“Captain, the stomach is looking at you with challenging eyes.”
“Just ignore the idiot. Are all our Dragon Blood Corps members gathered?”
Yongjin asked.
“Every single one of the Dragon Blood Corps members came. However, among the brothers who came with them, more than 70 of them were unable to keep up.”
Kwak Yeon answered.
‘More than 70 people?’
Yongjin sighed.
Out of a total of over 500 people, the Dragon Blood Corps alone numbered over 360. If you subtract another 70 from that, it was pitifully small.
More than 70 people could not follow this simple test.
Yongjin looked around and roughly calculated that there were about 700,000 people who had arrived here.
Of the 876,000 disciples, only 170,000 were eliminated.
Yongjin was surprised that the elimination rate was not high, even though he thought that at least half of the people would be eliminated.
pop.
Suddenly an explosion was heard.
The giant wind chime summoned by Dang Wan-ah collided with Eom Mak-jin.
Both of them stepped back at the same time.
“Majestic and powerful Wan-ah Sister! Defeat the Black Turtle!”
Kwak Yeon lit the fire first, and then Gok Yang and others joined in shouting.
With this attack, it seemed like the two were tied, but the quick-witted ones noticed that Eom Mak-jin was being pushed back.
The Ummakjin were barely able to hold out by relying on the strong defense of the earth type strongmen. This led to a war of attrition.
If they keep fighting, Dang Wan-ah will win.
The strongmen of the Western Mother had a hard time accepting this result, because the strongmen of the Western Mother had discriminated against Dong Huang the most. They had always called Dong Huang a dog, which made the strongmen of the Eastern Mother angry.
However, the first strong man of the Seo-mo clan, Eom Mak-jin, was pushed out by a 4th rank heavenly traveler named Dang Wan-ah.
The strong men of Seo-mo tried hard not to show it, but they couldn’t help but feel their faces getting hot.
“Huh, Senior Eom Mak-jin didn’t use his full power because you were a woman. Otherwise, how could you have endured it?”
The strong man of the Western Mother stood up and shouted.
“You’re still alive?”
Kwak Yeon was surprised to see the man. He was the first person to challenge Dong Huang, and his name was Xie Wei. He was a fourth-rank heavenly official.
On the day of registration, he was hit by a blow from the evil spirit and almost died. If the elder had not intervened at that time, he would not have been able to heal his precious place. After that, he was hit by Yongjin and his jaw was broken, and he fell to the ground and fainted in front of people.
“Huh, of course I’m alive. Did you think I’d be blocked by that level of test difficulty?”
The son-in-law said cynically.
“No, you misunderstood. What I meant was, how can you live with your face held high? You must have been so embarrassed that day. If you had any sense of dignity, you would have killed yourself. I really respect your courage to live until now.”
Kwak Yeon said with a look of respect in his eyes.
“you…….”
When Kwak Yeon poured salt on his wounds, his son-in-law became angry.
He was humiliated that day. Every time he thought about that day, he would grit his teeth and get angry. But he had no power to take revenge, so he had to endure it. But now that he was being publicly ridiculed by Kwak Yeon, his eyes felt like they were going to burst out in flames.
“I’m not trying to insult you. I really admire your courage. This is definitely a compliment. Really. A compliment.”
Kwak Yeon said again.
Although he said it was a compliment, he was already laughing.
No one around believed what Kwak Yeon said.
“Eom Mak-jin, from now on, check your physical condition first before you attack. And if you have any complaints, challenge me at any time.”
At that moment, Dang Wan-ah said something indifferently. Then, leaving behind Eom Mak-jin, whose face had darkened, she returned to her own camp.
“Wan-ah, Sister! You are so majestic!”
The Dragon Blood Warriors shouted loudly.
When Dang Wan-ah saw Yong-jin looking at her and smiling faintly, her face turned red and she became angry.
“What, why are you looking at me like that? What did I do wrong?”
“What you said was wrong.”
Yongjin said, shaking his head.
“What kind?”
“Your words are so fatal.”
“what?”
Yongjin said with a smile.
“If you look at Eom Mak-jin’s body, you can tell that he has a lot of shit in his body. But isn’t it a bit dirty that you asked Eom Mak-jin to check his body condition first?”
Dang Wan-ah was momentarily confused, but later understood what it meant.
“Yongjin, you’re really disgusting.”
“ha ha ha…….”
Dang Wan-ah was disgusted, but the Dragon Blood Warriors nearby laughed loudly.
Woof.
Suddenly, the space began to vibrate and a pressure surged out, startling people.
Everyone sighed and noticed the surrounding scenery changing.
A large mountain appeared ahead, and a long stone staircase went up in a straight line and led to the main gate.
The gate was high enough to reach the ceiling, and the stairs went up through the clouds. Everyone was in awe of the grandeur, the sacredness, and the majesty of the sight.
Above the gate was written the huge letter ‘Hyeon’. The letters were elegant and lively, full of energy. It seemed as if it was trying to pierce through the sky.
“We passed the examination!”
Many people were happy and shed tears when they saw the main gate. That was the main gate of Hyeoncheondojong.
