Chapter 590
590fury. You too have changed a lot.
Win and lose! Win and lose! trophies!
Cheonmuhak Hall was shaken by the voices of the audience cheering for the new owner of Byeolho..
It was the moment when the divinity of martial arts was born with countless people watching..
Choil of Cheonmuhakgwan, who was talked about by soft-spoken celebrities as someone who would become the best in the world in the future, was lying on the floor of the non-stage..
Surprisingly, the opponent who defeated him was a fourth grader from the Blue Dragon Academy who had not been able to avoid being ranked lowest in the Emperor of Heaven for 10,000 years..
“⋯⋯.”
Geo Sangwoong raised his head in a daze and looked around the audience..
Cheonmuhak Hall was shaken by the voices of people chanting his new nickname..
“haha⋯⋯!”
I finally realized that I had won. My whole body trembled with an exhilarating feeling of pleasure. Meanwhile, my eyes met Geoilsan Mountain..
-Father! When I grow up, I want to be the best in the world.!
-It might be more difficult than making the Golden Dragon Merchants' Association the best in the world.?
-I still want to do it!
-ha ha ha! I get it. You should try whatever you want to do. This dad will push me as hard as I can..
When I was young, I suddenly remembered the moment I made a promise to my father..
My father's thick hand stroked my head while smiling happily..
Although he is now bigger than his father, to Geo Sangwoong, his father is still as big as Taisan..
Geo Sang-woong could not hold back his emotions for a moment and shouted with all his might..
“father! I will keep my promise! stay tuned-!”
When Geo Sang-woong shouted in a loud voice, Geo Il-san's eyes widened for a moment, but then he chuckled and nodded. There were small tears around his wrinkled eyes..
On the other hand, Choil, who lost consciousness, was carried away by Cheonmuje agents..
Wooooow!
Even though he collapsed in a miserable state, the audience booed Choil instead of pitying him..
As Choil's defeat in the external attack deepened, he showed a cowardly attitude by using his internal skills to attack..
If we had won the extra match, we would have been able to make up for it to some extent, but as we lost even that, there was no room for overturning public opinion..
The result was always crueler to the loser. Added to this were the complaints and ridicule of those who lost their stake..
‘It would be impossible to come back again..’
Baek Soo-ryong thought as he watched Cho-il being carried outside..
The reputation that Choil had built up so far fell to the ground in an instant, and even his star title, which could be considered the honor of a martial artist, was taken away..
Since there is no political faction that would like Hu Ji-soo, who was branded as despicable, the connections built at Cheonmu Hak-gwan will also lose their power. Most of the usefulness that it should have had as a part of the blood religion had disappeared..
‘Moreover, traces were revealed during the mixing..’
Choil almost used magic attacks without realizing it several times while competing with Geo Sangwoong..
I must have had at least some self-control, but I endured it until the end, but that moment of conflict was enough to arouse the suspicion of the world's best experts..
I could already see some suspicious eyes turning towards Choil..
“It's over.”
Baek Soo-ryong briefly clicked his tongue and completely lost interest in Cho-il..
At that moment, the governor of Cheonmuhak was standing up from his seat..
“We declare the victory of Geo Sang-woong, a fourth-year student at Cheongryong Academy. According to the agreement, Geo Sang-woong will also have the nickname Kwon-pae from this time. I, the head of Cheonmuhak, guarantee that fact..”
At the official declaration of Cheonmuhakgwanju, cheers erupted again from the audience..
But the words of Cheonmuhakgwanju did not end there..
“However, those who attack and injure an opponent who has admitted defeat will be subject to disciplinary action in the future. Of course, the same punishment will be given to Choil..”
“yes.”
Geo Sang-woong nodded calmly as if he had made up his mind..
There wasn't a single trace of regret on his face..
Even if I had to do it again, I would have definitely given him the last shot..
“thank you all!”
After giving a hug to the crowd who cheered him on, Geo Sang-woong got off the stage and limped to the Cheongryong Academy camp..
He won, but he was also in total physical condition. I was probably going to be sore for a few days..
“boy. I had a hard time.”
When Baek Soo-ryong came out to greet his disciple before anyone else, Geo Sang-woong smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head..
“Thanks to you, teacher. At some point, I could clearly see the bastard's attacks. As if you've experienced it before⋯⋯.”
Baek Soo-ryong, who had experience dealing with Cho Hyeok in the Blood Dragon Corps in his previous life, also knew about Danhon Yeom Ra-su..
It was also true that when Geo Sang-woong met Cho-il again, he trained him to respond unconsciously..
But that did not diminish Geo Sang-woong’s victory..
“You won with your skills. So you can be confident.”
“⋯⋯yes.”
