Episode 232 Tower of Trials (4)
“As expected, those two are the last two left.”
Park Cheon-soo of the Sea God Guild nodded when he saw the message that appeared on the tower. I thought from the beginning that one of those two would attack the tower, so I thought it was a natural result.
“Who is Seon Woo-hyun other than Baek Woo-jin?”
“you idiot! “That’s Gwangryong’s real name!”
“Why are you angry? “I didn’t know because they always called me Gwangryong.”
Kim Yeo-hoon, a wizard from the same Sea God Guild, scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.
“So which of those two will win?”
“You don’t know that? “The results are already out.”
Park Cheon-soo twisted his mouth and clicked his tongue.
“The results are out?”
“Gwangryong inherited all of Daeyeonmunju’s martial arts and surpassed Baekwoojin’s level a long time ago. Even if the current Baek Woo-jin dies and wakes up, he will not be able to defeat Gwangryong.”
“Well, you never know.”
“I like Baek Woo-jin too, but not this time. “It’s like breaking a rock with an egg.”
Although he himself is very attracted to Baek Woo-jin’s chivalry, it’s not like he doesn’t like it. It may be later, but the current Baek Woo-jin could not defeat Gwangryong.
“That’s right.”
“Well, no matter how much he is Baek Woo-jin, Gwangryong is a bit….”
“It was a long time ago that Gwangryong reached the level of strength.”
Other talents also nodded in agreement with his thoughts.
“But where did the medical school go?”
Park Cheon-soo looked around and tilted his head. Baek Woo-jin would appear soon, but his sword belt was nowhere to be seen.
“huh? “I heard you have a mission?”
“Do you have a mission at a time like this?”
Park Cheon-su stuck out his tongue. Going on a mission in this situation made me think that they were not under Baek Woo-jin for no reason.
“Only the sword codfish for that inspection.”
**
Damn it!
Baek Woo-jin and Gwangryong clashed in the center.
The sharp blade of the Dark Dragon was blocked by something of an opaque shape raised by the light dragon.
-That…
is ‘Yeongjak (令酌).’
-Youngjak?
‘It is one of the new weapons obtained by the Great Yeonmunju, and it is a piece that can be transformed into any weapon.’
Daeyeonmunju handed over Yeongjak, a new recruit who could transform into a sword, spear, and even armor, to Gwangryong.
This was a part that showed how much he believed in Gwangryong.
Whiiing!
The light dragon rotated sideways and changed the spear into the form of a long spear. The long spear made of English made a bright blue rotation and pierced Baek Woo-jin’s heart.
Whoops!
Baek Woo-jin struck down the swirling long spear with his sword and skill.
“Hmm…”
It is so powerful that a moan naturally flows out. Although it was the same spear technique as a heavy horse, Gwangryong’s spear was on a completely different level.
Whoa!
Even after tasting the power of the spear, Baek Woo-jin chose to head forward rather than step back. He lowered his body slightly and launched a lightning bolt.
-Good choice!
Darkness gave Baek Woo-jin an admiring look. Gwangryong’s spear technique is mixed with warrior skills. If you step back against a singing style like that, you lose momentum. Moving forward was the best way.
Absolutely!
Gwangryong swung his polearm and created a blue window screen. Twenty-two lightning islands melted in front of the spear’s shield.
But Baek Woo-jin’s attack is not over yet. Stepping on the Mansangbo, he appeared from the left side of the light dragon and struck down the dark sword.
“It’s a good tactic. But…”
Gwangryong played with his feet without being embarrassed. It was a speed comparable to that of Kwae’s walking pace.
Whoa!
As soon as Gwangryong dodged the arm sword, he held the spear briefly and fired the blade towards Baek Woojin’s neck.
Yikes!
Baek Woo-jin applied Yu’s trick to the Amingeom and sent the blade of the spear downward. The sound of a sharp spear blade cutting into the hard floor was terrifying.
Coo coo coo coo!
Baek Woo-jin struck down Muryeongcham towards Gwangryong, who was in a low posture. Even though a huge pressure was pressing down on his body, Gwangryong’s expression was calm.
“Cheonpapunghon.”
Gwangryong took a step back and poured his strength and rotational force into the spear and struck it diagonally. It was the solar eclipse of Cheonpa Punghon, the season of Wind Machang.
Kwaaaaang!
The strong shock waves exploded in all directions, creating scars like blades of wind on the wall.
Squeaky!
Baek Woo-jin and Gwangryong glared into each other’s eyes with the narrow sides of the spear and sword blade facing each other.
Fighting.
The moment the stone fell from the wall, Baek Woo-jin twisted his sword and stabbed Gwangryong in the waist.
Teuong!
Gwangryong pushed away the dark sword with the spear and then changed the form of Yeongjak. In a split second, Yeongjak turned into a gauntlet and wrapped around Gwangryong’s fist.
