The protagonist with blurred vision looks down and says that everything there was red with a blade in his chest and labored breathing he mentions that all that remained in that place was deaf as he questions why so much blood was necessary he looks back and sees one of his comrades dead both his brother Jamon his friends and the disciples all of them were now dead in that place the alliance of 20 sex made up of the most Powerful people had been created for the final battle against Chama however the result of it all was the
annihilation of both sides and the reason for all this was the man sitting at top the pile of bodies the demon who descended from the heavens and bathed the land in blood the leader of the Demonic cult known as chinama hi calls out to the disciple of the mount hoct and says it's a Pity he finds himself in this situation the protagonist stares at him and begins to Rise spitting blood as CH remarks that even though he survived this battle the life of glory and fame he had hoped for after this would not be possible
after all it was clear to both of them that their day had come the protagonist tells him to shut up however from a top the pile of bodies cha extends his arm and says that he can feel proud of this though many had helped him in this final battle it was his blade that delivered the final blow and as the leader of the Demonic cult he recognizes the blade of Mount hoah as the most powerful on Earth the protagonist yells and tells him to shut up once more he charges toward the demon who remarks that
it's a shame because with one more day he would have been worthy of the name chinama however he says that this doesn't matter until tells the mount H disciple to remember this was not the end the Demonic forces would return and when that day came the world would fall under the control of The Demonic cult the protagonist extends his sword as chin declares that when that happens he will be unstoppable a slash cuts through and a line appears on the Demon's neck he evaporates and his head rolls down the pile of bodies as top of
all the protagonist declares that the war has finally ended however he already knew that his life had also come to an end what he wanted to know was what would happen now to mount HOA all the most powerful members who had Participated in this Advance were dead the only people left in that sect were children who barely knew how to hold a sword he couldn't even tell if all this Bloodshed had been worth anything in the end he wonders if had he trained a bit more he might have been able to save at least one
of them but that no longer mattered Ling at top the pile he says that in the end it was all in vain even the brightest peels eventually rot the protagonist was the 13th disciple of Mount Hua and the strongest swordsman on Earth known as the master of the blossoming blade Chong Mayan he had finally managed to take the life of the demon who brought catastrophe to the land but in the end he died a top the 100,000 mountain peaks that was the Legacy he should have left on Earth before it all happened a baby had
been abandoned in front of Mount hoah two elderly people approached and picked him up from the ground some time later he Was practicing swordsmanship one of the teachers calls out to Chan wayang while his Consciousness questions what those Visions were the teacher schs him saying that for someone training in martial arts he should follow the correct path and not resort to violence at the time he felt somewhat angry as he was always getting scolded the truth is even though he was a member of the sect he didn't take the teachings to Heart even though he
had earned the title of swordmaster He should never have forgotten that in the end he wouldn't have anything in this life if it weren't for Mount haua one of the SE Masters asks if he has any regrets unconscious within his own mind Chang mayang says yes yet countless regrets and wish he had followed the teachings of the sect more closely maybe that way he would have become an even stronger Warrior and somehow changed the outcome of this terrible situation however Jamon speaks up and says that he Didn't need to have regrets because all of this
was part of the destiny of the mount HCT and he was sure they would continue to exist the scene then shifts to a boy getting hit on the head inside a tent an argument is taking place a boy tries to defend himself from the attack asking where Chim is the person in front of him asks what business he has with chinama the boy with a wooden stick on his back says he doesn't know who this chin is and claims to be a stinking Street rat everyone was demanding money but there he was sleeping as if
he owned the place the boy was utterly confused wanting to know what was happening because it seemed like there was a beggar in front of him threatening him the boy who had woken up tells the guy to put down that stick before he gets a being however the guy starts laughing leaving him desperate as the boy on the ground begins to lose patience saying that as far as he knows not even the Leader of the beggar's sex should treat him like that the boy raises his arm and says that now he's screwed the protagonist then
stretches out of his hand saying he'll have to teach this guy a lesson but then he notices something strange the wooden stick comes down and while he's wondering why the arm is so small he realizes he won't be able to block it and gets hit on the head again the guy mocks him calling him Shameless and starts hitting him repeatedly at This point another person was getting involved in the fight but upon seeing the beating they decided to leave some time later the boy was sitting by a river with a bleeding nose saying he hadn't
been beaten this badly even when he was at Mount HOA however one day he get back at that bastard then he falls silent and looks down wondering who that child in the wat's reflection was it seemed like one of those reincarnation things Buddhists believe in while he Ponders that if this were true you should have reincarnated into Mount shaan someone appears behind him the boy calls out to him and Chong mayang says he saw him watching the fight and running away afterward the boy apologizes and says Wango is sometimes like that but day he went
too far but suddenly the protagonist raises a finger and says he's going to ask a question actually not just one he's going to ask two questions they stare at each other The boy confused silence fills the air and Chong mayong asks if he's a beggar the boy replies that it's obvious just look at the clothes he's wearing Chong mayong crouches down in Anger asking what kind of curse reincarnation this is he then stands up and says he's going to the second question he mentions the name chma and asks if the boy knows who that is
the boy responds that it seems like the beating was strong enough to make him go crazy xang mayang demands he Answered the question the boy crosses his arms and says he's heard the name as far as he knows that was the great leader of the Demonic Clan who died 100 years ago Chang mayang is shocked and wonders what kind of story this is about something that happened 100 years ago he grabs the boy by the collar and asks if that's true hesitant the boy asks why he would lie about something so stupid the protagonist lets
go of him unable to believe that 100 years have passed Apparently he was reborn but long after his own death in a way it was his if he had returned to a world where he was alone as he's feeling disheartened the boy asks if he's okay that's when Chang mayang remembers Mount ho he then says the sex name and asks what happened to it the boy is puzzled and asks what Mount ho is cha Mayon becomes even more alarmed he asks if the boy is a beggar who replies that he certainly is Shan mayang says
that Beggars should belong To the guy bang sect so how come he doesn't know about Mount hoah one of the 10 greatest sex in the world the boy is confused and asks what nonsense he's talking about he lists the names of the 10 great sex and says none of them are called Mount haa Chang mayang wonders how this is possible how did the sect he had raised the top of the world vanish from the map he grabs the boy by the collar again and the boy wonders if it's going to happen again the protagonist Shakes
him demanding to know how these weak sex became among the 10 strongest in the world and how Mount H could have disappeared in the meantime the boy shaken starts to recall the name then he says he's heard there's a sect like that in the shanki region Shang maang gets excited but the boy says that as far as he knows it's not one of the 10 strongest Shang n becomes pensive and says that as far as he remembers that sect is in ruins the poor protagonist is In disbelief how could Mount ho one of the most
renowned sex in the world had disappeared like that he then lets go with the boy and slowly says that to believe this he'll have to go there and see for himself he then clenches his fists and says he's heading to mount HOA the boy finds it amusing and tells him he better return to the streets to beg or he'll starve to death J Mayan however tells him to shut up and says he'll have to answer many questions so it's best Not to lie Iden beats his chest and asks the name of this boy the Boy
stands up up and asks what kind of beggar has a name people called him choang but whatever he then asks his age and the boy again replies who knows the age of a beggar Chong mayang says that's fine he just wants to know now the name of the boy who beat him the boy introduces himself as guo and says the leader's name was Jong Paul Chong Mayan then says that good deeds will be repaid doubly But Vengeance always comes back tenfold he then tells him to remember the name Chong Mayan from the mount HCT because
one day he'll pay for this kindness he starts to leave saying that now he's going but then he quickly returns turns and asks which direction Mount HOA is a second later birds fly off as he races through the forest the problem is he's getting exhausted while remembering that in his past life he was faster than a horse after pushing himself he collapses On the ground like an idiot his heart nearly exploding this D child's body couldn't keep moving for even 15 minutes at this rate he'll die before he even gets close to mount Hua with
his face buried in the ground he wonders how he's going to reach the shangi sect hen starts to smile and says that it's time to use the great intellect of Master Chong Mayan now he's excited saying that this is an incredible opportunity even those who reach the peak of Mastery have Many regrets one of his was because he was always lazy when he was younger he never listened to the elders and was always dragged to the training grounds because all he wanted to do was Escape besides that he used to steal his teachers drinks which
made them furious with him however that was something he didn't intend to change in this life he then had sort a tree saying that in the end it's just about starting over first he needed a place without distractions And this seemed to be good enough he sits in front of the tree while trying to remember what the right technique for this situation would be he knew countless ways to increase his energy and many others went beyond the knowledge of Mount HOA however he wasn't sure which one was best to learn first then he remembers a
technique called the six elements a cheap text sold for five coins in Street shops known for being a poor quality however it was anything but A bad technique the six elements was the first thing the Disciples of Mount Hua learned it wasn't extraordinary in any way but it allowed the practitioner's body to be purified it was a fundamental technique for those who were in no rush perfect for someone looking to build an extremely solid foundation slowly he begins Gathering energy in his body the strange Roots rise through him as he manages to purify the sky
little by little he gathers this purified energy In the center of his body that small point of power was the beginning of his entire journey in this life he then stands up saying that this seed will be the beginning to create the Unstoppable Avalanche but as he stands he collapses to the ground like an idiot realizing that he spent all the energy he had just to do that he remembers brother Jamon always saying that his problem was not using his head properly lying on the ground he wonders how he'll make it to Mount haa at
this pace the scene shifts to a bustling City the boys run into an alley and call for their brother warning him that there's another beggar asking for money so they're running out of coins which a very young boy and everyone was giving him money because of it the Mohawk guy stands up saying he'll have to show how things work in this area the guy gets excited and tells everyone to follow a little later a small boy is shown in the corner of a Wall eating obviously it was Chong mayong the guys shout at him and
tell him to stop pretending he doesn't hear them our boy looks back back and ask if they're talking to him the Mohawk guy says of course there since no one else is around and asks if he wants to die he warns him that he should know he can't beg in other people's territory so it's better for him to hand over everything he has including the food in his hand CH Mayan looks at his hand and says they're A bunch of greedy Scoundrels because they even want what he's already bitten into the guys crack their Knuckles
saying he deserves a lesson however Chang mayang just stands up throws a small punch and says he's fine he looks at the guys and warns them that he's not very strong yet but it's enough he hadd already gotten used to this body and didn't have time to waste so they should all come at him at once the beggar almost explodes with rage saying he had Thought about going easy on him but he changes his mind and tells everyone to finish off the kid the first one stretches out his arm to throw a punch but Chong
Mayan easily Dodges he looks at him clenches his fist and hits him on the cheek the guy flies away and our boy asks if they know who he is he the master of the blossoming blade known as Chong mayong of the great Mount HCT with that the fight ensues and after some time they end up apologizing our boy Tells them not to call him sir because he's just a beggar too the guy calls him a beggar and our boy asks what kind of disrespect that is after a while he says whatever an asks what the
fastest way to shanki is the guy says that's an easy question but if they were smart they wouldn't be begging on the streets Jong mayang laughs saying that makes total sense they all laugh at each other until he grabs him by the collar and tells him that the next time they meet he better Have learned some geography of this place if in the future he asks something and doesn't know the answer he'll suffer a lot of pain at that moment the beggars all run off as Chong mayang tells them to scram the scene shifts to
the sunset between the mountains an old man observes the landscape when someone calls for the sect leader the person introduces himself as UNAM and the leader tells him to come in he appears apologizing but says that there's a Child wanting to see the leader the man is confused but looks to see who's asking for him he said his name was Chong mayang and his desire was to join the mount HCT the old man seemed very confused by the boy's requests and asks UNAM if he didn't tell the child that they weren't accepting any more disciples
un replies that he did but the boy desperately insisted on seeing the leader AR Chong mayang stood there with a smile on his face but the truth is he Was dying of anger over what had just happened a little earlier he had finally reached the entrance to mount HOA the dam Beggars had given him a useless shortcut but in the end he managed to find it now the hardest part was beginning climbing to the sect he climbed the stairs scaled the mud and then had to climb the mountain it was a path he had taken
countless times before but now with this body it wasn't easy at all yet he was determined and he finally Reached the top of Mount haa how however he was met with something that left him confused in front of the sect there wasn't even a sign with the name of the place he remembered that brother Chong Mayan used to clean that cursed name every morning he had barely arrived and already couldn't believe the state of the sect just then the door begins to open and someone asks who he is it was who M who found it
strange that a child had shown up there he immediately wanted To know how he managed to climb the mountain on his own the protagonist ignores the question and says he wanted to know something was the man standing in front of him a disciple of the mount HCT the man replies that he was and our boy is excited that they weren't completely extinct the man then says he can come in if he wants and our boy is a bit confused on him explains that they don't accept visitors but it's too late for him to climb back
down the mountain At least he would have a place to stay since the nights in the region were cold but the moment he stepped inside he was shocked by what he saw the training ground once an incredible marble Arena was now just a bare field Lam asks what's wrong and smiling he says he's just admiring the incredible training area of this sect but when he looks to the side he sees something else that doesn't make sense the Palace of the heavens building that used to be right Next door had also disappeared playing dumb he remarks
how strange it was to have a staircase leading nowhere and asks what happened UNM explains that the elders say there used to be a palace in that spot long ago John Mayan thinks to himself that he knows there was a palace he wants to know how it disappeared ANM says a child wouldn't understand but The Disappearance was like a glorious battle scar our boy remarks to himself that there's nothing glorious about it the Elder asks what he said and he replies nothing with that on him leads the way saying he'll show him where he'll be
staying as they walk Chong maong thinks that it must have been difficult to keep the sect going all these years they arrive at the Jade Temple and our boy is relieved that at least that was still intact Anam begins to open the door and says that at Mount HOA they follow the path of righteousness that's why first you must show respect to those who came Before him however as soon as he steps inside he's shocked again two things that were supposed to be here had vanished a candle and a golden pot gifted by Emperor jyn
as well as a handmade scroll from the ancestors and a golden dragon pieace but now all the treasure of that place had disappeared he gets closer and wonders if there wasn't supposed to be a flower there fun him is confused and asks how he knows that he comes thoughtful and says there Really used to be a cherry blossom made of metal in that spot excited Chong mayong then wants to know what happened to it anim says of course they sold it it wasn't useful for anything and it didn't fit with the Aesthetics of the place
so when a merchant made a good offer they sold it the protagonist remembers Jamon and says unfortunately this was the end of the mount HCT the pedal of the night blooming fragrance had disappeared along with all the Treasures of the sect and the worst part was that the idiots in this place had sold something like that for money UNAM approaches and asks if he's all right while Chong mayang tells himself he has to fix this mess as soon as possible at that moment he kneels down and says he has a request he wanted to become
a disciple of the mount HCT returning to the present the SE leader asks why he wants to join and if he knows what kind of place this is our boy just says yes He knows he's certain it won't be easy to be accepted but he already knows exactly what he's going to tell him he remembers a member named Jam Jing who disappeared during the war he's going to say that this man was found on the mountain by someone passing by the man saved him and as a token of gratitude he taught him the martial techniques
of Mount haah and he cha Wang is a descendant of the man who saved him with that story he would be a direct disciple Of one of the sex great members putting him on equal standing with the leader this was because he didn't want to start from scratch in this place so he was eager to be rejected and tell his little story however the leader says he accepts and he doesn't reject him at that moment the protagonist is a bit confused he asks why and the old man says he seems e eager to join so
how could he refuse anim says that's strange because they haven't been accepting new members but The Elder says he's changed his mind Destiny for him worked in mysterious ways Chang mayang is wondering why this old man isn't suspicious of him a complete stranger however the Elder simply says that regardless of the intent the boy seems to have come to mount HOA for a reason they never refused A bird seeking Shelter From the rain and always shared their food in winter so they could never reject a child in this situation he then tells Him to show
The Boy The Beginner's room and begin the ceremony but mayang wasn't happy about this at all in this way his incredible position in the SE had just been destroyed the next scene shows him wearing the robe a uniform for third grade disciples but looking around he wonders why he's in one of the rooms that used to be used for rituals it didn't seem like just a temporary place in the old mount hoah it wasn't like this as disciples would receive a mentor And go live with them he walks around trying to understand the place better
when someone shouts asking who he is the protagonist turns around and a boy appears asking why he was spying on other people's rooms and if he was some kind a bandit suddenly other disciples start appearing and someone asks jel what's going on he says he caught this kid snooping around the senior brother's room while our protagonist wonders why he always ends up in strange situations Like this out of nowhere another person shows up and asks what all the no is about and why they're causing a ruckus in the dormatory when they should be busy training
everyone immediately bows and apologizes to the great brother the guy asks our protagonist who he is to which he responds that he's Chan Wayan the man says he' heard that a new nness was coming and tells him to rest for now but tomorrow he'll have to train hard with that he tells everyone to rest and They all shout in agreement Jill glances back and gives jong mayong a cold stare warning him that he'll see him later to teach him some manners Jang Mayan is flustered thinking that these damn Juniors needed someone to look after them
he intended to take care of all of them in a warm manner but that was their problem the scene then shifts to jel telling him to take off his robe our boy asks what he's talking about and jel repeats that he wants him to take off All his clothes he was about to suffer some humiliation and get involved in a fight as that was the initiation ritual there the protagonist remains silent for a moment and then says he wants to ask something first he wanted to know if senior brother unjo knew about all of this
jel responds that the senior brother doesn't come at night and asks if he's looking for a beating to start obeying our boy then simply calls out to senior brother and tells him to clench His jaw when juel is about to ask why a punch is already flying toward his face the other disciples look stunned as juel is left hanging from the ceiling the protagonist asks what's the deal with beating him to teach him a lesson and warns that's exactly what he's going to do with that a brawl breaks out in the sect the scene then
shifts to him calling for senior brother UNAM telling him to give him a proper massage while unram apologizes saying he'll do his Best he then calls for Joe giel and tells him to stop trembling and come closer he has some questions to ask since he's new to the sect and the boy says he'll answer everything our boy wants to know what happened to the Golden Palace and why the mount hsct went bankrupt Jo says he'll explain and asks if he's heard of the master of the blossoming blade Jan mayang says yes because after all that's
him the boy then explains that this is what all the Senior Brothers talk about the master of the blossoming blade was the one who killed John M the leader of the Demonic cult after the leader's death the remaining members of the Demonic cult decided to attack Mount HOA the sect was completely destroyed and hasn't recovered to this day sha mang is shocked and wonders if his failure in that battle was what led to the entire Mount HK being destroyed we then see a flashback of a conversation between Chong mayang and the SE leader first they
discussed some techniques and Chong mayang suggested throwing them out because they were useless Jamon stared at him and said it was a good idea and they continued talking a little later during the discussion Jamon mentioned that it wasn't just for that reason that he had called Chong Mayan he then said he believed it was time for Chong mayang to accept an apprentice he asked how he would managed to teach his techniques to A first disciple Chang mayang clenched his fist and said that would be easy he would beat the boy until he learned eventually after
being beaten enough he would start to understand something after that Jamon never mentioned the idea of him taking an apprentice again at that moment someone calls him senior brother Junior from his bed he tells them not to be so formal and just call him Junior brother then they inform him that senior brother UNAM wants to see Everyone at the training field soon everyone is outside with their swords in hand Unum tells them to raise their swords and deliver the first strike they all perform the first strike while on the side Nam stands with Chong mayang
observing everything however our boy looks confused and asks what they call that technique Nam says the name of the technique is the true six elements sword technique it was a basic blade skill considered the foundation of all Techniques in Mount haa but of course Chang mayang knew that this was far from being the foundation of Mount HOA they were trying to teach philosophy to someone who didn't even know the alphabet this type of training would give them a quick Advantage for a short period but what was a true martial artist without a solid foundation and
even worse the person demonstrating the technique wasn't doing it correctly he raises his head and looks at the sky Seeing that it was clear and empty just like the future of Mount HOA he didn't even know where to start fixing something like this he then calls to the boy beside him who jumps in Surprise and asks what it is sha Mayan wants to know what else they're learning in this place the boy explains that after this technique they would learn the sword technique of the seven sages and after that they'd move on to the blossom
Hall and study the clarity of the sword Technique Jang Mayan doesn't seem excited about any of this the boy continues saying that after that they would learn the Pinnacle of Mount H's martial arts the great sword pacification technique however our board remembers that Chong mayang had kept that technique a secret because it wasn't effective enough it was exactly the technique that he had told them to discard and remove from the library but now the trash he had ordered to be Thrown away was being considered the Pinnacle of this place he wanted to know what had
happened to the plum blossom technique of 24 strikes the instructor continues scolding them telling them to take the training seriously the scene then shifts to night time and our boy calls for brother jel jel asks what it is and our boy says he already told him to relax he then says he has a favorite ask and tells juel to gather everyone at 5:00 a.m. in the training Hall besides That there were a few things he needed to prepare he starts listing some items saying he wants five of them for each person a little while later
Jill asks if he's sure about this Jong Mayan Just Smiles and asks if jel thinks he won't be able to do it of course the boy says he can manage it without any problem our boy then tells him to go and says how much he loves how helpful he is but our protagonist remains there thinking at the moment Mount haah had no money no Techniques and no Talent no one in the world would be surprised if they closed down tomorrow and right now the only thing he can contribute is Talent the problem is that the
third class disciples are far from being extraordinary martial artists however in the end a great SE isn't built in a day he's going to have to use these amateurs to restore Mount hul to its former glory everyone sleeps and wakes up at 5:00 a.m. naturally they're all Angry wanting To know why they're following the orders of that Dan junor they asked the seniors how long this was going to keep happening and two think to themselves that everyone knows they all got beaten just then our boy shows up and asks if anyone was talking about him
everyone is immediately startled at the sight of him however one of them gathers the courage to ask who he thinks he is to gather everyone there at 5:00 a.m. our boy stays silent for a second and tells the Brothers not to be so mad he then apologizes and says that he really forgot to consider everyone's feelings he personally wanted to apologize so maybe they could talk a little inside he leaves everyone who didn't feel like training into a room and closes the door outside the others are confused about what's happening then suddenly the whole house
begins to shake gel noticed the movement it seems sudden but it was clear something was happening a second Later everyone comes running out terrified a formal line in Chong mayang says that now they seem motivated he then announces that starting that day physical training would begin at 5:00 a.m. for everyone he calls them all useless senior Brothers the sun begins to rise lenon wakes up in his room and wonders why none of the disciples had come to greet him this could only mean that everyone was still asleep it was probably because of the new disciple
They must have been fooling around all night he steps out of his room saying he'll have to teach everyone a lesson he thought Yan Jong would keep the place in order but apparently not that's when he gets confused everyone is exhausted and collaps on the ground he wants to know why all those kids look like a bunch of old men immediately he shouts asking what happened there and what all this mess was about the people stare at each other and onim realizes they're Hesitating to answer his question who had left them so scared that they
were even afraid to respond to him the scariest part however was that joil was also lying there completely worn out but right in front of him was the new member Chia mayong was there squatting with two giant rocks he exhales and lifts them again he had already done 10,065 repetitions that's when our boy exhausted also notices yim's presence he greets him with a good morning while ym Watches not understanding what's happening he could see that the boy was on the verge of exhaustion but for some reason he managed to stay standing he immediately orders someone
to fetch water but Chang mayang says he's fine he drinks a little and then UNAM tells him to tell the truth what happened in that place the protagonist says it was nothing serious they just woke up a little earlier to do a bit of training and strangely everyone was so motivated That they decided to stay a little longer Lam finds it odd that these lazy disciples were so eager to train but when he looks back he sees that the guys were afraid and he soon realizes that the reason for all this was Chong mayong how
they call themselves Disciples of the mount HCT when they were being beaten by a child like him he should give him a little lesson he then tells our boy that the white blossom Hall also has its own rules and asks who gave them Permission to sleep less and wake up early to train with a clueless expression Chang mayong says that if that's the case they'll stop training then unim is confused by this reaction he needed to make it clear that this damn kid had threatened his seniors he looks at our boy who seemed all innocent
he didn't know how to handle this because it would make everyone in the mount who aect look like fools you enough to make it clear to everyone that This kid who had a rag yesterday had beaten of all the third class disciples which would make the teachers look like the biggest fools while he didn't know what to say Chan maong asks for one month that's all he wanted to train with everyone in that time he guaranteed they'd see an incredible difference besides he was only proposing this because the seniors seemed strangely motivated they had been
training hard yet no one had complained he shouts if Everyone agrees and the others simply say yes at that moment onean realizes that the boy had somehow made sure no one told the truth but where did they find a kid like this as soon as he arrived he had already dominated all the third class disciples and was even making them train hm then says the training must also be difficult for him so why was he so eager to wake up early in train xang mayang replies that although they can learn a lot they can Still
push themselves harder to improve faster every minute spent in bed is a minute less spent training with those words wam understood that the boy meant that no one needed a reason to train harder he then ask the boy what the most important part of the relationship with older brothers is our boy says it's respect of course and swears he will always obey the commands of the senior Brothers the leader is starting to realize that the boy is smart and won't Want to humiliate him in any way to maintain the hierarchy of the place unfortunately he
admits that the boy is clever he then turns around shouting to everyone how amazing it was that they had volunteered to train so early he was extremely impressed with everyone if they kept training like that he was sure they become stronger than ever however that wasn't what the group was hoping for and they ask for help but linam runs off immediately leaving them behind Jong Mayong tightens his fist and asks what kind of help they were asking for how could they dare to say something like that when it was clear he wasn't there to harm
anyone he then asks if they could have another conversation inside in the next scene they are already getting beaten up several days pass in the sect our protagonist continues practicing his energy center was still weak and small but it was finally starting to form during this time he's Also learning more and more about what happened to mount HOA the reason the davor system had been created was because they no longer had enough trainers moreover the sect leader and the two masters were very kind people they had great intentions but they were incredibly weak their strength
was pathetic compared to even a disciple from the sect 100 years ago and naturally as a consequence the third class disciples were also terrible but The question remains why would that matter after all Chong mayang was here now Mount huo would rise again as the number one sect in this land that was his ultimate goal the scene shifts to the dining hall a boy tries to grab some food but his hand hurts so much that he ends up dropping it he says that training hard is good but they at least need the energy to be
able to eat he didn't tell tells jel to talk to the boy and ask him to go easier on the training No one has been able to use their chopsticks for days but jel just replies that he doesn't have time to listen to those endless complaints and asks if he's their messenger boy he says that whoever wants to go against Chong mayang should speak to him directly he then stands up and says he wants to talk to Yan Jong for a bit walking outside Yan Jong comments that he seems relieved by everything Jill just responds
by asking what he thinks about Mount HOA Yan Jong Is a bit confused and says that's a tough question Jill says that he could go back to his family any time but he knew that Yan jong's goal was to live in this sect Yan Jong agrees and they both fall silent giel then says that before he thought the mount who had no future his friend says that's a crazy thing to say and shouldn't be mentioned to anyone however jel says his mind has changed the future he saw for the SE had shifted since Shong Wayan's
arrival even though It was forced he finally understood the importance of those early morning training sessions he realized that he had never trained so hard to the point of pushing himself to his limits on the other hand that kid kept training even harder for longer and didn't seem to get tired see him so dedicated made Jill want to give his best in this place too he then turns and says that from today he's going to give 100% of himself to become a true martial artist Yan Jong Smiles and says he feels the same way meanwhile
our boy was up in a tree listening to everything thinking that he had already bagged two of them their trainer hadn't caused too much trouble either but the journey was still long that's when someone bangs on the sex door demanding that the leader come out Chan Mayan is confused while someone yells to open the door immediately someone kicks the door and tells one of the disciples to fetch the leader before Anyone can respond they start barging into the sect unen and unju look a bit embarrassed as the men begin invading from above Chang May on
is confused wondering who these people are the group says they've been waiting there for a long time and are losing patience they want to know when they're finally going to be paid back at that moment our boy realizes he has yet another problem to solve yet had known these bastards were so deep in debt he stands in front of The leader's house and asks if he isn't ashamed demanding that he come out immediately the door opens and the leader steps outside SE mayong watches from the side observing everything the Elder greets everyone and asks what
brings them there so late at night our boy finds it interesting and quickly understands why this man is the new leader every movement and word he used had a certain air of wisdom it was a subtle way of showing that he was Clearly trying to stall the conversation with these men then the Pavilion leader mang gong clears his throat and says that it seems the sect leader is doing quite well the Elder responds that he never imagined the great owner of the Pavilion would come all the way there he says it's a shame they have
to meet under such circumstances he regrets having to CL Mount Hua but hopes they understand why he had to come there he says the sect leader must be aware of The situation they're in because the date they had promised has long passed they had favored Mount haa for a long time and never sought compensation all these years as promised they were the most lenient they could be and for that reason they were giving them seven days if they didn't repay their debts they would take all of Mount H's land immediately someone shouts and everyone looks
back the men apologize saying that one of the young apprentices shouldn't Have had to witness something like this later the group explains to our boy that these people are from the Hua and prefecture Johan Mayan is lost in thought while the young boy is looking for a chance to escape before he gets beaten again joil asks if this prefecture is located just below Mount Hua and the boy confirms he then asks if that means the merchants of Mount Hua borrowed money from the people in this prefecture the boy says he has no idea But has
heard of money on gong as far as he knows he's the owner of the H and Pavilion the largest Tavern in that City our boy recognizes the name of the Pavilion and asks if he's the leader of that place the two boys are shocked and tell him to calm down as they see him cracking his neck that's because he knows very well that the Taio Pavilion always belonged to the Mount HCT he grabs the boy by the collar and ask if the people from The Pavilion lent money To mount haa and now that they haven't
paid it back they're trying to take the place the boy just confirms it but to Chong My Own none of this makes sense first it's absurd that mount Hua would borrow money from The Pavilion when the Pavilion belongs to mount Hua clearly something went very wrong in the past he then calls for Joe gel who's startled he tells him that thing he mentioned earlier he wants him to bring it now Joel is confused but Chong mayang orders Him to bring it immediately Joel runs off saying he's on it he brings the robe and asks why
he wants it our boy then says that the Buddhists have a saying sometimes to meet Buddha you must kill him which means that sometimes you need to go against The Virtuous path to find true Enlightenment now dressed in the robe he says he's seeking to follow that teaching the two boys are shocked and ask if he's thinking about leaving the sect in a second he's already jumping Over the wall he looks down at the city and in the middle of the Pavilion some men are laughing saying that it seems the leader was left speechless they
amuse themselves saying they've finally given their final ultimum n goo says they deserve it especially since they've already taken more than 100,000 coins for him they tell gong that the leader couldn't even respond properly gong smiling says that even though he's a merchant who loves money it still Saddens him to destroy a place that meant so much to his ancestors the man in the blue robe says he shouldn't worry about that since the final deadline had already been extended for a long time he's sure the entire city will appreciate how lenient he's been gong just
thinks to himself that it must be nice to live life with such a simple mind no one there knew it but Mount hul was still a major influence that's because the power of the sect didn't lie In its martial arts but in the Legacy it built over the years it's harder to find anyone in the shanki region who doesn't know the history of that sect however little by little he's been gaining enough strength to finally put an end to them like a du being slowly cooked the time had come to finish them off one of
the men then asks what gong is going to do with Mount H's location as it would be easy to sell such a place the man's name is jongen Yu and he suggest it Might be smarter to ask for something else's payment but gong says that the place has much more value than they can perceive even though it was just an abandoned place it still carry tremendous value the mum seem to understand why and gong begins to get angry he then sets his chopsticks down on the table and says that he hadn't planned on revealing his
plan so soon he tells them to think as if they were enemies of Mount HOA how interested Would they be in paying to erase the legacy of that sect no one had to worry because they would certainly make a huge profit from this investment one of them stands up and says it's a brilliant plan adding that they'll have to celebrate Mr gong later Json is heading home saying that it was an incredible night he was going to make a lot of money from the downfall of Mount Hawa and he's certain he can trust gone he
looks up searching for the moon and wonders why it's not in The sky meanwhile Chong mayang is just watching then jongen stops seemingly seeing something ahead of him as his vision clears it's our boy standing still and telling him to stay very quiet jongen finds it strange that there's such a small and skinny little thief in front of him what puzzles in more is why the boy is so conspicuous as if wants everyone to know he's a thief jongen crosses his arms and says the boy must be thinking of robbing him but Chong Mayan calmly
says he's not interested in money only in some answers Json says that normally he doesn't mind helping was kids but tonight the boy is out of luck that's because he's going to have to deal with the friends he brought along as he already knows how dangerous is to wander alone at night our boy immediately recognizes the men as Caravan guards one of them asks if they should kill the boy but jongen says it's unnecessary since he just wants to ask Him a few questions he turns around hearing the sound of a fight and says it
seems everything's going well but strangely there were a lot of fighting noises and he starts to wonder what's going on then he hears a bang behind him he turns telling the men to go easier on the boy but someone apologizes it's Chong mayang who had already taken everyone out Chang mayang says he only wanted to talk but people were being rather impolite he then tells jongen to Come closer once again he tells him that if he answers he won't get beaten and Json immediately agrees Jan mayong grabs him by the collar and says that now
they can start with the lesson he had offered not to give him a beating but Json refused so now he's going to take a few hits but no worries he'll still be able to talk once it's over a moment later and the poor man is all swollen talking nonsense Jong mayong warns him that if he doesn't speak properly he'll get Beaten again he then asks what's the deal with Mount hubar and 100,000 coins and the man just confirms it's true our boy thinks for a moment and draws Jen's attention he knows that if jongen sold
everything he had he wouldn't be able to gather 10,000 coins let alone 100,000 so how did he and this group of merchants from this failing City manage to lend 100,000 coins to mount HOA Json says he'll explain how interest Works basically even with a small initial debt They created an incredible Snowball Effect our boy punches him in the head telling him not to be proud of something like that he then asks if Json owns the linen shop and the man confirms it Johan Mayon wants to know when he bought the shop and jnon looks confused
he explains that the linen shop has belonged to his family for Generations but once again that makes no sense because the linen shop also belongs to the Mount HCT the truth is every major business in the Hua Being prefecture belongs to the sect that's because the city Only grew thanks to the presence of Mount Hua just above the mountain the sect had entrusted the merchants with managing things but apparently these bastards have been stealing everything from them at that moment someone calls him a coward a man appears calling him a Shameless little thief and orders
him to reveal himself our boy however is confused by this talk of a sneak attack especially since he Had been standing right in front of everyone he lets go of jungson and asks why the man is so interested in knowing who he is the man says he demands to know the name of anyone before cutting him down with his blade Chan Wong just asks if the guy hadn't just been knocked out the man starts getting angry with his damn kid he draws his blade and charges toward him telling him to get ready Chong mayang calmly
watches he had much more K speed and physical strength Than the man but did that mean the man was weaker of course not because strength and speed were far from the best way to measure someone's power Chang mayang throws the sword into his hand and deflects the attack with his shoulder the man is utterly confused as Chong mayang remembers a lifetime's worth of memories with a blossoming BL a if he doesn't have physical strength in a child's body he just needs to use the opponent's strength as his own he then Redirects the impact back and
the man is thrown far away at that moment Chang mayang extends his arm and draws his blade a few pedals appear around him and he tells the man he still has a lot to learn he appears behind the man using the double Blossom sword technique the poor guy falls to the ground unconscious but then he hears someone in awe and he realizes he made a mistake he' had forgotten about Json and clearly saw him using that technique and worse with that Dumbstruck expression on his face maybe he had recognized it jongen then says that these
refined attacks this Marshall Mastery and that incredible tie he was sure of something startable our boy thinks it couldn't be that Json had figured it out and then Json asks if he's a member of the zongman sect Jan mayang is momentarily silent confused but then agrees saying that's exactly right he's a member of the great jnan sect Json then says he'll now tell him Everything he wants to know and our boy just thanks him back at the sect Jan mu and Yan Jong are pacing back and forth wondering why Chong Mayan had returned Jong moo
says it was crazy to let him go out like that but he's sure the boy will come back unless something bad happens to him just then the door starts to open and Chong mayang asks if anything happened while he was gone J however says that're the ones who should be asking him what happened for him to Disappear like that he simply responds that it was nothing serious and that he even made a little extra money at that moment he remembers jongon asking if he was from the zongman sect even though it was good that his
identity wasn't discovered in some way it still stun a bit even the signature technique of Mount hoah the blossoming technique was mistaken for another sex technique juel then asks what he was doing out there our boy just responds that kids don't Need to know they get angry saying that he's a kid too Jang mayang tells them to gather everyone because they need to train jel is confused especially since it's night time but our boy tells him to listen up saying that whether it rains or shines day or night or even snows they wouldn't miss a
single day of training Jo starts getting excited saying he's looking forward to today's training he says he'll gather everyone and asks if Chong mayang is going to Join them but Chong mayang says not today as he has other things to do Jong says they can only train properly when he's around they could try training alone but they know that without him there no one would take it seriously however the protagonist simply says he already knows that and tells them to go gather everyone he then Falls onto his bed wondering what to do next the situation
was complicated as the city Merchants were trying to take the place And the documents that prove Mount H's ownership of the businesses had probably been lost a long time ago when the sect was attacked he could just invade the city and beat everyone up but that would only worsen Mount who's reputation so things couldn't be solved that way he needed a justification to prove they were the rightful owners of this land the problem was how to find something like that he rememb seen Jamon filling out the records of who owned those Properties but when he
opened the door Jamon seemed to be filling out only a few he finds it strange that there were so few records and is certain that Jamon must have been hiding them somewhere else it was impossible that everything Mount HOA owned could fit on so few sheets of paper that means there's likely some kind of Vault that only the leader can access he recalls hearing rumors that such a thing existed and the entrance was probably near the leader's House that place hadn't changed at all since the past but considering that everyone there was a martial artist
it had to be near the leader's house however it was something difficult to locate and the only way to do so was through an underground base apparently he was going to have to embark on a treasure hunt he then opens the door and jumps out of his room apologizing to jangan for what he's about to do he says he won't even touch any of the treasure And will'll take it straight to the leader or maybe that's a promise he won't be able to keep the scene changes to a flash of light in the middle of
the mountains our boy lying on the ground saying he's exhausted he had underestimated how big the mountain was searching from place to place especially using that kind of technique he concentrates energy into his palms and slams it into the ground with that he can feel how the soil resists his energy He doesn't know exactly where the vault is but he sure it's somewhere nearby however time passes and he becomes exhausted without finding anything but still he tries again and again until suddenly he feels something strange he sends out another energy impact and grabs the pickaxe
