Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 301
“Thirty two…….”
Bop Jeong made a strange face on the stage.
“It turned out to be very different from what I initially thought.”
Shaolin’s Elder Bop Gye, who was standing beside him, gave a slightly uneasy expression at the words.
“To some extent, I expected that Wudang would not be able to exert much power. Wudang’s martial arts are the martial arts that matured with time (대기만성(大器晩成)/ Great Talent Mature Late), and the young disciples should not yet exert the power. So there must be a limit.”
“Um.”
Wudang and Shaolin martial arts have one thing in common: the more time it takes to learn, the more powerful it is.
As a result, people under the age of Yirip (below 30 years old), who did not have a long training period, did not often exert much force in comparison to other sects.
“And I thought Namgung and Peng Family would also stand out. Whatever anyone says, they are not lacking in any way as a sect that will lead the current Kangho.”
“That’s right.”
The Great Five Family and the Ten Great Sect.
They are the current Righteous Sect’s two pillars.
However, just because they share the same name does not imply that they are all the same.
The Ten Great Sect is similar to the situation in which the Southern Edge Sect and Beggar Union follow, focusing on Shaolin and Wudang. The Great Five Family is similar to the situation in which the Tang Family, focusing on Namgung and Peng Family, follows.
They expected to do well from the start of the tournament.
The issue is…
“As Southern Edge Sect collapsed, the balance completely tilted. The remaining disciples of the Ten Great Sect in the competition are barely over ten.”
“Eum.”
Bop Jeong let out a low voice.
Many people combine the Ten Great Sect and the Great Five Family to form the best of the world, but to be fair, the Ten Great Sect and the Great Five Family are not particularly close.
A sect leading with blood is different from a sect leading its members. Finally, they have no choice but to collide in large and small parts.
As a result, it was never pleasant to witness the Ten Great Sect’s weakness in comparison to the Great Five Family at the stage held by Shaolin.
“The disciples of the Ten Great Sect and the Great Five Family are almost twice as different. And there are four people who are neither of Ten Great Sect nor Great Five Family…..”
Bop Gye, who was speaking at the time, sighed deeply.
Only one place left does not belong to either the Ten Great Se or the Great Five Family.
“Mount Hua’s performance was frankly unexpected.”
In the remaining thirty-two participants, four Mount Hua disciples remain.
Mount Hua was the only one who left four disciples in the competition, so four may seem like a small number. Even the world-famous Shaolin Temple has only three practitioners left.
“What was their original assignment?” (Each sect has its own plaque. Mount Hua Sect was originally silver, but chung was granted gold after a complaint was acknowledged.)
“It was a silver plaque. It is said that Hye Bang, who received a complaint, arbitrarily gave them a gold plaque.”
Bop Jeong sighed, as if it were a lucky sigh.
“If it wasn’t for Hye Bang, we would have been humiliated.”
If Mount Hua had come to Shaolin with a silver plaque and achieved such a result, it is clear that the people at the competition would have pointed fingers at Shaolin for failing to recognize Mount Hua Sect’s power.
They would have been mocked for awarding a silver plaque to Mount Hua but a platinum plaque to a sect that was even worse than Mount Hua.
Bop Jeong was relieved to have avoided the embarrassment.
“It’s fortunate, but on the other hand, it’s unfair. Who thought Mount Hua would be this active before the competition began?”
“I see.”
Bop Jeong flashed a bright smile.
“Especially, that Chung Myung kid was amazing the more I saw him. Perhaps Hye Yeon will have a hard time.”
“Is it really that much? Of course, it was fantastic, but it was no match for Hye Yeon…….”
“He’s not all you’ve seen.”
Bop Jeong’s pupils constricted.
‘Perhaps what I saw isn’t everything, either.’
It’s an intriguing concept.
He can’t believe he can’t see the full depth of a child who has only lived half his life.
If Hye Yeon is a clear and pure stream that makes him feel good just by looking at it, Chung Myung was so deep that no one dared to look into it.
“The Heaven is sometimes relentlessly cold, but at the end of that coldness, it will surely give warmth. The child’s appearance in Mount Hua will not be irrelevant to the will of Heaven.”
Bop Jeong mumbled the name of Buddha.
Is anyone here willing to throw themselves away, believing in their spirit and practicing Justice (Righteousness)?
The voice of Southern Edge Sect’s Sect Leader suddenly entered his head, giving Bop Jeong some strength.
‘How can I don’t know?’
He can’t possibly be unaware.
It is said that Kangho is responsible for their existence.
They tried to ignore what was going on. They didn’t want to go back in time.
