I have cultivated in this room for the past few hours and I finally reached a new realm, although I still haven't gotten an explanation on why I was transmigrated here, I don't even know what my name is in this world.
thud, thud
The door gently opens, "Young lord, It is time to attend the court"
Donghyun replies " Can I take the shower first?"
while in the shower
"This feels amazing!"
"If this is truly Murim then those [Factions] exist," he said seriously
He dressed himself and went outside
3 guards were waiting to escort him outside, "Follow us, young lord"
While we were walking, a beautiful woman was walking towards me.
"You ungrateful bastard! If you don't want the successor position then give it to me!"
She shouts angrily
"Young lady, the successor needs to attend the court immediately, the patriarch is waiting"
"I know! just you wait you bastard!"
"What the hell was that..! I don't even know her name"
"Hey, this may seem weird to ask but what's the name of the heirs?"
"Young lord, are you okay?"
"Just explain the details to me!"
"The 1st in line for the throne is you, young lord, well...you're name is Jeong Hyunwoo, if you didn't remember, the 2nd in line is young master Jeong Woobin, the 3rd in line is young lady Jeong Eunji."
"So my name is Jeong Hyunwoo.."
We arrived at the Clan court, I didn't expect the court to be so big and spacious.
"The successor of the Jeong Clan has arrived!"
All invited members of the clan stood up and bowed to me
"Greetings! Young lord!"
My seat was at the center and there was a huge throne in front of me.
"The patriarch has arrived!"
everyone stood up yet again
"All hail the patriarch!"
we bowed to the leader of the clan.
He sat on his throne and imprinted his qi to his words "Sit"
Although it was just one word, everyone felt the terrifying aura that man possessed.
"Young lord Jeong Hyunwoo has committed attempted suicide, according to the laws of the clan if the young lord attempts to partake in this action he must repent by joining the special division of the clan's sword brigade"
A man stood up, "Objection!, The young lord caused such a scene to our clan! He must partake in a special punishment!"
The Chief Judge asks the man, "Speak, what is that punishment you suggest?"
The man smirked, "I suggest that the Young lord must be removed from his position"
"What the fuck? That doesn't make sense!"
Hyunwoo was about to speak however the patriarch spoke himself.
"You dare question the laws of the clan"
The man quickly replied, "O-of course not patriarch!"
"I, Jeong Jo-Un, allow my son to join the Elite Jeong Brigade as per law, the case is dismissed."
"Yes patriarch!" everyone bowed and left the court.
The patriarch used his qi and sent a voice transmission, "Meet me in my room"
I went to his mansion and nervously knocked on the door
knock, knock
"Patriarch, It's me"
"Come"
I went inside and greeted him
"All hail the patriarch!"
"Sit down"
"Yes!"
"Are you aware of what you just did?"
"..." I didn't respond to the patriarch
"The elite brigade is one of the most elite forces amongst the 9 great families, you must improve your capabilities in that unit and increase your reputation, that is the only advice I can give you"
"I shall take your advice, patriarch!"
"I will leave now"
"Wait, before you leave take this"
"This is a ring?"
"This ring can increase your martial prowess, now wear it and leave"
"Yes!"
I wore the ring that the patriarch gave me and felt that my body was enhanced.
"This world seems too familiar...I wonder why"
A man was walking towards me, he was highly decorated with medals.
"Greetings! Young lord, I am Faln the Vice Commander of the Jeong elite brigade, I am here to escort you to our camp."
"Alright, lead me"
We walked down the road and the harsh roads of the entrance of the brigade.
"Welcome young lord, this is going to be your home for a year."
"Before everything else, we must evaluate your current realm"
The Vice Commander grabbed the magic ball
"Young lord, place your hands here"
I placed my hands and the magic ball started to glow.
[2nd rate]
"You are currently a second-rated warrior, young lord, within this camp, your realm will expand to a higher level."
"I have a feeling this realm is not okay at all.."
"Vice Commander Faln, can you please explain the realms of cultivation?"
"Oh! Young lord must've been disinterested in cultivation before, then let me explain, there are 7 levels of martial prowess, third-rated warrior, second-rated warrior, first-rated warrior, master, grandmaster, divine master, and Heavenly Master."
"So I'm still weak...I have to get stronger!"
"Don't worry young lord, although you may be a second-rated warrior, that is still strong in terms of the scaling system we currently use"
"Scaling system?"
"Yes! Experts discovered that the reason why normal civilians are not able to cultivate is particularly because of the body. If the body doesn't reach the amount of at least a 3:1 ratio then you will not be able to cultivate for the rest of your life."
"Then Faln do you know what your scaling is?" I asked curiously
"Well it's quite embarrassing but I only have a 5:3 ratio"
"So the higher the ratio the better the talent you have.."
"That's still amazing, I probably have a lesser ratio than you"
"I have explained quite enough young lord, It's time for you to join the training."
I changed my clothes and went to the training grounds
"Welcome cadets, I am Unit 2 Captain of the Elite Brigade Raon, I will be the Instructor of the 72nd training assessment of the brigade"
"Now, enough with the small talk, run the mountain 50 times." As he infused qi in his voice
"What the hell? 50 times?" Hyunwoo nervously said
He had no choice but to start running
An hour passed by
"F-fuck, this isn't a training camp, this is...hell!"
