Chapter 614
614fury. I need to focus
The students at Cheongryong Academy could not easily talk to Namgung-seok, who came off the stage..
This was because Namgoong-seok, who could not hide his angry expression, kept his mouth shut without making a single groan even while receiving treatment for his wounds..
Fortunately, Dok Go-jun, a senior directly under the student council, patted his junior on the back..
“Well done.”
“⋯⋯yes.”
Namgoong Seok was a boy with strong pride..
Pride in being from the Namgung family and belief in one’s own abilities..
Although he was not as good as Wi Ji-cheon, his skills were enough to participate in the Yongbong dance on behalf of the Blue Dragon Academy..
“At the end, the herbivorous food came in from an unexpected angle..”
“My wrist was incredibly bent.⋯⋯.”
“it's a shame. I thought I could win.”
Some of the students at Cheongryong Academy whispered with regret..
With their eyes, they could not figure out that Jong-yeon of the Jeomchang sect had taken an elixir or that the head of Cheonmuhak had taught his students herbivorous diet, which was hard on the body..
I just thought that Nam Gung-seok had lost by a narrow margin. As most people think.
“⋯⋯.”
At that time, Namgung-seok suddenly stood up and walked towards Wi Ji-cheon. Everyone watched with wide eyes at the sudden action..
“Wijicheon.”
“uh?”
Wi Ji-cheon looked at Nam Gung-seok with a helpless expression..
Should I comfort the friend who just came from Yongbongbimu, or should I treat him indifferently?.
“⋯⋯do you have something to say to me?”
It was a known fact to everyone at the Blue Dragon Academy that Nam Gung-seok had a competitive spirit with Wi Ji-cheon..
Whether we were sparring at Sanggeomyeon or when we ran into each other at the academy, Namgungseok always said that he would one day overcome Wijicheon..
The students looked on with embarrassment, wondering if Namgoong-seok, who lost in the dance, would pick a fight with Wi Ji-cheon for no reason or show his inferiority complex..
“The four-day sword method of the Jeomchang faction. I thought about it, and the first herbivore was bait. I forced the sword away and narrowed the distance. Because the characteristics of Sa-il Geombeop are famous.”
“⋯⋯uh?”
“Just be aware. I don't know if you need this advice. You need to look closely at your wrist. If it breaks like this⋯⋯.”
However, Namgoong Seok was a much more mature boy than his seniors thought..
To the extent that he is willing to share what he has learned from defeat to his opponent, who is about to have his turn..
“So... if you ever meet in the next match, be sure to win..”
Wi Ji-cheon, who listened intently to Nam Gung-seok's story, nodded seriously..
“huh. thank you.”
Heon Won-gang, who was listening to the conversation of his juniors next to him, wiped under his nose with his finger and made an expression of admiration..
“Children. This is the friendship that blooms on the battlefield..”
“Senior. Don't be weird. 'Cause I'm not friends with this guy.”
“Damn cute. If you are not friends, who are friends??”
“⋯⋯Then, you are also friends with a person named Paeng Sa-hyuk from Cheonmuhakkwan.?”
“Why am I friends with that bastard?!”
When Heonwon-gang punched the air and shouted loudly, Yeo-min slapped him on the back for being noisy. Namgoongseok sighed softly and returned to his seat..
And, the opportunity for Wi Ji-cheon to refer to Nam Gung-seok’s advice came sooner than expected..
“First-year students at Cheongryong Hall, Wi Ji-cheon, and fourth-year Cheonmu Hall students, please come up to the non-stage.!”
When the special supervisor who cleared the stage called the next dancers, the smallest boy in the Cheongryong Academy stood up..
“Is that kid Wijicheon? He said he was a swordsman from the Cheongryong Academy.⋯⋯.”
“It is said that he learned swordsmanship directly from the Blue Dragon Shinhyeop..”
“It's just a rumor, but it's said that he played a big role in the battle against the blood cult.?”
As the rumored Geomjae of the Cheongryong Academy climbed onto the non-stage, the audience began to murmur..
