Chapter 56: The Lazy Man, Examined (2)

Oh my god!

The sword was clearly different from before.

Just a moment ago, Eonhyo, who had experienced his sword, unconsciously shouted, “It’s unfair!” It was so fast and sharp. Eonhyo, who did not have good feelings toward Wi Yeonho, could clearly see the will of Cheonggongja to bring down Wi Yeonho in his sword, as much as he could talk about the unfairness.

Hana Wiyeonho opened her eyes blankly and just stared at Cheonggongja's sword.

Choaaaah!

The sword energy released by the Qinggongja flew towards Wei Yanhu’s face. The sound of the air being cut through pierced through his ears.

“Me, me!”

At that moment, everyone who was watching the stage opened their eyes wide in shock.

Those with low martial arts skills watched the situation without knowing anything, and those who knew the meaning of the sword that the Qinggongja had just unleashed were all surprised and jumped up from their seats.

That sword wasn't one that could be used against the later index.

The body of the volcano's long-legged friend, Cheongyeongja, flinched for a moment.

'No way.'

No matter how angry he was, Cheonggongja was not the type of person to try to cut off the throat of the late Jisoo in a place like this. At that moment, his legs tightened, but Cheonggongja desperately held his legs back.

At this moment, if he were to barge into the examination room, the reputation of the examiner would completely fall, and the authority of the volcano would also fall.

During the brief moment when the black energy reached Wi Yeon-ho, numerous complex thoughts tangled in Cheong Yeong-ja's head.

And Wei Yanho, the one who was being attacked, opened his mouth wide as he saw the sword energy of incredible power flying towards his face. He was so surprised that he couldn't even move his hand holding the sword.

Wei Yanho's mouth, which had been slowly opening, opened wide.

After that… … .

“Haaaaaah!”

As Wei Yanho yawned and shed tears, the black energy changed direction and passed by Wei Yanho’s face.

“Aum.”

Wi Yeon-ho wiped away the tears that were flowing with his sleeve.

'Are you yawning?'

The Qing dynasty could not understand this man's mental state at all.

Dodge the sword?

That could be the case.

It was a single sword that was thrown to startle him from the beginning. He had no intention of hurting Wei Yanhu. It was a sword that was meant to pass by him on its own after he was slightly startled.

So, even if you are startled by the flying sword and your body freezes, you can naturally dodge it. But… … .

'You're yawning?'

What is a yawn?

When a person's body is at the peak of drowsiness, isn't yawning the act of sucking in air to wake up? But why would you yawn when the black aura of the Qing Emperor is flying right in front of your face?

'What on earth happened to that guy?'

The Qing dynasty could not understand the thing in front of them at all.

Are you fearless, or are you just so stupid that you can't figure out what's going on?

What if not?

'Absolute master?'

The prince laughed.

As he met such absurd people, even his thoughts became more absurd.

However, Wei Yanho yawned with a calm expression, not knowing whether he knew the prince's feelings or not.

Crackle.

A vein appeared on the prince's forehead.

“I don’t know if it was your skill or luck, but I commend you for not being frightened by my sword.”

At the words of the Qing Duke, Wei Yanhu slowly nodded and opened his mouth.

“Then does that mean I passed?”

"huh?"

The prince spoke as if it was absurd.

“It’s only been a second and I passed?”

Although the Qing Duke did not understand what Wei Yanhu was saying, Wei Yanhu asked him back as if asking what he was talking about.

“You didn’t pass?”

“You’re saying the obvious. If you want to pass, you have to get this extra second from me.”

"under?"

Wi Yeon-ho glared.

“I’ve heard countless times that Hwasan is fair and just, but I can tell for sure that those words are all lies. They say that there is no one in the world that you can trust, no, not a single sect that you can trust, but I never thought that Hwasan, one of the old sects, would change his words like this.”

“Wh, what are you talking about, you punk!”

The prince's face turned red.

It was the volcano, not the individual, that came out. If it was an insult to him, I could laugh it off, but insulting the volcano was something I could never tolerate.

“Shouldn’t the judging be fair?”

“Yes. Are you saying I wasn’t fair?”

"yes."

“Why? Because I struck you hard? That’s why!”

"no."

Wi Yeon-ho cut off Cheonggongja's words cleanly and opened his mouth.

“It’s not because I attacked too hard. Of course, I feel a bit emotional there, so I’m a bit nervous, but I’m broad-minded, so I can fully understand that. My master said that the hardest thing is to unleash a sword of the same power multiple times.”

Why is it difficult to continue to use a sword of the same power?

Isn't that the easiest thing?

For a moment, I had doubts, but now was not the time to consider such things. Wi Yeon-ho began to explain again.

“The problem is that different evaluations are taking place in the same situation. Isn’t this discrimination? Or is it that they are giving them a favor because they are students of a prestigious school?”

“You’re just looking at me!”

The prince's eyes opened wide as if they were going to tear apart.

Although he is not at the level of fighting with a sword in a volcano, he has lived his whole life boasting of fairness. However, Wi Yeon-ho's words now are denying the foundation of his life.

“What difference does it make? If you can’t convince me, I’ll hold you accountable myself.”

As the situation became increasingly unstable, the volcano's long-legged leader, Cheongyeongja, let out a sigh.

