“Huuuugh….”

His ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍junior siblings had already shown that the Twin Dragon Sect’s martial arts worked against the Nine Sects and Five Great Families.

Naturally, ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍as the Eldest Senior Brother, he also had to follow in the footsteps of such juniors and win. However….

‘Of ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍all people, the Zhongnan Sword Dragon….’

The ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍opponent is too big of a giant.

Even Mun Yul, who is not bright about the affairs of the Gangho, has heard of the name of the Zhongnan Sword Dragon.

Five Dragons and Three Phoenixes.

From long ago, the Orthodox Faction called young people who showed promise with expectations for the future ’Dragons’ and ’Phoenixes’.

A first-generation disciple whom the Mount Zhongnan Sect Leader personally took in and taught before he even reached the age of thirty.

Regarding the excellence of his talent, he is called the Number One Talent of Shaanxi.

Not Zhongnan Number One, but Shaanxi Number One.

This means that it includes even the Mount Hua Sect right next door.

Leaving aside whether the Mount Hua Sect people would acknowledge those words or not….

‘It means he is an impressive figure enough for such words to be attached.’

There was nothing else to say except that his match luck was terribly nonexistent. But just then….

“Do not be too tense.”

The opponent spoke to Mun Yul with a calm voice.

“This is just a spar to compete in skills with each other. Wouldn’t it be unfair if you cannot display your proper skills due to tension?”

“Uh… That is….”

What is this? Why do those polite words sound like ‘You are going to lose anyway, so don’t be nervous, do well, and go down’?

‘No. That cannot be. It must be that everything looks crooked to me lately because I’ve been hanging out with the Worshipped Duke too much.’

The opponent is a disciple of the prestigious Mount Zhongnan Sect.

Furthermore, he is a direct disciple of the Sect Leader and a Taoist cultivating the Tao.

So surely he wouldn’t speak with such intentions….

“I will yield three moves. Come in first.”

…It seems correct.

This horse-nosed Taoist bastard sees me completely beneath him.

Mun Yul’s gaze headed outside the training ground.

And his eyes met with Patrick’s.

‘What shall I do?’

At Mun Yul’s eyes asking that, Patrick smiled brightly.

And then he lowered his thumb downwards and made a gesture of slitting his throat, conveying his will.

‘Destroy him.’

And Mun Yul turned his gaze to the opponent again and spoke.

“I apologize. I will say this in advance, but I have no personal grudge.”

“What….”

“It is just the command of the sect…. You know how our disciple status is, right? It’s a status where we have to peel if told to peel.”

Yeon Mu could not understand Mun Yul’s words. However, at that moment, the Shaolin martial monk serving as referee shouted.

“Begin!”

‘Mm….’

The spar began.

Yeon Mu looked at the opponent to focus first. But at that moment….

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, Mun Yul’s body expanded greatly.

No, it didn’t get bigger; it was magnified.

Mun Yul had closed the distance without any warning sign.

Yeon Mu, who felt a chilling sensation in an instant, urgently raised his sword.

CLANG!

‘Urgh….’

Yeon Mu barely blocked the attack.

However, he could not completely handle the power of the attack’s momentum and had to retreat one step back.

And not missing the moment his balance was disturbed as he retreated, Mun Yul’s twin swords dug in as if dancing.

[ Radiant Dragon Twelve Sword Forms: First Form: Black and White Twin Dragons Dance ]

The left-hand sword digging in rapidly.

The right-hand sword flying while heavily cleaving the air.

Two different combinations of sword arts pressured Yeon Mu from all directions.

‘Such treacherous….’

Yeon Mu gritted his teeth and swung his sword to oppose.

[ Thirty-Six Swords Under Heaven: Limitless Sword Wall ]

Yeon Mu erected a wall with his sword in front of him.

SCRAAAAPE!

A noise like scraping a rock with a sword rang out.

Mun Yul’s sword was fast, sharp, and erratic, but it could not pierce the solid wall in front of his eyes.

Yeon Mu, who found some leeway with the defensive technique, maintained the technique and spoke.

“It seems Illusion Sword and Fast Sword are your specialties, but you made a mistake.”

“…….”

“Our Zhongnan’s sword is even more specialized in dealing with such swords. Even the Mount Hua Sect’s Plum Blossom Sword Art cannot pierce our Zhongnan’s Thirty-Six Swords Under Heaven, you know?”

I think I’d have to hear the Mount Hua Sect people’s words on that too, but….

At Yeon Mu’s words, Mun Yul snorted.

The wall of swords erected tightly without gaps.

Certainly, there are no gaps. In that case….

‘I just have to break it with power.’

Mun Yul’s attack range gradually narrowed.

From attacking the entire wall in front of his eyes, he began to narrow the range gradually.