Whoa!
Gwangryong rolled on the ground roughly and threw out his fist. The Cheon Gong Fist used by Black Woo rushed to Baek Woo Jin with the help of Gwangryong’s fist.
Sigh!
Baek Woo-jin used the trick of the hand and drew his sword towards Gwangryong’s fist.
Coooooo!
The fist and the sword collided head-on, creating a loud noise as if a cliff was collapsing and a grand shock wave.
“Huh…”
Baek Woo-jin gritted his teeth and pushed away Gwangryong’s fist. The guy’s Tiangokken contained powerful energy compressed to the point of brutality. If it weren’t for the Diamond Buddha, my flesh would have burst.
“Your body is quite strong.”
Gwangryong stretched out both fists at the same time. This is Cheon Gyeong-kwon’s ultimate Daebyeokgung-kwon, in which a fist as heavy as a mace is fired like a bullet.
“It would be nice to have more technology.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed and a sword bloomed in fear. He swung the Dark Sword roughly and unleashed a sword-fired sword shape.
Hahaha!
The linked sword sword, clad in a sword, completely destroyed the power of Gwangryong’s Great Wall Palace Fist.
“Huh….”
Baek Woo-jin lightly spit out a sigh and rushed forward. At that moment, the light dragon stepped back and changed its form once again.
Hehehe!
Yeongjak changed into an elongated whip that was divided into nine branches like a phoenix’s tail.
Whoa!
Gwangryong stepped on the wall and struck Baek Woojin with his whip. The entire whip flashed with white light. It was the Seonghwan version that Baekgye used.
Kwaaaaang!
Nine whips fluttered like living snakes and fell towards Baek Woo-jin’s whole body.
“You do a variety of things.”
Baek Woo-jin made a sword attack with a strong energy. The shadows of the sword filled with strength blocked the five whips. The remaining four stems escaped by stepping on Kwae and Byeon’s steps.
Quagwagwagwang!
Every time Seonghwangpyeon poured out, the hard floor burst like soft sand. It was so powerful that even a single hit would cause flesh and bones to explode.
Boom!
Baek Woo-jin advanced, scanning the power and irregular trajectory with his eyes. Spreading sword spirit, he jumped into the immediate vicinity of the light dragon.
“Don’t you know that?”
Gwangryong dodged to the right, retrieved his whip, and rolled it into a circle. He struck Baek Woo-jin, who approached him, with a whip that resembled a mace.
“I have eyes too.”
Baek Woo-jin used Gwanilgeuk containing white ice to freeze the whip’s mace and then struck Gwangryong’s left side and brought down the Armin Sword.
Tiek!
Gwangryong frowned and stepped back, blocking the blade of the Dark Sword with the handle of his whip.
Ugh!
At that moment, the form of Youngjak changed once again. It is a weapon that protrudes elongatedly like the claws of an animal.
“It’s going to be quite different from what you’ve seen.”
It was clear that the person Gwangryong was talking about was Hwangho. In other words, it meant that Hwangho would use the Hwanhwa method that he had been using for a long time.
Cheeeeee!
A long river of energy surged from the light dragon’s tank. It was a lecture containing extreme anticipation and the secrets of a pleasant lecture.
Squeaky!
Gwangryong swung down his right hand, which was filled with enormous power. The sounds of waves splitting the air and the waves of river energy swept over my son-in-law.
Whoops!
Baek Woo-jin imbued the Amingeom with bows and deeds of gratitude and cut off Hwangho’s tribute before it could receive the strongest force.
“It’s pretty good.”
Gwangryong swung his sword mercilessly as if he were a truly fierce tiger. It seemed like he was swinging without thinking, but there were no gaps. The dense river raged like a storm.
Awesome! Damn it!
Baek Woo-jin used the Wind Wall Sword Strike in succession in front of a wave of strong energy that could have blown off his limbs due to a moment’s mistake.
Coo coo coo coo!
The wall of strength rose diagonally and blocked all waves of compatible fishing techniques.
Baek Woo-jin broke through the wind of the wind and wall and hurled the dark sword towards the heart of Gwangryong.
“good night!”
Gwangryong put his hands together and clasped them. In his hands, he used the seasonal cross plate of the compatible method that even the emperor could not use.
Cheeeeee!
A harsh force that seemed to tear apart the sky and the earth poured out from both hands of the light dragon.
Whoa!
Baek Woo-jin quickly changed the trajectory of Amingeom. I gave up stabbing and raised my sword upward and lowered it diagonally. The falling blade contained the energy of a meteor.
Kwaaaaang!
Nakseongwihwa’s sword, which contained the energy of neutrality and change, blocked the cross plate, but it was a little lacking. The power of the cross cut through the star’s energy and approached Baek Woo-jin’s heart.
