Chapter 231

Episode 231 Tower of Test (3)

The sword strike of Black King Tan, clad in strong flag, was not enough to cut through Yeouibong and even cut down Honwon’s clone on the left.

“Keuheook!”

Honwon hurriedly retreated, coughing up blood. His eyes were wide open in astonishment and shock.

“Oh, how...”

It’s something I’ve never heard or seen of a 20-year-old reaching the intermediate level of Kang Ki-ji-gyeong. It was like something out of a novel, not reality.

“How long, what how?”

Baek Woo-jin shook off the dark sword and approached Honwon.

“The martial arts talent you are confident in is weaker than my sword.”

“Ugh...”

Honwon gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand for the broken female baton. Yeouibong was sucked into Honwon’s hand as if it were attached to a string.

“It’s false! I can not believe it!”

When Honwon attached the broken pole, the Yeouibong returned to its original state. As expected, it was an unusual item as the length was extended and the broken parts were reattached.

“You have to experience bad things twice to understand them.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and snapped his fingers.

“Shut up!”

Hon Won could not resist the provocation and rushed towards Baek Woo-jin. There was no more space in his eyes. It was deeply colored with distrust and anger.

Whoa!

Hon Won appeared from the left like a flash of lightning and struck Baek Woo-jin’s head with his baton. The number of falling Yeouibong increased to six, as if self-immolation had been used.

“I can do that too.”

Baek Woo-jin turned his body and raised his arm sword diagonally. The dark sword soared upward, creating a black shadow of a sword. It was a sword performance created by the characteristic swordsman.

Cheeeeee!

Yeo Eui-bong’s alter ego and the shadow of the sword met each other. Yeo Uibong’s clones disappeared like candles, but Geomyoung remained in the same place.

“Ugh!”

“Where are you going?”

When Hon Won was about to take a step back with a puzzled expression, Baek Woo-jin’s low voice came from behind him.

“Huh!”

I panicked and tried to change direction, but it was already too late.

Whoops!

A strong shock exploded on the back of Hon Yuan’s head. He couldn’t even scream and fell face down on the hard floor.

“I didn’t like that rude face and tone of voice from the first time I saw him.”

Baek Woo-jin grinned as he felt the taste of his hand hitting the back of Hon-won’s head. I wanted to stab this guy in the back ever since I met him at Daeyeonmun, but the situation was not conducive.

“After all, it tastes like this.”

Perhaps because the wait was long, the sensation of hitting the back of Hon Won’s head felt much cooler than usual.

“Ugh!”

Honwon grabbed the back of his head, where blood was flowing, and took a step back. He growled like an animal, glared at Baek Woo-jin, and put his hand in his arms.

Crack.

What Honwon took out of his arms was a golden herb. He put the medicine in his mouth without hesitation and chewed it.

Quaaaaa!

Hon Yuan began to tremble all over like a sick person. With that trembling, Hon Yuan’s aura exploded like the sun.

“die!”

A huge river arose at Yeouibong Peak, where Honwon was swirling like a windmill. Baek Woo-jin was hit with a much larger Yeoui-bong than the first one, as if it were Jecheon Daeseong’s Yeoui-bong.

Coo coo coo coo!

Yeouibong contained not only the techniques of rivers, but also the techniques of rotation and pleasure transformation. It is the season of Pacheon Yeoui of Honwonsinju.

“I made a mistake.”

“It’s already late!”

“No, not me, but you.”

Baek Woo-jin raised his sword while enduring the pressure of the Pacheon Yeo-ui-gyeok, which felt like a celestial general slamming down a baton.

Cheeeeee!

The moment Pacheon Yeouigeok came in front of me, a pure white light burst out from the dark sword. It was the activation of Gwangho Island as a counterattacking sword that shattered the opponent’s spirit.

Sigh!

The blade of Gwangho Island, full of its will, broke the trajectory of the Pacheon Yeogeuk, which it had only seen twice, and roughly cut into the chest of Hon Won, who was hiding behind the baton.