Yongjin’s lips trembled as he saw them shedding tears of joy. He decided not to pour cold water on them. Based on his past experiences, he didn’t think it would end this easily.
If they had really gotten through, they would have to stand in front of the gate. But they still had to climb hundreds of li of stairs.
At that moment, Mok Cheong-hwan appeared at the top of the stairs.
Mok Cheong-hwan looked down at everyone from a high place and smiled. Her gentle smile was like a spring breeze. She appeared at this time in particular and made everyone even happier.
“Priest Cheonghwon has come to welcome us.”
“Cheonghwan, you’re so pretty. I love you.”
“Master Cheonghwon, I will train hard and become your disciple later.”
When Mok Cheong-hwan appeared, the scene became heated.
The excited disciples began to speak up, taking courage.
“I appreciate you guys speaking so highly of me, but seeing you guys so excited makes me not know how to begin.”
At Mok Cheong-hwan’s words, people looked at each other and tilted their heads.
As Yongjin expected, it couldn’t end this easily.
The other strong men also realized the meaning behind Mok Cheong-hwan’s words.
“Everyone, be quiet. Only the best of the best are allowed to enter the Hyeoncheon Dojong. No trash is allowed to mix in.”
A fourth-ranked monk spoke coldly.
Yongjin took a look at him. For a fourth-rank official, his skills were not bad.
Hearing his words, many people got angry and were about to swear at him, but then Mok Cheong-hwan’s voice was heard.
“Everyone, calm down and listen to me carefully.”
Mok Cheong-hwan took a deep breath and continued speaking.
“The practice is cruel and merciless. Ten years ago, I stood here like you and saw many of my colleagues cheering, wailing, and even shedding tears. But when I heard this news, everyone’s hearts cooled down. Because to become a disciple of the Hyeoncheon Dao Sect, one must undergo a cruel test.
To be honest, you guys are much more talented than us, but you lack a lot of skill. Probably at least half of the people here will be eliminated. It could be more than that.”
Her words left many disheartened, and some were so shocked that they could barely stand.
“Half of them… are they eliminated?”
The smiles disappeared from the faces of people who had been filled with joy.
A look of regret crossed Mok Cheong-hwan’s eyes as she looked at their expressions, but she had to continue speaking.
“This is what practice is all about. The strong are always strong, and they have to get all the resources themselves. That’s why the strong will become stronger and stronger. Because the resources that were supposed to be given to the weak also go to the strong. Don’t complain about the unfairness. There is no fairness in this world. To become strong, you have to fight, compete, and steal. There’s nothing more to say. Then I will begin the final test. This test is simple. Just climb these 999 steps and get to where I am standing.”
Phew!
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard and the space shook. At the same time, two huge shadows appeared in front of the stairs. Everyone got goosebumps when they saw them. It was as if ice water was flowing from head to toe.
“10th level demon.”
Yongjin was also nervous. He knew what it was.
Two snakes with a body length of tens of thousands of feet. Their entire bodies were covered in golden scales, and ancient letters glittered on the scales. An endless sense of oppression spread out, as if the heavens and earth were frozen.
The head of the snake had a golden horn. Above the golden horn, the division flowed and continued to twist space.
“That’s neither a snake nor a serpent. It’s a legendary dragon.”
Yongjin’s heart raced.
Snake, snake, dragon, dragon. According to legend, this is the process of transforming from a snake to a dragon. However, some people think this is all nonsense.
A snake is just a snake, and even if you practice for your whole life, it is just a big snake. It has nothing to do with dragons.
But others believe this is true. The process of transforming from a snake to a dragon is essentially the process by which an ordinary person achieves success and becomes a god.
For thousands of years, no one could decide between the two claims, because dragons and gods were already legends. No one could provide strong evidence, and now they are used as a joke.
But today, Yongjin got to see a real dragon. He couldn’t help but be surprised.
I was surprised by the existence of the Kyorong itself, and at the same time, I was surprised by the power of the Hyuncheon Dojong. It was completely unexpected that they had a powerful 10th-grade demon beast like the Kyorong.
However, I was able to calm down quickly. This was not the first time I had encountered such a terrifying being. On the other hand, the Dragon Blood Warriors’ faces changed slightly. They felt like their heads would burst when they faced a level 10 demon at such close range.
The other disciples were even more miserable. Their faces turned pale, and they had difficulty breathing. Some of them could not even stand properly.
“I ask of you two seniors.”
Mok Cheong-hwan greeted the two demons politely.
“Okay, let’s start the examination right away. We have to go back and practice too.”
When one sea dragon spoke, many people were surprised and fell to their knees.
For many practitioners, it was unimaginable that a demon could speak human language.
“yes.”
After Mok Cheong-hwan politely answered and waved his hand, numerous sections on the stairs began to glow. However, the light quickly disappeared, and it seemed as if nothing had happened. However, Yong-jin could feel that some kind of power had been given to this long staircase.
“Okay, the final examination has begun. Pass through the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of heaven!”
Mok Cheong-hwan shouted with a meaningful expression.
