Episode 21
Seven Chains Hwangungjin.
In Zhuge family’s visionary formation, seven people become the central axis of the formation, each managing a world of formation. The seven formation worlds that were formed were interlocked like cogs, and unless a certain time came or the formation itself was completely destroyed by force, no one could move to another world except the seven who were in charge of the formation.
Due to these characteristics, the Seven Shattered Hwangungjin came to be used in the Tang family’s Sojiajou competition. Although it is no longer called Sega, Dangga was also a large samurai family that existed for a long time. It was natural for all sorts of people to be involved in the race for the position of the next head of the family. Moreover, since there were many factions of the Four Sects in Sacheon, they tried to ensure the fairness of the competition and the safety of the participants by borrowing the help of the Zhuge family.
Of course, Zhuge Ga dispatched seven men who would become the axes of the battle along with the Seven Chains of War, saying he was repaying the material debt he had owed, but in fact, if you look inside, it was not all good intentions.
As expected, the seven who were dispatched were among the most well-versed in the art of battle, even among the Zhuge family. In a situation where the fortunes are declining, are you willing to take a significant gap in military power simply to repay a favor?
It would be reasonable to assume that there was something up to it.

A man was walking offering advice. Mysteriously, every time he walked, the surrounding scene was slightly distorted, which meant that he was moving with a clear understanding of the ever-changing nature of the formation. In fact, this was possible because he was the main figure of the True Law Seven Chains Ring Palace.
He continued to walk without being disturbed even though the scenery changed several times, and only stopped when the scenery changed for the eighth time.
“Everyone is here.”
The Nie Xian man, Zhuge Changxin, said.
Before he knew it, he had arrived in a room where there was a large round table. There were six people sitting in front of the round table. They were all figures of the Zhuge family who had been dispatched to the Tang family’s Sojiajou contest, and when they saw Zhuge Changxin, they stood up and greeted him.
“Are you from Jeonju?”
“long time no see.”
“I’m glad you’ve corrected that.”
Everyone smiles and speaks highly as if they were talking to adults. Although they were all of similar age, Zhuge Changxin held the highest position among them. Zhuge Changsin was the head of the Zhuge family’s Muryangjeon (無量殿). Muryangjeon was an exhibition where only those who had mastered the Jinbeop of the Zhuge family were gathered together, and it goes without saying how powerful the master of the place, Zhuge Changsin, was.
Zhuge Changxin nodded and received greetings.
“It’s been half a year, everyone. The mission seems to be carrying out smoothly.”
“Yes, Jeonju.”
The seven battle ring battles were elaborate battle formations. Even among the members of the Zhuge family, if all seven of them wanted to meet at the same time at the same time, it would only be possible once every six months. It seemed like it was today.
However, there was something unusual about Zhuge Changxin’s words.
He said ‘mission’.
Does that mean that the sending of figures from the Zhuge family to the Tang family’s Sojiajou contest was not purely out of good will…?
Zhuge Changxin winked at a man and said.
“Then, let’s listen to the report from the first group. Is there really a talent that we can recruit?”
“Yes. First of all, the one worth noting is No. 2. She has miserable skin, as if she has been poisoned by some kind of terrible poison, and she is always burning with hostility towards someone. She is using those feelings as firewood to improve her skills at an incredible rate. ….”
One by one, the men came forward and began to recite about the contestants in their group. We mainly talked about who has what level of skill and how quickly they are growing. As they were the administrators of the Seven Chains Ring Palace, they were able to evaluate the contestants hidden within the battle formation.
‘No. 2 and No. 10 stand out. We should keep the possibility open for issues 18 and 22 as well.’
Zhuge Changxin selected notable talents based on the stories he heard from the men. All seven groups participating in the competition were going through the same ordeal. They were thrown off cliffs and into caves, and had to hunt wild animals for food. In order to return to the manor where a comfortable sleep was guaranteed, I had to pass a test.
It was clear that it was a harsh environment for boys and girls aged between twelve and sixteen at most. In fact, several participants died after being bitten by wild beasts. Although he died in vain without being able to fully develop his talents, it was not without meaning. The members of the group with the dead participant probably felt a sense of crisis because their skills improved very quickly.
Numbers 2 and 10 were talented people who passed the exam in just one month and returned to the manor. Issues 18 and 22 took a little longer than that, but they passed the test much faster than the other participants.
But why is the Zhuge family tracking the contestants in such detail?
‘No. 2 would be good to work on. I heard you have a hideous appearance. I guess I can connect with Baekseon. ‘It’s also a girl.’
One person that came to mind for Zhuge Changxin was his tall nephew. Zhuge Baeksun was born with a handsome face that made one wonder if he was the reincarnation of Song Yu, but his martial arts and martial arts skills were at an average level. If we use him, wouldn’t we be able to easily shake a young girl’s guard?
In fact, the Zhuge family was much more in decline than was known. There was help from the party, but it was just pouring water into a bottomless pot and urinating on frozen feet. However, the party, which was also in decline, was in a position where it could not provide any more help than it already had.
At a time when even the family’s survival was at risk, there was a reason why the Zhuge family even risked the military vacuum and dispatched seven people, including Zhuge Changxin, to compete for the Tang family’s Sojiajou title.
Eating the whole Danga…!
In the Zhuge family, there were many people whose brains were extraordinary, if not for anything else. It has been a long time since I realized the significance of this Sogaju competition for the party. The silent conflict between the vested interests, including the Presbyterian Church, and the young warriors, the power struggle between the elders, legitimacy…
It even goes as far as to say that the winner of the small family stock competition becomes the next owner of Tang family.
What Zhuge Family was aiming for was a talent who would become the winner of the Sojiju competition. To be more precise, it should be said to be a boy or girl who shows the ‘potential’ to become the winner.
As the competition takes place within the realm of the Seven Chains of War, Zhuge Family was able to make that possibility a reality. Couldn’t we make a deal that would be mutually beneficial?
First, he selects a suitable person and helps him win the competition, and in return, he makes a betrothal to the person of the Zhuge family. If you marry like that and have a child, that child will become the legitimate successor to the Tang family, no matter what anyone says. And from then on, Zhuge Ga was going to act as Ai’s maternal relative. He planned to increase his voice in the party and take advantage of various interests to swallow up the metallurgical party.
‘In the future, the party family and the main family will be merged.’
If the Zhuge family, the master of Jinbeop and organ Jinsik, and the Tang family, the master of poison and memorization, are completely merged, they may emerge as a new family – that was the general opinion of the Zhuge family leaders. The compatibility between the families is good.
Of course, in order to make such a plan a success, it was the most important task to select talented people from the party who showed potential, even though it was in its early stages.
‘I don’t think there is any participant as extraordinary as No. 28…’
Zhuge Changxin thought of a boy who stood out in the seven groups he was in charge of. Those in charge of other groups now can’t even imagine it. It is unlikely that there will be a participant who passes the test in one day and returns to the manor. When he demonstrated the art of wearing clothes, even Zhuge Changxin was quite surprised. It was an art only seen among famous swordsmen.
I remember feeling quite sad when I found out that Boy No. 28’s lecture on clothing had ended while he was away for a while.
Originally, the best participants would have been excluded from their plans. Because there was no reason to accept Zhuge Family’s offer. What Zhuge Jia should consider was the second or third best among the contestants. These are people who desperately need Zhuge Family’s help to win the competition.
However, the shining qualities of Boy No. 28 made Zhuge Changxin worry. It was clear that he had overwhelmingly superior skills than No. 2 or No. 10. Nowadays, it seems that Bongguardae warrior Dangwonjin is also pouring his heart into No. 28. So much so that I wonder if they are considering it as a half-baked Sogaju.
If he really has such outstanding qualities, wouldn’t it be right to push Boy No. 28 to become the head of the family? You may not be able to take on a lot of debt.
After thinking for a while, Zhuge Changxin made a decision. I decided to kill two birds with one stone.
‘First of all, number 28 is excluded from the target. The goal is to help No. 2 or No. 10, or both, win the competition. No matter how good you are, you’re still just a child, so things will go as we want.’
Zhuge Changxin had several means to help No. 2 or No. 10. In the final hurdle of the competition, the struggle for survival, he could have helped by using his personal strategy, and he could have increased his endurance with Zhuge’s secret elixir. If such help is added, wouldn’t No. 2 or No. 10, which is ‘slightly’ inferior to No. 28, be able to win the competition?
‘No, we will definitely win.’
After that, No. 28, who did not win the competition, is recruited to Zhuge Family. I don’t know the exact blood relationship, but if he came from an insignificant collateral lineage, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to adopt him. Judging by his participation in the competition, he must have some ambition, but wouldn’t he be quick to bite if I were to give him the position of head of the Zhuge family as bait?
‘…It’s a good plan.’
A person who is related to the Zhuge family is placed in the position of the head of the Tang family, and the best talent of the Tang family, who should have won the original competition, is taken away to the Zhuge family…!
It seemed possible to once again create controversy over the position of the next head of the party by using Boy No. 28 in the future. I had no idea that this could be a means of controlling Sogaju.
This is a great plan in many ways. Thinking like that, Zhuge Changxin let out a satisfied smile. Soon, a sharp line spread out and covered his mouth, which was drawn in an arc.

