Chapter: 280

‘She would be terrified if I tell her the truth.’

Yeowun thought Hou Sangwha might be too frightened and would not want to take the fifth test, so he decided to keep quiet about the truth. When Bakgi came to the room, Yeowun brought the bowl that he had stored at the storage.

“Ugh!”

“Yeeeeek!”

It was sealed with clothes, but the stench coming from it made all cadets pinch their noses. The smell was so foul that they had never smelled such a thing. Jin Guuk, who was weak at such a bad smell, ran out of the room, vomiting.

“M-master! What is that?!” Ja Wumin asked as he saw the oozing black liquid inside the bowl. It was the blood of a dragon serpent, a mythical creature, but there was no way to explain this easily so Yeowun just lied about it.

“As I passed through the Demon Seal Cave, I went in the wrong direction and found this.”

“In the cave?”

Mun Ku, Ko Wanghur, and Bakgi who had passed the test, became surprised. They had to focus on the cold air blowing in from the exit that they didn’t even think about going to another direction.

“And what is that for?”

“And when I did... I somehow drank it and it pushed out all the toxic stuff from my blood points and allowed better energy flow.”

“W-what? Is that real?’

Every martial artist knew the importance of having free flow of energy. If the energy flowed freely and more quickly, then it allowed the martial artist to use the formation or internal energy more quickly.

“T-then it’s a treasure!”

“Ohhh!”

Some cadets began to be excited, even with the smell. But it still made them hesitant to see disgusting visual of the liquid.

“...I couldn’t just have it on my own, so I brought some by filling it in my scabbard.”

He couldn’t say that he had squeezed out some of it from his clothes.

“Oh... Master, you did that for us!”

“Master!”

Hu Bong, Ohjong, and Ja Wumin were touched by Yeowun’s actions.

“Master... thank you for everything! There will be no master who cares about his servants like you!”

Ko Wanghur got up and bowed to thank him. Yeowun then carefully pushed the bowl to his members.

“Then drink it.”

But even when knowing it was good for them, they were still hesitant. The smell was too terrible and the sticky visual made it hard to even think about drinking it. And while everyone was hesitating, Hu Bong got up courageously.

“Master gave us a gift! There is no need to hesitate. I’ll go first!”

Hu Bong brought up a cup and filled it up.

“Ugggh.”

Sticky visual made the other fourteen cadets frown and moan. It was surely disgusting in every way.

“Thank you, Master!!”