Mun Yul’s sword, concentrating on only one point…

CREAK... CRACK...

Created cracks in Zhongnan’s sword.

‘What is this….’

The flustered Yeon Mu added internal energy to erect the wall more solidly. However….

CRACK... CRAAACK...

The cracks in the wall created by sword energy are growing even larger. The more the opponent’s attack range narrowed, the more the sword wall could not endure.

And eventually….

SHATTER!

The sword wall broke.

Simultaneously, Mun Yul’s tenacious sword energy rushed towards Yeon Mu.

“Kugh….”

Yeon Mu retreated and swung his sword quickly to respond. But anyone could see that his hands were dizzyingly twisted.

* * *

“How can this be? How….”

Mount Zhongnan Sect’s Sect Leader, Taoist Dowon, jumped up from his seat and was astounded.

The defense his disciple unfolded was perfect.

But the opponent broke such a disciple’s sword wall and entered too easily.

It wasn’t that he drew up Kang Qi and pushed with internal energy, but purely broke technique with technique.

“Oh my…. A fly will fly into your mouth. Zhongnan Sect Leader.”

Someone’s mocking sound was heard in Dowon’s ear.

Turning his head, he saw….

“What are you so surprised about? It is a natural result that occurs because our Twin Dragon Sect’s sword art is more excellent than Zhongnan’s sword art….”

“Wh… What did you say?”

“Tsk tsk, that Yul guy still has a long way to go. Why is he dragging out time like that against such a greenhorn? I have to scold him when he comes.”

“Grrrgh….”

How can a human be that detestable?

The Zhongnan First Gentleman under heaven, Taoist Dowon.

He felt the urge to rip the ‘Gentleman’ off his title and grab Patrick by the collar and shake him rise up.

* * *

“Kugh….”

CLANG! CLASH! CLANG!

After the sword wall collapsed, Yeon Mu retreated and tried to reorganize his battle lines by focusing on defense.

However, Mun Yul’s tenacious twin swords did not give him such an opening and continued to rush in.

Enduring with defense soon reached its limit.

SLASH! SPURT!

Shoulder and waist.

Yeon Mu suffered injuries as Mun Yul’s sword energy brushed past both sides.

“Kugh….”

Although not fatal wounds, his concentration was still disrupted. Aiming for that gap, Mun Yul threw the finishing blow.

[ Radiant Dragon Twelve Sword Forms: Third Form: Flashing Dragon Strike ]

The initial attack.

It is an attack he has already seen.

But the situation is different.

Now, having suffered injuries to his body and exhausted his stamina and energy.

Even while seeing Mun Yul’s strike flying before his eyes, there was nothing Yeon Mu could do. Eventually….

“Kueook….”

Hit squarely by Mun Yul’s Flashing Dragon Strike, Yeon Mu fell backward just like that.

The Shaolin martial monk checked the fallen Yeon Mu’s condition and then….

“Twin Dragon Sect’s Mun Yul, Victory!”

Declared Mun Yul’s victory.

Then, exclamations burst out from all directions.

“Oooooh…. He won.”

“To defeat that Zhongnan Sword Dragon?”

“Wasn’t it even almost one-sided?”

“Amazing. Does this mean the Twin Dragon Sect takes one of the Five Dragons’ spots?”

“Shouldn’t they? Since he defeated the Zhongnan Sword Dragon so decisively?”

Yun-a and Sanghun before him also achieved victory against the Five Great Families and Nine Sects.

However, the opponent Mun Yul defeated was one of the Five Dragons and Three Phoenixes, who could be called the future of the prestigious orthodox sects.

That weight had to be felt differently.

“Hoho, congratulations. Evil-Breaking Swordsman.”

Jeong Seon of the Kongtong Sect, who was acquainted with Patrick, came to find Patrick and greeted him.

“I thought Young Hero Mun Yul would become big someday, but he eventually raises the sect’s name like this.”

“Ay, over something like this….”

“He caught the Zhongnan Sword Dragon, so it is worth praising.”

“It is just a talent show for kids. Why praise over something like this.”

“Hohoho….”

Jeong Seon saw it.

Patrick spoke like this, but the corners of his mouth were hung on his ears and weren’t coming down.

And if one were to ask what Patrick was thinking inside….

‘Uhahaha, did you see? This is our Twin Dragon Sect’s martial arts. You prestigious orthodox sect bastards!’

He is doing this.

Right. He must be happy.

Mun Yul, whom he had painstakingly taught all this time, defeated one of the Five Dragons.

In other words, it has been proven that the Twin Dragon Sect has cultivated a rising star who can spread fame under the heavens.

This is something even the Radiant Dragon Great Master couldn’t do.

Because Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon didn’t even get the chance.

