[Sacheon Nangin Cup Review Index Selection Contest]

The excitement in the additional preliminary round was hot. The right to designate a clan, which allowed entry into any clan of one’s choice within Sacheon Province, not just the Sichuan Nangin, was a prize that anyone with a passion for martial arts would covet.

Is it just that?

“The person who wins this competition will become the next generation leader who will lead the future of Sichuan Province!”

“Cancer! I’m really looking forward to seeing what the later indices will show!”

It even earned the honor of being the best review index in Sichuan Province.

As such, not only martial artists but also young people in Sichuan Province who wanted to make a little effort applied for the additional preliminary round, and as a result, as many as 2,000 people passed the first round!

Naturally, the intensity of the second preliminary round was incomparable.

If the previous preliminaries really felt like overcoming obstacles, the additional preliminaries really felt like an obstacle race.

I was watching it from the stands with the leaders of the clan.

The school leaders who were watching from the stands with me were excited and excited about their students’ grades, but the overall atmosphere was friendly.

“, those who trained systematically in the sect are definitely different!”

“I knew they were different, but when I compared them in the same way, I could see the difference at a glance!”

“I have to get my son into a sect!”

This is because favorable reviews were pouring in from the audience about the Sichuan schools.

Is it for no reason that martial arts groups are concerned about factions?

Everyone knew that training in a clan gave better results, but as we took the exact same test, the difference in skills became clearly noticeable.

Since people in the audience are saying that they need to get their children into the sect, the atmosphere among the sect leaders is bound to improve.

“The insight of Yu Gaekju and Noegeomnangin is amazing.”

Mukgangtan, who was sitting next to me, opened his mouth.

“Honestly, I was very surprised when they asked me to deal with the extremes located in the underworld together.”

“Hmm. Same goes for me.”

Yeonyu also joined the conversation.

“I am grateful for the opportunity for the clans of Sichuan Province to make a comeback.”

“These are difficult times, so shouldn’t we come together and help each other?”

“I guess so. The clans of Sichuan Province will not forget the kindness of Sichuan people.”

I suddenly felt that my position had changed under the two men’s arms. No, what has changed is not my position, but my level of martial arts.

They were people who were like heaven in the days of second-class samurai, who kicked chestnut baskets in the market, became taffy sellers playing the flute, accompanied children, and delivered bimucheop, but now they are on equal footing.

No, he is secretly treating me like a superior.

The sight of the best players in Sichuan province giving in to me was enough to make me feel a strange emotion.

Certainly, the treatment given by the reputation of a hero is sweet.

Is this exactly what Jeongcheol was aiming for?

I was careful not to get drunk by fame, but at the same time, I developed a close relationship with the two owners.

I guess that’s a good thing.

Rather than giving me a lift and deepening our friendship, the two munju wanted to talk about the upcoming Sacheon Nangin Cup Late Index Selection Competition.

“Anyway, I was surprised to hear about the upcoming finals competitions. How did you come up with this idea?”

“Years of directing were helpful.”

“Heh heh…it looks like we can’t keep up with the wisdom of experience.”

Jajangmunju Yeon-yu said, her eyes shining, as if she was very satisfied with my script.

“The day I heard about the upcoming competition, I couldn’t sleep at night due to anticipation and not being able to live up to my expectations. I’m very excited that something fun that I can only imagine will soon become reality.”

“Yes. It was also nice to see the new students who had only been sucking their fingers preparing with passion while watching the seniors who had built a reputation in personal non-radio warfare. I hope that the news of the finals will provide new motivation for the students who are currently competing, and I hope that those who failed will also be able to cheer on the competition of death penalty students.”

ridge! ridge! ridge!

As the last lap came to a close, the two people who had been exchanging compliments about the Sacheon Nangin Cup Late Index Selection Contest also focused on the competition. Like other literary masters, they, too, captured the appearance of literary people.

Wow!!

As the leader came in, enthusiastic cheers rang out.

Surprisingly, the leader was a young man from Sichuan Province who was not wearing any uniform. After that, the number was quickly filled with people, with Jajangmundo taking second place and Rosary Mundo taking third place.

“I had no idea there were so many talented people in Sichuan Province.”

“Hehe, that’s right. I thought that this kid would have no rival in Sichuan Province…”

To be honest, I thought the additional selection would just be a feast for the clans, but first place was taken by a young man from Sichuan Province. It was surprising that about 30 of the 500 successful applicants were ordinary people.

The civil servant leaders of Sichuan Province were constantly looking at the 30 people to see if they were greedy for talent.

Additional successful candidates were given a blue bandage. All successful applicants, led by the head of the class with the number 501 written in golden thread, were given badges and lined up.

Unlike before, no crowd left hastily even though the event was coming to an end.

Now the crowd has all figured it out.

They say that they will throw in a new piece of cake that can attract attention and interest so that the current excitement does not cool down until the next screening takes place.

“Now, let’s go.”

The clan leaders nodded and moved around.

Wow!!

The leaders of Sichuan Province suddenly appeared! Those who witnessed the clan leaders shouted out a mixture of welcome and anticipation.

With a quick greeting, I got straight to the point.

