<-- Episode 66: Chapter 5 A swordsman speaks with his sword, and a craftsman speaks with iron (1) -->
Phew!
The broken sword fragment was stuck on the floor.
“her!”
Someone’s lament and despair were scattered in the wind. He looked at his broken sword in confusion.
It was Mujin.
The bamboo sword was broken in two.
“How… … I went all the way to the end of the exam… … .”
Clearly, no anticipation or energy was felt from Jin Mu-won’s sword. Nevertheless, the sword that was opened with a sword split into two.
It was something his common sense could not understand.
He raised his head and looked ahead. Jin Mu-won holds a snowflake to his neck. It was a complete defeat.
“What happened? How can Geomgang… … .”
“Geomgang is a technique that releases energy to the outside and condenses it. On the contrary, I concentrated my energy and increased the density to the limit.”
“Is it a difference in density?”
“From my perspective… That’s right.”
“is it? “I cannot accept it, but I will admit defeat.”
Mujin gritted his teeth. His shoulders are shaking pitifully.
Jin Mu-won took the story. Then Seolhwa trembled as if she felt regretful.
Mujin sighed towards the sky.
“Are you saying you’ve done a great job with this kind of skill? It’s a shame, Mujin. “You can’t withstand even a second of your opponent.”
Jin Mu-won silently looked at Mu-jin like that. This is because I know that at times like this, it is better to watch in silence rather than hastily offer comfort.
Mujin looked at Jin Muwon again.
“Keep one thing in mind. “This is only my defeat, not the communal faction’s defeat.”
“I know.”
“With this, I will end all my favors with you.”
“thank you.”
“I will go to the closing room after I resolve all of this. After that, I will challenge you again. So, swordsman from the north, will you accept my challenge in the future?”
“I will gladly accept it.”
“Thank you.”
Mujin looked at Jinmuwon with mixed eyes.
I feel like I’m having a nightmare. I never thought there would be such a swordsman in the world. While he was well over forty, the other person was only in his mid-twenties at best. What an achievement at that age.
‘Are you saying you’re a genius? The sky is so unfair. After Chilsocheon, you can’t believe we’re sending out such a ridiculous being again.’
Chilsocheon are the best players in the current powerhouse. They achieved achievements that surpassed those of Mujin when they were only in their early or mid-twenties.
Beings born with natural talents, that is, talents given by heaven.
Their backgrounds are also unique. God-given talent and the best environment combined to achieve an achievement that no one can dare to surpass.
A tremendous talent that even Mujin, the best player in the Gongpa faction, can’t match, and an environment that supports him. So although he may have been jealous, he was not frustrated.
Their presence was a great stimulus to Mujin. I thought that no matter how gifted I was, I could catch up with them if I just worked a little harder. The Chilsocheon seemed like creatures from a fantasy, but anyway, it felt like I could reach them if I just stretched out my hand.
But Jin Mu-won was different from them. It felt like it was somewhere far away, out of reach.
‘Maybe it’s a talent comparable to Changcheon’s old voice… … .’
Mujin recalled a man he met a long time ago. He was so outstanding that I couldn’t even be jealous of him, a young warrior who moved the times.
“phew!”
Mujin sighed and pledged to use today’s defeat as an opportunity for development. He picked up the broken sword.
There are mixed emotions in Mujin’s eyes. Jin Mu-won watched the scene in silence.
A difficult night was passing.
The next morning, the leaders of the communist ruling party came down. They captured Muhae, Muwol, and others and took them to Gonggongsan Mountain.
Mujin spoke to Jinmuwon before following them.
“I have heard everything about your situation. “You’re going to Yunnan to visit your relatives?”
“That’s right.”
“You wasted a precious day here because of us. In exchange for that, I’ll introduce you to someone. When you arrive in Kunming, Yunnan Province, find He Jinyue, the Three Brains Book Saint. You and I are old friends. Since he’s such a standout guy, it won’t be that difficult to find him. “If you tell him my name, he will help you.”
“thank you.”
Mu-jin looked at Kwak Mun-jeong, who was standing next to Jin Mu-won.
“Our community owes you a great debt.”
“No, I don’t have anything…” … .”
“As long as I am, the Dongong Sect will never forget your grace. And you will always be welcome.”
Major Ham, who was next to Mujin, waved his hand.
“Oppa, are you definitely going to stop by Gongpa?”
“I will definitely go.”
“i’ll wait.”
Major Ham smiled brightly. But before she knew it, there were teardrops in her eyes.
Jin Mu-won watched their farewell in silence. Their appearance reminded Jin Mu-won of one person.
My heart ached.
＊＊＊
The Baekryong Merchant Marine Corps crossed the river on the Unmado River Line and headed south along the Guando River.
It would be lively after crossing the river, but the atmosphere at Baekryong Sangdan was very strange. The mood of not only the iron cavalry who drove the horses at the front but also the staff was depressed. To be precise, they were currently watching only one person.
