I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Chapter 98



Episode 98 Dragon of Fire and Bird of Ice

“Speak.”

Baek Woo-jin had received help from Lee Young-hyeon and had given him instructions before, so he decided to grant the favor as long as it was not difficult.

[Did you know that the association operates an academy for low-level abilities?]

“Of course I know.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded.

Of course I knew that the association runs educational institutions free of charge for people with low abilities.

[The Academy holds an event every two months where it invites talented seniors to hear their advice and experiences.]

Baek Woo-jin’s face lit up with an unexpected light as he listened to Lee Young-hyun’s words. I finally realized what he was trying to say.

[In selecting talented people to invite through voting, it is said that the prosecutor overwhelmingly came in first place this time. If you have time, could you please participate in the event?]

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin could not answer right away.

-This is an unexpected request.

‘I know. I thought you were going to ask me to help you deal with the criminals.’

Since it was Lee Young-hyun’s request, I thought it was definitely related to a criminal.

I didn’t expect such a peaceful request to come.

-Actually, you’re perfect for that job.

‘what?’

-You just have to say one word. ‘It’s luck,’ he said.

Darkness circled around Baek Woo-jin and burst into laughter.

‘Ugh…’

Baek Woo-jin sighed inwardly and put the phone to his ear again.

“Why is the manager telling me that?”

[The request must have been officially sent to Baekga. However, I wonder if he thought I was close to the prosecutor. A professor at the academy asked me to speak.]

“I see.”

[The association does not receive anything at all. [This is an event held simply to provide help to beginners.]

Given Lee Young-hyun’s personality, he would never have told the story if it was something like a request, but he seems to have brought it up because he wanted to help those with low-level abilities.

[If you feel burdened, I will decline…]

“I will go.”

[Are you serious?]

“If you have such good intentions, of course you should go.”

-okay. Go ahead and say that the secret to my strength is ‘10% hard work and 90% luck.’ As soon as you draw a card, Unique jumps…

‘Shut up.’

Baek Woo-jin pushed away the darkness and put the phone to his ear again.

[thank you! They said the schedule would be tailored to the prosecutor. When would it be convenient?]

“Well, I have to boil the beef bones for three days. “Friday, five days later, would be better.”

[All right! Your students will be so happy! Thank you so much!]

Younghyun Lee hung up the phone with a smile on his face.

“uh?”

I was happy that Baek Woo-jin was coming, but after I hung up the phone, something felt strange.

“ethmoid?”

* * *

Oh Seong-hwan was overlooking the night view of Seoul from the top floor of his building.

“My lord.”

The door opened and secretary Baek Ji-heon came in.

“Baek Woo-jin decided to come to the association’s academy.”

“After defeating the Minotaur, go to the Association’s academy…”

Seonghwan Oh chuckled and took a sip of his drink.

“What a gorgeous guy.”

“It’s 8pm on Friday night. “I think this is the right time to target Baek Woo-jin.”

“It looks like that, but it’s not at all.”

Oh Seong-hwan put down his drink and shook his head.

“yes?”

Baek Ji-heon opened his eyes wide as if he was embarrassed.

“Is it strange?”

“That’s right. “Baek Woo-jin is definitely strong, but if he takes a hostage at the academy, I could kill him.”

“I think so too. “Now is not the time to move.”

Oh Seong-hwan turned and looked at Baek Ji-heon.

His eyes were as calm as a lake.

“First, Baek Woo-jin’s current strength is not properly understood. “I judged the guy’s level to be mid-level 6 at best, but the power he showed this time far exceeded my expectations.”

When Seonghwan Oh raised his hand, the TV that filled the entire wall turned on.

A scene of Baek Woo-jin and Minotaur fighting was playing on TV.

“He fought the Minotaur head-on. In particular, the linked sword technique used at the end can easily be considered level 7. Considering it hasn’t been used from the start, it seems like there are some limitations, but it’s definitely strong. Plus, he didn’t even summon a spirit.”

