Nano Machine c 121 to 130

 Chapter 121 Chapter 121: Completing the Sword Force of the Sky Demon (3) In the middle of the room, there was last blue pearl stone pedestal standing proudly. Yeowun walked up excitedly to the front of the stone. Just like other stones on the lower floors, there was poetry that hid the breathing points. ‘Nano, scan it.’ [Yes, Master.] After scanning the front side, Yeowun walked to the back. And when he got the back, he almost screamed in shock. ‘W-what is this?!’ He had expected to see many sword markings on the back, but there were no marks of whatsoever. There were no markings of the counter sword skill, nor the marking of the Sword Force of the Sky Demon. Instead, there was just a small hole in the middle. ‘Why isn’t there anything here?’ It would be more understandable if there was intentional damage left on the stone, but it was strange that there was nothing. Yeowun looked at the stone, not understanding what was going on. ‘Was this because Father Chun Ma didn’t leave anything that there was no counter sword skill either?’ That was the only likely conclusion for this. After thinking about it for a while, Yeowun frowned and asked Nano, ‘Nano, do you see any sword markings here?’ [Sword markings were left, most likely from one person.] ‘What? There is? Where?’ [Activating augmented reality over the user’s sight.] With Yeowun’s eyes shaking, white lines were drawn over his sight. [Zooming in on the target.] With Nano’s words, part of the backside was zoomed in on. It was the part where there was a very small hole. ‘W-what?!’ When the hole was zoomed in to about the size of a head, Yeowun was shocked. He didn’t know until then, but when it zoomed in, he saw very small markings that made the small hole. The marks were equally distanced, with twenty-four of them. ‘These markings… is this from Sword Force of the Sky Demon?’ If one who saw it casually, it was a mere hole. But the location was where the sword would hit if the Sword Force of the Sky Demon was used. When the twenty-four sword movements were used in the same direction, it could hit the blood point in a circle, but if it was to hit the same spot like this, it only was possible when collecting all movements into one. ‘Can I use the sword movement like this? Wait, if then…’ Yeowun then went up to the front. He didn’t know at first, but the hole had penetrated the entire stone. ‘Nano, zoom in here.’ [Yes, Master.] As expected, the hole had twenty-four sword markings left around it. It only made this small hole because the attack didn’t wield energy. ‘How can this be?’ Yeowun then realized the secret to this sword formation. This marking was a result of a sword formation being gathered into one powerful move that exploded through. If the attack wielded any kind of energy, then it would have shattered the blue pearl stone. ‘Was Father Chun Ma really a human?’ He thought he understood a lot of about sword after becoming superior warrior, but this was beyond what any swordsman would think of. Father Chun Ma had created a supreme sword formation that could be used as an attack or defense by collecting all sword movements into one. How could one counter such a powerful attack? The reason why there were no counter sword movements on this stone was because there was no way to counter this. ‘He unified the sword into one. It is certain that such power will result if the sword’s will is collected into such a unified manner.’ This was the last secret hidden behind the last formation of the Sword Force of the Sky Demon. And when he understood this, something unexpected happened. Yeowun was sent into a trance. ‘Focus on unifying the sword’s will. Collect it into one will… gathering into one place…’ Sometimes, understanding came at unexpected moments. The last formation of the Sword Force of the Sky Demon contained the very truth of the sword that Father Chun Ma had realized during his latter years. Understanding at least a bit of this had allowed the body to break the shell around it to move up. Yeowun slumped down on the ground and began to meditate. As he entered a trance, a vibrant light began to shine out from him in every color and powerful energy shot out from him, causing a rush of wind across the room. Books fell down and it caused a ruckus. “W-what?! What is going on?!” The grandmaster level warrior, Gamgung, who guarded the fifth floor, was shocked and looked at Yeowun. The way he was shining in vibrant light meant that Yeowun had earned a great understanding and was moving up into a higher level. “What is going…” “Quiet!” As two other warriors who guarded the fifth floor ran up toward the stone, Gamgung told them to be quiet. If they were to disrupt Yeowun, then it was going to destroy his understanding and endanger him into falling into corruption. [Defensive formation!] Gamgung sent a telepathic message and three of them stood around in triangle formation around Yeowun to help him. All of them were shocked since they knew what that vibrant color of light meant. ‘Five qi unification!’ The last stage of the superior level was the five qi unification. When Yeowun reached the supreme level, he had achieved the state of the ThreePoint Spirit that gave him the power to use the spirit of the human body, making him more powerful. But that was only half of what a superior warrior should do. It was only when he unified the five energies within him into one that he would reach the true superior level. After about an hour, the light stopped shining from Yeowun and turned into one bright white light and began to shake his body. His bones and muscles were reconstructing. After trembling for about ten minutes, his body began to show different phenomena. ‘What!’ As his face skin began to crack faintly, the three warriors became shocked. They all knew what this supposed to mean. ‘Body reconstruction!!’ They were dumbfounded and speechless. They never imagined they would see a body reconstruction with their own eyes. The cracks began to spread all over Yeowun’s body. It was as if he would shatter even with a slight touch. It was then that Yeowun moved and entire cracks shattered and turned to dust to disappear. The energy wind that blew began to calm down and Yeowun opened his eyes. His energy was well organized and there was no way for even Lee Hameng to recognize Yeowun’s energy anymore. Yeowun was able to understand what had happened to him. ‘I… achieved the end stage of the superior level!’ Chapter 122 Chapter 122: Completing the Sword Force of the Sky Demon (4) ‘It’s the first time I understood the sword formation without having it transferred into my brain.’ This was another feat for Chun Yeowun. Three warriors walked up to Chun Yeowun, astounded from his achievement. Three of them all bowed and congratulated Yeowun for his feat. “Master Chun, congratulations on your understanding!” “Congratulations!” “Thank you. Thank you.” Yeowun became thankful for them to stand guard while he was in a trance and bowed politely to each of them. Their eyes had envy and admiration in them. They had barely gotten to the grandmaster level at the age of forty, but Yeowun had gone through bodily reconstruction even before turning twenty. ‘Oh… if he is now at the superior level…’ Gamgung’s eyes shook. This meant that Yeowun had the right to take the sixth test. There were no cadets who became superior warriors in the last seventy years of the academy. ‘Am I seeing the birth of the new leader of the cult?’ If he passed the sixth test, then Yeowun was going to be a new elder. He had a chance to become the top official of the Demonic Cult, one of three powerful forces out of the entire Wulin. But even if he doesn’t pass the test, he was still a superior warrior that will be respected as such, meaning he was likely to rise in power anyway. ‘Nano, how long have I been in a trance?’ [It has been over two hours, Master.] Yeowun was relieved. He was on the last floor of the library that contained the strongest and most powerful martial arts books. He wanted to scan them when he could. He still had four more hours, so it was enough. ‘Oh.’ But there was a problem. “…I’m sorry. I made a mess in this place.” From all the decorations to the books, all of them were thrown to the ground and scattered. Gamgung shook his head at Yeowun and answered, “Don’t mind it, Master Chun. Who cares about little mess when you had made a great achievement?” But Gamgung and the other warriors were certain that they were worried about books. They then ran to the books dropped to the ground to check if there wasn’t any damage. The decorations weren’t a concern, but these books were valuable treasures. ‘Good.’ As they went over to check on the books, Yeowun turned back to the blue pearl stone pedestal. It was hard to see with regular eyes, and looked like a regular hole if one did not know about the Sword Force of the Sky Demon. But there was no need to leave a trace. Yeowun brought up a slight force qi over his finger. It looked simple, but controlling force qi like this in detail required one to be at the superior level. Yeowun then dabbed on the hole with his finger, and the sword marking was crushed through as he rubbed his finger over it. ‘There we go.’ Yeowun had no intention to share the Sword Force of the Sky Demon to others. If it wasn’t for the library to be in mess, it would not given him time to do this, but he was lucky. After checking on every book to see if they were okay, Gamgung allowed Yeowun to look over the books while time remained. The candle had been put out from the wind, but Yeowun was able to check the time through Nano, so it didn’t matter. ‘I just need to scan nineteen books.’ That only required about thirty minutes. Yeowun then went over to the books. Other than the Butterfly Blade Dance, what caught his attention the most were the books from the six clans. The reason why he wanted to take a look at this was because the leaders of those six clans had reached the superior level through those martial arts. Crazy Spirit Sword from the Sword Clan. Loyal Demon Fist from the Loyal Clan. Wise Flow Palm of the Wise Clan. Sound Wave of Destruction from the Lust Clan. Poison Demon Art from the Poison Clan. Blade of Illusion from the Blade Clan. It was likely that these martial arts weren’t the best that these clans had. But they couldn’t put weak martial arts on this floor of the library either, so it was certain that these were one of the top martial arts in the cult. Considering that the Butterfly Blade Dance was here, then it was likely that Left Guardian Lee Hameng’s martial arts were here too. ‘Red Fire Sword… is this it?’ The name suited his fiery red hair. Among these, there was one book that wasn’t a martial arts book. Step of the Wind God. Yeowun flipped through the pages, and checked the book that it was a book about walking and running skills. Who was the one that donated this book while others were busy presenting the powerful martial arts books? ‘Step of the Wind God? What a grand name.’ If the running skill were to be placed on the fifth floor, then it would surely be a very powerful skill. Yeowun did not know any powerful running skills, so he thought it was good that he saw this. ‘Nano, scan this.’ [Yes, Master.] Yeowun’s eyes shook and he scanned through all pages. It didn’t take thirty minutes to scan a total of nineteen books. Yeowun was finally able to achieve his goal of scanning through as many books as possible within the library. He was now a walking martial arts library. “Huh? Are you going down already?” One of the warriors at the exit of the fifth floor became curious and asked. It hadn’t been much time since Yeowun started looking at the book, so it was weird that he was going down already. “I’ve looked over enough.” “Huh? Uh…” Yeowun had scanned every book so he did look at it enough, but this sounded like Yeowun did not find any books that matched his power to the warrior. It might have sounded very arrogant, but it was something a powerful warrior like Yeowun could say. “Yes, sir.” Chapter 123 Chapter 123: Completing the Sword Force of the Sky Demon (5) When Yeowun got out of the library, it was completely dark. The winter made the sun to go down much faster. The instructor outside the library, who was ready to stay late, was happy to see Yeowun coming down so early. As Yeowun returned the candle, he thought of something he forgot. ‘Please tell us where you are going, so we won’t be worried!’ It was something Hu Bong told him a long time ago. He had forgotten about it completely as he was too into going to see the fifth formation of the Sword Force of the Sky Demon. It was possible that his members would be looking after him through the academy. It was even more so when Mun Ku and Hu Bong were ambushed. ‘Where will they be?’ Yeowun then walked down toward the private training room building and saw two people in the dark alleyway. “Hu Bong?’ It was Hu Bong and Jin Guuk. Yeowun found them before they ran around looking for them. They too had found Yeowun coming down from the library and came running after. “Maaaaaasterr!” ‘Ugh, here we go again.’ But the reaction was different than what he expected. “Congratulations on passing the fifth test!” “M-master! Congratulations!” They heard from somewhere that Yeowun had passed the fifth test. His members actually did not run around looking for him when he went missing after passing the test. There were only two places that cadets who passed the test might go. One was the training room and another was the library. They immediately went to the library and asked if Chun Yeowun had come here, and was told that he was on the fifth floor. This allowed his members to know that Yeowun had passed the test. But they were still worried just in case, so they waited in turn in front of the training room, which might be Yeowun’s next destination. ‘Hmm. They’ve gotten smarter.’ They were now adjusting to their master. If Yeowun had not thought of his members, he surely would have gone to the training room to absorb the black dragon ball. ‘Oh.’ He then thought it was good timing to give something that he intended to give to his members. Yeowun told Hu Bong and Jin Guk to gather others and come to his room. “To your room?” “Yeah.” They were curious, but split to call upon others. After about an hour, all fifteen cadets gathered in Yeowun’s room. While they were waiting for the last one, or Bakgi to come, they all congratulated Yeowun on passing the fifth test. “Master, did you hear?” “Prince, you heard that too, right?” Ko Wanghur and Mun Ku asked if Yeowun had heard about the creepy sound within the cave, and Hou Sangwha who had not taken the test yet became frightened. “C-can we stop talking about that now? There’s no such thing as monsters in the world.” “…Huh? Are you afraid of a monster? The monster will be afraid of yUGH!” Wu Sojung was struck in the face while speaking. But it was interesting to see Hou Sangwha, who was taller than most cadets, to be afraid of something. The only person who thought her reaction to be cute was Ko Wanghur. ‘She would be terrified if I tell her the truth.’ Yeowun thought Hou Sangwha might be too frightened and would not want to take the fifth test, so he decided to keep quiet about the truth. When Bakgi came to the room, Yeowun brought the bowl that he had stored at the storage. “Ugh!” “Yeeeeek!” It was sealed with clothes, but the stench coming from it made all cadets pinch their noses. The smell was so foul that they had never smelled such a thing. Jin Guuk, who was weak at such a bad smell, ran out of the room, vomiting. “M-master! What is that?!” Ja Wumin asked as he saw the oozing black liquid inside the bowl. It was the blood of a dragon serpent, a mythical creature, but there was no way to explain this easily so Yeowun just lied about it. “As I passed through the Demon Seal Cave, I went in the wrong direction and found this.” “In the cave?” Mun Ku, Ko Wanghur, and Bakgi who had passed the test, became surprised. They had to focus on the cold air blowing in from the exit that they didn’t even think about going to another direction. “And what is that for?” “And when I did… I somehow drank it and it pushed out all the toxic stuff from my blood points and allowed better energy flow.” “W-what? Is that real?’ Every martial artist knew the importance of having free flow of energy. If the energy flowed freely and more quickly, then it allowed the martial artist to use the formation or internal energy more quickly. “T-then it’s a treasure!” “Ohhh!” Some cadets began to be excited, even with the smell. But it still made them hesitant to see disgusting visual of the liquid. “…I couldn’t just have it on my own, so I brought some by filling it in my scabbard.” He couldn’t say that he had squeezed out some of it from his clothes. “Oh… Master, you did that for us!” “Master!” Hu Bong, Ohjong, and Ja Wumin were touched by Yeowun’s actions. “Master… thank you for everything! There will be no master who cares about his servants like you!” Ko Wanghur got up and bowed to thank him. Yeowun then carefully pushed the bowl to his members. “Then drink it.” But even when knowing it was good for them, they were still hesitant. The smell was too terrible and the sticky visual made it hard to even think about drinking it. And while everyone was hesitating, Hu Bong got up courageously. “Master gave us a gift! There is no need to hesitate. I’ll go first!” Hu Bong brought up a cup and filled it up. “Ugggh.” Sticky visual made the other fourteen cadets frown and moan. It was surely disgusting in every way. “Thank you, Master!!” Hu Bong bowed with the cup and drank it. “Kyaaaa! Good!’ He then placed it upside down on top of his head. ‘Huh?’ ‘Is it okay?’ All members then thought maybe it was okay to drink, but… “Aaaaaaaarrrrrgghnnngh….” Hu Bong screamed and turned blue while grabbing his neck, and slumped to the ground, twisting his body. He trembled on the ground and Mun Ku mumbled, “… Are you sure this is what you said will happen, Prince?” Chapter 124 Chapter 124: The sixth test (1) It was okay until he drank it. But the terrible taste that choked him even made Hu Bong almost pass out. It was a taste that even Yeowun almost vomited when he drank it, so it was natural. ‘Ggggrrrrrgg…’ Hu Bong looked like he was in so much pain that he even had stickylooking bubbles over his mouth. ‘…Do I really need to drink this?’ ‘He looks like he’ll die.’a And with Hu Bong’s first try of the liquid, every member became more hesitant. It was only after when they saw Hu Bong wake up after having all of his toxic elements being extracted out of his skin and increased flow of his energy that people started drinking it. [Prince, I’m really, really thankful, but I’ll pass on this.] [Master, I don’t think I can… ugh.] Mun Ku and Hou Sangwha refused to drink as they got sick from various parts of the liquid. Everyone who drank the black liquid had fallen from the terrifying taste, that it was natural for anyone to refuse to drink it. [Prince, I can’t do it. You know that!] ‘Oh.’ If extracts were to come out from the skin, then Mun Ku’s mask might come off so she couldn’t drink in front of everyone. Yeowun then gave up on trying to offer it to Mun Ku after that. So, it came down to only the female cadets who had not drunk the liquid. After the busy night, Yeowun woke up early the next morning and went to the blacksmith north of the academy. It was to ask about the process of the dragon serpent’s horn. Thick snow fell overnight and the entire academy had been covered in white, but the blacksmith’s roof was the only place without any snow over it due to the heat from the forge. “Master Chun! Where did you get this from?!” Blacksmith Ou Sunong was shocked to see a white club. It was something he had never seen it and the density was much stronger than any iron. He had struck it down with various weapons inside the blacksmith to test it, but all weapons had been destroyed while doing it. “I… got it from somewhere. I can’t tell you where.” Yeowun did not reveal the location of where he found it. He figured he didn’t need to let Ou Sunong know of his finding from the Demon Seal Cave and cause more issues. And for Ou Sunong, he didn’t really care where it came from anyway. ‘This… with such material, I can make the best weapon possible!’ He was more excited than when he got hands on the cold steel. A master craftsman like him would be happy to see such good material. Sunong promised Yeowun to make him a weapon out of this. “So, you want a blade out of this?” “Yes, please.” “Hahaha. Okay. I will make the best blade I can with this.” He was curious as to what kind of blade could be created with the horn of a dragon serpent. He thought about asking for a sword, but he had the black sword already so there was no need for it. “Oh, and you will be given cold steel. Will you make a sword with it?” “Didn’t you said I could get only one weapon made?” “No, you are a master now. Masters can receive any weapon they please, but the cult only provides cold steel enough to create one weapon. So, if you bring yourself any materials, then you are free to request to create another. Just like how you did this time.” Sunong pointed at the horn. He said he could create more weapons if Yeowun brought more materials. “Oh! Good. Then please make me a sword.” Yeowun wanted to hide the existence of the black sword, so it was good to have a replacement for now. He had to keep it secret until he found out why the sword had the engraving that said ‘Sky Demon Sword’ on it. Yeowun became happy that he was going to receive two unique weapons from him and asked, “How long will it take to create these weapons?” “Well, with such materials, I will need about two months.” “What? Will it take that long?” That was longer than he expected. Creating his first blade took two weeks, so this was four times that. Yeowun thought about taking the sixth test when his weapons were finished, so if it took two months to create them, then he had to postpone taking the sixth test. “Well, it will take that long if I am to create both sword and blade. Or will you come each time when each weapon is completed?” “Oh! So, it takes only a month to create one then?” “Haha, so you must be in a hurry. Yes. Which one do you want first?” Yeowun thought about it for a second and chose the blade. He had the black sword even if it was