declaring that he's found it now all he has to do is dig and uncover this damn treasure after some time he finally discovers a concrete ceiling however he finds it impossible That the treasure is hidden behind something so easy to break he pulls out one of the blocks and sees that it's actually a corridor this was the path to the real Vault but then he hears footsteps a sec leader is approaching Jang mayang watches silently and realizes the leader already knows the vault's location the leader arrives in front of the door and Chong maang imagines
that this must be the entrance to the Vault however he only sees the Leader with his hand trembling in front of the door as he observes the leader's hesitation Chong mayang finally understands what's happening the leader wasn't showing the secret of how to open the door in reality this was the image of a man who could do nothing Mount hul was on the brink of Extinction and its martial power was steadily diminishing running a place that no longer had any resources must have been difficult even for a leader like him he had a witness Day
by Day the place he had dedicated his entire life to slowly fall apart it was painful to imagine how difficult it had been for him to see this every day but a leader could never dishearten others so he had to appear strong for the sake of all the disciples and that's why this was the only place where he could show a little sadness a while later the Sun finally Rises xang mayang jumps into the tunnel and says that part of this is still his fault but it wasn't Too late yet first he had to get
through this damn door he approaches places his hand on it and sends out an energy impact however it's immediately repelled he recognizes the material as Millennium metal and knows it's impossible to break through with Brute Force now he understands why the sect leader stood there with no hope of opening it the problem is that he also can't cut through this metal but then he remembers that Jam's tray level wasn't enough to Do something like this either if a leader can get in then there must be another way to open it something catches his attention and
he begins to examine the pattern on the door it's actually sword marks the pattern of cuts from the 24 blossoming blade technique he starts to realize that several of Mount H's techniques were blended into it but he knows that this can only be done with the Violet Don Kai he would need to perform several techniques one after the Other with extreme Precision that's how the do is opened but why did they create it this way in a way the understands how it works but now there's one more problem how can he use all these techniques
in his past life it wouldn't have been an issue now he's just a weak child even though he knows every form of the attack he doesn't have enough shy or physical strength to execute each cut he starts adjusting his hair saying he didn't want to have to do this he slaps His stomach and says it looks like he's going to have to start a month-long vacation you would need to use just a bit of this he then begins to tap into his trinate Kai this was the energy humans are born with and used to sustain
their lives using this energy was like using a bit of his lifespan but he had no choice suddenly a purple Aura starts surrounding his body he points his sword saying he only has one chance with a single opportunity he had to open this Door the problem was that many of these techniques he hadn't even tried using with his body but there was no time to wait as his Sky was already being consumed he then sends out the first cut spits blood and says his body is getting heavier feeling the limits of his energy but now
he couldn't stop he uses the first form of the six elements executes the 24 blossoming blade techniques and says he cannot break the chain he continues linking with one technique to The next and gradually stars form on the door finally he collapses to the ground as the entire door shines he gets up asking if it worked if this didn't succeed there was nothing else he could try but suddenly he starts hearing a sound a wind blows and the door begins to open however poor Chong mayang is just coughing up blood on the floor now because
of this he'll have to take it easy for a few months but this is the kind of thing he has to do if he wants To save the mount HCT the door begins to open and he smiles saying he's going to take a look at what jamman had been hiding finally he's in inside and sees three shelves he finds it strange that there were all these books and nothing else but considering they use Millennium acid it's understandable why it's so small he remembers jamman always complaining about finances so now it's time to see where the
money went Heen pulls out the first book and is Immediately impressed because it contains everything the sect owns these were perfect copies of all the official materials now those Merchants were definitely screwed however looking around he finds it strange that there are only financial books in this entire place he was hoping to find some money to buy good food and drink some but since there was none of that he pulls out another book saying he'll take a quick look before leaving he then sees That these are Toms of techniques and he wonders if the people
hadn't already learned them but that's when he realizes that none of these techniques are currently taught in Mount HOA that's because they were sealed in this place with no one able to access them he imagines that Jamon hesitated to teach these techniques to Future Generations which is why he stored them here normally Jamon was a man filled with inner conflict the first shelf reflected His responsibilities within the sect while the second showed the love and compassion he had for everyone but now now Jamon didn't need to worry because Chong mayang would restore the sect to
its former glory and after that they would move forward and surpass what they once were however that's when he notices something strange on the Shelf beside him there was only a peculiar scroll sitting on top he pulls it down and begins to read it says that this was Meant only for the sect leader if someone was reading this scroll it meant that the next leader had already been chosen sometimes a few lines said more than countless words could and for that reason he decided to leave his thoughts in this book although the SE leader holds
the title they don't Di at the future of Mount hoah the new leader must have already realized that the future of the sect is decided by the younger generation within it the leader's job is To encourage the new members so that they can find the new path for the sect he pleads with the leader to abandon the burdensome idea that the future depends on them Mount Hua will always remain Mount HOA it's a force in spirit that cannot be led or wielded and even if the future is full of Fortune or disaster it will simply
continue being the same place but one thing that wouldn't change over the Millennia was that they would always need to guide the disciples and Fulfill their duties that was the heavy burden he was leaving for the next leader of Mount HOA Jang y puts the scroll away and thinks that the old man was always like this however he's annoying because there should be much more in this place he starts to leave thinking that at least the scriptures would help deal with the merchants but he decides to wait for a moment the layout of the place
seems a little strange to him JN Yun had a sort of Quirk where even the lamps had to be asymmetrically distant from him so why was that shelf strangely empty he leans on it and pulls it upward saying there's something more to this he throws it to the side and that's when the glow appears there was a hole that he knew there was another secret and as he descended it was there he finally found what he had been searching for piles and piles of gold bars precious weapons hung on the walls along with mysterious gems
And Tums of techniques he's already drooling saying that now he's finally rich meanwhile back at his house the new leader size saying that another day has begun warnings should bring hope but he only felt fear and bitterness there were only 5 days left until the deadline The Pavilion owner had given him but then someone shouts for him at the door immediately the leader rushes over and asks what's going on unim says he can't explain it it's something he has to see To believe the leader is startled by this and says it must be an emergency
for him to be so agitated they both run through the forest on the way he sees a bunch of disciples collapse in his Circle and asks what happened unim simply explains that they were voluntarily doing some new training the scene shifts to our boy sitting under a tree they call for Chong Mayan asking where he's been at that moment he appears and says he's right there the Leader is shocked and asks what happened to him for him to look so worn out our boy just responds that it's not important and tells him to take a
look at something the Elder wonders what could be so urgent and then he's Blinded By The Gleam of light as our boy Smiles the property records the gold bars and the weapons Chong mayang says he found them by coincidence the leader wants to know how that's possible but Chong mayong says he's too tired and needs to Sleep the Elder decides to let him go figuring he can ask later but he still can't believe there are piles and piles of gold bars in front of him and even more precious than that appeared to be the items
in the Box the property records of Mount Hua and the huan prefecture he hesitantly touches the documents afraid of tearing something and ruining everything but as he opens them he's completely relieved saying that these really are the city's records And he collapses onto the floor he then wakes up in bed saying that he also saw the record of the seven blossoming blades and he realizes he had been dreaming like a madman but then he shouts asking where the chest came from and someone confirms it we then see someone else examining the same records it's hay
on Yong the head of Mount who his finances he confirms that all those records were real additionally there were certificates of authenticity Beneath that TR treasure not to mention all the certificates have been issued by the government so it would be easy to verify they could easily use those to reclaim The Pavilion at any time they wanted plus the treasure itself was worth over 100,000 coins the leader feels relieved saying that they've finally been given a bit of luck or perhaps he doesn't fully understand how that strange child has brought so much Fortune to this
place it was as if the Embodiment of good times was walking around Mount haa however he stands up and says that if these records are indeed real there's a conversation that needs to happen he orders them to summon the ERS of the properties listed in the book to mount Hua immediately a few days later gong was climbing the mountain with everyone asking him to slow down a bit but he tells them to keep going because this would be the last time they'd have to climb that wretched Mountain Json grumbles saying he never wants to set
foot there again and doesn't want to even look at Mount Hua anymore the other Merchants wonder if the leader called them there because he managed to get the money but g at the front says 100,000 coins AR so easy to gather he's sure the leader is going to ask for more leniency cuz he hasn't been able to raise the money it was something impossible ible to do by the deadline they had given and that's why they Called them there some call the leader Shameless for summoning everyone when he's the one in debt however others say
that despite the sex decline the name of the great Mount HOA still commands respect jongs and wonders if they really can't pay especially considering that a disciple from the Zong and sect seem interested in Mount haa if he could get 5,000 gold coins he'd never have to work again but as all the merchants arrive in front of the sect they all feel the same Strange uneasiness it was an unsettling thought to be the ones to sever Mount Ho's future a SE that had protected the Hawaiian prefecture for centuries but they knew this and together they
walked into the place to collect the inflated debt Len welcomes them all and says the leader is ready to see them asking them to follow him the leader then appears standing face to face with all the merchants gong bows and says it's good to see the leader once again on the Other hand the leader thanks them for making the difficult journey to that place gong ever the false man says that while they are busy Merchants it must be even harder for him as a leader the leader Chuckles and says they must be exhausted from The
Climb asking if they' like some tea but gong interrupts call in for the leader and apologizes saying they're just simple Merchants but would like to discuss business first the leader apologizes for not considering Their valuable time and explains that the reason for calling them all here is to update them on Mount ho situation even though they had sent countless requests for help to everyone they knew no one was willing to extend a hand to the sect it was a shame but despite all their efforts they wouldn't be able to pay the debt within the time
given gong stands up and says they've already given Mount haa enough time they also have families to feed and can't keep Extending the deadline forever the second leader says that's precisely why he wanted to speak to everyone they wouldn't be able to pay the full amount now but they could at least make a partial payment he would like to know which of the merchants present would be willing to extend the repayment into the future he then bows and humbly asks them to show some mercy to mount haah the merchants begin murmuring amongst themselves as some
unexpected Developments begin to unfold our boy is watching everything from afar commenting that it's an interesting way to handle the situation is just not sure whether the leader's words are meant to Corner the merchants or if it's the Final Act of Mercy before launching an attack however it's clear that sect leader hyen Jong isn't as simple as he seems a sect leader must have a cold heart and a Firm Stance even though they were all practitioners of Mount HOA it was still A marshal sect and the leader needed to be able to calculate interests and
act accordingly sha way wanted to see if hayen Jong really had the coldness required of a SE leader gong smiles and says he already told him they can't extend the deadline any further but hay and Jong asks him not to misunderstand his words as he wasn't just speaking to gone he knows Mount H owes more than 100,000 coins but each Merchant is an individual with their own portion of That amount and that's why he wants to know who among them is personally willing to extend their portion for repayment in the future gong starts thinking that
this damn leader is desperate he then asks if should the others say they can't wait any longer he'll be able to pay them all the leader responds that mount H's reputation has fallen but they still managed to receive some help and have part of the amount of course they don't have the full 100,000 Coins to pay everything and that's why he asked them to show Mercy to mount Hua and allow them to gradually pay off the debt gong is about to say this is out of the question question but Json interrupts and asks if they
will be rewarded in any way if they extend the final deadline the leader says that's correct everyone starts murmuring thinking about whether or not they should extend the deadline the problem was that they knew it meant taking the Risk of never getting their money back janga then asks why they should do this the leader takes a deep breath looks at him and asks if the name of Mount Hua and the history of that place weren't enough to serve as a guarantee but gong Chuckles and then bursts out laughing calling for the sect leader saying he
was asking too much from everyone the leader remains silent and asks if gong truly thinks that what he's asking for is too much if that's the case he would Like to ask something of everyone he wants to know what Mount H represents to each of them if the name and history of that place don't at least deserve some consideration who there didn't take the sex name seriously and who would dare to disregard all the history they possessed the sect might have declined but it had always stood by the prefecture of huian they had always shared
Mount H's spirit and power with everyone in the city he wanted to know what Mount Hua Represented to each of them and ask them to carefully consider their answer gong pauses for a second and then says he has an idea he points to the side and says that those willing to extend the final deadline should stand over there but those who want to collect their money today should stand by his side he then turns around and warns them that each person is responsible for the choices they make and whoever chooses to extend the deadline will
no longer be Recognized as a merchant in the union he then tells them to be smart and make their choice quickly the merchants begin to think but no one seems to move the place falls into complete silence and gong starts laughing he asks the leader if he sees that unfortunately no one has any pity for that place but but then someone starts walking to the other side it's jongen and gong asks where he's going the leader simply watches the other Merchants want to know what this Means jongon just tells them to stop looking at him
like that admitting that he knows he's making a foolish Choice he tells gong that you would never understand because he's not a native of hu and prefecture gong had come to this place to take over businesses from others involved with him and that's why he doesn't understand what Mount Hua means everyone mourn in h and grows up hearing stories about Mount HOA they dream of joining the sect and becoming Sword Masters and even after realizing they didn't have Marshall talent in giving up that dream they learn about the efforts Mount Hua has made to protect
the shangi province gong doesn't understand what he's talking about but Json just says that gong wouldn't get it anyway it's something he learned from his father who learned it from his grandfather Mount Hua has always been the pride of huan and shanki for G it would be easy to take that money and Leave Haan because he could go to hamu and spend it somewhere else but Johnson wasn't going anywhere even if he had the money because he'd spent his whole life in Haan gong can't believe Json is giving up on making money for the rest
of his life because something like that and he warns him that he'll regret it jongen recalls that on the way up to mount hoah all he could think about was how great it would be to retire rich and now he was willing to give all that up When he was so close it was certainly a big mistake but he had his reasons he says he's already earned enough money to keep living if in the future he doesn't receive any more money he'll think of it as a small regret for not taking this chance but he
would forever regret it if you watch Mount who collapsed today because of a choice he made even if he earned enough money to last a lifetime that kind of Life wasn't n something he wanted to live gong just laughs and Tells him to do whatever he wants since apparently he's the only one who decided not to get paid but then someone asks who said it's just one person many other Merchants start walking over and stand by jong's inside gong can't believe it while ha and Jong watches everything unfold he lowers his head and says he's
fully satisfied to see that so many people still have a meaningful connection to that place he then tells vam to bring it over at that moment Onan Places a box on the ground containing all the records from a distance gong can already tell their property records of the prefecture the leader says that mount H has always shown benevolence to their ancestors for countless Generations but some here have decided to betray them instead of repaying those debts according to the property records Mount hoo will assumed control of all those businesses along with all the wealth they
had accumulated down to the Last coin at that moment the merchants who had decided to stay on the other side were all scared asking what he was talking about why was the leader taking everyone's business like that however ha on Jong simply says that it's exactly as he said suddenly gong starts laughing and says that this joke has gone too far the leader then tells gong that it's shameful for him to think he's there to joke around at this gong closes the book and says he understands like he wants to Know how they will prove
the validity of those accounting books once again the leader questions if he's implying that they forged the authenticity of those books gong says he would never imagine that mount HOA would do something like that however they need to be sure and they haven't been deceived the leader remains silent and then says he understands what gong means by that so he orders that the finance leader of the agency be brought there hi on Jan Appears saying that that the authenticity of those books is indeed something that needs to be considered the D Merchant celebrates saying that
if even the finance guy of this sex said so then gong must be right however hayan Jong then turns around and says there's a reason for that they already anticipated that something like this might happen that's why half of those books were sent to the prefecture 2 days ago at that moment gong realizes he's in Trouble while they were on their journey to mount H people were analyzing those books that means that by now most of their businesses must already be taken not to mention that 2 days is more than enough time for them to
complete the whole process the books at Mount H are just a few while the other half must have already been validated gong is about to explode and then shouts at the leader however hayan JN just tells him to lower his voice saying that he has no Right to shout in that place true friendship comes from helping others in times of need however they have no reason to be merciful to those who betrayed them when they needed them the most he tells everyone to return to Ho's prefecture because everything will already be resolved he warns that
if it had been done properly it would have taken everything however for each one's work they would be allowed to take only one cart with a few items G grits his Teeth in Rage and says he will never forget this he then turns around while the other Merchants just watch at that moment ha onj addresses those who did not abandon the sect until the very end nothing changes for their business except the fact that it now belongs to mount HOA they could continue managing it as always in keep the profits besides that he wanted to
discuss ways for both sides to profit and benefit everyone and then he asks everyone to come in Json However knows he's better off than gone but even so he went from being the owner of a shop to now being a simple employee of Mount haa and he wonders why his grandfather decided to do things this way however the scene shifts to Chan Wayan who is furious he's asking what kind of deal is this about letting them take a cart full of riches he says this leader is a coward and that he won't let that happen
in Mount H already outside the city gong and the other Merchants Are taking their loaded carts everyone is fuming with anger that's because as soon as they reached the city gate they were greeted by government soldiers if it hadn't been for the SE leader they really would have lost everything and now they are angry with gone because he made all this happen they ask gong how they're going to get out of this they tell him to stop being silent because everyone trusted his decisions however gong just turns around and asks why he's Being blamed for
all of this the fool remains silent for a moment and says that gong isn't the only one to blame but then gong stops he says there's no reason to be so stressed since they're only in this position temporarily he sure those damn books are fake and were forged by the leader one of the guys in the back however says they seemed legitimate and have been confirmed by the prefecture gong insists saying they must have set everything up the Prefecture and the represent resentatives there to steal his businesses however they would go to the city of
luang and talk to the owner there if the people from the city were using the authorities they would talk to someone even higher up but someone appears and says that he's talking nonsense boy it's our guy dressed like a bandit gong asks who said that and our guy coughs saying that as far as he knows he's the only one there but gong Is confused wondering who this Bandit is who walks like an old man then he says he knows he wants the riches in the carts but he better leave quickly or he'll lose his life
for nothing our guy hates being underestimated even more so because to him he's not stealing he's just taking back what belongs to mount Hua gong is confused about what wealth he's talking about and at that moment he realizes that he belongs to that Dan sect suddenly some guys start showing up And gong says it's the perfect time to get revenge a bunch of mercenaries jump toward Chong myong however he looks at them for a second and throws himself at them the first one finds himself face to face and gets hit on the head with a
Scabbard another on the chin and another on the forehead in a second they are all drawing the sky he stops in front of gong and says it's good for him to know until today no one has challenged his words and left with all their limbs Intact gong is confused as he didn't know that mount H still had a martial artist of this level he orders the useless ones to stand back then he tells our boy that he doesn't know where he came from however if he had been helping the sect they wouldn't be in their
current state but it was a Pity and he chose the wrong person to come for revenge and he warns that our boy will die at his hands and be used as a warning to that sect he activates his Energy saying that the leader will be very sad to know that someone like him died at gong's hands he runs toward him telling him to prepare himself Kong Mayan finds it very suspicious that a shop owner has so much martial energy however it's now time to get beaten up everywhere except in the mount since he needs to
be able to talk afterward the forest explodes and gong has his hands on the ground he surely didn't let his guard down and has already faced many Practitioners stronger than this guy it's a common saying that a tiger hunts its best when chasing a mere rabbit besides the moment he saw this mask guy destroy the mercenaries he didn't lower his guard yet even so this bastard has a Bor expression he moves forward again saying is going to fix that face he stretches out both palms and comes face to face with Chan Wan however our boy
just stretches out the sword scabber and Strikes his hand with it the man stares At his hand as it begins to absorb all his energy it starts running through his arm and he screams in pain he had concentrated all his power but it was blocked right at the moment of release and now it's all coming back our boy tells him that he's way too slow and recommends he stopped trying at this rate he's going to break all his fingers before landing a single hit gong ignores him activates power in his foot and charges toward him
however our boy seems To turn into a blur and the energy passes through explodes in the background and gong doesn't even know where he ended up in the same instant our boy is already behind him dong turns around with another attack but is blocked by the Scabbard again once again his arm receives the energy backlash the pagus warns him again that he's going to break all his fingers before managing to do anything gong falls to the ground saying this kid isn't faster than him More stronger than him looking at their energy and physicality he's sure
he could take on 10 of them at the same time he stands up and tries another kick but but our boy Dodges it gong doesn't understand why he can't land a single hit no matter how slow he is this guy Dodges all his attacks with Precision he's sure this guy knows everything he's trying to do it's a strange monster that he still can't even estimate how dangerous he is then her boy stands up Again and says he's not going to keep things like this he wanted to play a little but now he's running out of
energy sweating Mong asks why someone like him didn't help mount haa the two remain silent xang mayong throws the sword onto his back and asks why he would answer that to him deluded people like gong lived in fantasy worlds so he wasn't interested however on the other hand he wants to know why gong has such refined martial Arts for a shop owner even stranger is someone as skilled as him living in Mount who is prefecture gong asks why a martial artist couldn't be a shop owner our boy says it's no problem however he's sure that
with skills like that gong would be making more money elsewhere gong pretends not to know anything and says that doesn't make sense but Chong mayang tells him not to start with that nonsense he's not going to believe that it wasn't an order from Anyone and that gong is there on his own but gong says that's exactly it our boy says they always say that in the end however it's time for the final question he asked if gong knows what he does to a person when he wants to get information from them confused gong asks how
he would know that our boy clenches his fist and says he beats them until they start talking at that moment the poor fat man already knows he's going to get beaten the protagonist then says there's No point in trying to get information from someone who's not willing to talk that's why they need to follow a slightly more functional path he runs toward him saying he's going to get the information or at least be satisfied with having beaten him up without getting it at that moment gong notices that he is coming for his left knee the
problem is that at that speed he can't block the attack but suddenly he gets hit in the shoulder he's confused Because all the movements indicated an attack on his knee he sees another blow coming and realizes there's a strike that's going to hit the center of his head he raises his arm to try to defend himself but in reality it was the hilt coming from below the poor guy takes a blow to the neck he stumbles backward wondering how the blow hit below when he saw the strike coming from above to him the protagonist is
all blurry he keeps getting hit seeing the attacks and not Being able to dodge them he's starting to realize that at this rate he's going to die he can see by the calm look in his eyes that this guy has already killed countless people our boy then starts drawing his sword gong stumbling backward says to himself that he doesn't want to die once again Chang mayang comes to cut him down the middle gong scared raises his hand to defend himself suddenly a blue energy spreads through the forest When the Smoke Clears he's Standing there exhausted
someone asks how he knows the TA God's Palm technique it was the protagonist who had crouched down he asks by chance gong was from the southern Edge sect he then says that now he understands this whole coincidence gong had put Mount H in debt and even has techniques that belong to the southern Edge so he asked if gong was sent by them to this place at that moment gong realizes he made a mistake it would have been better to die than Reveal that he knows this technique especially to someone from Mount haah he had made
a critical error the problem was that when the cut came down on him he was certain he was going to die since the sword had been drawn from its sheath while his mut and Chong myON just asks if he's not going to answer he comments that in a way it's honorable as it shows his certain loyalty our boy know knows he can't underestimate the southern Edge especially since Mount haa and they had Always been Rivals a long time ago but today while the southern Edge still has a firm Place among the top 10 strongest sects
Mount haa is a mess yet it's strange for a sect like that to handle things in such a low manner this means that either gong doesn't know the full story or what he knows is all a lie he laughs and says that in the past the world was also desolate but there was still a bit of Honor as if it wasn't enough that one sect wants to steal Mount H's techniques now the other one wants to take the entire prefecture gone remains silent then he asks if this wouldn't be better for Mount haa he's sure
the boy also knows there's no future for that place anymore now that they've lost the techniques and power they once had it's impossible for them to become the PowerHouse of the past there was only a matter of time before they collaps and gong was just doing a favor by making it happen sooner that's Because a marshall sect without the techniques of previous generations is destined to die aroy asks who said that and gong replies that everyone should already know that however he corrects him asking who said they no longer have the techniques of past Generations
he begins to threaten to cut him in half saying that first he needs to confirm the information before spreading it around C Mayon remembers that mount Hua and the southern Edge SE had many Similarities which is why they were connected both used swords as the main weapon for their Marshall techniques they were located close to each other and everyone talked about the Rivalry between the two in this region that's why they always fought and he would end up being up the southern Edge people gong then says that he's not from the southern Edge and our
boy replies that he's not from Mount HOA either they exchange insults and Chang mayang tells Him to be quiet he then plays the sword under gong's chin and says he's going to show him something interesting since gong showed him the te Pawn technique he slowly lifts him up saying that if he knows what's about to happen it will be an interesting experience but it will be very sad if he can't even understand it either way he should explain it to the person who sent him here suddenly his sword becomes a blur gong is shocked as
a series of cuts come at him the attack Seem to almost hit him but barely Miss gong has to protect himself but the wind created by the cuts is enough to pull his body backward however nothing is touching him so what is Shang mayang trying to do sha Mayon then says that cherry blossoms have the strongest scent when they bloom in Winter That season hadn't arrived yet but Mount who is Spirit hadn't disappeared either he then swings his sword saying that spring was still on its way gone lowers his arms And looks up he sees
a flurry of pedal falling between him and sha Mayan who says that the cherry blossoms are about to fall over the entire Mountain once again gong is confused looking up not understanding what he's seeing it seemed like hundreds of peels were coming toward his forehead he continues to watch as they slowly approach but the 24 techniques of Mount HOA the cherry blossom storm at that moment the poor man falls to his knees and our boy Sheets his sword gong's body hits the ground our boy even spits a bit of blood saying that at this rate
he's wearing himself out more than his enemies what used to be Child's Play is now leaving him exhausted he suddenly looks to the side and calls out to one of the merchants the man trembling all over comes to speak with him and our boy tells him to come closer quickly he then talks to the four of them and asks who likes to get beaten up before leaving Everyone stays silent as no one is in the mood for that his then asks who would prefer to leave without getting punched in the face everyone raises their hands
saying that would be pretty nice sham mayong was about to talk about cooperation but the guys just run off thanking him at that moment he yells for everyone to stay still they look back hesitating and our boy asks if they really don't know how to use their heads how was he supposed to take these carts If everyone left he then shouts demanding to know the value of what was in the carts and the guys begin saying that there were between 1,800 and 2,300 coins another cart had 8,000 and our boys even confused by all that
wealth he then tells them to go to the city of zenen and bring that money back because he's going to sell their own carts to them it's best to bring them money without saying who it's for or else he'll kill him right there the guy is Confused about this business of selling their carts to themselves and asks what happens if the person sent to Zen Jang doesn't come back with the money our boy laughs asking what they plan to do after they run away after all they won't be able to reestablish their businesses without what's
in those carts what's in there is their future in this world so they better come back with the money if they want to take those things back one of them raises his hand and asks what Happens if they tell the government about our boy our boy just kicks the ground and warns that they can try but they better never come back here and flee to the other side of the continent the poor Merchants realize there's no way to escape from this lunatic he then tells them to stop standing around and hurry up to gather the
money sometime later he's sniffing the bills saying this is incredible he comes back all excited and jumps into the sect Meanwhile Jo giol is ringing out his sweat soaked shirt the people are exhausted wondering if they'll really have to do this every morning but he feels that a lot has changed now they actually seem like a group of martial arts practitioners at that moment Yan Jong asks why he's smiling like that he replies the same thing saying that now they look like a group of martial artists he thought it was a strange idea to have
considering they always had been But his friend says he understands him after all he's been thinking the same thing a few days ago he couldn't imagine himself training so hard at Mount HOA but now it's time to return to the second training session of the day all they tried to do before was pass the time climb the mountain and do some half-hearted training but ever since he arrived many things had changed he knew it was all thanks to Chan Wayan surely he was bringing numerous changes to Mount haa for now it was just a small
Breeze in this entire place but no one knew the impact it would have in the future when he arrives at the sect he hears someone shouting not to put that there and telling the workers to hurry up and keep bringing more as they look there are a bunch of workers entering the sect many are carrying stones to saying to bring everything without breaking anything and ordering them to work faster the third year students Entered trying to understand what was happening Anam was ordering everyone around until Yan Jong called out to him the approached and asked
what was going on the master explained that those men were all workers they were there to repair the entire Temple as you probably guessed the place was in terrible shape and in desperate need of repairs at that moment the chief asks what they thought they were doing and the boys are confused he tells them there's a lot of Material to bring in for them to work on so they'd better get going they're startled and say they're going but they just finished training that night they wonder what that was looking at a chicken they wonder if
they're dreaming everyone is shocked wondering if that was real food they start drooling and get excited to eat changes that Xiang mayang had brought to the sect were starting to appear faster than they expected that same night joil and Yan Jong were walking outside saying they never expected all this to happen so much construction new food and even new uniforms at that moment Yan Jong stops and Joe jel asks what he's thinking about he responds that he's just thinking about how incredible money is he knew they had received a lot but didn't expect the sect
to spend it all like that Yan Jong says the suffering they went through was because Unfortunately they had no choice besides He had never heard laugh like that before for job jel then asks what they should do from now on Yan Jong says that just as Mount hola is going through many changes they will also need a change it's not just about financial prosperity he remembers seeing several martial arts books inside that chest at the moment they were leaving for training Chong mayang said that an incredible coincidence had happened he had found a chest full
of bars and techniques Joe Gel says his pretending was terrible what he doesn't understand is how he managed to get all that Yan Jong says he has no idea but the only thing for sure is that many changes are going to happen in this place and inevitably they're also caught up in the storm that's about to start and they'll need to be ready otherwise they'll be swept away by this Wind of Change Jo tells him not to worry because he's confident the only thing he wants to know is where Chong mayang is Since he's been
missing since morning his friend replies that he heard he went to talk to the SE leader the scene shifts to a conversation with the leader who says our boy deserves a reward for finding that treasure and that's the only reason he was called there our boy is a bit confused and the chief wants to know if there's anything he wants he says that maybe CH maong still wants part of the treasure he deliver so if he wants he can keep some of it but Shan my Says he's not that interested in wealth and the Elder
is left confused but our boy just says that there isn't much to buy Mount haa anyway the old man Smiles saying that he knows the path to Enlightenment and has abandoned his attachment to wealth however the truth is that he doesn't want money because he already has plenty after robbing the merchant the Elder then asks if he wants any marshal or Advanced Techniques and he replies that he doesn't want that Either confused a sect leader wants to know why he isn't interested in something like that our boy simply says there must be a reason why
the ancestors established a rule that each technique must be learned the Elder feels a bit awkward thinking that makes sense however our boy only said that because he's the one who has to teach these fools there were many techniques he still had to pass on but he had to do it naturally without raising suspicion he's Unsure of what he wants from Mount haah as the only thing that matters to him now is the name then he gets an idea and says he wants permission to go to huan's prefecture whenever he wants the rasel's main goal
was to gain more freedom to mess around in the world Haan Jang asks why and he says that being stuck in that place is stunting his growth as a martial artist perhaps if he could go out and explore the world he would grow more the leader says he understands but That would be a violation of the sex regulations considering what he's achieved it would be deserved but the problem is that many people might complain that it's unfair he then asks if there's anything else our boy wants but our boy doesn't know what else he wants
besides Freedom then he says he has an idea he says that his body is in terrible condition and the chief asks what he means by that our boy says that his internal energy seems to have been Damaged the leader again says he understands but asks why he's mentioning that our brave boy then says he wants some life replenishing pills the chief is a bit confused so be clarifies that he wants the pills that restore a person's life energy everyone stares at the chief and our boy is hopeful hayan johon then drinks his water bangs the
table and says that from now on he's authorized to leave Mount haa the instructors all agree and our boy is Confused they start pushing him out and our boy asks why considering that before they said it wasn't possible however the old man throws him out say saying he's not responsible for whatever he does in the prefecture but our boy is fuming because he wanted the life replenishing pills unfortunately the old man doesn't have any for him hayan Jean then closes the door and asks what they think of the boy manm simply says that he is
clearly a true Prodigy and the Elder agrees even Though he's just a child he can sense wisdom in him clearly he's not completely right in the head but that's understandable at his age Lam reflects that when he talks to the boy doesn't feel like he's speaking to a child moreover he doesn't seem to have the immaturity one would expect he has the of a veteran martial artist and someone like that can only be described as a prodigy the Elder then asked hyen sang what he thinks of the boy hyen sang However explains that everyone knows
he's not the best person to judge others the leader says he understands but still wants his opinion he stays silent thinking for a second and says that the boy is a child who doesn't act like a child that's the impression he has of him UNAM realizes he's not the only one who sees the boy that way high and Sayang then says he's met mature children who had difficult early lives however they were mature compared to Children whereas CH Mayan genuinely seems like an adult the master asks if he thinks there's something wrong with the boy
and he says he doesn't think so the leader Ponders this and says he appreciates their thoughts but that they don't need to look too deeply into it the boy is still just a child so that's how they'll see him their goal here is to help everyone reach their potential and correct any flaws the two acknowledge the leader saying they Understand he then asks UNAM how the repairs are going UNAM explains that since it's hard to bring things up the mountain they're having to collect the trees from there the problem is that it will take time
to cut everything and and then dry the wood Jang asks if he has any objections to using all the money on these superficial things and Yim immediately says no the leader then says he hopes everyone understands that mount haa must be reborn they will rebuild the Sex appearance as well as his martial arts L name agree is saying that's a very wise decision he then asks sang to understand the new martial arts books as quickly as possible so that they can be used he also requests that he be extremely careful as there can be no
mistakes and what the boys will learn song Just assures him that he personally guarantees it won't happen Jong thanks him saying he trusts both of them however song is a bit hesitant he's not Sure if he should tell the leader that those books are too new for something that's supposed to be hundreds of years old not to mention that some of them had a bit of ink recently spilled on them so it seems like someone rewrote them but maybe he's just being paranoid because the content clearly had no malicious intent to him it means that
someone is trying to benefit Mount haa while remaining Anonymous at the same time meanwhile our boy is outside Furious for Being kicked out just because he asked for the pills especially after all the hard work he had to do rewriting those crazy techniques and the look on the leader's face made it clear they don't even know how to produce the life pearls anymore the problem is that things are getting complicated for him now every fight he has to deal with those side effects caused by opening the door and worse is becoming more severe than he
expected his body is taking too long to Recover and at this rate it will take at least a year he knows that staying still for half a year is the end of everything for someone his age a child's body is constantly growing and changing that's why this is the perfect time to build the foundation of martial arts and strengthen the body the boy is stuck in needs to find a solution there are only two ways to recover and a Kai either you consume a panace which is the life Pearl or you recover it through someone
else Via key transfer technique the problem is no one is going to want to transmit energy to him for now what's strange is that in the past there were so many of these pearls around that he used to find them lying on the ground there were so many in the sect that he sometimes used them as hangover cures the Rascal starts gesturing pretending to pour a drink saying that speaking of which he misses something like that then he pauses for a second he thinks about the hangover and Suddenly seems to remember or something he knew
exactly where he could get a remedy like that immediately he runs through the forest saying he's sure it's still there being an idiot sometimes has its uses a while later he's looking up at a Giant Mountain it was the highest and most dangerous peak in all of Mount haa and the worst part is that the place he's looking for is right in the heart of it all a cave that even among all the disciples he was the only one who knew About back in the day he hid there when he was running away from the
leader and it really helped a lot it was the perfect place to drink without anyone finding him which makes him wonder why they let him stay in the sect instead of kicking him out when he was younger but that's not important right now he needed to climb it and find that Panacea in his past life he could have reached it with two jumps but that's impossible with his body so he leaves and comes back with a Rope he hands up the mountain convinced that descending is better than climbing of course there's the small danger that
he could just fall and die but he's determined saying you only live once or technically he's living twice the Rope is tied to a tree and the climbing Mission Begins the simple reason training is forbidden here is the deadly fall there's barely anywhere to put your feet or hold on the poor guy slips at this moment and starts free Fallen he's Scared saying he's going to die but when the Rope reaches its limit his body is pulled Upward at least he's glad he tied a decent knot however now he's swinging toward the mountain he concentrates
energy in his hand and slams it into the mountain as he swings back but the bone in his arm breaks still he manages to activate the adhesion seal which makes him stick to the Rock the ob's problem now is that one of his arms is broken but at least he could see entrance to The Hideout he could reach you if you released the adhesion seal and used a bit of momentum he steps start swinging back and forth and after a few swings he's ready to LEAP but the Rope snaps right then once again he has
to activate the adhesion seal but the bones in his hands start to break he keeps slipping hitting the wall and almost falling out barely he hangs on and manages to pull himself up into the cave he's already cursing saying it's a lie that he was The master of the fluorescent blade as he enters the cave he sees everything covered he approaches and pulls it away the boy had even left a lamp here which apparently never goes out huh he opens the chest and inside it there's another chest that he hopes contains what he's looking for
the life replenishing pills as soon as he begins to open it energy flows through his body it felt like countless cherry trees had blossomed in the cave there were even some white Pills which were much rarer and more powerful our boy apologizes to the Past jenman saying that at least he didn't steal the most expensive one the first priority was to recover his vitality and it would be even better if in the process he could increase his internal energy without hesitation he pops the first one into his mouth and it dissolves into his body the
energy spreads and he starts to Exhale trying to stay FOC focused little by little Everything that was trying to spread through his body begins to condense into a single grain the problem is that it still needs to be further purified before it can be integrated into his energy core after all he wants to create the perfect body using only pure energy that's why he's rejecting any impure energy a small remaining fragments merge into the core the pill shatters his energy core begins to glow and the entire cave turns blue the pearls begin To fall to
the ground and the boy was already soaring his cultivation his eyes turned blue and the boy was transcending already screaming his hands were trembling but after a while he finally opened his eyes his injuries and even his broken bones were regenerating and his body was already feeling stronger than before using the full power of a pearl like this in such a young body had a much greater effect than he had imagined even the toxins were beginning To be expelled from his body the only thing strange was that his heart was beating too fast the excess
