I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy - Chapter 216

Episode 216 Return (3)

Cheeeeee!

He held up the dark sword in his right hand and the black sword in his left hand at the same time.

The violent energy that exploded from the two swords collided with Baek Cheon-hwa’s sword and Hwang Byeong-hun’s spear.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

Three streams of river energy collided, creating a huge explosion that seemed to rupture the earth and bring down the sky.

Whoa!

As the gray dust settled, the figure of Baek Woo-jin standing in the center was revealed.

“Wow….”

“Uh….”

“Master Do!”

Everyone could not keep their mouths shut at the sight of Baek Woo-jin, who simultaneously received the strength of two absolute figures, Baek Cheon-hwa and Hwang Byeong-hun, and exuded the spirit of a noble hero.

“Hmm…”

Baek Cheon-hwa’s eyes shook violently like a sailboat hit by a wave.

‘This guy is Woojin?’

There was no need to doubt. It was his son Baek Woo-jin who came down from the sky. However, his subversive prayer and huge presence made me doubt my eyes.

‘How can he grow like this…’

It’s been just over half a year that I haven’t seen Baek Woo-jin. If it was long, it would be long; if it was short, it would be a short time, but it was physically impossible to achieve that kind of growth.

‘My skill level is beyond beginner level.’

Although it was a strong performance due to a warm-up, Baek Woo-jin was able to withstand the strength of himself and Hwang Byeong-hoon at the same time. It meant that the level of strength had reached intermediate level.

The realization that leads to the use of strength is money, a momentary realization, and the growth of that strength is score, which is gradual growth.

Baek Woo-jin achieved these two realizations that should have taken him over five years in just six months. It was a growth rate I had never heard or seen.

“Huh…”

For the first time, Baek Cheon-hwa felt a chill running down her spine at Baek Woo-jin’s growth power.

Although it is still far from enough, I had a premonition that with Baek Woo-jin’s current growth potential, he would grow to the point where he could compete with him in a short period of time.

“You, you bastard!”

“Baek Woo-jin!”

Yoon Woo-min, Baek Yeon-hwi, and Hwang Byeong-hoon were not interested in Baek Woo-jin’s growth. All that mattered was that he came back alive.

“I’m sure it’s you!”

“You man. really!”

“Woojin!”

The three people ran to Baek Woo-jin, not caring whether Baek Tian-hwa was in front of them or not.

“If not me, who else would it be?”

Baek Woo-jin made eye contact with the three people with a welcoming smile. Just by looking at their trembling eyes, he could tell how worried they were about him.

“What on earth happened!”

“Where have you been!”

“That’s later.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled softly and looked behind the three people.

“Ah….”

“Master! “I believed you would come back!”

“Master Tao!”

Moon Joo-young and the medical school’s eyes began to become wet like dewdrops on young leaves. Hong Ara couldn’t hold back and was the first to shed tears.

“Finally…”

“You’re back!”

Familiar faces and talented people at the front lines were also seen smiling with their lips quivering, unable to hold back their rising emotions.

Baek Woo-jin smiled and told them that he was okay and that he was back now, and turned his head to the right.

“Hmm…”

I saw my father. His eyes, which were filled with arrogance, twinkled with embarrassment that I had never seen before.

The black swordsman behind him was also swallowing dry saliva with a yellow complexion, as if he had witnessed something that should not have happened.

“Haa….”

Baek Woo-jin let out a deep sigh.

His father, his family member, was embarrassed by his return, and the talented people on the front lines, whom he had only met for a short time, were selflessly happy about his return. It was a truly funny situation.

-Looking at the situation, it seems like your father started it.

‘That’s only natural.’

This is the front line. If a battle had occurred here between the Baek Family and the frontline talent, it was obvious that the Baek Family would have taken the fight.

“What is happening?”

Baek Woo-jin looked at Baek Cheon-hwa and asked about the current situation. But his mouth did not open. He frowned as if he saw something he couldn’t see.

“The head of the Shingeombaek family brought this.”

Baek Yeon-hwi approached Baek Cheon-hwa, calling him not her father but the head of the Shingeombaek family, and handed over the documents she had received from Kim Jae-hwan to Baek Woo-jin.

“How long has it been since I disappeared?”

“It’s been a little over 5 months. “The head of the Baek family, who has been busy with construction, has never visited this place.”

“As expected.”

Baek Woo-jin laughed as he read the document.

