Tang bo " Hyung nim.... He seems to be stronger than us when we were at his age "
Cheongmyung did not know what to say ' I didn't see it... The attack.... '
Cheongjin who seems to worried about his sahyung had a question in his mind so he asked it " Ahmmm excuse me.... The moving picture we are seeing... Is it perhaps the thing the person is seeing...??? "
The room was silent, no one thought it other than king greenim who was aware of it sayed " I too think that was... The fight we are seeing is from the eyes of the people who are present there "
People could not believe it, the fact that they were able to read the people mind was shocking but being able to view what a person view was just something no one could believe
The voice " Your guess is true "
Baek Cheon ' no way.... Just.. How strong is this dragon'
Tang bo " That explain the fact why we were not able to see the attack "
Cheongmun " Yeah that's right " ' otherwise there is no way sanje would not be able to see it'
There still seems to be question in the mind of Cheongmyeong " Will i able to see it??? Ahhhhh... To much thinking hurts my head '
272: So Prestigious Sects Don't Have heads?
Cheongmun ' the title still pains me '
Hyun jong seems to have same thought as him
Kangho was for strong people.
At those words some people noded their heads
To the extent that they sought strength in themselves and longed to fight against the best in the world, they were strong people who only had affection for strength.
Cheongmyeong ' but... Isn't that the best thing?? Nothing feels more satisfying than beating strong brads' he licked his lips as he thought
So people couldn't help but cheer for the absurd situation that was happening before their eyes.
"Woahhh!"
"Mount Hua's Divine Dragon! Mount Hua's Divine Dragon!"
"Mount Hua! Cheers!"
It had been a long time since the match had finished, but the cheers didn't stop. The crowd kept going.
Spars began to take place in other spots, but no one paid any attention to their outcomes.
King greenim " How can someone pay attention to someone else when diving dragon is front of them "
Namgung Dowi ' i can't believe I am agreeing with bandit '
The blow that Chung Myung had shown was just too intense.
"Oh my, what a great disciple of the Southern Island Sect!"
"He took him down without even using his sword."
"I told you! Mount Hua's Divine Dragon is great! Isn't this more than just rumors?"
"Yah, that was a surprise!"
"A surprise? A surprise attack of death! The guy who was careless on that stage is finished. The monk, Gang Cho, clearly gave the signal to start, what was that kid doing being that careless?! But still, the skill of that attack!!"
"Right! Only the winners can curse people!"
"The Mount Hua Sect has gotten really strong! Strong enough to defeat a Southern Island disciple in just one hit."
At those words faces of past generations were filled with asham
Minor things were ignored.
Most of the people gathered there wanted to see the talent of the other sects with their own eyes, to see who would lead in the future.
The future generations faces were imotionless but they can't help but agree to that fact
It just meant that they were ready to cheer for those who won. But even after seeing this in front of their eyes, they couldn't hold down their excitement.
And in the midst of such great screams, Chung Myung had a sad expression.
Cheongmun ' sad??? '
"Well, did I do something good?"
"Mount Hua's Divine Dragon! Mount Hua's Divine Dragon!"
"It was nothing."
"Mount Hua! Mount Hua! Mount Hua!"
"..."
Chung Myung's lips trembled.
And Baek Cheon, who looked at him, frowned.
'He likes this too much.'
Cheongjin looked at his sahyung
Cheongmyeong " What??? "
Cheongjin " Sahyung i am not trying to make fun of you but..... "
Seeing Cheongmyeong face he could not continue ' he will kill me '
" Nothing... Nothing at all sahyung "
Cheongmyeong was confused by his sanje
Tang bo can't help but respect Cheongjin ' you made such a wise choice'
"Ah, no. Well... it isn't like I..."
"... just smile Chung Myung. Or you will explode any moment now."
"I am feeling good. I took down one of those bastards."
"You are saying that, but your body is being too honest."
The elderly locked in awe to him,
Hyun jong ' at the times like these he looks like child... I wish.. You could behave like this in future too '
King greenim ' so he likes praise... Maybe I will praise him more '
And Chung Myung opened his mouth.
Baek Cheon took a deep breath.
One hit.