“Hehehe!”

Honwon bounced off the wall and spewed out black blood.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

... A bloody amount of blood poured out from his chest.

“You bastard....”

“You were the first to show your will to live.”

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes were cold as he aimed his sword at Hon Won’s neck. Honwon was the first to show his will to kill his opponent. I didn’t feel any sympathy.

“Even if I lose, you’re going to die here anyway.”

“what?”

“There are dragons and dragons in this tower. “You can’t... beat him.”

Honwon chuckled and continued speaking.

“That person is the embodiment of nothingness in the Great Yeonmun. It’s absolutely impossible considering my age and level of power...”

“That’s something you have to try to find out.”

Baek Woo-jin made a sad expression. As Hon Won said, you may be defeated by a light dragon, but you won’t know until you try. There was no need to think about losing already.

“Ah...”

Hon Won raised his head and looked into Baek Woo-jin’s eyes. When I looked into those eyes, I could tell the difference between Baek Woo-jin and myself.

‘Is that it?...’

He accepted that the difference in power between him and Gwangryong was simply an age difference. I thought I could catch up as I got older, so I didn’t even try.

But Baek Woo-jin was different. He was saying he would fight as if it didn’t matter.

‘Now that I think about it, even back then...’

If I had told him to invade Shingeombaekga to save his subordinates, he would never have gone. Even back then, Baek Woo-jin was different from himself.

The reason why the difference in military power, which was similar when fighting at Daeyeonmun, became so different was the difference in will and tenacity.

“That’s right. You were that kind of guy... “My I...”

Hon Won couldn’t finish his sentence and breathed out with a sneer on his face. The ridicule was not at Baek Woo-jin but at himself.

-I think he’s completely mistaken about something.

“what?”

-This monkey seems to think very highly of you. You’re just a lucky swordsman.

“Ha, you really are...”

Baek Woo-jin sighed and entered the light that appeared in the center of the room.

“Continuous sparring?”

Baek Woo-jin frowned. The place where the light disappeared and appeared was the same as the sixth room. The seventh test site was also for sparring.

“How on earth are tests decided?”

From what I heard in my past life, there were a lot of tests involving the four major attributes and trap barriers, but now I had more sparring.

Chiiing!

Along with Baek Woo-jin’s hand gesture, Ignis fired a scary shot.

Quaaaaa!

The flames of the apocalypse spread out through the passage in concentric circles.

Grrrr!

The flying insects behind him flew toward Baek Woo-jin, but they could not avoid Ignis’ flames. Bright red flames melted the insects that covered the entire passage.

Whoa!

As the poisonous insects died, the energy of death began to spread throughout the passage. The venom of poisonous insects leaves a terrible poison when exposed to fire.

The miasma was so strong that an ordinary person would lose their breath as soon as they entered the passage, and even a capable person would not be able to withstand it for a few seconds.

-Normally, I can’t think about this, but....

“I’m different.”

To Baek Woo-jin, poison did not mean much. Although his basic physical strength was high, it was because his poisonous stamina blocked all poisons.

“Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuujin...”

Baek Woo-jin took a deep breath as if he was boasting and walked down the passage of miasma.

-Oh, I’m so angry.

Darkness sighed in anger.

-What is this guy really doing?

As its name suggests, this Tower of Tests tests the abilities of those who enter.

The first test tested observation, resistance to fast movement speed, and judgment.

This ninth test was a test of resistance to poison or the endurance to withstand poisonous insects covering the entire body.

However, Baek Woo-jin broke the test at will, contrary to the tester’s intentions.

Now I understand why Baek Woo-jin keeps having sparring exams. Since you gave shit to the test taker, there is no test for this guy.

“Just accept it. “You’re used to it now.”

Baek Woo-jin walked down the aisle, tapping the darkness. As expected, the poison had no effect.

“It’s longer than I thought.”

