Chapter 308

[Episode 99: Youngest Leader Candidate (6)]

It was a shock itself.

No one expected a situation like this at all.

“......Unbelievable.”

“I can’t believe Sogeomseon’s inaction was to

this extent...” Although I had heard about the reputation of Sogeomseon Sounhwi, there were some parts of me that were skeptical.

This was because he showed tremendous growth in a short period of time for a young swordsman who had only just left the terms and conditions.

So, because he had doubts inside, the vice leader, Yeolwangpae, did not dissuade Jingyun.

Jingyun of the Ten Kings was said to be inferior to Musangdo, but he was a superman who had maintained his position as one of the Eight Great Masters for a long time.

In terms of age and experience, he was more than capable of overpowering So Woon-hwi.

But when I actually opened the lid, the results were truly shocking.

‘It's only one trick....'

Master Li Sima Zhongxian couldn't believe it even after seeing it with his own eyes.

Seven months ago, I watched the match in person at the guesthouse.

It ended in a heartwarming draw, but as a result, So Woon-hwi lost to Jin Gyun in terms of his strength.

‘You mean you hid your exploits back then?'

Even if there was a miracle or skill, it would not be possible for one’s capabilities to increase so rapidly.

Like Sima Zhongxian, there was one person who could not hold his tongue over Su Yunhui's incredible inaction, and it was Hyeongsan Ilgeom Jo Cheongun.

‘.......It's ridiculous growth.'

He also competed with So Unhwi.

At Ikyang Soga.

However, So Woon-hwi at that time certainly had the ability to be counted among the later indexes, but not to this level.

Nowadays, his status has grown to the point where it can be said that the difference between him is heaven and earth.

‘Hojongdae Daehyup. ‘What on earth did you grow?'

This is not the level of Cheongchuleoram.

It was a monster itself.

Jo Cheong-un was like that, but North Yeongdoseong Kwak Hyeong-jik, who was secretly curious about his advanced inaction, was equally surprised.

‘.......under.'

It was just shocking.

I last saw him when he was possessed by the Blood Demon Sword and went on a rampage.

I was curious about what his capabilities would be without the help of the magic sword, but this was beyond my imagination.

‘.......The choice was right.'

When I received the offer from So Unhwi, I gave it a lot of thought.

Was it right to follow him?

However, after confirming this monstrous ability, I became convinced that my choice was not wrong.

Kwak Hyeong-jik looked at the other elders.

Each of them had different expressions, but they were all so surprised that they could not take their eyes off So Woon-hwi.

Now no one will be able to doubt So Woon-hwi’s inaction.

As someone who knew his identity, he thought it was funny, but he thought that there would be no one better suited to deal with the blood demon than Sounhwi.

‘The youngest leader in the history of the Martial Arts Federation could be born.'

That is, if only Baek Hyang-muk, the former leader of the Infinite First Sword, can be defeated.

However, So Unhwi, who had pushed him to the lower floor of the building, kept looking at the hole in the floor.

Could it be that he was still unharmed after receiving that huge blow just now?

It was right then.

-Kurrrrrrr!

“Anit?”

“The building is shaking.”

The headquarters building shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

The shaking gradually became stronger, and soon a roaring sound was heard from below.

At that moment, the floor cracked and a sharp, blazing red flame erupted.

* * *

-Roar!

I used footwork to avoid the rising flames.

The Jingyun of the Ten Kings' Pack seemed to be quite sturdy, but I didn't expect it to be able to withstand a strike from the Chilseong's power.

The flame-covered flag broke the ceiling of the main building and spread outward.

Those nearby may have seen it.

At that time, I felt hot heat from below.

-Pot!

From the hole that had been opened, the fungi of the ten kings' swords holding the swords of blazing flames jumped out.

His pipa-shaped paeyeoldo was red with flames.

“Heat fire magic!”

“This is the Tao of the Four Kings’ Demonic Art!”

Several elders recognized this and shouted.

He must have been quite excited to pull out his secret trick so quickly.

This is clearly visible when you look at Jingyun’s highly distorted face.

-Looks like you've mastered left handedness as well.

It seem to be like that.

Jinkyun’s voice seems much more comfortable.

