The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 136
EP.136 Ten Chiefs - Blue Dragon Secretariat (6)
* * *
A week later, the full-fledged Blue Dragon Secretariat preliminaries began..
A non-stage where Kangho's boiling blood clashes.
There was a man who wanted to climb there today, and it was Jinwon Danju Gyeondong..
He is the grandson of the cabinet lord, Haepa-geom Gyeon-gwol, and is also famous as a vicious rascal of the Maeng. He stood in front of the members with a determination on his face that was not usually seen before and spoke..
“I'll be back!”
Gyeondong’s goatee stood up red..
The members' expressions may not have been good since they were the only members of the group and were immersed in training the entire time instead of participating in the preparations for the secretariat meeting, but they just cheered for Gyeondong with smiles on their faces..
“Please come back!”
“Danju! I believe this time!”
“That's right! Wherever I go, please let me proudly say that I am a member of the Jinwondan.!”
Since the day of the meeting with Mok-ri-won, Gyeon-dong has definitely changed..
Instead of using scheming tactics, he began to be kind to others according to his natural nature, and these members were the ones who saw it up close, so how can you blame him?.
Apart from that, it was like that..
Gyeondong clearly worked his hardest during the group's training to be an example for the members, and he proved it on the first day of the group dance..
Gyeondong’s nickname was no longer a blunt sword..
“Donggangbulgoe (銅姜不壞) Gyeondong!”
“An indomitable man who never falls!”
“now! Everyone says you don't have to praise me too much.!”
Gyeondong grinned..
The new nickname is Donggangbulgoe (銅姜不壞)).
It was a nickname given to him for his ability to stand and persevere until the end with his unique tenacity no matter what enemy he encountered..
The reason it was a doujinshi was simple..
This is because it is shameless to be considered gold and the force is too insignificant to be considered silver..
Of course, Gyeondong didn’t mind..
Whatever it was, I thought it was better than the nickname of that dull sword..
Gyeondong repeated his simple goal to himself..
‘You must enter the round of 64 of the preliminary round.!’
The goal is the round of 64 of the preliminary round..
Considering that this year's Blue Dragon Secret Service Association had only 100 participants, it was a goal set because the limit to reaching the top level was that much..
After all, if it's the round of 16 of such a big tournament, wouldn't you be able to show up somewhere?.
“Then please come back!”
The members shouted for the sky to go away..
Gyeondong made a sad face..
‘I can't believe you support me this much!’
Even though I'm touched, I can't be this moved..
The members who always say that even ugly people like themselves should be sober are even endearing..
“If I win today, I'll definitely have a drink.!”
“Wow!!!”
Gyeondong turned around nicely and climbed onto the off-stage..
And Gyeondong’s dream was frustrated..
“Lord Jinwondan, please take care of me..”
Today's match-up opponent has now been revealed..
He was a great disciple of the Taesanbukdu Shaolin, a martial arts dynasty in the central plains who taught the Geumgang Buddha ingot, which cannot be done with the Donggang Buddha ingot, as a martial art of the sect..
Gyeondong looked back at the members with tears at the corners of his eyes..
The members just had an appetite..
“Open (open))!”
The dance has begun.
Wow!
Gyeondong was knocked out in one hit..
Donggang Bulgoe's dream was thwarted precisely in the 256th round of the preliminary round..
Even 64 degrees was too much for him..

That evening, the restaurant in Yongbongdan Hall.
Today again, the members sitting around started talking about their daytime routine..
“Jinwondanju's complexion is getting more and more pale. You seemed to get along very well with the members.!”
“hmm? Looks like Mokau likes that a lot.!”
“I like everyone who works hard!”
“Oh, I've definitely seen Danju Jin Wen training often..”
Jegalsan responded to Mok Riwon's grinning words..
Namgung Jincheon snorted..
“Even so, it is not enough as a first-class, sober drinker..”
“That's why I have no friends.”
Namgung Jincheon’s eyes widened and he looked towards Zhuge Mountain..
Zhuge Mountain looked the other way..
Danghwaseo sighed and stopped the two people..
“It's not that kind of place.”
The two people's mouths fell silent at one sad word..
Ilwoon giggled and said.
“Anyway, thank you for congratulating me. But you don't have to do this every time.”
“I do it because I like it, so why not?.”
“But it can't be like this every day, right??”
It was a disguised humility, but the intention was that.
He said that he will continue to win, so if he celebrates like this, he will only receive congratulations every day..
Everyone except Mok Ri-won and Namgung Jincheon understood the meaning..
In the meantime, Hyewoon said.
“You trained very hard.?”
He had a sallow face, but to Ilwoon, it seemed like there was a sense of betrayal embedded in it..
Ilwoon smiled as if he was having trouble..
“Still, even though he is a great disciple, he can’t do anything roughly..”
“It's an insult to a great disciple to go out and have fun without training.?”
“Well, I'm not saying that.….”
“Baekbong, stop it. And isn't that correct??”
This time too, Danghwaseo was stopped..
No, it was more like a scolding than stopping him..
Hye-un opened her mouth wide, wondering what was so unfair, and gave Dang Hwa-seo a look of resentment, but she didn't even flinch..
Anyway, these are people who have no time to be bored, Ilwoon thought and got up from his seat..
“hmm? Go already?”
“Yes, I'm going to do a little meditation to prepare for the next meeting..”
“Oh, cheer up.!”
“Then rest in peace..”
Ilwoon put his hands together and turned around..
The hallway I walked out of the restaurant was quiet..
After a while, we came to the floor where Mok Ri-won often sat, and as he said, it was a very atmospheric place..
There were wild flowers and a pond in a dark garden..
The moonlight was reflected in the pond, shining dimly, and for some reason, the pale light made my heart flutter..
