Chapter 304
304: Pardon? What Did You Say My Alias Was?(1)
* * *
Once the second match between Jiyuchan and Cheonryuhwi concluded, a brief window opened before the Stadium required repairs.
Jiyuchan, who had sustained injuries moments before, received healing magic from Dohyun and his wounds had mostly closed, so he rested in the Waiting Room along with the other participants.
It wasn’t a private waiting area but rather a large lobby-like space directly in front of the Stadium, furnished with only simple chairs where everyone sat to rest.
Perhaps because of this?
The atmosphere in the Waiting Room wasn’t as sharp with tension as one might expect, yet the heavy silence created a somewhat desolate mood.
While the tension wasn’t cutting, the oppressive atmosphere prompted someone to clear their throat.
“Ahem.”
It was Ha Duho, a participant in the third match.
He seemed to possess A-Grade strength comparable to Seo Munhui, who had fought Hezway, but perhaps it was because his opponent was none other than Yeom Je, Baek Hwain?
He fidgeted nervously in the Waiting Room, more anxious than anyone else present.
Meanwhile, Dohyun waited for his turn without much tension.
Just as Ha Duho faced a formidable opponent in Baek Hwain, my first opponent was equally impressive.
A female martial artist bearing the alias Yu Seongchang—Han Yurim.
By current evaluation, she seemed to receive treatment comparable to Cheonryuhwi, the Platinum Sword King, so I anticipated the match greatly.
‘This should be interesting.’
If I won, then according to the bracket, the winner of the first match would face the winner of the third match, and the winner of the second match would face the winner of the fourth match, meaning I would eventually fight Cheonryuhwi, the Platinum Sword King.
And if I won there as well, the finals would pit me against Yeom Je, Baek Hwain.
I didn’t mean to be disrespectful, but I didn’t think Hezway could defeat Baek Hwain.
While Hezway was strong, he couldn’t yet win against an S-Grade powerhouse.
I hoped he would learn as much from this as Jiyuchan had from his match.
As I fell into such contemplation,
the Announcer’s voice rang out from outside.
-Well then, I’m sure you’ve all been waiting eagerly!!! The next match is Hwanammgeom Ha Duho versus Yeom Je, Baek Hwain!
Following the Announcer’s words, the third match began.
Trembling, Hwanammgeom Ha Duho and Yeom Je Baek Hwain ascended to the Stadium in turn.
* * *
As naturally as the sky is blue, as if following the laws of nature itself, Hwanammgeom Ha Duho couldn’t endure even ten exchanges before rolling across the Ground, and the victor was Yeom Je, Baek Hwain.
Perhaps because the spectators had already anticipated this?
There were neither cheers nor jeers.
Though Hwanammgeom Ha Duho was a renowned master in his own right, some spectators expressed regret at facing such an overwhelming opponent, suggesting he was quite popular, but what could be done when his opponent was Baek Hwain?
Still, Ha Duho charged forward determined to win until the end, so the spectators praised his effort despite the loss.
-Well then, since there’s barely any damage to the Stadium, we shall commence the next match immediately!
At the Announcer’s words, I rose from my seat with a slight smile, and likewise, Yu Seongchang Han Yurim, seated across from me, stood as well.
Seeing me smiling, Han Yurim chuckled pleasantly and murmured.
“Haha! A martial arts novice is smiling at me?”
To Han Yurim’s words, I responded still wearing my smile.
“What else can I do?”
In the martial world, how many could respond to Han Yurim in such a manner?
Especially among those who were novices to the martial world.
Han Yurim felt a refreshing novelty in Dohyun’s response and laughed heartily.
“Hahaha! This is fun! This is truly fun! Let’s have ourselves a worthy match.”
In a situation where those sensitive to propriety might have rebuked him, Han Yurim laughed it off with considerable cheer and good humor, and Dohyun watched her with an expression of pleasant surprise.
She certainly possessed 『bearing』.
She had sensed Dohyun’s 『bearing』 and had not looked down upon him for being a martial world novice; rather, it was clear she was both wary and anticipating an interesting match.
Because she possessed 『Analysis』.
Thinking thus, Dohyun listened to the Announcer’s words and, like Han Yurim, ascended into the Stadium.
-Ahhh! What need is there for words this time!!! Yu Seongchang! Han Yurim and Dohyun of the Overseer Party!!!
At the Announcer’s declaration of the fourth match, Dohyun and Han Yurim simultaneously stepped into the Stadium, and according to Dohyun’s 『Analysis』, Han Yurim observed him and thought thus.
‘This one is no pushover.’
The power and technique she sensed appeared similar to her own, yet in terms of realm alone, he stood two stages below her.
But why?
Even so, an instinct that she must not underestimate him sent a chill down Han Yurim’s spine.
Han Yurim recognized this and did not dismiss it.
How many times had she survived by this intuition, and how many times had she triumphed through this instinct?
Therefore, she remained all the more vigilant.
If her instinct spoke thus, it was proof that Dohyun was surely a formidable opponent.
Thinking so, Han Yurim spun her spear in her hand and began to wield it.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Whiiiiiing—!
The spear, which had rotated slowly at first, cut through the air with sound, and gradually its rotation accelerated until a noise as if a swarm of bees had emerged echoed in all directions.
Watching Han Yurim’s spear gradually suffused with blue light, Dohyun’s eyes narrowed, and he pondered which martial technique to employ.
And as if he could not bear it any longer, he smiled and likewise drew his spear, and at that moment, Han Yurim’s eyes twitched.
