Chapter 90

"Are you really going to enter?"

Jeok Leegeon nodded at Jeong Charyeon's question. In the past, she would have nagged him about why he was trying to commit suicide in the Heavenly Dragon Battle, but things were different now.

"Why?"

Jeong Charyeon was curious about the reason. Jeok Leegeon was definitely skilled enough to participate in the Heavenly Dragon Battle. But the Jeok Leegeon she had seen so far wasn't the type to enter the Martial Arts Tournament to gain fame.

"Is it related to that Supreme Domination? Is it something that will help?"

"Of course."

"How does it help?"

"You'll see."

Jeong Charyeon pouted slightly.

He's always like this.

The two of them were currently at the Martial Arts Arena where the preliminary rounds of the Heavenly Dragon Battle were being held. There wasn't just one Martial Arts Arena. Because so many people were participating, and there was a concern that too many spectators would gather in one place and cause an accident, the Northern Sky Hegemon Clan had set up thirty-six Martial Arts Arenas in different locations. The preliminary rounds were being held in those thirty-six locations.

"By the way, when did you apply for the Heavenly Dragon Battle? The qualifications for entry are quite strict, I heard."

"Muyeong did it for me."

"Ah!"

Well, while we're on the subject, let me ask.

"What's your relationship with that Muyeong?"

"Umhahaha! He's my loyal subordinate."

Ah! Poor Muyeong!

"And he's also the most trustworthy person in the world."

Jeok Leegeon asked seriously.

"Who is it for you?"

"What?"

"The most trustworthy person."

"Well..."

Jeong Charyeon hesitated for a moment. In the past, the answer would have been her parents or family without hesitation. Of course, that hasn't changed now either.

"It's my family."

Since meeting Jeok Leegeon, the time she hesitates has been increasing.

She's afraid that the person she trusts most will become Jeok Leegeon. Does she really fear that? If she's afraid, being here with him is too contradictory.

Jeong Charyeon changed the subject.

"How is the tournament run?"

"It starts with the preliminaries. Let's go over there and check."

The two of them confirmed Jeok Leegeon's match schedule through a Martial Artist in charge of proceedings.

Jeok Leegeon's first opponent was Gale Wave Fist Lee Hyuk. The match time was late afternoon.

"There's still a lot of time left."

As he said that, Jeok Leegeon stroked his stomach.

He's really not nervous at all.

Gale Wave Fist Lee Hyuk was a master of fist techniques who was making a name for himself in Guangdong. He was called the Tiger of Guangdong and was a gambler who had led countless Martial Arts Contests with Martial Artists to victory, but even he was just another ordinary master in the Martial World in front of the Heavenly Dragon Battle, a grand tournament. The Heavenly Dragon Battle was exactly that kind of tournament.

Winning the Heavenly Dragon Battle, which was held once every four years, meant earning the honor of being called the Supreme Master of the Martial World for at least those four years. In addition, the prize money and rewards were considerable.

The winner's prize was five thousand nyang, and the reward was three roots of Thousand-Year He Shou Wu.

"If I win, I'll first boil one root each for my mother."

"Why don't you say that after you've played in the preliminary rounds or one match?"

"And feed Suryeon one root too."

It's admirable when he shows consideration that I never expected. Wait a minute?

"Then are you perhaps talking about our mother?"

"Of course."

"Why?"

"Why? Are you going to eat it then? You unfilial wretch!"

That's not what I meant!

"Okay, then what about the remaining root?"

At Jeong Charyeon's question, Jeok Leegeon pretended to think for a moment, then said,

"Let's boil one root for you to eat."

"Me?"

"It's good to eat one root at times like these."

"I'm fine. You eat it. No, you should give it to your parents. You're really mean. This is why there's no use in raising sons."

Jeong Charyeon was talking more than necessary.

It was out of guilt. Even if Jeok Leegeon was lucky enough to win, how could she only use the precious Thousand-Year He Shou Wu for her family? Jeong Charyeon wasn't shameless enough to do that.

"My parents don't need it. They have more than enough Inner Force."

"That's not for you to decide. You just give it to them first. How they use it is up to your parents. That's true filial piety. If the child's position is involved, it's no longer true filial piety."

Then Jeok Leegeon smiled brightly.

Don't look at me like that, as if I'm so cute!

Jeok Leegeon said slyly.

"Hehehe, if you really don't want to eat it... I'll sell it. I'll sell it and buy meat to eat to my heart's content."

There's another field where this guy will be number one. It's teasing people, after surprising them!

"By the way, will you be okay? Your first opponent is Gale Wave Fist."

Jeong Charyeon had definitely heard of the Gale Wave Fist's reputation.

She wasn't really asking because she was worried. Jeok Leegeon was unpredictable, but at least he wasn't the type to overdo things with bluff. He must have come to the Heavenly Dragon Battle because he thought he could do it.

In fact, she was looking forward to seeing what kind of performance he would show.

"Of course. There's still a lot of time before the match."

Please don't say you want to go eat meat!

"There's something we need to do before that. I have to go for an interview."

"Interview? What interview?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Jeok Leegeon led Jeong Charyeon by the hand.

Jeong Charyeon was dragged along as if she couldn't win. Suddenly, she remembered what Hyang Yi always said as a habit. Women need to be a little aloof to be attractive. She felt like she was being dragged around by Jeok Leegeon too much these days.

But what can I do? It's fun.