-why? What is it about?

‘The story is that they came to look for Black Mok, taking advantage of the rule that treats a competent person as dead after 5 months of disappearance.’

– Are you saying that after reporting your death, they came to take the black tree that was considered your property?

‘Exactly.’

-You crazy guy!

The darkness trembled with its blade and glared at Baek Cheon-hwa. Now I was starting to doubt whether Baek Cheon-hwa was really Baek Woo-jin’s father.

-Is that really your father? profit!

If I had a body, I would have punched Baek Cheon-hwa in the face right away.

‘It hasn’t changed one bit.’

Baek Woo-jin chuckled. In a way, I admired him for being so consistent.

“I guess you were in a hurry.”

“There are less than 0.1% of cases where a talented person who goes missing comes back. “I just wanted to use the black neck you cut down to enrich this world.”

Baek Cheon-hwa’s eyes no longer wavered. If someone who didn’t know him saw him, he would have thought he had come to get the black neck for a great cause.

But Baek Woo-jin, who knew what kind of person he was, could only laugh.

“What a great idea. However, that doesn’t mean that what I said was urgent. “There are several things wrong with this document.”

“what?”

“First, the reason I went to the front was not because of the instructions of the head of the family, but because of my own will. That’s why it took a while to bet.”

Baek Woo-jin pointed to the bottom of the second document and continued.

“The second reason I cut off the black neck was not because the head of the family told me to, but because I wanted to protect this land and people.”

“Hmm…”

Baek Cheon-hwa couldn’t say anything, just glaring at the documents fluttering in Baek Woo-jin’s hand.

“I won the bet with the head of the family, so I gained the right to do whatever I wanted and acted according to my will. “You probably haven’t already developed dementia, so why did you write it down like this?”

“….”

At Baek Woo-jin’s words, there was a momentary silence. The black sword team trembled, and Baek Yeon-hwi and Hwang Byeong-hun opened their eyes.

“Uh…”

“Huh!”

I thought Baek Woo-jin would say something, but I didn’t expect him to say such strong words.

“I know that even if five months have passed since a competent person went missing, it rarely happens that they are immediately treated as dead. “A variety of steps are required to transfer property, but you filled them in with these fake documents.”

“….”

“Are you trying to get a black eye by going against what you said yourself?”

“You…”

Baek Cheon-hwa’s eyes sparkled with a vicious aura. The hand holding the sword began to tremble as if he was truly angry.

Coo coo coo coo.

A burning energy like hellfire radiated from Baek Chun-hwa’s whole body. Even the Black Swordsman behind Baek Chun-hwa was in a cold sweat and took a step back, but Baek Woo-jin did not back down.

“You haven’t changed at all.”

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes shined as he took the brunt of Baek Cheon-hwa’s momentum. He had already stepped into the world of absolute beings called giants.

‘I can finally see it now.’

Baek Cheon-hwa’s powerlessness, which he could not even feel as if it were obscured by fog, began to be clearly visible.

My father is still strong. Even if you become stronger, you cannot win. But I wasn’t afraid anymore. Now he and I were on the same mountain.

Cheeeeee!

As if recognizing Baek Woo-jin’s feelings, the female sword, who had met its owner for the first time in a long time, burst out with a beautiful sword.

-It looks like I raised my abilities while I was sleeping, but I can’t beat him yet.

‘I know. And there is no fighting here.’

The word dementia is not something you say without thinking. Baek Cheon-hwa said this with confidence that he would not move.

-what?

‘As you can see from the documents prepared like this, my father is not a simple person. ‘He is a person who moves by calculating both justification and gain and loss.’

During the Daeyeonmun incident, I was sure what kind of person Baek Cheon-hwa was. He is simple and does not move violently. He was a person who put a lot of planning and thought behind the scenes and then moved when it was most profitable.

-Well, definitely….

‘The plan my father made this time will only proceed without me. But when I showed up, the plan went to waste. We never fight here.’

The plan my father made today was made on the assumption that he would not show up. Because that family was broken, the battle could not take place.

Ttuduk.

Baek Cheon-hwa lifted the little finger of his right hand holding the sword and looked at Baek Woo-jin.

‘You appear at the worst moment…’

Baek Woo-jin returned alive, and a situation completely different from what he expected unfolded. I thought about processing it all, but there were too many eyes watching.