The person they were paying attention to was Jin Mu-won, who was driving the carriage at the rear. Last night’s incident had a great shock not only to the Bopyos but also to the warriors of the Iron Gidang.
Until yesterday, Jin Moo-won was just a foodie with little presence, but the situation completely changed in one night.
He subdued six of the first disciples of the Joint Sect and Mujin, who could be considered the next Jangmunin. The communal faction shrugged it off, but it was something that happened in a very small town. What was even more strange was that the staves did not notice that fact.
Although it was a minor group, the Dongong faction was one of the old Daemun factions. It is a huge force with hundreds of warriors who can criticize the powerful. Mu-jin, Mu-hae, and others whom Jin Mu-won subdued possessed weapons and talents that could be considered outstanding among the hundreds of warriors.

Jin Mu-won subdued those people without even a scratch. That means his power is at least at its peak. The staves were a state beyond heaven that one could not even dare to dream of.
Naturally, there was bound to be a sense of distance, and the staff members were reluctant to get close to Jin Mu-won, as if an intangible barrier was blocking them.
The people who were more shocked than anyone else were Jong-ri Mu-hwan, the deputy head of the Iron Party, and Seo-in Yoon, the person responsible for this expedition.
No matter what the outcome was, Zhong Li Wuhuan predicted that Jin Muyuan would have a big fight with the communal faction. However, contrary to his expectations, the relationship between Jin Mu-won and the communal faction did not worsen that much.
No matter what the shape is, it appears to be well-sealed.
‘He always exceeds my expectations.’
As with any tactician, Zhong Li Wuhuan also hated situations he couldn’t control. So I felt burdened by Jin Mu-won, who always exceeded my expectations.
Yoon Seo-in was better than Jong-li Mu-hwan. There was so much verbal abuse, but in the end, the conflict with the communal faction was resolved without any problems.
Moreover, it was difficult for her to even speak to Mujin, who was an ambassador, and recognized Jin Muwon. That meant that the communal faction recognized Jin Mu-won.
Yoon Seo-in’s gaze turned to Kwak Mun-jeong, who was following Jin Mu-won by his side. Although he looked down on him as just a young boy, Mujin said that he owed him a lot. This also meant that Kwak Mun-jeong would receive the protection of the communal faction.
‘Things have become too big. To the extent that it is impossible to resolve it within my means.’
Seoin Yoon sighed softly.
Now it’s too late to apologize. In any case, she was the person in charge of this expedition. I couldn’t show my ugly self by apologizing in front of everyone.
Jin Mu-won, who had caused so many conflicts and concerns to everyone, was actually driving the horse with a relaxed expression. This is because he was able to establish his own identity based on the conflict with his communal faction.
I have clearly decided on the direction I need to go. We will face many conflicts and crossroads in the future, but as long as we have a clear direction, there will be no stopping.
As Jin Mu-won smiled, Kwak Mun-jeong rode his horse and came next to him.
“brother!”
“Why are you doing that?”
“No, just.”
Kwak Mun-jeong smiled as if he were embarrassed. It looks like his excitement hasn’t subsided yet.
It was clear that what happened last night would be a big inflection point for the boy named Kwak Moon-jeong. Kwak Moon-jeong also instinctively felt this fact.
Kwak Mun-jeong looked at Jin Mu-won with bright eyes. His eyes were full of respect. Jin Mu-won felt burdened by the look in Kwak Mun-jeong’s eyes.
“why?”
“Because I respect you.”
“I?”
“yes! How are you so strong in martial arts? “I really didn’t know that my brother would be like that.”
When Hwang Cheol told the story about Jin Mu-won, it was Kwak Mun-jeong who did not really realize it. She thought there might have been some bragging involved. But everything Hwang Cheol said was true.
Jin Mu-won had martial arts skills that were strong enough to mislead the communal faction, and above all, he had a stronger mind than anyone else. He was proud to be able to call this person his older brother.
Then, when he suddenly thought about his situation, his expression quickly became glum.
“When will I become strong like my brother?”
It was good that the communal faction’s issue was resolved, but his role was nothing more than a burden to Jin Mu-won from beginning to end. Although he could not become as strong as Jin Mu-won, he also wanted to become strong. So he wanted to become a proud staff.
Jin Mu-won smiled. This is because I understand Kwak Mun-jeong’s feelings.
“Munjeong.”
“yes?”
“Hwangsuk, the three-won mind method that you taught me is not an ordinary mind method. It is very slow to learn at first, but once you reach a certain level, you can progress very quickly. So don’t be too hasty and learn it steadily.”
“yes!”
“And let me give you one piece of advice: use a sword that is heavier than the sword you are using now.”
“How much?”
“Use a heavy sword that is at least twice as heavy, and eventually up to four times as heavy as you get used to it. A heavy heavy sword is better suited to your three-center method.”
“yes! “I will definitely do that!”
Kwak Mun-jeong did not express any doubts about Jin Mu-won’s advice. He trusted Jin Mu-won to the point of blindness.
