Silence fell.

The proposal he gave, asking them to go through training by their subordinates, was shocking.

Those gathered here were the direct disciples of the Heavenly Demon, the head of the sect. They were in the top 30.

Even so, the Bloody Death Warlord was unstoppable. And he spoke in a relaxed tone,

“Now now. I guess I was asking for too much. If you feel offended, I apologize for it. If we cannot do it,we cannot do it.”

He said that with a sad face but those words felt odd.

“…”

“…”

“…”

And in this place, there was no one who did not understand the meaning of the words to that extent.

The silence was long, and in the midst of it, Seol-Hwi looked at the guy.

Is this how one who ranked seventh of the sect acts like?

The highest among the skilled. And his troops which held an almost perfect mission success rate—

He was the head of such troops, who were known as the strongest in the sect.

Not only that, he was on the verge of being the sub sect leader at one point in time.

At that point, he could act like this in front of the disciples of the Sect Leader.

“That offer. I will accept it.”

There was a person who broke the silence and raised his hand.

“Hoh. Will it be the Second Disciple himself?”

“Ah. That is a bit much. It is because I have tasks to do right now. Instead, I will send one of my subordinates to the classes. And the guy is known as Ghost Incarnate.”

“Ghost Incarnate! Indeed, that much should do.”

Tak

The guy clapped his hands and the Second Disciple smiled.

What? Ghost Incarnate… ah!

Seol-Hwi traced his memory and recalled the list of warriors he had heard iof n the past.

He remembered them. They were one of the three trump cards of the Second Disciple, the warrior who was said to have killed the greatest warriors with his surprise attack.

His main specialty was assassination, but he was also good at combat. Because of his reckless personality, the place he walked was known to be bloody, so he was known as Ghost Incarnate.

He desperately… wants to live.

Seol-Hwi frowned.

With just the level of Ghost Incarnate, it was clear that he could clear the teachings of the Warlord. If someone below this level came, it would be an insult to the Warlord.

However, the Second Disciple wanted this. Regardless of the insult or pleasure, he was showing how determined he wanted the Warlord on his side.

“And the others?”

He looked at the other disciples.

“I will accept it too. Wouldn’t Ju Seorin under my command be enough?”

The one to say that was the Third Disciple.

“Oh? Ju Seorin, I think I heard about her. She is the one who assists the Third Disciple and has an excellent mind and is talented despite being a woman.”

Ju Seorin—

Like the Warlord said, she was a warrior under the Third Disciple. She is someone who was known to be bright, and there was no language she didn’t know, Chinese, Japanese and even the Mongolian tribe’s.

Although commonly called smart, her martial arts was not lacking either. She was said to be at the end of Peak Demon, and her growth was known to be swift.

Since the evaluation had been done a few years back, her achievement in martial arts was sure to be around the Supreme Demon level now.

“Everyone seems determined. Fine, then I will have to send Yo Su-gwang.”

This time, the First Disciple said it.

“Huh, the First Disciple is sincere too.”

“Seriously, this will not be an easy thing.”

“Right.”

While the Warlord was happy, the two disciples were puzzled.

Yo Su-gwang—

Not everyone would know of them, but there were very few who would not know about this man.

First of all he was a secret warrior to the First Disciple and one of the two people he cared the most for.

Now, if the Second Disciple is reckless in his actions, he was a typical assassin who was known to be cautious of his actions.

Even his skills were difficult to figure out.

The Peak Demon level was a stage he should have easily surpassed. However, no one knew if he had touched the Supreme Demon level.

There is no guarantee that the First Disciple’s men are not at Supreme Demon.

Seol-Hwi recalled the past.

Seol-Hwi recalled the fight with the First Disciple in the past. At that time, the man called Yo Su-gwang did not follow him, it was something which did not happen. Therefore, his skills could not be guessed now.

“And then the rest…”

As the eyes of the Warlord moved, the other disciples also followed—

To where the Earth Demon was seated.

“If everyone is like this, I should accept too.”

The Earth Demon nodded calmly while looking at the gaze. Then quietly looked to the side and said,

“The one I will send is Seol-Hwi. The one next to me.”

“…”

“…”

Silence again.

But this was not a cold silence but an odd one. And only the Warlord seemed to be interested in this.

“Okay, then.”

Clap clap

The guy clapped his hands to end the silence.

“After a test session will be the training in the afternoon. Send up those who will come and work. Then, I will educate them and train them.”

Having said that, he walked out after bowing to them.

“…Huh.”

The air in the room was different now, the First Disciple walked out with displeasure and the the Second Disciple patted the Earth Demon.

“You seriously man, such an interesting one.”

And he turned.

“Huh!”

The Third Disciple laughed out loud.

“Earth Demon…”

“Do not worry.”

The Earth Demon did not seem angry. Rather, he had a smile.

“You can do it.”

“…”

“Right?”