Literally one hit. With just a single hit, Chung Myung took the attention of everyone here.
It wasn't known if Chung Myung was aiming for that, or if he simply found the opponent annoying. But the result would be the same either way.
Now Baek Cheon knew that he wasn't aiming for that it was just his way that lead to the aim
Now, it is clear that everyone will pay attention to Chung Myung and Mount Hua throughout the competition.
At those words Cheongmun narrowed his eyes ' attention is not such a good thing in kungo '
"Careful, Chung Myung."
"Uh?"
Chung Myung turned to look at Baek Cheon.
"It isn't good to get too much attention. Look. Everyone has already started to be wary of you."
Yoon jong " Sasuke don't you think your words were meaningless"
Baek cheon look at him in disappointment ' I could have expected it from gul but you??? '
Yoon jong " I didn't mean it that way sasuk!!! '
Baek sang " I agree with yoon jong sasuk, after all it's Cheongmyeong, there is no way he will be bother by small things "
Baek cheon " I know that now " ' I sure do know now '
With that, Baek Cheon looked around. There are definitely more eyes on him than before.
This was only natural because the audience was cheering for him, but some of the eyes looking at him were focusing a little too carefully on him.
Cheongmyeong " What are they looking at, how dare they look at disiple of mount hua like that, I will pop your eyes out " He seems to be really angry ,
Cheongmun ' sanje i am happy that you care about disiple but.... You should not talk like that about someone's eye, he sign
The other disciples from different sects who were participating seemed to be agitated at the sight of him, and their eyes had a vigilant gleam in them.
They also had eyes, so they couldn't just ignore what Chung Myung had just done. It would be strange if they hadn't become vigilant of him after that.
Tang gunak ' that is natural... After all people love paying attention to interesting things '
But Chung Myung who received those gazes, just rolled his hand,
"These bastards, how dare they look at me! I will pop their eyes out!"
Now everyone present in the room was looking at sword saint
.....
Even he himself was questioning ' did I ever?????? ' no matter how much he thinks he doesn't seems to so how??
......
Cheongjin " He even said the same thing as you ..... Sahyung.... How is it coincidence?? "
This time cheongmyeong did not have an answer
"No, you crazy bastard!"
Fortunately, Baek Cheon was next to him and was able to hold Chung Myung down.
"Since you showed them that, they are bound to be aware of you!"
"Is it my fault if they couldn't do something like this? Those bastards who can't handle one hit!"
'Uh... True.'
Clearly, Chung Myung wasn't just someone anyone could handle. But whether they knew it or not was completely different.
" Being able to hold a madman who shaked the whole world.. That's a crazy talk "
At that moment Chung Myung licked his lip and said,
"Remember sasuk."
"Yes?"
"Don't care about being acknowledged."
"..."
"If you deal with them in moderation, you tend to think you can win and are ready for your next opponent. You might even look at them with pity. But when you want to win, you need to trample on them, without care for blood or tears. That way, the next time you meet, they will not be able to look you in the eye."
"... are we evil?"
Baek Cheon ' I understand now we are not evil but we must become evil.. If we wish to protect'
He and five sword exchange glance, they too agree with him
They have faced the cruelty of the world and lost so much, they will never be same as they were before
"There are things we can learn from them too. They deal with things efficiently, especially when faced head-on. Their survival comes first, and their own profit comes second."
"..."
"Keep in mind, don't look at your opponents with pity. To win, you need to do it overwhelmingly, right...?"
Cheongmun " His words aren't wrong but... They are like..... "
Cheongjin 'Words of person who has spent his whole life in war.... Just how did you live... To have say such a words at young age '
Chung Myung turned his gaze up, looking at the sect leaders sitting on the podium.
"Because they will realize it too. Whose stage this is."
Hyun Jong ' had he paradise it or planned it?? The question remains unanswered but i just can't shake the feeling that.... We know little about him and it might still take while for that child to open up '
There was a clear expression of disbelief in the eyes of the sect leaders and family lords.
Meanwhile...
"Uh?"
The sect leaders who were watching the different spars couldn't hide their shock.
"That was amazing. Isn't that child from Mount Hua so talented?"
