Chapter 628
628fury. realm of genius
A girl and a boy came up to the non-stage and faced each other..
“It's been a while. how have you been doing?”
“yes You did well too, senior.?”
Unlike the sturdy Jisoo who previously competed, she has a slim body and a youthful face..
Despite the meeting that was about to start, they greeted each other warmly with smiles rather than being wary of each other..
If it weren't for the sword at his waist, it would have looked like they were meeting to share a friendship rather than a fight..
“The tip of your sword just got sharper.”
“You really have changed a lot since the last time I saw you..”
The two people's clear, clear eyes glance at each other and slowly raise their hands to the sword..
There was a strange tension between the mischievous smile of a girl and the seemingly bright smile of a boy..
Wi Ji-cheon, the swordsman of Cheongryonghakkwan.
Jujakgwan's Jujak Sword (朱雀劍) Yeonha.
The sword geniuses representing the two academic schools were about to face off..
The warriors waiting for their fight, especially those wearing swords, had their eyes shining as if they would not miss a moment..
Among them, there were quite a few masters who were renowned for their sword skills..
“The martial arts taught by the Blue Dragon Shinhyeop to its students is the sword of the Geomjon of the past, right? If it's true, wouldn't the result be a bit obvious?…….”
“I guess you don't know yet. This is a person who was taught directly by the Young Sword Saint of the Suzaku Academy. His martial arts would never be inferior to the martial arts sword..”
“It could be a place to recognize the talent that will become the best sword in the world in the future.…….”
“I think your expectations were excessive..”
“Whatever the outcome, I will be able to see the swordsmanship of the swordsman and the swordsman at the same time, so my eyes will be greatly improved today..”
Heirs of Geomseong and Geomjon.
For that reason alone, many spectators were interested in this dance..
Dok Go-jun, the sword dragon of the Cheongnyonghakkwan, and Taecheongsword Bae So-ok of the Cheonmuhakkwan were defeated, and some of the Shaolin divine dragons declared that they would not raise swords in the future..
Now, the only swordsmen left in Yongbongbimu are Wi Ji-cheon and Yeon-ha..
And the person who won this fight would become the only swordsman in Yongfeng fight..
“In other words, this means that this secret weapon is the position that covers the first sword of the latter period..”
People nodded with tense expressions as someone muttered..
Although the expectant gaze of so many crowds may have been burdensome, Wi Ji-cheon and Yeon-ha's gaze never separated from each other for a moment..
“If you are ready, you can start.”
“…….”
“…….”
Despite the declaration of Cheonmuhakgwanju, who smiled and stepped back, Wijicheon and Yeonhae did not move for a while..
It was at the same time that they silently looked at each other and drew their swords..
sreung.
The two swordsmen took a calm, deep breath and their new forms became blurred at the same time. They lowered their posture and rushed at each other..
Wow!!
The hair flew back violently. The two swordsmen arrived at the center of the off-stage and stabbed each other with their swords..
It was the same facial expression that greeted the other person with a smile..
Kagaga River!
It was full power from the start. The sword paths of the Mugeuk sword and the Taegeukhye sword were dizzyingly intertwined. Every time the blades collide, sparks fly wildly..
‘It's strong after all.’
‘We've improved since then.’
I remembered that only a few months had passed since we had each other's backs and fought to the death with the blood cultists..
Therefore, it was no exaggeration to say that he knew his opponent's swordsmanship better than anyone else. The two swords, who had been protecting each other in a life-or-death battle, now took advantage of each other's weak points..
Chaeng!
Wei Ji-cheon’s brow furrowed. The repulsion felt when the swords clashed was less than expected. It meant that the intention to put strong pressure did not work..
The first thing I experienced after participating in Yongbongbimu..
“Isn't that too underestimating??”
The smiling young man's eyes flashed sharply..
The characteristic of Taegeukhyegeom is that it draws endless, smooth circles. Therefore, the transition between attack and defense is as natural as water. If you couldn't break the flow, it was easy to get caught up in it..
‘That's not all.’
The temperament of a genius was added to the Shingungjeolhak of a shaman called Taegeukhyegeom. A free, bold and anomalous sword..
A deadly sword emerges from the softness at an unexpected moment. Like right now.
wickedness!
Yeonha's sword grazed his cheek, but Wei Ji-cheon did not blink. On the contrary, he boldly narrowed the gap and dug in..
It was an area of similar level to each other. From judgment to action, the entire process is extremely close to an instant. He was an opponent whom he could not achieve victory without taking losses..
“Can you look down on me?.”
“……under.”
I laughed out loud as I watched the boy boldly dig in despite the burning wound..
Only a little more than a month has passed, but for a genius, that amount of time was enough to take his sword to the next level..
Wow!
This time, Yeonha suffered a loss. The grip where the swords clashed tingled. If it were her before Dalpo, she would have completely given up the win here..
However, even at a young age, he was a genius with extraordinary qualities. As if in a stunt, he changed his grip on the sword to his left hand and blocked the attack of the martial arts sword, while at the same time launching himself into the sky..
Well done!
A little bit of silence narrowly passed through her afterimage..
After clashing so fiercely, the two stepped back and widened the distance as if they had made a promise..
“Phew-.”
My chest rose and fell greatly. It wasn't because I was tired, it was because I was excited. The hand holding the sword trembled slightly..
For the first time, Wei Ji-cheon thought that he might be defeated. Nevertheless, the smile on the boy's face grew even deeper..
eat.
