at the situation turning out differently than he had expected..
“While I was shocked by the huge amount of gold and couldn't refuse it right away, a bet was naturally made. Now it's become a situation where I can't even redeem it..”
On the other hand, the gaze towards Geo Sang-woong contained a very satisfied feeling..
“I learned really well who his disciple was..”
“Is it true that it is the darkness of hard work and silence?…….”
Namgungsu sighed with a sad expression and continued speaking..
“Choil is by no means an easy opponent..”
“Geo Sang-woong knows that it won't be easy. I'm not that reckless..”
“However, the reason this board was made was…….”
“That means he definitely wants to get revenge. You guessed it. What happened at the Tianwu Emperor two years ago?.”
“……If you fail?”
Namgung-su remembered Geo Sang-woong, whose heart was broken by Cho-il and who lived like a scoundrel for two years..
I couldn't help but worry that the past might repeat itself..
However, Baek Soo-ryong looked straight into Nam Gung-su’s eyes and asked back..
“I think I'll fail?”
“…….”
Instead of answering, Namgungsu turned his head and looked at Geo Sangwoong..
When the crowd's noise calmed down somewhat, the host announced that the dance would begin soon..
Two boys walked to the center of the off-stage and faced each other..
I saw Choil with a very stern expression, and Geo Sangwoong standing calmly in front of him..
“It's Gwonpae Geo Sang-woong... … . Not bad.”
“yes?”
Baek Soo-ryong laughed at Nam Gung-su's muttering and put his hands together to cheer for his student..
“Show me your achievements so far, Geo Sang-woong! It will be defeated in one fell swoop.!”
It would have been nice to just stop there, but Baek Soo-ryong went on to say things that didn't need to be said..
“Even the teacher bet everything on you! So what happens if you lose is left to your imagination.!”
“……white water dragon!”
The Cheongryong Academy Ilta instructor's roar erupted, but it was soon drowned out by the cheers of the audience as the game began..
* * *
‘Damn it…….’
Choil couldn't hide his embarrassment and his expression hardened..
It was like I was possessed by something..
The moment Geo Sang-woong offered a huge amount of gold, he should have said this right away..
“Are you asking me to bet my reputation as a warrior on gold? I will refuse without even thinking about it.!”
But it was too late. Because it was such a huge amount of gold that anyone would have no choice but to hesitate..
While there was a brief conflict, the situation progressed as if the bet had been accepted..
Now, even if you win this competition, you won't be able to avoid the criticism that you chased gold rather than fame..
“……I wore short hair that didn't suit my size..”
Geo Sang-woong chuckled and asked at Cho-il’s sarcasm..
“What kind of nonsense?”
“He probably expected to lose in a match and offered gold to at least humiliate me. You think I don’t know??”
“I think I only know one and don't know the other..”
Geo Sang-woong turned his arm and gently relaxed his shoulder. An arm like a log split the air with a boom..
“It's just a small amount of money, but I have no intention of giving it to you. So don't be fooled.”
“penny, money……?”
The dancing has already begun. They slowly circled around, searching for gaps in each other..
This time, Choil taunted Geo Sangwoong by curling up one corner of his mouth..
“They seem to mistakenly believe that they have a chance of winning if they compete without any internal skills.…….”
Although Choil was large enough, Geosangwoong's body was so large and strong that it would not be an exaggeration to say that he received heaven's blessing..
But in Choil's opinion, it didn't really matter..
eat.
“Even two years ago, you didn't get beaten up by me because you didn't have any skills, right??”
Wow!
The conversation between the two could only be heard by the audience's enthusiastic cheering. The corners of Geo Sang-woong’s eyes were furrowed fiercely. Choil chuckled and continued his provocation..
“Well, it may have been a while since I forgot, but…….”
In a very brief moment, Choil saw an eerie sight of life in his eyes..
“Don't climb without knowing the subject. pig.”
Kwaang!
Geo Sang-woong rushed forward with a strong step forward..
A simple foot cloud was strong enough to shake the non-stage..
However, Choil smiled in remorse as he looked at Geo Sang-woong rushing towards him with terrifying force..
‘As expected, it's easy to get over something that happened in the past..’
Even though it may be possible to get rid of the demonic energy planted with the Absolute Soul Magic, it will not be able to get rid of the memories of being cruelly crushed and trampled by the opponent..
If you stimulated it appropriately, it was easy to make it lose its temper and attack..
‘I'll give you a shot first..’
Choil burrowed into the arms of Geo Sang-woong, who was rushing towards him with a big movement, and swung his fist aiming for the empty side..
At that moment, their eyes met.
‘smile?’
Geo Sang-woong did not block or dodge the punch. Rather, he opened his body wide and narrowed the distance further..
His expression was very calm, as if he was saying that the excitement and provocation was all an act..
What a joke!
A dull sound rang out, but the result was completely different from what Choil expected..
“Are you done??”
Choil raised his head and looked at Geo Sangwoong..
A blow struck intentionally).
It was the same as what Il-seong did to Ya Soo-hyuk in the first game, but the result was the exact opposite..
“You couldn't have done it on purpose…….”
“Did a mosquito bite? It tickles..”
Because Geo Sang-woong didn’t take a single step back even after being hit by Cho-il’s fist..
“Now it's my turn.”
terrestrial.
Geo Sang-woong’s large hand grabbed Cho-il’s shoulder. And soon, a terrifying grip began to tighten my bones as if they would break them..
