Episode 26: Bloodline wins (1)
Kwon Kwon-ul stood still for a moment.
Fortunately, I was able to quickly regain my composure because it had happened to me many times.
First of all, I opened the status window and checked the lineage.

‘… … It multiplied again.’
The lineage ??? If so, there was a high possibility that the lineage would emerge again in the future.
‘What happened to my body?’
A lineage is a lineage because you can only have one lineage. Holding more than one will cause the body to disintegrate and die.
At least by a miracle, there might be someone who has two.
However, having as many as five bloodlines like Gwonwool did not make sense no matter how much I thought about it.
‘My father was a descendant of the Black Sky. So, is there something on your mother’s side?’
Conversely, there could be something on the father’s side, or maybe both.
‘Let’s find out about our parents after this job is over.’
Kwon-wool thought so and decided to put aside his worries about his lineage first.
Right now, I had to prepare for a group exhibition with the May family.
Then, all of a sudden, I had this idea.
‘Isn’t there no true blood in the Mei family?’
Unlike the healthy blood and genius blood obtained earlier, the Sura blood is a bloodline possessed by a great family called the May family.
Have you obtained the true blood of such a family?
Perhaps Kwon Kwon-wool’s opening of the True Sura Blood was a bigger deal than I thought.
– We will be landing soon.
Kwon-wool’s thoughts were stopped by the captain’s announcement that followed.
* * *
A city in Hangzhou, China.
From noble mtl dot com.
There, a large plane landed along the runway.
As soon as the door opened, someone jumped out as if they had been waiting for it.
“Ha ha ha! It’s been a while here too!”
The first person to get off the plane was Kwon Myung-woo.
Kwon Myung-wu took a stride, forgetting that this place was in the middle of the May family.
After that, the clans of the Dark Heaven descended. Among them, Kwon Wol was also mixed.
Kwon-wool looked around.
Like the Heukcheon family, the Mei family had Hangzhou as their base.
The difference is that unlike the Heukcheon family, which was built on the basis of a hanok, the Mei family was full of modern buildings.
“You have worked hard to come this far.”
I heard Chinese from afar. When I looked up, I saw people in traditional Chinese clothes standing in front of me.
As Kwon Myung-wu moved towards it, his blood relatives from Heukcheon followed him.
The Mei family in red traditional clothes and the Black Heaven clan in black suits face each other.
“The Mei family warmly welcomes the Black Sky!”
A middle-aged man in the middle shouted loudly.
Even though he was clearly speaking in Chinese, Kwon-wool could accurately understand the meaning of the middle-aged man.
It was thanks to the interpreting skills I had received before coming here.
ears and eyes flash
-Quality: Unique (A)
-explanation
You will be able to understand the languages and scripts of other cultures.
However, the subtle vocabulary is unknown.
Although it is not a subspace skill, the interpretation skill is also famous for being quite difficult to obtain.
But that’s a story that goes elsewhere. At the Heukcheon Group, interpreting skills were just something that was handed out right away when needed.
“May-Tian! To think that the head of the Mei family would personally welcome you! This is an honor!”
“A special guest is coming. Of course, shouldn’t the owner greet you?”
Surprisingly, I thought the atmosphere was not bad, but soon I realized that such an idea was just an illusion.
“I didn’t know that the first volume of the Dark Heaven would come together. You must have been so frightened to step into the heart of the May family? The Dark Heaven of the world acting like a coward!”
Kwon Myung-wu laughed in response to Mei-tien’s provocation, the head of the Mei family.
“If I had been afraid of the Mei family, I wouldn’t have come. The reason I came here is purely because I am bored.”
Despite the verbal abuse, the two of them still had smiles on their faces.
At that time, someone walked out from behind the Mei family.
“Still too much arrogance.”
Kwon Myung-woo’s eyes changed on the man’s face.
“Meilung. You also had the best sword ever.”
“How many times have you told me? It’s called China’s No. 1 sword.”
“Even if you don’t dare to discuss China while leaving behind Heukcheon. The number one sword in China for a subject who has never defeated me?”
The best sword in the middle of the day, meilong.
Kwon Kwon-ul was also a man whose name had been heard many times.
