Chapter 594
594fury. The results of the relay
“Cheonmuhakkwan continues to lead!”
“They don't allow overtaking even once from the start.!”
The audience was intoxicated with excitement. The sight of the latter-day indexes running at full speed stimulated a different, more primal emotion from non-moon..
Who is the fastest among the Five University Hall’s Review Index??
There was a heated debate over this interesting topic..
“Of course, it's the Okjin of Cheonmuhakkwan. Don't you know that Kunlun's Cloud Dragon Grand Eight Ceremony is considered the best in the world among the nine divine methods of One Bang??”
“Uh huh. Did you forget the open cow girl? Although it did not appear in the relay race, when it comes to light and air, openness is the best in the world.!”
“Sima Hyeon of the Zhou Zuo Academy is no stranger to it. His resolve must be extraordinary, even because of King Yeom, who passed away not long ago. Just looking at the fact that he participated in the light ball competition ahead of Yongbongbimu,⋯⋯.”
While the names of many late exponents were mentioned, almost no mention of Cheongryong Academic Center was heard..
It is true that Cheongryonghakwan showed surprising results in the foreign attack competition, but it was at the bottom because of the checks that started from the beginning..
“The last runner has started!”
“I think Cheonmu Hakkwan will win this easily..”
“I got a little bored⋯⋯.”
While most people were predicting an obvious result as they watched the last runner of Cheonmuhakgwan take an overwhelming lead, the warriors of Beihae Ice Palace were watching the game in a solemn atmosphere..
“The North Sea wind begins to blow strongest at sunset.”
“Foreigners who are not prepared for this often end up getting eaten by the cold wind..”
It was a short conversation between Eunhwiryeong, Lord of the North Sea Ice Palace, and Grand Elder..
They looked at the woman who had just started running with a solemn look on her face. However, anyone who was familiar with the warriors of the North Sea Ice Palace would have said that they are now reacting very passionately..
At that time, there was someone watching the women closely on the other side..
“Cheongryong Academic Center, Yeomin.”
Isado gazed coldly at the girl who had learned the same but different Shinwolbingbaekmu technique as him..
At the time of life and death with King Yeom, that child appeared in front of him to save King Yeom. Then I remembered the back of me desperately running away..
-You are in a similar situation.?
Before he could escape, he was caught by his own hands, but instead of being scared, Yeomin looked at the apostle of the blood religion with pity..
- You were kidnapped by a blood cult at a young age, forced to learn martial arts, and forced to kill people according to orders. I'm not doing this because I sincerely believe in a blood religion or something.!
What no one dares to say to an apostle of a blood religion.
A normal Isado would have immediately ripped the opponent's mouth out, or turned it into ice and shattered it on the spot..
The reason she didn't do that was because of her doubts about the Shinwolbingbaekmu that Yeomin had learned, and the incomprehensible look in her eyes that looked at her as if she felt sorry for her..
-Come with me. Then you will naturally know how to treat it.⋯⋯.
-That martial arts. Who did you learn it from??
Yeo- min never answered that question. Even though it must have been so painful that I lost consciousness due to the cold seeping into my bones, I stubbornly held on..
That was the last time. If Saho hadn't shown up at that time, the child would have been taken to the school, but Saho's betrayal that happened later was something no one expected..
-Master made it for me.
Saho said he met his old teacher..
It is said that he was reincarnated as Baek Soo-ryong and even gave himself the name 'Sagon'..
It was an absurd story. If it were my usual self, I would never have believed it..
That was before I met a girl who learned the same martial arts skills as me..
At that moment, the face of my old teacher, whom I had seen while tossing and turning in my sleep, suddenly appeared in a very old memory..
“Why is this now⋯⋯.”
The moment he remembered the sad expression on his face silently looking down at himself as he cried and fell asleep, Isado was taken aback by memories he had completely forgotten..
At the same time, a slight pain arose in my heart. When Isado placed his hand on his chest, the Three Apostles asked in a puzzled voice..
“Lee Ho. Why do you do that?”
“⋯⋯It's nothing.”
The pain went away quickly, but questions remained. Isado shook his head and shook off his idle thoughts..
When I raised my head again and looked at the race track, I saw Yeomin chasing the runners ahead at breakneck speed..
It was confusing, but one thing was clear:.
“It's faster now than it was then..”
Suddenly, an unfamiliar word called samae (師妹) came to mind..
✻ ✻ ✻
The last relay runner at Tianmuhakwan was Yujin of Kunlun Sect..
With long limbs and a nimble body, he possessed one of the best light attack skills in the Cheonmu Hakkan along with the open-minded Sogeol-ah..
‘It's half a turn away⋯⋯.’
Ok-jin, who measured the distance to the late runners, took a little time and launched a light attack..
It wasn't because I was careless. It was to maximize efficiency..
If your muscles become too tired from sprinting, it may affect your next game..
‘There are no variables. If so, reduce fatigue as much as possible and cross the finish line..’
Don't just think about the game in front of you right now..
Cheonmuhakkwan is aiming for the overall championship, and to achieve that, it had to set its sights further afield. It was also the monk's teaching to always broaden your horizons and think about the next move..
Hwii profit!
Even without going all out, Okjin's new model was surprisingly fast. The sight of it running down the race track was reminiscent of a crane..
Wow!
Despite the cheers and praise pouring in towards him, Okjin's expression was calm. It was because it was familiar and natural..
Confidence that no one can surpass you with light attack. Ok-Jin thought, allocating his stamina and measuring his strength..
‘Anyway, the last lap is the deciding factor..’
It was then. The eyes of some of the audience turned to the back of Okjin..
