Chapter 35
“A shining talent.”
Elder Eight looked at the Grand Duke who had won the sword competition. He had been labeled as a wretch by everyone, and now he was able to shake off his bitterness by demonstrating his overwhelming prowess and superior abilities.
I thought it was pebbles on the road, but it was diamonds.
Nam Gung-Soon was the one who noticed the most.
“……How long have you been holding a sword?”
“Half a year.”
“……In half a year, you became a sword master. What an unbelievable achievement.”
Listening to the Iron Blood Sword Lord’s conversation with my servant, I realized that the Grand Duke’s talent was special.
Nangong Shun liked talented people.
Martial arts is only for the talented.
Even if you spend the same amount of time learning.
Even if you spend the same amount of time trying.
The difference in talent divided the ranks.
Nam Gung Soon’s path, which he hadn’t thought much about until the sword meeting, was clear.
The first Confucius.
Confucius 2 with the Sichuan Tang family in the background.
And the Third Gongfu with another Sixth Gongfu in the background.
I didn’t want to entrust myself to the poor future of the first duke.
But I couldn’t just join the second and third dukes’ supportive factions later, knowing that I wouldn’t have a guaranteed position.
Therefore, I supported the fourth duke, Namgunggae, but even that was not enough.
The fourth duke’s dog, who was neither him nor me, was literally just a child, and I could see that even without seeing the end of it.
