Becoming the Swordmaster Rank Young Lord of the Sichuan Tang Family Chapter 22

Episode 22

“Wonjin.”

“ah. Did you come? You worked hard. What about the guys? I think it was said that No. 25 has excellent intelligence and No. 26 shows talent in esoteric arts. No. 27 is said to be expert in not only dragon poisoning, but also poison making.”

“That’s right. “Exactly.”

At Tang Wonjin’s words, the Bongguardae warrior who called him nodded. Since Dang Won-jin was mainly in charge of Boy No. 28, the soldiers of the guard unit, excluding Dang Won-jin, took turns in charge of the other Group 7 members.

The warriors of the Bongguardae visited the cliff Donghyeol where Nos. 25, 26, and 27 were located once every 10 days, and each time they checked to see if they were alive and gave them martial arts stipends appropriate to their level or gave them brief lessons. In fact, trials using wild beasts are only threatening in the beginning, and if they manage to withstand it somehow, the participants will quickly become stronger, so there was a decision made to push them by force.

just as expected. Boys and girls who were threatened by wild beasts longed for a means to become stronger in order to survive more than any other time, and very quickly digested the lessons and teachings that were thrown at them.

In particular, Group 7 could be seen as having worse conditions than other groups. Originally, the four of us were supposed to have endured the ordeal, but because Jeon Jeon-myeong was absent on the day, only the three of us had to go through it. To be honest, the soldiers of the guard unit in charge of the bridgehead thought they might all die before the first 10 days. In fact, according to what I heard from Zhuge Changxin as time passed, in other groups, four people died one by one even when they were intact.

Therefore, the warriors of the Bongguardae, the bridgehead, highly evaluated Nos. 25, 26, and 27. Although they pale in comparison to Boy No. 28, they were also outstanding talents. I could tell just by looking at the speed at which I was getting stronger.

‘But that should also be seen as the influence of No. 28.’

I was able to understand what the Bongguardae warrior taught me personally. The boys and girls of Group 7 were implicitly targeting Boy No. 28. Is it because they are the same age? It seemed that the boy, who had already reached a very high level, was viewed as someone he could catch up with. The spirit of improvement that came from that was rapidly improving the skills of Group 7 members.

The guard warrior said after shaking off his thoughts.

“They said they would take the test this time.”

“oh. at las?”

“These are guys who have become close friends over the years. “Seeing as they said they would take the exam at the same time on one day, everyone must be confident that they will pass.”

“It’s never too late.”

“Isn’t this inevitable? “They will think that the level of the test is the same as what No. 28 took.”

The guard warrior laughed. Although the development of a sense of energy was essential for passing the test, the cliff trials involving wild beasts initially had several goals. The goal is to instill awareness that this competition is not a joke, to provide an opportunity to check each other’s skills and be stimulated, and to gain practical experience even though it is not a peer-to-peer competition.

Although the participants were competitors fighting for the top spot in Sogaju, in the long run, since they were members of the same family, the purpose was to create a certain level of solidarity.

Secondly, we aimed to naturally develop physical abilities such as strength through living in Donghyeol, located high on a cliff. The fulfillment of divine law could have deepened.

Anyway, Group 7 has improved its skills quickly.

After only a little over a month, in the eyes of the guards, he already had the courage to pass the test. All of Article 7.

However, no one in Group 7 showed any intention to take the test. Until half a year has passed.

There was a ‘minor’ misunderstanding here.

The first time, No. 28, when Yeon Myeong took the exam saying he would go back to the manor right away. The warriors of the Bong Guard took the boy seriously and greatly increased the difficulty of the test. The original test level was not that high. Anyway, Yeon Myeong passed the test without much difficulty, and the remaining boys and girls in Group 7 completely misunderstood the level of the test.

Of course, the guards’ warriors noticed that fact, but they did not bother to mention it. Although it was due to an illusion, the 7th group’s desire to improve was at a considerable level, and they judged that there was nothing bad about it as long as it was beneficial to themselves and the party.

And only now, half a year later, have the remaining Group 7 members said they will take the exam.

Everyone will probably pass through it easily and feel dejected again.

I was a guard warrior who couldn’t help but smile when I thought about the people who were being treated unfairly.

“Then, without further delay, let’s take the test tomorrow. “I will tell Zhuge Muin.”

“I understand. Wonjin.”

“I’m really looking forward to seeing their faces.”

Party Wonjin also let out a similar laugh as the man he was facing. This was because she had an intuition that she could experience the fun of being a bridge that could not be experienced in No. 28.

“The more I think about it, the more absurd it is. That was just a test…? “Then why did we go through all that trouble and live in a cave…?”

At the back of the procession following Zhuge Changxin, there was a girl with a pale complexion who was murmuring. Dang Mi-ryeo, the girl called No. 26 here.