"The opponent wasn't too alert, but for a moment, even I couldn't see that child's movement."
"I heard the name of Mount Hua's Divine Dragon several times, isn't he a good one?"
A sincere sense of admiration was evident in their voices.
The skill shown by Chung Myung was enough to surprise even the heads of the sects and the other families.
Of course, the shock in their eyes was a light that couldn't be hidden.
'Still in one hit.'
'Wasn't Kwak Hwan-So known to be quite skilled? Weren't his skills known to be strong? But he couldn't even respond?'
This was a question everyone was trying to piece through.
This was a result that could only be seen when there was a vast difference in skills.
No, even if there was a difference in skills, most of the kids wouldn't have been able to defeat Kwak Hwan-So in one blow.
Jo gul " how can they include him in most of!!!"
Tang soso " sahyung is right, that's desgrass to most of!!! "
Cheongmun ' child... Please... ' he sign at the way the future generations is going, it might lead him to an heart attack
Mount Hua's Divine Dragon did that too effortlessly, watching him made it seem so easy!
Cheongjin " it may seem easy but you could never pull off something like that easily "
Tang bo " dojo is right, it is clearly that he is talented, aren't you happy there is someone so amazing in your sect Hyung-nim "
Cheongmyeong who never once in his life praise or felt that someone was above him can't seem to hold back his chest from growing " hehehe you are right tang bo, after all i am his ancestors hehehe"
Everyone look at him ' isn't he just bluffing about himself '
The five sword ' isn't that just him?!?!? "
"Mount Hua's Divine Dragon! Mount Hua's Divine Dragon..."
"The more we hear, the more strange it sounds."
Most of the sect leaders here didn't believe that Mount Hua's Divine Dragon was an actual candidate for the strongest in the world. To be precise, they didn't want to recognize him.
King greenim ' that's the human nature, who would agree that someone is supireur then themselves ' he gracefully waved his fan
In fact, that position or title was something that could only be given after someone had bested the previous owner of that title. It was close to impossible to compare everyone that was considered to be 'The Best in the World'.
Cheongjin " this title??? "
Tang gunak " he became candidate for the best in world when he faced me.... It is quite shameful for me but he received my 10 attack and won.. Not only that he defeated the elder of tang family " at those words tang peng bowed his head
Now tang bo was beyond shock " no is it true???? " there no way he underastimat the power of the family head and to think a child was able to face and also defeat the elder,
Even cheongmyeong was impressed, after who knows about tang power more than him he almost face it everyday.
Hyun Jong " the tang lord is too generous "
Tang gunak " no lard, the reality does not change and my friend is that amazing that i can't help but show him off " he smiled thinking about how his little friend would react
Cheongmun ' a friend???? '
Besides there were the Nine Great Sects and the Five Great Families, and they definitely wouldn't accept this.
'If my disciple goes to Kangho, he could get that kind of evaluation.'
This was the thought each sect leader had.
The future disciple find it funny ' as if there could be someone like him ' they completely seems to forget about that there was someone like that in the Same room
However, at this moment, they thought that perhaps the fame of Chung Myung may not just be the useless ramblings of those easily impressed.
Indeed... could their disciples be able to give a showing that good? Doubt began to set in.
No one could easily go along with that.
Their appreciation had changed. This was because after that absurd situation had come to pass, surprise became vigilance. Their admiration had transformed into wariness.
"Ahem."
In that bizarre situation, Hyun Jong worked hard to calm his shoulders, which were constantly going wide with pride.
The future disciple felt the urge to be the cause of that pride
It wasn't that difficult to guess what the other sect leaders were thinking.
'They must be shocked.'
Well, this was definitely absurd.
Yoon jong ' if someone did not find it absurd than they are a demon too '
Hyun Jong has been through such absurd times more than once now. This moment had finally come to pass, all as a result of enduring that man's absurd actions.
" sect leader is so happy "
" think about the things he handle because of that madman, how could he not be happy "
This was the moment to show everyone in the world what Mount Hua's Chung Myung was made of!
At that time, Tang Gunak, who was there, spoke to Hyun Jong,
"Congratulations, Mount Hua's sect leader."
