Episode 138: Taking the Preliminary Exam

Inside the waiting room.

After completing the preliminary tests for groups 1 through 4, it was finally group 5’s turn, which Gu-Hwi belonged to.

Gu Hui and the five examinees left the waiting room, following Eun Kyung Gak’s attendants.

A while later, they arrived at the preliminary examination site.

There is a large rock in the center of the training ground. It is about the size of four adult men combined. It must weigh at least 500 pounds.

On one side, three men sit around a table.

They are the examiners of the preliminary exam.

They are the elders of Gyeongcheonmasung and the heads of the Gyeongcheonshipga.

Elder Lee, a student of the Nine Yin Demon Path

The Five Elders’ Wind and Thunder Flying Sword (風雷飛刀) Cold Oil Pipe

The Great Blood Lord of the Paljangro, Geumgyo-gun

They all possess worldly skills that are at their peak. They are the masters representing Daemak.

Eun Kyung Gak’s attendant explained to the five soldiers.

“The first test item is ‘moving a rock’. If you pick up a rock from the ground and move it 5 steps (15m), you pass. You cannot put the rock down once you have lifted it. If you put the rock down before moving it 5 steps, you fail. Also, rolling the rock is prohibited.”

The first was a test to see the depth of one’s history.

The power of one’s internal energy varies depending on the method one possesses.

You need to have high internal energy to be able to lift and move a rock.

Occasionally, there are those who have weak internal strength but strong external strength, and pass the test by lifting and moving a rock using only their physical strength.

The attendant called each person’s name one by one to take the test.

Gu Hui took the test for the fifteenth time.

Gu-Hui approaches the rock.

It raises energy. A faint hint of confusion has formed in the superior.

Just dig your finger into the rock.

– Thud!

And he lifted the rock up.

– Ugh.

A strange sight appeared in the eyes of the judges.

How can he have such a calm expression while carrying a rock weighing 500 pounds?

It’s quite a lot.

But, will he be able to maintain that expression while moving through Chapter 5?

The judges guessed that it would be impossible.

But then, a completely unexpected sight unfolded.

– Pot!

A new form of Gu-Hui soaring into the air while holding a rock.

It only lands on 5 of these.

– Pot!

The landing sounded soft, like a feather falling.

The eyes of the five examinees and examiners opened wide.

‘Ohh… .’

‘What a great divination… .’

The judges were impressed.

He jumped into the air holding a 500-pound rock and landed on only 5 feet at a time. What was even more surprising was that the landing sounded as light as a feather.

The examiners nodded repeatedly and acknowledged Gu-Hui’s skills. There aren’t many candidates with that level of skill.

The examiners checked the list on the table.

And among the judges, Elder Gu Eum Madou said to Gu Hui.

“The Ten-Shot Bloodthirsty King Jeong, you have passed.”

Gu Hui took the lottery.

The five elders, the wind and rain demons, muttered as they spoke.

“You mean the ten seasons? You mean the ten seasons?”

Gu-Hui nodded.

“Yes, I use ten weapons and unfold their seasons.”

“Wow, you have ten different weapon techniques. That’s amazing. I hope you pass all the preliminary tests and show off your various weapon techniques in the main competition. You passed the first test.”

“Thank you.”

After all five groups of unmanned personnel took the first test, those who passed and those who failed were divided.

The number of people who passed the first test and took the second test was 22.

The second test was conducted immediately.

The attendants of the Gyeongcheonmasung came carrying 23 teacups. They handed the teacups to the examinees.

The teacup was half full of dark water.

The attendant said.

“The black liquid in the teacup is the venom extracted from the body of the black rat. If you drink the venom, you will feel a terrible, excruciating pain as if your internal organs are twisting. After drinking the venom, the examinees must hold out for 15 minutes. If you fall to the floor or groan, you will fail. You must stand on both feet. It is possible to expel the venom from your body using your internal energy.”

The second test was a test to see if you have a tolerance to poison.

The Black Book refers to a black rat. It contains a deadly poison that causes extreme pain. Those who are not resistant to the poison can die.

The candidates in Group 5 were nervous.

You have to drink the poison of the Black Book, which is said to cause the most terrible pain… .

I promised myself that although it would be painful, I would endure it.

The attendant said as the judges watched.

“Get started.”

The five examinees drank the poison from the black book in one gulp.

After about the time it took to count to ten, they felt an excruciating pain coming on them.

