I parted ways with the Eccentric Immortal in the mountains. The Eccentric Immortal left for the Valley of No Return, the site of his duel, to face his 'lifelong rival' in a 'once-in-a-lifetime battle.' He invited me to accompany him, but I refused. It wasn't to participate in the remaining matches. I no longer had any interest in the martial arts tournament. The successor of the Taegeuk Sword Sect, who was said to be the strongest among the participants along with the rising star of the Hundred Blades…-

In the middle of the tiled house's courtyard stood a bald old man with a ferocious impression. I recalled the moniker, name, and history I had heard from the Eccentric Immortal. Bald-Headed Ghost Blade, Oh Sung. Oh Sung was a self-made man in his own right. Oh Sung, who had been nothing more than a mediocre swordsman until his mid-forties, suddenly became a master of the highest level, as if he had encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He then went on a spree, defeating the renowned…

Regret clouded the old man's eyes. "At the great hero Go's request, I intentionally approached your sworn brother. The great hero Go's tip that your sworn brother longed for friendship with a learned scholar was true. He treated me with such utmost respect that I didn't know what to do with myself. As my friendship with your sworn brother deepened, my worries grew. You don't know how much I agonized. But in the end, I couldn't refuse the great hero Go's plea to help him just once. That day, I…

It was past the third watch, but the Okcheong Pavilion was as bright as day with lanterns hanging everywhere. Finding the Hundred Blades Alliance's residence was easy. Although there were few people on the streets at this late hour, it didn't hinder my inquiries. I learned the name Okcheong Pavilion and the way there from the second passerby I encountered and came straight here. Despite the old man, the Eccentric Immortal's, attempts to dissuade me, I chose the direct approach to show my strength to…

There was someone who approached Jeon Gwang on the first day of the preliminary rounds. He was a scholar in his late thirties. The scholar, who visited the inn where the people from the Cheong-in Martial Arts Academy were staying, requested a meeting with Jeon Gwang. Since he posed no threat and had a very good impression, the academy master gladly led him to Jeon Gwang's room. Meeting Jeon Gwang, the scholar revealed the purpose of his visit. In short, he wanted to befriend a hidden dragon with…

We moved to a spacious clearing behind the pine forest. Standing seven or eight paces away from the old man, I cupped my fist and showed my respect. "I will receive your teachings." The old man waved his hand dismissively. "Quiet. Just come at me already, you brat." I gladly took the advantage of striking first. Throwing the nine remaining pebbles in my pocket all at once, I used my flash step and arrived in front of the old man almost at the same time as the stones. The old man didn't…

When I fell silent, not out of fear but out of sheer disbelief, the old man seemed to interpret it as me being intimidated by his threat and spoke in a deliberately gentle voice. "You should know that you've encountered a stroke of luck you'll never see again in your life, you brat. If I had just passed by, you would have become a guest of the underworld before seeing tomorrow's sun." I curled the corner of my lip. The old man, taking this as a sneer, growled again. "This brat, you think my words…

Unfortunately, the short man and the lanky man betrayed my expectations. Avoiding a staring contest with the man in the white turban, the two of them even sheathed the weapons they had drawn, making it clear they had no intention of fighting. However, as if frustrated by having to retreat just like that, the short man showed his lingering resentment. "I believe I'm older than you, but your words are harsh, One-Flash Blade. I'll remember this." The turbaned swordsman scoffed. "Hmph, what's there…

I turned to the left side of the stage and shouted. "A ruling!" The judge, his displeasure clearly written on his face, reluctantly responded to my request. "According to the rules, this match is…" Jo Useong, realizing the situation too late, cried out. "No! That can't be. Please let the match continue, sir." "Impossible." The judge refused flatly. Jang Seon of the Bokryong Martial Academy, was it? I liked him. I leisurely watched their confrontation. "But sir, this man has…
