"We need to discard it. We must let go of what we hold. And first, we need to break down the barriers. To do that, there is only one way."

Beopjeong smiled slyly. Speaking words that were as shocking as a bolt from the blue, bewildering, and perhaps not what they expected.

"Disband Cheonu-myeong and return to your original positions. Soryeom formally requests the return of Gupa-ilbang to Hwasan."

A gust of disbelief swept through the stunned onlookers, filling the room in an instant"

WHAT. IS. HE. TALKING. ABOUT
IS THIS BASTARD CRAZY

For this spoiler, I didn't edit anything. This comes straight from Chatgpt web, this is for any newcomers that want to read ahead. I think this site is the most accurate and easy to read. The translation had a sentence and some dialogue, that I didn't completely understand towards the end. Normally, I'd paste it to DeepL and google trans before posting it here.

(Binggung- ice palace)

He walked along the riverbank with a deep sigh. How long had he been walking like this?

"Huh?"

Baekcheon's steps suddenly came to a halt. Tilting his head, he listened attentively.

'What's this? Is that sound...?'

His eyes gleamed sharply.

'The clash of weapons?'

On a night like this, in a place like this?

Suppressing his presence for a moment, Baekcheon swiftly ran towards the direction of the sound of weapons clashing.
Approaching quietly towards the dense thicket, Baekcheon lowered his posture slightly. The sound of weapons clashing grew clearer and closer.

'Two of them?'

It didn't sound like a fight involving multiple people...

Minimizing his presence as much as possible, he cautiously moved forward. As he got closer to where the sound was coming from, he carefully brushed aside the dense undergrowth.

'Huh?'

At that moment, an unexpected sight appeared before him, causing Baekcheon to involuntarily open his mouth. Just as he was about to make a sound—

"Hush."

A voice came from right beside him. Startled, Baekcheon was about to shout, but a hand quickly covered his mouth.

"Shh."

"...."

Normally, someone like Baekcheon wouldn't easily allow someone else to cover his face, but this person was an exception. The one covering his mouth was none other than Yoo Isul.

"Quiet."

Baekcheon silently nodded his head, and Yoo Isul removed her hand from his mouth. While her appearance raised many questions, it wasn't the most important thing right now. For the moment, they both turned their attention to the scene before them.

Clang!

The clash of swords echoed through the air.

A young man dressed in pure white attire was knocked back and tumbled helplessly backward.

"Ugh!"

A pained groan escaped the young man's lips, but he had no time to be dramatic. Instinctively, he twisted his body to the side.

Kwooong!

The young man's face had been just a moment ago was where a foot landed. Clear footprints were imprinted on the ground. It was a situation where it was painfully obvious what would have happened if he hadn't moved his body.

But before the young man could even catch his breath after this near miss, the person whose foot had hit the ground swiftly swept his foot through the air, striking the turned young man's back.

Thump!

The young man flew like a kicked frog, crashing into a large tree trunk.

Kwoooong!

His body hit the trunk and slid down, leaving a trail as it descended. Looking at this scene indifferently, Cheongmyeong, who had appeared without them noticing, opened his mouth with a sunken voice.

"Get up."

"...."

"Why? Have you done enough now?"

At those words, the hand of Seolsobaek, the young man, twitched.

"Cough!"

A dry cough escaped, mixed with blood. Seolsobaek staggered to his feet. Despite his body swaying several times and feeling like all his strength had left him, he managed to steady himself, using his sword as a makeshift cane.

"Your reactions are slow."

Cheongmyeong spoke with a nonchalant gaze directed at him.

"It's inevitable that your energy drains quickly. Because your inner strength is lacking. It's also inevitable that your speed is slow. Because your physical strength is lacking. But the fact that your reactions themselves are slow is entirely your problem."

Seolsobaek's hand holding the sword was trembling. Not because he was shocked by Cheongmyeong's words, but simply because he was trembling from being utterly exhausted.

His condition was already a mess.

His once pure white clothing, like the eyes of the North Sea, was covered in dirt and dust, stained a reddish-yellow hue. Patches of dried black blood were scattered across it. His originally pale face had lost even its faint flush, making him appear almost corpse-like.

"Why?"

Cheongmyeong asked coldly while looking at Seolsobaek in that state.

"Are you going to continue like this?"

"No, no, Sosaengnim (Master)!"

Seolsobaek clenched the sword tightly with his trembling hand.

"You said it yourself, Sosaengnim. Whether I've done enough or not is up to me to decide!"

"...."

"I haven't done enough! So I have to do more!"

Cheongmyeong smirked.

"Like this?"

"...."

"Be honest. You don't have to do this. Nobody will disregard you just because you're weak. At least as long as I'm alive, no one in the North Sea will lay a hand on you."
Seolsobaek gritted his teeth.

