//Hi, I am sorry for no updates over the past few days. I got accepted into the university I wanted to attend, so I've been quite busy with the admission process. But from now on, I will update chapters regularly and 5 chapters a week .

I know this is a short chapter, but another one is coming today.

Hyun Yong was astonished by the fight unfolding in front of him. As he devoted most of his time to finance, he became the weakest elder, so he didn't understand what the hell just happened. For a moment, he might have believed that Yoon Jong, Jo Gul, or even Shisui could win against the Southern Edge Sect, but Chung Myung, and this overwhelmingly? This really caught him off guard.

He turned towards the sect leader to ask about Chung Myung's capabilities, but they were more shocked than him, as they clearly understood the gap between Chung Myung and the Southern Edge Sect disciple, which was quite big, and this didn't make sense. They tried to deny it, but the result was in front of them.

Hyun Sang then turned towards Un Gum and asked, "H-How long has it been since that kid joined the Mount Hua Sect?"

Un Gum replied, "It's been less than six months..."

"You're saying he was able to defeat a disciple of the Southern Edge Sect after just six months? And that overwhelmingly?"

"Y-yes."

"Are you sure he didn't learn any martial arts before entering the sect?"

"No, he didn't. However, I have yet to figure out just how strong he actually is. He doesn't reveal what he's capable of. He and Shisui spar regularly for an hour or two, away from others, so Shisui should also be strong, but I don't think he's stronger than Chung Myung. Even though Shisui isn't like the Southern Edge disciples, he's the only one who gets injured."

*... I thought he was just a lucky star that tumbled into the Mount Hua Sect... I thought it would be unconscionable of us if we wanted anything more from him because he has already done so much for the Mount Hua Sect, but...*

"That kid's talent for martial arts is definitely way beyond what he just showed us. If you say that Shisui is capable of becoming a sparring partner and sparring with him for hours... Shisui is definitely a genius, and with his Sharingan, he will become very strong. But Chung Myung... he's a genius among geniuses," said the sect leader.

"So, can we win a few matches and regain our dignity?" asked Hyun Yong.

The sect leader thought, "NO. This isn't just on the level of reclaiming our dignity; maybe we have found the person who can lead the Mount Hua Sect for the next 100 years."

"HOO, it seems your sect won at least one fight, Shisui," said one merchant.

"Yes, and it was very one-sided too."

"Ahh, yes. Chung Myung is a genius. He reached this level in just six months."

"Six months!! It seems Mount Hua is blessed with two prodigies in this era."

Hwang thought, *Of course, he should be able to do that much. I heard about him coughing up blood against the Southern Edge disciple, which should be just a trap he set up. I don't think he will fight a losing battle. Maybe he was expecting all this and still gave some results that will shock us.*

"But Shisui, you will lose even if Mount Hua has one or two talented kids."

"Yes, but I think we will win."

"HAHAHA, it's refreshing to see the enthusiasm. As for the win, let's see."

Chung Myung sat down with a smug expression as the sunlight fell on him. The burning irritation that colored his expression had vanished, replaced by a relaxed face that seemed to have no concerns. 

*How can he be so happy after beating someone up like that? Even the devil wouldn't look so relieved!* 

Although the disciples had these thoughts, they felt oddly gratified and burst out.

"Wonderful job!

You did great, Chung Myung!

You should have beaten him up even more!

All the frustration that has piled up over decades flew away just like that guy after you punched him!"

What surrounded Chung Myung was praise from the second-class disciples. And why not? It was the first win for Mount Hua in this conference, and who knows the last time they saw someone from Mount Hua winning so one-sidedly. It was always the other way around.

"Whatever, enough with that. Stop making a fuss. You guys are disturbing me, so get lost!"

Chung Myung turned toward Yoon Jong, and Yoon Jong understood that it was his turn.

"Don't you have any advice or something for me? Characteristics of the Southern Edge Sect's martial arts, for example?" asked Yoon Jong.

"Even if I tell you about them, would you be able to make use of it? Go out already. Just hit the opponent the moment you see his face."

"Alright... I got it."

Yoon Jong entered the stadium with everyone's eyes filled with expectation that something amazing would happen. Yoon Jong felt the most pressure because if he lost here, then Mount Hua would definitely lose its momentum and lose the conference even if they won other matches. This pressure made Yoon Jong nervous, with all the eyes full of expectations on him. Then he suddenly heard a shout.

"Senior brother!"

"Huh..." Yoon Jong turned towards Chung Myung.

"I will kill you if you lose!"

This statement strangely made Yoon Jong relaxed and released all the pressure. Strange thing, who knows what happened to him in the company of Chung Myung, but whatever happened, it happened for the better. I think so...

"I am Yoon Jong, the third-class disciple of THE GREAT MOUNT HUA SECT!!

I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A DUEL WITH THE SOUTHERN EDGE SECT!!"

//I am still thinking about the title drop as it will significantly affect the story in whatever arc I choose to drop it. So I might take a day off or I might not after next chapter .

Comment and let me know what do you guys think about it !//