Baek Soo-ryong patted his disciple's shoulder and told him to rest as he had worked hard..
Afterwards, Geo Sang-woong received a congratulatory baptism from Cheongryong Academy students, including Heon Won-gang, Wi Ji-cheon, and Yeo-min, and finally approached Ya Su-hyuk..
It was Ya Su-hyeok, who was classified as an injured person due to his fight with Il-seong. He, who had bandages all over his body, twitched the corner of his mouth when he saw Geo Sang-woong. Eunho yawned and stretched over his head..
“What does that look like? It's a mess.”
“Just look at your face and say it. Ilsung was sane than you..”
They scolded each other once and burst out laughing at the same time..
“Anyway, thank you for your hard work..”
“okay. you had a hard time too."
The two boys lightly bumped their large fists..
And I tried to watch the rest of the game by sitting side by side in the injured section.⋯⋯.
Grumble~ Piyuuu⋯⋯.
Grumble~ Piyuuu⋯⋯.
After the commotion calmed down, another game started, but the two people who started snoring and leaning on each other's shoulders did not wake up..
The students giggled as they looked at the two people sleeping soundly..
“At this rate, there are definitely two bears..”
“Who said not.”
Kwonpae (拳覇) and Mengho Kwon (猛虎拳)).
Two people who will fight to be the best in the world with their fists in the future.
However, in the Blue Dragon Hall, they were still black and white twins..
✻ ✻ ✻
All matches on the first day of Emperor Wu's reign have been concluded..
The scores of students who participated in external engineering activities were assigned to each school, and the calculated rankings were posted as banners on the wall of the highest building of Cheonmu School..
“⋯⋯.”
Namgungsu looked up the first day’s report card and then turned his head to look at Baek Soo-ryong..
“Are you satisfied with your performance on the first day??”
At that moment, Baek Soo-ryong also raised his head and was looking at the report card. He shrugged his shoulders and chuckled..
“This isn't bad at all.”
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Joo Baekcheong Hyeoncheon
Jakho Ryong Moo Moo
The five university hall banners, posted from the left in order of grades, were fluttering lightly in the wind..
On the first day, it was Jujakhakgwan who received the highest overall score in the external attack competition..
They could say that the students of Cheonmuhakkwan and Cheongryonghakkwan clashed from the beginning and took advantage of the fishermen's geography..
“It was impossible for both of them to go to the next game..”
The black and white twins were completely exhausted after one dance with all their might..
Of course, both expressed their intention to participate in the next meeting, but Baek Soo-ryong was blocked like a sword in Namgung-su's line without even being able to do so..
-If you insist, I will pack your bags and send you home..
The sight was so sad that Geo Sang-woong and Ya Su-hyuk had to lie down quietly. He was currently resting and receiving treatment..
“I expected Suzaku Academy, but Baekho Academy was also pretty good..”
Baek Soo-ryong said while looking at the banner of Baekho Academy, which was ranked second..
The final of the external attack competition was a match between the students of Jujak Academy and Baekho Academy..
Although it did not attract as much attention as the match between Cheongryong Academy and Cheonmu Academy, students from both schools also received applause for their high-level external performance..
“There is no easy opponent for Emperor Wu of Heaven. If you only focus on Cheonmuhakkan, you may lose points elsewhere like today..”
“I'll have to pay a little more attention starting tomorrow..”
And the third was Cheongryong Academic Center..
Although Geo Sang-woong and Ya Soo-hyuk withdrew after the first match, their dance performance left the deepest impression on the audience..
Although the report card of being ranked third out of the five schools was somewhat disappointing, no one could deny that the true protagonist of the first day of Emperor Wu was the Blue Dragon School..
“Heh heh. I guess it wasn't strategic..”
Noh Gun-sang approached the two with his back to them..
Throughout the competition, Roh did not say much. He was just watching the students and seemed to be enjoying Cheonmuje more than anyone else at the Blue Dragon Hall..
Noh Gun-sang smiled mischievously and said to Baek Soo-ryong:.
“Teacher Baek. If you hadn't stepped in midway, it would have been possible to dominate the foreign attack event on the first day..”
He was talking about re-fighting Choil and Geo Sangwoong, who had been disqualified..
Even at that time, Geo Sang-woong was exhausted, but he still had enough energy left for the next fight. If he had accepted the result as is and played in the next game, he could have aimed for victory on the first day..
However, Baek Soo-ryong went out of his way to promote the meeting between Geo Sang-woong and Cho-il. Noh Gun-sang was asking about the reason..
“There's no way a smart person like you wouldn't have guessed that, so why did you do that??”
It was Baek Soo-ryong who boasted about winning the Cheonmuje Championship..
And it was no exaggeration to say that he had been running toward that goal for the past year..