"And objectively speaking, you've worked hard enough. No one will say that you've had an easy time. So before you harm yourself..."

"No!"

Seolsobaek burst out, cutting off Cheongmyeong's words. It was almost a scream, a voice akin to a scream. His fiery eyes glared directly at Cheongmyeong.

"I've done enough, worked hard enough!"

The shout echoed, clear and sharp.

"What's the point of that? Ultimately, the only meaning it holds is that I've become so weak that I can't even participate in Binggoong's training!"

"Isn't that natural? You started learning Moo Hak late, and you weren't even strong enough to become the head of the Binggoong to begin with."

"Why should it be natural?"

Seolsobaek shouted as if pouring out his emotions.

"Are there any opponents who understand that? How can I lead Binggoong's disciples, let alone protect the people of the North Sea, if the head of Binggoong is weak?"

"...."

"Being young doesn't absolve you of responsibility! The words that I'll become stronger later aren't just comforting words! It's essentially saying that I'm weak now and can't do what needs to be done!"

Seolsobaek pulled his sword out of the ground, where it had been stuck.

"I will become stronger. I will earn the qualification to lead Binggoong as the head. Sooner than anyone!"

"Anyway, this stubborn fool...."

"Thanks to whom I learned."

At that moment, Cheongmyeong immediately attacked Seolsobaek, swinging his sword. Seolsobaek quickly raised his sword to block, but in that moment, his body was sent flying uncontrollably.

His reactions were on time, but he couldn't withstand the force behind Cheongmyeong's strike.

"Ugh!"

Seolsobaek, who had been severely battered, eventually vomited blood. Watching this, Cheongmyeong approached with a stern expression.

"Unfair, isn't it?"

"...."

"I clearly reacted, but I'm still overpowered. This isn't something I can deal with. So how am I supposed to win? Are you telling me to just keep losing?"

Seolsobaek's eyes trembled slightly. The words were perfectly reflecting his sentiment.

"But you know, Gangho has always been like this. Unjust, and endlessly unfair. Effort? There's no guarantee that you'll get fair compensation for your effort. But..."

Cheongmyeong chuckled softly.

"But what can you do? Gangho is a place like that. Unjust and perpetually unfair. Effort? There's no guarantee that you'll get fair compensation for your effort. But..."

Cheongmyeong chuckled softly.

"But what can you do? If all you can do is make an effort, then you should do that. Isn't that right?"

Seolsobaek forced his trembling body to stand up.

"Cough!"
While coughing up blood, Seolsobaek stood his ground with determination. Cheongmyeong looked at him calmly and asked.

"You know, there's almost no chance that you'll grow enough to fulfill your part before this war happens. There's even less chance that you'll be able to perform your role as the head of Binggoong."

Seolsobaek nodded his head.

"Are you still going to do it?"

"Yes!"

"Even if it's pointless?"

"Yes!"

Seolsobaek's response contained not a hint of hesitation. Seeing that intense determination in his eyes, a satisfied smile appeared on Cheongmyeong's lips.

"You seem to be taking fewer hits. Shall we spar until you say you can't go on anymore?"

Cheongmyeong dashed straight towards Seolsobaek. In that moment, Seolsobaek also bit down and met Cheongmyeong's attack, striking the ground.

Meanwhile, Baekcheon, who had been watching the one-sided beating disguised as a sparring session, turned his head to look at Yoo Isul.

"Samae."

"Yes."

"... How long have you been doing that?"

"When?"

Yoo Isul slightly tilted her head, as if finding the question difficult to comprehend. However, before Baekcheon could clarify further, her answer came.

"From the first day... from the day after."

"The day after?"

"The day after Binggoong arrived."

Baekcheon flinched for a moment and looked back at Seolsobaek.

"Is today not the first day?"

So, this Cheongmyeong had been beating them during the day and training Seolsobaek at night?

No, that wasn't it. That's not the case.

"When did Binggoong arrive?"

Did that mean the head of Binggoong had been enduring this kind of one-on-one beating every night and still holding on?

"This is crazy..."

It's not a particularly strange sight. After all, he's always been... no, even more submissive to Cheongmyeong than Seolsobaek. But weren't they at a different level from the start?

Could Baekcheon endure such rigorous training?

"But he's enduring it, isn't he?"

Baekcheon was inwardly perplexed about how to interpret this situation. At that moment, Yoo Isul's indifferent voice whispered.

"He's growing."

"...Huh?"

"Every day. Remarkably fast, surprisingly."

Yoo Isul isn't one to give out generous praise easily. So, if she said something like this, it must mean that Seolsobaek is indeed rapidly getting stronger.

"Talent?"

No. It probably wasn't that.

Of course, Seolsobaek might have some talent, but Yoo Isul's statement implied that there's something more than just talent at play. And what that something was, there was no need to ponder.