a secret, so he chose the blade as he was curious as to what kind of weapon would be created from the horn of the dragon serpent. “Haha. I will have it prepared in a month. Look forward to it, Master Chun.” “Thank you, sir.” Yeowun then left the blacksmith and walked north. ‘And what’s left is to…’ He was now on the way to the main building to choose the time and who he will fight for the sixth test. The twelve elders of the cult were busy with different jobs inside the cult, so the academy needed to notify them ahead to set the time. Yeowun thought about it for the entire night and finally had chosen who to fight. About fifteen minutes later, at the office of the Chief of the Demonic Academy… Lee Hameng was looking at Yeowun weirdly. It was because of the person Yeowun had appointed to fight for his sixth test. Unlike Hameng’s expectation of Yeowun using few more days to think about it, he had come back in just one day and chose someone very unexpected. “Master Chun, are you sure about the choice?” “Yes, sir. Please.” “Hmm…” There was a reason for Lee Hameng’s reaction. Chapter 125 Chapter 125: The sixth test (2) ‘This isn’t just being reckless.’ Yeowun chose the leader of Wise Clan, First Elder Mu Jinwon. Aside from the Lord himself, Mu Jinwon was one of the top two warriors along with the Great Guardian Marakim. Mu Jinwon had not fought against the Lord as of yet, but there was no one who had defeated Mu Jinwon until now, and Yeowun had chosen him to fight, which made Hameng frown. ‘Is he out of his mind?’ This was the worst choice one could ever make. Whatever his thinking was, it seemed it was impossible. Yeowun just had become a superior warrior, so there was no way for him to fight against Mu Jinwon who had hit the end stage of the superior level tens of years ago. This was due to warriors who guarded the library not needing to report to the Chief immediately as they had to stand guard at the library at all times. Lee Hameng did not know that Yeowun had reached the end superior level yet. ‘So, he is not aware of my power then.’ This was also partly because Yeowun had hid his energy intentionally. After reaching the end stage of the superior level, Yeowun was able to control his inner energy completely and set the energy almost equal to when he entered the academy years ago. He realized that it was better to hide his energy than to show it off. He had gotten so powerful that Lee Hameng couldn’t even see through it. “Master Chun, are you really sure? I will not ask again.” “Yes, please.” Wise Clan, the strongest clan of all six clans. Yeowun thought about choosing Poison or Loyal Clan as he had the most problems with them from a long time ago, but he had changed his mind as he thought it was best to tackle the most dangerous enemy first. Other elders were also dangerous, but if he can terminate the most powerful warrior Mu Jinwon in a fair duel, then it was sure to take the Wise Clan’s power away. ‘He gives me no choice.’ Hameng shook his head. He thought Yeowun had grown rational, but he seemed still reckless. Yeowun would want this too, but if the duel begins, it was likely for Mu Jinwon to try to kill Yeowun too as Yeowun was the number one risk for Chun Muyeon to rise to power. Lee Hameng couldn’t force Yeowun to change his decision, as that would be too personal from here on. “Okay. I will send words to the Wise Clan.” And ten days had passed after Yeowun had chosen the elder to fight against. Between that time, Left Guardian Lee Hameng had notified Mu Jinwon with an official letter with seal of the Lord about the sixth test. First elder Mu Jinwon accepted the request at once. There was no reason for Mu Jinwon to not take the chance to kill the only risk for his grandson to become the future Lord. But things didn’t work out as plans in the world. On the tenth day, ambassador from the Yulin Clan came to the castle of the Demonic Cult. Cadets from the academy could not know what was going on outside, but this news made the entire cult to become shocked. The ambassador returned exactly on the third day. This brought change. Seven days before the day of the sixth test, instructors came over and called Yeowun up to the Chief’s office. Yeowun, who was training in the training room, went to the Chief’s office without knowing why he was being summoned. “Greetings, Chief.” Yeowun got into the office and bowed. Hameng then placed down documents on the desk and spoke to him. “You’re here.” “I heard you summoned me.” “Hm…” Yeowun became curious as Lee Hameng frowned. It seemed there had been a problem. “Is there something wrong?” “I’m sorry, Master Chun. We have to change the person you will fight for the sixth test.” “Pardon?” Yeowun frowned at the unexpected turn of events. He already heard that the first elder had changed his schedule for the test. It was shocked to hear that there will be a change. Yeowun asked. “Why is that? Did First Elder change his mind?'” Sixth test allowed cadets to choose who to fight, but elders also had the right to refuse to accept the request. But it was a matter of honor and pride, so there was no instance where an elder refused. “No, that is not the case.” “Then, what’s going on?” Yeowun asked and Hameng hesitated for a bit and sent out energy to cut out the entire office from the outside so the sound would not go out. It seemed like what he was going to say was a secret. “It is classified information so I can’t tell you about the details. There are only four elders at the cult right now.” “Four?” “You have to choose between those four.” Yeowun was a master rank, but he was still a cadet. Any details were classified so Yeowun was not allowed to know about it. This made the entire plan to fail so Yeowun frowned. He couldn’t say he will wait until First Elder returned since there wasn’t much time left at the academy anymore. He had to choose someone. “…Who’s left then?” “There are the ninth to twelfth elders.” “Ah…” This meant every high-ranking elder was out. As far as Yeowun knew, the six clans’ elders were from the first to sixth elders so this meant that he was not allowed to fight any of those elders. Lee Hameng of course knew what Yeowun wanted. ‘Hmph. I don’t want to suggest this but…’ It was obvious who Yeowun will want to choose to fight, so Hameng decided to let him know anyway. “There has been a change to the ranks between elders recently.” “Change? What is that?” “Clan Leader Baek from the Poison Clan was demoted to the 12th Elder.” Baek Oh, the Monster Poison. He had become elder again three months ago, but he was no longer the Sixth Elder. And due to it, he was now the only elder from the six clans that left within the cult right now. ‘Poison Clan!’ Yeowun who was disappointed that he won’t be able to fight any of six clan elders, turned to smile. The answer was already chosen. “I will fight the 12th Elder.” Chapter 126 Chapter 126: The sixth test (3) Six days before the sixth test, at the office of the clan leader for the Poison Clan, located at the mansion of the Poison Clan, located at the west of the Demonic Cult’s castle. There were many leaders of the Poison Clan gathtered here, but they all looked grim. This was due to the request came at morning from the Demonic Academy about the sixth test. No one had expected the situation to turn out like this. When the other five clans heard about Chun Yeowun’s challenge, all the six clans’ problems had challenged First Elder Mu Jinwon, they were glad. The Wise Clan had grown much more powerful during these three years when the Poison and Sword Clans had become much weaker. ‘We hope the Wise Clan will be pressured from the result.’ For now, Chun Yeowun was like a sweet poison. For Mu Jinwon, he had to kill Chun Yeowun in the duel to allow his grandson to be only remaining candidate to the throne. But from what happened until now, this event was sure to give the Lord a chance to put down the Wise Clan, so this was a win win for the other clans. “Elder, you need to refuse this request. You were freed from prison only months ago. Lord’s eye is still on us.” Advisor of the Poison Clan spoke to Baek Oh. It was different from when people insisted they should send an assassin to kill Chun Yeowun. Things were different now. “My thought stands. If we become more oppressed, it might destroy the balance of power between the six clans.” Baek Chau, former leader of the clan, also agreed with the idea. The Poison Clan was weakened so much that the other high-ranking clans like the Demon Dragon Clan or others could even try to overthrow them. “But if we refuse, then we are announcing to everyone that we have become weakened!” Second son of Baek Oh, Baek Munwung shouted. He was the aggressive type and did not want his clan to be belittled anymore. “We have to patient. Being reckless won’t help us at such a moment.” Baek Munwung, however, wasn’t so happy to hear that. “Our cousin is still on bed and our clan is at such a state! What more do we have to wait for?!” He pointed at a small building across the yard where Chun Jongsum was at. With the internal energy destroyed and all of his bones shattered, Chun Jongsum even had his spinal cord destroyed that he couldn’t even move from his bed. All he could do was just live. “Muwung is right. The boy is already a superior level warrior. It is better to get rid of him now than later. It will be too late if we let him be, especially when when we all know our relationship toward him.” Baek Oh’s third son, Baek Munho, spoke with reasonable idea. It was hard to imagine what Yeowun will become if he was already at the superior level. And from what Baek Oh had to suffer, and going back to the death of Lady Hwa, Yeowun and the Poison Clan were tied with bad omens. “That’s a problem for every clan. Even if the boy became powerful, he does not have the forces to back him up with. Is he a threat? No. The threat is the Lord.” Baek Chau spoke to object Baek Munho’s idea. Only good thing to come from killing Yeowun was that they killed a possible future enemy. But the price was to be cast out from the Lord and be pushed out from the six clans. “You all are idiots!” “Who are you to say that!” People divided into two groups in ideas and began to shout in argument. Baek Oh, who had been listening to them for long time, had chosen what to do after a long thought. “Stop! I will refuse this request.” He too wanted to kill Chun Yeowun more than anyone, but there was just too much at stake. It was better for another to kill him. Leaders who wished Baek Oh to refuse the request agreed, and his sons were disappointed at the decision. After everyone returned, Baek Oh came to the small building where Chun Jongsum was at. Baek Oh sat in front of Chun Jongsum who was only blinking while lying down. He was almost as good as dead. Baek Oh did everything in his power to heal him, but not even the Demon Doctor himself could do anything. “I’m sorry. Gramps has nothing I can do to help you.” The symbol of terror himself was still weak for his grandson. He was despaired that he had to care about his clan even when his precious grandson, who was born from his precious daughter, had been thrown into such a state. And did Chun Jongsum know of this? Jongsum’s eye turned teary. And it was then. “Elder, there is a guest.” “Guest at this hour? What kind of guest visits at such hour? Let them return.” Baek Oh wasn’t in a mood to greet a guest. But he had to choose his choice at the telepathic message. [It’s Lady Mu from the Wise Clan. Should we return her? She’s at the front of your building.] Baek Oh then became surprised. The woman had not visited after the funeral of his daughter Lady Baek. “Okay. I will go out.” It was not someone he can just refuse because he wasn’t in the mood. Baek Oh then walked out of the room. And as Baek Oh opened the door to get out, Jongsum rolled his eyes to look at his grandfather. ‘?!’ And through the door, he saw someone dimly lit below the fire. It was a middle-aged woman with a red veil over her head. Chun Jongsum, who could barely open and close his eyes, began to shake his eyes, and his body began to tremble. ‘It’s her! IT’S HER!!!!’ It was the woman who had gotten the poison from his mother. He wanted to scream something, but he couldn’t even move his tongue and he trembled in anger until he passed out. The next day, the advisor from the Poison Clan visited the office of the Chief of Demonic Academy. He had a letter that wrote from Baek Oh himself that had simple sentence. [Challenge Accepted.] The 12th elder, and the leader of Poison Clan Baek Oh had accepted the challenge. It was the morning of the 6th test that was being held in 70 years. Chun Yeowun had woken up four hours prior to the duel and went to the blacksmith. The academy was full of snow because of snow that fell past few days, but the area around blacksmith was wet from snows melted from the heat. The blacksmith that was noisy from hammering all night was now quiet. Yeowun waited outside for about ten minutes and heard someone inside and walked in. “Master Ou?” When he walked in, the inside of the blacksmith was hot from the heat from the forge. As Yeowun walked further in, Ou Sunong was working on something very seriously. He was sewing on a white leather carefully, making a leather scabbard. Yeowun could not disturb him, so he quieted himself down and waited until the job was done. And it was after an hour passed. Chapter 127 Chapter 127: The sixth test (4) “Finally!” Ou Sunong looked at the completed scabbard in a satisfied voice. The white leather had a red engraving that looked very gracious and luxurious. “Is it finished?” “BY THE BLACKSMITHING GOD! YOU SURPRISED ME!” Ou Sunong almost dropped to the ground at the sudden sound coming from his back. He was able to find his calm after watching Yeowun who was standing near the entrance of the room. “Why didn’t you let me know that you were here? Haha. Wait a second.” Sunong then walked into the processing room and returned with the completed blade. “Oh!” Yeowun gasped in astonishment as soon as he saw the blade. The blade was so beautiful. It was glowing with white pearlish color that proved it was the finest of weapon there is. “I engraved the name you requested.” Toward the hilt of the blade, there was engraving that said ‘White Dragon Blade.’ This was to honor the Dragon Serpent who could not have become a dragon which fitted well with the white blade. As Yeowun grabbed on the handle, he felt it was very nice to grab onto it. The blade also seemed to be very sharp that he can slice anything with it. “Here, place the blade up.” Sunong then brought up a very thin clothes and dropped it from the air, and when it fell on the blade, the clothes were cut into half. “Whoa.” It was so sharp that it even cut the thin flappy clothes. “How do you like it?” “I love this. I didn’t expect you would create me such a wonderful blade. You are the best blacksmith! Master Ou!” “Hahahaha! Thank you.” Chun Yeowun wasn’t one to show emotion, but he had spoken every complements he can. Ou Sunong seemed he was glad. He had created the finest weapon and was acknowledged by its owner so that was enough. ‘With this blade, my Butterfly Dance Blade will be more powerful than what the teacher can do with his Crazy Blade.’ He had become more powerful than his teacher, but it was still good to be praised for his blade skill from the teacher. And with acquiring the White Dragon Blade, it now completed the Black Sword White Blade, godly weapon combo that symbolized Chun Yeowun in the future. After about an hour, everyone including cadets were now gathering at the training ground of the Demonic Academy. It was to watch the sixth test that have not been held in past 70 years. This was a private duel that didn’t require cadets to gather, but there was no martial artist who would not want to see a duel between superior level warriors. Everyone turned to Chun Yeowun, who was waiting up on the training ground with his eyes closed. ‘Sixth test…! Isn’t it amazing?’ ‘He sure is a monster.’ ‘How can he become superior level within four years?’ ‘Yeah, but will he able to fight the elder?’ After Yeowun decided to take the sixth test, everyone now knew that Yeowun was at the level of superior warrior. This changed people view about Yeowun completely. IT was now the look of admiration. But after hearing that sixth test was to fight one of 12 elders, who were the strongest warriors of the cult, people were divided in opinions. ‘Who did he choose to fight?’ ‘He probably chose one of six clans.’ ‘They are within top ten ranks! he wouldn’t do that if he wasn’t a fool!’ Cadets did not know who Yeowun was going to fight yet. They just thought Yeowun had chosen the weakest elder to fight, so it will be the 12th elder, as 12th was to be weakest among those elders. And their guess was correct. But of course, they did not know that there had been a change of ranks between elders in recent days. At the training ground, Yeowun’s members were gathered, waiting with tense looks. They knew who Yeowun was going to fight already, so they were worried. Yeowun had the leader of Poison clan, one of the most dangerous warriors within the cult. “Oh! Look!” One cadet shouted and everyone turned to the entrance of the academy. There was one old man with a black robe walking toward them, with a weird staff. He looked very old, but the ominous aura from him proved who he was. “L-leader of the Poison clan!” Everyone realized it was Baek Oh the Poison Demon and began to mumble in shock. Some guessed Yeowun would choose one of the elders from six clans, but they didn’t expect it to be Baek Oh. ‘It’s crazy… it’s the Poison man!’ ‘Did he really choose a leader from the Poison Clan?’ There wasn’t anyone who did not know about infamous Baek Oh in entire Wulin. He had massacred 300 enemies from the forces of evil with his poison attack, and also poisoned many powerful warriors from Forces of Justice and Evil that didn’t even leave their bodies. He was rumored to be most hated to fight against. “Oh, Chief is coming out!” “Huh? The person next to is…!” Chief Lee Hameng then began walking out from the main building. To next of him, there was a middle-aged man with long mustache and hair turned about half into white. It was one of 12th leader, Sama Yi of the Samu Clan. “It’s 10th elder!” ‘Father…’ He was 10th elder before but he was now 9th elder. Sama Chak looked at him with a glad look. He didn’t think to see his father at this fight. Sama Yi walked up to the stage and sat down on the prepared seat and Lee Hameng walked up to the front of the stage. When Baek Oh arrived at the middle of the training ground, Yeowun opened his eyes. He had seen the man in three years and four months since the day at the prison cave. He had no way to fight against the man because of difference in absolute power. ‘…Poison Clan!’ It reminded him of his mother, Lady Hwa. Anger began to come up, and started a fire in Yeowun’s heart. But his eyes were calm and cold. ‘He… had changed a lot.’ Baek Oh was quite surprised to see Yeowun. He had just entered master level then but now was at equal superior level. ‘Hah! But you are still far more to go.’ Yeowun’s energy was sure that he was just a entry-level superior warrior. This was enough for Baek Oh to kill him without much effort. ‘I will kill you before you grow to be more risk.’ When everyone got ready, Lee Hameng shouted. “We will begin the sixth test now! 9th leader will be our witness for this fight!” Sama Yi got up and bowed at the crowd. In normal circumstances, it needed four elders to be witnesses, but they only had four elders remaining at the cult, so it was downsized. “First, I thank you for taking Master Chun’s request, 12th Elder.” ‘Bah.’ Baek Oh bowed with a frown at Hameng’s bow. Baek Oh was not happy as he was put in prison for what happened at the prison cave, when he and Hameng promised to keep it as a secret. ‘Oh, he’s angry then.’ Hameng became grim. If Baek Oh was that much angry, then it might be worse for Yeowun who needed to fight him. ‘I hope you survive.’ “Then we shall start the test. 12th elder, Master Chun. You will look at each other and stand at 12 step distance.” As two looked at each other and stood, the crowd turned quiet with tense air. Hameng then raised his hand and shouted. “You may begin!” At that moment, Baek Oh jumped out like lightning and charged into the front of Yeowun. ‘I will kill you right now!’ His staff that held force qi struck into Yeowun’s chest. Baek Oh had unleashed all of his power to attack first, to kill Yeowun in instant. ‘Already?!’ Cadets were shocked to see the fight, as it seemed it will end as soon as it started and turned to the staff that penetrated through Yeowun’s chest. That’s when Baek Oh’s eye shook. Yeowun’s body faded away. ‘M-mirror Image!!’ Chapter 128 Chapter 128: The sixth test (5) Elders of the Demonic Cult were both leaders of their respective clan and also one of the most powerful warriors of the cult. Unlike everyone’s expectation where the elder, as an experienced warrior and senior as a cultist, will allow a first chance for Yeowun, the elder Baek Oh charged in with an ambush. ‘Master!’ ‘That’s an ambush!’ All of Yeowun’s members were shocked and surprised. But as the staff that held force qi struck into Yeowun, his body faded and disappeared. ‘Ah!’ Mirror Image. It was the outcome of one moving so quickly that it left a trace of himself in the spot. It was the result of moving just before being struck, so that even the strongest warriors were hard to notice. ‘He used Mirror Image against me?!’ Baek Oh then calmly twisted the staff and unleashed defensive formation toward his back. Chun Yeowun then appeared from back of Baek Oh and took five steps back to avoid defensive formation. ‘He’s quick.’ Baek Oh was not like any other enemy Yeowun had fought until now. With over hundreds of experience at fighting enemies, Baek Oh knew that Yeowun will come for his back where it was open, and his expectation was right. ‘By the gods…’ ‘He really is a superior level…’ Every cadet and instructor was astonished to see this. No one around had sensed Chun Yeowun’s Mirror Image. They just saw Yeowun disappeared and reappeared at the back of Baek Oh. The only one who saw Chun Yeowun was Lee Hameng and Sama Yi, the 9th elder. ‘How can it be…?’ Lee Hameng was shocked at Chun Yeowun’s walking skill. If he wasn’t wrong, then Yeowun’s movement was exactly like that of the Great Guardian Marakim. Marakim’s walking skill was so powerful that no one could catch up to him, and gave his skill the nickname of Wind God. ‘Was there a book for the Great Guardian’s walking skill on the fifth floor?’ Hameng’s guess was right. Chun Yeowun’s walking skill was from the skill book: Step of the Wind God. But Yeowun did not know who did this skill belonged to. ‘It’s quite useful.’ He wasn’t sure if it wasn’t that useful when he first learned it, but since Baek Oh couldn’t catch up to it, then it was surely a powerful skill. Baek Oh then quickly analyzed on how to fight Yeowun. ‘If he’s fast, I’ll make him slow down.’ Baek Oh quickly swung his staff toward Yeowun’s leg. Then the energy jumped out from the staff and shoot out at Yeowun’s leg. ‘Energy Bullet?’ Energy Bullet. It was possible for superior level warriors to throw force qi that had gathered up on the weapon to throw it like a bullet. As Yeowun jumped up, the energy bullet struck into the training ground, leaving explosive sound as dust kicked up. Baek Oh then jumped through the dust and unleashed the fifth formation of the Destructive Poison Art. He was after Yeowun’s leg. ‘Is he trying to seal my movement?’ Yeowun then reached out at the white blade’s handle. As he pulled up, the white blade revealed itself. Baek Oh, who have not heard or seen such a white and narrow blade, scoffed. ‘Do you think you can block my cold steel staff with such blade?!’ Baek Oh’s weird looking staff was made out of cold steel that it was very durable. It also wielded force qi, that its power was enough to destroy a hard rock. Yeowun’s blade spun, and Yeowun unleashed the second formation of the Butterfly Blade Dance. With two formations wielding force qi collided, an explosive sound rang out from it. “Ugh!” “M-my ears!” Cadets who had not reached the grandmaster level were too weak at painful energy wielded sound coming through their ears. Two of them then pushed out against each other and distanced themselves. ‘W-what is that blade?’ Baek Oh looked at Yeowun’s White Dragon Blade with shock. The fight against formation was equal, but the blade had made much damage over Baek Oh’s cold steel staff. The blade, however, was unscarred. ‘Who gave him such a precious blade?!’ It was very weird. Even if Yeowun had gotten up to superior level, he should have lacked experience in a real fight, but he was reacting it well as if he had fought over hundreds of battles. And what didn’t make sense the most was his internal energy. ‘Is he really entrance level of the superior?’ His energy looked like the entry-level, but the energy wielded in every of his blade attack did not fall behind Baek Oh’s own energy. Baek Oh was already using 100% of his energy from the beginning. He knew that even if the enemy was weak, he always had to try his best to not lose as any mistake can lead to his death. ‘Did he hide his power then?’ After a few exchanges, Baek Oh was able to see through that Yeowun was hiding his real power. If that was to be possible, then it required one to be at least equal to or more powerful than himself. Baek Oh’s eye turned serious. ‘He didn’t do his best against me? He really is a monster.’ It was now understandable why Chun Jongsum, his grandson couldn’t defeat him. He had seen many talented individuals, but never saw one who grew in such speed. He then remembered Lady Mu who visited him last night. ‘Elder Baek. You must accept the request from the academy.’ “Lady Mu… don’t you think you are going out of your boundary?’ Mu was the wife of the 1st Elder, but she had no authority over other clan leaders or elders. Baek Oh who wasn’t already in a good mood began to become angry and Lady Mu offered him something. ‘I know the whereabouts of the Doctor God.’ Chapter 129 Chapter 129: The sixth test (6) ‘What?’ Doctor God. The best doctor in the world who earned the nickname of a god. He was a legendary doctor who was said to heal anyone unless the one is dead. There were a lot of rumors but no one knew who or where he was. But everyone was certain of his skill. This was information Baek Oh wanted to know so badly who wanted to heal his grandson. ‘How can I believe that what you know is true?’ She then showed Baek Oh an orange tag. It had an engraving of the doctor’s sign. ‘My grandfather once received this tag from the Doctor God a long time ago. He told me you can meet him if you bring this tag to a certain place.’ Lady Mu’s grandfather was former Wise Clan leader, Mu Jinking. He was the hero of the Demonic Cult who had made many legendary feats at the war against the world 50 years ago. Baek Oh had to accept her offer, as he had to take any chances. ‘…So, do I need to just accept the request?’ ‘You must kill him.’ ‘Lady Mu. Others can kill him too.’ Baek Oh thought that Chun Yeowun was merely entry to the superior level, that any elders can kill him as well. But Lady Mu’s thought was different. ‘No. The only elder who is left in the cult who can kill him is you… it’s because you are…’ ‘…And if I do, what of the consequences?’ ‘If this becomes a problem, we, the Wise Clan, will help you with any way we can to clear out the issue. As the former Lord is already chosen.’ That’s what Baek Oh had talked about with Lady Mu. She said that Baek Oh was the only elder who could kill Chun Yeowun. ‘Wise Clan… how much do they know?’ It was exactly as she said. Yeowun’s power was something that no remaining elders can fight. He was now so powerful that no one under the 3rd Elder could even think about fighting him, besides from Baek Oh himself. It wasn’t sure how Lady Mu knew of Yeowun’s real power, but it didn’t matter. Even with his grandson problem aside, if Yeowun wasn’t to be killed here, then six clans were going to have the worst enemy there is. ‘I have to kill him right here.’ Baek Oh, who decided to kill Yeowun, began to shine in the purple poisonous aura, which then spread among the air. With the poisonous cloud moving through, the sand beneath the training ground turned black. Lee Hameng and Sama Yi got shocked and got up immediately. “How can you release the poison!” “Elder Baek! What are you thinking!” Even Sama Yi, who was here as a witness was too shocked. Baek Oh’s main weapon was poison, but he didn’t use it unless he was going to fight to kill. His poison was so dangerous that he was a walking poison bomb and was nicknamed Poison man. Aside from his power of martial art, his ability to spread hundreds of poisons allowed him to kill anyone if he wanted. “Is he trying to kill the challenger?!” Sama Yi was concerned that the challenger appointed Poison clan at the beginning. He thought Baek Oh will not go so far, but this was going to be a battle for life. ‘Chun Yeowun…!’ Lee Hameng closed his eyes, as what he worried had come to reality. He hoped Baek Oh will not go so far, as he was locked up in prison for years and had his clan weakened, but that hope had failed. ‘It’s terrible poison.’ Yeowun eyed coldly at the poison coming out of Baek Oh. He expected the poison but this much was sure that Baek Oh was trying to kill him. “Whoooah.” As Baek Oh let out his breath, purple steam came out. He had raised the poison stage up to seven. ‘Is that blood?’ ‘How can you defeat such a monster?’ ‘Maybe he will die!!’ With purple cloud filling the area, cadets and instructors got farther away, out of reach from the poison and looked at Chun Yeowun with a concerned look. The poison was so large that it will swallow Yeowun at once. ‘M-master!’ ‘Prince!’ Chun Yeowun’s members who had strong trust toward their master also wished Yeowun will surrender. It seemed like Yeowun will die from being poisoned before passing the sixth test. But Yeowun was glaring at Baek Oh without even a flinch. “Arrogant fool! I will not even leave your body!” Baek Oh was ready to unleash poisonous attack, charged at Yeowun. Purple poison was coming out of his body as he charged in. Baek Oh swung his staff and gas cloud that was mixed with hundreds of poison stormed up and onto Yeowun. As the poison shoot through, it turned the ground into black and burned up black smoke. “N-no…” “How can that be!” All places that poison touched went dark, as it was burnt. Everyone frowned and looked away. That poison was enough to burn anyone even to its bones. ‘You brought his upon yourself, fool.’ There was no one who had survived against his poison attack until now. Baek Oh was sure that he had won and tried to put down his poison. That’s when a blue energy bullet shot through the poison gas and at Baek Oh’s neck. “W-what?!” Baek Oh brought up the cold steel staff with wielding force qi to defend. But this wasn’t the end. Chun Yeowun had got up to him already. “?!” Baek Oh had to strike back, but he was so shocked at what happened in front of him. Chun Yeowun’s skins that was burned down from poison, was healing up at tremendous speed. The sight of veins and muscles squirming to heal up was even grotesque. “W-what are you…!” It gave him chills to the bones as he looked at Yeowun’s eyes. Baek Oh had felt ‘fear’ for the first time of his life. “It’s my turn now.” “What- AAAAARGH!” With Yeowun’s powerful strike striking into Baek Oh whose body was thrown out and across the training ground and stopped at about halfway in. Chapter 130 Chapter 130: The sixth test (7) Yeowun’s members despaired at the thick cloud of poisonous gas that corrupted all surfaces it touched to blackness. This poison was sure to melt Yeowun to his bones. “Master!!!!” Hu Bong screamed in shock and Mun Ku looked down with her teary eyes as she couldn’t bear to see it. ‘Why did you have to fight the Poison Clan…’ She felt she could not hold tears back if she watched longer. It was then. “Huh?” They saw someone being thrown way to the back within the fading purple gas cloud, about halfway back of the training ground. It was so powerful that the figure struck on the ground multiple times while being thrown back, creating large crater each time. Everyone then turned to the person inside the crater. It was Baek Oh, the leader of the Poison Clan. “W-what?!” “Wait…” And through the poison cloud, Chun Yeowun walked out from it and all cadets roared in excitement. “Whoaaaaaaaaa!” Everyone had thought Yeowun was dead, but they were shocked to see him alive. Aside from his clothes being in rags due to poisonous gas, he didn’t seem to have any wounds or injury from the poison. “How did he endure Elder Baek’s poison?!” Sama Yi, the 9th Elder and Left Guardian Lee Hameng were also shocked to see Yeowun unharmed. They too had figured Yeowun would have died. From the past twenty years of war against other forces of Yulin, they have seen Baek Oh’s poison attack multiple times. It was so powerful that it brought massacre to every place the poison-filled. ‘I can’t believe it!’ And while everyone was shocked, Yeowun checked on his self. Entire poison was already extracted out of his body completely. “Whew.” When the poison unleashed upon him, Yeowun for the first time, used the energy barrier around himself. Even if Nano could heal him, there was nothing he could do if the poison melted him away entirely so fast. But Baek Oh’s poison was so powerful that it penetrated through his energy barrier and began to melt his skins. It was a terrifying poison that might have killed him if it wasn’t for Nano that blocked poison and healed his skins. And there was one thing Yeowun learned. It was the power of White Dragon Blade. ‘I didn’t think it can push out poison.’ When Yeowun sent energy into his White Dragon Blade, to attack Baek Oh, the poisonous gas around him was pushed out with the pure energy that gushed out from White Dragon Blade. He just thought it was a durable weapon, but it had more power held within it. “Urgh…!” Baek Oh barely got up. He also used an energy shield when he was struck, but it still crushed his ribs. If it was just a regular attack with energy, it might have been less damaging, but Yeowun’s physical power was just too great also. ‘What is this…! What is he?!’ But he couldn’t believe the regeneration more than anything. It was something he had never seen and it was hard to consider it a human regeneration. “Are you up now?” “What?!” Baek Oh then flinched at Yeowun’s voice suddenly coming from the front and threw his hand that wielded purple poisonous energy. Yeowun blocked it with the blade of his White Dragon Blade. The pure energy pushed Baek Oh’s poison away, making Baek Oh’s eye to become wide with shock. ‘So, this was what made him endure it!!’ Baek Oh figured he had found the reason and quickly jumped back. But Yeowun unleashed the last formation of Butterfly dance blade while wielding blue force qi upon his blade and charged at Baek Oh. ‘Submeng?’ This was a powerful attack that did not fall behind attack made from Right Guardian Submeng. Baek Oh bit on his lips as this attack was beyond something he can defend with his bare hand. ‘You give me no choice.’ AT that moment, Baek Oh’s skin turned into an ominous dark blue color as the blade struck against him. Multiple strikes came down upon Baek Oh, but the blade was thrown back with the sound of metal clashing. Yeowun became surprised. The blade pushed out the dark blue poisonous energy, but it began to burn down Yeowun’s skins. [Removing toxic poison coming into the body and healing the injury.] Nano rang through his head and the skin began to heal. Yeowun then quickly swung his White Dragon Blade to form a defensive barrier with it. “Haaaaaaaah!” Baek Oh then shouted and charged, pushing Yeowun way back about ten steps. Yeowun then pulled himself up and glared at Baek Oh. The poison Baek Oh used while ago wasn’t his best. It was as if Baek Oh himself had turned into the poison now. “Poison man?” Lee Hameng became grim. ‘Elder Baek… so you really want to see this through?’ The dark blue skin of Baek Oh’s state proved that he was in a Poison Man state. It was the last stage of his poison art that made his entire body as a poison. It made his skin hardened like a shield and made him unleash a powerful poison that could even melt rocks. ‘Even the Lord himself will not be easy to stop him now.’ Hameng knew that Poison Man was dangerous, but he didn’t think it was this terrifying. There was no one in this Demonic Academy who can fight Baek Oh now. All sands began to rise up with the energy coming out from the poison. Area around Baek Oh was now melting from such powerful poison. “I didn’t think you would make me to bring me into this. Try to block this with your blade.” As Baek Oh took steps to walk, a dark cloud came up each time as his foot touched the ground. It was so poisonous that even those who were watching far away outside the training ground made them choke. This state required Baek Oh to use the poison stored within him so he didn’t like using it, but this seemed like the only way to kill Chun Yeowun now