It was a pain that felt like my insides were being twisted and torn apart.

Unable to even groan, they began to grit their teeth and endure.

Among them, those with excellent internal energy management skills began to find the Black Book poison that had spread throughout their bodies and push it out of their pores. However, that process was not easy either.

About half an hour had passed.

In the end, there were many dropouts.

“Cruelup….”

A person who falls to the floor while foaming at the mouth.

– Kwaruru…

A person who has diarrhea due to excruciating pain that stimulates the intestines.

“Kkaaaah!”

One who cannot bear the pain and eventually screams.

– Roll, roll! Roll, roll!

A person who rolls around on the floor and trembles.

Applicants kept falling down.

There are 14 people remaining.

They had significantly reduced pain because they had flushed a significant amount of venom that had entered their bodies out of their pores.

Now it was a little bearable.

The floor they stood on was covered with venom that they had expelled from their bodies.

The examiners who were looking over the candidates who had expelled the venom from their bodies suddenly looked at Gu-Hui and were taken aback.

Gu Hui stood with a calm expression. Unlike the others, he did not expel the venom from his body.

Since it was a body full of poisonous blood, there was no need to expel it.

The examiners were amazed and muttered to themselves when they saw that no venom had been discharged from Gu Hui’s body.

‘Indeed… Wang Jeong, the bloodthirsty king, is someone worth keeping an eye on.’

‘Seeing that he is standing still without expelling the poison from the Black Book, he must have achieved the status of a body impervious to white poison. How amazing.’

Time passed, and the second test was over.

In the end, 14 people, including Gu-Hwi, passed the test.

The third test was prepared immediately.

The attendants brought a huge jar. It was filled with water. And in the middle of the water, an iron pillar was fixed vertically.

The attendant spoke to the candidates.

“I will explain the third test. When your name is called, come out one by one. Then, strike the jar. If you shake the vertical iron pillar in the water, you pass. If the jar breaks, you fail.”

The third test was a test of one’s ability to handle internal forces.

In order to shake an iron pillar fixed in water by striking a jar, one had to know how to deploy a technique called the art of striking, or Gyeoksan Tau.

Gyeoksan Tau means hitting a mountain and hitting the cows on the other side.

If you can demonstrate this skill, you can be recognized as one of the masters.

Under the watchful eyes of the examiners, the remaining five drones began taking the test one by one.

– Thud! Thud!

When the jar was struck, water poured out. The iron pillar remained motionless.

“Eliminated! Next!”

– Boohoo!

A jar that shatters into pieces.

The force of the internal force was not transmitted to the iron pillar.

Repeated failures.

Occasionally, there were those who succeeded.

– Thud! Brrrr…

The jar was intact, but the iron pillar inside was shaking.

The attendant shouted.

“Qinlingmajang (秦嶺魔掌) passes the Jongjiak!”

“Passing the Four Great Extremes with No Shadow Blood Palm!”

So the successful and unsuccessful candidates were divided, and soon it was time for the oral exam.

The judges looked with interest at Gu-Hui’s appearance.

I was curious to see how far he could manipulate his internal energy.

Gu-Hui standing in front of the jar.

Place the oxtail lightly in the jar.

– chin.

And then he let go.

That was it. There was no price.

I wondered what those people were.

But, the next moment, an amazing sight unfolded.

– Boohoo!!

An iron pillar suddenly burst into pieces. Iron shards flew into the air.

The jar, on the other hand, was intact.

Silence flowed through the room.

The people’s eyes widened.

A sight that is hard to believe even after seeing it with your own eyes.

It would be hard to even shake that thick iron pillar, but to break it in one fell swoop…!

How deep must one’s internal energy be to be able to perform such a skill?

The judges felt that Gu-Hui’s skills were better than they had thought.

The attendant, who had been looking blank, soon came to his senses and shouted.

“Poetry, the ten-year-old bloodthirsty king, pass!”

Finally, the fourth test remains.

The attendant spoke to the six remaining candidates.

“I will explain the final 4th test. In the 4th test, one of the examiners will show you the intermediate swordsmanship of the Kyungcheonmaseong. After watching the swordsmanship, you will be asked to describe how you will respond.”

The fourth test was an oral exam.

It is about watching the elders display their swordsmanship and verbally explaining how to respond to it.

If the explanation was convincing to the elders, it would have passed.

The attendant moved five of the six candidates to the waiting room.

It was to avoid previewing the inspection.