"Ha... haha. He must have been lucky."
"Luck. Excessive humility isn't good. Who here can do something like that?"
At Tang Gunak's words, someone interrupted,
"Those words are not wrong."
Hyun Jong felt a little startled as he heard that.
This was because the person who had intervened in the conversation was the sect leader of the Southern Edge sect, Jong Rigok.
Jo gul " what's wrong with him? "
Yoon jong ' is that a demon in disguise '
Cheongmyeong " sahyung, i think that man eat something wrong or maybe he hurt his head "
Cheongmun " Cheongmyeong-ah " he wish to scold him but he couldn't because he too seems to have same thought
"It is true that only Mount Hua's Divine Dragon Chung Myung could do something like that. It was the same as what we had seen in the past Souther Edge-Mount Hua conference. Truly, he is a talented person who could aim for the title of the Best in the World."
" how scary "
'This man.'
Did he eat something that had soured?
Hyun Jong cough and looked away in embarrassment ' i shouldn't have thought that '
Hyun Jong looked at Jong Rigok not being able to understand, and simply nodded a 'Yes.'
'This is all a play.'
The Southern Edge sect had suffered the greatest disgrace by Chung Myung.
If the result could not be changed, it would be better to use Chung Myung to make himself look better. That way, the Southern Edge Sect would not be known as a stupid sect that had gotten humiliated by a trivial, irrelevant person.
Jo gul " ah.... That's why he said that i thought because cheongmyeong cracked the heads of his disciples so many times that he lost his mind "
Baek Cheon and Yoon jong seems to be tired from their junior
Of course, they probably hated Chung Myung enough to want him dead, but...
"Yes."
"Um. As expected of Mount Hua's Divine Dragon."
Perhaps, he had a similar thought, but Heo Do Jinin chimed in, saying something similar.
Cheongjin " i understand about the southern edge but why is he praising him"
This time someone who has witnessed the event needs to reply that's why Baek Cheon answered " it might be due to the fact cheongmyeong once faced the wudgha sect elder and had upper hand "
The future generations who thought they were aware of the ability of thier future disciple and thought they would not be shocked again could not hide their surprise
Cheongmun ' just how much more amazing would you be getting, disciple?? '
Tang Gunak and Heo Do Jinin, the weight of their words were bound to have a different weight attached to them.
And when Heo Do Jinin said that, the other sect leaders began to hide their cautious looks and complemented Mount Hua's sect leader.
"Congratulations, Sect Leader."
"Haha. It seems like the time when Mount Hua regains its name isn't too far away."
Hyun Jong's lips trembled.
He was making the face of a parent who just had their child be acknowledged, his disciples were getting him so many compliments. What could be a more happy moment for him?
"Ahem! Thank you, everyone."
Hyun Jong covered his mouth and coughed.
When he looked down, he could see Baek Cheon and Chung Myung.
Sometimes he really felt his life leaving his body due to his actions, but at times like this, his name felt so calming to him.
Finally, he managed to understand the feelings of Hyun Young, who favored Chung Myung.
Hyun Young just sneered " of course, you should favor him, the clothes you all are wearing is made from his money "
Hyun jong ' we already know.....why do you keep rubbing it " well he can't deny it
Deep down, there was one person who couldn't fit into this atmosphere,
"Wasn't that just a surprise attack!"
"Um."
"Ahem."
Those who turned their heads at these absurd words confirmed who the person was and smiled very modestly.
It was Geum Yang-Baek, the sect leader of the Southern Island Sect.
He was shouting with a reddened face,
"I acknowledge the outcome of that spar. But if that child hadn't been so careless, the match wouldn't have been this easy."
Cheongmyeong " what the hell, you old man??? "
The past generations ' you are older than him, you madman'
Tang Gunak, who was listening to that, smiled,
'Trying to make yourself look good.'
For a martial artist, being careless was a bigger shame than being without skill. Especially in an official spar, where showing carelessness was equivalent to showing disrespect.
But at the same time, he could understand Geum Yang-Baek's feelings.
'Perhaps it is difficult to think rationally now.'
The disciple he had been raising dearly was smashed with one blow, and the name of his sect plummeted.