It was no exaggeration to say that if the Heukcheon family had Kwon Myeong-ho, the Mei family had Mei-long.
However, like the Heukcheon and Mei families, the gap between the two was very large.
For decades, Meilong has never defeated Kwon Myung-wu.
‘They are the Mei family.’
Kwon-wool slowly observed the blood relatives of the May family. I’ve heard of it many times, but this was the first time I’ve seen it in person.
The entire clan had smooth and white skin, to the point that there was a saying that if you touched it, white sand would ooze out.
Some of them were glaring at me with strong hostility.
‘They seem to be the representatives of the Mei family.’
The number of people was just right, two men and one woman. Everyone was putting on confident faces.
‘Except for the female side.’
Among the representatives of the May family, the only female representative had a somewhat heterogeneous atmosphere.
He harbored strong hostility, but the target didn’t seem to be Heukcheon.
Above all, he looked sad and very tired.
‘It’s none of my business.’
It was when Kwon-wool thought so. May family head asked Kwon Myung-woo.
“I have prepared a special banquet for the guests coming today. Would you like to come and eat?”
“Oh, that’s good. I was still hungry… … .”
“Wait!”
Kwon Mi stepped forward and shouted.
“The person in charge of this group exhibition is me, not Uncle Kwon Myung-woo! You should ask me about that!”
Family Head May looked at Kwon Myung-woo with a serious face. Kwon Myung-wu put his hands behind his back as if Kwon-mi was right, and withdrew.
“I’m sorry about this. Then what will you do?”
“Thank you for the favor, but I don’t have enough time to enjoy the banquet.”
Kwon-wool predicted what Kwon-mi was thinking.
Kwon Mi has no intention of eating food that the May family may have played.
“Then what will you do?”
“This is not a place to make friends. I suggest starting the group exhibition right now.”
It’s been a few minutes since I arrived, so it’s a group exhibition.
The blood relatives of the May family looked surprised. Maya asked again.
“It must have been difficult to come here. Do you really not need to rest?”
“it’s okay. If it’s a break, it’s because I was drunk enough on the plane.”
A smile came to May’s lips.
“Good. Then let’s get started right away.”
* * *
The Mei family guided the Black Heaven clans to their arena.
The building built with the latest construction method was more appropriately described as a stadium than a duel.
The seats were arranged in a circle so that tens of thousands of people could sit around the arena.
The seats were quite full. There were only a few people in Heukcheon, so they were all from the Mei family.
“Today these guys are full of confidence. To prepare such a grandiose stage.”
Kwon Myeong-wu muttered as if he didn’t like it. Then he shouted at the three representatives.
“You guys! We must win!”
“yes!”
Kwon Kwon-ul alone answered in a loud voice. Even if it was because Kwon Hu-don stuttered, it was strange that Kwon Ji-seok’s voice was small.
“Uh, ugh, bitter inside.”
Kwon Ji-seok was stroking his stomach with a pale face. Seeing that, Kwon-wool asked as if he was dumbfounded.
“Do you have neurogenic gastritis?”
“If there is, uh, what are you going to do!”
Kwon Ji-seok got angry. But there was no force like before.
‘I can see why Grandpa said that if you’re not nervous, you’re a captain.’
Perhaps this was the reason why he was the last among his brothers to be allowed to form a team.
It would have been worth it if I hadn’t been able to play an active part because of gastritis at every important moment.
“Then let’s send the vanguard on both sides.”
“All right.”
At May’s words, Kwon Mi glared at Kwon Wool with a scary face.
It was as if he would not let go if he was defeated.
Kwon-wool opened the subspace, put his hand in, and took out the glove.
For the sake of fairness in this group exhibition, the Heukcheon family and the May family decided to produce and provide equipment only with the materials determined by each other.
These gloves and leggings were just that.
“Are you sure that’s a subspace?”
Kwon Ji-seok, who was next to him, shouted in surprise. Gwon-ul said indifferently.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I couldn’t find one because there were no sellers… … Where the hell did you get it from?”
“The president gave it to you.”
At those words, Kwon Ji-seok’s face went blank.
“Grandpa just gave me subspace skills? That heartless person? No, that’s nonsense.”
Kwon Wol left Kwon Ji Seok alone and went up to the arena.