But Mount Hua eventually regained its former power and appeared before them. As if those who genuinely pursue their spirits would suffer but not perish.
(I think spirit here (and in the past) refers to the righteousness of Kangho. But anyway, this sentence is epic.)
As a result, every time he saw Mount Hua’s disciples, Bop Jeong felt prickly, as if a needle was piercing his heart.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Bop Jeong shook his head as he blew away various thoughts with a low chant.
“It appears that this competition is coming to an end. It would have been nice if it could have turned into a peaceful haven where we could get to know each other better.”
“Now we can finally see the end of this competition. In particular, Mount Hua will now be a sect that everyone knows in the world.”
“Hum.”
“Especially if that Chung Myung child makes it to the finals, the honor of the Ten Great Sect will hit rock bottom. Of course, the Great Five Family will have to blush in the meantime.”
“I suppose so.”
“And when that happens…….”
Bop Gye glanced at Bop Jeong’s face and lowered his gaze.
“We may have to undo the decisions we made in the past.”
“If that’s the case, then so be it.”
Bop Jeong chanted once more.
What Bop Gye says about the decision of the past is referring to Mount Hua who is expelled from the Ten Great Sect.
“However, we can’t decide such a thing with our rising stars alone.”
“That’s true, but…….”
“Yes, I know what you mean. It means we have to prepare in advance because it’s going to end up like that eventually.”
“Yes, Bangjang.”
The Return of Mount Hua Sect to the Ten Great Sect.
This was not a situation to be taken lightly. Perhaps it will be a major event that upsets Kangho’s power balance.
“If that’s the way it should go.”
Bop Jeong gave the nod.
“Anyway, let’s wait and see for a while longer. It won’t be too late to discuss it after the sparring competition is over.”
“Yes, Bangjang.”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Bop Jeong closed his eyes and closed his mind.
Bop Gye paused for a moment before quietly opening his mouth again rather than leaving the room.
“I’m a little jealous.”
“Hm?”
“Mount Hua is probably feeling as if flying right now. Thinking about it makes me have a stomachache.”
Bop Jeong smirked at the direct comment.
“It’s the reward of their efforts. Let’s just celebrate.”
“Yes, Bangjang.”
***
“So…….”
Hyun Jong spoke with a slightly clogged voice.
“Even our ancestors, at the news of our four disciples made it to 32 participants…….”
“Grrrr…….”
“Would be happy…….”
“Grrrrrrrrrr…….”
He came to a halt and looked at his disciples, stunned.
Everyone was staring at him as if he had walked out of a portrait gallery. And…
He swiveled his head to one side. Where the issue is.
Chung Myung is roaring like an angry hound in the composition, his limbs held by Baek Chun’s group.
‘What are you doing again?’
Hyun Jong exhaled heavily.
Even if he had to say something nice, it appeared that the disciples could not hear it. Despite many words of encouragement, Mount Hua’s disciples have soulless eyes and expressions of children with angry parents waiting behind them.
“Uh…….Keuhum.”
Hyun Jong coughed a lot.
“Then I’ll be back after a few discussions with the Elders, so you can rest…….”
“Sect Leader!”
“Where are you going, Sect Leader? Take us with you!”
“Don’t leave us alone! Sect Leader!”
The disciples, who were sitting in despair, erupted in a desperate response.
However, Hyun Jong raised his head slightly and turned away from his disciples’ gaze.
Of course, protecting these children now won’t be difficult, but it will happen eventually unless they keep that Mount Hua mad dog away.
It may be preferable to be beaten first; this may be the best way to deal with it quickly.
“Then, I’ll leave you alone.”
Mount Hua’s disciples exclaimed as Hyun Jong walked away.
“Sect Leadeeeeeer!”
“Where are you going, Sect Leader? Elder Hyun Sang! Great Senior Brother Unguuuuum!”
“Don’t leave us alone! Take us with you……! Please!”
But Hyun Jong disappeared without looking back like someone who had not heard their scream.
“…….”
The remaining disciples of Mount Hua slowly, very slowly turned their heads to one side.
Now it was time to face the demons.
“…is it refreshing?”
A voice that seems to have stuffed all the heartache and crooks that exist in the world comes out of the devil’s mouth.
“…is it refreshiiiiiing?”
Chung Myung twisted his body. Yoo Iseol and Yoon Jong, who was holding his arms, gently let go of him.
“Gold, jade, I taught you to blow them up, and but it’s all gone. Is it feel that goood?”
His eyes began to turn upside down.
Mount Hua’s disciples looked at Baek Chun urgently with tired faces.
‘Please do something, Sahyung!’