Since they didn’t even include him in rising star tournaments participated by peers of the same age, he braved the danger and challenged the head disciples and elders of sects.

Looking only at the achievement, that is indeed more amazing. However….

‘At that time, it was just me doing well alone. The sect’s status didn’t really go up.’

The public evaluation was not that the Twin Dragon Sect was amazing for producing the Radiant Dragon Great Master, but just that a dragon luckily entered a third-rate sect and settled there.

That was how they evaluated it.

But now it is different.

Yun-a won.

Sanghun also won.

Mun Yul defeated one of the Five Dragons.

Now who would dare doubt the Twin Dragon Sect’s martial arts?

‘Master, are you watching? Our Twin Dragon Sect has become this strong.’

If possible, I wanted to show this appearance when Master was alive.

But I couldn’t.

Although I busied myself preparing various things, basically, Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon failed.

Patrick looked up at the sky and thought.

‘It will be different this time. Please watch over from there.’

* * *

The preliminaries ended.

And the final 32 advancing to the main tournament were decided.

Among those 32, 28 were people from the Nine Sects or Five Great Families.

The sect leaders of small and medium sects had to realize the wall of reality. But on the other hand….

“Twin Dragon Sect….”

“Truly amazing. To send three disciples and have all of them advance to the main tournament.”

“Their martial arts didn’t seem to fall behind even compared to the Nine Sects or Five Great Families.”

The Twin Dragon Sect’s rapid advance touched their hearts that much.

As fellow small and medium sects, emotions had to be empathized.

And in a different sense from them, the Nine Sects or Five Great Families also paid attention to the Twin Dragon Sect.

“Twin Dragon Sect….”

Namgung Clan Head Namgung Un muttered quietly.

“Min.”

“Yes. Father.”

“What level do you think the Twin Dragon Sect’s skill is at?”

“I do not know exactly either.”

“You don’t know? Did you not watch them fight?”

“When fighting bandits, Worshipped Duke Patrick did not step forward and only nagged from the back.”

“Hmm….”

“However, it is certain that the Worshipped Duke’s wife Lady Elione or Lady Persona are much stronger than Brother Mun Yul.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes. Especially Lady Persona, although only once, I have seen her draw her saber and swing it.”

“Oho, and?”

“She was at the State of Harmony. She drew out Saber Strength from the saber and swept away the bandits in one stroke.”

“At that age?”

In Namgung Un’s view, Persona looked to be in her mid-20s at best.

But the State of Harmony at that age?

Either she is a ridiculous genius, or it means her martial arts realm is deep enough to deceive her age.

“Come to think of it, that fellow called Worshipped Duke also had a young-looking appearance for his age. Did they say what his actual age is?”

“I know it to be early 30s.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I heard it directly.”

“He is much younger than I thought.”

Just looking at the way he talks, he seemed like an old man well over seventy. So he thought he would be his contemporary or older, but it was quite unexpected.

“At that young age, that level of skill….”

Namgung Un organized his thoughts and then spoke.

“Son.”

“Yes. Father.”

“What do you intend to do when this tournament ends?”

“Pardon? Ah, that is…. I will return to the family and now polish myself….”

“Go to the Twin Dragon Sect.”

“Pardon?”

Instantly, in Namgung Min’s ears, the words his father said sounded like ‘Fall into hell.’

“No, why… is that?”

Namgung Un looked at his youngest son intently and spoke.

“Honestly speaking, I didn’t even think you would be able to advance to the main tournament.”

“Ah, that is….”

It is so. In the martial arts tournament held this time, all three sons of the Namgung Clan succeeded in advancing to the main tournament.

In fact, the first two aren’t particularly surprising.

His eldest son Namgung Jin is a young man called the head of the Five Dragons, and has the skill to aim for victory.

The second son also had the skill to easily go up to the main tournament as long as his match luck wasn’t bad. However….

‘To think this guy would go up.’

Honestly, he didn’t even think the youngest would succeed in advancing to the main tournament.

However, unlike such thoughts of Namgung Un, Namgung Min confidently won a ticket to the main tournament.

In the process, he even defeated disciples of the Mount Hua Sect and Qingcheng Sect.

Although it was close, it was an improvement he couldn’t even dream of before.

Namgung Un looked at his son with a pleased expression and spoke.

“It seems the teachings received at the Twin Dragon Sect guided you strongly.”

“F… Father….”

“Then there is no reason to refuse the teachings. Go and learn a lot and return stronger.”

“…….”

Namgung Min’s mouth dropped wide open.

The words are correct.

Clearly, due to the training received from Patrick of the Twin Dragon Sect, he became much stronger.

So his father’s words are correct, but….

‘Undergo that hell again?’

On this day, Namgung Min seriously contemplated whether to attempt a second runaway from home or not.
