Chapter: 233

“A-arrogant fool!”

Sang Munyo was provoked by Yeowun’s casual nod and he sent qi to his blade. The blade shone brightly with the white light of qi. Munyo felt a strong urge to cut off Yeowun’s arm at least to make this anger subside.

“Hah!”

Munyo charged in, unleashing his Blade skill. His blade divided into two, coming down at Yeowun at once.

‘It’s fast. But...’

It was much slower than the Butterfly Blade Dance. Yeowun’s body spun quickly and the blade in his hand left a trace and defended the blade attack coming down at him. It was the second formation of the Butterfly Blade Dance. Sang Munyo’s eye grew wide with shock.

‘He blocked this?! H-how...!’

Munyo then saw the clear white qi on Yeowun’s blade. Its shape wasn’t perfect yet, but it was proof that Yeowun was an established master.

‘H-he’s not entry master level!’

Sang Munyo became shocked and tried to back away. If Yeowun’s strength was equal to his, then Munyo needed to fight carefully. That’s when Yeowun charged in like lightning, unleashing the sixth formation of the Butterfly Blade Dance against Munyo.

“Argh!”

Munyo swung his blade defensively, but the blade came at him like a butterfly leaving traces, making his eyes dizzy. It was much faster than his own blade.

Munyo’s blade was thrown away, ripping Munyo’s palm. As Yeowun did not stop on his blade formation, Munyo quickly shouted, “I-I lost! You passed the test. Stop now!”

It was not a matter of pride anymore. It seemed like Yeowun’s blade was coming at him as if it would kill for real. Yeowun’s blade stopped in front of Munyo’s nose.

“Hah... hah...”

Munyo’s face was drenched in sweat. Yeowun asked suspiciously, “Did I pass the fourth test?”

Holding up his both hands, he stuttered, “Y-yes. You won, so let’s stop it here.”

It was to signal to him that he had given up, but it was actually a scheme. Munyo decided to change his method now since he knew he couldn’t just defeat Yeowun with the normal way.

‘I would die rather than have you pass the test!’

If he were to let Yeowun safely go, then there was the risk of letting everyone know that Munyo ambushed him alone. Munyo gathered the energy in both of his hands. He was going to strike Yeowun’s head as soon as he pulled back his blade.

“Okay.”

‘Good!’

As Yeowun retrieved his blade and placed it back into the scabbard, Munyo narrowed his eyes. However, at that moment, Yeowun’s fist struck his body, throwing him back. The sheer strength of the attack blew him away. Munyo became dumbfounded.

“H-how...”

“You should’ve hidden the energy from your hand if you were going to lie.”

“H-how did you know...!”

Munyo was so shocked that he stuttered. How did Yeowun know when the energy wasn’t let out of his hand? The energy scattered away from his both hands as he lost will to secretly attack him.

[Energy focused in the enemy’s hands no longer detected. Lowering risk level.]

There was no way Sang Munyo to know about Nano’s ability to sense danger. Yeowun then came up to him with a cold look on his face. Full of fear, Munyo exclaimed, “I-I’m sorry. I’m not lying anymore. I accept my loss! I’ll go tell the Chief that you passed the... AAAARGH!”

Before Munyo finished speaking, Yeowun stepped on his right rib, crushing his bones. The rib bone that barely healed after three weeks of rest and meditation was gone. Yeowun glowered at Munyo.
