Chapter 1346: Invitation (2)
‘There are rumors that the single-sword style is lacking notable swordsmen and that they inflated the reputation with hype, but seeing that they were invited to the Martial Arts Gathering proves their skills are real.’
By today’s standards, excellent swordsmen have been continuously born in the twin-sword style.
The Iron-Blood Twin Swords, Joo Su-gyeom, Gwak Kyung-gu, and Joo Su-hyuk.
Among them, Joo Su-gyeom chose a managerial path and became a heavy smoker, sacrificing his health and stamina, but when naming the greatest geniuses in the twin-sword school, he still never gets left out.
When Oh Hye-jeong stormed in threatening to kill Joo Su-gyeom—who had made Oh Hye-ji cry—wielding a brutal cleaver, she failed not only to harm him but even to force him to draw his swords.
Even Gwak Kyung-gu, who is considered inferior to his father, the Iron-Blood Twin Swords, and junior Joo Su-hyuk, is regarded as being a step above Oh Hye-ji.
The gap between the twin-sword style and the single-sword style was that wide.
Many thought this was simply due to differences in heir qualities, but my view was different.
‘Oh Hye-jeong and Oh Hye-ji’s potential isn’t bad. It’s partly because they don’t have strong ambitions for the sword, but mostly it’s the fault of the Oh family.’
Though the contract with the Four Seas Dragon King has been resolved and there’s no problem now, the Oh family had forced sacrifices on the younger generation trying to break their curse of short lifespans.
Because of that, Oh Hye-jeong destroyed her engagement ceremony and ran away, while Oh Hye-ji deviated under pressure.
Oh Hye-ji’s family once confined her, saying she should learn to be a bride instead of going to university, preventing her from taking the college entrance exam.