energy was like waves destroying his body from the inside and if it reached the energy core in his head he could end up losing everything he needed to stop this flow but the energy wasn't diminishing in a conversation with jman he had asked if he was a devotee or a martial artist jangan explained that a martial artist seeks control and suppression while Devon Hees tend to let things happen at their natural pace he had asked our boy how he would suppress the laws of the universe if you tried to block a river eventually the water
would find another path and that's why Jamon preferred to let things be as they were meant to be humans are part of nature just like any other animal so why wouldn't they already have their fate in this universe with his hand on his chest he thought about this idea of letting things flow He found himself in his sea of consciousness looking up and seeing a great wall beginning to crack he recognized it as the top of his body's energy that was the entrance gate and seeing all those cracks showed how destroyed his body was when
he placed his hand on it he could feel a strong vibration on the other side judging by the pace of things it was only a matter of time before the wall fell eventually it would collapse and if it all opened At once he' be taken with it just as jamond had said you can't block a river because it finds A New Path if he tried to stop this wave he would be defeated so he would have to let it flow somehow he then opened a small hole in the wall the Water started flow BL under
his feet and he realized jamman had always been right it took him 100 years to understand that nature has his place for every person but he had finally learned that the energy then flowed to the Center of his head sometime later the day dawned he woke up in the cave and the boy who had been floating fell to the ground like an idiot he was confused wondering how he had been flying but when he looked at his palm he remembered what had happened all the energy Pathways in his body had been opened and this child's
body had somehow survived all thanks to the teachings of brother Jamon the risk had been high but so was the reward not only had He restored his Innate energy but he had also increased his reserves in other words his potential had only grown as he left the cave he thought that the words he once found tedious now held immeasurable value in his past life he had simply been a swordsman and not a devote but Mount hoell is both a martial arts academy and an aesthetic sect that's the true nature of this place but he can
only ever understood half of it this made him scratch his head wondering if He could really restore something like that but regardless of what he could achieve he just had to give it his best he no longer had any use for for the pills in the box but the others in the sect would benefit greatly from them it was time to finally return but not before grabbing the liquor he had left behind of course Mount haa had changed a lot but that place was still intact and spending time there made him feel like the old
days it was as if he finally Belonged to it all again sooner or later he would return to that cave but for now it was time to return to mount haa he leaped across the mountains he even paused stylishly to admire the sunset finally his body felt extremely light he decided to take in the scent of the mountains but it wed horribly the purification had turned him into a walking chemical weapon meanwhile back at the sect everyone was frozen and shivering from the cold it was early and They were heading out for training wondering how
long they'd have to keep this up one of them commented that Shang mayang had been acting strange lately he looked worn out like he was sick and exhausted one of them then said that maybe the rumors were true that he had suffered an energy surge this caught everyone's attention as they agreed he looked very tired maybe he was avoiding training because he couldn't handle it anymore the group concluded that this Meant they no longer needed to train so hard either one of them gathered the courage to ask why they had been following his orders until
now it was just because he could beat them all single-handedly before but now that he was exhausted things have changed if they all teamed up they could finally beat the boy Joe giol standing to the side was just observing the murmurs and Yan Jong told them to let them do what they wanted soon enough they'd face Reality the gate began to open someone approached glowing and the group was already terrified it's our boy exuding anura they don't understand how this guy who was nearly dead showed up with skin glowing brighter than ever at that moment
Chang mayang says he understands why everyone is mad at him lately he's been neglecting training due to his health for that reason he sincerely apologizes immediately the guys know revenge is coming and tell him not to Worry that everything is fine and he doesn't need to come back but our boy tells him to stop lying he knows they've been training hard even when he wasn't around this dissatisfaction is his fault for being a terrible instructor that's why he'll do his best to make up for those lost days and for that obviously there's nothing better than
even more intense training he points behind him toward the mountain and tells everyone to run they're all confused wondering What he means by that Kang mayang just says it's a race and whoever comes in last will have to run twice one of them was about to complain about climbing to the lotus flower Peak but Yan Jong had already started running Joel followed telling him to wait up the poor others just stood there watching them go at that moment another one said that at this rate he'd be the last and started walking and suddenly everyone panicked
and ran off our boy says they're bold to Be thinking about starting a mutiny however having the mentality to change things is good after all those who only follow orders will eventually hit a limit but there's nothing worse than complaining effort a martial artist earns the right to speak through training and skill development and that's exactly what he's there to ensure throughout the Millennia that martial arts have existed in the world countless people have become the strongest but a Single individual was never strong enough to carry a sect alone which shows that for a sect
to be strong all the disciples must be strong too his goal is to make sure that mount who surpasses the glory of the old Mount haa he then yells that the last one today won't get dinner the sun is finally starting to rise between the mountains and the poor disciples are already lying on the ground defeated as usual joil exhausted looks back and sees Yan Jong getting up He's impressed that this guy is trying so hard it was clear why he's truly the senior brother this wasn't a matter of strength or skill anymore it was
simply the foundation of willpower a stone falls to the ground and someone asks why the sun has already risen it's cha mayang with a bunch of Weights saying that whoever has finished the training should give him the weights because he wants to use them at that moment he looks around and wonders why everyone is Sleeping while he complains that training had barely begun J jel is staring at him thinking he's a monster he says these kids nowadays really can't be taken seriously but everyone knows he's the youngest one there he then drops the Waits and
says that's it for today but he warns that whoever skips training tomorrow will train 10 times harder afterward before leaving he tells them to clean everything up and put the equipment away the others are just Thinking he's a bastard sometime later at breakfast Yan Jong asks the guy next to him if he's lost his appetite to which he replies that he's afraid of vomiting if he eats anything they'd all turn to Yan Jong calling him big brother and ask if this training hasn't gone too far everyone agrees saying they're starting to fear dying because of
it barely able to stop trembling they didn't want Yan Jong to say anything to Chong Mayan and were pleading with him They turned to J and asked what he thought about it he stayed silent for a moment he said he agreed that the training was getting harder each day and was pushing his body to its limit iron gets stronger when struck but that's not the case with humans however he's sure that the bastard Chong mayang knows this too for now he thinks they just need to endure it and if nothing changes then they can talk
to him the group Smiles saying maybe that makes sense Yan Jong Says fine if something like that happens he'll talk to him sometime later jel collapses into bed it's time to sleep and then wake up the train all day again if thought he can handle this training no matter how tough he was but he's already passing out wondering if he'll be able to keep up at this rate until someone calls for senior brother he wakes up and sees it's Chong Mayan he says it was really hard to find this but he's giving it to him
confused Jill asks What it is then we see the red light he already knows it was a plum blossom pill our boy tells him to keep quiet but he's shouting asking where he found it but sha mayong just says he believes it will be very useful to him and he tells him not to tell anyone else about it giel is overwhelmed with emotion then sha mayang tells him to consume it quickly and he'll help guide his key joj is moved saying he'll never think of the boy as a heartless Monster again when it came Time
to help Chong mayong was always the one who showed up however our boy is grinning wickedly thinking the real hell is about to begin the next morning everyone was training and shining brightly obviously our boy must have done the same for everyone else and unun quickly noticed that something was different the attacks each of the boys were much more precise however they were practicing the same techniques the dexterity of movement and the speed also Seemed to have improved each sequence of attacks was emanating strength their upper bodies were stable with more muscle behind the sword
he didn't understand how all these people had improved so much in such a short time that's when he remembered our boy asking for a month of training he guaranteed they would see a difference Anin began to wonder how it was possible that just one morning of training had caused all this but the look in everyone's eyes was Full of passion for training he stayed silent and then said that everyone was full of energy today he was extremely excited to see them all working so hard in training and he said that if they kept it up
he would allow them to advance to the final stages he would teach everyone the great sword pacification technique the boys got excited saying that learning something like that would be incredible it really showed that they were improving anim Smiled saying that when the boys work hard he needed to reward them so they would learn to strive even harder but that's when JN appeared calling for unram a little later Beyond the Wall Jong asked what brought him there Jong said it seemed like they had a problem it was the book of the six elements sword technique
that Chong Mayo had found he told unim to take a look at the last page and unim was shocked he was confused wondering what it was the Message was directed to the successors saying that there was no shame in developing an altering Mount H's Arts after all martial artists continue to progress and increase their chances of survival however the six elements were the foundation of everything and changing this technique was the same as changing the entire Spirit of the sect this was something the successor should always keep in mind Andrew knew that the six elements
was the technique that a Kept Mount H alive for all these Generations just as a novice learns to hold a sword all martial artists learn the six elements technique he then asked Jan if they were really going to teach something like that again it was a technique that took a long time for a disciple to learn which is why a new one was developed Jong said he agreed with that and that's exactly why he was there as he knew it was Mount H's wish to reorganize the six elements technique And make the true technique easier
to learn however they also needed to pay attention to the words of those who came before them the trainer thought that something like this was actually much more important to consider that's because the words of those who came before indicate the path those in the future should take this is the foundation of learning so they couldn't ignore such a clear warning that's why the leader came to get the trainer's Opinion he thought out the options of following tradition or pursuing change after a while he said that the reason they created this six elements technique was
because they had little time on their hands they didn't know when Mount huo would come to an end so they decided to speed up the process for beginners after all it was pointless to try to build a foundation when there was no future the question he wanted to know then was whether the leader now saw a Future for Mount haa Jong stayed silent for a second pondering that future the situation had improved a lot but they still had a myriad of problems he then said that it wasn't a very difficult question and that's why he
hoped UNAM understood that he didn't have a clear answer Jong said that if that's the case he was against restoring the six elements the leader then asked why Jong looked back and said the reason would be a tough one the technique they created Might have originated from the original but it was completely different the six elements is a slow but steady art that tries to gradually overwhelm the opponent whereas the new technique is extremely fast agile and fluid the kids learned quickly and had already accepted all the principles of the new technique and trying to
change the original path now could mean that in the future they wouldn't Master either of the two besides the original technique required Extremely stable legs and a lot of focus and he thought it was too late for that the leader asked him to repeat that and he said the kids needed stable legs that's when he noticed something and looked back seeing the boy stances he realized they had the legs necessary to master that technique Jang said it seemed like unjo had been training them very well however he was confused because he had never trained them
in anything like that then he looked to the Side and saw Chang mayang scratching his nose and he began to wonder if this was that kid's doing he then asked the leader for permission saying he wanted to get one of the boys opinions he called for our boy who was startled Unum told him to come over as he had something to ask and Chong mayang agreed Unum asked him which option was better reaching the highest possible Point slowly or reaching the destination quickly which was the right path for Mount haa to take the protagonist pointed
upward and sent the right answer was always to aim for the highest point unim asked why and our boy said it's because this is the Mount hoct Jong seemed impressed the boy carried all the pride of this sex history and to think that the ideal that existed in this place long ago came from the mouth of the youngest one CH mayong said that if it were any other sect the second auction would be correct but in the case Of Mount HOA it's a different reality the only way to restore the honor and glory of the
past was to not compromise the future in any way Jong was impressed that the boys seemed to understand the meaning behind Ang's words the leager asked if this was just because they were Mount haah and our boy said that's what he thought at least they exchanged glances and told him it was fine and he could return to his position as our boy left they talked among themselves saying It was embarrassing they never expected to hear words like that from a child the only reason he gave was that they were in Mount HCT anjam said that
something like that was only possible for him to say because he was still a child his goals and ideals hadn't yet been tainted by reality and although it was difficult he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of that child that simple conversation however with lead them to make a difficult decision choosing the Fundamental technique of a sect was extremely important because it defined the future of the entire sect H and told unim to pay attention as he was about to make a decree as the leader of Mount haa from now on this would change
they would abandon the alterations they had made and returned to using the six elements technique not only that but they would also incorporate all the techniques left by their ancestors and as the teacher of the third-year students he had a crucial Role in all of this it couldn't continue to accept being a powerless sect forever as long as this place was Mount one they should be striving to become the strongest that was the duty and goal of everyone who belonged to this sect furthermore those children were the future perhaps because of this Choice he wouldn't
see any significant changes in this generation however when these boys became the leaders of this place the sect would return to its former Prominence while they pondered all of this Shang mayong was muttering that they were pathetic why did these idiots dare to ask him something like that he had put the food in their mouths and they were still asking how to chew it it seemed like there was no hope of them ever getting anything right whatever they were doing they were probably doing it wrong it was time for him to visit who his prefecture
because they were surely making a mess of that place too He shouted for everyone to hear that the sect was a mess without him after years of hardship the sect was finally at peace the biggest problem which was Financial had been resolved and the old techniques had been reestablished to ensure the sex future everyone was happy and the place was filled with laughter but for our boy peace was Far From Reality the city was a complete mess sitting on a crate he asked Joe giel if he was really the son of a merchant Family Joe
giel said yes and our boy asked asked him what it was like to run a big business on this continent Jo gel said it wasn't a big business just a small shop our boy said that as an only son Jo gel must know some secret or something going on there Jo jel looked confused wondering what he was talking about our boy told him to forget it they both looked back and our boy asked why the place was in such chaos his friends said it was because of the previous Owners of that place even though they
were Bandits they treated the employees well and when they left everyone disappeared or rather you could say they brought a bunch of family members and once one left everyone went with them k mayang then asked if it was due to a lack of workers and Joe GI said that was one of the reasons he hesitated and said the other problem was that the people at the top of Mount haa didn't have the skills to manage these businesses it was Like putting a pearl necklace on a pig the guys from Mount haa were all arguing with
each other because they were bringing the wrong items Joe jel said that running a business like this wasn't an easy task you had to know about each item and material if a material was too good they wouldn't profit enough but if it was too poor they wouldn't attract any customers and if you hire people to take care of it you'd end up with no money left our boys said they could Start learning how to manage the business Joe gel asked if he would teach a 40-year-old man some marshal arts and he said no he then
said that wasn't the only problem they also had difficulties when they wanted to buy certain items they didn't have the connections so if they sent someone to buy something the poor guy would end up like a beggar and lose all the money they had Joe G said that this whole business thing was very difficult and wasn't working trying to Manage this whole place had been a mistake from the start our boy looked up and thought of jenman he was starting to realize just how important that guy was back then and he didn't worry about any
of this and everything worked out fine but he' rather die than go through all this suffering he asked Jo giel what the solution was and he said he had no idea if he had that skill he would have become a successful Merchant by now but not even his father could solve that Problem it was a shame but there was nothing they could do to run a business like that you either needed to have most of the items or a background full of connections it would be nice if Elder hang were in better Financial shape confused
xang mayang asked who that was Jo J explained that hang was a great Merchant a kind of magnet who traded with the entire state of shanki in the past he was one of Mount HOA sponsors and it was his support that prevented The total collapse of the sect the protagonist asked why he sponsored them considering there weren't any decent martial artists there he saw Jo GI making a face and ask what was wrong Joe jel said it was nothing and just mentioned that hang sponsored several sex and that if he were around he would surely
give them plenty of advice on how to manage everything our boy said the problem was solved then since they just had to go and ask him for help but Unfortunately it wasn't going to be that easy hang had been bedridden for over a year due to a coma at that moment Chang mayang sat down realizing it really wasn't going to be easy suddenly someone was calling for a boy it was unim and he asked what was going on he approached the two and said there was a task he would have to return to the mountain
and our boy asked why climbing that mountain was incredibly difficult and he was sure there were stronger and better prepared Brothers he was the youngest here with weak thigh and shorter legs Anam however told him to stop stalling because he was also the one with the least to do our boy said he had just been sweeping the whole Courtyard for goodness sake but seeing the brooken broom he quickly asked what the task was onam explained that he had to deliver a letter to the finance office and it was extremely important it was from the uni
exchange company so he had better not lose it Joil warn our boy that the un exchange company belonged to master hang he then grabbed the letter and said it would be delivered as quickly as possible a little while later in the mountains he looked to the side and pulled out the letter a letter from the famous Master Juan of negotiations or probably from one of his employees since W wasn't conscious to speak for that matter he saw the seal and gave a small smile he knew what he was about to Do was wrong but he
apologized to jangan in advance the message said it was only for the SE Leader's eyes but our boy was curious about what kind of message someone bedridden was trying to send he was sure they'd appreciate a Little Help from him he opened it and took a look the letter started by getting straight to the point it was Shameless to send this letter after years of Silence but he had to do it for his father's sake he knew everyone's time eventually came but The signs his father was showing didn't seeing Rel to age his heartbeat was
erratic and his skin had turned a strange red color he had completely lost Consciousness and could no longer move in addition a red spot had appeared between his eyebrows xang mayang seemed to recall the Chama they had called every doctor from all over the country but none of them could correctly diagnose his father it was out of pure desperation that he was sending messages To everyone his father knew he asked that if the SE leader recognized even a little bit of these symptoms to please send a message and for anyone who could alleviate his father's
illness they promis a large reward in the name of the uni exchange post the letter was sent by the Vice President however our protagonist was shocked saying that of course normal doctors wouldn't be able to treat him this illness was known as the demon flower from the outside it Looked like the person was poisoned by some kind of Venom which was why most doctors tried to find an antidote however the reason he was alarmed by this news was because this illness was caused by certain techniques from the Demonic cult Clan he clenched his teeth remembering
those Fanatics he had thought he wiped them all out that day on the 100ft mountain the problem was that not only had they survived but it seemed like they were once again Planning to bring destruction to the world what he didn't understand was why those damn people had something against Mount H every time they got in his way the country was enormous so why did they have to mess with one of the people who had helped them but it was undeniable that this was a problem he couldn't confirm anything without seeing in person so it
looked like he would have to visit this guy besides his eyes had already lit up since they mentioned a Large reward according to Joe gel the Yong had exchange group was extremely wealthy the advantage he had was that few people knew about this nowadays the universe really worked in mysterious ways some of those demons seem to have survived the war he feared that some of these survivors might see this letter immediately he took off running saying he couldn't let something like this happen no one in this world could steal the reward he deserved and for
the money Or rather for the good of the sect he was going to go cure this man right now knife fell and the others were heading back to the sect exhausted that's when someone called out for Yan Jong it was Jo gel looking all worried however the Senor didn't understand wondering why each day his friend seemed to be going crazier but Jo shouted that it was an emergency it was something else Chan Wayan had gotten up to there wasn't time to explain so he told him to just follow When they opened the room it was
completely empty immediately hean Jong wanted to know where the boy had gone this time joob jel said that wasn't the important part it was the letter on the bed the letter said he'd be gone on business for several days they had to cover for him the best they could and also if they miss any training they would be beaten as soon as he returned Yan Jong has always cursed him out calling him a bastard Joe G wanted to Know what they were supposed to do now y Jong just told them to tell everyone to stay
quiet CH said that if they were caught they'd be in trouble but Yan Jong responded that it didn't matter they were already in trouble if he said he'd be back in a few days they had no choice but to wait he knew that people didn't keep such a close eye on the third-year boys so maybe theyd get away with it poor joil was worried about what would happen if they were discovered but Yan Jong said he was more worried about what made Chong Wang leave for several days whatever it was it would surely cause a
lot of problems in the forest our boy was sprinting from tree to tree still running he hadn't stopped for a second running through the entire night he had already run 117 km and was finally feeling exhausted in his past life however jumping over a mountain was easy he looked ahead and said that in any case it had been a long time since he'd Been there the city of xion a place where a lot had happened in the past he would drink there always in High Spirits thinking it was the best he was the number two
in the sect and loved walking around there because no one bothered him he was already a little drunk and ended up bumping into a guy beside him the Bobble slipped out of his hand falling to the ground and the man turned asking if he had no manners he told him to apologize since he had been the one to Bump into him but when the man saw that he was from Mount HOA he said he smelled something rotten obviously shaming wasn't at all pleased by that the drink continued to spill from the bottle and in silence
he told his men to get ready the man was confused and started laughing he said he already knew they were a bunch of thugs but he hadn't expected that they would also have no manners he'd see many Masters like him roaming the city but in the end they Always ended up getting beaten this Ides it was ridiculous for him to come all the way from Mount Hua just to cause trouble in the city of xion so the man warned that if Chang mayang wanted he could teach in a lesson about what happens when you step
into someone else's territory at that moment Chong mayang sobered up immediately he approached the bottle and gave it an upward heel kick the man glanced and it was over before he even knew it a tap on The neck for each of the three they took the hit Chong Mayan grabbed the drink and the poor guys were wrecked Mount Pua sect and the southern Edge sect had always been archal you could ask why they were Rivals but you could also reverse the question and ask why they wouldn't be it starts with the fact that it's difficult
for two strong sex to exist so close to each other especially considering that both use sword techniques which made them even more Competitive constantly the question of who was the stronger sect would arise because of this many Mount HOA disciples avoided going to the city of Xian of course going there with that smug smile was always the exception it was the perfect place to escape the elders eyes have fun and drink plenty he was never the one to start the fights with the southern Edge guys and every time they got beaten up it was because
because they provoked him first naturally the Pile of body started stacking up eventually he had to admit that those guys had a certain tenacity no matter how many times they got beaten they always came back perhaps it was that tenacity that led the southern Edge to their current position the conclusion of all this is that he's guaranteed to have problems if he runs into them again around here however since he's him he sure he'll be fine besides the people around here probably don't even know him So there shouldn't be any trouble the scene shifts to
a doctor checking one's pulse the doctor let go of his hand and said unfortunately there was nothing they could do jangu thanked him and asked if it was really his father's Fate To Die this way the doctor beside him said that the Tang family prided themselves on their knowledge of poisons but unfortunately he had no idea what was affecting his father the son asked what it could be and the doctor said That despite the symptoms it didn't seem to be a type of poison in his opinion there was something more behind these symptoms jnu grabbed
the doctor's shoulder and asked if it might have been some type of food he then noticed the doctor hesitate and removed his hand he apologized saying he acted out of frustration the doctor said he understood and was saddened that he couldn't help alone in the room jangu wondered what auctions were left his Father's Health was getting worse day by day he couldn't do anything for him even with all the money they had his father had always been generous to those with little but now he was about to meet his end because of an unknown illness
someone then called for the vice president and asked to enter there was an elder from the southern Edge sect named moxon ji he said he was sorry to say it but it was time to Face Reality the only way to save Wong was with a Tais ritual the son said he understood the concern but didn't want to use that method just yet how however mukang says that it's not every day you can have the toest ritual performed by him but John we says he'll wait for the responses to all the letters he sent before making
a decision clearly the guy from the south isn't happy about that and he says that all the work he's doing is utterly pointless jangu is losing his patience with these provocations but he has to Endure all these impertinences that's because mung is one of the Elders of the Southern Edge sect they've long been part of the 10 major sect and lately their name has been spreading across the country some even say that within a few Generations they could be the greatest sword sect and that's why as the vice president of a Trading Company it's difficult
for him to oppose someone like that he's sure that this guy will demand a fortune for this so-called ritual it's Not even about the money he cares about if it were to save his father's life he'd give up everything he owns however it he's certain that if the southern sect really had the solution to the problem they would first cure him and then ask for the money directly from his father which shows that they have some other motive behind all this but mung says there's no other way if even the best doctors haven't found the
solution it's impossible for him to be cured just Then someone calls for the vice president he appears and asks what's going on the man informs him that a messenger has arrived from Mount haa John we is confused because the letter to mount hul was the last one sent so why were they the first to arrive moan however asks what someone from that failing sect is doing there he warns jongue that there must be a trick up their sleeve so he better be careful he puts a hand on the man and says that Going to talk
to this person is a waste of time how for the most insignificant sect of today cure his father's illness however jangu says they came from afar to offer assist assistance so it would be impolite not to receive them moang just watches and says all right then in the corridors the servant informs that the person is still at the gate John we says that leaving the person at the gate was discourteous the servant tries to explain that the situation is unusual But he cuts him off saying that's enough they'll go meet this person right away he
arrives at the gate opens it and immediately apologizes for keeping him waiting outside he introduces himself as jangu the vice president of the place the person says it's fine since he's not there for courtesies jangu notices that the person had a very casual demeanor and when he stands up Jong way is startled it was our boy calmly cleaning his ears he's a bit confused and the Young man blows on his pinky finger Jang then wants to know when the rest of the delegation would arrive but Chong mayang simply says he came alone and jangu is
already breaking into a cold sweat the boy just says he's there alone and has a way to cure the old man so they better take him inside quickly besides that he wants to hear a bit about that huge reward they mentioned in the letter JN we is completely baffled by this opportunist the place Falls silent while He stares at the boy who's casually asking for money he then asks if Chang mayong came alone to which he replies yes the man questions if that means there's no one else besides him the boy says yes again he
looks at the servant beside him who shrugs unsure of what to do looking at the boy he wonders if Mount HOA is playing a joke on the UN a trading company however Maybe the Boy really had a solution that's when moing starts laughing and says that there's no Way this sect could be more ridiculous than this he approaches the vice president and says he warned him that it was a waste of time to talk with Mount haah they don't have the necessary knowledge to take care of his father and sent this joke of a person
here he at least thought that the leader of Mount ho was a wise old man so why did he pull such a cheap trick like this sha mayong thinks that he should have imagined something like this would happen Considering his age so he decides that he'll have to convince them somehow he leans in and says he'll introduce himself his name is cha mayam and he's a third class disciple of Mount haa they had recently received the letter sent by the Vice President and he's there because he believes he knows the reason for the symptoms his
father is experiencing the vice president seems startled by the boy state he asks if he really has knowledge of what's happening To which the boy confirms it was the first time jongue had heard someone speak with such confidence he had already invited countless Physicians and martial artists and no one had the courage to say something like that maybe the boy really knew something however the leader of the Southern sex steps forward and says the boy is far too young to be pulling off such a fraud he tells the vice president to go inside because they
had enough of this nonsense However someone then asked for permission to speak with his hand on his back the boy asked the old man who he thinks he is to be talking to him like that man a breeze blows through everyone's clothes confused moxen asks if he's talking to him the boy questions if there was someone else swearing at him at that moment the old man immediately yells asking what insolence this is and if he doesn't recognize the southern sex uniform the boy says that Now it makes even less sense since he thought the man
with all his arrogance must be some kind of doctor which based on all that confidence he presumes the man has a solution to the boy's father's illness makang stares at the boy and remains silent for a moment then he says that Master hang became ill because he strayed from The Virtuous path and the only way to cure this is with a toist ritual that will calm the Wrath of the heavens K May says that sounds very Convincing but if it were a Tois ritual they should have called the wadding sect or the cumin sect after
all that's not the specialty of the Southern Edge sect neither Mount H nor the southern Edge sect should be performing such a ritual he turns to John we and asks if he doesn't agree that his father should be treated by an expert John we is left speechless by the boy's knowledge and mang immediately gets in the boy's face asking how he dares to speak like that To an elder of a sect however Chong mayang doesn't seem to care and the old man is seething with rage he then asked the vice president if he's just going
to stand there and do nothing not expelling this child immediately but he remains silent then he tells mang that this is not the southern sect as he is merely a guest of the UN Trading Company in that place he decides how guests are treated he addresses the boy as young master and asks if he could answer a few questions The boy agrees and he then asks him to explain more about these symptoms he claims to recognize K mayang says he heard that Master Wang often travels for business and he believes that on one of those
trips he passed through the mountain of my feet and was contaminated there immediately Jong way is startled by the fact that this didn't happen at all the boy is confused and asks if he's sure his father didn't pass through there the boy asks that his father was Attacked by Bandits and Jong we says that nothing has happened in The Last 5 Years XA Mayan is completely confused asking where exactly the old man got beaten up however for the Sun the little hope he had vanished moan begins to laugh the skies saying he told them it
was a waste of time m H was full of Bandits and they were only there to steal money from the innocent clearly that insolent child wasn't there to do any good jnu then asked the young Master To consider the position he's in he understands that maybe the boy believes he can help his father but doing something wrong only worse in his condition it was a Pity like he would have to ask the boy to leave however he would send a word of thanks to the SE master who sent him the door was closing but the
boy holds it open he then says that the old man's skin must be turning red and his body cold as ice Jang we realizes that he knows something K Mayong explains that if you run your finger over the Palm it starts to change color also before falling into a coma he must have experienced a lot of chills and some black marks appeared on the back of his neck and between his eyebrows JN GUI immediately pulls the door open and asks how he knows that our boy smiles and asks if he can continue he feels proud
as the man tells him to come in apologizing however mam wants to know why he's allowing a charlin to do Something like this that information wouldn't help at all but johy asks if he knows anything about it because apparently he had no way to cure father moang is left speechless and Jang we says it ends here he no longer wanted the involvement of the Southern sect in his father's recovery and if he insisted a letter would be sent directly to the official of the Southern sect jangu stands there with a SCE smile with that mung
leaves a little later the boy pulls Back the blanket and sees the old man all red and in terrible shape even for him the condition was much worse than he imagined he already suspected it was this illness but not that it had progressed so much it would be extremely difficult for an old man to survive a year with his disease he then takes his wrist and begins to use his energy it travels through the arm and the boy realizes it was the work of an amateur jangu then asks if there's no way to Save his
father the boy says that curing him wouldn't be that difficult poor John way was so disillusioned that he thought the boy said there was no solution then he snaps back to reality and realizes the boy said it wouldn't be difficult and the boy repeats himself to make sure he understands at that moment he had delayed the symptoms so at least his father was no longer in immediate danger of death in an instant the black mark on his forehead disappears jnu is in belief But the boy says he will need some preparations to cure everything the
son immediately asks what those preparations are the boy says that first he wants a nice breakfast a while later he's already eaten a lot and John we is still asking what the real preparations are the boy keeps eating saying it's nothing special it was a treatment that required a lot of energy so he needed to eat plenty before performing it and indeed the cook at that place was very talented Shangu was starting to question whether he could really trust this kid but after seeing what he did he could only put his faith in him then
our boy says that actually his father's condition isn't even the biggest problem the real question is why he got sick in the first place and to find that out he needs a few things to be answered he then asks who the person closest to his father is of all those who serve or accompany him on his travels who is the person that Never leaves his side Jang we asks why he wants to know the boy simply says it's related to the treatment jangu says that aside from himself it's hard to be certain since his father
has several assistants and servants there are at least five people who fit that description jangu then says that it won't be so easy to find out jangu is confused and wants to know know why this matters our boy then says that he thinks John Wei must have already imagined it The condition his father isn't indicates that he wasn't attacked by a stranger in other words someone close to him poisoned him immediately jangu stands up and says he won't allow such slander at the unat trading company they were like family and everyone respected his father the
boy simply says that maybe he's right which means if his judgment is wrong he'll just feel relieved he picks his teeth telling him not to worry that the investigation will reveal everything His theory is that someone with very limited abilities was placing demonic Kai into the old man day by day little by little at first had no effect until the necessary amount accumulated and then he started to worsen John way asks how he plans to conduct such an investigation our boy says he's just going to ask a few people and the vice president can stand
by and watch but he guarantees things will get very interesting very soon he then changes His mind and says there's actually one little thing he can do with his hand on his chest Jong says to just ask the boy grabs the bottle and says he wants another bottle of Yanti liquor the scene shifts toon the old man is even breaking his Chopsticks out of anger he says he's encountered a danam brad who carries the same name as that other Dan one the former known as the master of the fluorescent Blade the boy talking to him
is isong Beck who asks if he's referring To the former legendary swordsman the old man slams the table asking what's this business about legendary he says you can't use a title like that for that damn Bandit isong back knows that Ming always gets irritated at any mention of Mount haah it's been a hundred years since the master of the fluorescent blade died and still people talk about him this makes him wonder if the guy was really really as strong as the Legends say so he tells mukang to pay no Attention to this kid however mang
responds that it's impossible to forget that Dan boy who kept making false promises isong back simply says the boy is bluffing so nothing will come of it but moxon has already heard that Master hang's condition has improved that's when isong bake understands the Elder's concern hang never forgets a favor and that means if the boy helps him all of Mount Hua will be helped and that was something they from the southern Edge Sect couldn't let happen he then tells the Elder that if he wants they could make the boy leave the city it would be
wrong for The Elder himself to expel the boy but second class disciples wouldn't have any problem with it besides no one would think much of a little fight between the people of the Southern sect and mount Hua the Elder says they could be accused of beating up a little kid from Mount Hua but isong bake says that everyone already knows about the Rivalry Between the two sex so it wouldn't be that strange they could ask for a small friendly duel and maybe things would go wrong this was the perfect chance especially since the tournament between
the southern sect and mount huo was approaching MOX selling slams the table and says he understand the logic but cannot allow something like that to happen the boy was just a third class disciple and it would be a disgrace for the southern sect to challenge someone Like him what would the rest of the world think if they saw them harming a child from a fallen sect isong Beck says all right then if the master says so I'll understand that I don't have permission he stands up and says that if any of the disciples foolishly lay
a hand on the boy they'll receive the proper punishment makam agrees saying that he will certainly punish anyone who lays a finger on the boy however isong bake isn't stupid and he already knows This is all just is a pretense the reward for whoever does it will be far greater than any punishment the two then leave moxon keeps thinking that it's no surprise to him that young people these days don't respect Mount Hua after all by the time they were born the place was already in Ruins but when he was an apprentice the southern SE
had no chance of fighting Mount Hua headon if the strength of that place hadn't been destroyed by the Demonic cult even now 100 years later the southern sect would still be beneath them and obviously they cannot go back to those days in any way one thing is certain if they sent that boy from so far away they are trying to influence the world again to him that sect was impossible to recover however it seems he will have to speak with the southern Edge leader once this is resolved the scene shifts to two guys outside asks
isong what he plans to do with a kid he replies that he'll Politely ask him to leave the city it's not his nature to pick fights with a child but he also can allow him to cause trouble for The Elder what he finds strange is why Mount ho sent a child like this as at that age they shouldn't even be allowed to leave the sect apparently the sect had fallen so much that they no longer had rules suddenly isong stops and says speak of the devil as someone matching the description was right in front of
them our boy was there Whistling casually until someone called out to him they approach and say it's an honor to me a disciple of Mount haa then he introduces himself as isong be a disciple of the Southern Edge clearly our boy doesn't care at all about that isong then asks where he's going our boy says he's going to see Master Quang he's curious to know if his condition has improved isong thinks the kid is Shameless what was that child thinking of doing when none of the best doctors Had found a solution he then asked our
boy if he has a minute isong wants to know what it is and the boy says he won't beat around the bush as everyone knows the southern sect and mount Hua who always competed with each other and the Big Challenge is coming K mayang however says he's never heard of that since he's just recently joined the sect isong thinks now it's explained it's because he doesn't know about this emity that he has the courage to be so Brazen He then says that experiencing the martial arts of Mount Hua firsthand would be extremely valuable for his
training and he asks what the boy thinks about that could the boy demonstrate mount his famous swordsmanship isong is sure the boy will refuse as Brazen as the boy is he would realize he doesn't stand a chance and would end up getting beaten however our boy straight faed like Lloyd Frontier asks if he wants a fight heung is thrown off by the Audacity of the damn cheeky kid he tries to explain that it's not a fight but rather a friendly contest however our boy says that from what he understood the guy wants a fight unfortunately
for him the boy never turns down a fight but he has to remember that he was the one who asked for it sometime later they are facing each other in the arena isong asks for his twiist name our boy says he doesn't have one but that his real name is Tong May isong says he understands he Addresses the young master and says he's going to give him some advice even though he may not know his actions were wrong he's still guilty for what he's done that's why he advises him to return to mount haa before
he gets hurt but our boy interrupts and asks if they're not going to fight already apparently the southern sect folks like to argue with words since they're in the arena and still talking go on the side is eager to jump in and beat up the boy too but Ison Just raises his arm he starts talking to himself saying he needs to learn more about self-discipline because at that moment all he could think about was how to beat up that boy but he wasn't wrong there was no reason to hold back he stretches out his hand
telling himself it's time to end this he introduces himself once again and says he requests a duel with the disciple of Mount HOA the boy tells him to wait a moment isong asks why at that moment our boy calls The guy behind him who looks a bit confused he stretches out his hand and then ask to borrow his sword the two were left thinking that poverty had really hit Mount haa how could someone from a sword SEC not have a sword the guy asks where his sword is and our boy says he didn't come here
to fight so he didn't bring it he then starts looking around and says all right I'll grab a stick from around here but isong tells go with a hand over the sword that's Because it would be shameful if word got out that the southern SE people beat up a boy who wasn't even armed at that moment our boy looks back and the sword falls into his hand he slings it over his shoulder and says it's time to start Isam asks if he's not going to draw the sword from a chath and our boy says he
doesn't want to kill him poor Ison is losing his patience he said that every time this damn boy speaks he forgets the inner peace he's been cultivating he's Certain the boy won't change unless he inflicts some serious damage in tells Chong mayang that he's going to take this seriously because when he regrets it it will be too late our boy tells him to come on because he doesn't have all day isong then assumes his stance and jumps toward the boy tearing up the entire floor our boy was just watching as isong came in for a
strike but he simply places the blade alongside his arm and defends himself however the boy Lost his balance at that moment isong steps on the ground again and jumps toward him our boy ends up having to defend himself he's confused because it's more difficult than he expected smoke is rising in the arena and GOI notices that isong is really angry he doesn't know how this fight will end in a friendly way but that kid kind of deserved it for provoking them so much to him the boy should just give up already since he's at least