“They said they would guard this place until you came, and they were rotting away. “I just wanted to take the black tree that belongs to you and preserve it.”

Baek Woo-jin shook his head with a cool smile after hearing Baek Cheon-hwa’s words.

-Are you using that as an excuse?

‘That’s just what they say…’ The more I

listened to Baek Cheon-hwa, the more I felt grateful to the talented people on the front lines who thought of me, and the affection that had been as attached to Baek Cheon-hwa as dust fell away.

Baek Tian-hwa’s military power was still the strongest, but he began to look small.

“Black wood is an ingredient that no one has been able to obtain until now. “We are here for the day when you return…”

“That son came back alive after 5 months, but you don’t even ask me how I am.”

“Uhm…”

Baek Cheon-hwa couldn’t answer and just frowned. His expression seemed as if he was wondering what was important.

“Isn’t it okay that you came back safely? What’s important now is…”

“No.”

Baek Woo-jin shook his head, interrupting Baek Cheon-hwa.

“Actually, I didn’t think much of it, but thanks to what the matriarch said, I got an idea of what to do with the black neck.”

Baek Woo-jin slowly approached the black tree. Perhaps because a preservation spell had been applied, it was still solid and thick mana was flowing.

“First of all, I have to make a living too…”

Baek Woo-jin struck the black neck in the exact center with the dark sword. A loud scratch was heard and a large scratch appeared on the black neck.

“I will eat only half and give the rest to the heroes who fought together in the last battle.”

“Why are you sharing that?”

“If it weren’t for them, I would have died without being able to cut off the black neck. “And since you waited for me, of course I have to share it with you.”

“You idiot!”

“It doesn’t matter if you’re stupid. “I think that’s the right thing to do.”

Baek Woo-jin’s stern voice made the talented people at the front feel their hearts pounding.

“Ah…”

“As expected, he is different!”

“Woojin!”

The talented people at the front did not fight to share the black tree, nor did they wait for Baek Woo-jin to get the black tree.

I just did it because I thought it was the right thing to do, and I couldn’t help but be happy and touched that Baek Woo-jin, the person involved, recognized it.

“Because that old man is stubborn, no one can know the value of the black tree now. This is an ingredient that no one knows how amazing it will be! “Why are you handing it over to them?”

“You cannot carry a thousand swords or wear a thousand pieces of armor alone. “Having all the black heads is too greedy.”

“Even so, there’s no need to give half of it!”

“Do you remember the bet you made with me? At that time, the head of the family clearly told me to do whatever I wanted after winning the bet. “I will distribute half of the black tree to them as I wish.”

Baek Woo-jin did not avoid Baek Cheon-hwa’s eyes, which were burning like fire, and confidently declared his will.

“Are you also planning to follow the path of garbage?”

Baek Cheonhwa looked at Baek Yeonhui and frowned.

“I don’t think my eldest brother is trash. “I think he is one of the few people in the hundred families worth emulating.”

Baek Yeon-hwi’s eyes sank deeply at Baek Woo-jin’s sincere words, and Baek Cheon-hwa’s eyes harbored intense anger.

The father and son, who looked exactly alike but had completely opposite personalities, did not open their mouths any more. We looked into each other’s eyes for a long time, as if having a snowball fight.

Pudddeuk!

The sound of teeth grinding came out of Baek Cheon-hwa’s lips.

“…I’m going back.”

Baek Cheon-hwa turned around and gave an order to the Black Swordsman. The black sword holder put away his sword with a puzzled expression.

“You will regret what happened today.”

“I’ve heard it countless times, but I’ve never felt it.”

“….”

Baek Cheon-hwa looked straight at Baek Woo-jin with eyes as intense as lava exploding and left the forest, and the Black Sword Team followed behind in a hurry.

“I can see it now.”

Baek Woo-jin clenched his fists as he watched Baek Cheon-hwa’s disappearing back.

-Do you really feel like it’s worth it? not there yet.

‘okay. It’s a long way, but there’s nothing we can’t do.’

The red fog cleared and I could see how big the mountain called Baekcheonhwa was and what kind of sword intention he had.

Although it was a mountain much higher than me, I felt that there was nothing I couldn’t climb if I had the right determination.

“Thank you for trusting and waiting.”

Baek Woo-jin turned around and bowed his head to thank everyone who had waited for him.

“I’m back.”

Everyone who saw Baek Woo-jin laughed along with his bright smile.
