Part 2 Episode 69
a huge task
Most people like to evaluate the abilities of those working in their profession or fields of interest.
I prefer dividing ranks based on that evaluation.
However, each person has a different perspective and the quality and amount of information that serves as the basis for judgment vary greatly.
In addition, selfishness due to blood ties, regional ties, school ties, etc. are mixed in.
Naturally, each person had no choice but to pick a different list, compare it to others, and start arguing.
The most reliable way to divide the ranks is to gather all the subjects from all over the world at once on one day and have them compete, but is that possible?
In the end, they are roughly lumped together after numerous heated arguments and compromises. In the case of martial arts, one example is Sipjon (十尊), the ten greatest martial arts martial arts experts, and Palsa (八邪), the eight great martial arts masters of Sapa.
The problem starts here.
The people who were chosen did it for fun, but is it possible for the people involved to have fun as well?
‘I’m on the same level as them?’
‘Have you seen these crazy people!’
‘There are degrees of sprained eyes!’
In fact, there were many incorrect evaluations.
Even if it was a correct assessment, I didn’t want to accept it.
If you take away pride from the martial arts people, what would be left?
It was a life-or-death struggle to prove that he was better.
‘omg. omg. I won! I’m above!’
It was a moment to be happy after killing the expert who was tied together.
People like to match numbers, so after another heated debate and compromise, a new person was put in.
‘This is crazy… … .’
‘You deleted at least one thing and then added something even more absurd?’
As these events have been repeated for a long time, the evaluated experts have come to enlightenment.
Unless it was something truly outrageous, I just snorted and passed on.
‘What are we doing fighting each other?’
‘I can’t be a plaything anymore. You guys do what you want.’
Peace has come to Gangho.
Some people lamented that experts these days have no ambition or pride, but what do they know? These days, from the experts’ point of view, if they fight, they only lose.
However, the case of the imperial palace experts was different.
Although their origins and affiliations were different, they were the emperor’s sword and shield.
In order to protect the emperor, they had to accurately understand each other’s abilities.
Because we were together in the limited space of the imperial palace, it was easy to compete.
Of course, I heard that the imperial palace warriors also liked guessing numbers, so there was a large difference in skill even among the imperial palace’s top ten masters… … .
Jeong Gwang looked at the Geumwiwi commander and asked openly.
“I heard that the commander is the best among the ten imperial palace masters. Is that right?”
“You said you were the one left and you made it sound like we were competing, but then you asked the wrong thing.”
The commander nodded and shook his head.
“Yes and no.”
“why?”
“Because I have never competed with life or death.”
“ah. “You’re the best in non-mulling, but you’re saying you don’t know because you’ve never dealt with life-or-death issues.”
“Yes.”
Jeong Gwang raised one corner of his mouth.
“What do you expect will happen if you fight with your heart?”
“I never thought a master like you would ask such a stupid question.”
The commander frowned and continued speaking.
“Each person’s organs are different, and depending on their compatibility, unexpected results can occur, which is a matter of life and death. “Isn’t it something you have to try to know?”
“haha. “It is true.”
Jeong Gwang liked the commander.
It’s not easy to evaluate yourself calmly. Even though you provoked him, he didn’t respond properly.
“Commander, then let’s begin.”
“Does this mean that the two of you will compete?”
“yes.”
The commander frowned.
“You disappoint me. We have to win by pointing out the loopholes in the Manchurian border plan. “You’re trying to solve it with a secret weapon because you’re worried that Kang-ho’s status is not good.”
“yes? “What do you mean?”
With a puzzled expression, Jeong Gwang pointed to the Geumwiwi officers still in formation.
“If it goes according to the plan, the Emperor is at the end of that formation. “The commander is next to him.”
“however?”
“Let’s say they’ve already broken through. “I told you to fight because you have to deal with the commander next.”
“… … !”
The faces of the Gold Council officers hardened.
They were all children of prestigious families and talented people who had passed the military service examination.
That’s it. He was a military officer who was outstanding enough to be appointed to the most important positions, the Geumwiwi Commission, but when would he ever be insulted like this?
One of the angry militants warned Jeong Gwang.
“Jinokryong. Your fame has stung my ears. But no matter how great you are, you cannot insult us.”
“I wasn’t insulting you, I was telling you the truth.”

A vein bulged on the warrior’s temple.
“A warrior speaks with his skills. Prove it.”
“You don’t want to get hurt. What are we doing together on the same side? … .”
The commander was about to say another word, but the commander stopped him.
“stop.”
“insect!”
The commander took a step forward.
After reaching the end of the formation, he returned the new form and made a request to Jeong Gwang.
“Prove it.”
“There’s nothing I can’t do. With a real sword?”
“of course.”
If they ask me to do something like this, is there any need to refuse?
“Of course.”
Jeong Gwang immediately unfolded his cloud-sea flight and flew over the military commanders.
The officers who had stopped because they did not know that he could move so quickly came to their senses and responded immediately.
