Chapter 230

Episode 230 The talented person who walked out of

the Tower of Test (2) magic circle was someone Baek Woo-jin was familiar with.

“Red softening.”

The only female warrior was Jeok Yeon-hwa, who was tall for a woman, had short-tied hair, a thin uniform, and red gauntlets.

“We’ll meet here.”

Unlike Baek Woo-jin, who was quite surprised, Jeok Yeon-hwa’s eyes were calm.

“I saw a message saying I passed the test the first time. congratulation.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa approached Baek Woo-jin at a slow pace.

“I just passed the first test quickly. “There’s nothing to celebrate.”

Baek Woo-jin talked to Jeok Yeon-hwa and noticed that she had changed.

‘Hmm...’

Jeok Yeon-hwa’s eyes always trembled when she looked at herself. But it was different now. Her eyes were calm and sunken.

In addition, her strength had become stronger than before.

-It looks like he accepted it.

‘Accepted?’

-I accepted that I couldn’t keep up with your military power and decided to let you go first.

The darkness looked at the red lotus flower with a small exclamation.

-There is a saying that if you are a genius you cannot catch up with, do not deal with him and let him go first. That guy seems to have accepted that and reached a new level.

It is advice to realize that geniuses and criminals take different strides and follow their own path, but it is not common for people to truly accept it.

It is especially not easy for someone like Jeok Yeon-hwa, who comes from a great family and has outstanding abilities, to accept that advice. It was a spirit of admiration.

-Of course, it doesn’t seem like that’s all...

Darkness looked at Baek Woo-jin with a grumpy voice.

‘I know what you mean.’

Baek Woo-jin nodded. As Heukam said, Jeok Yeon-hwa seemed to have overcome the feelings about herself that were deeply embedded in her heart.

“It seems you have gained enlightenment. congratulations.”

“It’s thanks to you.”

A smile spread across Jeok Yeon-hwa’s lips. What I just said wasn’t just a courtesy. I was sincerely grateful to Baek Woo-jin.

Because he was born into the strongest family, a powerful family, he learned martial arts like breathing from a young age.

There was no serious reason as to why he needed to become stronger. I just thought that since I was a direct descendant of the enemy family, I had to become stronger.

‘I thought I was the best.’

He thought he was the best because he had outstanding talent and had mastered martial arts that could be considered the strongest. I didn’t have the slightest interest in others.

That was when I first met Baek Woo-jin.

Baek Woo-jin at that time was clearly weaker than himself. But he confidently bet and beat himself.

‘That was my first loss.’

It was my first loss to someone of the same age. From the moment I returned home, I thought of Baek Woo-jin’s confident smile endlessly.

From then on, in order to defeat Baek Woo-jin, I followed him around, gathered information, and figured out what kind of person he was.

‘But I didn’t win again.’

He once again challenged Baek Woo-jin, but instead of winning, he owed his life.

Since then, along with the will to keep up with Baek Woo-jin’s military power, the liking for him has also grown.

I didn’t want to admit my crush on Baek Woo-jin, but I realized it for sure when he returned from the front and crossed swords with the head of the Baek family.

That I can’t keep up with Baek Woo-jin and that my feelings for him have grown to the point where I can no longer hide them.

‘That feeling was important.’

A bright smile bloomed like a red lotus flower in full bloom.

After accepting those two things, the walls of martial arts that had been blocking me collapsed and I was able to step into a new realm.

It was really thanks to Baek Woo-jin that he reached his current level. If it weren’t for him, I would have lived like a frog in a well, thinking that I was the best.

“It’s because of me...”

Baek Woo-jin shook his head and smiled as if he didn’t know.

Ugh!

When the conversation between the two stopped, the contents of the test began to appear on the wall on the left for Baek Woo-jin and on the right for Jeok Yeon-hwa.

< The second test is sparring. >

< The test ends when the opponent admits defeat or runs out of breath. >

The content of the test was sparring, as Baek Woo-jin expected.

“It’s a sparring match, after all.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa took a step back and took a stance. Even with Baek Woo-jin in front of him, he didn’t seem to have any intention of backing down.

“Are you going to fight?”

“Sure.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa nodded and raised her fist.

“It’s a sparring match, but please don’t ignore it and do it properly.”

“don’t worry. “Because I don’t have any thoughts about that.”

“thank you.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa lowered her head and raised all the auras that were shining in her heart. Her full aura wrapped around her red gauntlets.

< The second test sparring begins. > As

soon as the sparring start message appeared, Jeok Yeon-hwa kicked the ground. He stepped to the left of Baek Woo-jin, taking quick steps that made him look like he had two bodies, and stretched out his fist.

Ugh!

The moment the power fired by Jeok Yeon-hwa shot out like a meteor, Baek Woo-jin gently turned his body.

Boom!

Baek Woo-jin cut off Jeok Yeon-hwa’s fist with a thin strike of the Armin Sword.

“Ugh!”

A moan escaped Jeok Yeon-hwa’s lips. The power contained in Baek Woo-jin’s sword was so strong that not only his fist but his entire body lost balance.

Whoa!

Baek Woo-jin did not lose sight of Jeok Yeon-hwa’s broken balance and struck her in the abdomen with his left fist.

“Wow!”

The red lotus flower bounced roughly against the wall. He immediately got up, but Baek Woo-jin’s sword was already aimed at his neck.

Even if Jeok Yeon-hwa awakened and reached a new level, Baek Woo-jin’s level was beyond what she could reach.

“Haha, I lost.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa gave up a counterattack and lowered her hands, admitting defeat. A white light started flashing in the room.