The length of the passage was about 100m. If I hadn’t gone this way, it would have taken several hours.

-But if you summon snow ice and freeze everything, you don’t have to worry about poison.

“just wondering.”

-perhaps?

“By absorbing the miasma here, your poison resistance or something else may increase.”

-You’re talking nonsense again. What happens when you absorb poison? Do you think the world will go the way you want it to? Really you...

Ding!

[Poison resistance has increased significantly.]

[The vicious poison has been absorbed into mana. Mana ability has increased.]

It was a message that poison resistance and mana had increased by drinking the poison of poisonous insects.

“What did you say? Say it again.”

-....

The darkness seemed to have lost its mind and did not move after seeing the message. It fell to the ground like a bird with a damaged wing.

-Now are you really giving it to me with your breath? These crazy bastards!

**

When Baek Woo-jin reached the end of the black passage, a bright light flashed.

< You have passed the ninth test. >

< The first person to pass the ninth test is Baek Woo-jin. >

Baek Woo-jin read the message that appeared on the wall and entered the white light.

“Is this the last time?”

Baek Woo-jin chuckled as he looked at the final exam location. This time too, the test was sparring. However, the size of this sparring venue was the widest and tallest I have ever seen.

“It will be him this time.”

According to what I heard, this is the final test. Surely that person will come out.

Baek Woo-jin sat on the magic circle and waited for his next opponent. But this time, even after an hour, the next opponent did not appear.

Wooooow!

Just before two hours passed, a huge pillar of light erupted from the magic circle on the other side. A tall man appeared through a pillar of light shining like a rainbow.

The black robe, which seemed to be a mixture of battle uniform and military uniform, had a picture of a dragon ascending to heaven engraved on it, and on its face was a mask of a yellow dragon with red eyes.

‘Light Dragon.’

There was no way I didn’t know. The embodiment of nothingness that Daeyeonmun boasts. It was Gwangryong.

Coo coo coo coo.

There was no gap in the intense prayer that spread throughout the large space. It was a warrior who, like himself, was running towards perfection.

-That guy is Gwangryong.

‘okay.’

Baek Woo-jin nodded and stood up. I looked at Gwangryong’s appearance, but there were no wounds or injuries to be seen.

-As you expected, it seems he came slowly on purpose.

‘I guess so.’

With Gwangryong’s abilities, he should have passed at least half of the tests with first place. Not doing so meant that we got here without expending any energy.

Jeez.

Gwangryong stood in front of Baek Woojin with long steps.

“You are Baek Woo-jin.”

“....”

Gwangryong’s voice was as heavy as the prayer. Baek Woo-jin just nodded instead of answering.

“Did you meet Honwon at the tower?”

Gwangryong realized that there was a battle with Honwon just by looking at Baekwoojin up and down.

“As for the results of the fight with Honwon....”

“It’s something I don’t need to know.”

Gwangryong shook his head and interrupted Baek Woojin.

“You’re colder than I thought.”

“A direct descendant of the Baek family would not be in a position to say something like that to me.”

“I see...”

Baek Woo-jin chuckled with an expression that hit the nail on the head. It will have to change in the future, but for now, it was just as Gwangryong said.

“It is more force than I heard. “He is a worthy opponent for the final test.”

The dragon mask worn by Gwangryong was slightly twisted, and its eyes flickered like a snake’s tongue. The face behind the mask was smiling.

“match? “If you think like that, you’ll get seriously hurt.”

Baek Woo-jin put his hand on the sword and smiled coolly.

Cheeeeee!

A wave of thick aura surged in the space between Baek Woo-jin and Gwangryong. The momentum created by the two monsters collided head-on.

< The remaining people in the tower are Baek Woo-jin and Seon Woo-hyeon. >

< The tenth test is sparring. >

< The tenth test begins. >

The two people do not make any moves until a message appears on the wall and just before it disappears. I only looked into his eyes.

And the moment the message disappeared, the two people rushed towards each other.