“Now that I think about it, you didn’t even call the spirit…”

Baek Ji-heon was so distracted by Baek Woo-jin’s destructive power that he now realized that he didn’t even call the spirit.

“Actually, the second reason is more important. “You too, but the whole world is being deceived by him.”

Seonghwan Oh let out a cold laugh.

“yes?”

“Baek Woo-jin is being condescending. He is not as good as you and other humans think. “That guy…”

Oh Seong-hwan stopped talking and looked at the door.

The sound of something breaking was coming from beyond the door.

Quang!

The door burst open and a man came in.

“dare! “Where am I?”

“it’s okay.”

When Baek Ji-heon was about to attack the intruder, Oh Seong-hwan raised his hand.

“long time no see.”

A thick voice, as if phlegm had accumulated, came from the man.

“I came here to repay you for visiting, but it’s a shabby place for Jeokundaeju’s residence.”

“Shin Chang-hoon.”

The intruder who broke down the door and appeared was Shin Chang-hoon.

Both of his arms, which had been torn off by Baek Woo-jin, remained healthy as if nothing had happened.

However, the color of the right arm and hand was translucent as if it were ground ice, and the left hand was painted yellow as if it had been coated with clay.

“Your arm…”

Oh Seong-hwan frowned.

I could feel it as soon as I saw Shin Chang-hoon’s arm.

That’s not a prosthetic hand or anything.

It was clearly an arm created through a contract of some unknown kind.

“this? It was much better than the arm I had before. It’s sturdy and doesn’t hurt. But…”

Shin Chang-hoon’s mouth smiled like a ghost.

The laugh was so cruel that Baek Ji-heon, who was watching, took a step back.

“The pain remains. “Very, very excruciating pain.”

Shin Chang-hoon let out a creepy laugh that sounded like he was scratching his teeth.

“I heard an amazing story. “I heard Baek Woo-jin is coming to the association’s academy?”

Shin Chang-hoon turned his head to Baek Ji-heon.

Naturalization was blooming in his eyes.

“Say it. “What does that mean?”

“Uh…”

“Tell me.”

“That’s Baek Woo-jin on Friday…”

At Oh Seong-hwan’s instructions, Baek Ji-heon told the story about Baek Woo-jin to Shin Chang-hoon.

“It’s perfect. “It’s perfect!”

Shin Chang-hoon clenched his fists.

Small ice particles fell from his right hand.

“I will take charge of this matter. If you have any complaints….”

“No. “The guy who didn’t have arms came out with arms, so I can make that much concession.”

Seonghwan Oh smiled and raised his glass.

“Do whatever you want.”

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but Baek Woo-jin is going to die this time.”

Shin Chang-hoon watched Oh Seong-hwan drinking leisurely and snickered.

“I understand, so do whatever you want.”

“….”

Shin Chang-hoon and Oh Seong-hwan said no more and were glaring at each other.

“You coward.”

Shin Chang-hoon turned his head first and left the room.

“Great Lord. Would you mind? If Shin Chang-hoon kills Baek Woo-jin, inside the guild…”

“It’s okay. “Because even if Shin Chang-hoon kills Baek Woo-jin, he will not survive.”

“yes?”

“That guy used gold magic.”

Oh Seong-hwan drank the last drink and broke the glass.

His eyepatch flashed gold.

“By sacrificing his life.”

* * *

Boogggg.

Baek Woo-jin was blankly watching the pot boiling in his room.

The ingredients I requested from Jinah arrived the same day, and I’ve been making red bone soup for three days already.

– It’s almost over, so focus.

“But is it right to boil it like this? “The bones have completely melted?”

No matter how many times you boil the beef bones, the bones remain, but the red bones began to dissolve in the soup on the second day, and now the bones and medicinal ingredients have dissolved and turned into a red soup.

-It’s going well. Is this the beef bone you were talking about? It’s completely different from that. That’s soup, but this is elixir.

“Of course it’s different, but the visuals are too much. “It’s like lava!”

-It originally looked like this. Don’t worry, various herbs and medicines are melting together to create the perfect red bone soup.