On the other side, Mei Chau, the vanguard of the Mei family, could be seen coming up.
May Chow rotated the knife several times in the air, perhaps in an attempt to free her wrist.
Every time that happened, a thin line was drawn on the floor. The anticipation of the auror was frighteningly strong.
“Hey, black earthworm!”
Suddenly, Mei Chau shouted.
black earthworm?
Kwon Kwon-ul, who wondered what that meant, soon realized that he was demeaning the blood relatives of Heukcheon.
“Don’t give me any advice. It’s better to give up early.”
Mei Chow said in a very confident voice.
“You and I are of different bloodlines. My father is the number one sword in China.”
A laugh broke out at those words. No matter how good the pedigree is, it would be pure blood, but it’s like promoting it.
And that, of course, to the true blood himself.
“Don’t cry after being beaten for talking bullsh*t, shut up.”
Gwon-wool could not afford to accept Mei-chau’s bullsh*t.
A sense of exhilaration about the battle was dominating his entire body. I wanted to explode and show off my strength right now.
“This guy… … .”
Mei Chau’s eyes darkened. At that time, the May family shouted.
“Both of you move all the way left and right.”
The arena was oval.
Kwon Wol and Mei Chau moved to both sides of the arena.
Upon arriving at the end of the arena, Mei Chau’s figure appeared small.
Gwonwool wore a glove on his hand. Then, I felt a strange energy in the glove.
＜Suragi dwells in the glove.＞
＜The durability and attack power of the gloves are slightly increased.＞
＜The mastery of authority increases.＞
I can’t believe Sura blood is applied to the glove. I was surprised for a moment, but I tried to adapt right away.
After clenching his fists a few times, Finney felt like he wasn’t even wearing the light glove.
“Then start!”
Mayor May shouted. Immediately, Mei Chow braced himself and screamed.
“Haaa!”
In its own way, right before the battle, it must have been a movement to ignite the fighting spirit.
But then it was too late. Too late, too late.
This side was already all ready before the start signal went down.
Gwon-wool bent both knees. The air began to rotate around where he was standing.
＜The devil’s power ‘Monarque’ is manifested.＞
The authority obtained by subjugating the demon Marquis ‘Bernak’.
That authority brought a strong wind. The strong wind condensed under Kwon-ul’s feet, ready to explode at any time.
“What is that?”
“wind? Did Heukcheon have such a skill?”
The blood relatives of the May family began to mumble at the unusual sight.
＜Release the first power, ‘Dragon Demon Spirit’.＞
A black aura welled up all over Kwon-wool’s body. The black aura collided with Monarque’s strong wind and rebelled.
Using that power as gunpowder, he kicked the ground. The floor shattered and the body flew out.
A strong wind pushes the body away. Every time it strikes the ground, the dragon demon explodes under its feet and speeds up.
“Uh huh? uh?”
Mei Chau’s face was stained with bewilderment.
It was faster to reach Gwon-ul than to make a judgment. Mei Chow was confused, not knowing what to do.
In the meantime, Gwon-wool had arrived. I threw out my fist with all my might. Mei Chow managed to lay the blade down and parry the attack.
Gloves and longswords collide with each other. At that moment, Kwon-wool could see it.
The Suragi in the glove smashing the Suragi in the sword.
The sword is shattered. The fist that did not lose momentum pierced Mei Chau’s torso.
At the same time, Mei Chau’s body was slammed into the wall outside the arena.
The walls were shattered and dust covered all sides.
Before long, the dust cleared, and Mei Chau, slumped against the wall, appeared.
It ended with just one effective hit.
Silence fell within the arena. Gwon-ul brushed his hands and spat out briefly.
“It’s easy.”
Immediately after that, shocking reactions poured in from the blood relatives of the Mei family.
“Ji, could it be that Mei Chow lost?”
“Meilong-sama’s successor lost?”
“Um, who the hell is that blood relative of the Dark Heaven?”
Within 10 seconds of the duel starting, the winner was decided.
Even the audience, who were watching from a third person’s point of view, found it difficult to accept this result.
“Ha ha ha ha! okay! It should be! What did I say! I said that kid is fit for the vanguard!”
Hearing Kwon Myung-woo’s laughter, Kwon Kwon-ul came down the arena.
