## English Release

Season 1

The **36th chapter** of the webtoon was released in Korean on Naver Webtoon (Series) (2021), and later in English on Webtoons (2022).

Yoo Iseol comments on what an unusual child he is, and Cheongmyeong realizes he'll need to find a new secret training spot. At Zhongnan's request, the Huazhong contest is advanced 6 months ahead of schedule, and Cheongmyeong rallies the dejected 3rd-grade disciples, promising them he will make sure they defeat Zhongnan as long as they're willing to die for victory.

## Summary

Cheongmyeong is still taken by her beauty, when Iseol sharpens her blade to urge him to answer. He explains he's a new 3rd-grade disciple who has special permission to leave the sect grounds freely. He notes she's a bit ditzy, as she realizes that he'll still be named Cheongmyeong even after the sect gives him a new name. She introduces herself as a 2nd grade disciple from the Baek line, before asking him to mind his manners and greet her properly as her junior. She lets him know she'll confirm what he said with the sect leader, and warns him that there will be consequences if she finds out he's lying. As she walks off, she comments what an unusual child he is. Realizing his secret training spot is bust, he thinks to himself that he'll better find a new one.

At the dining hall, Cheongmyeong notices that all the 3rd-grade disciples sighing, and Yunjong explains that the Baek-line disciples are returning today. They underwent isolation training outside of Mount Hua, since the sect hadn't been able to maintain the training halls properly, in preparation for the Huazhong contest. Cheongmyeong realizes this is another way that Zhongnan is mocking their sect, and rallies the other 3rd-grade disciples to thrash those Zhongnan bastards and promises to make sure they win.

Elsewhere, Unam reports to the sect leader that the 2nd-grade disciples are approaching and are reaching Huayin. The sect leader explains that Zhongnan messaged them, and so the Huazhong contest is being held 6 months earlier than scheduled. Unam expresses his worries, as it's still too soon for the disciples to use the new martial techniques they rediscovered in practice, and that another humiliating defeat may demoralize the 3rd-grade disciples completely. Hyun Jong reasons that running away now will definitely not provide them any hope, and that as martial artists they should face fights head on and try again if they fail. He orders Unam to welcome the 2nd-grade disciples warmly with good food and liquor, as they have traveled far and worked hard.

Cheongmyeong admits that he has never seen young trainees improve so quickly before, but that they are still a long way off the skill level of 3rd-grade disciples from his time, and that they're still to weak to face off against Zhongnan with Jo Gul and Yunjong being notable exceptions. They question how they are supposed to defeat Zhongnan in a forthnight if even months of training is not enough, and Cheongmyeong replies if they're ready to die for victory.