holding out A little bit after all by now he must be reaching his limit he's sure isong could finish it whenever he wants but then there would be the rumor they beat up a child that's why he's holding back his ATT tax so the Boy Can Survive it was truly generous of the young Master once again isong comes in for an attack and is startled the area explodes and the boy is thrown backward isong is already exhausted confused as to how this kid blocked again he can understand how this Boy who moves like a snail
has been blocking all his attacks that's when he starts to realize something the boy was positioning his sword to defend long before his attack arrived it was as if he already knew every move which would be impossible unless he could read minds by his appearance he must be around 15 years old younger than his own younger brother he thinks again in says now he wants to see him block this he goes for an overhead slash but the boy calmly Slides his foot to the side places his sword and deflects the attack isong realizes once again
that the boy doesn't seem to be exerting much effort which is strange because isong is considered one of the prodigies of the Southern Edge sect now he was starting to lose his temper his hand begins to turn blue and a gust of wind forms around him he starts repeating to himself that this shouldn't be possible then he tells the boy that this sword is going to cut the Heavens in two he leads toward him activating The Skys splitting technique but go away yells at him to be careful or he'll kill the boy at the last
second it seems like isong starts to hold back the move however the moment his sword touches Chong myongs nothing happens isong feels relieved because if he had used his full strength he would have been in trouble but then the boy is thrown far away man the boy spits blood the two are shocked as the boy's body Falls to the ground the wall is destroyed and the boy is half dead confused isong doesn't know what happened he stands there Frozen until go away yells his name and runs over asking what he did to a child Isam
tried to explain saying it wasn't intentional but he sees picking up the boy who looks unconscious but he's certain that at the moment of the attack he had withdrawn his Ki he touched the sword and suddenly the boy was thrown far away the boy However coughs and spits out a sea of blood go is shock asking what they're going to do now poor isong didn't even know human could hold that much blood now he's sure he's going to look like a villain in this situation then someone approaches and asks what all this is about the
boys are startled it's John we asking what the sub insect people had done one of the doctors approaches and says the boy is in terrible shape they need to move him right away with that He's thrown over one of the men's shoulders and taken away isong knows it'll be hard to come up with an excuse for this situation not even the legendary strategist could come up with a decent excuse then John asks why they who claimed to belong to such a great sect use such a deadly move on a child he really thought the southern
Edge sect was a virtuous place but now he could only question those words after witnessing such senseless violence he Turns to isong and says you won't forget what happened there the boy tries to explain but J we immediately tells them to leave the unhood trading company then someone else arrives asking what the commotion was about it's mukang asking the vice president what happened then he notices his sword a pool of blood and the destroyed wall immediately he knows those idiots did something stupid he then tells the vice president that it seems there's been an accident
but the Vice president asks if they have the nerve to call that an accident the boy who was treating his father was almost cold-bloodedly murdered by the southern sex disciples accident was not the right word to use when it was clearly intentional isan tries to explain saying he didn't use excessive force but John we tells him to stop interrupting and get out of that place it was ridiculous for him to use the excuse of a casual sparring match when the result looked Like a battlefield and how could it be fair for him to fight a
child who was nearly half his age was that the virtue the southern Edge sex stood for he then says he said enough it's time to gather the disciples and leave the unhat trading company moxon remains silent then he says they will do as asked he apologizes for what happened but says that the southern Edge sect Wishes the best for master Quang the vice president passes by and says he will remember However to say that everyone in the southern Edge sect wants something like this would be an exaggeration MOX sound has to stay quiet stands there
and isong hangs his head low he's about to apologize but mung tells go to return to the sect and he warns isong that since he made this mess he'll stay until they regain the vice president's favor poor isong stays silent biting his tongue but he has no choice but to say he understands later in the room the doctor Says the boy is in critical condition they could use all kinds of treatments but there was no guarantee he would recover 100% Jang we asks if at least the boy's life is not in danger and the man
says yes he then feels relieved he asks when the boy will recover and the man says maybe in about 3 days jangu relaxes looking at the boy he couldn't have imagined that the only hope of curing his father was now unconscious this child was the only person who Managed to improve his father's condition even if just a little he knows that in the end this boy is his only chance to save his father's life and to think that he would be beaten to the point of losing Consciousness anyone who respected the honor of the trading
company would never do such a thing the southern Edge SE had become far too arrogant the doctor then asks if he is sure the boy can really cure his father to him it was hard to believe however Jangu explains that many renowned doctors came there and did nothing but the boy was able to describe the entire illness without even seeing it not to mention he saw the boy improve his father's Health right in front of his eyes he wasn't trusting the boy blindly but because he's sure the boy was sent by the heavens that's why
they must ensure by any means that he recovers as best as possible mate Falls someone opens the door and enters the room a man In a cloak stares at Chong Wong's sleeping body he prepares an attack and says he personally has nothing against the boy but this is the price he has to pay for getting in their way he raises his hand and Strikes at the boy's neck or rather right beside his head because Chong mayang wakes up and Dodges with a smile he grabs the man's arm he stands up and says found you our
boy is already laughing asking if the cat got his tongue the man activates the power in His other hand and attacks but Chang mayong easily Dodges again steps on his back and lands on the other side but but the attacker notices and throws an explosion however the boy Dodges again the persistent assassin activates another attack in his hand saying that now he'll finish him since there's no Escape in midair he sends a palm strike but our boy kicks his attack away the man is left speechless as Chong Mayan Lambs on the ground saying he must
be Pretty confused and then tells him he wasn't the one trapped at that moment someone enters and the man turns to the side Jong and several guards are watching this Chan mayang says he's fallen right into the Trap jangu demands an explanation for what the man was doing there it's jabat Bon one of his father's servants the protagonist picks something up from the ground and says I Told You So he goes to the president's residence and says the person has Revealed himself jangu says he didn't want to believe it but seeing this it was impossible
to deny to think that his father's most trusted adviser was behind all of this jabak asks how they knew it was him but our boy simply says he had no idea he just made sure everyone believed he could cure Master hang and then got himself hurt to make himself vulnerable confused jabak asks what he would have done if he hadn't shown up but Chang mayong replies that he had no Choice if he died that night all the blame would fall on the southern Edge sect javak says so you're plotting with those bastards but our boy
just says he's wrong again he would have found another way to get hurt but luckily they called him for that duel javak says he heard the boy had internal injuries and was in critical condition but our boy just says tricking a local doctor isn't that hard then he says jabox seems to have a lot of questions but they're not There to satisfy his curiosity all he needs to know is that he fell into the Trap and was caught as someone trying to kill master kuang chabak stops and starts laughing at the sky everyone is confused
by the madman's laughter he asks K his attempt to kill the boy would show that he wanted to kill Master hang Jong asks confused what he's talking about Jabbok says Master hang means the world to him the vice president asks then why was he trying to kill the boy The Assassin responds that he's sure the boy is trying to deceive everyone there even the Masters couldn't cure the old man so how could this boy do anything Jong way however says if he really had doubts he would tried to convince him not kill him but jaac
reports saying the vice president has lost touch with reality and wouldn't believe him killing the boy was the only way to make him wake up to the truth our boy says all of this is just a bunch of blah blah blah And asks if he really has to listen to such pathetic excuses he then starts to approach he activates his Aura in his fist and heads toward Jabbok saying it's time to end this jabak counters with an aura slash but our boy throws his arm into the slash which hits his hand he then falls to
the ground and raises his arm telling everyone to pay attention his hand had the same color as the old man's with a curse he then says that the technique is called the Crimson Demon Hand being poisoned by someone with full control over this technique would end anyone's life jabo's attack wasn't enough to kill him but an ordinary person would certainly die for anyone trained slowly poisoning the old man without him noticing would be Child's Play and jabak was the only person who stayed by the old man's side all the time and had Mastery of this
technique at that moment John we yells to have him arrested the men move in and he says to Use maximum Force if necessary angry Jabbok says that his work was almost complete but now everything had gone wrong because of a damn child meanwhile nearby isong is on some stairs he remembers mung saying that since he made the mess he would have to fix it he knows very well that this is his punishment for everything he did but at that moment an explosion happens nearby he's confused it was jabak using a demon Palm strike Hong mayong
says that jabak Is forcing him to get involved he tells him to stop making excuses because there will be time for that when he's in prison all jabak has to do now is take a little beating and pass out but jabot calls him insolent for thinking he's going to win this however our Bo just says that actually he's out of this now he looks to the side and says help is coming he then calls for Chong mang and says that a Great Hero from the southern sect had arrived to save the day sha Mayong is
a bit confused but our boy tells him to be the hero already sha mayong points to himself wondering if they're talking about him our boy points with his mouth telling him to look to the side he sees Jan we's face and understands that was the perfect opportunity for him to fix the mess he had made if that's the case de can't lose this chance and immediately jumps into action he Ys a jeok to prepare to be punished By The Sword of the Southern Sect with that he starts exchanging blows with jbac our boy already celebrates
saying finally it's over but chongu says they're still fighting as far as he can see however Chong mayang says it's impossible for a rookie to defeat someone who has been training for so long in the southern sect jangu says it's impossible since jabak orchestrated the whole plan but our boy says he just lowered his Kai to curse his hand and show everyone however it's clear that Jaak's Mastery is very low jangu says it seems Chong mayang really is a martial arts master the boy ch says of course and besides I'm the most experienced of all
the Masters in the world a little while later he's sitting on the stairs yawning while the Fight Continues inside he says it's been going on for an hour and that he should have handled it himself finally jabo's body falls to the ground isome is exhausted but Siver says the bastor has been defeated John we Thanks him and says he'll never forget the southern sex help in this matter with that the boy collapses to the ground expressing his gratitude our Boy comes in and saying finally meanwhile John we can't understand what just happened the problems that
have plagued the for the past year were resolved in 2 days by this boy you can't understand if it was really that simple or rather it was impossible to say it was simple since no one realized there was an Infiltrator to jongi it felt like some kind of Veteran resided in the body of that youngn boy he then asked Chang mayang how he knew beon was trying to harm his father or at least why he thought beon wanted his father dead our boy just says he has no idea but the Vice President says he orchestrated
the whole plan so he must have something in mind B this Sly smile Chang maang says he has no clue he's just here for the reward and obviously he knows that this Merchant group is quite honest so they won't try to bargain but then JN W says he forgot one small detail the reward wasn't for catching the villain but for helping his father recover who was still sick he wants to know if Chong mayang can actually do that our boy smiles and says of course jnu then says that if that's the case he'll guarantee a
reward for Mount HOA even if it costs the entire Trading Company our boy is shocked and grabs his hand jangu says There's no need to get so emotional but the protagonist asks if he's joking the old man is confused and our boy starts complaining saying that the reward is his not the sex he came here work hard so why would Mount HOA get the reward JN G thinks this boy is stranger than he imagined a little later our boy knows that now he just has to cure the master the plan has been perfect so far
and he had fun humiliating the southern sect but the real problem is just about to Begin he's not 100% confident that he can actually cure such an advanced illness of course to convince them he said he could but he's not entirely sure that's because the body he's in now isn't the body of the master of the Flores blade if the Demonic key starts attacking the old man's body during the process he might die in that state but he has no choice but to try something he asks Master Guang not to hate him if everything goes
wrong energy then starts To flow through his arm man he creates a small Chong Mayan made of floating energy our boy now faces the Demonic Kai directly thousands of snakes were circling the old man's body even though it was demonic energy from a novice it had been applied all over the body and he doesn't know if the energy he possesses will be enough to eliminate it the snakes advance and he says he has no choice but a try with that he begins slicing through the Demonic Kai outside Little by little the arm is being purified
and then he gets confused by something the single attack he may create a rupture in the middle of the Demonic Kai he starts feeling confident that maybe he can do it that's because his current body only contains the purest key anyone can carry if he had accepted any other energy he would have at least 10 times more now but it's exactly because he only possesses pure energy that it's so easy to combat the Demonic one now the only problem was whether Master hang could survive this internal battle he continues attacking and dissipating all the key
while begging the old man to hold on just a little longer he was almost done with the job he delivers one more attack but then something unexpected happens the snakes begin to flee from him he wonders where they are going when he opens his eyes he sees the old man's body the Demonic Kai had all gathered in his head Trying to cure the old man's head directly was much more risky however leaving him in this state wasn't a good option either if he presses forward the old man might die but if he backs off he
will definitely die the decision wasn't easy but had to be made if these were the choices he would take the direct route with that the spiritual energy moves directly toward the old man's head however what he does is use his own body to start pulling the energy into himself His hand turns red and his entire body starts to crack man he pulled in too much demonic energy he collapses to his knees stain not to underestimate him a master of the fluorescent blade couldn't die to something as idiotic as this but his vision starts to blur
his Consciousness begins to fade and he clenches his fist saying he won't pass out there if he blacks out with all let Kei floating in his body he'll die for sure especially considering that a Child's body is much more vulnerable he assumes his spiritual form within his own body looks at the Demonic key and tells it to come at him the snakes attack once again but he Dodges steps on them and starts walking toward them one slash and he opens a riff through the middle of them but once again they come in to bite him
and manage to trap him but the head is dislodged and he appears from within however he starts to wonder what's happening the Demonic Cai in his Body was moving much faster he slashes another one but realizes he can't keep keep track of their movements that's when a horde manages to attack him again another flash of light and he shreds the lot of them something had changed the Demonic Kenny seemed to be getting aggressive because it knew it was being cornered and now the fact that he had little energy left was a problem because this battle
dragged on he wouldn't stand a chance the curse was starting to take Over his body he leaves to dodge another attack but another one comes in midair to grab him man he takes the bite and is carried away he tightens his grip on the sheath but at that moment he drops the sword because another snake bites his arm and another bites his body and the poor kid is being devoured trapped by the bites he can't do anything he is then forced to use his last resort something he wanted to avoid because it would affect his
body he begins to open All the energy points in his body with that the aura that had been sealed begins to flow throughout the area as it fills his entire body he creates an explosion in every limb as the energy surged he was in agony his body was breaking apart but the curse was slowly being undone until finally the Demonic key seems to leave him the poor kid falls to the ground completely purified his little body was even emitting smoke he opens his dies and grabs his chest in Shock he immediately stands up saying it
was a close call he almost died this time he decides he better never try something like that again since this had way more demonic energy than he could handle as he thinks how lucky he was Hong starts to wake up this catches our boy's attention and the old man turns his head he asks who is there Kang mayang says finally you're awake and when I ask who he is he says let's just say I'm your savior the old man asks if He has already reached hell our boy tells him to stop being rude after Master
hang regains consciousness things quickly returned to normal at the UNH Trading Company if Chong Mayan hadn't discovered Jabbok plans he would have eventually destroyed the entire family and stolen the company after much insistence they discovered that Jabbok owned another Trading Company which had gone bankrupt due to unaz success however our boy couldn't care less Everyone has a sad story but that doesn't give them the right to become criminals the only thing he wants to know is how that guy obtained the Crimson hand according to the man he found a fallen body with various scriptures nearby
to Chang mayang that was quite anticlimactic but it was better this way because if it really was the demon cult things wouldn't have been so easy either way hear the master and discover that the cult wasn't involved So it was a happy ending as the savior of the company he was honored with a banquet he ate and drank everything he wanted after all those guys had a lot of money while he was happily singing Someone outside said he should rest it was Master Guang who said that when he fell asleep he was in worse shape
than now he enters asking permission and quires if the boy is Master Chong mayang now chubby Chong mayang asks if the old man doesn't remember when he woke up Maybe he had gained a few pounds since that day jangu says the boy had eaten his weight and food in just 3 days the chubby man then asks how he can help and the old man says he'll get straight to the point he apologizes for the impertinence but want to asks something of the young Master the old man starts to kneel and then Bose asking if he
would please accept his gratitude it was thanks to the boy that he could still breathe so he didn't even know how to Repay this debt still afraid our boy says there's no need to Bow but the old man replies that he has no idea how he will repay this debt but he will do the best he can what he wants it was the opportunity to repay it and if the boy wanted anything he should ask without hesitation however our boy says that as a follower of The Virtuous path he cannot accept anything for saving a
life doing so would shame is sect especially since he is here without Mount who's Permission the old man seems a bit confused by this our boy simply says that it was such an urgent matter that he couldn't wait for the sex permission the old man's eyes light up asking if he really went that far for him and he says that if he wanted they wouldn't tell the sect about this but chubby man smiles and asks if he's sure they won't tell the old man says yes and Chong maang immediately pulls out a little notebook from
his shirt Master Wang asks what That is aroy says it's just a few notes because that his age his memory isn't that great the two are confused by this age talk Master hang then asks what the notes are for our boy flips through the pages saying didn't you say I could ask for anything then the master starts to understand that little notebook contained everything the boy wanted and the chubby man asks if they could start sometime later jangi asks his father how he's feeling he picks up the cup and Says that strangely his body feels
lighter than ever it's as if he's gotten 10 years younger Jong Wei says all of this is very strange but then his father asks if there's something he wants to say since his health is better he knows his son isn't just there to talk about that the son stays silent for a second he calls his father and then calls him president he says he heard of that he plans to end negotiations with the southern sect and also promis a great Reward to mount HOA his father confirms this once again Jong hesitates he then reminds him
that the southern sect is the greatest power among all the sects in shanki they will be turning their backs on such a powerful group and align themselves with Mount HOA which is basically bankrupt this would be extremely dangerous even if it was to show gratitude to that young boy analyzing the entire situation he thinks the reward is a bit excessive however And his father insists on doing this he should at least maintain negotiations with the subm sect the old man slams The Cup on the table and asks what the main role of a merchant is
John we is a bit uneasy searching for the words then he says the role of a merchant is to make deals that follow The Virtuous path and enrich the local economy at the same time making a positive contribution to the country and the world his father spits out his tea and starts laughing he Says that's a very idealistic View for the vice president but those are just a bunch of pretty words because he already knows the truth the obligation of a merchant is to make money they need to seek profit above all else even if
sometimes they have to go against The Virtuous path if a merchant wants to do good they do it with the money they earn because for someone who deals in business there is no good or evil in money itself so the concern is only Efficiency John Lee asks if he understands correctly his father's plan is to make money through the bankr Mount haa but Master Wong asks if he's forgotten how he made the trading company so big a natural instinct to find Opportunities to see something undervalue with great potential and invest in it before anyone else
whether it's a marshall sect or even another Trading Company jnu knows that's how his father made un had the largest company In shanki however he insists saying he doesn't see why they should invest in Mount haa since it has no potential but then he thinks of the boy and says it does he agrees that right now Mount Hua can't compete with the southern sect but if it continues to grow at the rate he believes it will they'll only need to maintain a good relationship and thus they would have an unimaginable return on this investment however
the son couldn't believe it saying that this Just made him even more confused if Mount H didn't Thrive they would lose everything since there was no guarantee it would succeed but the father said that jangu was speaking from a place of ignorance a merchant isn't just someone who bets on the likelihood of things going well they would make Mount HOA succeed the plan wasn't to wait for the sect to grow on its own he himself would ensure that mount H flourished again in his life as a merchant he had met Countless people but none had
impressed him as much as that boy it was as if his whole life he had been looking for something old and suddenly he was awakened by a dragon ordinary people like the two of them had trouble understanding martial artists but he didn't mean to understand and just trust that eventually the truth would reveal itself if the rewards he gave the boy created a bond the company would have no choice but to prosper to him this was a Small price to pay for success in life jangu however hesitated asking if it was really such a small
price the old man fell silent and admitted that the boy had taken five times s more than he had intended to pay he cursed that the Rascal really knew how to negotiate the son smiled saying that he didn't know why but his father's mind was already made up if that's what he was thinking he was happy to follow his orders but he still wasn't completely convinced that's Why he would give his best every day to ensure his doubts vanished from his heart and personally he would make sure that mount haa also followed a path to
success the father observed and said he was pleased to hear that from his son back with our boy Chong maang knew that this master had another motive for investing so much a merchant like that wouldn't give away a Fortune just out of gratitude but he didn't care much about what the merchant expected in return After all he could just ignore any request a merchant made a child might feel indebted but he was an old man and couldn't care less about that that's when someone approached the chubby boy it was isong who stopped in front of
him our boy asked what he was doing there again however isong pulled out a sword and handed it to him he told him not to worry that he had no bad intentions but if he allowed it he wanted a rematch another duel but this time a real one he Had realized that he had been used as a tool to reveal that man's true intentions our boy said that calling in a trap was a strange way of putting it since he knew that isong was trying to set a trap to get him out of the city
but he was willing to let the past stay in the past he just wanted to know what that had to do with him fighting again heung explained that he had been humiliated in public put in Mortal danger and used as a pawn in the boy's Plans but it was his own fault for being deceived yet the only thing he kept thinking about was their practice fight before everything happened what had occurred there still escaped his understanding our boy asked if that's why he wanted another fight and Ison confirmed it he admitted he had no idea
but he already knew the boy was much stronger than him what he wanted was to understand what happened that day Chong mayong seemed to like this guy who was Asking for another fight even though he had been humiliated he thought isong wanted to beat him up for everything that had happened but this was a surprise he told isong to think carefully or he would regret it but isong smiled and said he was sure the two then faced each other in the arena isong couldn't believe how small the boy was about 10 years younger than him
at least a level of difference in martial arts it was as if a second class Disciple could defeat be a third class one this strange difference made the poor guy tremble and sweat even though he was much older he still felt a sense of Oppression it was as if he were standing in front of one of the Elders of his sect in theory it should have been impossible for someone so young to have such a powerful Aura but he decided you would have to see for himself Kong mayong then said that isong was sharp he
hadn't done anything yet to intimidate The guy but he was already trembling because he could sense his power perceiv receiving something like that showed that he actually had a lot of potential K mayong noted that he could see the boy would have a late start he knew that the person in front of him was one of those people who would grow infinitely stronger the more they trained perhaps in the distant future he would even become the strongest swordsman of the Southern sect and if that was the case Chong mayang was willing to teach him a
few things he raised his hand and told him to come isan readed his sword flicked it to the side and cracked his neck our boy recognized that as an illusion technique but it wasn't something commonly used in the southern sect Ison then warned him he had realized there was no chance that's why he had to start with the strongest technique he had several Shadows of his hand began to appear and he warned Chan Wayan he was going to use the 12 snow pedal strikes technique but our chumby boy didn't seem happy about it and called
him a bastard isome however threw himself forward activating the technique our boy watched in anger man he passed through breaking the sword and sending the guy flying the boy was left floating in the air before he could hit the ground our boy was already beside him he grabbed him by the shirt and lifted him up cursing him once again he asked where He had learned that technique this 12 snoped thing was pure nonsense the rest of the world might might be fooled but it wouldn't work on him that's because this was a technique he knew
deeply it was one of the Inu core techniques of Mount hoah known as the dispersal of p a technique that had been lost even within Mount haah itself so why was this guy from the southern sect using something like that IA barely conscious mutter that he finally understood the disparity Between him and Chang mayang was like looking at a ghost the poor guy started to lose his mind wondering if this was what death felt like some time later he opened his eyes he was in a hospital battered he tried to sit up K Mayan told
him that his internal injuries were being treated and would heal soon isong still didn't understand anything but Chong Mayan was already asking about the technique the 12 snow pedal technique isong confirmed that was indeed the name The protagonist couldn't believe that they had stolen such a technique so blatantly and worse nobody in the world not even within Mount haa had noticed that's because no one remembered what the techniques were like back then he then asked who had taught this technique and isong said any disciple above the second year could learn it our boy wanted to
know if even the elders were using it Ison replied that as far as he knew the elders had learned it at the Moment it was only being taught to first and second degree disciples this caught Chong mong's attention if not all the elders knew this technique then one of them must be teaching it to the disciples which confirmed that the bastard who had stolen Mount H's techniques was still alive as an elder of the Southern sect it was all too obvious what happened when Mount hula was invaded by the demon cult hundreds of members died
on the 100 foot Mountain Leaving few survivors most of them children they had likely received some help someone probably appeared shouting to save the mount ho disciples and the southern sect Warriors rushed into battle K mayong had long suspected something like this after all it would have been shameful for any martial sect not to help another being attacked by the demon cult the problem was that under the guise of being allies some of the Tums had been stolen and perhaps the Rest of the books had not been burned by the demon cult a century ago
they had sacrificed all their lives to save the land from this great evil and yet they had been betrayed by those they saved the most shameful thing was that they had stolen the technique and then given it the name snow pedal he stood up and told Ison that it would be better if he didn't learn that technique Ison confused asked why Shan mayong smacked him on the head and told him not to ask Just to obey they felt silent and Chong mayang explained that it was a technique he would never Master the poor guy was
still confused our boy was fuming and would have beaten him up more if it weren't for the fact that it was thanks to him that he had discovered all of this he then explained that the southern sex techniques follow a style that requires staying true to the fundamentals because of this people practicing it must feel like everything Is slow and heavy but it was a type of study that became infinitely stronger the more time you dedicated to it however this snow pale technique went completely against that philosophy if Ison want to become a true marshal
arts master he would have to abandon that knowledge a sword strike with so many variations didn't fit the philosophy of the Southern sect he asked if Isa understood and stared at him but the poor guy was too clueless and still Confused aroy was Furious that he had to teach the philosophy of the guy's own sect to him but then he began to wonder why these idiots had started to create a variation they couldn't even Master that's when he stopped to think maybe he was the reason they had gone so far at least that's the thought
that cross his mind that's because in the past he used to go around the city beating up all the Disciples of the Southern sect surely the members there had taken great pride In the techniques they had learned until he showed up and started beating everyone down perhaps this had led to doubts about their own techniques what they didn't understand was that Marshall power isn't determined by the strength of the techniques but by the skill of the individual the strangest part was that they might not even have realized they were using a mount HOA style isong
star at his own hand thinking about this philosophy of his sect but then our boy Turned around saying he was leaving isong called after him but our boy told him to forget everything he had said the path he should follow couldn't be determined by anyone else the advice he gave might have been useful but he was still the one who would make his own decisions that's why he had to stop and think for himself about the pack he wanted to follow at that moment isong stood up and thanked him for the wisdom he had shared
our boy turned around Smiling and with that the chubby guy left he stood there saying that this was very strange it was almost as if he had met an old sage but outside our boy was already thinking about going to the southern sect and beating everyone up he looked up at the sky talking to his brother jamu saying those bastards had stolen everything so how could he have self-control if he were as strong as he used to be he would already be in the middle of the sect but that wouldn't Work now first he needed
to get stronger as quickly as possible because the Marshal world is ruled by strength and those bastards had messed with the wrong person meanwhile back at Mount haa someone was tapping their feet saying that maybe he had been robbed or killed it was Yan Jong who said that since cha mayang had been gone for 7 days days something urgent must have happened juel said he hoped it was urgent enough that everyone would forgive him apparently Jel had been called again by the leader and he hoped they weren't in trouble unen was listening to someone shouting
that the boy was very insolent it was hayang Yang who said the brat had disappeared for 7even days and he was just a third class disciple he told the leader that this wasn't something that could be overlooked or how would people respect the sect sang told him to calm down saying that maybe it was an accident but hayang yaong said that even If it was an accident it happened outside the sect and he didn't have permission to leave his friend insisted saying maybe he fell in mountains he turned to the leader and asked if they
could send a search team but the finance guy wanted to know why this third class disciple had been allowed to roam freely in the first place another one banged the table telling him to stop questioning the leader's decisions the complaints continued saying they were Pushing the limits and Breaking All the Rules the Elder stayed silent for a second then opened his eyes and said that's enough the finance guy was startled and immediately sacked down apologizing the Elder side wondering if he had been wrong to trust that boy but he found strange because the boy didn't
seem like the type to cause trouble unim stood up and said he would form a group to start searching for him but then someone shouted that he had returned Immediately the Elder opened his eyes and asked who someone shouted the brat Chong mayong was approaching the gate everyone ran asking if it was true and someone confirmed it the Elder rushed out saying he had to see for himself but the finance guy told him to wait the Elder asked what was wrong hayang Yang said he knew the leader was worried about the boy that was because
despite being so young he had helped the sect a lot the Elder told him to get to the Point hayang then said not to C the boy too much or could demotivate the other disciples at Mount huah people were raised to follow The Virtuous and righteous path that's why even the most precious disciple needed discipline the leader sighed in relief saying he would never forget that more than anyone he wanted the boy to have a bright future and be disciplined but then unim said that wasn't enough disobeying orders was extremely serious and you should be
Confined to The Cliff Cave for at least 6 months the leader was shocked saying that he was just a third class disciple and still didn't know things well but you may insisted that at least a proportionate punishment was necessary the leader asked if everyone agreed and all the elders said yes he calmed down and said all right mam wondered what the boy had been doing finally our boy entered the gate as soon as he looked ahead there were the five Elders walking Toward him he looked at the leader and greeted him respectfully the leader observed
him and called him over he immediately asked why he had been gone for so long our boy simply replied that it was unavoidable but hayang Yong told him to stop being so insolent as he was just a third class disciple no explanation he could give would be satisfactory the SE Master then told him to explain himself but warned him of the punishment our boy looked a bit awkward Then someone asked for permission to enter the finance guy was startled it was the people from The unat Trading Company asking for likes on this video that helps
do you all remember that the last chapter ended right as hang was arriving at Mount Hua stating that the child had done nothing wrong the finance official from Mount hu was shocked and asked what Master hang was doing there Wong simply replied that he hoped everyone was well at that moment the Sect Elder approached expressing how wonderful it was was to see him again 7 days ago he had heard that Juan was not in good health so it seemed he had recovered enough to make a trip Juan responded that it was all thanks to the
young boy it was because of him that he was still able to breathe so he requested that the boy not be punished not only had the boy saved him but also the honor Trading Company the boy with a mischievous look replied that perhaps he Had done so a while later in the meeting room they asked if he had truly saved Master hang and how he had managed to do it the board explained that there was a plant called five in Sprout it looked very similar to another plant commonly consumed but this one was extremely poisonous
as everyone knew he had been a beggar before joining Mount HOA since Beggars had to eat whatever was available he had learned what was poisonous despite this some Beggars Still consumed this plant and it was through such incidents that he discovered the antidote hayon Jang asked if he had really detected this poison in the master to which the boy confirmed sag mentioned that he had heard of similar treatments and that it seemed the members of the beggar sect did indeed possess such knowledge of course that wasn't exactly what he did but everything he said about
the beggar's SE knowledge was true he had already Arranged for master Wang to support his story so there was nothing to worry about hayang Y young stated that if this was indeed true it would be enough reason for his absence over the past few days in fact he believed that Chang mayang should be rewarded instead of punished however the great Sask disagreed saying that while the boy might have done something good during his absence it did not change the fact that he had disobeyed the rules of the Place he needed to learn a lesson and
could not go unpunished hayan Jang pondered this so-called lesson he then asked since when an order of his could take precedence over a human life to him it would be wrong to punish a disciple who broke the rules to Save a Life Mount hula should always follow the path of virtue and what was more virtuous than saving a life that is why he believed that the orders of Mount Hua did not surpass what was truly right the great Sask apologized saying he spoke without thinking he then closed his eyes deciding that was sufficient in truth
he expressed that anger because he knew the sect leader would oppose him however this way the other Elders would not be able to use the same argument judging by how the leader responded he was sure the leader understood his intentions then the leader stood up and approached cha mayam calling out to him when asked what it was the leader patted his head saying He had acted well however it seemed our boy was not too pleased with this angry at being treated like a child he nonetheless thanked the leader shortly afterward hayan John entered the meeting
room and announced that the Yona company was there to propose a deal with Mount H despite wanting to reward Chong Wan the boy insisted on helping the sect instead the elders were all thrilled Wang then stated that he was there to seek permission to begin investing in Mount Haa hayan was a bit confused and asked if he truly wanted to invest here the representative from y company then clarified that investment might not be the right word what he intended was more of a sponsorship this was because an investment required a return in the future while
the sponsorship did not even the leader asked if he was certain about this as he had already been more than generous to the Mount HCT however wam responds that if all he wanted was To praise this place he wouldn't have brought the entire company that's why he plans to bet everything he has on Mount who's future he brought all the administrators which is why he requested this meeting he wants to discuss proposals on how Mount HOA should should move forward from now on the leader at a loss for words expresses his deep gratitude he Praises
Chang Mayan stating that through his Good Deeds he has brought even more Fortune to mount HOA Truly he was an example for everyone present he then asked to speak privately with the two other Elders asking everyone else to leave outside sang Pat's Chang Mong on the back saying he did a great job the boy feeling a bit embarrassed and he didn't do anything special but sang counters saying he is too modest sag then walks away remarking that Chong Mayan not only saved a person but someone who bring blessings to mount haa however someone else calls
out to Him turning around is the Great Master Sask who acknowledges that while Chong mang's actions were for a good cause he couldn't deny that he failed to follow the rules the boy apologizes admitting that he acted without thinking nonetheless the master continues to scold him saying he is disobeying the leader's orders and should not think for a moment that he can always find an excuse for everything the boy becomes frustrated thinking that this old man Always schols him but then he notices something odd the master is smiling happily sasset walks away saying that if
Chong mayang understands he can go Chong mayang looks back realizing that the old man was scolding him but couldn't stop smiling he watches his sasu and sang Walk Away chatting about how the SE has been very fortunate lately fortunate nonsense thanks Chan Mayan it's all thanks to my hard work he knows it will take a long time to restore the place's Former glory remembering chimma he mutters that he's finally feeling the weight of Age Two lifetimes Worth to be exact meanwhile in the meeting room wam informs everyone that from now on he will manage all
business in the city of huian This Way Mount hu will never have to worry about money again however he has two conditions the first is that any profit must be reinvested into the sex growth the leader agrees as Mount Hua sees no benefit in accumulating wealth Hang then states that Chang Wong should receive privileges Beyond those of third-year disciples the leader is a bit puzzled as the term privileges is vague especially since the boy already enjoys privileges far beyond any other third-year student so what more did hang want to ensure for him at that moment
sang suggests allowing the boy to learn the techniques from the newly discovered Tums such as the cherry blossom techniques the leader is about to agree But the finance officer objects Everyone Falls silent and the leader asks why Wang opposes it Wang replies that merely giving him a few techniques feels more like a punishment than a reward the group reluctantly agrees know Chong mayang would not be pleased with such a reward hayang Yong then slams the table stating that they must give the boy a truly satisfying reward that reflects their happiness with his accomplishments Bader remains
silent curious about why Hayang Yong suddenly seems so determined to reward the boy the finance officer continues shouting that Chong mayang deserves much more it is thanks to this child that the sect finally has money and the legendary support of Master Quang the leader then appears to understand what's going on hayan Yang has always been the head of Mount who was finances as someone responsible for the sex money things were never easy in a crowded room everyone ran around Shouting that debts were piling up with no way to pay looking to the heavens he had
once told everyone they were broke and wouldn't be able to pay anyone anymore managing f finances for a declining sect was no easy task for anyone now he understands that this reaction is not surprising after years of barely surviving he can finally breathe easier with a bit of money coming in this change in his attitude toward Chang mayang is therefore clear He keeps insisting that the reward must be great as this boy can bring even more wealth to the sex coffers the leader interjects saying that the boy is more than just someone to fill the
sex coffers but the finance officer insists saying they cannot mistreat their Golden Goose he keeps talking and talking his face turning red until someone finally grabs him and tells him to wait a moment as he is escorted out still shouting that Chong mayang deserves a reward the Door closes the remaining members in the room agree that his reaction is understandable given how tough his job has been yet one of them remarks that regardless what he said was true Chang mayang should be rewarded to show the rest of the sect that good deeds do not go
unnoticed the leader asks what He suggests to which hang responds that since Chang mayam and Drew is going out so much he could be the one to communicate with the Yan a group The Leader remarks that simply making him an Aaron boy between them and the Wang group doesn't seem like much of a reward however Wong insists saying he is certain Chan Wong would be extremely pampered whenever he visits the company and he does like going out they then discuss another potential reward such as a technique just as they are deliberating the finance officer interjects
again insisting they give him money so he can bring in even more money But he is quickly escorted out as well the leader is left wondering when his friend became so obsessed later on top of a mountain Chong maang observes the sect and remarks to master hang that his performance was impressive hang replies that while it was true they are now in the same boat however Chong mayong humbly states that he was simply in the right place at the right time and does not consider himself worthy of being in the same boat as someone with
such Accomplishments Wong responded that he has no intention of being in the same boat as Mount Hua and clarifies that he would have had no interest in this place if it weren't for the young Master being present Chang mayang laughs claiming he is being overestimated but Wong replies that as a lifelong Merchant he Prides himself on his ability to judge people's character without this skill he would have fallen into Into Obscurity long ago and the same sharp eye tells him that This new partnership will change the course of history for both sides CH mayong scratches
his face and agrees but adds that he dislikes phrases like we're in the same boat because he doesn't need Security in his life people who showed loyalty through words often ended up betraying him leaving him no time for such conversations he recalls how during their March against the Demonic cult many people cheered for them but none of those people were there when Mount Hua Needed help Wong replies that he too isn't fond of such words when he uses the term boat as a merchant it merely means that both parties want to reach the same destination
as long as their goals are aligned there's no reason to change course since two people R together move faster than one cha Mayan acknowledges that this partnership is mutually beneficial but notes that the conversation only reinforces Juan's belief that the boy thinks similarly to Him in Chong Mayan's mind there is no doubt that mount hoel will one day regain its former glory and such confidence alone is commendable Wong pledges that the trading company will support Mount hula to the fullest and asks if Chong mayang understands what that that means the boy replies that it means
they will turn their backs on the southern Edge sect however they didn't ask for it so hang should not be presumptuous and thinking they are Considering it Wong laughs saying he expects nothing in return and is merely showing the magnitude of his intent cha Mayan laughs as well stating that if that's the case there's nothing to worry about however beneath the surface both are wary of each other Wang thinking that the boy is too clever for his age while Chong Mayan knows that a merchant like Juan never acts without a reason a moment later Juan
calls in over again saying that he possessed is exceptional Talent and has never met anyone his age with such potential y mayang thinks to himself that of course since he is living his second life wangan advises him to hide some of his talent from now on the world is a frightening Place filled with demons and monsters roaming freely greed drives men to kill over a few coins and being exceptional in such a world would track those with ill intentions K mayang laughs saying he is once again being overestimated as he is Just a silly little
