Chapter 120
Lee Hameng stayed behind while everyone left his office . He grabbed the silver medal that Chun Yeowun had returned and thought .
‘He’s grown much . ’
Yeowun was completely different from three years ago . He was no longer a boy who was eager to avenge his mother . He knew he could challenge one of the twelve elders, but he held back his emotions . This looked just like the cold-hearted Lord who was a father to the boy .
[Is there any specific elder you wish to challenge?]
[Is it okay if I think about it for a while?]
Yeowun had grown very thoughtful and did not act on impulse . Hameng thought that Yeowun would choose to fight Baek Oh, the leader of the Poison Clan for Yeowun’s hatred toward poison .
‘He is too dangerous to just challenge for revenge . ’
Baek Oh, the Monster Poison . Without considering the level of martial arts, he was the most dangerous man within the six clan elders for his ability to kill . He was reinstated as an elder after being released from his prison sentence for two years . With the Poison Clan having much of their power decreased, and Baek Oh having accepted his consequences, he had been decreased of his rank to 12th elder .
‘And the Lord wants to keep him close . ’
With the incident that happened three years ago, the Sword Clan paid its price and the entire six clans had to lay low for three years . But even if they were weakened, they still consisted of 30% of the cult’s power and there was no way these old and powerful clans could stay quiet forever . It was only a little more time for the academy to soon close, so it was about time they show their claws .
‘If the time comes, the cult will be in a bloodshed . ’
There wasn’t much time for Chun Yeowun to be ready for the upcoming strife .
Chun Yeowun went straight to the library . He was in deep thought ever since he left the Chief’s office . He had not expected that the sixth test was to challenge one of the 12 elders . A warrior at the superior level was one of the top-ranking warriors within the cult, so they were given the right to challenge the elders to replace them . If the challenger defeated an elder, then the challenger was appointed as a new elder . And this wasn’t only it . With the passing of the fifth test, Yeowun was told that there were hidden underground floors of the library that he can enter if he passes the sixth test . But Yeowun was too busy to think about getting the chance to fight elders in a public duel .
‘I can go after the elders from the six clans . ’
He was to start a war against the six clans right after his academy, but this was a chance for him to defeat one of the elders ahead of that war . He had someone in mind already, but he needed to be careful . Yeowun wasn’t afraid of him, but needed to make preparations considering what he would gain and lose .
Yeowun got to the library while thinking . He saw the instructor taking care of entries sitting down on the desk in front of the library . He had a thick fur coat over him, but it still seemed very cold as his nose was very red .
“Ohh!”
The instructor got up instantly as he saw Yeowun after a long time . The job had been very boring now as only a few cadets now visited the library after the third test . It seemed like he was happy to see an old face .
“Leader Chun! Long time no see . ”
“Long time no see, Instructor . ”
“Oh, wait . I guess I shouldn’t call you Leader anymore . ”
The instructor knew why Yeowun had come . He remembered that Yeowun came last time when he passed the fourth test, so if he came now, then it meant that Yeowun had passed the fifth test . The instructor got up and bowed politely .
“Greetings, Master Chun . ”
The cult only valued power and rank . It didn’t matter how long the person had been in such rank . Yeowun saw no complaints on the instructor’s face at having to bow to him .
“Will you be going up to the fifth floor?”
“Yes . ”
“Then you can write your name down here . ”
On the list, there were names who had visited the fifth floor in order . Chun Muyun, Chun Kungwun, Sama Chak, Ko Wanghur, Mun Ku, Guk Shin, and Bakgi — a total of seven cadets had become established grandmaster level warriors . And it was great that three of these cadets were under Yeowun .
‘Sama Chak?’
The name surprised Yeowun . Sama Chak was the fastest cadet aside from princes to pass the fifth test . Yeowun then remembered him having two yellow tags before .
‘Is he from a high-ranking clan?’
The name became familiar now . Yeowun wrote his name under Bakgi’s name and the instructor handed him two candles . Unlike the expectation that he was going to be given more time, the time didn’t seem different from when he went to the fourth floor .
“The time allowed is six hours . ”
The time limit was still the same from the fourth floor .
“Understood . ”
Yeowun answered and the instructor smiled .
“Wish you luck, Master Chun . ”
“Thank you . ”
Yeowun then placed one candle on the cabinet and got the wooden box to put the candle in and walked up to the fifth floor . As he walked up, there was a small room . The floors got smaller and smaller as he went up, but the fifth floor was really small and had no bookshelves at all .
‘Twenty?’
There were only about twenty books . And among them was one Yeowun was very well aware of .
[Butterfly Dance Blade]
As the Right Guardian Submeng claimed proudly, his book was on the fifth floor, meaning it had great depth and power within it . But it just meant Yeowun could skip one book . And it was now the time he had waited for so long .
‘Last formation of the Sword Force of the Sky Demon . ’