Paaang!
But the true power of Nakseongwihwa is not the stars. Flowers bloomed from the remnants of a fallen star. The blooming black flower released the energy of the cross into the air.
Chaang!
Baek Woo-jin and Gwangryong stepped back at the same time.
“…What is the name of that sword technique?”
“Nakseongwihwa.”
“It’s a good name because it’s a flower that blooms after falling stars.”
Gwangryong nodded as if impressed and changed his grip to a baton. This time it was Honwon’s baton technique.
“Good.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed as he watched Gwangryong spinning the baton. It was a cheerful laugh full of joy.
-it’s crazy? What’s so good about it all of a sudden?
‘It’s fun.’
The martial arts used by Gwangryong were ones I had seen more than once, but they were completely different.
Baekgye’s whip was like a dragon’s tail, Huang Ho’s method was like a dragon’s claw, not a tiger’s, and the spear blade of the heavy horse was digested with a dragon’s teeth.
The martial arts used by Gwangryong resembled those of Daeyeonmunju. It was bound to be fun as I was competing head to head with someone like that.
“It’s perfect.”
In particular, he was the perfect training partner since he might one day fight Daeyeonmunju.
“It’s perfect? “What does that mean?”
“Someday I will have to defeat the Great Yeonmunju, so this is perfect practice.”
“You are out of your mind.”
Gwangryong’s mask was twisted. He was blatantly laughing at Baek Woo-jin.
“My master, your father, and Jeok Jiaju are people who have already reached transcendence. No, they are vague beings that can even be called people. Can you defeat those people? “You are dreaming the impossible.”
“You think so too.”
“That is natural. “I will follow in his footsteps and become the next transcendent.”
“okay?”
Baek Woo-jin laughed lightly, making a hollow sound.
“What does that smile mean?”
“It means you and I are different.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his sword and aimed it at Gwangryong. Confidence was visible from the raised corners of his mouth.
“I thought this was a 5/5 match, but I think I’ll win.”
**
Gwangryong frowned.
‘what?’
Something about Baek Woo-jin has changed. It’s not like the Aurors got stronger or their power suddenly increased. But more than that, I felt a clear change.
I couldn’t pinpoint what it was exactly. However, the energy wave that Baek Woo-jin emitted was completely different from before.
Even though I kept changing my weapons and martial arts, I was defeated endlessly. They were literally pushing like a bulldozer. It feels like seeing the embodiment of struggle.
Teuong!
He stabbed Baek Woo-jin with his spear, aiming for an opening, but was counterattacked instead. The guy was recklessly breaking through the martial arts he was using.
“What on earth have you done!”
“I didn’t do anything.”
“Then why!”
“That’s because you and I are different.”
Baek Woo-jin cleanly cut off Gwang-ryong’s punch and struck his waist with his elbow.
“Ugh, so what’s the difference?”
“You said you would follow in your teacher’s footsteps. But I’m different.”
A blue light shone in Baek Woo-jin’s eyes.
I am different from Gwangryong. Like Gwangryong, he swung the sword not to continue his teacher’s legacy, but to defeat Baek Cheon-hwa, and he sharpened his mind to defeat Baek Cheon-hwa.
From the time I laid down on the floor of the training hall and told my story to Heukam, my feelings have not changed.
The only goal is to bring Baek Tian-hwa to his knees.
“dare!”
Gwangryong burst into anger, thinking that Baek Woojin had insulted his teacher. For the first time, the madness worthy of that title colored his entire body.
‘It’s the same.’
Baek Woo-jin felt bitterness at the tip of his tongue.
It was the same as the fact that the direct descendants of the Bai family could not think of going beyond Bai Tianhua and the disciples of the Great Yan Wen Master had no idea of going beyond the Great Yan Wen Lord.
I don’t know if the two absolutes are intentionally making it that way, or if it happens automatically due to their enormous force and force.
‘I might have been like that too.’
If he had been born with the right talent, he would have followed Baek Cheon-hwa for the rest of his life. Because I lived this kind of life, I started thinking differently.
‘I’m glad so.’
I was fortunate to realize reality, as if my brain had broken out of the vat. It was thanks to darkness.
“….”
Baek Woo-jin looked at the darkness with eyes filled with gratitude.
-What you looking at?
‘no.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled and turned his head to Gwangryong, who was compressing his power.
Gooooo!
Gwangryong turned Jakyeong into a bead that could be held in his hand and poured the aura that swayed his heart into it.
“It’s still unfinished, but it’s enough to kill you.”
From the light dragon’s hand, a sphere of blue energy rose, blazing like the sun. I knew it as soon as I saw that flowing river. It was the Taehyeon mine used by Daeyeonmunju.
Quaaaaa!
A huge sphere with a flowing river rose like a blue sun. Although its size and power were less than that of the Great Yeonmunju, it contained enough energy to erase the space itself.