Even before he admitted defeat, he hesitated due to pride.

As soon as he let go of what he was holding, his face looked much better.

The voice of Namcheoncheolgeom came into my head.

-I remember what the previous owner said. It was said that even a hundred people would become Buddha immediately if they let go of the sword in their hands.

There is some truth to what he says.

Jingyun's face was similar to the first time he met him, even though he had let go of his obsession with power and competitiveness.

I said with a grin.

“Don’t say that. “You are still active enough.”

Jinkyun snorted at my words and said.

“Who said they would retire?”

“ah?”

“Nobu has a temper that he can never live without. Now that I have a new goal, I will sharpen my skills further. Be prepared.”

“......Junior. “I must always be on edge.”

It looks like he hasn't given up on his desire to win.

It is better than not being able to discern between personal interests and interests due to the desire for power.

Jingyun of the Ten Kings turned his head and shouted to the elders.

“This deputy leader will resign from his position as leader candidate from now on. And I will support Sogeomseon as the new leader candidate. “Anyone who has a difference of opinion, speak up.”

To Jin Gyun's words, the elders of the vice-lord's faction made no reply.

Even if my vice-lord gave up, I don't think I could bear to admit it since he put me down like that.

If things went this way, the former leader might have thought it was better.

But it seems not everyone is like that.

Someone grabbed me and said,

“The Hangsan faction will support Sogeomseon as the leader candidate.”

It was a Yangmyeong incident for the Hangsan faction.

Her words revealed her discomfort with Amifa's clove situation.

“Yangming incident!”

“Is there something wrong? “Clove incident?”

“No matter how good his inaction is, if the young leader, who lacks experience, cannot overcome his fierce spirit, who will take care of it....”

At that time, someone cut off her words.

“If there is anything lacking in terms of experience or experience, our elders can help make up for it. “It is not the Presbytery or Military Department that exists for that purpose.”

“Elder Nangung!”

He was Namgung Mujin of the Namgung family.

Ignoring her, Namgung Mujin grabbed me and said,

“We, the Namgung family, will support you as a leader candidate.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the elders took control of me one by one and said,

“Jinju Eon will also support you as a leader candidate.”

“The Sichuan Party also supports Sogeomseon as the leading candidate.”

As they stepped forward one by one, the expressions on the faces of the elders who opposed me hardened.

Nevertheless, the elders’ support did not stop.

“The Hyeongsan faction will also support Sogeomseon as the leading candidate.”

“If our Jang Moon-in were here, he would have supported the Sogeomseon Grand Hyeop. Therefore, we, the forward faction, also support Sogeomseon Daehyup as the leading candidate.”

“The Volcanic Sect wants the former leader to come back, but Bio acknowledges that Sogeomseon is not lacking as a leader candidate.”

The last person to decorate was Cho Seong-won, who was in charge of the Northern Yeongdoseong Castle and the Ark of Openness.

Since they were my people in the first place, they did not bother to show off, but they took advantage of this atmosphere and took full control of me, declaring that they supported me.

As a result, more than half of the elders recognized me as the leading candidate.

“Tsk.”

“How...

even if the remaining elders raised objections, there was no longer any reason to stop me.

Vice-lord Jin Gyun looked at Sima Zhongxian, the commander of the Li army, who could be said to be his strategist.

He also sighed, but nodded as if acknowledging this result.

...Does the Commander-in-Chief agree?

Can you say this?

Is there any way that Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon could object?

It's moving in my grasp.

Accordingly, Vice Lord Jingyun officially announced it.

“Then it is decided. With this, Sounhwi, the Sogeomseon, has been decided as a candidate for the upcoming leader election, just like Baek Hyang-muk, the Infinite First Sword.”

“Follow the decision!”

The elders who expressed their support for me responded unanimously.

It didn't matter whether the rest answered or not.

I was wondering if things were going to work out like this, but someone's voice suddenly rang in my ears.

[Look here. Sogeomseon.]

He was none other than Namgung Mujin of the Namgung family.

As I looked at him puzzled, he cleared his throat, paused, and then asked me something.

[Hmm. There is no particular intention. Is there a marriage decided by the family?]

‘!?'