child hang laughs and says that if that's the case he will take his leave as he turns away Wang asks him to wait and mentions that he would like help with a certain matter if it isn't too much trouble shortly afterward Wong departs before leaving he glances back recognizing that the boy truly is a prodigy he couldn't read his intentions because the boy was Adept to hiding his thoughts he was certain that even a youthful Aura Jan Wang projected Was a fad Mount Hua had become the home of a dragon W was the first to
discover this and if he played his cards right he could transform meet Yun a Trading Company into the greatest in the realm his son appears asking if his father had a good conversation Wang confirms and calls for jongi informing him that the plans have changed once again he prays for Chong mayang knowing they have much to do walking away he calls for his son saying it is time to start moving the Pieces with that the old man boards the carriage and departs our boy remarks that hang is truly a Sly old Fox clearly he operates
on a completely different level compared to the current Elders of Mount Hua but it makes sense he survived in the Cutthroat world of merchants which in many ways is more ruthless than the World of Martial Arts practitioners still for now he had man managed to overcome Mount who's greatest obstacle poverty unfortunately there was no time To rest and celebrate while the southern Edge sect might be neglecting its core principles Mount Hua had to ReDiscover and relearn all of its foundations finally it was time to focus on the martial arts of the sect the impact of
the wi group on Mount H's Enterprises was tremendous very quickly all of Mount H's businesses in hen were stabilized in a matter of days the once empty streets became Lively and bustling again this new found stability was evident even in The expression of the finance officer mount hul hadn't experienced such peace and stability in decades it was as if the past was finally behind them and they were now building a new chapter of History however things weren't going well for everyone K mayang announced that it was time for one last repetition the poor disciples were
sweating as they pushed through their push-ups our boy urged them for just one more while they protested saying they had already been Doing the last one for ages he scolded them saying it was their fault for always slacking off on the final round suddenly he began to wobble The Rock he was sitting on was being held up by a struggling disciple who couldn't take it anymore or almost couldn't as the determined youth pushed through Jang mayong demanded one more repetition Jong watching smiled our boy informed everyone that their physical training would resume at dawn the
next day when All this began Jong had his doubts about whether this kind of training would truly help with martial arts Mount who's sword style emphasized speed numerous openings and variations that's why he believed that strength focus training would contradict the sex style but the opposite proved true the stronger their bodies became the faster and more precise their strikes were the improvements were clear and everyone grew to enjoy training more and more at First they would count down the minutes until the training ended but now some even stayed for extra time they had changed a
great deal except for one thing boy the disciples were ripped now they proudly declared that this was the result of hard work Jong began to feel like this place was becoming a bodybuilding sect was it Mount ho or Mount muscle he told the disciples to stop training for a bit it was time for breakfast then he asked Joe giel if he Had seen Chong mayang who hadn't shown up for training that day Joe giel explained that medely Chong mayang had been skipping morning training Jong noted that since they began training of their own free will
Chong mayang had also been absent he was certain that Chang mayang wasn't sleeping in since he would vanish before anyone else in the morning job jel suggested that perhaps he was in hugan since the yanha company might meet him even when not present Chong mayang still seemed to be the busiest person in the sect Jo giel then mentioned that he had been wanting to ask something for a while he knew they had grown much stronger recently but he had no idea how far they had Truly Come Jang replied that strength is relative they would who
need some kind of measure to compare themselves against but since everyone was growing stronger together it was hard to know how they compared to others Jong believed they were twice as Strong but joil asked only twice Jang admitted that even that was difficult to say it was just a guess he said he could defeat three versions of himself from a few months ago on his own now but joil reminded him that the competition was coming they needed to become even stronger much stronger than they were at that moment Jang smiled agreeing and said that when
Chong mayang showed up he would ask for an even tougher training regimen the scene then shifts to Chong Mayang opening his eyes at dawn he went into the forest muttering that this was his personal training but complaining about always having to hide in the mountains unfortunately it was necessary since he had to repeat the techniques thousands of times for his body to memorize the movements it was tedious and Relentless but it was the only way at that moment his sword was beginning to remember the movements of his former body in some ways he could imitate
what He used to do but executing the techniques perfectly was impossible this showed that he needed constant training to truly become one with the sword the problem was that he couldn't let the sect members know what he knew the place would become chaotic and sometimes ignorance was Bliss that's why every morning he climbed to the peak of the mountain this time however he found someone else training at the summit hair blowing in the wind blades slashing Through the air was this the first woman to appear in the story wait hold on a second I guess
it really is the first woman in this story when the work is good it doesn't need such things right our boy is curious watching intently he thinks that her beauty under the Moonlight is something poetic her movements are graceful powerful and elegant her sword strikes are delicate yet unyielding to him it resembles the old Mount HOA style but he has no idea How she knows it the techniques he thought were lost forever are being executed right in front of him what impresses him the most isn't the technique itself but the intention behind the sword suddenly
she stops and leaps in his Direction the blade is already at his neck as she asks who's there for a moment she pauses our boy is frustrated with himself for getting so lost in thought that he let her notice his presence the girl having never seen Him before demands to know who he is he simply stares thinking he should be asking her the same question was this girl but he notices the emblem on her robe indicating she belongs to mount haa besides that she is incredibly beautiful and it becomes clear this is Chong Mayan's weakness
in his past life he traveled to many places but rarely encountered a woman as lovely as her if he were truly a young man her appearance would have left him dumb struck the Sword inches closer and she demands an answer what now is she actually cutting his neck he points out that they are wearing the same uniform she lowers her arms slightly and he gestures at the symbol on his chest she then remarks that she doesn't recog I his face and asks if he is a third class disciple he confirms and she questions why he
is there as third class disciples are forbidden from leaving the sect he calmly replies that he received Permission from the leader she asks if that is true and confirms it again she accuses him of lying but Chong Mayan tells her she can ask the leader herself since it makes no sense to lie in his name she withdraws her sword of saying that if it's true it must be a pinch she finally shelds her sword and states that it's prohibited to spy on someone training privately Chang mayang counters that he has been using this spot to
train every day so why is she Intruder She dismisses his words saying he should have left the moment he saw her he replies that he stayed out of curiosity and heing to keep an eye on suspicious people near the sect she remains silent staring at him meanwhile our boy can't make sense of it from her lips he can tell she's angry seeing her turn away he's sure she's bad at arguing she appears to be someone skilled with a sword but terrible with words likely because her appearance deters most People from arguing with her she then
asks his name and he responds when he says he's Chong Wang she questions whether he was that name by the sect to which he replies it's the name he was born with she remarks that usually newer disciples receive the prefix Jong before their main name and wonders if he was really born with such a grand name he confirms and she nods saying it makes sense at that moment he realizes she's a bit slow in the uptake she closes her Eyes briefly that introduces herself as Isel u a second grade Disciple This makes her his senior
K mayong seems to recognize that she belongs to the backline of disciples she mentions that each generation receives names among Chong May aun and back but they skipped one generation or something like that family trees are confusing enough in his own family imagining theirs even harder she asks if that's all and questions his manners naturally he dislikes her Constant scolding but he blames his childish face he apologizes and respectfully greets his senior while internally wishing she would leave so he can continue his morning training she then states she will confirm with the sect leader if
what he says is true if she discovers he's lying there will be severe consequences with that she departs glancing back and calling him a strange child he left bewildered wondering why he's being scolded for no Reason but now he knows it's better to find a new place to train back at the sect everyone is eating and the mood is low our boy has no idea what's going on he hasn't seen them this downcast since they began training he turns to Jong and asks what's happening Jong explains that the seniors are returning today Jong mayang immediately
wants to know why that's a problem Jong warns him not to refer to them as bios buffoons unless he wants a big problem the boy asks if it's A problem for him or for the seniors JN admits he is an entirely sure in any case they had been training in isolation and were now returning to the sect our boy asks if they treat the other disciples poorly since everyone seems so down about it Jang replies that they don't go around hitting people for no reason like someone he knows immediately Chong mayang wants to know who
that person is and Jong tells him to drop it juel then mentions that it's because of The Huang competition feeding ignorance Chang mayang asks if it's a singing competition Jill explains that no it's the Marshall competition between Mount Hua and the southern Edge sect every 2 years in martial arts competition is held to compare the strength of each sect Jong says that it started as a friendly social Gathering but has changed over time nowadays it can hard to be called a competition anymore as the mount HOA disciples always lose Badly one of them still has
backed pain from the fight two years ago the disciples are murdering afraid of another fight and unsure if they'll survive this time Jan mayang simply asks if they really get beaten that badly every time JN confirms explaining that this is why the seniors went into isolated training now they've returned since the competition is approaching at this Chang mayang grins asking if there's a chance to fight against the Southern Edge sect he doesn't remember such a competition existing during his time at Mount haa so why did it start as soon as they weakened clearly there a
way for the southern Edge sect to humiliate Mount HOA even if they aren't back at the top of the world who won't sit by and watch his disciples get beaten he asks if they'll have a chance now that the seniors are back from training and Jong says it's hard to say the fact that they need such intense Preparation for what should be a friendly competition is already a bad sign even if their training has been successful everyone is still doubtful about deeding the southern Edge sect suddenly Chong mayong turns around and declares that they at
least need to win he then asks everyone if they're prepared to do whatever it takes to beat those guys they might get poisoned have their arms cut off but they must be ready to sacrifice everything to bring Glory to mount HOA if they trust him he guarantees they will win this competition the scene shifts to the sect Leader's house where he receives word that the disciples are returning from training onm asks why the competition which was supposed to be in 6 months was suddenly moved up the leader explains that the southern Edge sex sent a
message saying they needed it to be earlier this time confused unim says they still need more time and suggests Finding a way to delay the competition however the leader replies that it's unfortunately not possible UNAM tells the leader that mount Hua is currently on the rise things are going well they no longer need to worry about finances and have found a new path forward but they can't forget that at the end of the day they are a marshal sect although they've discovered new techniques there hasn't been enough time for everyone to learn them even if
they've mastered the Basics it's still not enough to go head-to-head with the southern Edge sect the problem is that losing again in a humiliating fashion to the southern sect will crush what little hope the new disciples have it might even cause some to give up on the sect or the Marshal path altogether the leader responds that he is also worried about this outcome but he doesn't believe that avoiding the competition will inspire more hope it might even be worse as it would make the Disciples think the leader has lost faith in their abilities he believes
that this year they have a small chance of winning even if the gap between them and the southern Edge sect is still significant a fair defeat in battle is nothing to be ashamed of it should serve as motivation to train harder but running away in entirely to avoid defeat is something no martial artist should ever do they cannot betray the sect out of fear of the competition's Consequences unen apologizes saying he spoke without thinking the leader says it's fine and instructs him to make sure the disciples are wellfed as they must be exhausted from training
he then thanks him and says you will warmly welcome their return with that the door closes leaving the leader standing quietly he goes to the window and gazes up at the sky to him it feels like a thorn is lodged in his heart every breath he takes hurts the poison will Continue to spread until his heart stops beating the competition with the southern Edge sect is truly approaching later someone asks if he's sure the win against jongan Jong and J Will comment that they're getting much stronger but they're still unsure Chong mayang confidently states that
yes they're getting stronger he opens his hand and says about this much Everyone Falls silent he laughs and says he's joking they've improved more than that he shows A slightly larger Gap with his hands to indicate their progress juel shouts asking how different that is CH mayong thumps his chest saying trained like a beast and can feel even his bones growing stronger kyang mayang reminds them it's only been a few months corn can triple in size but it wouldn't make sense to compare its size to a tree looking at them our boy knows they have
been evolving in a way he has never seen before however they still had a long way To go to compare to the former third class disciples if the southern Edge sect is still as strong as they were in the past right now there is no one in Mount haa who can win that fight perhaps Jill was one of the few exceptions he had a small chance of Victory if you face the right opponent it was the same for yum Jang but he would need even more luck than his friend these two were the strongest in
this group and the rest of their friends didn't stand a chance jel Then asks how they will defeat those guys art Moy says it's simple just get stronger John however wants to know how they will become strong enough to defeat the southern sect if they barely have any time our boy explains that's why he asked earlier is he prepared to die to win everyone realizes that he's about to change their training regime they are gathered in the middle of the night in the arena wondering why they're there someone asks if everyone has shown up of
Course it's him the Troublemaker JN confirms that everyone is there as requested as people begin to ask about the training he strikes the ground with his sword extending the blade forward everyone is shocked to see he's using a real sword our boy then asks if they want to know what the training will be this time it wasn't anything special nor would much change basically each of them just needed to die once the group is confused wondering if he means literally Die our boy casually moves the blade aside and says he'd rather die than lose to
the southern Edge sect but you believes in the potential of the seniors so they will surely win Jong says that if the Training Method guarantees Victory he will do whatever ever it takes but he wants to understand this dying business our boy says it's a good question and asks him to step forward jel is unsure if he means him he looks around and everyone is already turned Away left alone by his friends he steps forward saying he'll go first as soon as he stands before him our boy asks if he wants to become stronger to
which he replies affirmatively our boy then explains that it might sound strange but they are already strong enough what he means is that the training they've been doing wasn't useless Joel acknowledges that but doesn't understand why they supposedly have no chance against the southern sect our boy confirms they Don't have a chance and jel wants to know if they're strong or weak our boy remembers y own bake and knows that if that man is a disciple of the Southern sect clearly their strength hasn't changed much compared to the past the two before him are the
ones with the best chance of winning but the rest of the disciples would meet a lot of luck to win a fight or perhaps even with luck they would still lose he then explains that they don't lose to the southern Sect because they're weak it's because despite having strong bodies they're still using the same old movements joob gel confused asks what their doing wrong our boy asks what he thinks about when training in the way of the sword in maua there is only one answer to that question to master the body through the sword and
achieve enlightenment for a martial artist of this sect the sword is simply a means to attain Enlightenment however Jo giil knows that's not the Answer Chong My Own wants he then asks if they train to defeat opponents our boy says that's the kind of answer one would expect from a member of a dark sect not from The Virtuous Mount haa still he's not entirely wrong since they you train to win if that's the case then what do they need to do to win a a sword fight Joel answers that they need to become stronger and
our boy agrees if he's stronger he'll defeat the opponent but they need to look at it from a Slightly different perspective he tosses a wooden sword to Jo jel and says that from now on they'll start a little training exercise Jo jel is to give his all while Chong mayang will only make a single downward strike Jo giel confused asks if he really only intends to make one move our boy confirms and Jo J remains puzzled he knows he can't beat him but with the limitation of a single move perhaps he has a chance he
prepares at least not very confident before Beginning he asked if Chong mayam will be using a real sword and our boy confirms he asks if he won't get cut and our boy assures him he won't Jo J is still apprehensive says he doesn't want to get sliced in half and our boy asks why he's even questioning it now more confused Joe Gil wants to understand the purpose of this training he's certain Chan mayang knows what he's doing he asks if he can attack and our boy impressed comments that for someone Who's scared Jo giel sounds
confident Jo giel replies that it's thanks to him that he's been training as if his life depend on it our boy notices his trembling arm with a laugh he tells him to come at him at that moment Joel leaps forward and tells him to prepare himself he recalls everything he's been through and warns that it's nothing personal he uses the falling palal slash a Chong Mayan Dodges confused wondering why this guy seems to hate him so much Jo giol Prepares himself pivots and executes a seven-step strike once again he uses a pedal technique and once
again Chong mayong evades he was impressed by how quickly Jo giol was closing the distance in terms of raw talent he was comparable to to yys bake so he had every right to feel confident but cha Mayan evades once more while Jo Gil observes our friend ask why seems like Jo giel is gaining the upper hand it appeared he was doing better than expected however John points Out that this is only true if you look for an instant despite his aggressive attacks he hasn't managed to make Chang mayang alter his path even once what's worse
is that Chong mayang wasn't using any incredible evasive maneuvers every attack was being avoided with a simple s side step in some ways the fight looked choreographed with each attack barely missing by CM it was as if Chang mayang understood Jo J's movements completely this made him realize the gap between Them and the boy unfortunately with his training he couldn't accurately gauge Chong mang's true strength Jo giil swings again and Chong mayang Dodges once more Joel mutters to himself that it's always just a single sentim Mir every time he attacks he misses by a tiny
margin the strange thing is Chong maang seems to begin dodging even before the sword gets close demonstrating his certainty in Joe gel's movements it's frustrating given how hard he has Trained and how strong he thought he'd become but now he wonders if this is the limit of his progress looking at Chong mayong he declares it won't end like this Yan Jong looks shocked while Jo jul shouts that it's not over yet his sword becomes enveloped in an aura the other disciples are astonished since no one knew he could use Aura techniques at that moment he
charges at Chong mayang again he swings but once again Chang mayang Dodges dust rises from the ground And the wall is damaged while the floor is cracked meanwhile Chong mayang remains perfectly still standing off to the side Jo jel is exhausted and Chang mayang starts moving his blade as Joel looks up he sees Chang mayang preparing to strike announcing that this is the end before swinning his blade down the blade stops just 1 cimeter from Jo J's forehead the smoke swirling around the room Falls silent and Jo jel collapses to the ground trembling he can't
even Speak kyang mayang asks how it felt to experience death Jo giol still dazed mutters that he's a cursed tricker Chang mayang Simply Smiles and tells him to rest a bit he turns to the crowd and calls for the next person y Jong asks if he means him and Jo giel confirms that he's definitely the next Target from a distance Chong maing tells everyone to think carefully did they really think he would let them off that easily if no one steps forward he'll come after all of Them he leaves forward announcing that training is about
to begin the Knight passes with screams at coing everyone is sprawled on the ground exhausted and Chong maang asks Jo giil why he couldn't blot the attack he had warned that it would be a downward slash so why didn't he block it fuming joil explains that it's obvious Chang mayang was too fast even if he knew it was coming he couldn't predict when Kong Mayan acknowledges that he's right so why do They overthink it the poor boy is still confused Kong Mayan extends the blade and makes a simple slash to the side he explains that
as they can see it's straightforward Joel asks if it's really the same attack that was used against him Chan Mayan confirms it is but Jo giel insists it's impossible it seemed much faster before so surely he was holding back now but Chan Mayan explains that a sword aimed at someone's head is different regardless of speed that's why The downward slash he used was the same as one performed by someone with their level of strength all he needed to do was plant his feet firmly to prevent any energy loss transfer the movement to his fingertips and
combine it with his inner Force then simply execute a sideways slash that was the move he used Jo J quickly realized it wasn't about speed or a complex technique he truly perform a simple downward slash but without any wasted movement from the sidelines Yan Jong speaks up saying he understands now instead of trying to learn complex techniques they could Master they should in the limited time they have learn to use the bodies they've been training Kang Mayan agrees and adds that they must also embrace the mindset that every strike must be lethal a swordsman Strike
should carry the conviction that a second strike isn't needed every attack should be executed with the intent that a single blow is enough to end the Opponent Yan Jong quickly grasps that this was the essence of Chong Wayan's demonstration throughout the fight seeing it in action was much more obvious than just explaining it the difference between words about a deadly strike and experiencing a true deadly strike falling upon you was immeasurable the Disciples of the sect would have had no chance of understanding this concept if not for the attack he used however yam Jong then
points out that he seems To have forgotten that they are Disciples of Mount Hua as people from this place they should strive to defeat their opponents using Mount hua's techniques our boy then asks what the first strike in the six elements technique is Yan Jong replies that it's a downward slash our boy then asks if what he did wasn't based on the six elements technique of Mount Hua a technique that forms the foundation for all other fundamentals here every move Of Mount Hua must start with the six elements Tech technique and yet he sees a
bunch of novices who don't even know the first strike of the most basic technique trying to use the falling pedal technique he warns them that they need to understand once and for all if they don't Master the six elements there's no point in learning anything else from this sect a castle without a solid foundation will be destroyed by the slightest Breeze that's why they Must perfect the basics before moving on to other techniques someone stands up and says they understand the importance of the six elements but they aren't like him capable of generating such power
with just a basic technique even if it's shameful to admit all matters to him right now it's having the strength to humiliate the southern sect so all he wants to know is if they follow this teaching will they avoid being humiliated by the southern sect Jo old Stares and our boy says nothing he grabs him by the collar and demands he repeat that nonsense they need to forget about being humiliated by the southern sect because anyone happens to doesn't even deserve to live anymore how can a disciple of the legendary Mount HOA even think such
a ridiculous thing for a second he says once again that he will guarantee Victory there is no such thing as a good defeat in battle in battle you have to win whether by biting or Throwing sand in someone's face it doesn't matter what you do as long as you win he tosses juil aside and asks if they think that's cowardice if so they should ask the corpses on the battlefield what's left of their honor they need to win at any cost which is why they will train to crack open every opponent's head he orders everyone
to pick up their swords they're starting with 10,000 downward slashes the disciples bro and ask if they really Have to endure more we then see a flashback of Chang Mayan's past life an elder says that if that boy doesn't pass pass down what he knows they will lose many talents in the future his swordsmanship is too valuable to be forgotten a jamman replies that he understands but cannot let someone suffer so much under Chang Mayan basically becoming his Apprentice is the harshest punishment anyone can receive in this sect the Elder still believes That hitting someone
to teach them works for everyone our boy speaks up saying he's been listening behind them the whole time the elders ask how long he's been there back in the present he says that old man was always rude to him clearly there's nothing wrong with the way he teaches since all the disciples are training well it's like teaching a baby to walk except these brats don't even know what walking is apparently he'll have to do everything himself here But this time he wants to create a glory that lasts much longer than what he built before a
legacy that will be unbreakable even after he's gone because the glory of a single person is like a pedal that eventually wilts his plan this time is to be like a tree whose Roots endure and thrive in a region but all of that is easier said than done looking around he hopes that strange girl doesn't show up again it's 1:00 in the morning so surely she won't come to Train at this hour he throws his sword to one side plants his foot and gets ready he doesn't have a second to waste he's no longer just
trying to reach who he was in his past life he knows that wasn't enough he failed to defeat CH if CH hadn't been exhausted by the alliance's combined attacks he would never have had a chance to take him down back then he truly believed he was the strongest swordsman in the world but in the end he was just a failure when Facing Chama he wonders what would happen if he could defeat him alone maybe then no one would have died the sect leader the brothers of Mount hoah they would have all returned and lived in
peace none of this would have happened if if he had been stronger that day K's attack comes down as he resolves that he must ensure such a person doesn't return perhaps someone even worse will appear in this life so to protect Mount Hua and face any future Threat he must become much stronger than before K extends his hand and unleashes another attack meanwhile Chong mayang says that he must become incomprehensible to his past self strong enough so that even Chan withstand no chance with that the illusion Fades from the sky as he remembers it was
the martial arts of this man that shattered everything he believed to be right in the world but also showed him that he needed to somehow surpass the limits he Once knew what he didn't realize however was that someone was watching him from behind a tree it was Isel U observing the palal our boy is staring at his sword determin to surpass any limits he once considered the Pinnacle of swordsmanship he need a way to break through every previous boundary he closes his eyes but knows that he is still far from reaching that goal what he
needs isn't to create a new style but to become the pioneer of something Entirely different he opens his eyes muttering that it won't be easy and there she is staring right at him she's crouched down almost playfully greeting him he jumps back in shock demanding to know what this crazy woman is doing here he has no idea how she managed to get so close without him noticing even while deeply focused he should have sensed someone nearby that's when he begins to realize that even standing right in front of him it's as if she's barely There
it makes him wonder who she is and what kind of stealth technique she's using but before he can figure out how to explain himself since he doesn't know what she saw she simply says P he immediately knows she saw everything his plan is to act normal as if nothing strange happened he picks up his sword and she instinctively raises hers she asks if he plans to kill her to keep her quiet he tells her to stop being so dramatic he's not going to do that Realizing he implied he could easily kill her they both fall
silent he quickly realizes he's being far too casual and now he's in a bind he sheaths his sword wishes her good night and starts laughing awkwardly but she calls out for him to wait instead he bolts running desperately she remains there remarking quietly that the PS were beautiful meanwhile our boy runs frantically muttering that she's terrifying him she was the only one who Saw it so everyone else would doubt her if she SP woke up it seems that now that the back lineage disciples have returned they'll have to be much more careful he stops and
suddenly remembers there's something he needs to do before they come back he changes Direction determined to take care of it before returning to mount H the city of Ruin is bustling at one table a cheeky man is eating and drinking ever since the cave liquor ran out he's been coming here Every day since the SE leader gave him this privilege he intends to enjoy it to the fullest what's the point of following all the sex virtuous rules if he can't even enjoy life a little to him that's the problem with The Devout ones he remember
Jamon who would definitely scold him for this but he asks him to relax he's already past 100 years old the only issue is that the liquor here isn't the same as it once was it was much better when he used to sneak out of The sect back then it's strange because he's always wanted to drink without anyone sitting across from him his brothers would be rolling on the floor laughing if they saw him being so sentimental even though everyone revered them as Masters at the end of the day they were just a bunch of old
fools but he's sure they don't have anything as tasty as this wherever they are with that he takes another Sip and slams the table saying he feels feels better to Him Enlightenment makes no sense he already lives in paradise and prefers being here over anywhere else in the world so he apologizes to his brothers saying he won't be joining them just yet he hopes at least they are happy wherever they are just then others approach the bar they open the door enter and sit near Chong mayang they're talking about finally being able to eat good
food our boy notices that they seem to be in their 20s or 30s and have a Cherry blossom emblem on their chests they are probably back lineage disciples he'd be in trouble if he was seen here so if he decides to finish up and leave quickly one of them asks where sister Isel youu is and another replies that she's already gone to mount haah another mentions that it's fine for her to arrive first since everyone knows she's always in a rush they call over the restaurant owner and order a dish for each of them our
boy observes that these Second lineage disciples are bold enough to drink in the middle of hueing it's no wonder the sect was failing in his past life if he saw something like this these guys would be locked up on the mountain for a week the one in the middle seems to be oldest he pours a drink and Praises everyone for their hard work one of them compliments him saying no worked as hard as he did he smiles and thanks them for their kind words strangely Chong mayang can't help but think the Guy is very handsome
basically he had the perfect description of a legendary protagonist the man tells everyone that they all worked as hard as they could and that they should enjoy their food today it's on him our boy is just eating grumbling that these idiots are bringing shame to the sect then they hear one of them ask how much their skills have improved since they train so hard maybe this time they could defeat the southern Edge sect but the man Taps his glass on The table and admits he isn't sure the southern Edge sect is strong enough to be
one of the top 10 sex in the world even though Mount H was also one of the top 10 in the past the distance between them now is vast but that's just reputation reputation and skill don't always align even though they lost to the southern Edge sect last time he believes they aren't as far behind in skill this time he shows his hands explaining that this time they gave it Their all even at the cost of sleep they endured the hardship of isolated training and gave it everything they had such hard work won't disappoint them
one of them then asks if they at least have a fair chance against the southern sect the man raises his cup and says that's not the goal nothing is eternal so as long as they continue to dedicate themselves Mount HOA will eventually become the greatest sect once more but suddenly our boy starts laughing Everyone goes silent and he awkwardly turns away the man stares at him and he tries to play it off joking that a pesky fly keeps buzzing around his ear but seeing the way the other man is looking at him he knows the
ACT isn't working the man sets down his glass and calls for his Junior brother he stands up and says he doesn't believe they've met as he's never seen him around highing even at the risk of being rude he wants to know the boys plan and name our boy is Trembling because he really doesn't want to answer no one speaks if the man in the bandana insists on knowing who this child is he sends something strange the moment they entered the tavern and now he understands why all because of him a boy who doesn't look older
than 15 is sitting here drinking liquor and eating all this expensive food he doesn't know of any Merchant's son in haai Ying who could F wealth like that especially not someone this young our boy replies that He's just a traveler passing through so everyone should simply enjoy the meal today the man with the bandana can seeds as possible but then he grabs a stool moves toward him and says that since fate brought them together they should introduce themselves he places the stool beside him and sits down right in front he introduces himself as bin a
second-year disciple of Mount haah our boy wonders why this guy is suddenly trying to get close to him knowing he Can't even hit him he responds by saying that his name is so insignificant that it isn't worth knowing bin however points out that it's rude not to turn one's face during a conversation hang mayong is tempted to tell him to become a civil official since he seems to enjoy politness so much he then stands up and apologizes saying he has something urgent to take care of with that he begins to leave but not before backin
the junior comments that he hoped they Could have a proper conversation our boy says his parents taught him never to talk to strange men in taverns beIN turns to grab him saying he won't let him Escape but our boy sidest steps and is already gone beIN stands there bewildered not understanding what just happened the boy had dodged his move without even looking the others ask why he let the kid Escape so easily embarrassed he claims that it wouldn't have been virtuous to press a child like That yes that's why he let him go it must
have been a stroke of luck in the mountains our boy mutters that these disciples are going to be a problem for now since his skills are too far apart from the rest of the sect things are manageable he's finished all the liquor but he wants just a bit more the problem now is having an entire lineage of superiors he's supposed to obey in theory he probably should have kept quiet instead of laughing at what they Said but it was ridiculous for them to think they could defeat the southern Edge sect they talk a lot they
don't even seem as strong as Joe Gil he mimics the guy's little hand technique calling an absurd that he thought he could capture him with such a laughable move the third-year disciples were already known to be weak amateurs so expectations weren't high but the second-year disciples are different he wonders how things turned out this way Then looks at the empty jar and admits he shouldn't be wasting time here he sets it down and leaves muttering that it looks like he'll have to work hard back at the SE someone tells Joe gel that the third-year disciples
want them to come to the training ground Joe J replies he'll be there soon wondering why Chong mayang hasn't returned yet in his small room the drunk is peacefully asleep when joil walks in he IM imately smells the liquor and wonders how this Guy drank so much Jo giol starts trying to wake him up telling him to get up he doesn't move so Jo giol shouts for the brat to wake up kyang mayang gets up groggy asking what's going on and Joe Gil says it's the pride he feels in having someone so talented in the
sect with that our boy stretches and claims he must have fallen asleep while meditating Jo jel already knows it's alive but tells him to take a bath and get rid of the smell since the elders Are calling for them suddenly Chang mayang covers his nose and releases smoke from his ear the new smoke trick chob giel notices right away that the liquor smell is gone K mayang stands up and says that liquor is something they shouldn't drink as virtuous members of Mount haa he urges them to go before they get in trouble for being late
outside Chan Lon grumbles about why they have to be there to greet the returning group Jole explains that it's customary To do so when they come back from isolated training but cha mayang scoffs thinking that their so-called isolated training must have been a breeze to him real isolation training was being trapped in a cave for 6 months eating mold in complete darkness all they did was play with wooden swords while nibbling on some grains did they really believe something so trivial was enough to make them Stand Out Joel insists that the seniors seem serious and
are even Talking about defeating the southern Edge sect this year he adds the Chang mayang should watch his tongue especially around brother Bakin who is known to be strict Chang mayong waves him off telling him to take it seriously they approach the gathered group at the sex gate they apologize for being late and someone announces that the gates are opening the seconde group starts to arrive everyone watches commenting on how noticeable the difference is the Crowd applauds as cha mayong watches unimpressed the group enters the sect and our boy spots the Troublemaker again the handsome
one who almost caused him problems it irritates him as he used to be the center of attention back in his day he's confident he'd look even better than this guy if he dressed up since plenty of girls used to chase him Joel teases him asking if he's sure about that and Chong mayang tells him to shut up since he's telling the story suddenly BeIN looks back and seems to notice something he steps out of line and walks for Chan Wayan out of nowhere he reaches out and grabs his robe they stare at each other confused
but beIN Smiles he covers his face and asks if they haven't met before Junior brother our boy thinks already annoyed by this guy maybe it's time to teach him a lesson beian says he could see in Chong mong's eyes that he recognized him but Chong Mayan denies it saying he has no idea what he's talking About bin apologizes saying it's strange because he could sworn they had met before young JN explains that Chong Mayan joined the sect while they were away for training which is why they don't know him Bin remarks that it seems he's
been here a short time but the three of them already seem close as they're senior he feels it's only right to keep an eye on his Juniors he adds that considering how familiar Chong mayang feels maybe it's fate that they Met he asks for his name and our boy says it's Chong mayang bin introduces himself but y JN Cuts in saying they need to stop chatting because the SE leader is waiting ban turns saying they'll see each other soon and telling him to remember his name Junior brother Chang wayang oh boy he's provoking him Yan
Jong asks if they've met before and Chong wayang denies it yon Jong explains that senior bakian is known as Mount who's top Prodigy many believe he has The potential to restore the sex glory for a Time Chan mang himself was called Mount who's Prodigy before gaining his reputation as a troublemaker Chan maang sarcastically says he thought Joe jel was the sex's greatest Prodigy Joel blushes and tells him to keep quiet before someone hears Kang mayang asks why and joil says he could never match someone like bin Kong Mayan jokes that he's very humble and will
surely go far in life with that humility but deep down Shong mayong knows that Bakin is a big fish in a small pond it might seem impressive at first but big fish belongs with other big fish if that doesn't happen it only shows that there's some fatal flaw everyone lines up in front of the sect as bin leads the way eelu approaches and joins the group Shan Mayan watches her praying she doesn't recognize him thankfully no one seems to have mentioned anything Joe jul notices he can't take his eyes off sister Yu he Sympathizes saying
he was also stunned by her beauty at first Kang mayang is confused Joi will tell tells him not to bother sister you only has eyes for brother bin the others cover their ears telling him to stop spreading gossip like that our boy remarks that everyone seems to believe they have the most beautiful person and the most talented man in the entire region if anyone overheard they'd think this place was filled with all the talent he then tells Joe jel that if he used all that Curiosity about other people's relationships to train in swordsmanship he'd already
be the best in Mount H Joel apologizes and our boy says the truth hurts sometimes suddenly Baken greets the sect leader everyone follows suit and the leader expresses his gratitude for their return noting that the isolated training must have been tough on everyone beIN however responds that it wasn't too difficult since they Approached it knowing the sacrifices they'd make the leader then asks if the training bore any fruits they rep that they realized the path of the sword is truly endless nevertheless they can confidently say they've grown much stronger than before the leader congratulates them
and suggests to the finance officer that they hold a festival for the returning group but the finance officer dismisses it as being too extravagant pretending out to be Upset he tells everyone to move along stating everything is ready as he walks off he mutters about how these Rascals have returned to steal his money the leader is puzzled noting that lately he only has good things to say about Chong Mayan he then instructs yam to give the disciples some free time to relax and enjoy themselves he calls for Chang Mayan to visit his office aroy grumbles
asking if he really has to go again beIN turns questioning why this disciple from The third series is speaking so familiarly with the sect leader hian Jong asks if he'd go if there were snacks to to which Chong Mayan Everly agrees the two walk off leaving back silent before leaving beIN calls UNM over and asks about the boy UNM approaches advising him not to worry too much about it Bean is confused but MIM cryptically mentions that it's especially true for someone with his temper before beIN can get a real answer Unim leaves leaving back to
wonder if this is the same Mount haa he knew before his training later a feast of meat is laid out on the table beIN is bewildered wondering how the SE has money for such luxuries one of his companions remarks that it seems like all the buildings have been renovated perhaps the gods of wealth less the sect during your training the third-year disciples even complain about eating meat every night wanting something more Exotic like seafood for a change Bean can't believe how spoiled these kids have become he's never heard such words uttered in Mount Hua this
place used to be so poor that it could compete with the beggar's sect or perhaps the Beggars were even better off financially how did this formerly destitute sex suddenly come into such riches Lam asks if he's not enjoying the food and Bakin replies that it's not that he's just having difficulty understanding the sex current Circumstances Lam acknowledges that it must seem strange from his perspective it's a long story so he'll understand in time for now he only needs to know that golden boost has appeared in Mount HOA suddenly Chang mayang kicks the door open he
strides into the Hall glaring at everyone Bean sits there confused by the scene our boy clearly irritated he walks through the crowd and no one says a word he reaches the table sits down and the seconde students are just watching him While everyone else looks bewildered the father is the one one wondering what is happening he was the youngest of the third-year disciples so why wasn't anyone disciplining him not even the senior brother Anam who usually cares the most about manners was saying anything they were acting as if this was completely normal the only way
this could happen was if this child had influenced all the third-year students perhaps this explain why he was sitting With Jo giel and Yan Jong who were the oldest and most skilled of their group if he controlled these two he essentially controlled all the disciples but the question was how did a child gain so much influence at that moment Yan Jong awkwardly asked what had gotten our boy down he responded that he had been ordered again to visit the honor exchange company he wasn't a carrier pigeon to be sent around all the time Yan Jong
commented that he thought he Enjoyed the trips the boy replied that at least this time he only had to go to huan if he had to go all the way to xen he would definitely make a scene as everyone watched it became clear that he was in some way in charge with the third-year disciples Yen Jong being someone who respects his seniors would never normally act this way while he pondered what to do one of his friends asked if he wasn't hungry the food was delicious yet his plate was empty he Admitted he had been
forgetting to eat get bit and asked if anyone knew where sister Isel U was one of the guys replied that he had no idea she had been with them on the way to lunch he then asked why they wer looking for her how could one of the four members of his group miss this Feast another guy mentioned that it wasn't like they could find her if she didn't want to be found another agreed saying it was impossible to locate her when she chose to hide While boach stayed silent he thought to himself how isil always
made him lose his head he then stood up determined to search for her but just then someone was walking through the hall bake turned around and smiled it was the beautiful Isel walking he called out to her but it was clear she was looking around for someone else back stood there like a fool calling her over but she ignored him and walked straight up to our boy she addressed him and asked if the seat Next to him was taken everyone was shocked wondering why she spoke to him first our boy glanced back and said it
was a Pity but yes it was occupied she looked a bit embarrassed and asked if they could talk outside he declined stating he wasn't interested in talking to her so she could leave the members of the sect were going wild yoel was dumbfounded as no man on Mount H had ever spoken so casually with Isel especially considering she started the Conversation she insisted it would only take a moment but he cut her off saying he wasn't interested even joil became Furious telling the son of a mother to show respect to the lady she pleaded again
saying she just needed a minute but he asked if she was deaf because he had already answered multiple times she persisted saying she had something to tell him but he cut her off once more saying he was busy and asked if he couldn't eat in peace she then stared at Him and sat down beside him saying that if that was the case she would wait until he finished eating he continued complaining saying he wasn't interested and had things to do so she should find someone else she replied that she came specifically to speak with him