“Let’s go!”
With the cry of a white tiger, dozens of spear blades shot out simultaneously, making a sharp sound.
A blow delivered with the military’s unique, unerring march with the same level of prowess as a martial artist!
The enemy should have been taken aback by this move, which combined the strengths of martial arts and the military, and levitated his body in the air.
The concentrate was different.
“Yeocha.”
As he bent his body backwards like a bow and then forward, his new form shot out like an arrow.
‘Gungsintanyeong(弓身彈影)!’
The soldiers who pierced the air as the light passed by opened their eyes and shouted inwardly.
‘At this moment, I can’t believe it’s Tanyoung!’
‘That too so quickly!’
‘It’s worse than the rumors!’
It is a widely known fact that the recluse of Jinyukryong is Kunlun.
When it flew overhead, I thought it would dodge the spear’s blade by unfolding Kunlun’s famous Cloud Dragon Strike, but I never thought it would double its speed with Gunshin Bullet!
Cheonho (千戶), who was raising his strength at the back of the formation, glared at Jeong Gwang, who suddenly approached him, and gave an order.
“True!”
Dozens of provinces flew through the air, forming a net.
It is so dense that not even the wind can escape, let alone people!
Because it had been spread out in advance, it was a situation where Jeonggwang could not pass through even if he increased his speed like before.
Jeong Gwang’s new model, which was flying, suddenly stopped and fell violently, landing on the ground.
‘Cheongeunchu (千斤錘)!’
The military officers’ mouths dropped open.
You made a strict siege over your head, but now you’re down on the ground?
‘Is there a weight that falls down so quickly?’
‘this! We have to stop him before he gets in!’
They quickly lowered their swords to protect the front.
“With numbers like this, it’s worth a try.”
Jeong Gwang was already moving and shouting.
“You’d better bite down on your molars!”
Would a tiger that jumped into a flock of sheep be like this?
Jeong Gwang weaved his way through the ranks of the soldiers and carefully punched them.
It was a flashy yet elegant cold fist.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-baak!
“Aaaah!”
The soldiers who were hit by the fists screamed and flew away.
Death appeared in the eyes of the other officers.
“You’re using such a vicious trick!”
“There is nothing wrong with the rumors!”
Jeong Gwang responded without stopping punching.
“You put so much care into controlling it, but then you criticize people like that? “The person who got hit is no different from a noble person, so you must not intervene again!”
Do you control it with care?
what?
The militants soon found out.
Colleagues who had been flung to the floor were groaning and getting up.
“Hey, look. “Are you okay?”
The general, who stood up while stroking his ribs, answered with an absurd expression.
“It was a huge blow, but it didn’t break. How on earth did you manage your inner strength? … .”
Only then did the military officers understand Jeong Gwang’s words.
At the same time, the evaluation of the concentrate was revised.
‘You kept things in your hands even while consuming your internal energy.’
‘They say you shouldn’t take rumors literally.’
But the pain at the moment of being hit was terrible.
“Ugh!”
“Ahh!”
“You hurt so much!”
Jeong Gwang was considerate of them in the future, but was ruthless towards them in the present.
As the festivals of Kunlun unfolded, the sound of songs of various pitches rang out.
Fear began to form in the officers’ eyes.
‘They say he’s the greatest genius of all time!’
‘Was it really true?’
Jeong Gwang’s formidable prowess wasn’t limited to punching.
“I have to conserve my strength to deal with the commander. “I’ll go easily.”
easily?
What else are you going to do?
The moment everyone was puzzled, Jeong Gwang’s new form scattered like dust and disappeared.
‘Nonsense!’
‘It’s a stealth technique!’
A disciple of the Kunlun Sect, one of the most prestigious Nine Sects and a sacred place in Taoism, uses the art of hiding!
‘Damn it! ‘Where is it?’
‘I can’t feel it!’
‘What kind of disgrace is this!’
Unlike the shocked officers, the commander at the back watched the situation with a calm face.
However, on the inside, he was very surprised.
‘I knew you were strong, but are you toying with the eight golden guards like this?’
Even though it is said that it is only one camp out of eight camps and it was spread informally, how could something like this happen?
‘We are being harassed by true attacks using divine techniques and martial arts, and are also harassed by dark attacks using stealth techniques. I have to stop it.’
Assuming that it was actually Mansu Day (萬壽節), the emperor was sitting behind the commander.
‘If I am pierced, His Majesty the Emperor will perish.’
According to the original plan, Imperial Guardian Am-eung Il-ho would have been in hiding, and Tae-gam Byeong-pil and Commander Eorim-gun would have been present as well, but it had to be assumed that they were not there.
You can’t make that excuse after being harmed by just one person, right?
‘Where are you?’
The inner strength was managed more delicately and the sense of spirit was expanded.
‘It’s here!’
The commander’s eyes lit up and a flash of light rose from his belt.
The treasured sword that came out of its scabbard cut into the air on the left with terrifying force.