Whoop-
A boy memorizes fine needles and sprinkles a handful of feather needles into the air.
Is it because of his career history? The downhill needles rise to heights that would normally not be possible due to wind or other factors.
It was originally so thin that it was difficult for even those with good eyesight to identify the feather needle, but throwing it into the air like this made it even more difficult to find. Of course, the boy recognized each and every one of them with an overwhelming feeling.
‘Nak(落).’
Muttering softly to myself, I quickly grasped my right hand, which had been scattered in the air. Raindrops began to fall in the air. Rain of feathers scattering and falling to the ground.

It was a new type of memorized martial arts named Naturally, Cowmochimwoo (牛毛針雨). The Yeongyeonryun he learned from Dang Won-jin played a big role in the boy’s creation of memorized martial arts. Since memorization could be connected to the thread of energy and manipulated as intended, various movements were possible.
The first memorized martial arts piece I made was called Hoeseonnanmupyo (回旋亂舞鏢), but it was burdensome to perform it multiple times with the skills I had yet to learn, so I made Umochimwoo. If you are targeting a single opponent, the line-free vote may be much more powerful, but if you are dealing with an unspecified number of people, it is better to use a random number of lines.
Unless the opponent had the light attack ability to avoid the shower, it would not be possible to completely avoid the downpour. The problem is lethality…
Yeon Myeong decided that it was time to learn about poison.
Not only to further increase the killing power of memorized martial arts, but also to improve internal strength.
The poison madness he possessed was an energy that grew from eating poison.