while he grumbled the sect members were all standing and staring then someone cleared their throat and everyone turned to look of course it was bake standing up he looked back and asked if his name Was Chong maang our boy replied that it was back then mentioned he had heard the leader had asked him to personally handle some tasks in cha perhaps those tasks had left him a bit tired he then calmly closed his eyes and smiled saying that even if he was exhausted if a senior one to speak with him he should take the time
as it was a matter of respect since he was a junior disciple bake was quite pleased with himself knowing he had spoken eloquently and Managed to highlight the boy's improper Behavior without embarrassing himself he's sure the boy will understand until Chong mayang asks why he should at that moment bake almost loses it wanting to hit this lunatic he mutters to himself that he needs to calm down if he gets angry here he'll end up humiliating himself bake questions if he really wants to know why and the boy says yes bake then explains there are countless
reasons like for example courtesy among Disciples our boy acknowledges that it's indeed discourteous he looks at Isel U and tells her to stand up and start apologizing apparently bake was complaining about her being rude and sitting down even though he told her not to she looks confused asking if he means her and our boy confirms he does clearly waiting for her apology she stands up and apologizes to bake saying she acted without thinking he becomes flustered and says that's not what he meant from The corner our boy remarks That She's forgetting to apologize to everyone
in the room she turns to the rest of the seniors and apologizes saying she will be more considerate in the future unim assures her there's no need to worry as it wasn't an offense meanwhile bake is seething with rage he's on the verge of exploding and desperately needs to calm down to ease the tension Yan Jong congratulates everyone on their hard training saying he hadn't realized how Much they had suffered Joel also compliments them and adds that now that Isel U is here they can finally start the banquet the two continue to cover up the
awkwardness Beck takes a deep breath and asks again if the boy's name is Chong mayang both jool and Yan Jong are shocked knowing they have no way out joil begs our boy to let it go this time all he needed to do was be polite once our boy remarks that bake must be tired from his long journey the two sigh with Relief thinking that was all that needed to be said however Chong Mayan continues saying that b must be so exhausted he's already repeated himself maybe talking so much means he should get some sleep Bak
ignores the comment and says he has another question did they perhaps meet today in haian he demands an honest answer the boy retorts that it seems Bach likes repeating questions and tells him that he's never met him before it appears bake has a problem trusting Others back simply says he understands he didn't want to take things this far but if he doesn't teach this boy a lesson now he'll be humiliated in front of everyone he approaches Unum saying he has something important to report unim asks what it is bake explains that to his knowledge third-year
disciples aren't allowed to leave without authorization from the leaders yet today he saw a third-year disciple in Haan drinking liquor and that disciple was Sitting right there Unum appears angry B goes on saying that despite feeling uncomfortable he needs to report the misconduct happening within the sect but then the Elder replies that it's fine be has taken it back trying to understand what he just heard anim simply repeats that just as he said there's no issue bake stunned begins to question whether he heard wrong unim has always been extremely strict with the rules the Elder
reveals that Chong mayang has been Granted permission by the sect leader to travel outside whenever he wants Beck is even more confused and asks who granted such a privilege to a child unim replies that it was the seier and asks if there's a problem Beck is desperate to confirm if this is true he falls silent hearing the sound of someone chewing naturally it's Chang mayang making making as much noise as possible and commenting on how delicious the chicken is bake is fuming until someone enters The room it's hayang Yong looking around back sees this and
realizes he must do whatever it takes to come out on top he approaches the finance officer saying they can't let this slide he greets hayang who immediately tells him not to worry he's just there to see what's going on hayong tells unjo not to let the boys get carried away with all these festivities back seizes the opportunity telling hayang there's something he needs to bring to his attention hayang Asks what it is be want more says it pains him to speak up but today he saw a third-year disciple from Mount Hua drinking liquor at a
Tavern in Hawaiian haang's face darkens and he asks what this is about liquor he Dems to know if back is certain about what he saw and who the culprit is ma confidently asserts he's absolutely sure and worse the boy is denying it even after being caught black smirks claiming he was forced into this by the boy's Stubbornness he then points back saying it's that boy sitting there his name is Chang mayang hayon's expression immediately shifts bake turns back and insists it's exactly that boy until he hears so what the Elder is asking who even cares
about this completely taking a back Beck replies that as far as he knows it would be a serious offense however the Elder only asks if he makes the rules there to which the boy responds of course not now B starts Getting scolded by the Elder who says there isn't any rule against people drinking in public besides with a stressful life who wouldn't need a drink from time to time there was already a bunch of freeloaders here leeching off money so what if Chang mayang spent his money to have a drink in the city our boy
sits there eating without saying a word the Elder continues saying that some of these seniors don't deserve the title of second-year disciples he's About to give a lesson when back tries to stop him the Elder presses on pointing out they seem to be enjoying a meal brought by the boy yet when he goes out to buy a drink with his own money they come to bother him with that he orders everyone to put down their Chopsticks saying they don't deserve to eat someone covers his mouth it's a disciple who says that hayan is a bit
agitated so they'll quietly step outside for some fresh air be is left standing There unsure of what to do meanwhile someone is suu in c l it's our boy just watching from behind Beck remains puzzled unable to grasp what's happening within the sect later in another part of the sect they find the entire situation bizarre Beck had found his conversation with the sect leader strange but the one with hayan Yong was even worse one of the men asks if back has noticed how all the senior disciples are treating the boy differently even sister Isel U
who Rarely speaks to anyone had been acting oddly practically begging to speak with the third-year disciple bake tells him to calm down they can't make a mountain out of a mole hill the friend apologizes admitting he spoke without thinking but it still felt unfair they had returned after a whole year of hard training only to see all the elders pampering a little kid bake just says they're too old to expect to be cuddled the friend responds that he understands what bake is getting At and back agrees everyone knows what's going on it wasn't just about
the elders playing favorites in a subtle way it seemed like Chong mayang had taken over the sex leadership the mount H they returned to was a world apart from the one they left the mount ho of the past was like a crumbling worn out cup teetering on the edge of Ruin as second year disciples they were supposed to be the only hope beckin himself was meant to be the star of that hope but now Everything had changed over the past year he used to find the signs of DK somewhat poetic now he saw it all
as pathetic while he focused on learning Chong mayang had gained favor with the elders but Mount who still belonged to him he had to be the one to carry all its hope and restore its Glory his friend asks if they should do something about the boy Bach wonders what they could possibly do the friend suggest they need to teach him a lesson somehow Otherwise the entire order of Mount Ho's disciples would follow apart backai saying that for now it's better to keep things between them since everyone knows that would be a mistake first he needs
to figure something out why all the elders are showing so much respect to the boy the friend asks how he plans to do that in the next scene someone approaches and one of them remarks that the demon is coming there's a knock on the door and when opens it's Yan Jong Offering greetings to the brothers Beck greets him with a smile and invites him in a short time later he serves te expressing appreciation for all the work Yan Jong did while they were away Yan Jong replies that it was his duty as a disciple of
the sect back however remarks that it seems not everyone in Mount H follows the rules so closely like a certain boy wandering around Yan Jong asks if he's talking about Chong mayang Bach sets the teapot down and Yan Jong immediately apologizes admitting that he failed as a leader bake asked him to explain what happened while they were away he would decide what to do after hearing it earlier Yan Jong had told our boy that brother bake had summoned him the boy simply told him to go Yan Jon hesitated saying if he went he would have
no choice but to tell everything that had happened happened because the boy told him to do so he was confused the fact that Shang mayang Didn't seem to care about revealing everything made him even more anxious it was his duty to inform the seniors but somehow it felt like he was betraying the boy back in the room he takes a deep breath and says he'll begin you will recount everything from the first day Chong mayong entered the sect sometime later they sit in silence Beck asks if he heard correctly the boy undiscovered a secret treasure
filled with techniques and money as well as the construction Records of hang which saved the sect from bankruptcy Yan Jong confirms that's exactly what happened but continues saying that not only that but the boy also managed to cure a master hang of the Yona company Yen Jon agrees again leaving back stunned big finally says he understands tells y Jong there's nothing more he needs to know thanks him and stands up to leave Left Behind the two were speechless back's friend comments that if what they've heard is true it Means the boy single-handedly resolved all the
problems plaguing Mount haa back admits that now it makes sense why the elders appear to be pampering him so much it was far more than just a young boy with potential in the sect as long as Mount Hua maintained connections with the Yana company they were bound to generate much more wealth Beck had been puzzled as to why the Elder was favoring this boy so heavily however his friend decides to add something remarking that From a different perspective the boy's achievements don't seem so impressive after all Mount HOA is first and foremost a marshal sect
and it doesn't make sense for a marshall sect to Lavish so many favors on a boy just for bringing money big warns him to be more careful with his words if others heard him they think he was criticizing the elders and their brothers the friend lowers his head saying that wasn't his intention black admits he agrees his Friend isn't entirely wrong Mount hula is indeed a marshal sect no amount of money can change the fact that Marshall prowess is what truly matters here besides the competition with the southern Edge sect was fast approaching once the
elders remember this they'll realize there's no time to pamper these boys for now all they need to do is remain fully focused on marshall training in the end the sect will have no choice but to return to its core Values however the friend points out that the third-year disciples will also be participating in the compet ition with the southern Edge be acknowledges this and the friend says that if that's the case their strength alone won't be enough to ensure Victory perhaps they should do something to prevent their junior brothers from being humiliated bake asked him
to elaborate the friend suggests that as seniors they have a responsibility not to let their fellow Disciples fall behind he proposes that the second-year disciples should start helping the third-year students with their training they fall silent Beck comments that his friend really hasn't changed he still cares deeply about everyone in the sect he knows this competition won't be enough to distract the elders if things continue as they are the yber boys will end up taking their place a lesson needs to be taught before that happens he stands up saying That for Chong Wang's sake he
hopes he's truly blessed in the martial arts otherwise the competition will be too much for him oh boy just imagine when he finds out somewhere else our boy is lounging in bed when Yan Jong appears wondering why he always seems so relaxed taking a deep breath Yan Jong mutters that there's no point worrying about him our Moy is smiling telling the bartender to pour another round Jo J asks how it went and Yan Jong says it went exactly As he expected they asked about everything the boy did Joel accuses him of being a snitch and
Yan Jong tells him to show some respect for the senior joil seems unfazed Yan Jong explains there was no point hiding it they would have found out eventually he wants to know how they reacted Yan Jong replies that just as expected they were stunned he glances at Chong mayang wondering why he made such a spectacle when he first met the senior bin had never been harsh with The third-year disciples but now that this had happened he might start to be Jo giel says he's sure they'll all be dragged into this it's a shame but suffering
is about to begin for everyone Yan Jong however points out they already expected this when they heard the seniors were coming back he tells Jo jel to warn everyone to be more cautious in how they interact with the seniors Joe jel agrees to do so but first he has a question he still isn't sure of one Detail if Bakin and Chong mayang were to fight for real who would win Yan Jong considers the match up between the two he tells Jo giol if he has time to ponder such things he should be out warning everyone
Yun Jong is already growing annoing with Jo Gio who has been treating everyone the same way since Chong Mayan's arrival Yun Jong relaxes slightly looking at the boy asleep in his bed that Troublemaker had no idea of the chaos he was stirring peaceful days At Mount H were long gone in the leader's room someone remarks that everything is just as they expected a subtle tension seems to be Brewing between the second and thirdy year disciples the leader acknowledges that he had expected this it was only a matter of time the current generation of bakes and
chongs are very close in age and temperament to the point where the youngest of the the backs yixu and the oldest of the chiong Yan Jong are nearly The same age when the SE began to decline they had to accept trainees of varying Ages which cause more disorder in the ranks as time passed normally a wide age gap between Generations prevents conflict but with the difference now less than 10 years avoiding tension has become impossible perhaps they were too hasty the leader mentions that in the past Disciples of the Chang lineage would have been completely
outmatched by The Backs but This might not be the case with this generation the problem he thought would take a long time to surface his far sooner along with changes in the leadership of the place when Yan Jong and Jo jel alone led the 30-year disciples it was harder for any issues to arise but now that cha Mayan has joined them their influence has grown and they are clearly aiming for something significant hm apologizes claiming it's all due to his own Shortcomings the leader refutes this saying it's certainly not nun's fault it was of an
idea to build the white pedal Hall and they knew problems would arise once they started admitting so many third-year disciples now that they're of similar age and don't know each other well trouble was bound to begin when nunam asks what he proposes to do the leader simply respond that sometimes nature must take its course it may be better to let them resolve things Through their own conflicts it might yield better results than any intervention they could come up with UNM objects reminding him that they're dealing with disciples this could escalate into a violent conflict the
leader calls out to him and advises having more faith in the boys they've been training he doesn't believe beian would let things go that far but un him clarifies if they're talking about beIN the leader laughs asking who else they'd Be discussing it Dawns on nunam that the leader doesn't grasp the true situation he has no idea that Chang mayang is the real issue the leader has seen Chong mayang train but never sparred with or witnessed in fighting to him the boy is just a lucky child bringing money into the sect the leader describes back
as a sensitive boy with a good heart even if he retaliates because of the embarrassment he suffered he won't want to destroy his brothers in time surely He will grow closer so there's no reason to worry UNM agrees outwardly though he knows this won't end well the sun rises and the exhausted disciples are sprawled on the ground begging for help saying they can't move move sha mayang tells them that just as metal becomes stronger through repeated hammering the more they train the more resilient they'll become he orders them to stop Gathering mold on the ground
and get up just then other disciples approach chastising them for Lying down during training they say they came to keep an eye on things and didn't expect to find a bunch of slackers our Moy just watch this as they tell the group to quit slacking off since the competition with the southern Edge is approaching once this training is over they'll have to clean the entire sect without leaving a speck of dust behind that's the price for lying around during practice the traines are all baffled while Jo jel has no idea why these guys Appeared out
of nowhere our boy wonders what these fools are thinking figuring they must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed someone tells him to straighten his back and walk with his knees straight and another comments that if he's going to get water he needs to ask permission first he stops complaining about this constant nitpicking talking with Yan Jong he says he's used to being beaten up every day but this trivial nonsense is too much y JN agrees pointing out that they're enforcing the most obscure rules of the sect just to make life hard
for them the seniors are telling telling them to never let go of their swords even while sleeping or bathing it's constant pestering and nonsensical debates Yan Jong wonders if they should do something about it when yon Jong asks what they could possibly do our boy just looks around clearly Fed Up and asks sha wayang if they should deal with the Seniors who are giving them a hard time Chang mayong dryly asks what they expect him to do about it Yan Jong suggests that maybe he could try making peace Chang May's expression immediately changes Yan Jong
quickly realizes he may have chosen the wrong words and is about to say more but Chong mayang Cuts him off stating that he has a much better solution he says he has a plan to end all their problems Yan Jong intrigued asks what plan he has in mind Jong maang Responds that it's simple he'll just beat everyone up everyone in the quarters hears this and Yan Jong yells for someone to stop him Chang mayong starts starting around while everyone screams that they're doomed if he gets out they try to chase him but Chong mayong moves
like a blur leaving them collapsing on the ground lamenting that he's too fast to catch another disciple appears and suggests surrounding him but ch Mayon Ducks dodging left and right Making his way toward the door two more disciples block the doorway saying he's not getting out they grab his arm and then more Pyon grabbing his legs and other limbs Joel jumps in from above pinning him to the ground Chang mayang shouts for them to let him go but Joel insists they must not release him under any circumstances Jong mayong swears that if he gets free
those troublemakers will never act like it's 100 years ago again he just needs a quick moment to Punch one of them Jo giol tries to calm him warning that if he attacks the seniors he'll be expelled from the sect Yan Jong calls out to him saying he understands how he feels but this really isn't the right time Shang mayang demands to know why Yan Jon explains that the competition with the southern Edge sect is approaching he needs to think carefully if he fights now and leaves any of the seniors too injured to compete it could
have serious Repercussions xang mayang brushes it off saying he'll only hit them hard enough to give them time to recover Yan Jong sze and insists that even so it would shatter the senior confidence they just need to endure a little longer watching the seniors be annoying is better than being humiliated by the southern sect Chang mayong reluctantly agrees but makes it clear he prefer to resolve things his way Yan Jong pleads with him to let it go this time xang mayang after A moment of contemplation agrees everyone breathes a sigh of relief and begins to
let go of him he then ask if all he has to do is wait until the day of the competition and they confirm xang maang sits down and says fine he'll listen for now but he has one question what if the seniors start a fight Yan Jong reassures him that it won't happen and asks him not to provoke them the next morning B asked his friend how things are going the friend says it's Surprising but everyone seems to be behaving he can tell the boy is frustrated but so far he hasn't said a single offensive
word Beck is impressed he expected Chong mang to be the type who thrive on conflict the plan was to provoke him into starting a fight so that as a senior B could teach him a lesson but Chong mayang has been far more patient than anticipated bake asks if they can put more pressure on the Juniors but his friend says they're Already at their limit pushing further might backfire and they'd end up being blamed black starts to see that sha way isn't just a hot-headed kid he asks how the other juniors are doing and the friend
replies that nothing much has changed except they're following A peculiar training routine however he warns that this can't go on much longer the elders will lose patience with all these incidents since the competition is near beet acknowledges this and says That now that things have simmered enough it's time for main course his friend asks what he means Bean reminds him of how obedient the Juniors used to be before they left for isolated training they were nothing but innocent kids he never imagined so much would change in just a year there's an old saying that those
who live Among Wolves learn to howl he doesn't see a reason to punish everyone because of one boy their issues with Chong mayang alone his Friend wants to know what he's proposing Beck explains that they need to clarify Mount H's principles Jong mayong is a valuable brother who needs guidance toward the right path you may be arrogant now but one day he could become a pillar of the sect the challenge is how to steer him correctly ideally he preferred not to use Force but he fears there isn't enough time for a gentle approach sometimes tough
love is the only way to get through his friend Expresses confidence that one day they'll understand his intentions Beck agrees though he knows they'll probably hate him for now as mag Falls Chong mayang sneaks out to train finally the sect is quiet enough for him to practice the places he used to train in have become off limits that Troublesome girl had already appeared twice without him noticing the third time simply couldn't happen he can't believe he has to go to such lengths to avoid being found by a Child not only that but that little pest
is now bothering him with a bunch of oldfashioned rules of course he knows a quick and easy way to deal with this he remembers Yan Jong pleading with him for some reason that annoying guy kept reminding him of brother jamman even though they were nothing alike their expressions were exactly the same he decides to hold off and remain calm until the day of the competition as much as he'd Lov to beat up the back lineage Disciples his desire to crush the southern sex goons is even greater he stops as he finds a good spot to
train drawing his sword while looking around cautiously wary of someone watching him again trading had become difficult and he couldn't even lower his guard anymore all because of that cursed girl who kept appearing out of nowhere when trained with others she just watched but the moment he was alone she suddenly show up asking if they could have a chat if he Could sense her presence he avoid her like the plague but for some strange reason it was impossible to detect her maybe she was a ghost He laugh said himself thinking he's lived for 80 years
and never seen one occasionally he'd meet people with a faint presence due to weak key but even among them she was rare as he gazes at his sword there she is standing behind him he lets out a scream exclaiming that she's appeared again she stares at him calmly while he Complains about nearly having a heart attack she points at herself and reminds him that she is his senior and is the junior he asks so what she tells him to be a bit more respectful but he doesn't care about this scary ghostlike girl he demands to
know what she wants and why she keeps following him she asks what he means by bothering and he reluctantly apologizes all while thinking that brother Jamon must be laughing in the afterlife at the sight of him Apologizing to a girl young enough to be his granddaughter calming himself he wonders what makes her so captivating but the problem is that it's impossible to tell what she's thinking she comments on his sword technique wanting to know about what he did to create the pedals he's confused denies knowing anything about pedal suggesting she must have seen it in
a dream and that he can't help she cuts through his act and demands that he teach her embarrassed The asks why why is she asking him this she insists on learning the technique that can summon cherry blossom Pals he finally understands why she's been following him he thought she'd asked about some technique forbidden by Mount HOA or accuse him of learning a secret martial art he asks if she even recognizes what he used or wait no he doesn't know anything she grows frustrated he tells her to go ahead and report it to everyone she responds
that She you and tell the sect leader Johan Mayan just shrugs saying she can do whatever she wants because no one will believe that a boy who just joined Mount H can summon p with any technique he then reiterates that she's his senior and he's the junior so how would he teach her anything if it were the other way around he'd be learning from her when she falls silent he thinks maybe he succeeded but she replies that she doesn't care she still wants to learn Age has nothing to do with learning he realizes he can't
win this argument so he tells her he doesn't know exactly what she saw but she must have been half asleep and hallucinating from overt training eeli respond that she knows exactly what she saw because she's seen it before cha Mayan is taken a the cherry blossom petle style is the only form that can summon pedal it was always a secret never written in any texts passed down only from person to person Only Mount H's Elders knew it but on that day at the mountain range all the Elders of Mount Hua were killed no one thought
this would also mean the end of that technique so how does she know someone who can perform it he starts to grasp the implications and asks what her connection is to the southern Edge sect she goes silent confused and asks what the southern Edge has to do with anything Chang mayang draws his sword she asks what he means by this but Chong Mayang wonders if she's figing ignorance however her genuinely bewildered expression convinces him otherwise given how naive she seems he's certain she isn't pretending in a way it all makes sense he doubts that the
southern Edge sect could have mastered that technique to the point of summoning pedal such a feat would only be possible for someone who trained within Mount Hua and possessed its unique Kai he then asked Isel youu what she means by saying she's Seen it before before he demands to know where and when she witnessed it ISU hesitates before replying that she saw it a long time ago then she immediately asks him to teach her again our boy realizes they're back to square one and repeats that he has nothing to teach her but noticing her grip
tightening around her sword he understands she won't give up so easily for a moment he thinks she might finally leave him alone but then she draws her sword for real and warns Him that if that's the case he leaves her no choice Chang mayang is bewildered and asks why she's un sheathing her sword she tosses the sheath aside and declares that she understands he has no intention of teaching her Jang mayang wants to know if she's serious he repeats that he won't teach her so why draw a sword she explains that he's right she's his
senior and as the junior he needs to learn a lesson Jang mayang now understands why everyone else avoids This girl something is clearly off with her she tells him to prepare himself though he doesn't know what for before he can finish his thought she nearly skewers him with a Thrust she locks eyes with him throws her sword upward and follows with a whirlwind strike Jang Maya narrowly Dodges realizing she's no over these attacks aren't meant to intimidate they're meant to kill he asks why his senior is trying and kill her Junior with a sword she
answers that It's because she knows he's stronger than her she Stomps and moves in for another slash gripping the hilt tightly as Chan Wayan confirms his suspicions her attacks are precise Swift and shrouded in an almost illusory Mirage she hides the true intent behind her strikes with deadly ease once again he barely avoids a hit she's far stronger than unman any disciple of her class since his return she's had the closest fighting style to the true Mount haa one Point she shouts that she's found an opening and nearly grazes his face giving him an involuntary
haircut he steps back seeing his reflection in her blade and asks if she's genuinely trying to kill him she catching her breath claims she knew he'd Dodge sha Mayan warns her not to be so confident she lunges and he blocks another attack now that he's sure she has no connection to the southern Edge sect he can't harm her meaning he must resolve this without Inflicting Serious injury she stops again and merely Cuts in once more Chang mayang tells her to stop with the murderous attacks she exhausts it repl Iz that as a senior he cuts
her offs saying that as a senior she should stop trying to kill her Junior but something catches his attention her eyes are unfocused he realizes she's been Intoxicated by her blade entering a trans-like state common for martial artists seeking Enlightenment stopping Her now might ruin her chance to gain this rare Insight she attacks again while he Muses that a less skilled martial artist would be fleeing for their life instead of capitalizing on this moment though speed is increased her attacks are riddled with openings she needed to adjust her angles she lunges again and he parries
her blade it seems she n misses something mid- movement she lands and Spins like a top Cham Mayan observes that every attack She makes helps her learn until this moment he believed Jo was Mount H's most talented but now he sees there's no contest she charges again and he admits she's incredibly fast but she still needs to raise her sword arm more he Dodges once more and tells her that she'll never cut someone's throat like that she attacks again too low this time another attack comes in too high each strike lands in the wrong place
but then he begins to see her adjusting as they Clash someone watches from above it's backin he looks exhausted X May notes that although Isel U is continuously improving these movements are temporary judging by her State she's entering a deeper trance beim takes a deep breath and from a top the mountain yells demanding to know what's going on H May looks up confused and wonders where this guy came from without saying another word beun draws his sword beun lunges for Chon wayon calling him a brat for a Moment Chong mayang is startled but then he
regains his composure and leaps toward him delivering a kick his kick clashes with bein's sword but it's clear that Chong mang's skill and experience surpass that of his opponent's blade beIN is confused while Chong mayang remains unfazed knocking backin to the ground with a powerful strike as Chong mayong lands and the dust settles he fuming at The Audacity Of Bean to use sword Aura against him but then he Remembers something and looks back she is still there he understands how rare and valuable this moment of subconscious focus is for a martial artist if Isel U
Were to wake up prematurely it would ruin her chance to attain this in enlightment he checks again relieved to see that she still appears to be in a trance she seems Serene perhaps too Serene but at least this wasn't wasted if she had woken up because of their Clash it would have been a regret for Life bin Rises and demands to know what sha mayang thinks he's doing doesn't he realize how important this subconscious state is for a martial artist sha Mayan is taken a back thinking it's Rich coming from the guy who attacked first
beIN goes on claiming he didn't expect much from cha Mayon but didn't think he'd stoop so low to try to wake her up cha Mayan exasperated explained that he wasn't trying to wake her he was helping he then questions why bakan used sword Aura fully aware of the situation what if she'd been injured Bean doubles down saying she wouldn't have been in danger if Chan Mayan hadn't defended himself Chan Mayan asks if he was supposed to just die without a fight this back lineage really is a bunch of hard-headed fools he thinks normally there's one
Reckless person in a group but this whole group seemed backward beIN demands to know what sha mayong is talking about and insists he never intended to kill Him but Chang mayang counters that Bin's sword had Aura and was clearly meant to kill doesn't get more dangerous than that beun starts to deny it but knows it's true he attacked with full force and killing intent so why is this Brad Still Standing unscathed staring at him beckin states he won't bother asking why he's there but he needs to lower his sword and leave immediately otherwise he'll have
to show him the wrath of a martial artist Jan Mayan asks if he's Sure about that he thinks this is precisely what he wants to say to this guy glancing to the side he regrets that Isel youu won't benefit from this rare opportunity thanks to this newsance interrupting but perhaps this to is part of her fate his goal is to create as many Masters as possible in Mount huah but her chance had already passed with that settled he can still deal with the one who ruin it Shang mayang asks if beIN really wants to do
this beun warns Him not to insult him further Shong mayong nonant tells him to calm down reminding him that it won't look good if word gets out that he fought a junior Bakin retorts that he couldn't care less about that right now Chang mayang must be hoping the elders will shield him but that won't happen he assures Chang mayang that no one here can protect him Chang mayang find finds it bold for him to say such a thing but proposes a better solution Bakin curious and Suspicious asks what trick he's planning XA mayang explains it's
not a trick he wants to make it pack neither of them will disclose anything that happens here even if he's beaten he won't tell his soul but he expects ban to make the same vow beIN perplexed assumes the kid is bluffing to escape the fight joha mayang tells him to be quiet it's not about bluffing He suggests they abandon their ranks and status in the sect and fight fairly whatever happens there would be No hard feelings and they'd both be better for it Jam mayang vows not to speak of what transpires and expects bin to
do the same beIN amused agrees acknowledging the boy's courage if that's what he wants he'll honor the terms and Promises not to tell a soul XA mayang asks if he's giving his word beIN Grins and assures him he is pointing his sword he adds that now there will be no consequences this fight is outside the bounds of their sect roles through this Battle he plans to settle his Grudge with chong mayang chong mayong smirks and asks what this talk of training is about he tells beIN he's mistaken if he thinks this is just a practice
session stopping the ground he demands to know when he ever said it was training sha mayong stands his ground making it clear that the only thing that's going to happen here is Bakin getting beaten Bakin visibly confused and frustrated can't comprehend how this junior only 6 Months into the sect can be so confident he scoffs telling Chong mayang that he clearly can't be saved but Chong mayang fires back saying it's actually Bakin who's Beyond saving only a fool would start a fight with him like this en rag beIN decides it's time to end things he
activates his sword Aura and swings sending a cutting wind across the ground Kong mayang is unimpressed noting how amateurish the attack is Bakin charges gripping his blade tightly but Chong Mayan notices he's using a sloppy version of the Southern Edge sex techniques ironic given that while the southern Edge copied Mount HOA beien is now copying their style it's pitiful beIN shouts that he'll teach Chong mayang a lesson he'll never forget but Chan Mayan simply Ducks out of the way calmly asking what kind of lesson that's supposed to be he delivers a punch that lands squarely
on bein's face sending him flying and crashing into the Mountain side blood trickling down his face beun struggles to his feet shaking and Furious Chong mayong unbothered tells him to get up already beun wants to ask how this happened but Chong mayong Cuts him off saying it's obvious bein's amateurish modifications to a style that doesn't suit him leave huge openings be argues that no one has ever pointed out flaws in his technique before Jang mayang responds that's what happens when you're a big fish in a Small pond bakan seaths but tries to stand only to
stumble another Observer Praises bakan for managing to stand once more Bakin still incredulous demands to know what's wrong with his style joa Mayan explains that while he may be slightly above his Juniors now continuing like this will see him surpassed soon enough bakan scoffs at the idea of taking advice from a novice Chong mang sigh is recognizing that bakan is making the same mistakes he's Seen countless times in the past he tells beIN to be grateful he's a disciple of Mount HOA otherwise he' have been beaten to a pulp already as a fellow disciple it's
his duty to guide bin even if it means a painful process but he reassures Bakin that the sword stays sheath this will be done with fists beIN is confused but Chang mayang continues explaining that many people misunderstand Mount H's techniques as seeking the beauty of cherry blossoms in Truth that's not the goal at all realizing Bakin won't grasp this now Chong mayang decides to teach him through experience he begins with a flurry of punches each aimed precisely announcing where he'll strike before landing each blow Bakin tries to defend but he's no match Jong mong's kits
land on his legs face chest arms and even the other leg leaving beIN collapsing to the ground as Sha mayang continues his beage beckin is trembling and barely conscious Sha mayang pauses briefly before resuming now smiling as he announces his next Target this one's for the head he says delivering a precise strike followed by several more until Bon loses Consciousness time passes and backin slowly regains awareness still lying in the crater left by their battle as he opens his eyes Chang mayang is already already there telling him he took his time waking up Bakin flinches
and tries to speak but pain surges through his Head xan Mayan grins telling him not to be so scared beIN remains silent fully aware now of the crushing defeat he just suffered an absolute humiliating loss with nothing he could do to stop it calming himself beIN asks how it's possible how did Shang mayang become so strong Shong Mayan is surprised by how quickly beIN accepted reality he leans in and casually explains that he isn't actually all that strong it's just that bin is incredibly weak Bakin demands to Know how that could be true insisting Chong
mayang stop insulting him beIN despite his pain takes a moment to assert that he is Bakin The Strongest Disciple recognized by the Elders of Mount H Jang mayang acknowledges that beIN has potential but clarifies that potential doesn't make him strong now at this moment he's just a frog trapped in a well bin confused asks what he means by that John mayang explains that being stuck at the bottom of the well means Bin can't see how vast the world truly is he's satisfied with himself because he doesn't understand how weak he actually is beIN insulted coughs
and sputters insisting that he's not weak Chong mayong calmly points out that mount H is in Ruins a fact vakin acknowledges that's why he's worked tirelessly to restore the sex former glory but Chang mayang dismisses this saying true hard work requires sacrifice giving up what you want for what you Truly need if Bakin still clings to Petty grudges from the past he hasn't worked hard enough all he really wants is to rule over a small sect his only real fight was likely with the southern Edge sect but beyond that stronger forces exist it's time for
the little frog to stop believing he's a prodigy the harsh words leave bakan stunned and speechless he quietly asks to Chong mayang is saying there are stronger people in other sex Chong mayang with a Mix of amusement and confidence dismisses that idea it's obvious there are stronger Fighters everywhere he clarifies that beIN lost not because Chang mayang is unbeatable but because beIN is weak forget about contending with places like the shaan temple the wuden clan or the nangun clan he wouldn't even be able to handle the southern Edge sect again vaction processes This Bitter truth
he's aware of Mount H's status and the limitations Placed on him because he isn't from one of the strongest sex he plays the best game he can with the cards he's been dealt but cha mayang smacking him on the head with the flat of his sword tells him that's the problem he's not making the most of his cards hard work alone isn't enough to become a true Master if a person spent their entire life hitting a straw dummy maybe after five generations they learn something beckin Falls silent then asks if Chang mayang Knows the correct
path to take Chang mayang responds that he knows a better path than what beIN is on now tentatively beIN asks if Chong mayang would help him grow stronger Chong mayang Smiles saying it's possible beun grits his teeth but shows respect humbly requesting Chong mong's guidance he swears he'll do whatever Chong mayong asks if it leads him to Mastery but before he can finish Chong mayang Cuts him off saying he's not interested Beckin is dumbfounded and demands to know why what was the point of all this lecturing and advice if you won't help Johan Mayan casually
explains that he sees no reason to teach bin it's too much of a hassle they stare at each other until Chong mayang Rises stating that bin misunderstood something their business isn't finished it's funny how people assume everything is resolved after a bit of lecturing this wasn't enough of the punishment so far Bean has Only paid the price for harassing the third-year disciples he hasn't get paid for bothering Chong mayang personally when Chong mayang asks if Bakin knows what that means Bakin reluctantly says he understands but doesn't think it's necessary Shong mayang disagrees pointing out that
from the look on bein's face he still has a lot to learn there's plenty of time to teach him why he's weak why his swordsmanship is flawed and most importantly why he Should never mess with Chong Mayan again with that the beating continues after some time beIN is stretched out on the ground thoroughly defeated Chang mayang feeling a sense of Peace looks over at him Bakin barely conscious is in a pitiful State xang mayang remarks that the poor guy is a crybaby even though he's been beaten to a pulp he'll be back on his feet
soon enough xang mayong feeling slightly satisfied after the beating thinks to himself that maybe This approach was the easiest all along just then Isel U appears in front of him startling him enough to make him yell at her to stop sneaking around she replies that she wasn't sneaking she announced herself when he was beating beIN he looks at her incredulously and asks if she was just watching the whole time she confirms that she started watching a while ago they exchange glances and she asks if he plans to kill her to ensure her silence Chong mayang
scoffs saying Even he wouldn't go that far she notices him staring her hair and demands to know why Johan mayong replies that he's calculating the best spot to hit her so she'll forget everything she FS confusion saying she doesn't know what he's talking about she saw nothing Chong mayong amuse acknowledges her quick thinking she then shifts gears saying that now that she's forgotten everything it's time for her to learn his sword techniques Chang mayang sze realizing They're back to this again but after what happened with beian he knows he can't ignore her he asks why
she's so intent on learning she hesitates before admitting she can't share the reason but insists that she must learn this style joh Mayon realizes this isn't just about her finding the peoples beautiful when he presses her she says it's her right as a mount Hua disciple eventually she would learn it anyway but then she admits that mount Hua no longer has this Technique Chan mayong feels a moment of surprise she knows the truth this confirms she recognizes the cherry blossom blade style he admits she's correct no one in Mount hul knows it anymore but he
tells her that one day when she's ready she interrupts demanding to know what ready means he stands demonstrating a series of intricate movements in the air she recognizes it as the ma and used technique the style she's dedicated her Life to mastering that what Chong mayang performs is different more refined she asks if the maiden's sword style and he confirms it is standing in front of her he asks if she understands she confesses she doesn't but glimpses what he's trying to teach she realizes she won't grasp it until she improves her Basics even more Jan
wayang satisfied with her determination agrees to help but makes her promise to keep everything a secret she squeers and he Pats her head calling Her a good girl infuriated she reminds him that she's the senior not a little girl Johan Mayan dismisses her anger praising her like a child before she can lash out he asked her for one last favor to take beIN back to the sect he leaves and she stays behind reflecting on the cherry blossom technique and The Vow she made to her father to restore it her father had told her that there
was no place like Mount HOA determined she resolves to learn from Tron Mayan no Matter the cost back at the SE Shang mayang is greeted by his friends who are curious why everyone is awake joil explains that there's chaos because the seconde disciples are looking for backin Chang mayang feing confusion wonders why they think he had anything to do with it Yan Jong ass sure and they don't suspect him but then Chong Mayan casually admits that he did it the others shocked ask why he's pretending to be falsely accused Yan Jong questions if he really
Spent time with backin and Chong mayong confirms it they press him hoping he didn't do what they're thinking Chong mayong asks what they're thinking Yan Jong insists that even if Chong mayang can be Reckless he couldn't possibly have punched his senior right or even hit him in the face Chong mayong asks what the difference is Joe giel notes that hitting the face would definitely hurt bein's Pride more mayang retorts that he's not a child Yan Jong relieved Hopes for a moment that things aren't so bad then Chang mayang reveals that he didn't just hit beckin
once he beat him to a pulp Yan Jong momentarily fooled by his earlier words finally comprehends the truth his face falling and disbelief y Jong curses him calling him a complete idiot he asked if he is joking because it cannot be possible that he actually hit the senior he was about to say something else but Chong Mayan just kicks him telling him to get off asking If he thinks he is an idiot of course he made sure this wouldn't cause a problems he needed to remember who the boy was y Jong crying thinks that it
is precisely because he knows who the boy is that he is afraid he always thought the young man had some limits but now that he knows he hit the senior it's clear the boy has no moral boundaries job juel then asks what bin will say or rather if he can even speak our young man says that beIN asked to be trained by him to Become stronger young Jong immediately wants to know how that is even possible his friend replies that if they think about it it isn't impossible for something like this to happen since they
themselves went through something similar however Yan Jong doesn't want to believe it saying that the guy is a senior but joil points out that technically they are also seniors to Chong mayang Everyone Falls silent then he asks if Chong mayang agreed to train The young man our boy says no he just beat him up instead after all he wasn't fully satisfied yet so he kept hitting him until he passed out he then tells them not to worry that the guy would sleep a bit and see them in the morning with that he leaves without responding
to anything further Yan Jang keeps asking himself if Chong mayong really did that Jo juil says there is one thing he has learned about Chong Mayan he talks a lot of nonsense but he never Tells a single lie in that moment the poor man loses his Spirit thanking Jo jel for the reminder it was now truly time for the back lineage to go through hell he was beginning to feel afraid for the future of Mount HOA but morning came and a new dream appeared the two stood in front of the training field wondering where everyone
was normally the back disciples would be arriving now to pester everyone that's when he remembers our young man saying that he guaranteed They wouldn't cause any more trouble although his methods were far from ideal maybe he really had resolved the situation he never imagines solving a problem with the seniors by be people up Jo G will even comments that today feels strangely quiet perhaps it meant Jang mayang really took care of Bin Yan Jong states that as he said the boy doesn't lie this is probably why things have changed so suddenly however also showed that
Chang mayang was stronger than the Senior he says that's obvious and Jo Gil remarks that now he's curious about how he will fare against the southern Edge maybe Shang mayong really can stand against them since it seems he not only defeated beckin but it was a one-sided fight Yan Jong Ponders and asks what difference it would make if chong mayang won joil replies that at least it changes things a bit it would signify the birth of a master within the sect something to celebrate however yam Jong Responds that one master alone is not enough to
change this place perhaps for a while Mount hu could reach Great Heights but the moment Chang mayang disappears the place would fall apart again to truly revive Mount HOA they need to stop depending on the boy and become strong on their own that is the only way for the sect to achieve its former glory and for no one to humiliate the disciples anymore CH jel becomes thoughtful and says he agrees with what Yun Jong is saying this is when Yun Jong says it is inevitable to be curious about how Chang mang's fight against the southern