“Isn’t that right, Yuri? Why did we skin the animals in the dew of the night without even being able to wash them properly? A test to return to the manor. Of course, it was because I wasn’t confident that I could pass the test he took.”

“…….”

“But what is this? What kind of test is this? Did you see it before? Catching all the rain with one hand. You were just asking for that level of spirit…? “Am I the only one who feels like I got screwed?”

“…I guess they didn’t tell you on purpose. “Even though we know we are mistaken.”

No. 25, Tang Yuli replied while biting her lip slightly. Tang Yuri thought about the past few months. After struggling to survive the first wolf attack, she tried to become stronger by reading and reflecting on the secrets and teachings that were thrown to her one by one over and over again. A noble man in his own right, he did chores without hesitating to get his hands bloodied, caressing the skins of animals, sleeping on the cold stone floor, and getting calluses on his palms.

Of course, in the meantime, we became close friends as we shared the joys and sorrows of Tang Mi-ryeo and Tang Yi-jeon, and our martial achievements deepened to a level that was unbelievable even when we thought about it ourselves, but I couldn’t help but feel that I had been defeated. Because it was a few more months of hardship that I didn’t have to endure.

However, Tang Yu-ri did not openly complain like Tang Mi-ryeo. In fact, the delay in taking the exam was due to Tang Yu-ri’s own fault.

Among the three, Tang Yu-ri was the least skilled.

Tang Mi-ryeo and Tang Yi-jeon had already developed enough sense of spirit to be able to take the exam less than a month ago. However, out of loyalty, he waited until Tang Yuri developed skills. It was obvious that if Tang Yu-ri was left alone in the cliff cave, the conditions would be harsher than if there were three of them.

“Relocation of the party. Why are you quiet? Aren’t you even angry? “How many more months have you gone through hardships that you shouldn’t have had to endure?”

“…I don’t think it was bad. It was also a great benefit to learn secret techniques properly from you. You even made and used completely new poisons yourself, right? “My dragon poisoning skills have also improved a lot… More than anything, I consider it a luxury to be able to spend time with and close to pretty girls like you.”

“hmm. okay…?”

It was Dang Mi-ryeo who seemed a little softened by Dang Yi-jeon’s words.

While they were talking like that, the scenery changed again according to Zhuge Changxin’s hand gesture, and a small manor appeared.

They finally arrived at the place where they were provided with the comfortable bed and proper meal they had been longing for.

****

‘Has it been half a year?’

Yeon Yeom-myeong thought as he sensed the changes in the formation surrounding the outside of the manor. Thanks to my senses, I can now remember everything that happens around the manor without even being conscious of it. I have always sharpened my senses like a knife. Now, I have entered a realm where anyone can call me an expert. Of course, no one knew that Yeon Myeong had reached such a state.

In addition to Zhuge Changsin and other warriors of the defense force, there were three more new figures. I knew who they were without having to say anything. Group 7 must have passed the test.

‘I’m glad everyone is alive…’

The boy, who had heard such thoughts from party members who had heard that some groups had dead participants, was a little surprised. Now, was he concerned about the well-being of others? He was unfamiliar with himself. Aren’t Tang Yi-jeon, Tang Yu-ri, and Tang Mi-ryeo just peers who had traveled together to this point?

Yeon Myeong fully predicted that his absence would make the remaining Group 7 go through a more difficult ordeal. So it wasn’t a feeling of relief that came from guilt or anything like that. Even if I went back in time, I would make the same decision.

A chance at life again.

Because I prioritized having the ‘minimum strength’ above all else in order to live a normal life without being influenced by anyone.

‘…is this also a normal feeling?’

In the end, Yeon Myeong decided to accept this unfamiliar feeling rather than ignore it. I started a family and had someone to call my mother. Bongwidae and Group 7 could also be said to be people connected by small ties.

The situation is different in many ways from his previous life, when the only person he knew was his master. Once again, relationships with others became a very difficult task. How should we treat them?

‘That’s difficult.’

The boy felt the need to redefine the categories of ordinary life. It was not a solution to just live in peace, protecting only her mother, Dokbongdang Ji-hye, and herself. If I win the competition and become the head of Soga, if I get to take over the Bongwidae as a subordinate, and if I become friends with the boys and girls of Group 7…

At that time, won’t the things that need to be protected increase several times?

Even after a short period of time, there were already many people who were somehow involved. There would be many more things like that in the future, and there was a possibility that some of them could become someone as precious as Tang Ji-hye.

‘There’s no need to come to a conclusion now.’

The boy quickly gave up his thoughts. If you become entangled, living as you become entangled will be a normal life. I had no intention of avoiding or turning away from that entanglement.

A life of making precious things and protecting precious things like others in the midst of entanglement⎯ Because that was the ordinary life that the boy thought of.

After making up his mind like that, the boy got up from his seat and went out to greet the faces he hadn’t seen in a long time.

It was an afternoon when the sunlight that fell just in time warmed the boy’s face.