“Jujakhakkwan is coming out with a bang.!”
Sima Xuan, the last runner in the Zhou Zuo Academy, was chasing the leader at a breakneck speed..
Grumbling!
Sima Hyun’s new form, engulfed in flames, began to get faster and faster. Every time the sole of my foot hit the floor, it stretched out with explosive force..
Sima Xuan beat off the last runner from Baekhohakwan who was running alongside him, and soon he even passed the runner from Xuanwuhakwan who was running ahead of him..
Okjin glanced back and a calm smile appeared on his lips. He spoke to Sima Xuan, who was getting frighteningly close..
“I feel like competing with you.”
The two were acquaintances. We met a few times at last year's Cheonmu Festival, and although we weren't very close, we spoke comfortably because we were in the same grade..
However, Sima Xuan did not respond and focused on launching a light attack. The will not to waste even a little breath was evident..
Unlike Ok-jin, he had no leisure. As the former leader of the Zhou Zuo Academy was delayed to keep the Blue Dragon Academy in check, an even heavier burden was placed on Sima Xuan's shoulders..
“You look desperate. But I can't give up on this either..”
“⋯⋯With my skills, I will beat you.”
“I wish you luck.”
Okjin never gave up the lead. He took the shortest route and appropriately blocked Sima Xuan's path. I maintained a strategy of preserving my physical strength while moving efficiently. Sima Xuan threatened him and aimed for the lead at every opportunity..
The spectators who watched the two with sweaty hands shouted.
“It's the last lap soon!”
“It's real from now on!”
Moments later, as the front runners entered the final lap, the engines activated and the terrain became more rugged..
Kugugoogung Palace⋯⋯!
The flat ground became uneven, the hard floor sank downward, sand filled up in its place, and the single-wood bridge broke off in the middle..
The purpose was to drastically increase the difficulty in the last lap. It was a stage that tested not just a straight and fast light attack, but also the ability to make one's own judgment..
Nevertheless, the speed of the two runners in the lead did not change much. Yu Jin easily dodged obstacles with dynamic movements like a dragon gliding through clouds, while Sima Hyun jumped over or burned most obstacles with explosive movements..
“Sima Hyeon, that guy. organ system⋯⋯.”
“Huh! It's like seeing the old King Yeom in his youth.!”
In the evaluation of the warriors, the distance between the two became increasingly narrow. However, Sima Hyeon's breathing became a little rougher, probably because he was wasting a lot of stamina..
On the other hand, Okjin still had strength. He seemed a little tired of Sima Xuan's persistence, but he never lost the lead..
However, while they were racing alone, keeping each other in check, trouble was brewing behind the scenes..
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhh-
Okjin flinched at the cold feeling that passed by his backside..
“⋯⋯what?”
On the other hand, Sima Xuan smiled slightly even in a tired situation, as if he had expected it..
“I'll catch up with you soon. I should have made the difference wider⋯⋯.”
Okjin, who couldn't hold back his curiosity at those words, glanced back and saw a pure white snowstorm approaching them at an alarming speed..
A girl who brings the cold wind of the North Sea, which is so strong that it cannot be compared to that of Jungwon..
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A bitter snowstorm froze all machinery and turned the area into a sheet of ice..
Yeo-min was gliding over it, and the new model, which seemed small at first due to the distance, was growing unbelievably fast..
“What is that⋯⋯.”
“under⋯⋯.”
In an instant, the runners from Baekho Academy and Hyeonmu Academy, who were behind, were looking at Yeomin's back with a devastated expression..
“crazy⋯⋯.”
Ok-jin realized it only after swearing without realizing it..
Now is not the time to think about efficiency..
He immediately raised all his internal energy and sent it to Yongcheonhyeol..
Hwii profit!
Kunlun's Cloud Dragon Grand Eclipse unfolded with full force and accelerated..
Sima Xuan also gritted his teeth and used up all his remaining strength..
The finish line is not far away anyway. There was no reason to save strength.
And behind them, the last runner of the Blue Dragon Hall was chasing with terrifying force..
It looked like two scared boys running away from an unstoppable natural disaster..
The audience who had been sitting in their seats watching was suddenly standing up. They watched the Blue Dragon School's chase with their mouths open in a daze..
“The distance gradually narrows.!”
“Well, what is so fast??”
“Ten chapters, five chapters, three chapters, right behind your back...! catch up soon!”
And finally, the moment when the three new types overlapped on the same line..
The energy waves emitted by each person mixed, and tremendous cheers poured out from the audience. And at the same time, the powerful foot crossed the finish line..
Hwiii profit-!
After passing the finish line, the three people ran a little further by inertia and then stopped. Everyone must have exerted themselves to the point of near exhaustion, so they bent down and cleared their rough breathing..
“⋯⋯what? who won?”
“Okjin of Cheonmuhakkwan maintained the lead until the end.!”
“What are you talking about! I clearly saw with my own eyes that Suzaku Hakkwan turned the tables in the end.!”
“Didn't you see the blizzard hit those two? This is a great reversal of the Blue Dragon Academy.!”
The audience murmured in agreement..
It was a Park Bing-in match. Even experts with excellent eye contact could only say that the three students crossed the finish line at the same time..
“We shouldn't be like this among ourselves⋯⋯.”
“Let's listen to what the supervisor we saw right before us said.!”
Naturally, people's eyes turned to Namgungsu, who was closest to the finish line..
As he watched the results from afar as a special supervisor, he thought he would have definitely seen who came in first..
“The results of the relay⋯⋯.”
At the sound of Namgoongsu's voice slowly opening his mouth as if indifferent, the whole place became completely quiet, and everyone listened..