Edge will go at that moment they would find out whether he would become the hero who would transform this place or just a petty Tyrant suck on Mount Hua then they hear someone shouting to leave him alone it's our young man saying there's nothing he can teach of course that's when she says she wants to learn the maiden technique the Protagonist tells her ask the instructor however she replies that it's a technique specialized for women so obviously he would know it our boy keeps running saying that he isn't a woman either so she should stay
away while the two are at it Jo giel asks since when she talks this much his friend responds that it's better to ignore it and just get started with her morning training meanwhile in the mountains bake and his friend are watching Isel U chasing after A young man his friend asks if he's really going to let that kid do whatever he wants he tells back that it seems like he hasn't learned anything after all they went through it should really punish him Bea asks what punishment he's talking about how would they even do that his
friend is confused and he tells him to drop it of course Bach doesn't want to tell anyone that he was beaten up it was unbelievable that this kid beat him up like that without leaving Any marks he really was a d bastard his friend keeps insisting wanting to know why he suddenly ordered them to stop bothering the third-year disciples it made no sense to him and back didn't know how to explain it either the only logic is that he doesn't want to get beaten up by the kid again he then mentions that the competition with
the blue edge is coming soon and you realize they have more important priorities they can discipline the Juniors anytime but The competition with the South only happens once every 2 years ensuring m who his honor is much more important than dealing with internal issues that's why he decided to focus all of his efforts on what truly matters his friend agrees and bake says the real enemy is the blue edge not the Juniors he needed to remember why they entered that isolated training in the first place his friend admits he had been seeing things the wrong
way but bake thinks to himself That he was the one who saw things wrong still it was good enough that his friend accepted the excuse he then tells him to leave the Juniors alone for now and put 100% into their daily training his friend agrees and runs off back remains pensive he knows that after this competition disciplining the third years will be the least of their problems because what's going to happen this year will be the biggest surprise of all he already knows that even the people of Mount hu will be shocked but he bets
that the people of the blue edge will be even more surprised for now though he has to focus on his priorities the appearance of Chong Mayan has thrown him off a bit but nothing changes he has been preparing for this confrontation for 2 years besides he has no time to waste considering who will appear at that event in this competition he vows to prove his worth once and for all someone is making tea and Men that the Southern disciples will arrive today the leader asks if all the preparations are complete and he responds that they
are Lam assures him there won't be any issues welcoming these people the leader is excited saying that this time they won't be embarrassed by their meaver supplies and rundown facilities he continues saying that the more he thinks about it the more impressed he is by Chong Mayan's contributions not only did he solve their financial problems but he Also restored the reputation of this place anim sips his tea and the leader asks what he thinks of its taste onm replies that the fragrance is indeed richer than ever ha on Jong then explains that cherry blossom pedal
grow stronger as they age he learned this after Decades of experience Mount hoah is no different as the years pass he simply tried to endure even though they always declared he wanted to restore this place's Glory all he could do was Ensure they survived for another month but now after countless years of perseverance he finally sees a light at the end of the tunnel he finally realized that patience is wiser than any strategy or plan one could have Lam reflects that no one stops progressing in life sometimes he thought the leader had long past his
prime but he kept kept growing wiser with age as a true follower of The Virtuous path the leader never stopped acquiring knowledge he Truly deserved his position within the sect MIM then says he is sure Mount HOA will restore the glory it once had to which the leader responds that nothing would make him happier however he could never take credit for such a thing as it is all the disciples work unen questions how the sect leader wouldn't receive any credit to which hay and Jong replies that he is a man who recognizes his weaknesses if
a sec hadn't fallen into such a state he never would have become Its leader if his brothers hadn't left mount ha he would still be reading scriptures to this day manim says that their departure from Mount hul proves they weren't worthy of leadership He Who Remain was the rightful leader of Mount haa hayan Jong simply observes and smiles he then asks how the seconde disciples are doing the instructor says they have been training a lot and now seem to be resting their bodies and Minds however he has to admit is a bit Anxious the leader
asks if he doubts that disciples will be able to fight on equal footing with the southern Edge one name replies that he wants to believe in the boys but the leader surely knows the leader takes his Sip and asks what he thinks about the third-year disciples they would also be participating in the competition so how are their preparations on him states that yes they have been training hard to the point it could be called excessive or actually Beyond excessive the training was borderline Madness however he notes that they are still novices with little experience hayan
Jon then asks what he would do if a mountain blocked his path lunam reflects and the leader says that if there was no way around the only option would be to climb it the instructor pauses and expresses his fear that they might try to climb and fall to this Haan responds that even the experience of failure has its value it Would help and climb other mountains and peaks in the future the principle of the competition was to show friendship between the mount HCT and the southern Edge Victory or defeat did not matter the truly Victorious
sect would be the one that learned the most from The Experience UNM agrees with the leader then hayan Jong mentions that The Travelers must be arriving soon so they should take care of them ANM notes that the representative from Yunis company Said he would help with resources however he hoped the Southern Group wouldn't be offended by this sponsorship the leader assures him once again that there is no need to worry as things will happen regardless of their wishes they have leave up to fate and begin preparations for competition the leader is then left alone in
the room he reflects on having said that Victory or defeat does not matter how could he call himself a virtuous follower while Uttering such a boldfaced lie the only difference this time is that they managed to obtain the seven P records that sha mayang found but that alone would not be enough to restore Mount hul to its former glory what he always dreamed of was this place rediscovering the charod blossom technique however that belonged only to the predecessors of Mount H this is why he silently asks the elders to watch over them from above the
scene shifts to Kuan Province a man Looks up and gazes at the mountain his name is suan Jong and he asked his friend if he's sure Mount H was once in the top 10 to him these people seem to run down for a place that was supposedly in the top 10 however a friend smiles and says this entire city was built because Mount huo was once great in the past they had so much power of the city formed around people wanting to be part of the sect this friend is Jun Ram a disciple of the
second one of the the Suct Sian Jong comments that it's interesting but it's clear to him that those days are long gone it seems more worthwhile to fight against Mount haa and practice The Sword in the suct it would certainly bring more benefits the long-haired one says the elders must have their reasons for maintaining this tradition so he advises against speaking that way the man agrees but then glances back he sees isong bake and remarks that at least this time they are here to Settle the score for what happened the two exchange glances meanwhile Su
and Jong notices how silent isong back is after all that chaos he cause then he walks away he mentions that he never thought he'd have to come here to fight due to that embarrassment jumon just responds for everyone to calm down and keep climbing isong bake looks up he's back at Mount huo once again the last time he climbed this mountain his heart was light but now as he looks up all he Sees is the shadow of that person at this moment he knows they are likely walking into the Tiger's Den as they climb someone
comments on the mountains who came up with a crazy idea to build a sect at the top of this place it's suen Jong complaining someone else mentions that abandoning the World Behind and becoming one with nature is The Virtuous path jumang adds that it's also a logical decision since it makes it hard for anyone to leave the sect they focus On learning scriptures and teachings his friend retorts that as far as he knows Mount hoah is a marshall sect not a toist one it makes sense for people like udang but not for Mount haa His
companion for Hiser agrees another person comments that the worst part is having to climb this mountain just to eat Old food and sleep on the ground the person next to him agrees he doesn't mind the food so much but he would at least like a comfortable place to sleep He bets his life that even even the bigger sect has better places to sleep he then asked Jun rang if there is any point in continuing this here they should just abolish this tradition already Jun Rong tells him to calm down he understands the frustration however they
have to be aware of the elders animosity toward Mount haa the man says he knows about the elders but he still doesn't get it why are they so fixated on this broken down place his friend Responds that maybe they still have some kind of hidden potential the other laughs asking what kind of potential that could be if they had any chance at all they would have already started restoring their Glory while they were strong once that was 100 years ago and what matters is the present other students agree that mount HOA will likely stay in
this state for at least another 100 years they have no strength no money and don't even offer good Training mixing with such a failed sect carries the risk of being dragged down with it however someone simply says not to underestimate Mount Hua turning to see who spoke it was isong back he says that if they keep up this arrogance they might end up humiliated here Everyone Falls silent one of them laughs and asks if he's traumatized by what happened but he doesn't mean to worry because they are not there to feed their ego they are
there to settle things they came to Avenge the shame he endured isong insists saying he is merely asking them not to be careless but a friend continues scoffing saying it's just Mount haa Y and scows and tells them to do as they please however the cost of carelessness will be paid by those who doubt someone then says they should heed the boy's words at that moment one of the Southern Elders appears everyone immediately straightens up even Jun Rion assumes a proper stance and the Elder Tells them to relax he then asks if they have all
forgotten what happened at the honor exchange company the Elder's name is s samama Jun rang bows his head and says they have not forgotten the old man continues stating that they were completely humiliated by a failed sect this would be the last time Mount H humiliated them since the southern sect would no longer associate with this place the leader of the Southern Edge intended to sever any ties they had with Mount HOA through this competition he doesn't mean to spell it out but if any of them underestimates Mount Hua and suffers an embarrassing defeat they
won't find any Mercy at the southern Edge a good General leaves no enemy alive on the battlefield just as a lion gives us all even when hunting a rabbit the point of this competition was not merely to defeat Mount Hua but to crush any Spirit they had left and they would all do well to remember that they all Respond with a resounding yes to the Elder he then tells them to proceed as that gracious place is waiting for them the group continues their climb up the seemingly endless Mountain until they finally reach the gate when
they stop Sean comments that their gate looks much more refined this year which is strange jumong aware of the rumors about Mount HOA associating with a wealthy Patron finds it strange considering how recent it was how did they managed to resolve Their financial problems so quickly to him it seemed impossible someone in the background remarks that they must have spent a few coins to spruce up the gate for appearances it is the elder who comments that they likely begged for some help from someone he sees no reason to worry as fixing the gate doesn't change
the flawed Foundation of their sect one could say that having such a grand gate for a failing sect is downright embarrassing then the gate Begins to open high and sing steps out pauses for a moment and then speaks he says they are honored to receive visitors from so far away introducing himself as high on an elder of Mount haah he mentions they have met before The Elder stares at him and asks why the sect leader didn't come to greet them in person hien sang replies that the leader is waiting for them inside the seven group
clearly disapproves and remarks on the rudess of sending a subordinate to Greet travelers from afar hening thinks in himself that these people's insolence knows no bounds a mere Elder demanding the presence of the leader shows how determined they are he takes a moment to collect himself and invites them to follow him they have prepared a banquet for the southern Edge disciples high and sing Chuckles at the word banquet and remarks that apparently the competition is nothing but a party to relax for them the mount Hua Elder laughs assuring them Isn't like that with that the
Elder from the Southern Group responds curtly and demands to be led directly to the sect leader as they walk through it's clear to him that mount Hua hasn't received nearly as much funding as assumed it's evident they focused on appearances as the only truly impressive things here are the gate and their uniforms they must be neglecting their fundamentals however upon stepping into the training grounds he notices something the trading Field is no longer just dirt he looks around and sees that the buildings within have been better preserved than before it becomes apparent that it wasn't
just the gate that had been rebuilt say asks what the problem is with him just standing there to which Sam responds that he didn't realize they had fixed up the sect so much since his last visit he hadn't expected their patronage to go so far after all he sure Mount huo wouldn't sto to banditry he Implied that they must be stealing to rebuild the sect and of course s doesn't appreciate that sang warns s to watch his words stating that they will not tolerate such talk here but then someone interjects saying that that the southern
Elder talks a lot of nonsense and slowly he tells him to shut up it was of course our young man standing there casually with his hands in his pockets the rest of the group continues their training while he silently watches the two the Southern Man is confused and asks what he just said to him our young man FS surprise asking if they are speaking to him Sama immediately demands that he repeat what he just said our young man is about to speak when joil walks by him our protagonist then asks if Jo Gio is already
slacking off with such like jogging just because of a bit of training he kicks him in the shin telling him to keep running Jo J falls to the ground complaining that he hadn't Even said anything so why was he being punished turning back to the Elder our young man says he was merely speaking to those training apparently his words were overheard which was quite embarrassing s knows all too well that this Brad is lying at this moment jum rang steps in addressing the Elder he advises him to calm down saying there's nothing to be gained
from arguing with a child he then turns to our young man and asks who he is the boy points to himself and says That it wouldn't matter even if he told him but he hints that the Elder wouldn't expects such impudence jumang Chuckles and asks if he might recognize the name so could he kindly share it our young man finds interest and agrees saying that his name is Chong Mayan the Elder stares at him cleaning his ear now he knows that this is the very disciple who humiliated one of their own he hadn't expected the
brat to be this young to think a child and had caused them to Lose their sponsorship from the Hana company it was unbelievable he comments that it's certainly a memorable name however it seems Chong mayang lacks proper manners while the Elder is speaking our young man blows on his finger an apology Oles asking him to repeat that a bit closer because he didn't catch it jumang stands there unable to comprehend the situation xang mayang asks if he is hearing problems at such a young age he tells him to come Closer and repeat himself he cups
his ear and asks if he isn't listening the southern visitors are already fuming before even officially entering the sect they cannot fathom where this Brat's arrogance comes from they know he once coughed up blood after taking a hit from isone back so his Marshal prowess isn't all that if that's the case how does he dare speak to them like this the Elder asks if cha mayong is a third-year disciple our young man responds asking What relevance that has jumang smiles and states that in that case he is technically a senior here it would be more
appropriate for Chang mayang to approach him instead this would be expected from someone with even a shred of courtesy Chang mayang takes a moment to consider and pretends to agree he Squints his eyes as if to assess the situation then remarks that it makes sense perhaps he's right therefore it would be great if he could share that Advice with the Elder beside him he believes the Elder demanding the presence of Mount Ho's leader was a far greater discourtesy he asks if Jon agrees now the Elder is in an awkward position he tried to scold the
boy but instead Elder Sama ended up humiliated the Elder clenches his fist realizing this brat is leading the conversation somewhere he can't win it's clear Chang Mayan is doing this on purpose jumon is losing his patience at this point the Elder intervenes telling him to calm down the Southern Man is confused and the Elder remarks that our young man has quite a sharp tongue however since he spoke out to defend the sect leader he would let the offense slide without punishment Chang mayang casually thank thanks him as if indifferent the Elder continues noting that his
offense was worse than his toward the leader K mayang asks why and the Elder explains it is due to power something is only Offensive if someone points it out if no one speaks it disappears into the air and the right to call out an offense that comes from Power since he a mere disciple without power had the audacity to offend him it was no simple matter Jang mayang responds by suggesting the Elder learn how to converse properly before lecturing the Elder laughs saying that youth is full of arrogance but one day that same arrogance would
become a knife at his throat he tells him to Remember those words with that he begins to leave and tells the others to continue they agree with that the Southern Group finally starts entering our young man remains standing there watching until he spots isong among the crowd isong glances over notices him and greets him with that he gives a small smile and lifts his head once the group passes he relaxes it was already infuriating enough to let this bunch of technique Bandits enter Mount Hua and They even had the audacity to consult his leader the
plan was to keep things at a friendly level however it seems this is the path they wish to take from the ground Joel asks what happened to him and what he was thinking he was picking a fight with an elder from the southern Edge our young man kicks him and tells him to shut up poor joil suffers once more turning to the group he asks if everyone saw the nonsense that was just said he questions whether They are going to let it slide and they respond that of course not but what could they do our
young man then tells them to listen up he points to the people and tells them to look at those bastards he warns that if they lose to that bunch of weaklings every single one of them will be killed by his own hands it can tolerate them wandering around the city and even getting beaten by Beggars but no one is to lose to the southern sect anyone who makes an Witness such a thing will pay dearly the group protests that they aren't ready but Chong mayang Cuts them off asking if they really think they're not ready
if that's the case then they better be prepared to die afterward he announces that he wants to see who among them dares to lose because it will be the last thing they ever do he asks if everyone is listening while above seohan is watching closely he cannot comprehend the boy's audacity jimang asks if the Boy is bothering him he observes a bit longer and says in truth he's more scared than impressed how can that boy be so foolish jumang tells him to let it go sometimes the weakest carry the most arrogance only someone who doesn't
understand his place in the world can act that way he warns not to let it go to his head they will have many chances to put that insolent brat in his place once he's defeated he wants to see if he still has the G to speak that way Jun Ron laughs at his own words admitting that he sounds a bit vulgar for a member of a virtuous sect Sean agrees but remarks that they were the ones who started this his friend agrees adding that yes the boy began insulting the Elder and his words carry more
weight but for martial artists matters are settled with swords no matter what they say it w change anything he smiles noting that this year's competition just got a lot more interesting all thanks to This Chan Mayan back with the Elder in the room he senses something strange Mount who's leaders seemed far too calm compared to 2 years ago could it be due to New Found wealth looking around he notices everyone is calm but he's certain none of them can defeat the southern Edge it's absurd for them to have such baseless confidence frustrated he slams his
cup down saying it's making him angry hayen Jang asks if he didn't like the tea he replies that the Fragrance is pleasant but he has to admit he isn't a fan of cherry blossom pedal the SE leader remains silent and asks if there's a particular reason for his dislike s explains that a forest exudes a variety of scents from the Earth to the trees to droplets on leaves but cherry blossoms overpower any other scent around them it's such a strong smell that it makes it impossible to detect anything else nearby however the world needs balance
and Harmony which is Why he prefers the suppleness of green tea over the overpowering cherry blossom fragrance the room Falls silent everyone wondering why he's talking about such a thing was he implying that when Mount H was strong it destructed the balance of the region Sama States they aren't here to discuss tea and preferences and it's time to address the important matter the southern Edge wishes for this to be a final competition they no longer have any desire to continue this outdated Tradition even the sect leader grows visibly angry he asks what the reason for
this is so our responds that it's simple Mount hola isn't even worth boosting their ego anymore training with Mount HOA offers no benefits to the southern Edge's growth he explains that the gap between them has grown too wide and the financial Elder would complain sang steps in and stares him down once again hayan Jon maintains his composure he states that this competition is not a Mere training exercise since its Inception its purpose has been to Foster friendship between Mount Hua and the southern Edge stammer retorts that it's just a pretense there has never been true
friendship between these sexs in fact it would be more accurate to say they have been sworn enemies just look at how everyone here is staring at him did he say anything that wasn't rooted in truth the relationship between Mount haa and the zongan sect is like a Shattered vase any effort to restore it would be pointless because the cracks cannot be undone the leader reflects on this he hadn't expected the southern Edge to want to end the competition this was their way of announcing to the world the downfall of Mount haa which would be a
huge humiliation then someone starts clapping turning around it's of course Elder Sama he tells jum Ron that he couldn't have said it better immediately Jun rang jumps up and everyone stands he Quickly apologizes saying he would never have spoken so informally he had known the Elder was arriving Salon assures him it's fine as that's precisely what he wanted to hear all he desires is for the sex disciples to carry such determination he adds that the only thing he would emphasize is that Victory isn't the sole objective this year they must ensure that mount H never
dares to mention Jan's name again for clarity the southern Edge sect and Jong Nim sect are The same place jumang looks puzzled and asks the Elder to elaborate the Elder explains that in the competition the intention is to test strength without harming others as this is a fundamental rule however during this time he senses that the opponents have far more Spirit than usual naturally there's a limit to the patience they can exercise jumon catches on immediately he remarks that if a mount HOA disciples become too spirited they might end up getting hurt The Elder agrees
knowing that while the competition is important it isn't more important than the safet gave of their disciples that is why their priority should be to end the competition as quickly as possible even if it means breaking one or two limbs per student Jang says he understands and will lead the brothers to a Swift and decisive victory in the competition Sama then mentions he has one more request for him he wants to ensure that The Reckless Child doesn't leave the competition without learning his lesson jumel immediately asks if he is referring to Chong mayang the Elder
confirms he wants to know how that brat who hasn't even reached 20 dares to disrespect him he cannot allow such a child to tarnish the reputation of Mount 's so-called good friends thus they need to teach the boy a lesson jumon calls upon a young man named yuram the boy approaches and greets him jumang introduces him as Urangan explaining that this boy is a third-year prodigy and undoubtedly their best bet to deal with Chong Mayan uing assures Elder Sun s that you need not worry you will ensure everything goes as planned in the competition tomorrow
Sun samon expresses his confidence in him while Sun Sam Smiles proclaiming that from today onwards a southern Edge will enter its golden era he hopes to see Mount Hua buried in the mud night falls and the door opens revealing Yan Jong Stepping outside Jo giel stands in the middle of the field staring up at the sky he takes a deep breath and his friend asks what he's doing as yumjong approaches he admits he can't sleep they note that of course Chong mayang is sleeping soundly young Jong remarks that the boy must have nerves of Steel
he sprawled out on the bed like a starfish making him both worried and envious how can he sleep with the competition tomorrow in fact technically the Competition is already today since it's past midnight someone in the background says he doesn't have nerves of Steel but they have nerves of noodles turning around it's their young man wondering what the two are doing out there joil apologizes admitting he's too anxious our young man questions what this anxiety is about Joel knows he's in for it he then admits he understands that if they lose they'll die our young
man declares that anxiety is for those who Haven't prepared for the future young JN a bit embarrassed says it's not that he didn't prepare he's just afraid he won't perform well the protagonist calls out to him and asks if he really thinks things would be different if he had 10 more days to train Yan Jong reflects imagining 10 days of being beaten morning noon and night Kong maang tells him that anxiety doesn't afflict those who have given their all in preparation for what's to come what they are feeling Isn't anxiety it's a lack of confidence
even if they're weak they must accept themselves and all their weaknesses what matters is giving their all in preparation and then facing what lies ahead he asks if they have given their all until now Yan Jong stays silent for a moment and then replies that yes he sure they have kyang mayang says that's enough for him no matter what others say he knows they've done everything they can so they should stop wasting time and Get some sleep after all having a good night's rest before a competition is also a valuable skill y joh agrees but
asks where Tron mayang is going he replies that he's going to train the boys remind him that the competition is day to which our young man responds that his training is hundreds of times more important than fighting those fakes with that he leaves Joe G and press notes that he's actually going to train at this hour Joan G remarks that their Worries seem pointless now seeing Chong mayang act the same on the day of the competition makes him feel foolish for doubting themselves the boy is right they need to regain their strength to give it
their all tomorrow it's time for them to head to bed y Jong agrees and heads off while Yan Jong stares at the gate he thinks about how strange that boy is how for the few words of someone when so young calm the anxiety in his heart regardless of the outcome of the Competition the third-year disciples would continue to grow stronger because of him job juel then asks if he isn't coming to which Yan Jang replies that he is meanwhile in the forest our young man emerges from the bushes obviously he's on edge worried that the
crazy girl might be around again if that girl whatever her name is shows up again he'll tie her to a tree and run or actually he can't do that since she's a senior he also can't just go around Beating everyone up this realization irritates him and he wonders why he has to out here in the middle of the night then suddenly he senses a presence it seems like that crazy girl again but upon closer inspection he senses a different Aura two people actually it's a strange secretive meeting in the middle of the Mountain at night
he smells a hint of conspiracy he jumps toward the source to find out what's going on landing on a branch he looks Down and sees beIN but he's puzzled about what beIN is doing out so late that he notices who the other person is jumon jumon greets buck with it's good to see you here little brother apparently it's a Family Matter Beck responds saying that jumang seems quite calm his brother asks if there's any reason he shouldn't be he slowly mentions that he is their dear dong it turns out the boy has two names our
young man Chuckles and they glance back However they don't see him he's well hidden bake turns around and tells jum Ron not to call him by that name his name is bin but jumang insists that it's the name their parents gave him and not something he can simply discard no matter what he chooses to call himself now he will always be dong Ron Jinn our young man continues laughing at the poor guy's name slowly realizing these two are brothers one is named jumon the other donr he wonders what kind of Parents would give such names
to their children but keeps shouting about his name his brother replies that he can call himself whatever he likes dongon it is he then remarks that bake seems to be doing well at Mount haah even how he looks bake tells him to get to the point to which his brother replies that he simply missed him he wanted to know what his little brother who abandoned their family and become stronger than him have been up to lately back states that Jumang already knows as you must remember what happened 2 years ago his brother replies that he
does remember beating him up but never gets old to mistreat his little brother Beck thinks to himself that this guy is a snake he may smile and act pleasant but he still has a rotten heart he's always been cruel to anyone weaker than him Beck can see through his facade because he was the first victim jumon then offers a proposal if Bach meals and begs he'll Ask the Elders of his sect to accept him back bake tells him to shut up declaring himself a disciple of Mount haa his goal is to help this place surpass
the Janam sect thus the offer is nothing more than an insult after all he knows that the offer is worthless given what kind of person his brother is jum rang remarks that sibling bonds are strange even after so much time apart bake knows him so well but bake made the wrong choice if he truly wanted to be stronger he Should have joined the southern Edge there he might have stood a chance but since he chose Mount haah how could such a failing sect help him win laughing like a madman jumon calls him a fake be
stays silent for a moment he admits that when he first joined mount hoah it was out of hatred for his brother he wanted to help the sect his brother despised to defeat him J calls it a foolish idea especially given the type of person bake is dealing with Beck interrupts Acknowledging that when he made that choice he was a child but now he can honestly say he loves Mount HOA he takes pride in his life as Bakin a second-year disciple of this sect at that moment cha mayang recalls when bin humbly asked for help to
become stronger now our young man understands why he wanted this help so badly he had to admit it was impressive that beIN held such pride in this failing sect jumon however laughs and asks if his little brother has Completely lost his mind but bin interrupts stating that he will not allow him to insult the sect jumong might find the idea ridiculous but it was through this place that bin learned that happiness isn't about training in a renowned sect or eating good food nor about flaunting one's privileges in front of others at Mount HOA he found
happiness for the contributions he made this place allowed him to dream of rebuilding the sect and turning it into The greatest in the realm Mount hoah had given him purpose in life and had shown him love despite all its flaws Jang mocks the word love and says he has never Hur anything so mave it seems beian still has much to learn about the world he then declares that it is already too late for beIN during his foolish Choice he will spend the rest of his life as a third rate martial artist watching from afar as
his brother becomes the leader of the suct Bakin Tries to protest but jumon Cuts him off again saying that the path beian chose is irrelevant but at least he will find some solace in seeing his little brother fail especially since that failure will come soon enough he adds that it was a fitting combination a failing sect with a foolish disciple Bean warns him to watch what he says about Mount H or he'll rip his mouth apart his brother laughs and releases his Aura the energy spreads through the forest and B Embraces himself jumang tells him
he won't do anything because he doesn't stand a chance by the end of today neither he nor the sect will be remembered in the Marshall world he then retracts his Aura assuring beckin that he'll make sure of it personally he Le saying he looks forward to today beIN is left alone Breathing heavily he begins to question whether they really have any chance but then he steals himself reminding himself not to let his resolve Waver he is back Shin of Mount haa and he intend tends to restore its Glory one day as he turns around someone
remarks that they are impressed looking up he sees our young man casually perched Kong mayong jumps down and beIN demands to know what he's doing there claiming he didn't sense his presence our young man calls him dongon beIN immediately realizes that Chong mayong heard everything Chong mayong confirms saying that he was deeply moved by dong gr's Words he never imagined ban loved this place so much Bakin pleads with him not to mention this to anyone else as others wouldn't appreciate his connection to Jon K mayang Taps his chest assuring him that jumang is one of
the best people to keep a secret beIN is confused realizing that means Chong mayang intends to tell everyone K mayang tells him to forget it and comments on him being Jon's brother beit explains that they are childhood Brothers but they were never close and Have different mothers he was about to explain more but our young man cuts him off saying he's heard enough and isn't in the mood for a sad story he then decides to take a guess was backin the illegitimate or younger son while the older brother was extremely talented and all that that
after much hardship he ended up at Mount HOA beit asks him to stop reducing his life to a cliche story he lowers his head admitting that while it may sound common his journey wasn't Easy Johan mayang tells him he did well leaving bakian momentarily confused our young man explains that bakian made the right choice coming to mount haa no matter his Origins the moment he set foot on this mountain he became a disciple of this place and Chong mang personally promises to prove that leaving jeanan and joining Mount H was the right choice beIN is
taken back this wasn't what he expected to hear from a child yet somehow the words bring him a Sense of Peace bakun then remarks about Chong Mayan's claim to prove it asking when that would be our young man points upward and says that today is the day the two fall silent before he declares it's time to deal with those joh and Scoundrels he plans to let loose and cause some chaos the Sun finally Rises the Disciples of Mount who stand before the elders everyone is tense the leader comments that they seem nervous this morning they
needn't be so anxious Because all the hopes for from this day is that they grow through the competition no matter what happens he remains proud of the Disciples of this place he hopes they will always remember that our young man thinks that these words aren't much of a motivational speech what the leader said didn't raise the morale of those entering the competition nor did it Inspire those cheering for the sex honor yet somehow the words ease the burden in the Disciples Hearts ha on Jong then Smiles he tells them he will be watching closely and
wishes them good luck meanwhile in the arena the southern Edge group begins to enter followed shortly by sang leading the mount H disciples everyone walks to their seat eats and stops face to face jumang steps forward and the leaders take their seats a hush Falls over the arena then at the door someone tries to stop people from entering saying outside visitors are Prohibited from attending this competition but suddenly in a crowd of Elders from the mount haa region begins entering the elders are confused and Yim asks what this means from afar the leader recognizes them
by their clothes their way of walking in some familiar faces they are prominent figures from the shangi region including top merchants and people from local trading companies but why have they come to watch the competition the SEC leader Looks towards s he recalls that UNM mentioned the southern Edge's goal was to show Shany that mount HOA is no long a great sect the leader begins to suspect this is s's plan unim continues questioning why they insist on entering without permission H and JN questions the blatant Audacity Of This intrusion then someone apologizes to the leader
it's Sama who asks if he truly believes he orchestrated all this the leader is confused because s seems genuinely Surprised indicating he's telling the truth what they can't comprehend is how this happened unim explains that he tried to stop everyone but the person who brought them just then someone steps forward and announces that it was him hayan Jong is stunned it was Master hang who brought them he greets the leader saying it's good to see him again hang explains that given the nature of the event he believed this place deserved an audience Selma agrees stating
it wasn't A bad idea after all the final competition between the two sex deserves to be celebrated by alos shangi Haan Jang relaxes meanwhile Wong looks back and spots our young man he recalls the moment his son delivered a letter from cha mayang in which Shong Mayan expressed how thrilled he would be if hang could bring influential people from across the region hang reflects on how he followed through with the plan but he has no idea what's about to happen Everyone takes their seats food is served and our young man remarks that everything is ready
Haan Jong slowly walks to the center of the Arena takes a deep breath and announces to all the Disciples of Mount haah and jeanan that the annual competition between the two sex is about to begin the first competitors are called it's backing against his brother right off the bat Mount who disciples cheer for Bakin urging him not to lose bin steps forward Already sweating Haan Jong remains calm the audience murmurs noting that this duel promises to be exceptional the best disciples from each sect face off right at the start it said that the rest of
the competition may very well be decided by this first match the spectators note that Jun rang's room were to be a prodigy carving A New Path for Janan but they also acknowledge that bin shares similarities as if they both embody Legendary Heroes the elders are anxious Yet one remarks that he doubts Mount HOA has anyone on jang's level in the arena Jun rang states that it seems his brother has decided not to hide bake points his sword and declares that he never intended to run from a fight against johnman his brother responds that those are
lofty words but he wants to see if back's skills match them the leader watches intently as bake begins to activate his Aura a tiger materializes and bake proclaims himself A disciple of the great Mount HCT he declares that he will also be the future leader of this place his brother easily Dodges the first strike beex blade trembles but jumon observes him calmly back uses the azzure tiger technique unleashing a flurry of cuts that raises a cloud of dust the elders is trouble to see anything Joe jel remarks that he's heard of this technique it's a
series of Rapid attacks as if the claws of a tiger are relentlessly striking its prey he's Seen bake use it before but never with such intensity Beck is actually pushing a prodigy jumang back Beck lands on the ground assesses his position and launches another strike the leader watches an a wondering when Beck reached such a high level but samon remains unfaced jumang glances at Chong mayang and comments that it seems back is winning our young man curtly tells him to be quiet but jumon continues insisting that it looks like bake might Win K mayang dismisses
the notion saying he doubts it he points out that back hasn't landed a single blow how could he be winning if he hasn't even hit his opponent as the dust clears jumang stands calmly the mount Hua disciples begin to question how this is possible back charges again unleashing another strike but jumon Dodges effortlessly no matter how he attacks jumon remains at ease back is baffled he charges again only for his strike to be evaded looking For an opening he tries a Blindside approach gripping his sword with both hands but again jumang Slips Away even when
he attacks from behind his brother simply Ducks back cannot understand why men of his attacks connect he's giving it his all yet he can't even touch him it feels as if his brother is an insurmountable Mountain far beyond his reach but he's worked tirelessly for this day all his hours of training must mean something once more he unleashes a Barage of strikes his attacks was by but jumang Dodges with ease back advances again but his brother remains calm evading every attack the boy gives it his all placing his other hand on his sword's hilt for
another strike but this time jumon draws his sword as well encounters the two pass each other and as expected bake is struck and falls to his knees his brother approaches slowly and stops beside him while Bach struggles jumang laughs asking if he had His fil of fun as he turns to speak further jumang extends his sword and Strikes back's shoulder the pain is intense and bake collapses to the ground with his sword pressing down junon crushes es his shoulder declaring loudly that it's absurd for him to believe such pathetic Mount HOA techniques could ever Grant
him Victory he promises to shatter all of back's Illusions and expose the complete foolishness and weakness in everything he admires Beck is sent Flying his body rolling like discarded refuse jumon thought the gap between them had closed bu struggles to grasp what's left of his sword trying to rise but clearly in pain as jumon lunges again bake narrowly evades the first strike only for his brother to spin around like a top and strike him in each limb back comprehend why he can't even see the movements he stabilizes himself refusing to fall again he also draw
attention and leaps for another attack But jumang evades effortlessly the Counterattack lands and blood sprays as Bach is thrown to the ground once more but like rock Le the boy's Spirit doesn't falter he rises again his brother approaches acknowledging back's fighting Spirit noting how he can't even stand properly but still tries but that's all he has it's why he will never touch him why he will never bridge the gap between Mount Hua and the southern Edge their martial arts are unmatched And mount H's Legacy is nothing but a distant memory from hundreds of years ago
if Bach ever wishes to catch up he have to abandon Mount HOA there's no future here just stories of the past and a failed sect but bake rises again trembling and out of breath he declares that you will never leave Mount haa there're shaking he asserts that he remains a disciple here no matter what jumang laughs admitting that at least he has courage but then he strikes bake Again telling him not to expect even a hint of Mercy it was a Pity but he needed to make the gap between them clear back finally Falls and
the Mount HOA disciples rush to help him they lift him asking if he's okay but it's clear he's completely out someone shouts demanding to know the meaning of this the mount haa disciples are outraged asking why jumang did this if it was supposed to be a training match jumang responds that this is why he held back Gracefully it would be ridiculous to believe that back would still be breathing if he had taken the fight seriously he tried to go easy on him he simply didn't expect the boy to be so weak as to collapse from
such a simple attack however he apologizes admitting he has difficulty controlling his abilities Anam is in formed that they are taking Bach for Recovery the poor boy is carried out of the Arena jumang then announces that he wants to Experience this so-called superiority of Janan for himself he smiles and calls for Cohan telling him it's his turn Covan steps into the arena prepared and grinning it's clear to everyone that this boy is also in for a beating the merchants murmur about what a splendid match it was Bakin resisted more than they expected no one imagined
jumang had already reached such a level having a disciple like him made it evident that janen was the greatest sect in the Shangi region another merch mer stroking his beard agrees saying Mount HOA isn't bad but it's obvious that jongan is the better investment Wong knows that Merchants only care about one thing they're talking about Investments and money while a boy has just been beaten senseless though Wong is also a merchant he sometimes despises those in his profession still he tries to understand what Chong Wang is planning calling everyone from the province was a risky
Gamble so he must have an ingenious plan but at the pace things are going it will be impossible for Mount haa to restore its reputation in fact if Chong Mayan's plan fails is could spell the end of Mount haa Wang can only pray he hasn't gambled everything on this boy in vain Yan Jong asks if back is okay and Chang mayang replies that he certainly isn't Yan Jong asks if back is really that her Chong mayang confirms that from what he saw Yes bake is in a bad State his Silence makes Yan Jong worried he
tells Chong mayang that he knows they don't get along well but it seems like he doesn't care about the senior he asks if Chong mayang feels No Remorse Chang mayang tells him to Cal down Yan Jong presses the issue Chang mayang repeats that he needs to calm down he asks what Yan Jong expected did he really think bake had a chance from the beginning cha Mayo knew there was no Hope of Victory in this competition all Yan Jong had Hoped for was that they wouldn't embarrass themselves they had worked extremely hard for this day becoming
one of the top 10 sex might be a distant dream Kong mayong tells him that if hard work was the only thing that mattered all the old men would be great Masters what matters is not how hard you work but how smartly you work he then tells Yun Jong to watch closely all the seconde disciples will lose their matches Yan Jong shocked ask why Chang Mayan mentions that perhaps one has a small chance but unfortunately she doesn't seem to be competing today oh who would have guessed that Isel U is actually better than beckin yes
women at the top this is true feminism Yan Jong can't believe that none of them even have a chance at a draw he asks if they're really going to lose like this Chang mayang responds that he never said they would lose he was only talking about the second-year disciples he then Tells Jan Jong to start warming up because they need to catch everyone's attention meanwhile Beck's friend takes his turn in the arena and follows Falls like a discarded rag sovan presses his foot on his chest asking if he's already giving up he thought the guy
could take a few more hits he then looks at Chong mayong and taunts him saying he barks a lot but doesn't bite Jang mayang stays calm or maybe not so calm he just wants to see how long seohan smile lasts Another second-year disciple takes a beating and collapses his sword stops at Sang's feet who remarks that they suffered nine consecutive defeats saying turns to the leader suggesting they put an end to this otherwise the 30-year disciples will be slaughtered like goats at the slaughterous hen Jong however states that it's no longer in his hands how
could he stop the competition now the arena is full of merchants and prominent figures from all over shangi How could he tell all these people that mount Hua has no chance of defeating the southern Edge it would be the same as announcing the sex downfall this is a line he cannot cross it's not about saing face or his position but if he wants to preserve even a sliver of Hope for Mount haah it must continue he says that the die has been cast and that's all there is to it sang tries to protest but another
disciple Falls and the last one collapses jumang smiles and turns to The Elder Salon is absolutely delighted 10 consecutive victories it couldn't have been more perfect the jeang and sect had dreamed of this for countless generations to think he would be the one chosen to witness this great achievement the merchants nearby muttered that this competition was becoming one-sided it was evident that johnan was far superior to mount haa another Merchant agreed noting that while Mount Hua had once been a great sect those days were long Past the Elder was ecstatic public opinion was clearly on
his side now only one step remained crushing everying sing Le third-year disciple so that mount H could never recover he relaxed gazing up at the sky remarking on how wonderful the day was unjam however it was anything but calm the day was far too beautiful for what was unfolding before him he raised his head and announced the next match declaring that it was time for the third-year disciples to enter The fry unim commented that their time had come 10 consecutive defeats he knew he should feel confident after months of training but the harsh reality before
