Chapter 423

Episode 423

“It’s okay.”

A large training hall within the Murim League.

Woo Ga-jin, a bald-headed man, placed a curved sword on his shoulder and muttered.

“Ugh.”

“Ugh.”

Applicants scattered throughout the testing room let out groans.

A one-on-many sparring held in the name of showing off one’s skills.

Even though he received joint attacks from the transcendental masters, there was not a single scratch on Wu Ga-jin’s body.

“What do you think?”

Woo Ga-jin smiles cheerfully and looks to the side.

Bangcheoksam, who was sitting under the shade and watching, let out a small sigh and answered.

“I passed without even having to look at it.”

There was a hint of compassion in his eyes as he examined the fallen applicants.

From the beginning, when Wu Ga-jin came forward to test the applicant, he expressed his opposition.

Because they were people who didn’t need to be evaluated.

Even so, how could it be possible for someone with as many as five swords to fail to pass the passing standard?

This was one of the words commonly spoken by Yunnan residents.

If the Hwasan faction has Maehwa Geomsu and the Shaman faction has Shaman Chilgeom, the Jeomchang faction has Jeomchang Ogeom.

Each and every one of them was a representative master of the old school, the Jeomchang school, and was the pride of Yunnan.

They are talented people whose individual inaction has reached its peak, so what more can they do?

‘They are not the ones to be treated like that.’

The current situation could, so to speak, be a disaster caused by Woo Ga-jin’s competitive spirit.

I’m already having a hard time figuring out how to report this to Yeonsun later.

“Why are you looking so serious?”

“Should I tell you why?”

“I just performed my role faithfully. You have to take the test properly. “If you give them preferential treatment just because they are from the old school, how much deprivation will other challengers feel?”

“If you can’t even talk.”

Bangcheoksam’s eyes frowned slightly.

This was truly a shameless attitude.

They used much more effort than when testing other applicants.

Of course, in principle, Wu Ji-jin was right.

That’s why I couldn’t stop him.

Looking at his appearance, he would seem to be weak at using his brain, but perhaps because he was a person who fought in politics for a long time, he was surprisingly shrewd.

“Actually, the person I want to hang out with the most is you.”

“.......”

“How about it? “Would you like to have a chat with me after work?”

“I would have said I would refuse.”

“I will tell you, I will continue to recommend it over and over again until a positive answer comes out of your mouth.”

“No matter how much you recommend, my answer will be the same. “As I said before, the martial arts of an archer are not suitable for martial arts.”

“Having said that makes me even more excited.”

“Did you listen to me?”

“It depends on the ratio. “I am not interested in a gentlemanly fight where we are considerate and give in to each other.”

Bangcheoksam shook his head and sighed again.

I guess someone is not just a warrior for others.

His tenacity was no less than that of a stray dog.

Once the person caught his eye, he bit it and had no intention of letting go.

I thought I was going to get tired in the future.

“...What kind of situation is this?”

It was then.

A young man who appeared in the training hall without a sound looked around and had a puzzled expression on his face.

The attention of the middle school students naturally focused on the young man.

No one except those who received permission was allowed to enter this testing room.

Cheonan Gambu members who took on the role of examiners were no exception.

Excluding Woo Ga-jin and Bang Cheok-sam, there is only one person who can freely enter and exit the examination room.

“If my eyes are not wrong, I think that person is Changyeon Dojo...” After

confirming the identity of the young man, Bangcheoksam placed his hand on his forehead.

The situation I was worried about happened sooner than expected.

Cheonan Inspector General Yeon Yeon-woon personally came to tour the testing site.

* * *

I asked, making direct eye contact with Woo Ga-jin.

“Could you explain the situation?”

Geomhu and Wu Ga-jin’s levels were roughly the same.

Hwa-kyung, who has taken a step toward absolute perfection.

I thought that putting the two together would have a great synergistic effect.

That’s why we set this stage.

“Please take care of me. Archduke.”

“I am.”

Geomhu and Woo Gajin are the same.

They were great men who were second to none in terms of their competitive spirit.

There was no way to turn down the opportunity to compete hand-to-hand with an equally strong player.

The two people who took a light bow rushed towards each other at the same time.

Quang!

The sword and the curved sword collided, creating a loud noise.

The hem of their clothes fluttered in the gust of wind that arose around the two people.

As I was watching from a little distance away, I internally let out an exclamation.

‘indeed.’

I knew Woo Ga-jin’s skills well because I had dealt with him in person.

He has become stronger than when he was in Nanman in the past.

How could it be that Dokgokju felt threatened and ousted him?

‘Even at the risk of breaking the balance of power between each faction.’

Kakakak! Kak!

However, Geomhu showed that he did not bow down to Woo Ga-jin at all.

She has also grown incomparably since the last time I saw her.

Seeing it with my own eyes was more than I had vaguely imagined.

‘I can’t believe a person like that would voluntarily apply to the Cheonan Inspectorate. It’s literally a pumpkin that rolled in on a vine.’

A tense battle took place.

Wu Ga-jin was ahead in terms of strength and speed, but Geom-hu was ahead in technique.

Precise and efficient movements as if measured with a ruler.

It was not for nothing that people in the world called her the best sword among women.

‘To someone who doesn’t know, it may seem like Woo Ga-jin is pushing things one-sidedly.’

In reality, that wasn’t the case.

Rather, it was Woo Ga-jin who was being chased.

In terms of distribution of power, Wu Jiajin was not as good as Geomhu.

If the fight was prolonged, Geomhu would naturally emerge victorious.

‘It’s a lot of fun to watch.’

I thought that if Geomhu reached the absolute level, he would surpass the sound ghost and be called the best among women.

Although her level was higher than mine, there was a lot to learn from her sword.

It would not have been common to have the opportunity to leisurely observe the swordsmanship of Botaam, who was famous for his martial arts skills, from a third party’s perspective.

“Hmph!”

Woo Ji-jin gritted his teeth.

He explosively increased his momentum and pushed his opponent hard.

In terms of power output, he was ahead of Geomhu.

In the end, it was a battle to see whose strengths would shine more brightly.

‘Will Geomhu hold out until the turning point where power reverses, or will Woo Ga-jin win before then? It wouldn’t be surprising if one side wins.’

Kwazijic!

It was only after about 500 small bites were exchanged that the decision was made.

It seemed like there was a crack in Wu Ji-jin’s curved sword, but it ended up breaking in half.

Woo Ga-jin looked down at his hands with a helpless expression and admitted defeat.

‘this.’

I clicked my tongue inwardly.

It was a somewhat vain ending.

It wasn’t that Geomhu’s martial arts skills were superior to Wu Jiajin’s.

Looking closely, it seemed that the lifespan of the weapon had already reached its limit when he faced the Baek-faced Envoy in Banghyeon.

‘Considering the fact that he wasn’t wearing armor, the right side is actually slightly higher.’

Of course, even so, it was clear that the winner was Geomhu.

Although it was a little disappointing, I was still satisfied because I was able to properly understand her skills.

“Whoa.”

Geomhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a breath.

She returned the sword to its scabbard and spoke with a wave.

“It was a good fight. “Can I ask you again next time?”

“Of course. I won’t lose then.”

As soon as the dance was over, I felt confident as I saw the two people making plans for the next time.

That they would be good competitors for each other.