For a moment Seol-Hwi looked at the other disciples. At one time, he felt terrified of them. But today was different.

Each of them looked impatient to him.

“I will get the highest score.”

Said Seol-Hwi to the Earth Demon.

Recognizing that perhaps the persuading of the Warlord was the final step to become a secret warrior.

Blood Strong Troops—

Inside the building which was large enough to be a hall, close to 50 warriors had gathered. The warriors of a higher level were gathered for training.

It was a group training which was held twice a year, with all the best warriors representing the troops there.

And there were four training courses.

The first was theory with the second in complex training.

The third was for tactics while the fourth was practical training.

Those gathered here were all elite warriors of the troops. Yet it was known that more than half of them had failed in theory and complex training.

It was known that the test after three weeks of training was also difficult to pass. In particular, there were never more than 10 who passed the tactics test, and only one or two would be able to pass the final test.

However, such clear skills was the reason why the troops were so well known. The grades obtained were reflected in their efforts.

If one could get a high score, they will become a member of the troops with a high position.

“Everyone has gathered?”

Dozens of people had gathered in the hall.

Looking down at them was a man on the second floor.

A member of the Bloody Death Hall, Shim Wan-cheong.

He was in charge of the first theory and received a message from the Warlord earlier.

Four people would be sent by the disciples, and they would have to be trained.

“Seems so. Everyone is roughly here,”

An old man spoke with soft words.

With gray hair and white beard that hung down to his shoulder, he was So Cheon-gwi, the second head.

He was in charge of the collective education and supervision of the tests.

“Is that child the one known as Ghost Incarnate?”

The man who was looking down at the hall pointed, and among the members here and there was one standing silently.

The one with a small build—the guy who was big for a boy and small for an adult, with a skinny physique and didn’t stand out much.

“Such an odd energy. As expected from the hand of the Second Disciple.”

So Cheon-gwi nodded.

The appearance was average or below, but it was different when he felt their presence. The cold and wild feeling of the man reminded him of the harsh northern regions in the distance.

The long hair that completely covered his eyes gave off a sense of strangeness when seen by strangers and a chilling atmosphere when seen by people.

“I think I will definitely head for the fourth stage. I wonder how many of the members will qualify.”

“Still, the first and second ranks in the Blood Strong Troops are worthy. It seems that the Peak Demon wall hasn’t been overcome yet.”

“Nevertheless, such a shady and damp feeling… probably has brought many to death.”

“Right.”

So Cheon-gwi looked away at those words.

“Now let’s see again… there he is, Yo Su-gwang.”

The old man looked. He saw a person with his back against the wall who was quietly scanning his surroundings.

Although he was skinny, he was taller than Ghost Incarnate. His face was covered with a mask, and only his eyes were scanning the surroundings.

“Even though we are so far away, I feel the killing intent… rather nice.”

So they watched carefully. A hook was held in the right hand of Yo Su-gwang.

It looked like a unique weapon, but if used in real life, the skills would be out of the ordinary.

“There must be people as such, that is why our troops are good.”

Was it because a monster could recognize another monster?

So Cheon-gwi smiled looking at Yo Su-gwang, who was full of killing intent. A person who enjoyed the border between life and death. It was because of that, he is called Shensha of Death.

“I found both of them. Then the rest?”

“That woman over there, she has been watching us from the start.”

At the gesture, So Cheon-gwi was able to find an easy target. A woman. A woman with a hood on her head.

She seemed out of place with men all around, but she stood out. She glanced around and occasionally glanced at the two people on the second floor.

It was like she recognized them.

“As expected. The outfit and physique don’t look like a warrior’s, but they seem to understand this game better than anyone else. This gathering must be fairly high level.”

“They are the ones put ahead by the future sect leaders, it has to be them.”

“The Third Disciple’s subordinate, Ju Seorin. The definite level of skills is unknown.”

“At first glance it is clear they are Peak Demon. That sounds interesting.”

Shim Wan-cheong seemed excited.

It was a great pleasure to him to teach these outstanding people and to proctor their tests. Showing such excitement, he turned

“And the remaining one…”

But this time, the one was not easy to find. He glanced around several times, but when he did not see anyone in particular, he titled his head.

“Odd. The one who seems to be the subordinate of the Fourth Disciple…”

“He is hidden.”

“Uh?”

Shim Wan-cheong looked at the old man with an expression like he had heard it wrong.

However, the old man had found something, and his expression changed to a curious one.

“Hidden. To avoid our eyes.”

“What do you mean? Why avoid us…”

“I guess he doesn’t want to be noticed.”

“…?”

Shim wan-cheong still made a puzzled expression. However, So Cheon-gwi smiled and nodded.

“He is trying to hide himself… there is a lot of stuff here.”

He looked at Shim Wan-cheong and continued.

“Sounds like an interesting one. This time’s training session.”