The attention of the old faction experts was naturally focused..
The expressions of some older veterans, including Buddha and Geomseong, changed sharply..
Baek Soo-ryong's expression hardened for a different reason than them..
“From the first day of Yongbongbimu, Cheonmuhakkwan and Cheongryonghakkwan meet in succession... That's also a fortune teller?”
He looked at Hu Ji-su, a tall man who would not be strange at all to be called a boy, or even a young man, on the stage on the other side of Wijicheon..
Movements with elongated limbs and subtlety. His well-trained body was enough to make you nod your head. He was truly a swordsman optimized for quick swordsmanship..
The crowd recognized the young man and cheered enthusiastically..
“It is the Jeomchang Sword Association (點蒼劍俠).!”
“Isn’t that student Hu Ji-soo, who took Yongbong last year??”
“This... This could be the most exciting match of the first day..”
The audience's expectations grew bigger and bigger..
Among the students who participated in the Yongbongbimu, Jongjin Jeomchanggeomhyeop was one of the top ten students in terms of name value..
As a fourth-year student about to graduate, if it had been like previous years, I would not have participated in the Yongbongbimu and would have given the opportunity to my juniors..
‘This is all a coincidence?’
After understanding the essence of Tianmu Hakjeongju, Baeksu-ryong decided that nothing that happened in Tianmu Emperor was a coincidence..
The bracket was the same. I heard that it was decided randomly and fairly, but White Water Dragon did not believe it..
At that moment, the ruler of Cheonmuhak also turned his head and looked at Baeksu-ryong..
The moment their eyes met, Baek Soo-ryong realized that Cheonmu Hakkwanju's breathing was somewhat rough and frowned..
“⋯⋯There are so many different things.”
Why would a world-class expert's breathing suddenly become heavy?.
It was clear that he was feeling joy while imagining the battle between the latter-day indices that he would soon see. He was that crazy about martial arts..
The gaze of the head of Cheonmu Hak conveyed his desire to quickly see Wi Ji-cheon's martial arts skills. It was as if he was saying that he had prepared the most suitable partner for that purpose..
“Don't pee after watching it..”
Baeksu-ryong, who made eye contact with the head of Cheonmuhak, laughed fiercely..
✻ ✻ ✻
“I apologize on behalf of the priest..”
Jong- jin was the older brother of Jong-yeon, who had previously won the match with Namgung-seok, and was the most anticipated latter-day figure in the Jeomchang faction..
At a young age, he quickly earned the title of Jeomchang Swordsman by cutting down the supply and demand of the demons of Sima Oedo who were indifferent to the harsh world, and last year, he became a Yongbong, proving that he has outstanding martial skills that are worthy of the title..
He was a military officer with no flaws in terms of skill and personality, and was famous for his thorough distinction between construction and construction..
However, he was a typical old school warrior..
“Due to my still immature skills, I inflicted unnecessary injuries on my junior at the Blue Dragon Academy. I'm going to scold you harshly, so I hope you don't take it to heart..”
“⋯⋯I'll tell it to Seok..”
Wi Ji-cheon nodded with a nervous expression and took a stance..
However, when Jong-jin saw a boy one head shorter than him holding a sword, rather than join him in the fight, he sighed softly..
“Could you please abstain??”
“yes?”
“I heard that you have excellent qualifications to be called a swordsman at the Blue Dragon Academy. but⋯⋯.”
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A vivid sword energy rose from Jong Jin’s sword..
It was not just a level that reached its peak, but a sword skill that was fully matured..
Exclamations erupted from all over the audience and members of the old faction nodded, but Jong-jin continued speaking without changing his expression as if it was no big deal..
“Among Cheonmuhakgwan students, there are few who have not been called geniuses. But most of them get frustrated when they see real geniuses. The standard is the dragon feng (龍鳳)..”
Jong Jin did not think what he said was arrogant at all..
It was just a simple fact.
