Smack!
âGuhhâ!â
As Peng Zhou was being beaten to a pulp, the entire audience in the pavilion stood frozen, unable to utter a word.
ââ¦What is happening?â
âThis is⦠too much!â
Their eyes werenât fixed on the bloodied Blade King but on the young man tearing him apart.
The most talked-about youth in Hanam.
The one who had claimed the title of the next greatest martial artist, surpassing even the Divine Dragon.
He had revealed his hidden strength and shot to fame overnight.
An unmatched talent whose power defied his age.
People whispered that he was a monster.
Some even claimed that he had already reached Hwagyeongâthe highest martial stateâwhen he was still a teenager.
After the Divine Dragon incident, the young prodigy had earned the nickname So Yeomra and rumors had spread that he had attained Hwagyeong.
But the Murim Alliance officially declared the Divine Dragon as the youngest to reach Hwagyeong, putting those rumors to rest.
And yetâ
âJust what the hell is that?â
Now, looking at So Yeomra, no one could deny it.
ââ¦The Blade King is being utterly destroyed?â
This was the central pavilion.
A place filled with the most powerful leadersâsect masters, clan heads, and merchants who controlled vast territories.
People who commanded respect and influence in the martial world.
And yet, none of them could keep their composure as they watched So Yeomra.
âDidnât they say he just turned twenty?â
âWe saw him fight the Divine Dragon, but⦠this is ridiculous.â
Ridiculous.
That was the only word to describe what they were witnessing.
He wasnât just another talent.
If the Divine Dragon had only taken his first steps into Hwagyeong, then So Yeomra was already soaring.
Against the Blade King, he didnât retreatânot even once.
Boomâ!!