‘What is this in just the preliminaries… … .’

The atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense. Many people were watching, wondering what the outcome of the argument between Cheonggongja and Wi Yeonho would be.

“……That guy is real.”

Wi Jeong-han covered his face.

He missed the opportunity to intervene. If he were to intervene now, it would be an insult to the Qing Emperor. Like it or not, he had no choice but to wait and see how the conclusion would be reached.

“What’s the problem!”

As the Qing prince raised his voice, Wei Yanhu shrugged his shoulders.

“Can you see him?”

"huh?"

Wi Yeon-ho's fingertips pointed to Eon-hyo, who had passed the examination right in front of him. The prince who saw Eon-hyo tilted his head, and Eon-hyo looked at Wi Yeon-ho with a pale face.

'No! Why am I hanging on again!'

The young man asked as if he couldn't understand.

“Did that kid cause any trouble?”

“No, you did well. But you know.”

Wi Yeon-ho snapped his fingers.

“He didn’t get another second because he dodged a blow that was above the standard for judging, but why do I have to get another second for dodging that sword? If you don’t have slits in your eyes, you should be able to tell that the move I took was more powerful than the one he dodged.”

Unhyo nodded without realizing it.

'That's true.'

If the blow that Eonhyo received was like a stream, the blow that Wiyeonho received was like a river. It was a different dimension and level.

“No, that’s not it!”

For a moment, the Qing prince felt speechless.

The moment he says, "I intentionally increased my power to scare you, but I didn't intend for it to touch you in the first place, so I didn't avoid it," he becomes someone who persecuted the person being judged because of personal feelings in the examination room.

'Oops!'

The face of the blue dragon looked slightly tired.

Of course, others may have guessed the situation, but guessing and saying it out loud were two completely different things. That's just how the world is. It's common for things that are passed over as being that way to suddenly change the situation the moment the issue is formally raised.

The Qing prince now realized that he was trapped.

Here, there are those who say that the blow was an emotional blow and that the judging should continue, and those who say that Wi Yeon-ho dodged it well and that there is no need for further judging.

Which one should I choose?

“Well, of course you dodged my blow. You dodged it, but…….”

Cold sweat began to run down the prince's forehead.

It seemed like everyone was looking at his mouth. Even though the judging was taking place in another training ground, not here, no one was looking anywhere else.

Even the elders watching the judging from the side stage are glancing at him, and on the other side… … .

'Okay, Jang Moon-in.'

Cheongyeong, the long-legged volcano, was glaring at him with a ghostly face.

Depending on what you say here, people will have different opinions about the place called Hwasan.

“……Yeah, I avoided it.”

The prince swallowed his tears.

It is the most shameful thing for a judge to be unfair. Especially if it is said that he, who is putting the name of the volcano on the line, was unfair in his judging, the repercussions will be more than he can handle.

The prince slumped his shoulders and opened his mouth.

“But… can’t you just try one more move?”

Still, the reason why it cannot be passed.

Here, he passed Wei Yan-ho, but if Wei Yan-ho advances to the main competition and fails miserably, it will be said that the judging criteria for the preliminary round was wrong.

A dilemma.

It was a situation where I couldn't do this or that.

“What second?”

“That’s right. If you can hold me off for just one more second, I’ll let you through right away.”

Wi Yeon-ho turned his head slightly and looked at Wi Jeong-han.

“Father.”

Why is this guy calling me again?

Wi Jeong-han, who clearly sensed that Wi Yeon-ho was trying to drag him into causing trouble, answered in a trembling voice.

“……Why, why, you punk?”

“You need to try harder.”

“Huh?”

Wi Yeon-ho sighed deeply.

“Jinjueonga lets you pass even if you block it for just one second, but Guangdongwiga has to go through more screening even if you block something stronger. This is because my father has been playing around all this time and has not been able to build up his reputation.”

“…….”

Wi Jeong-han became a mute who had eaten honey.

What on earth am I supposed to say in this situation?

No matter what you say, it's bound to be a volcano and hurt feelings. It's work… … .

'No, thinking about it makes me mad?'

Wi Yeon-ho's words were not wrong. Why is it that Eon-hyo can pass just by receiving that, but my child has to go through more evaluations after receiving something like that?

'He's a guy who doesn't even need to be judged in the first place!'

Wi Jeong-han was always anxious and dissatisfied with Wi Yeon-ho, but that was when he was in the family. When he realized that his proud son was being ignored by another man, Wi Jeong-han's face turned into a stern expression like a blade.

“It was my fault that I put you through this.”

"are you okay."

“I will watch closely from here to see how fair the sword of the volcano is. As the head of the Guangdong Wei family, not as the leader of the Jeongmu Alliance, I will watch the response of the volcano. You, please submit to the examination.”

Wi Yeon-ho drew his sword and raised it.

“The Wei Yanhu of the Guangdong Wei family listens to the words of the family head.”

The air in the room began to cool down.

As the situation began to degenerate into a battle of pride between the Hwasan and Guangdong factions, the people watched the situation with interest.

I wonder how the blue dragon will come out of this.

Cheonggongja, who had been quietly looking at Wi Yeonho and Wi Jeonghan, slowly opened his mouth.