Most of Cheonmuhakgwan's dragons did not participate in the previous external attack, light attack, and mock battle competitions..
It was a unique case that Hae-jo-ok and Cho-il, who were members of the student council, were.
“I was able to participate in the Yongbongbimu according to the solemn order of the monk, but in fact, I was not very happy about it. Because I'm not happy if I break the sword of a young junior.”
“⋯⋯.”
“So abstain. If I start dancing, I have no intention of ending it half-heartedly..”
As Jong-jin moved his sword and took a middle stance, a clear sword sound rang out from the sword. The audience once again burst into admiration..
Wi Ji-cheon did not respond at all. With a nervous look on his face, he simply raised his sword and took a mid stance. It was the same cardinal formula as the opponent..
Jongjin’s eyebrows twitched when he saw that..
“Are you going to drink the punishment in the end?.”
The supervisor stepped back and said it was okay to start working..
“given enough opportunity.”
Sigh.
Jong- jin's body rushed in a straight line with a light advance, as if taking a walk. It was a walking technique that seemed to cut into space..
I had no intention of prolonging the dance. Shortening the distance in an instant, the stab shot like a beam of light was aimed at Wi Ji-cheon's wrist. A blast that tore through the air exploded belatedly..
Kyaang!
Wi Ji-cheon raised his sword diagonally, and instead of catching his opponent off guard, he pulled his sword and prepared for the next attack. It was a response to Namgoong Seok's advice that the first herbivore was bait..
“Quite a bit. I'm confident.”
Jongjin nodded and stabbed his sword again. The essence of the Four Swordsmanship unfolded one after another in his hands..
Wi Ji-cheon also swung his sword without hesitation. A clear sword energy appeared in the soul of the sword..
Step by step!
The two people's paths became blurred and intertwined. The speed of the attack was so fast that spectators who did not practice eye techniques could not even tell the difference..
“It's so fast I can't really see it⋯⋯.”
“Who the heck is winning??”
Only the fierceness of the attack, the dust rising from the sword wind, and the hem of the robe that sometimes fluttered like flower petals were all that showed the fierceness of the fight..
As time passed, Jongjin's eyes grew bigger with surprise..
I could confidently say that there were not even five sword techniques in the world that could match the speed of the Jeomchang school's four-day sword technique..
However, the little boy in front of me was following his pace, albeit slightly slower. I don't know what kind of sword technique he learned, but it was impossible without his qualifications..
Jongjin, who took a step back for a moment, said without hiding his admiration..
“That's amazing. If he hadn't met me, he would have been considered a talent. Just unlucky.”
In fact, he is an outstanding talent who may become his rival in just a few years..
But Jong Jin’s thoughts were just an illusion..
The reason why Wijicheon's sword gradually caught up with the Four Blades of Swords.
“⋯⋯I was nervous because they said he was a genius..”
Wijicheon tilted his head a few times and grumbled softly..
“He was just a bluff.”
“⋯⋯what?”
“Otherwise⋯⋯.”
Wi Ji-cheon stopped ‘accommodating others’..
“Cheonmuhakgwan seems to have a slightly low standard for genius..”
With those words, Wi Ji-cheon swung his sword again..
Wow!
Jong Jin's body was pushed back by the sword strike that suddenly changed in power. Wi Ji-cheon walked toward him, who was embarrassed..
“Place the center of gravity further forward. Please lower your posture slightly.”
Whoops! Wow!
The center of gravity of the sword swung by Wi Ji-cheon was forcibly shifted, and the posture of the sword struck from above was lowered..
“Your back shouldn't be curled. Stand upright and apply even force to the entire sole of your foot..”
“what are you doing now⋯⋯!”
Whoops! Wow!
Two sword strikes changed Jong Jin’s posture..
However, Wei Ji-cheon sighed and swung his sword as if he still didn't like something..
With a little bit of nervousness.
“Where are you concentrating your mind? I need to focus properly!”
It was the moment when Bimu, who thought it was a close match, realized that it was a one-sided leadership sparring from one side..