“You really don’t care at all.”

“I told you not to watch it.”

Baek Woo-jin withdrew his sword and held out his hand.

“And if you had seen it, you would have been angry.”

-First it was fire and then it was ice! These are all things that have no effect on you!

The complaints of darkness were natural, so it was the same. The test was difficult, but none of it had any effect on Baek Woo-jin. In fact, it was almost the same as taking a test using cheat keys.

“So this time it’s sparring.”

-And there will be someone who can’t be compared to you, so what does that mean?...

“Well, that’s true.”

Baek Woo-jin chuckled. To be honest, as Dark said, the test was easy. It seemed like there wouldn’t be any difficult opponents unless I met Gwangryong.

“The light dragon is deliberately slow...”

While Baek Woo-jin was thinking about the light dragon, a white light exploded from the magic circle and his sparring opponent appeared.

“We finally met.”

A rough man’s voice was heard from inside the magic circle. He grinned and raised the golden baton from his left shoulder to his right shoulder.

“Honwon.”

As soon as Baek Woo-jin saw the golden pole, he immediately knew who the opponent was. It was Honwon, the cheeky monkey I met at Daeyeonmun.

“You also entered the tower.”

“It’s because of you.”

Honwon came down from the magic circle with a bone-crushing voice.

“It’s because of me?”

“I heard that you entered the tower, so I followed you in. To repay the debt from back then!”

Honwon smiled, showing his teeth. I meant it. The reason he entered this tower was because of the slight possibility that he might meet Baek Woo-jin.

“Are you going to repay the debt from back then? “It must be difficult.”

“It’s hard?”

Hon Won chuckled and aimed the baton on his shoulder at Baek Woo Jin.

Cheeeeee!

A tangible aura suddenly popped out from the angled golden female pole. It was strong. It was also a bar steel that was more difficult to make than a sword steel.

“Is it strong energy?...”

“Don’t think that only you can use strong energy.”

Honwon swung the stick surrounded by strong energy. Intense wind pressure shook the entire test site.

-As you said, a genius is a genius.

‘Talent is talent, but there is also something else.’

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up as he examined Hon Won’s whole body. He wore an unprecedented combination of ancient gold and purple armor and blue accessories on his wrists and head.

A serious surge of mana was felt from the items. Hon Yuan was targeting him using not only training but also top-quality items.

“It was my first time.”

“what?”

“You were the first person to humiliate me like that. “I will definitely pay you back.”

“try.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled leisurely and stretched his left foot forward.

“If I can.”

“Ugh...”

Honwon gritted his teeth. It’s that expression. From the day I was defeated by that guy until now, that expression has appeared in my dreams every day.

‘It ends today.’

I digested the teacher’s hell training, took the elixirs I had been storing up without taking them, and even wore the items in the lecture report.

All of this was because of Baek Woo-jin. I even threw away my noble pride in order to defeat that dirty and shameful bastard.

“Cooperation? It’s a very damn title. “I will trample you so thoroughly that you will never be able to say such a title again!”

Not only has he mastered strong techniques, but his self-immolation has also reached a new level. There was no chance of losing to Baek Woo-jin.

Coo!

Hon Yuan planted his pole on the ground and put his hands together.

Wooooow!

Hon Yuan’s appearance became blurry and his body expanded into two. He used his alter ego to give his all from the beginning.

“I won’t give you any time.”

Last time, I looked down on Baek Woo-jin and got punished. Don’t make the same mistake. It was full power from the beginning.

Cheeeeee!

A strong energy surged not only from Honwon, but also from the Yeoui Peak of the clone he had created.

“A thousand-point strike!”

“Celestial spirit wave lightning strike!”

The movements of the two spirits were different.

Coo coo coo coo!

Honwon on the left struck down a huge pole from the sky, and Honwon on the right struck the pole that protruded like a spear blade from below.

Quaaaaa!

A powerful wave of energy filled with deadly force shook the entire test room.

-It’s the same as yours.

“That’s right.”

Baek Woo-jin chuckled as he looked at the seasons used by Hon-won. This guy was just like his previous self. My thoughts were blocked by the power of the river.

“Just because you’re strong doesn’t mean you’re invincible.”

Baek Woo-jin lowered his posture. Just before the two rods that separate heaven and earth interlocked like teeth, he pulled out his sword.

Cheeeeee!

The black king bullet stretched out with a destructive energy and encountered two Yeoui peaks.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

A shock wave that would turn the world upside down swept through my son-in-law. The walls and floor of the testing area were torn to shreds.

“I won!”

Honwon grinned and laughed. Baek Woo-jin’s strength was much smaller and thinner than his own. Even a 3-year-old child could tell who was the winner.

“uh...?”

Honwon’s eyes, who had no doubts about his victory, widened as if they were about to pop out. The small force wrapped around Baek Woo-jin’s sword was cutting through his own force.

“What!”

Even though he poured out all his heart’s aura, he could not overcome Baek Woo-jin’s strength. In front of that guy’s strength, my strength dispersed like fog.

‘I can’t believe that...’

I remembered what I heard from my teacher. About the fact that once you reach the intermediate level of the Gangki Jingyeong, you can cut down low-level Gangki by putting your will into the Ganggi.

“That’s ridiculous! “How can you already be at intermediate level?”

“I’m sorry, but...”

Baek Woo-jin chuckled and fiercely drew the sword.

“I will never lose to someone I have beaten once.”

The sound of the sky being torn apart enveloped the entire space. Hunyuan’s strength melted and his female sword was split in half.