"Uaaaaaaaah!"

Seolsobaek charged towards Cheongmyeong. It was a state where he might not even be able to land a proper hit and could collapse before reaching his opponent.

Seeing this, Baekcheon involuntarily clenched his fist.

"To go this far..."

He had worked excessively hard. He had been dedicated beyond measure. No one could deny that Baekcheon had given his all.

But at this moment, Baekcheon came to a realization.

"I knew that too."

He had worked hard enough, given his all, and thought that it would be difficult to do more than this. That's what he had inwardly assumed.

Watching Seolsobaek exert himself, using every ounce of strength to deliver even one more swing of his sword, Baekcheon felt it. He had inadvertently become someone who looked down on others from above.

"I am..."

Baekcheon turned his head towards Yoo Isul, his lips slightly trembling.

"Why, Samae?"

"...At first, it was by chance."

It was probably like that in the beginning.
Yoo Isul had always disliked showing her individual training to others. Not just at the volcano but even at the Jangwon where other martial artists gathered, it would have been quite embarrassing to train.

"No, does that mean... Samae has been doing personal training even after all of this?"

Even Baekcheon hadn't been doing it lately.

"After that..."

Yoo Isul started to say something but then closed her mouth. It probably meant that it was difficult to explain the exact reason.

However, Baekcheon seemed to understand why Yoo Isul wanted to watch this scene.

Thud!

Cheongmyeong kicked Seolsobaek's side, sending him flying. Then he mercilessly attacked Seolsobaek, who was lying on the ground.

"It's not easy to pull someone along."

"..."

"Standing in front isn't difficult. But pulling someone along is an entirely different matter. You have to work harder than anyone else and never fall behind. And you must have the confidence that you're clearly heading in the right direction."

"...Yes."

"Confidence comes from doubts. It comes from wondering if what you thought was wrong. Someday, you'll also reach a moment where you become trapped in the misconception that you're still right just by continuing what you've done up until now. The moment you think you can just keep doing what you've been doing."

Hearing those words, Baekcheon clenched his fist.

"Remember that."

Cheongmyeong said icily.

"When your position changes, what was right can become wrong, and what was wrong can become right. And no one knows when that will happen. It could be a year from now, or tomorrow, or maybe it was yesterday."

"..."

"So, if you don't want to be wrong, you have to constantly think and doubt."

Seolsobaek nodded his head with effort.

"Leading is like that. It's a tough job. But if you can do it..."

Cheongmyeong swung his sword in a circle.

"Binggung will truly have a capable leader."

"...Of course, that will happen."

"Who can't do it. Come at me."

"Yes!"

Seolsobaek clenched his teeth and charged at Cheongmyeong once again.

Cheongmyeong watched Seolsobaek as he rushed forward with his sword lowered, while Seolsobaek moved with all his might. Above them, the bright moon was hanging in the sky.

Unknowingly, Baekcheon closed his eyes.

"I wasn't stuck. I had just stopped in my place."

He clutched the sword, much like his own body. Rediscovering the sensation of that sword, which had become all too familiar and thus now comforting, he delved deeper and deeper within himself.

Seol Sobaek is one of my favorites now

"...Ah."

Baekcheon's face regained color as he accepted the cold water and gulped it down in one go.

In a way, it was quite an astonishing sight. Just by restraining the expression that had been disheveled and out of control, he looked like a different person.

"I'm sorry. I'm not feeling well."

"When were you ever well?"

"Yes?"

"...Never mind."

Danggunak gnawed at his lips. It seemed like those cursed volcano guys were influencing his speech habits. He was about to say something like that."

ahhh i reached the part where cm stares at soso's face trying to find traces of dangbo T^T im just.

Cheongmyeong stared at the face of Dang Soso without saying a word for a long time. As if trying to find the old traces on the face again.

But it didn't work out.

Dangbo's face, which I saw in my dream a while ago, is far away. From some point on, his face often doesn't come to mind.

Even though it is endlessly clear, it becomes blurry at some point. like it's getting dull little by little.

You're indeed angry..clam down and think for yourself..stop being a meany..
Be happy
Anyways he was shocked cuz baekcheon still wasn't qualified in Chung myung's eye and was extra shocked cuz people agreed to that ( EMOTIONAL DAMAGE )
He was betrayed beyond belief
And I'll tell you my guy since you're new.

Never question and try to understand Chung myung's reaction antics and mind, thoughts, you won't, never , will be able to understand that dragon of a devil in a human disguise. We never will.
But one thing is sure.
He's simple yet complicated.
He does everything for hwasan
Hwasan is everything to him.
It's his home.

Anyways (What would you do if someone who was just born was made a president of your country? Throws hands or question the reality. Right? That's how I can describe Chung myung feeling abt baekcheon's position. Poor grandpa )