“We will immediately answer any questions you may have. A total of 1,000 finalists. How does the competition in the finals take place, what advantage do those with the fastest numbers have, and…how many people can survive in the finals!”

It was a place where tens of thousands of spectators gathered, but it became so quiet that you could even hear a pin drop.

“First of all, the number of survivors who can survive in the final competition… has not been determined!”

“ya!”

“It seems like an absolute evaluation!”

“We will also announce details about the competition later.”

People were buzzing. This time, the reaction to the fact that the content of the competition was announced in advance was half with bright eyes and half with dismay. If you know the content in advance, the tension will decrease.

However, I wonder if director Ho Cheon-an couldn’t have thought of the current reaction.

“The content of the final competition is to collect tokens.”

“…token?”

“Applicants will visit sects in Sichuan Province and have their qualifications as a martial artist proven. The clans will test candidates’ martial qualities through simple tests and provide certificates to those who pass the test.”

I could feel people’s interest boiling over in the completely unexpected way the finals were conducted.

“Anyone who collects the certificates within the deadline will pass. However, it will not be easy to pass the qualification test that each school considers important within a limited time.”

“ya!!”

“I’m looking forward to it just by hearing it!”

“You can only check what kind of exam each clan has prepared for by visiting the clan in person after the exam begins. Of course, how many tests must be passed within how many hours will be revealed on the day of the competition.”

“We will also reveal what advantages the successful candidates wearing the red bandana have.”

The crowd was completely immersed in the Sichuan Nangin Cup Review Index Selection Contest, completely absorbed by the bombardment of information.

“If 1,000 test takers move all over Sichuan Province at the same time, wouldn’t there be a big commotion?”

“No, really?”

“100 people starting from the highest number! We will be departing in half-multi-view units.”

“No, then the last participants in the 900th group…? Do you mean I have to wait for more than half an hour?”

“This is truly an advantage!”

I said the last words while looking at the crowd around me who were sharing their opinions as if their interest was already boiling.

“The finals are in 3 days! Finalists, please gather at the Sacheon Bi Stage Hall by 4 p.m.!”

Hyeok Kirin walked the streets of Sichuan Province, putting pieces of taffy into his mouth.

‘Everyone is only talking about the secret martial arts competition.’

[Sacheon Nangin Cup Review Index Selection Contest]

I thought its predecessor, the [Sacheon Nangin Selection Test], was also great, but the [Sacheon Nangin Cup Late Index Selection Contest] completely captivated Sichuan Province.

“Won’t everyone grit their teeth?”

“Yes! At best, it was a preliminaries! If you achieve a high ranking in the finals, it will definitely give you unimaginable advantages!”

“I think differently. In the finals, wouldn’t the advantage of turn number be further reduced? As the competition intensifies, the game will be decided by one point of difference.”

“Mmm. That makes sense!”

Some participants have already achieved fame.

“Who on earth is number 501?”

“Defeating all the warriors from the clan and taking first place in the additional preliminary round! It’s really amazing!”

Representative numbers were 501 and 513. As individual trainees achieved excellent results among members of the clan, attention was bound to be focused.

“Wow! I’m number one! I am the best review index in Sichuan Province!”

“Hey, the Cheongsu Golmok Cup Review Index Selection Contest is a best-of-three match! Do it again!”

“Where is that?”

Hyeok Kirin smiled bitterly as he watched the children bickering. Until recently, children who were absorbed in the game of Sacheon Nangin, which involves defeating Sapa, have changed their play to mimicking competitions.

‘Ho Rongin-nim really comes up with ingenious ideas.’

Sichuan residents are happy because there are interesting things to see, Sichuan late-stage exponents are happy because they have the opportunity to prove themselves and build a reputation, Sichuan clans are happy because they have the opportunity to recruit talented young people who were buried in the shadows, and Sichuan pro-lifers It was nice to have the opportunity to improve my job recognition and the value of the name [Sacheon Nangin].

Hyeok Kirin thought while looking towards the guest room.

‘In the end, you are slowly erasing the scars that Jeong Cheol left in Sichuan Province.’

Jeong Cheol’s revelation caused an emotional breakdown between the people of Sichuan Province and the military. The people of Sichuan Province were disappointed with the Sichuan warriors and were confused about how to treat the Sichuan people.

But what about Sichuan Province now?

“I plan to take a look at the nearby Yangyangmun Gate when the main line starts!”

“During the finals, the inside of each faction will be revealed, right? I’ve always been curious about what the inside of the sect looked like!”

“As this news begins to spread, the number of outside tourists is increasing?”

“Kya, Sacheon people are the pride of our Sacheon province!”

The Sacheon people, the Jeong faction, and even the Sacheon people all became one lump.

Hyeok Kirin thought while listening to people talking about the [Sacheon Nangin Cup Review Index Selection Contest].

Which faction will the successful candidate number 7 try?

“Ah, this was not the time. If you want to follow the successful candidate number 7, you need to fill your snack bag in advance.”

Hyeok Kirin.

He was also one of those who fell in love with the taste of watching the [Sacheon Nangin Cup Review Index Selection Contest].