“Taehyun Gwanggu is the essence of nothingness created by Master. “You couldn’t even defeat your father, so die knowing that you’ll be honored!”
“that’s right. “My father couldn’t break it.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded. Baek Tian-hwa was unable to break Dae Yeon-munju’s Taehyeon Guanggu. But he still had the blade to cut it down.
-That’s not all.
Baek Woo-jin had a fighting spirit that neither Hon-won nor Gwang-ryong had. It was a beast with sharpened fangs to fight against those stronger than itself. There was no way I could back down from a bead like that.
Quaaaaa!
Baek Woo-jin twisted the Dark Sword and activated Geomun. He drew up all the aura of the dantian that exploded like a flood and captured it in the Dark Sword.
Wooooow!
A dark glow darker than the shadow rose above the blade of the Dark Sword.
“Phew….”
Baek Woo-jin raised his dark sword towards the overwhelming energy of Taehyeon Gwang-gu, which could melt even the soul.
Hahaha!
As the haze of strong energy spreading from Taehyeon Mine melted the space itself and approached, I kicked the ground and jumped into the space.
Cheeeeeek!
The burning river melted my flesh, but I did not stop my hands. He struck down his arm, which had been pulled taut like a bowstring.
Sigh!
The ink-colored scribe wrapped around the blade of the Amin Sword was shot straight at Taehyeon Guanggu. It was a sword made to destroy the Taehyeon Mine.
Whoa!
The black brilliance emitted by Taehyun Gwang-gu and Baek Woo-jin collided like the sun and moon.
“no use!”
A light of victory appeared in Gwangryong’s eyes. Taehyeongwanggu is the strongest martial art that contains the martial arts of Daeyeonmunju. No matter how strong Baek Woo-jin’s sword attack is, it will never break through.
“Ah…”
But a different scene unfolded than he expected. A black blade wrapped in a magnificent sword was splitting the Taehyeon Mine.
“That’s ridiculous….”
Even if Taehyeon Gwanggu is attacked, he has the property of absorbing the attack. However, Baek Woo-jin’s sword attack ignored that ability. It made no sense.
Coo coo coo coo!
The Taehyun mine, wrapped in the brilliance of Nakilcham, split in half and lost its light. The shining blue sun crashed.
Toouk.
Gwangryong’s mask split in half and a red line appeared in the center of his face.
“That sword…”
Gwangryong was unable to control his body and fell backwards. He grabbed Baek Woo-jin’s pants as he approached him, trembling.
“It’s the last day. “This is a sword I made after watching your teacher and my father fight.”
“Am I going to fall? Then…”
“Okay. “It is a sword to break your teacher’s martial arts skills that your father was unable to break.”
“You saw that and thought about breaking it?”
Gwangryong vomited blood and opened his eyes wide.
‘This guy…’
I had seen my teacher, Daeyeonmunju, use Taehyeongwanggu many times, but never once did I think of defeating him.
However, it is said that Baek Woo-jin saw Taehyun Gwang-gu just once and made a sword to break it. He was right. He and Baek Woo-jin were completely different beings.
“…It’s my defeat.”
Gwangryong closed his eyes and muttered.
< You have passed the tenth test. >
< The only person who has passed the tenth test is Baek Woo-jin. >
“Let me say one last thing.”
Gwangryong raised his head with difficulty and continued speaking.
“Not yet. “I need to gain more strength.”
“I know.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded. I had no intention of challenging my father or Lord Daeyeonmun until I reached at least the same level.
If the person who used Taehyeon Gwanggu today was Daeyeonmunju, he would have been the one who died.
“You come out…”
When Gwangryong was about to say another word, his body glowed white and disappeared. They admitted defeat and were ejected from the tower.
< Move to the top floor of the tower. >
A message appeared on the wall and Baek Woo-jin’s body flashed white.
**
“This is…”
Baek Woo-jin narrowed his eyes to look ahead, but couldn’t see anything. If you can’t see anything even with your eyesight, it means it’s not an ordinary place.
“Can you see it?”
-No, I don’t feel anything.
“They said they would send it to the top floor, so what on earth are we going to do…”
As Baek Woo-jin was grumbling, the sound of footsteps could be heard from afar.
Jeez.
It was a sound of walking that made my heart pound even though I was missing something.
Jeez.
As the footsteps got closer, the owner of the footsteps began to appear.
“uh…?”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes shook violently. The white long robe and flawless black sword hanging from his waist were all too familiar.
-What the hell!
‘How…’
I saw the man’s face. The corners of his mouth were twisted up as if he was laughing at the world, with a cold expression that would not produce a single drop of blood even if pricked with a needle.
Grunting –
Baek Woo-jin gritted his teeth. He was someone I could never forget, even in death.
“father….”