With an expression questioning whether he was a spear master, she watched Dohyun, and he too rotated his spear while manifesting the same clear blue aura as Han Yurim.
And seeing this, Han Yurim’s eyes narrowed as she murmured, for she could not fail to recognize him.
“Cheongmyeongjichang.”
She could not fail to recognize the martial technique she herself had created, and so murmuring thus, Han Yurim spoke as if genuinely amused.
“Just as with the Platinum Sword King before, I shall provide you direct instruction.”
At Han Yurim’s words, which indirectly referenced Jiyuchan, Dohyun nodded and replied.
“I shall endeavor to learn well.”
Saying thus, Dohyun prepared for the signal to sound and lowered his stance.
In contrast to Dohyun, Han Yurim stood upright in place, watching him while continuing to spin her spear.
And then came that moment.
-Begin!
The Announcer’s declaration to commence was heard.
Thus, in the fourth match that began, Dohyun first drove his foot down against the Stadium floor as if striking it, and from that very spot where his foot landed, the earth suddenly undulated and rose up like ocean waves, surging toward Han Yurim.
Creating the earth in such a manner through the True Foot technique was a method she had neither heard nor seen before, so Han Yurim might have been astonished, yet she simply accepted it and seized the spear she had been spinning in her grasp with a sharp snap.
Then, gripping the spear firmly, the moment she thrust it forward, the undulating earth and crashing waves froze suspended in midair.
The wave of earth, as if struck at its vital point, remained motionless.
Yet neither Dohyun nor Han Yurim believed this was the end.
The moment the earthen wave obscured her vision, Dohyun swiftly executed a footwork technique to leap over it, then gripped his spear in a diagonal downward angle toward Han Yurim. Using the Thousand-Weight Hammer method, he created footholds in midair and unleashed a technique from Cheongmyeongjichang.
The most powerful technique available in Cheongmyeongjichang aside from its secret art—a technique that served as a stepping stone to the next level of martial prowess.
Cheongmyeongjichang
Eighth Technique
Cheongmyeong Flowing Star
The clear, crystalline azure-white energy that Cheongmyeongjichang produced stretched across the void like a comet’s tail, streaking toward Han Yurim. She felt a moment of panic upon seeing Dohyun deploy Cheongmyeong Flowing Star from the very first exchange.
Using a finishing technique from the outset transcended boldness—it bordered on madness.
Since Han Yurim hadn’t yet fully gathered her energy, she likewise employed footwork to swiftly escape the area.
When Dohyun’s Cheongmyeong Flowing Star finally arrived and struck the stadium floor, a fierce radiance erupted, dyeing the world in azure-white.
Whoooosh————!!!
Boom————————!!!
With that brilliant light came a delayed explosion, and the shockwave swept across the bleached, flickering world.
The once-intact stadium was instantly reduced to ruins. After the explosion cleared, Han Yurim thrust her spear toward Dohyun.
Though the brilliant light obscured her vision, reading the opponent’s energy and attacking was second nature.
Yet the moment Han Yurim’s spear shot forward, Dohyun’s energy suddenly scattered, and no trace of him remained along the spear’s trajectory.
Dohyun had slipped away using the subtlety of concealment, and as dust still swirled and vision remained obscured, Han Yurim let out a knowing smile.
His martial cultivation was two stages below hers, yet his movements spoke of a seasoned veteran.
One might even say he’d traversed more battlefields than she had.
Though such thoughts crossed her mind, Han Yurim immediately sensed Dohyun’s presence and extended her spear skyward, deploying a technique.
Cheongmyeongjichang
Sixth Technique
Cheongmyeong Cloud Breaker
Whoooosh————!!!
With a single upward thrust, the dust swirling around them instantly dissipated, and Dohyun’s form became visible.
He had appeared directly to Han Yurim’s right, and in that instant, she raised her spear and brought it down toward him.
The spear shaft bent like a whip, channeling all its force into a strike far more devastating than before.
Without blocking, he would suffer grievous injury. He had to evade or defend absolutely. Moreover, azure energy coiled around the whip-like shaft as the technique manifested.
Cheongmyeongjichang
Seventh Technique
Cheongmyeong Moonlight
Tracing the arc of a crescent moon as it sought to cleave Dohyun in two, he simply executed another footwork step to evade, then thrust his own spear toward Han Yurim.
Cheongmyeongjichang
Fifth Technique
Cheongmyeong Heavenly Path
Rather than retreating, Dohyun pressed forward with his thrusting technique. Watching him, Han Yurim evaded his spear and laughed heartily, crying out:
“Hahahah! A true mad ghost indeed!”
Han Yurim spoke with such exhilaration while regarding Dohyun, and he, grinning widely, used his spear as an axis to pivot his legs and sweep at Han Yurim.
In that brief instant, Han Yurim drew her spear shaft toward herself to block his kick, then rotated it to disperse the impact, preventing herself from being knocked back.
He twisted the path of the spear shaft rotating from the impact, slashing it toward Dohyun’s head as he extended his foot into midair.
In that instant.
Twooooaaang——!!!
Shiiiiiiek——!
Dohyun raised his spear shaft to block, but unlike Han Yurim, he couldn’t fully dissipate the impact—he was driven sideways, carving a long furrow into the ground. Blood trickled from his head from the collision, yet he still spoke with a grin.
“Wow, you’re truly impressive.”
“That’s right! This is how a Mad Demon should fight!”
