He encouraged rivalry among his students, declaring that he would pass on the position of sect leader of the Martial Sword Alliance to the winner.

His declaration threw the entire South Sea martial arts community into extreme turmoil.

The Martial Sword Alliance was a union of the South Sea martial arts community.

Each of his ten disciples came from an extraordinary background.

They had drawn their patrons, or at least the factions they came from, into the succession battle.

Thus, it turned into a civil war within the South Sea martial arts community, not just a simple succession battle.

The winner would become the sect leader of the Martial Sword Alliance and have everything.

The future of the Martial Sword Alliance and the control of the South Sea martial arts community would fall into their hands.

And, all that�s left for the loser is death.

There could be no exceptions.

Because Jeon Mu-ok, the sect leader of the Martial Sword Alliance, had stirred up the atmosphere in such a way.

Yu Suhwan was the only disciple who did not participate in the succession battle.

Even though he was the second disciple Jeon Mu-ok had taken, he had no interest in becoming the sect leader of the Martial Sword Alliance. But the others did not think so.

It was because of Yu Suhwan�s talent.

His talent in the sword was excellent, something no other disciple could keep up with.

So much so that even his master, Jeon Mu-ok, was envious of his swordsmanship talent.

�If Suhwan had the slightest bit of ambition, I would have handed over the Martial Sword Alliance to him without going through this cumbersome process. Based solely on swordsmanship talent, Suhwan is even better than me.�

People became shocked because these words were coming out of Jeon Mu-ok�s mouth himself, the strongest martial artist in the South Sea.

The reason Jeon Mu-ok did not give Yu Suhwan the position of sect leader was that he was generous and free-spirited.

He had no ambition to become the sect leader of the Martial Sword Alliance.

His nature was that of a man of pleasure who enjoyed mastering the sword, loved alcohol, and loved the vast sea.

The people gave him the title of Blue Sword Ascetic.2

He kept his distance when Jeon Mu-ok encouraged competition among his disciples resulting in numerous bloody struggles.�

Other disciples tried hard to attract Yu Suhwan to their side, but he remained neutral and did not take anyone�s side.

In the end, Dok Gohyang, the fifth disciple of Jeon Mu-ok, became the winner and rose to the position of sect leader.

Shortly thereafter, Yu Suhwan disappeared from the Martial Sword Alliance and the South Sea martial arts community.

Gossips said that Yu Suhwan left the South Sea martial arts community on his own so as not to burden Dok Gohyang.

Many people applauded, praising Yu Suhwan for making such a great decision.

Yu Suhwan never appeared in the South Sea again and was forgotten from people�s memories.

Yu Suhwan looked very thin, as if he hadn�t eaten properly for a long time, and his bones looked like they were merely covered in skin, but his eyes were surprisingly clear. JrNovels.com