From the point of view of a sect leader, there could be nothing more terrifying than this.
"Let's see. The other kids will soon prove the skills of my Southern Island Sect!"
No one responded to the angry words of Geum Yang-Baek.
However, only one thing registered,
'Other kids.'
They all had confirmed the skills of Mount Hua's Divine Dragon with their own eyes.
Then, what about the other disciples of Mount Hua?
Same question seem to be raising in the mind of the past generations
The eyes of the sect leaders turned to the other disciples of Mount Hua who were gathered.
Depending on the result...
'Maybe this spar will be a venue for the Mount Hua sect.'
The faces of the other sect leaders began to turn serious.
"Listen carefully."
Baek Cheon said with a stiff face,
"Do not follow this guy."
Jo gul " again sasuk goes with useless warning "
Baek cheong face twisted ' you... I am your senior you b*!!!!!'
And Chung Myung, who was sitting next to him, frowned as he chewed on his beef jerky.
"If a bird follows a stork, it will die from getting its wings torn and its break broken. Never try to finish your opponent in one move, just focus on showing your skills! Do you understand?"
Meng bo " as expected of the righteous sword of mount hua "
People seems to be startrled by sudden loud voice
"Yes, sahyung!"
"I understand, sasuk!"
"Um!"
Everyone agreed with Baek Cheon's words.
However, Chung Myung tilted his head back as if he had a different opinion,
"That isn't right sasuk."
"Shut it!" screamed Baek Cheon.
"Don't tell us to do what we cannot do, but tell us to do what we can do!"
Baek cheong sign at his useless effort
"What is so special about sparring for a long time with them?"
"Kuk!"
In the end, he shook his head, not wanting to deal with 'it' any longer.
" Hahahahaahahahaha sasuk thinks of him as it "
" he doesn't even considere him as him hehe"
Jo gul " sasuk haha if he was here i bet you would be beaten to death "
Beak cheong does not wish to think of worse thing possible
"Anyway, never do what Chung Myung does. Do you get it?"
"Yes!"
No matter how scary Chung Myung was, if Baek Cheon and Chung Myung were speaking about this openly, it was better to side with Baek Cheon.
It was then,
"S-sahyung! Jo Gul's spar is starting!"
"Uh!"
The past generations seems to be looking forward to be finally seeing the skill of future disciple
Hyun jong who see it can't help but feel ashamed
Baek Cheon, who was startled, shouted,
"Jo Gul, calm down...!"
"Bang!"
"..."
"..."
The future generations seem to be trying best to not laugh or make eye contact with the past generations
The cry of Baek Cheon, who had nowhere to go, became silent.
Everyone looked at the sparring circle with blank eyes.
Jo Gul, who had blown his opponent away with a single hit, was staring at his opponent who was convulsing on the ground.
Silence, again that's the only thing could be heard in room,
Baek cheong was too tired from the silence ' this is so awkward '
"C-Calm down..."
Jo Gul looked at his sword and then at his fallen opponent and turned his head.
When he met Baek Cheon's eyes, he opened and shut his mouth a few times.
"S-sasuk."
"... Uh."
"... these bastards are too weak."
"..."
Weak?
The disciples of the Nine Great Sects One Union?
The future disciple " weak?!?!! " " how come?!? " " no matter how weak... How could you in one hit?!?! "
Tang bo " sahyung the future disciple of mount hua sure seems strong " ' to the point it is scary
The cheong trio still seems to be in thought
At that time, Chung Myung who was looking around, began to giggle,
"Silver spoons?"
"..."
"Then are they just bugs? Kuak. This is what it means. Look at our Dong-Ryong's arrogance."
"..."
Something was clearly wrong... no, it was Baek Cheon who realized that this all was starting to work out a bit too well.
" way too well "
" i bet he trained us that way "
" wasn't he just controlling us "
" don't say that , that's way too scary cause i can't help but feel that it's true "
As the chatter was going on ,there seems to be whispers
Cheongjin " sahyung....what are you thinking "
Cheongmyeong " i am thinking about what should i be thinking "
Cheongmun for first time felt bad for his sanje