Whoops!
Sparks flew out with an ear-piercing roar.
The spark died down and Jeong Gwang, clutching the cloud serpent, appeared.
“this. “Is this the end?”
“What more do you want?”
“As you know.”
“conflict!”
The commander’s sword fell with the power to split heaven and earth.
The cloud dragon poured out dazzling golden light and taunted the world along the path of the Yuryong Sword.
Swords clashed with swords, and people became entangled.
As the commander fought back without being pushed back even an inch, a smile appeared on Jeong Gwang’s lips.
‘I have a useful sword. ‘This is how it’s fun.’
It wasn’t as good as the Cloud Serpent, but it was worthy of being called a treasured sword.
‘The person who uses it is even greater.’
The commander was strong enough to be called the best expert in the imperial palace.
But there were obvious limitations.
He was dealing with the concentration by drawing an imaginary circle about one length in diameter and moving only within it.
At the center of that circle would be the emperor.
‘If you try to protect the emperor like that, the martial arts you can use will inevitably be limited.’
In essence, protecting people is more difficult than killing them.
The opponent was strong enough to want to fight for life or death, but why fight with such excitement?
But concentrate was possible.
‘We fight with the taste of one-sided defeat.’
He circled around the commander and unleashed a series of strong sword strikes.
The commander had to accept them all without any hesitation.
There was a big difference between Jeong Gwang, who took a step or two back every time a clash occurred and was shocked, and the commander, who could not take even a single step back.
‘good. It tastes so good.’
I wanted to beat and beat and beat again.
If it goes even a little further, the commander will suffer internal injuries.
Is it possible to waste useful words like this?
Jeong Gwang jumped back and grabbed the cloud dragon upside down.
“Thank you for looking into the situation.”
The military officers who were watching with fascinated expressions opened their mouths.
‘What do you do after beating them unilaterally?’
‘If the commander had done it right, do you think you would have been able to stand like that!’
However, the commander judged the situation calmly.
‘Strong. ‘More than you think.’
Still, if you fight without the burden of being an emperor, you can compete with your whistle… … .
‘You’re thinking about useless things.’
The commander inwardly shook his head.
What’s the use of that?
He is not a warrior, but the sword and shield of the emperor.
‘He got this far, so it’s as good as losing.’
Jeong Gwang is a master of poison attack.
Would the emperor be safe if poison was sprayed on him?
Moreover, the place where Jeong Gwang was currently sitting was where the crown prince and grandson would be sitting.
‘It’s an irreverent thought, but it’s a worse result for Daemyung.’
Even if heavenly luck helps save the emperor, in this case the crown prince and grandson are mortal.
Even if the crown prince had not long left to live, his death was a big problem.
‘As a subject, I shouldn’t think like this. There is no one as talented as His Majesty Hwang Tae-son.’
Of course, in a real situation, other experts would have protected the crown prince and grandson, but there was no one among them who could stop Jeong Gwang.
‘Uhm. Why did this guy go to such lengths… … .’
The commander’s eyes shone coldly.
“If the famous church sends assassins, does that mean they will target not only the emperor but also others?”
“yes.”
“I can’t believe they have that kind of ability.”
“Actually, I am like that too. But we have to assume the worst and prepare.”
“… … .”
The commander who lived and will continue to live for the emperor and Daemyung had no choice but to acknowledge it.
“You are right. “You have proven your ability, so do as you wish.”
Jeong Gwang grinned.
“It’s dinner time. Let’s eat first.”
The commander raised his head and looked at the setting sun.
“It’s already so late. good night. “We have to join forces for a while, so let’s get to know each other and work together.”
The commander turned his gaze and stared at the officers under his command.
“We were defeated by the True Jade Dragon.”
“… … .”
“His ability is greater than ours, so he will revise the All Saints’ Day vigilance plan.”
“… … .”
“I hope everyone will follow Jin Yulong’s words and keep his Majesty’s name. “Is there anyone who has a different opinion?”
As the commander continued speaking, the officers, who had sad expressions, shouted in unison.
“doesn’t exist!”
“okay. This is not the time to be needlessly proud. “I’m proud of you guys.”
The commander looked around at his subordinates with passionate eyes and then spoke to Jeong Gwang.
“let’s go.”
“Hey, Commander.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Where do I eat?”
“If you go outside the training center and go a short distance, you will find the Geumwiwi Restaurant. Is there any problem?”
Jeong Gwang looked at me with a straight face and waved his hand.
“We eat separately. “I have an important mission.”
“A huge mission?”
“I need to do something to help the Crown Prince descend.”
* * *
Jeong Gwang entered the imperial palace and headed to Danbon Palace.
‘Why do you eat something that tastes bad instead of something that tastes good?’
I walk diligently, imagining what today’s dish will be.
A tall eunuch approached and whispered in a voice as loud as a mosquito.
It was an evolution.
“Jinokryong. “Strange behavior was detected in the royal palace.”