him crushed any confidence he had he heard a sound to his side and turned startled to see Chong mayang seething with rage he tried to calm him only for cha Mayan to yell asking what he was talking about on Jim called for the firste disciples to prepare but he quickly realized that the third-year Disciples were struggling to hold Chong Mayan back everyone was trying to restrain him insisting that he'd be the last to fight but with an explosive burst he broke free leaping into the middle of the Arena the merchants were bewildered kyang mayang landed
in the center and Rose to his feet anun couldn't comprehend what the boy was thinking Kong maong simply shouted for the first opponent to step forward he didn't care who it was but demanded they Come forth he vowed to take down every piece of trash from that place Selma demanded to know what this deluded boy thought he was saying jumang laughed commenting that the little piece of trash had finally shown himself he called for yuang telling him that while he hadn't expected the first match to be against him it changed nothing he instructed him to
put the boy in his place yuang stepped into the arena he called out Chong Mayan vowing to shut His filthy mouth he barely began introducing himself as yuang when Chong mayang closed the distance in an instant Landing a punch s was left speechless and the others were stunned still Airborne Chong mayang declared he didn't care about Ying's name he should start praying as yuang spun in the air the Elder could hardly comprehend what had happened in a blink it seemed as if Chong mayang had disappeared How could a boy move faster than the eyes of
a Southern Edge Elder but the body hitting the ground didn't lie Chang mayam grabbed his sword and moved toward him telling him to get up since he hadn't hit him hard enough to knock him out a southern Edge disciples protested claiming he attacked while urang was still talking Chang mayang retorted that he didn't care about etiquette did they to drink liquor and chat with every enemy on the battlefield trembling Yuen managed to rise grasping his sword Kang Mayang urged him to hurry up saying his patience was wearing thin bang visibly shaken asked if he was
all right to which he replied that he could fight all day even if he ended up bleeding everywhere sea May knew at this rate Yuan might die not that he had any sympathy for jnan but it wouldn't look good if the first opponent died from a punch he suggested to gluman that it might be best to send yurian to the Medics Anam was about to respond when Yurian cut off his shirt plugged his nose and glare angrily Kang Mayan couldn't help but admire his fighting Spirit yurian spat insults calling him a coward and demanding if
he had no shame if threatened to carve him up and feed him to the dogs Chang mayang didn't understand but yuang continued saying he would only forgive him if he knelt and begged Chong mayang changed his mind about sending him to the Medics if that's how it was they could continue he Admitted he felt a bit bad earlier but yuan's words helped him overcome that he told him become an him promising to be impressed if he even touched a single hair on his head yurian continued cursing until jumang shouted for him to calm down never
underestimate the enemy he warned surprised yuang nodded and began to focus acknowledging that he had almost fallen for a trap jumang found it absurd to think that this was any kind of trap uang pointed his sword telling Chong mayang to prepare for defeat Chang mayong coolly replied that he'd already done so yuang Le vowing to end the filthy brat the protagonist disappeared and reappeared behind him yuang sensed something but was too late he took a strike to the stomach as he crumpled to the ground Trang mayang remarked on the real problem before yuang could fully
fall Chong mayang struck him again he added another hit lamenting that kids these days had no respect the poor guy Was practically floating from the beating he taken then with a kick to the face he was sent flying while he suffered jumon appeared bewildered by the strikes urian crashed face first to the ground trembling in pain K Mayan approached pointing out that yuang couldn't even touch him for a second as yuang removed the claw from his nose the bleeding resumed Chang mayang turned to jumang and told him to wipe off that shocked expression then he
call me left The arena and took a seat while the elders tried to make sense of what they just witnessed had they been dreaming Chang mayang had defeated a disciple of the zman's sect not only quickly but in an utterly dominant manner he turned to ask the sect leader who stood with his mouth at gape even say shared the same expression sang admitted he had no idea the boy was this strong the leader shook his head saying it didn't make sense he shouldn't have stood a chance the Finance Elder asked why everyone seems so shocked
weren't they the elders who had been watching over the boy their stunned Expressions made it seem as if they'd bet money against him sang slapped his own face asking how long the boy had been in the sect andram replied that it had been about 6 months sang couldn't believe it with such little time he had defeated a disciple from the southern edge with a crushing Victory he wondered what kind of training the boy Had undergone before joining anjim admitted he had no idea about such Marshal prowess clearly the child was a master hiding his talent
hayan Jang remarked that he always believed the boy to be a blessing for Mount HOA but this was on another level it would have been unfair to expect more from him given all he'd already done but the Marshall Talent he displayed was beyond anything he had seen he was truly a prodigy hay and Jong noted that at least it was a Victory for Mount HOA it would alleviate some of the humiliation they were suffering in front of the crowd but he knew that this was more than just avoiding embarrassment Mount H might have discovered a
talent capable of leading the sect into the next Century the merchants were at a loss for words one remarked that mount HOA had won that they hadn't expected such a one-sided match the disciple from Janan wasn't weak but he stood no chance another Commented that they'd never seen such Talent from Mount haa hang had expected something like this even though he hadn't witnessed Chong M Allen's Marshall prowess himself he heard about it and invested accordingly this kind of Master didn't step into battle prepared to lose it seemed as if Chong mayong had foreseen all of
this and set events into motion the merchants noted that the jaman group was likely caught off guard by the beating they received but Wang Knew that Chong mayang now had everyone's attention not that it mattered Wong was already on the boy's side one of the elders remarked that if his single child won while the other nine lost it only showed one talented individual though it was an impressive Victory doubts would remain now Chong mayang would have to show his true worth his victory would either highlight the talent of a single anomaly or Herold Mount who's
Resurgence xang mayang sat Calmly smiling saying that was satisfying his friends wonder how he remained so composed after such a fight someone praised his efforts suggesting he should have stalked even harder with this Revenge they felt rejuvenated claiming he was the best and that his performance was amazing Yan Jang stood back watching as everyone praised the young man hang mayang dismissed it telling everyone to take their seats he wanted to watch the next match he called For the senior while everyone stared he glanced at Young JN and nodded young Jong nodded back realizing it was
his turn Jang mayong had done his part and more it was now up to him to keep the momentum going K mayong asked what Yan Jong was doing and told him to hurry up and fight Yan Jong wanted to complain about how Chang mayong always had the last word but knew there was no point he asked if Chang mayong had any advice or words of encouragement Kang mayang Simply asked if it would make a difference he told him to go and hit his as many people as he could y Jong was surprised by the advice
grabbed his sword and walked toward the arena he could feel the weight of everyone's expectations in the eyes of every person there a glinter of Hope had begun to form but if he lost Chong mayang called out his name Yan Jong turned and asked what it was Chang mayong simply said that if he lost he'd be dead Yan Jong Momentarily confused broke into a smile he gripped his sword tightly feeling that the winds had shifted in Mount Ho's favor he stepped into the arena introducing himself as yon jong a third-year disciple he stood there ready
to challenge the sect not for a simple training match jumang saw the rising energy among the mount HOA disciples he called for gangin who responded vowing and it all jumang told him not just to end it but to crush that arrogant Bunch The boy agreed and leaped into the arena jumon couldn't believe they lost the chance for a perfect Victory all because of that cursed Chong Mayan he admitted the boy was better than expected and caught him off guard but the rest of Mount hoel wouldn't have such good fortune John Mayan might have won that
match but the sected self would never win the war that was something they wouldn't allow ganun pointed his sword at Yan Jong it happened 2 years ago not So long really he Fallen then and gotten up again the sword had been pressed against his neck Yan Jong knew today's match was about history repeating itself if not for Chang Lon he had suffered crushing defeats against johnman every time it had led him to doubt his training the despair of realizing his hard work wasn't producing results they had all stood defeated before an impossible wall but one
person refused to give up he walked around the sect and Saw beIN training relentlessly then suddenly a new boy appeared and changed everyone's lives it was because of Chong mayong that life over the past 6 months had been hell but at least it had driven them to train harder than ever before Yan Jong wondered if all that suffering had lessened the gap between them and the southern Edge it was hard to put into words but no matter what he wasn't going to give up without giving it his all the opponent before him said there Was
no me for introductions he would show how lightly he had gone on him in their last fight y John began to respond but his opponent cut him off telling him to be silent he leaped forward declaring that their swords would do the talking Yan Jong quickly recognized that he was using the same technique as before a straight predictable offensive right in front of him but even so he had never managed to block a single strike in the past this time would be different he Placed another hand on his sword and their blades clashed his opponent
seemed surprised and immediately retreated noting that Yan Jong hadn't been Idol these past years but it was irrelevant all his efforts would be in vain Yan Jong narrowly dodged the next attack shocked at the speed and strength of his opponent how was he so strong while moving so quickly it was like fighting someone twice as strong as before perhaps this was the true prowess of the Southern Edge the boy pressed forward launching another attack young Jong continued to defend noting that despite everything he could see each of his opponents moves he parried another strike and
his opponent was knocked back confusion set in Not only was Yan Jong blocking everything but he was pushing him back Yan Jong stared at his own hands wondering what was happening his opponent also confused asked if he was holding back to spare him embarrassment It wasn't like that the opponent yelled accusing gun Jong of arrogance for dodging a few Lucky Strikes he lunged forward Furious Yan Jong dodged again and Bam kicked him in the stomach his opponent crashed to the ground but quickly Rose visibly shaken even Yan Jong didn't fully understand what he was doing
or rather what Shong mayang had done to them the opponent roared seething with rage he prepared another attack charging at Yan Jong this time Yan Jong realized it was a fair fight he had trained countless hours for this moment all he needed to do was apply everything he had practiced every single day a simple overhead strike the transfer of strength to his sword began at his fingertips his legs rooted firmly as strong as a mountain eyes sharp like an eagle or at least mostly closed in his case his Southern Edge opponent activated his Aura Yan
Jong knew it was time to strike he remembered Shang Mang's lesson always attack with the intent to end the fight in one blow he scream announcing that he wouldn't hold back his opponent noticed and braced planting his foot and raising his sword to block but Yan jong's strike continued through breaking the sword and landing on his shoulder the shattered blade spun to the ground his opponent stood disbelieving as silence swept the arena another southern Edge disciple had fallen even young Jong couldn't believe What he'd done he steadied himself bowed and thanked his opponent for the
match everyone from Mount H began celebrating once more it was incredible that Yan Jong who trained alongside them had achieved Victory the sect leader felt as though he had ascended to the heavens with no regrets left in this life everyone was smiling as they watched Yun Jong stand proudly in the arena he walked over to his comrades who commented on his perfect Victory even Jool was stunned he asked Yan Jong to share the secret and what he needed to do to win two y Jong reassured him saying that victory was already guaranteed and he would
understand once he was out there he had turned to sha mayang and asked how he managed it how he ured they would win this way cha mayang casually replied that it was simple all he did was tilt the balance in their favor theong and disciples were strong and skilled for their age but That was their greatest weakness confused Yan Jong asked how being strong and skilled could be a weakness Kayan explained that they knew too much for their level of maturity still puzzled Yan Jong asked if it wasn't good for a master to know as
many techniques as possible kyang mayang ever the metaphor King brought up the tower analogy a martial artist's strength depends on how solid their Foundation is the zon and disip were building layers upon layers Without reinforcing their base what happens when such a tower faces a solid foundation Yan Jong answered that the unstable one would collapse Chan mayang said that martial arts are simple at their core a martial artist must use their body efficiently to strike their target with Precision from his basic intention techniques emerge and evolve becoming faster more precise and more resilient all he
did was ensure no one forgot their Roots he pointed out that Joe giel was moving differently than before his footing was solid his sword arcs were clear and true and his eyes calmly observed his surroundings most importantly he now focused all his energy into every strike and for this fight that was all he needed the basics were more than enough to defeat someone training at the same level Yan Jong asked if that was really true if it was so simple why didn't other sex do the same Chong mayang asked what was simple About it was
Yan Jong suggesting the past 6 months of training had been easy Yan Jong quickly clarified that he didn't mean that it just seems simplistic Chang mayang then gave a lesson asking if Yan Jong could spend half his day studying always doing the right thing being honest and just with relatives honorable and virtuous with the weak and poor avoiding wealth accumulation at all costs respecting both those above and below him building True friendships and striving for a better future for the country and family could he do that for the rest of his life Yan Jong admitted
he probably couldn't Jan Mayan explained that this is all that's required to become a great SA Yan J began to understand everyone knows the path to becoming a sage but very few can adhere to such ideals most people cannot consistently live by their principles no matter how simple they may seem Chang mayang added that continuous Effort can even wear down Stone all it takes is dedication to what you wish to achieve nothing in the world is more prestigious than hard work hard work and devotion are what matter most precisely because so few people are capable
of it pushing oneself to the brink over and over for a single goal that's what leads to this kind of outcome Joe jel won is match Yan Jong began to credit Chong mayang but Chong mayang reminded him that the glory wasn't his they became Winners the moment they refused to give up during training Yan Jong hadn't realized there was such deep meaning behind their brutal training he wanted to know where Chong mayang had learned all this he glanced at the arena another victory that made four consecutive wins with him and Joe jel out of the
way the remaining seven competitors were roughly on the same level of skill since the first had won so easily was likely the rest would follow suit in other words They might actually win a southern Edge disciple was flung into the air and crashed to the ground the Victorious Mount Hua disciple celebrated declaring his win everyone cheered for Mount HOA 10 consecutive victories despite the 10 wins the difference in morale was unmistakable the southern Edge members expression said it all Yan Jong turned to Sean mayang thanking him for their Victory Shan mayang asked what he meant
by Victory they needed to remember that They had lost 10 Rounds earlier those 10 victories only brought them to a tie as everyone nodded he interrupted saying they still didn't understand there was no way he was going to leave this as a draw Yan Jong already knew that considering it a victory was madness he declared that accepting a tie would be a lifelong humiliation while everyone hoped he would settle for it staring at his sword he knew a tie had never been an option from the start he had to make Them pay for stealing the
cherry blossom technique worse yet for insulting their leader in front of everyone and for trying to humiliate Mount haa even after being offered Hospitality no way was he going to let these people leave unscathed he called to his brothers saying he had a plan they were to watch every step he took as he walked toward the arena all eyes were on him this was the first of countless times they would see him walk ahead of them this was the Moment Chang Mayan became the leader of Mount HOA meanwhile someone was praying to the ancestors it
was the sect leader speaking calmly saying he never believed this day would come he had always hoped it was possible but not in his lifetime sang celebrated saying the boys had done it the leader agreed unable to find words to express his Joy finally he could face their ancestors without shame but he was still a bit confused he wondered what Shang mayong was planning Now s was Furious calling everyone usess and pathetic how were they supposed to return to jeanan with their tails between their legs he screamed at everyone calling them parasites who had dragged
Jean's name through the mud how could they have brought such disgrace in front of all of shanki jumang knew that with 10 defeats it meant a tie a tie against the Damned Mount HOA this would forever stain Jean's reputation someone raised a hand and asked for permission To speak Sama and jumon turned to see it was cha Mayan he announced that now that it was over he had something to ask he called on Master Wang who asked what it was Shan May pointed out that as a spectator Master hang might be the right person to
ask in his opinion who had won the competition hang wasn't foolish he immediately understood jumang had no intention of letting it end as a tie by asking him directly Chong Mayan expected a particular answer hang said he would Need to consult the others but it was difficult to determine a clear winner a Mustachio Merchant suggested giving the victory to jeanan since the older disciples had won but another Elder argued that the competition was meant to showcase the future so the victory should go to the side with a better Young disciples as they debated hang observed
he told Shang mayang that as he could see it was hard to reach a conclusion Shang mayang replied that he Believed no one would be satisfied with such an ending so if he proposed a tiebreaker to determine the true winner the 10 Victorious Zong and disciples would face the 10 Victorious Mount Hua disciples Mount H gassed in Surprise Chia May suggested that this way they would find the competition's True Result Yan Jong shocked asked if they would really have to compete against the second-year disciples sh Mayan added one condition instead of the usual One-on-one matches
whoever won would remain on the field this meant that a single person could fight multiple matches until defeated the last person standing would determine the winner he asked what they thought while Yan Jong seemed ready to burst Shang Mayan gestured across his neck saying it was time for sudden death sh Sam bewildered asked what the winter stage rule was who is this boy to speak for the entire sect and propose a duel against johanan Shang Mayan casually pointed at the sect leader nearby and told him to discuss it with him s samama growing more irritated
was done with Shang mang's disrespect someone spoke up calling it an intriguing proposal the merchants agreed saying it would be a sight to see was Mount who's third year truly strong enough to defeat the southern edges second-year disciples everyone was eager to see this happen K mayang declared that all it took was the approval of the Two leaders s Salo was about to explode in his seat while hayan Jong was unsure of what Chang mayong was planning Anam spoke up saying he beli they should allow it the boy had a wisdom far beyond his years
while his methods might be a bit forceful he had never seen him propose anything foolish that was why he was sure Chong mayong had considered every doubt that crossed their minds he had a plan and all he asked for was their trust sang agreed and so get high On JN the leader took a deep breath and looked at the arena announcing that mount haa approved with the confrontation now s Sama had no choice refusing to make it seem like they were running away so he begrudgingly accepted The Challenge on behalf of jangan Kang mayang smiled
but Yan Jong quickly pulled him aside throwing him out of the arena and demanding to know what he was thinking Yun Jong asked why he proposed a fight against the second-year Disciples they were much older and a completely different level not to mention jumon the greatest Prodigy in shangi how are they supposed to defeat someone like him Chang mayang asked what he meant by we he turned to Yan Jong and asked if he was serious Yan Jong replied that this was obviously the outcome of his proposal Kong mayang told him to wake up there was
no chance they could win now they were all confused Kong mayang admitted that Joe giol might Manage to defeat one or two second-year disciples but the rest would be crushed as soon as jumang stepped forward it didn't matter how solid their Foundation was that guy was on a completely different level Yan Jong asked what they were supposed to do if Chong mayang had a plan Chong mayang asked what plan he was talking about s believed it would be a battle of attrition with the first nine wearing jumang down for Chong mayong to finish him off
but Chong Mayang said it was irrelevant Jim rang would keep winning even if he had to fight 20 of them s announced that they weren't going to follow the other side's plans anymore besides while Glory was there for him in defeating 10 rookies jumang would fight last YC would be the first competitor and the Elder assured everyone he wouldn't disappoint but someone stepped into the arena it was Shang mayang declaring he didn't care for plans schemes or strategies he was All they needed so they' better come to the arena the opponent gave him a hard
look before entering the arena Kang Maya knew that no matter how strong Mount haa was if they didn't prove it they would be the only ones aware of their strength he needed to prove to the Marshall world that mount haa was changing he needed a quick way to restore the reputation Mount haa had lost with that in mind what kind of news would spread their name the fastest if the third-year Disciples of Mount who defeated the southern edges the third-year disciples it would impress a few people but if Mount who's third years defeated the southern
edges second years it would become news throughout the region but there was one final option what if a single third-year disciple from Mount hula defeated all of Jean and's second-year disciples such a story would become a legend spreading throughout the entire Kingdom Jean mayang called to his Senior brother telling him to remember these words he urged him to watch every move he made until the end the southern disciple sneered impressed by his illusion and confidence it would be his job to teach Chong Mayan the price of arrogance Chong Mayan readied his sword and introduced himself
as Chong Mayan a third-year disciple of Mount Hua challenging jangan the opponent felt ignored but introduced himself as YC Yan Jong quickly noticed that Chang mayang Seemed different it was as if all his arrogance had vanished at that moment he resembled a warrior entering the battlefield he told Jo gel to watch closely they couldn't miss a single movement the boy made from here on out until it was over they couldn't even blink Jang Mayan declared that today would witness the birth of a legend the southern disciple prepared launching a flurry of attacks saying it was
time for Chong Mayan to learn some manners the Sect leader confused wondered since when jnan used such techniques the opponent charged at Chong mayang and just before contact Chang mayang stepped forward with the strike interrupting him the opponent was bewildered but before he could process it Chang mayang Advanced with a downward slash the impact left the opponent's arm trembling from The Clash he couldn't comprehend how such a simple sword Arc could be so powerful another strike came from the side Knocking him away the poor disciple had no idea how Chong mayong moved so quickly worse
yet there were no openings to exploit he wanted to use the 12 blossoming snow strikes but there was no opportunity he endured a flurry of attacks and soon found himself at the edge of the Arena before he could comprehend what was happening the sword was already descending toward his head barely managing to defend himself the impact created a gust of wind that left Hay on Jong stunned the opponent stumbled losing his balance and falling out of the ring he looked terrified while Chang mayang calmly stood in the center Chang mayang turned his Janan and called
for the next Challenger he then walked back to the center someone noticed that Chang mayang defeated yek using only basic techniques defeating his second-year disciple wasn't difficult for an elder like him but the issue was that Chang mayong had done it With simple strikes no counters even as an elder he wasn't sure he could replicate such a feat now the real problem was a parent his instincts screamed that the boy needed to be stopped if he continued to grow he would one day cast a shadow over all of jeanan it was as if the master
of a glowing blade had been resurrected unfortunately for them that was precisely what happened seohan looking unnerved was called Next Sama warned him not to lose So easily at the very least he had to exhaust the boy and buy as much time as possible suan stepped into the arena with determination while Chong mayang stood silently he pointed his sword determined not to underestimate his opponent he wouldn't let Pride guide his actions or lower his guard like YC had there was no way he would lose to a child but then he saw Chang mang's gaze he
began to wonder what kind of pressure this was in an instant Chong mayang Leaped striking downward Sten had to raise both hands hands to block and even then he was driven to his knees shocked he heard a step beside him but before he could react he took a blow to the face he collapsed unconscious K Mayan gripped his sword and called for the next Challenger the mount HOA disciples were stunned so far he had ended two fights with just two strikes mayang turned back knowing this was far from over simply defeating jongan would never satisfy
him Today he intended to leave a permanent scar on their pride something that would never be forgotten as long as the two sex existed what Shaman had done was unforgivable and today they would pay and in the past man haah had sacrificed everything to protect this Kingdom he and his brothers had given their lives valiantly at the hundred Peaks all to stop the leader of the Demonic cult zongan wouldn't even exist without that sacrifice yet they repayed mount H by Stealing their techniques and humiliating what remained he had suppressed his rage waiting for this day
but now he would hold back no longer he shouted for the next opponent the Disciples of jeanan trembled another approached the arena K Mayon decided it was time to unveil the true art of the six elements Joe jel immediately recognized it the falling P technique the opponent was drenched in sweat gripping his sword tightly in the next Moment Janan was already behind him he looked back just as he was struck on the shoulder he was confused how did the attack land after Chan mayong had already appeared behind him he yelled charging forward but Chan mayong
turned and delivered another strike it hit his shoulder again and he dropped to his knees the blade came to his neck pausing for a moment then it struck and he fell to the ground y Jon immediately recognized that this was entirely Different from what they had been practicing he never imagined that a simple technique could defeat the zongan disciples so effortlessly it was as if Chang mayong was demonstrating that what Mount hu learn was in no way inferior to Jan's teachings Joe jel who had practiced it relentlessly wondered if this was truly the pedal technique
Yan Jong responded by telling him to keep watching that this was the true swordsmanship of Mount HOA this was what Should be mastered and passed on to Future Generations he prayed for Chong Mayan to continue showing what it meant to be a disciple of Mount Hua the true power of Mount H's sword another disciple fell to the ground Kong mayang called for the next one sticks disciples had now been defeated the southern Edge disciples began to question if they might really lose the worst part was that they were losing to a single third-year disciple one
tried to urge Another forward but fear gripped everyone Yong stood disgusted by the sight he never thought Jonathan's disciples would cower before a child 10 years or junior he rose declaring that they had no Pride left he announced that he would be the next to fight he could no longer sit and watch this brat do as he pleased he would try to salvage What Lil honor remained he demanded his sword and made his way toward the arena but s stopped him ordering Muk to go instead Jon was confused but the Elder told him his job
was to buy time and hold the boy down if necessary he had understand the gravity of this task reluctantly manuk agreed and stepped into the arena while jumang stood Frozen s called him aside as they walked to a corner s asked if jumon believed anyone could defeat the boy jumon hesitated and Sama noted that he already knew the truth the child was a monster at the very least the birth of a dragon that could one day threaten Them all they could not allow such a being to continue growing unchecked endangering your future s asked if
jumang understood what he was saying jum rang still unsure realized that Chong mayang was indeed extremely talented but he didn't expect the Elder to be this afraid how could Chan Mayan alone endanger the entire future of jeanan or was the Elder implying that even he couldn't defeat the boy the Elder explained that jumang was The Prodigy of Their generation but it would be foolish to think he was the only prodigy in the Marshall World in this era alone there were dozens like him at this moment Jun rang might believe he would become the greatest martial
artist but unfortunately it was not prodigies who fought for the title of strongest in the world monsters fought for that title those who defied common sense and bent the laws of human nature for sheer strength only those with innate talents That challenged the order of the universe could compete for such a title another body at the ground s pointed out that Chang mayang was one of those monsters jumon was about to speak but the Elder cut him off yes cha May was a monster but he had not yet reached his full potential a tiger cub
could still be killed by a wild dog if found too young junong asked what he meant by that samama gave the order to kill the boy his potential was too vast and they Needed to eliminate and Ma they still had hope though Chong mayong was a monster he wasn't beyond their reach they had to strike while they could or they would never have another opportunity if they couldn't kill him they had to ensure he would never fight again s asked if jumang understood but jum rang realized the Elder had lost his composure he tried to
reason with him but samon refused to live under the shadow of that boy forever he urged Jumang to Choose Wisely no matter what happened he would bear the responsibility in the middle of an intense battle a blade might slip a tragic accident Jang declared that he was not weak enough to live in Chong mang's Shadow but if Chong mayang truly threatened the existence and prosperity of jeanan he would do what was necessary Sama smiled pleased with jum rang's resolve another explosion of energy and the eighth body fell Kang mayong wanted To end it quickly but
it was proving difficult those remaining were terrified of entering the arena he already knew who the final opponent would be then someone stepped into the arena the young Master introduced himself acknowledging that he had no chance of deserving this fight yet even so he could would stand idly by while the sect he loved was humiliated publicly XA mayong smiled clearly not everyone in jeanan was a coward it was isong back who had stepped Forward and Chong mayong thought this one at least had something to prove isan Beck bowed and introduced himself seeking a fair duel
Chong mayong accepted introducing himself in return even though the young man was a disciple of jeanan Chang Mayan found himself unable to hate him for some reason since that was the case you would show him a thing or two about the level you should strive to reach one day isong back took a deep breath bre entering his stance Kong mayang warned him that if he survived what was about to happen he would grow stronger but if he failed he would be consumed from the inside out that was the choice he had to make isang back
roared preparing and charging forward Kang mayang raised his sword thinking that he would only display the basics for now but this was the swordsmanship that Jan and of the past once desired to reach they clash and suddenly Chong mayang vanished is on Back couldn't understand why everything suddenly went dark he asked himself where he was looking up he saw something descending a massive sword bearing down on him he knew what he was seeing wasn't real but the difference in their power was unmistakable the strike cut through him and the entire area split as he remained
motionless blood spilled and he dropped to his knees he smiled saying that he had seen it the true state of becoming one with the sword he collapsed And Chang mayong knew that made nine only one remained Kang mayong turned to jumang and called him out everyone wondered if such a moment had ever existed in Mount H's history jongan completely defeated not even in the peak era of the glowing blade Master had something like this occurred when was the last time a disciple of Mount hoah had stood so proudly against their Jeong and Rivals Sayang wanted
to speak but the leader told him to remain silent for Now they would simply watch he was curious to see what Chong mayang would show next as grion walked toward the arena he found the sensation unsettling he was accustomed to eyes filled with admiration and respect his entire life he had worked to earn such recognition but in a single day it had all been Twisted into fear and doubt he asked Chang mayang if he wanted praise saying that what he had done was too easy accused him of being bold and insulting But Chan Mayan replied
he was merely stating facts why should he be congratulated for defeating the weak stething with raged jumon couldn't help but hate him from the moment they met his dismissive demeanor treating him as if he were no different from the others it all infuriated him he asked if Chang mayong really thought he would show humility towards someone like him there was saying too much politness can be disrespectful he admitted that Chang Mayang was strong enough to be arrogant defeating all the second-year disciples alone was enough to be called a prodigy but it was unfortunate for Chan
way that he was born in the same era as him because of that Misfortune he would spend the rest of his life looking at jum Ron's back knowing that the Gap would never close Kang mayang questioned who was truly arrogant jumang ignored him stating that mount hu was fixated on restoring its past Glory what future did A sect have that was stuck in the past Johan however was different they were focused solely on creating stronger martial arts and refining their training methods M huo would never catch up to the southern sect sham Mayan acknowledged his
pride in his sect and his ability to back up those words words he even wished his own Brothers had some of that confidence but the future jumang spoke of was built on martial arts that jongan had stolen it made him wonder What kind of future a sect of Thieves could have a sect that repaid sacrifice with betrayal in his battle with isong Beck Chong mayang had hoped to plant a seed to show a different future but he didn't know if it would take root this fight however was different if jman truly wished to claim Mount
who's Legacy they would have to earn it by defeating him he would show them exactly what they sought from this moment on his actions would not be those of Chong Wayan a Third-year disciple of Mount HOA there would be a display of the glowing blade Master's Legacy he declared he would give shangan a brilliant future one that would never forget everyone stood watching Yan Jong heard someone shouting for people to get out of the way it was Bin brus and battered insisting that he had to witness this they told him to rest but he insisted
they not worry he needed to see this the moment he woke up he received the news that Chong mayang Had won nine consecutive battles as a disciple of the backland age he couldn't keep lying down after hearing that he had to be there to watch sha mayang fight and cheer for him no matter the pain he was in in front of him was the only person who could save Mount who is honor Kang mayong prepared himself jumang extended his blade to the side and everything fell silent then he took a step forward and both Fighters
disappeared beian couldn't even see what Happened the two exchanged blows in the middle of the Arena getting thrown back but as soon as they hit the ground they leaped to the center again they exchanged another strike and their swords began to crack k Mayan managed to knock Jon's arm backward but they continued exchanging countless blows K Mayan with confid while jumang was shouting in desperation everyone watched from afar and Jo J couldn't see anything his mind strugg to process whether this Was really happening in front of him once again their swords clashed jumang activated the
12 strikes of the blooming snow the move caught Chang mayon's attention a blue Vortex formed and he was sent flying slowly Chong mayang got back up that move was very familiar a series of strikes that created pedes in the air with a hidden final blow among them it was truly an impressive imitation an exact replica of the 24 strikes of the cherry blossom it was Still far from the technique Chong Mayan had once used a less experienced swordsman would be mesmerized by the series of attacks with meticulous movements and Powerful strikes demonstrating a skill level
even he was impressed by jumang Advanced once more Johan Mayan observed calmly the technique was deployed again hitting his arm thigh and face he stepped back wiping the blood from his face as jumang taunted him calling him a coward for Retreating jumon remarked that Legends said mount hu was once famous for its swordsmanship that created the blossoming of pedes but that that was just a legend of the past even the iconic swordsmanship of Mount HOA had been reduced to nothing the world would forget it and begin to praise the 12 strikes of the blooming snow
he'd heard that the ancestors created this technique to show that Jonathan was always stronger than Mount haa he Personally wasn't proud of it as what value was there in proving superiority over such a failure but with that said he took pride in being the one to lay Mount H's sword to the ground he HED cha mayong wasn't foolish enough to believe he had any chance Shan mayang laughed saying Mount H would not fall to a clown's Tech technique confused jumang asked how he dared make such a comparison Kang mayong told him not to take it
personally it was just revolting To him that jongan had created this style but it was astonishing how he fell from the nonsense his sect invented jumon lost his temper declaring that he would make him pay for that but Chang mayong wanted to ask something did he truly understand the real meaning of that style jumong looked puzzled asking what he was talking about Chang mayang replied that he heard enough he would give him credit indeed 12 strikes of the snow was a decent imitation of Mount haa But something was missing Mount Ho's sword was faster sharper
and more brilliant Jun rang said enough talk he realized it was pointless to entertain such nonsense he stomped on the ground activating his Aura vowing not to waste any more time today the boy would die by his hands a blue aura surrounded his body he prepared as it Circle him and suddenly pedals appeared the entire ground began to split apart jumang proclaimed that the pedal sharp as Blades would cover the Sun and obliterate he wouldn't let him Escape today the aura spread activating the final technique of the 12 strikes of the blooming snow the covering
of the sky with palal a tornado form as beian watched it was far more than he' expected was foolish to think he had a chance Yan Jong called out to Chong mayang and Isel U noticed how similar it was to the technique Chong mayang had used that day yet as similar as it was It was still different for Chong mayang this was an unusual experience he imagined this must have been what demons felt when facing his technique attacks rained down around him but he knew one thing for sure this was an imitation with no true
substance lenan quickly recogn I that stance he remembers the toms and the Elder calls out saying it's impossible they mastered the style already they shot for cha Mayo not to face it because they'd never seen the Style of jeanan before and he had no chance Kang mayang thinks to himself how everyone believes the blooming technique belongs to jeanan unaware that it's merely an audacious copy of the blossoming cherry blossom technique the worst part is it's a poor imitation the style of the blossoming cherry blossom wasn't the only way Mount huo could make pedes appear he
prepares himself thinking it doesn't matter which style is used the mount ho swordsman could Make pedal Bloom anywhere even where none existed so he activates the plum blossom pedal slash technique flowers don't only bloom in vast forests sometimes they bloom on a Lone Tree at top of mountain peak in fact it is only the trees that stand strong against Fierce winds that earn the right to bloom the smallest glimpse of a plum blossom begins to appear jumon wonders why he's seen petals as far as he knew Mount Hua no longer possessed this power Everyone believed
Mount Hua would never reclaim its Glory so how was a technique that should have been extinct being wielded right before him P begin to converge and strangely the snow pedes dissolve jumang doesn't understand why they're disintegrating K mayang says it's because it's all an illusion he unleashes a slash toward jumon who barely Dodges it the ground shatters beneath the strike and jumang questions how this snow technique could have been Dismantled it was certain no one could have executed it more perfectly it seemed impossible that it vanished like that a style he wielded was supposed to
be levels Beyond Mount H's outdated techniques the Pinnacle of Jean's martial arts so how could this be happening Kon mayang asks if he truly believed Mount who's techniques merely copied to fall of P obviously not every martial artist strives to become one with nature and demonstrate their Virtuous path through physical Mastery the wadang sect follows yinyang the dang Kang sect follows the sun Kong Tong follows the five elements Mount who follows the plum blossom PS nothing but the simple P that is what makes Mount who stand out from all other sects many mocked Mount Hua
saying it was a mere sect without true twiist Essence focused solely on the beauty of their techniques but what sha Mayan learned through a lifetime of practicing Mount H's Swordsmanship was that this place did not seek to merely Express P it didn't mimic them superficially Mount who's sword genuinely created pedal a place that remained true to the essence of blooming their techniques allowed petel to manifest in reality the reason they adopted Plum blossoms was because they covered Mount who's Peaks the truth was that their goal was to create meaning for the sword regardless of which
flower it became anyone who mastered Mount H's Techniques could make pedal Bloom with any style this was the true intention behind Mount hua's swordsmanship a goal to keep close to the heart of anyone bearing Mount H's name but those mesmerized by the beauty of flowers or entranced by a dazzling sequence of strikes would never grasp the Pinnacle of this place's swordsmanship instead they would be trapped in a m of shallow Splendor just like jumon was now Jang mayang tells all disciples whether of Mount ho or jeanan to watch closely this is how their sword would
break today's defeated his hands would leave an everlasting Mark in their minds he begins to prepare telling them they would remember this moment every time they swung their swords without even realizing it they would try to replicate it every time they trained their concept of Marshall prowess would never surpass the swordsmanship he displayed it would become a shackle that would bind their Minds forever and it would punish them for their disrespect in the most fitting way even when they were betrayed by allies they trusted when their foundational sword techniques were stolen or when their sacred
mountains were invaded by their Arch enemies Mount H endured because what is the universe if not an eternal cycle of birth death and rebirth the blossoming of these pedal embodied The Virtuous path their ancestors sought to attain this was his Way of paying the price for his past failures and ensuring that mount H would persist even Beyond his death it was so that all Mount HOA disciples would witness a legacy they had lost a level they should strive to reach one day he then used the plum blossom P slash declaring that his sword would become
the pillar sustaining the sect a series of strikes were launched toward Chong mayang and Chong mayang said that this single pillar would become the Foundation for all others to support this place just like pedel swept up in a raging storm in the midst of Fury he would become an Unstoppable hurricane two hurricanes surged toward the adversary who stood there unable to comprehend what was happening the protagonist declared that this was the monua sword style the final technique of the blooming plum blossom p a strike landed squarely on cha mayang shredding his clothes as he struggled
to react Amidst the chaos he had finally witnessed the true style of manua and couldn't help but acknowledge his profound Beauty yet why was it so different why couldn't his own sword reach the same Heights staggering backward our protagonist pressed his feet into the ground as he looked up something appeared on his forehead abandoning the cut he continued to question why with that the sword fell from his hands and he dropped to his Knees the poor adversary had been defeated for back it was an unfathomable Fortress sha mayang then picked up his sword and began
to turn away announcing the winner of this year's competition he smiled and declared it was Monty Hua at that moment bake shouted that it was incredible and everyone began to celebrate the elders were laughing with emotion their Victory had finally come they had defeated jeanan 10 consecutive win followed by 10 more victories it was The first time in this lifetime they had triumphed in this competition y Jong felt immense Pride that even a defeated secondy year disciples were cheering for their comrade though they bickered among themselves when mon Who's name was at stake everything else
was left behind that Bond United them then someone yanked him by the collar it was Joe giil exclaiming that the Rascal had really done it he defeated Jun Rion 10 consecutive victories something they had Never imagined possible however our protagonist was coughing up blood realizing that he had overexerted himself in today's battle to defeat jumang he had pushed his techniques to the Limit causing internal injuries that would take time to heal nevertheless it was a price he would pay again and again this wasn't over as long as they remain neighbors it would continue to clash
but for now he could saor the outcome he then called for UNAM who stumbled into The field still somewhat dazed standing in the middle in disbelief he looked at the young hero who nodded in silent Assurance taking a deep breath unim announced that mon H was the victor of this year's competition Jang mayang reflected that with this he had altered the course of Fate what happened today would forever change Monty haa he wondered if his brothers in the afterlife would be proud unsurprisingly there was no response he had come to Expect their frugality with praise

by everything he did today as he ascends the mountain he Muses over possible explanations should he reveal that he is someone from the Past who return to the present perhaps he should claim he learned by chance from the ancient texts he found he knows none of these stories will be truly convincing and he is unsure of how to persuade the leader suddenly someone grabs his face Calling him a lovely little child it's Yong xinan who jokingly Praises him for turning the competition into a financial winfall thanks to Young Master Chiang mayang the bringer of money

his duty surpassed any personal desires he had which meant there were questions that needed answers he asked how Chang mayang managed to conjure cherry blossom p with that sword technique Chang mayang crumpled his mental prepar answers and said it was simply by chance he had been training to master the technique and one day he realized even that style could produce peels he didn't fully understand how it happened if he got the guess he Would say that any Mount H technique could make pedes Bloom when Master to the peak level the leader considered his question trivial
thinking it natural for such results from Mount H's swordsmanship X Mayan the youngest of the third-year disciples insisted that this happened because he was ahead in his training but it showed that with consistent practice anyone could achieve it perhaps in the distant future every disciple of Hua would be able to make The petal Bloom if that ever happened it would Herald a new era for Mount haa the leader nodded and remarked that Chang mayang truly embody the title of the flowering swordsman for a long time no one had dared to carry such a title and