‘Look at that, that one! His eyes are turning!’
Back Chun, who received the earnest gaze, coughed loudly and opened his mouth.
“Chung Myung. Of course, they failed a few, but we still have most left. This is something to celebrate…….”
“Sasuk.”
“Yes?”
“If someone hears it, they’ll think Sasuk still advances with the competition.”
“…….”
“Don’t sneak around here and go where the losers are. If I breathe the same air, I’ll get defeated.”
“…….”
Baek Chun went helplessly to the place where the losers gathered and sat on his knees.
“Sahyung?”
“…what?”
“……No.”
Everyone who saw his pitiful eyes did not say anything and only swallowed their tears.
‘Poor thing.’
‘Why are there no exceptions in that bastard’s life?’
But whatever they were thinking, Chung Myung didn’t loosen his eyes.
“You’re all lost, losing to the Ten Great Sect! I can’t live because I’m so pissed off! I can’t afford to lose! You’re telling me you’ve got nowhere to lose but still lose to those Ten Great Sect bastards? I’m going to break all your nails! Put them all right there!”
“Excuse me!”
Then someone raised his hand and stood up.
“What?”
“But I was eliminated with Great Five Family as the opponent.”
“Sit down, if you don’t want to die.”
“Yes.”
The revolt was quickly suppressed.
“But…… I think we did a pretty good job, too.”
“What do you mean good job?”
“But Southern Edge Sect packed their bags and we’re…….”
“Ugh. That’s right.”
Chung Myung’s expression, which seemed to have been distorted like a ghost of a vicious evil spirit, melted away in an instant.
“Did you see those bastards go down with their luggage? Wow! That was a sight I’ll never forget for the rest of my life!”
“Their drooping shoulders!”
“They didn’t even look back!”
“That’s right, yes! They didn’t even look back!”
The Sahyung did not miss the opportunity and responded eagerly. This is because they know from experience that they need to let him feel better to get hit, even just one.
Baek Chun, who was looking at the atmosphere, also responded.
“Isn’t that perfect for a portrait book?”
“Right, we almost got a portrait of Sasuk’s parent.”
“…….”
And he regretted it right away. He should’ve stayed still.
The fire that was about to be extinguished was sparked again for no reason.
“You’re Daesahyung but you can’t even make it to big 32? Even though everyone else is fine, you’re almost losing half of your hands alone? I’m so pissed off! Ouch!”
When Chung Myung screamed and tried to jump at Baek Chun, Yoon Jong and Jo Gol rushed to his limbs and held him.
“Hang in there, Chung Myung! It’s Sasuk! It’s your Sasuk!”
“You’re injured! Do so after you get better!”
Baek Chun, who was robbed of his soul in an instant, stumbled with a pale face, and Baek Sang, who was next to him, held his shoulder and smiled.
“Sahyung, I understand that feeling.”
“… Don’t understand, you punk.”
Baek Chun just wanted to cry alone.
Chung Myung growled and glared at the disciples of Mount Hua.
‘You can’t do this!’
In fact, except for Baek Chun’s group, the rest of the disciples did not spend much time training with Chung Myung. Even the talent they have isn’t very high. It would be great just to bring them here.
For example, don’t other sects not understand Mount Hua’s propaganda?
If the disciples who have been eliminated this time continue to grow as they are, they can go up to the point where they will slap the one who defeated them with their toes.
But Chung Myung could never be satisfied here.
‘It’s very upsetting.’
What would Sahyung in Heaven say about this result?
– Kikikik. You don’t seem to have the talent to teach either.
“Aaaaarrghhh! I will just go to get that old man!”
Yoon Jong hurriedly grabbed Chung Myung who, after seemingly calming down for a moment, started glaring furiously again.
“Please keep your manner, Chung Myung!”
“Get a hold of yourself. Wake up!”
Chung Myung clenched his teeth and looked at the three who overpowered him.
Coincidentally, the four in the left 32 are in one place.
“There is no defeat for Mount Hua now!”
“…….”
“If all four of us don’t make it to the semifinal, we’re all crawling all the way to Mount Hua! Okay? Especially if you lose to Ten Great Sect, I’m going to train you all the way to Mount Hua, so try losing! Just see what will happen!”
Baek Chun, who was looking at Chung Myung, who began to tremble, asked Baek Sang, who was squatting next to him.
“Who’s his next opponent?”
“……Namgung Dohui from Namgung Family.”
“…… he’s a goner.”
“Is that so?”
Baek Chun closed his eyes and sincerely prayed for Namgung Dohui’s repose.
Of course, at the same time, his own well-being is also included.
