Chapter: 97
‘Four holes... probably means the fourth blood point.’
The fourth blood point was shown in the book on its location.
‘This is weird. The basic flow of energy starts from another place... it would need seven holes then... OH!’
Chun Yeowun then finally realized the secret behind this.
‘The first word is comprised of three lines, if adding four into it, it will point at the seventh blood point!’
That was the secret behind it. Yeowun then began to calculate the letter and numbers to see the blood point of energy movement. And soon, he was able to complete the energy flow that moved through 23 points.
“Hahahahaha! This is it! This is IT!!!”
After acquiring the energy flow, Chun Yeowun was able to replicate the sword formation perfectly. He still felt like it was a bit lacking, and he knew that it came from his lack of experience. Yeowun then asked Nano to see if he had recorded the front side of the second floor stone, and luckily, Nano did have it. And Yeowun went through the same process. The second formation was also bit lacking but this was as far as he could go.
‘Let’s thank Father Chun Ma for his discovery.’
He then wondered about the rest of the sword formations probably left on other floors.
‘I guess I have no choice but to pass all the tests.’
Yeowun then came up with one more question.
‘Then why does the counter formation require no energy flow?’
He was not yet experienced enough to learn this. He thought he could take it slow since he still knew how to use the formation at least.
Yeowun asked Nano, ‘What’s the time right now?’
[It’s about 6:00 PM, Master.]
It was already dinner time. He had skipped lunch, so he was starving. Yeowun then left the room. The underground floor seemed empty.
It was great that the group test was over. All cadets were required to eat together during the second stage, but they were now allowed to go during designated hours to eat meals whenever they wanted.
‘Wow.’
Chun Yeowun was excited to smell the food as he walked in. Unlike other times, today was a special food day.
‘It’s noodles!’
Yeowun got in line and received the noodles and meat broth. The cook that poured the broth spoke to Yeowun with a smile.
“It’s a beef noodle soup. It’s uncommon in this region.”
It was a noodle bowl created with meat broth which contained boiled with beef bones and meat. It was a common noodle bowl south of the Yellow River. The academy’s cafeteria had various cooks from each region, so it gave cadets the opportunity to try different foods from each region.
Yeowun got to the table and began eating the noodles. He had never eaten noodles before, and it was soo good that he began chowing down. When he went for another bowl and came back, someone sat next to him. The table was open to all cadets so Yeowun did not care about who sat next to him and focused on eating, but the person started speaking to him.
“You are the 7th cadet, the leader of the 8th group right?”
“Huh?”
His question could easily be answered just by looking at the tag, so that meant that he was talking to Yeowun on purpose. Yeowun looked up to the young man next to him. He was handsome but he had maybe one little flaw.
‘Where is his eye?’
His eye was very narrow and small. But it seemed to fit him very nicely too.