However, Baek Soo-ryong made Geo Sang-woong participate in a competition that had nothing to do with the score, causing Blue Dragon Academy to suffer losses..
Baek Soo-ryong thought for a moment, then smiled and said..
“When I looked at Sangwoong's face at that time, I wanted to see him defeat Choil more than I wanted to see him win Cheonmuje. that was all.”
“If a similar situation arose, would you make the same decision??”
“well. Probably so.”
“Are you confident that you won’t regret it later??”
Baek Soo-ryong answered the question that sounded a bit meaningful to him without hesitation..
“You won't regret it. any.”
A soft smile appeared around Noh Gunsang’s wrinkled eyes. It was because of Baek Soo-ryong’s words that something more important than winning the Cheonmuje title had become available. Namgungsu made a strange expression next to him..
“You too have changed a lot..”
“Of course, Emperor Wu of Tian will win. Aren't there still six days left? From now on, you just have to win everything..”
“⋯⋯I'm still very greedy, though..”
Baek Soo-ryong smiled and slowly turned his head to look in one direction..
“And... I feel better that they came in last than that we didn't come in first.?”
Where Baek Soo-ryong's gaze was directed, instructors and students of Cheonmuhakkan were gathered with stern expressions..
“⋯⋯It's only day one. Nothing to do with grades.”
The lowest level of Cheonmuhakkwan.
Even though it is only the first day, it will be the first report card I have received in decades..
It is no exaggeration to say that the significance was only placed on participation in external engineering events, but the ranking is lower than that of Hyeonmu Hak-gwan..
It was because of the disciplinary action and penalty points that Choil received..
“It was a defeat to only allow seniors Ilseong and Choil to participate in order to reduce unnecessary physical expenditure..”
“There is no excuse. It was a complete defeat.”
“It wasn't just a loss, it was a disgrace to the school's name.⋯⋯!”
The Cheonmuhakgwan students, who had always been relaxed, were agitated. That's why the results were so shocking..
The facial expressions of some of the Shaolin dragons who were calming the students by saying that winning or losing is a matter of illness did not look good either..
“Amitabha Buddha⋯⋯.”
I had always chanted in a gentle manner, but now I felt alert and fighting spirit..
The same was true for other students. A look of nervousness was also evident on the faces of the students in the old school room..
“It should have come out like that a long time ago.”
Baek Soo-ryong smiled happily and enjoyed Cheon Mu Hak Gwan's reaction. I had a feeling that the competition would become more and more interesting..
Just like that, the satisfying first night of Emperor Wu of Heaven was coming to an end..
✻ ✻ ✻
that night.
In the city's bars and restaurants, the lights stayed on all night. Due to the influx of customers, the Jeomsoys had no time to rest even for a moment..
“Kwonpae Geo Sang-woong! Big! It was so powerful that he knocked Choil to the floor.!”
“Hahaha! I won a lot of money today, so I'll give it a treat.!”
“Do you see this person? Today is the liquor that Geumryongjangju buys, so drink it for free and buy it tomorrow..”
The whole city was in a noisy mood..
Those who watched the competition directly from the stands had a passionate discussion about the later indices..
They talked about who was stronger and who was weaker, and about the late exponents of each school that had not yet participated in the competition..
“I was very disappointed in Choil. There are degrees of cowardice⋯⋯.”
“That skill is also questionable. There was a feeling that the previous evaluations were excessive..”
“It's not because you lost money.?”
“Hehehe!”
Choil, hiding in the crowd, gritted his teeth as he heard ridicule and criticism coming from all directions..
‘Damn it!’
My whole body was still throbbing from being hit by Geo Sangwoong. I'll need to recuperate for a few days, but I don't have time for that right now..
My survival instinct was warning me of danger. It was after I came to consciousness in the hospital..
He felt strange eyes looking at him with suspicion, and was told by the head of Cheonmuhak to see him separately once his injuries were fully healed..
‘Could it be that I got caught??’
Choil immediately escaped from the clinic and covered himself in a human skin mask..
It was easy to hide in the crowd of people. Erasing traces was also simple..
Finding oneself among so many people was nearly impossible, even for the most expert..
‘If I somehow get out of here⋯⋯.’
The thorough training I received from Hyeokyo was helpful. After killing all traces, erasing traces, and moving without stopping, Choil succeeded in escaping from the center and reaching a place with few people..
“Phew⋯⋯.”
You can rest assured now. It was late at night, and the church's safe house was a little further away. It was when Choil finally breathed a sigh of relief..
“Where are you going in such a hurry?.”
“⋯⋯!”
Choil's body stiffened at the sound of a voice coming from behind him. He slowly turned around and increased his energy..
However, the moment he identified his opponent, Choil, with a pale complexion, immediately knelt down..