-I really like training under the moonlight..
Should I try it here today?.
Ilwoon sat down, thinking that this atmosphere may have helped Mokriwon's rapid growth..
I looked at the scenery for a while and then closed my eyes..
What comes to mind is not fire or martial arts, but the remaining preliminary schedule..
‘32the river ends.’
As a total of 28 players must be selected, the match will only proceed until the round of 32..
There, the four people with the lowest level are eliminated, but Ilwoon was at the top among those who participated in the preliminaries, so he had no worries..
Almost confirmed to advance to finals.
The only variable is meeting Seonryong Hyeongong before the round of 32..
Are you worried?.
Ilwoon asked himself and soon answered.
‘It would be better to meet earlier..’
What was the reason for such a complicated preliminary round?.
It was to prove myself..
It was a sense of crisis and failure that we could not afford to fall behind..
And Seonryong was a man who stood as a wall, at least for Ilwoon..
Looking back, that's why.
During the last few years of Yongbong Branch, there was never a single case where Hyeongong was comfortably defeated..
In most matches, Hyeon-gong withdrew before he could properly demonstrate his strength, and this year, when he finally got his due, he lost miserably..
‘resentful.’
I can do better.
There's a lot I haven't shown you yet.
The more I think about it, the more my emotions boil over..
Ilwoon clenched his fists and calmed down his rising emotions..
“Amitabha Buddha.”
practice fireworks.
Stop thinking and continue.
Before I knew it, my hands were joined together..
Suppress emotions and blood and establish immobility.
And so, the fortune-telling breakfast begins..
Saaaa―
Golden energy waves surrounded the clouds clearly..
If there were a form in which the sound of a bell spreads, it would be like this..
‘Manager.’
Buddha Wonmyeong, former leader and current head of Shaolin.
I reflect on his words..
-Empty it. That is why Shaolin is strong. Only by emptying out the dregs of emotion and dirt-stained greed can there be room for emptiness. Just empty it out and empty it out to achieve enlightenment..
Ilwoon narrowed his eyebrows..
‘It's not easy. I don't want to empty anything.’
The competitive spirit, the stubbornness, the anger.
I was so scared that if I let this go, I would lose everything I truly have as a warrior..
‘The midfield is too wide. It's so intense. It's so far away.’
If you cross Hyeonggong, there is Namgung Jincheon..
Beyond that, there was Mokriwon, and there were four castles and six kings..
Was it just them?.
Troubled times have arrived.
Demons have appeared, and the black swordsmen are still crouching in the southern land..
How can you punish them if you give up this greed?.
This was a terrible contradiction.
Although Shaolin is called the center of Baekdo martial arts, he gives up the desires he should have as a warrior due to his identity as a Buddhist..
In a land of self-respect, we ignore what is necessary to be strong..
Nevertheless, when I heard the name Taishan Bukdu, only one thought came to mind..
‘am i missing something?’
Feeling like you're missing something.
The idea that there is a way to acquire all the qualities of a warrior and a Buddhist, but that one does not know it..
The worries that had always stuck to me like a tag since appearing in Kangho's Martial Arts continued once again, disturbing my thoughts..
Sooooo―
The air waves are shaking.

The next day dawned.
Ilwoon stayed up all night worrying and couldn't calm down as much as he wanted..
No, it was worse than usual..
On days like this, I hope that someone who is a little easier to deal with will come forward, but the Buddha seemed to think that whipping was necessary..
“It's classy.”
The person who came up as a secretary was a person named Gosang of Yangmuhakgwan..
A name that Danghwaseo has heard of before..
He's definitely the top student in this class.
He was truly a man of great majesty..
“It's Ilun.”
Ilwoon put his hands together.
The referee raised his hand..
“Open (open))!”
It's a pity that we can't even exchange long greetings due to being out of turn..
Ilwoon clenched his fists as Gosang took out his godfather..
A golden energy wave was overlaid on the lumpy and strong fist..
Where should I aim?.
Since this is a man who uses a loan, he will definitely focus on big attacks..
The most reasonable inference is that slashing and swinging.
It would have been good to deflect the attack right away and dig in..
…The moment the thought came to mind, Gosang burst out with a gray energy wave and rushed towards me..
attack from the bottom up.
guess was wrong.
Ilwoon was not embarrassed and swung his fist..
Ugh―!
The fist hits the face of the ax and the trajectory is distorted..
Il-woon stepped on him and went into him, but Go-sang seemed to be used to this type of situation and immediately stepped back..
‘You thought it was too easy.’
Well, if you're someone who deals with loans, you've probably encountered many opponents who are faster than you..
It was natural that there was at least some measure..
‘but.’
You won't be the same as them..
Ilwoon exploded with energy and threw his fist again..
Gosang tried to block his fist with the face of the axe..
I didn’t bother to avoid it..
Whoa whoa―!
I hit the noodles straight..
Without stopping, I stretched out my other fist..
Whoa whoa―!
Gosang takes a step back..
It was pressed down with air force..
It wasn't the way Ilwoon enjoyed it..
This is because there have not been many cases in which he was superior to his opponent in terms of attack power..
There is one reason to use this method now..
Since joining the group, there have been a lot of encounters with elixirs and inner circles, so attacks like this have become possible..
There was no reason not to use it..
Punches rained down one after another, and Gosang could not do anything else and just blocked them..
As this situation continued for a while, Gosang's ax cracked..
“Inhale!”
Gosang's eyes widened, but Ilwoon didn't care..
Whoa whoa―!
The regime that carried all its power as is.
The fist that broke the ax got lodged in Gosang’s solar plexus..
“Ouch…!”
Gosang’s body shook greatly..
And I knelt down.
Ilwoon withdrew his fist, took a breath, and put his hands together..
“It was a good match.”
won.