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin scratched his chin and looked inside the pot.

At first it felt new because it felt like cooking, but now it felt like I was watching bones melting in lava.

Sigh.

The last remaining tip of the red bone melted, leaving only a completely red soup.

-That’s it. Now turn off the heat and place it in a bowl.

Baek Woo-jin turned off the fire and put the soup from the pot into a large bowl.

The soup hardened like jelly in no time.

“Is this really true? “It hardened in an instant?”

-There are a lot of doubts. This is the fifth time I have made that red bone soup. There are no mistakes.

Heukam swallowed the words, ‘This is my first time making it with Seven Flower Lotus, so it may be a little different.’

“It feels like looking at red acorn jelly.”

Baek Woo-jin lifted the bowl.

Jeokgoltang trembled and showed off its firmness.

“How much will my physical abilities increase if I eat this?”

-I do not know either. It depends on your body and how much care you put into boiling it.

“Qualitative?”

-You have put enough effort into it, so you don’t have to worry. In addition, since two elixirs were added, there will be good changes in the body, stamina and mana.

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin looked down at the red bone soup that lightly reflected his face.

-It’s all hardened, so eat it now. You will be able to swallow it like a cake. And…

“And?”

-no. You will know when you eat it.

“It’s bland.”

Baek Woo-jin scooped up a large piece of red bone soup and put it in his mouth.

“uh…?”

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes widened.

“This is…”

The jelly-like red bone soup melted in an instant and lingered softly in my mouth.

The deep taste of the sweet yet rich beef broth coiled around my tongue like a snake.

“Hi, my tongue melts!”

Baek Woo-jin lifted the bowl without realizing it and slurped down the red bone soup.

-That’s the taste of food that two people won’t even know if one of them dies after eating it.

“therefore!”

Even after Baek Woo-jin emptied the red bone soup, he still felt regret and looked at the empty bowl.

-Jeokgoltang is famous as a delicacy in our continent. It’s hard for even a king to eat it once in his life.

“I really can’t explain this taste in words. Directly… huh?”

Baek Woo-jin’s face, who was feeling the pleasure of the taste, hardened.

I couldn’t open my mouth because so much heat was rising inside my body.

-There will be no time to talk. Use the Auror practice right away.

Baek Woo-jin immediately sat cross-legged and began practicing Aura.

The heavy energy that flowed from Jeokgoltang spread not only to the Danjeon but also to all parts of the body.

Pop!

The sounds of bones moving and muscles twisting were heard in Baek Woo-jin’s body, but his expression did not change.

Rather, he was smiling refreshingly, as if he was cool.

-hmm?

As the sound of bones moving continued, his clothes began to turn black.

-Are you saying waste products are also being lost due to changes in body shape?

The sound of bones twisting is the sound of Baek Woo-jin’s body changing, and the black coloring of his clothes means that waste products from his body are being removed.

Since those two phenomena occurred at the same time, Baek Woo-jin’s body movements and use of durability aura will become much better than before.

-Jeokgol-tang with chilji hwaryeon on a body that has been toned through hard work. And is it thanks to the blessings of the system? I really can’t match that guy’s luck.

Even though the darkness frowned, it did not leave Baek Woo-jin’s side as if he was guarding him. It stayed by his side without moving a single inch.

As the sun set and the sun appeared in the sky again, the sound coming from Baek Woo-jin’s body stopped and the sweat stopped.

Ding!

When Baek Woo-jin opened his closed eyes, a cheerful sound rang in his ears.

[Physical stats have increased.]

[Mana stats have increased.]

[Physical stats have increased .]

[Auror resistance has increased .]

[Four major attribute resistances have increased.] [

Body waste has been removed, resulting in greater strength. You can use it.]

Ding!

Before Baek Woo-jin and Heuk-am could read the information window, a second notification was heard.

[You have created and absorbed Jeokgol-tang for the first time.]

[The level of Jeokgol-tang is very high.]

[You are given new physical characteristics.]