The examinees who had been waiting in the waiting room moved into the testing room one by one.

Half an hour passed like that, and finally it was Gu-Hui’s turn.

Gu-Hwi returns to the testing center following the attendant.

The judges looked at Gu-hwi with interest.

I wondered what kind of answer the king would give.

The examiners took turns inspecting the items one by one.

This time, it was the turn of the great blood lord, Geumgyo-gun, who was the elder of the eight clans.

Daemakhyeolgun, who had climbed up the training ground, spoke to Guhwi.

“Let’s get started. Watch carefully.”

Gu-Hui nodded.

The sword in Daemakhyeolgun’s hand kept flashing.

– Sugar cube! Shuak! Wedge! Swish!

Countless slashes that cut through the air.

It was fast and smooth. It also had a sense of seriousness. When aiming for the opponent’s weak point and stabbing, a powerful force suddenly swept over him.

It created the illusion that a violent torrent was sweeping away the land.

This sword technique was the first step towards becoming a master of the Flying Stream Sword Technique, which was practiced by mid-level warriors of the Gyeongcheonmaseong.

The Great Blood Army stopped its inspection.

The response is lukewarm.

Daemakhyeolgun’s pride was slightly hurt.

Even though it is an intermediate level swordsmanship of the Nine Heavenly Demons, he doesn’t show any expression of admiration after seeing the swordsmanship he personally displayed. How arrogant.

Daemakhyeolgun asked Guhwi.

“Now tell me. How will you destroy the sword of the Biryu Sword Technique?”

Gu-Hui’s honest feelings were like this.

‘Just cut it down faster.’

At the very moment when the Great Sword was about to deploy its sword, I thought that I could just cut it down faster.

What others might think is absurd is actually possible for Gu Hui, a master of the art of entry.

The overwhelming speed gap made it possible.

But Gu-Hui doesn’t plan on saying that.

Because if I say it like that, it’s clear that no one will be convinced.

‘I guess I’ll have to explain it in a convincing way.’

Gu-Hui, who had gathered his thoughts, answered.

“The first movement of the Biryu Sword Technique that you just performed, Your Excellency, consists of twenty-two movements. First, you performed the sword technique of stabbing four vital points with the sword. You aimed for Cheonchu, Gimun, Jungbu, and Cheondol in that order. I initially aimed for Cheonchu and used the sword technique to block the stabbing. Then, the sword would bounce upwards, and you would not be able to continue with the next movement. Next, I….”

That was when.

Daemakhyeolgun cut off Guhwi’s words.

“Wait a minute! You’re going to block the sword strike aimed at Cheonchu with the retreat method?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Daemakhyeolgun made a face of bewilderment.

“That’s impossible. To begin with, your retreat is not even faster than my swordsmanship, and if you kick the sword with your foot, your foot will get cut. Say something that makes sense.”

Gu-Hui answered with unwavering eyes.

“It is possible for me.”

Daemakhyeolgun’s eyes twitched.

“If you answer like that, you’ll be eliminated.”

“I was just talking about what was possible.”

Daemakhyeolgun asked in a low, hushed tone.

“Well, can you prove to me that your theory is actually possible?”

“If you wish, I will do so. But promise me.”

“What promise?”

“If my theory is proven, please let me pass. Even if you get seriously injured because of me.”

Suddenly, the Great Blood Army burst into flames.

“Hahaha! Injury? Are you talking about Bon Noh? Hahaha! That’s funny. Okay, if you can prove it, I promise you’ll pass. But you have to be prepared. You could die.”

Daemakhyeolgun intends to flatten Guhwi’s nose.

‘I guess I’ll have to cut off one of my arms to feel better.’

Gu-Hui nodded.

“Do as you wish.”

The two judges looked interested.

Gu Hui and Daemakhyeolgun distanced themselves.

The Great Blood Army said.

“Let’s get started.”

“Come in.”

The new form of the Daemak Blood Army was quickly shot out. The sword technique of the Biryu Sword Technique was unfolded from his sword. The red energy-filled sword pierced Gu Hui’s Cheonchu point.

– Shuaak!

The corners of Daemakhyeolgun’s mouth went up.

‘You idiot! You’re going to kick my sword with a retreat? Do you think that’s possible? Hehe.’

Of course, that would be impossible.

Daemakhyeolgun was certain that Gu-hui’s foot would be cut in half.

For a moment, Gu-Hui’s feet shook.