A similar smile appeared on Yeonha’s lips. He let out a slightly rougher breath than the first time, and Wijicheon tilted his head at the faintly scented scent..
“if… … Have you had a drink??”
“fizzle.”
Yeonha narrowed one eye and put a finger to his lips. I meant to keep it a secret..
“Don't worry, I won't make excuses. I tend to relax when I get a little drunk..”
“……I heard that our student head teacher used to do that too..”
Wi Ji-cheon didn't care. A little bit of intoxication won't be able to shake Yeonha's sword. What if I become bolder and freer?.
At that time, Yeonha blurted out.
“At my school, everyone expected me to win the Yongbongbi dance..”
“…….”
The girl smiled mischievously. However, Wi Ji-cheon was able to sympathize with Yeon-ha's burden felt in those words..
“Until last year, no one expected that from me. Actually, I’m a bit of an untrustworthy guy..”
lazy genius.
It was a term used to describe Yeonha of Jujakhakgwan..
Compared to his talent, his desire to win was not strong, and as a warrior, he was not interested in improvement or fame..
Even after taking the Sword Saint as his teacher, his temperament did not change much..
He liked playing with the sword rather than learning it, and was busy running away when he was given difficult training. I hated being difficult.
“Honestly, if it were like before, I would have run away a long time ago. Of course, no one forced it, but these secret expectations are more burdensome..”
Yeonha changed his grip on the sword to his right hand and took a stance..
There was no other reason to reveal one's true feelings to one's rival. It was just a whim.
“Still, I won't try to run away this time. I was an unreliable student and senior for four years, but I want to help the Suzaku Academy at least once..”
The Suzaku Academy lost its spiritual support in the last battle with the Blood Cult..
The death of King Yeom, who had more meaning than the ruler of the government, shook the academy from its foundations..
But the instructors and students of Suzaku Academy did not collapse..
Rather, it served as an opportunity to unite as one, and proudly attended the Cheonmu Festival..
A strong determination was reflected in the eyes of the young man who carried their expectations..
“Same for me too.”
Wi Ji-cheon also raised his sword and aimed it at Yeon-ha..
He thought of Dok Go-jun, who fought with all he had..
It wasn't just Dok Go-jun.
Dang Soso broke his arm while trying to compete with an opponent who was stronger than him..
Even though he lost, Mok Hyeong-woo smiled and encouraged his juniors..
Namgoong-seok, who analyzed his opponent and informed himself even after losing in a competitive match..
Yu-ran, who suffered excessive internal injuries in the confrontation with Paeng Sa-hyeok, did not show it off..
The appearance of all seniors and classmates who did their best in each event was vivid..
“At first, I also had no thoughts about winning the Cheonmuje Championship. Teacher Baek Soo-ryong said it was his goal... … All I wanted to do was to return the favor and help..”
However, as he experienced many things with his seniors and classmates over the past year, winning the Cheonmu Championship became the most important goal for Wi Ji-cheon..
Wow-!
The sword spirit, filled with vivid sword energy, vibrated. Even the best experts were astonished by the incredible density of energy..
“So, I will definitely win the Yongbongbimu and celebrate with my seniors, classmates, and teachers..”
“I didn't mean to ask you to make concessions.?”
Yeonha smiled mischievously and raised his sword energy to his Songmun sword. The audience's astonishment doubled..
At that moment, the two were experiencing everything around them becoming blurry. The noise from the crowd soon disappeared completely..
“…….”
“…….”
Only each other's swords remain. The two geniuses naturally fell into a trance. And without even realizing it, we entered the gap between each other..
swag!
Hair cut by black hair was blowing in the wind. Wei Ji-cheon didn’t even blink. He turned sharply to the side, raised his sword, and slashed..
Well done!
Drops of blood formed on the blade that grazed my shoulder. If I hadn't avoided it, my throat would have been cut. I captured the moment of combustion on my retina and then lowered my posture. The sword, which gently drew the Taegeuk symbol as it rose from the bottom up, aimed at Wei Ji-cheon's solar plexus. Wijicheon's sword struck from above like a thunderbolt..
Wow!
The clashing swords fell for a moment and then met again. Every time the swords collide, fragments of sword energy fly in all directions. Dozens of silver trails left traces like a meteor's tail in the air, leaving sword marks on the non-stage floor..
At some point, the two geniuses traded swords in their own territory. The combination of natural swordsmanship, accumulated effort, intuition, and instinct created even a bizarre scene..
“What are you doing now??”
“Why do I end up swinging my sword in the air?…….”
“The swords don't collide.?”
The criminals couldn't understand. The reason why Wi Ji-cheon and Yeon-ha draw sword paths without almost clashing at some point and then quickly retrieve them midway is.
Can we even guess that the talents of two geniuses who have reached the point where they can foresee each other's sword paths are constantly modifying their sword paths by first clashing swords in the realm of imagination?.
Because of this, it looks like they are just wasting their energy in the air, but in reality, they are both planning to conserve their stamina and energy and win the match in one go..
Only a few experts and students who could sympathize with their talent noticed the situation and held their tongues..
“……You're crazy.”
Heon Won-gang clicked his tongue and wiped his goosebump-covered arms, while on the other side, Paeng Sa-hyeok glared at the two swordsmen with his arms crossed..
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Some observed the movements of the two swordsmen with transparent eyes and quietly recited a Buddhist chant..
While instructors from each school looked worried and prepared to intervene at any time..
“Haha, hahaha……!”
In the demilitarized world that was becoming increasingly quiet, only the head of Cheonmuhak was bursting into laughter with joy..
