"THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY." GET INSIDE. YOU'LL BE SPARRING WITH THE YOUNG MASTER, SO MAKE SURE YOUR CONDITION STAYS AT THE TOP. AS LONG AS YOU DO YOUR PART WELL, THE FAMILY HEAD WILL REWARD YOU GENEROUSLY. THOSE ARE LIES. THERE'S NO CHANCE THEY'LL LET ME LIVE. IF THEY DID, THEIR DIRTY SECRETS WOULD COME TO LIGHT. THEY TAKE IN CHILDREN WITH NO FAMILY TIES, TEACH THEM MARTIAL ARTS, THEN SELL THEM OFF AS SPARRING PARTNERS. WE HONE THE MARTIAL SKILLS OF DISCIPLES FROM THE GREAT SECTS, THEN FULFILL OUR PURPOSE AS 'WHETSTONES' BY DYING. THAT'S WHAT WE, "SHADOW FIGHTERS," ARE. NO MATTER WHAT I DO HERE, I'M DESTINED TO DIE ONCE I'VE OUTLIVED MY USEFULNESS. I PROBABLY DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT. I'LL FIND A WAY TO ESCAPE BEFORE THEN. IS THAT HIM? HE LOOKS PRETTY ORDINARY FOR A SHADOW FIGHTER WHO'S LEARNED THE IMPERIAL SWORD FORM. ANYWAY, HAVE THEY DECIDED WHERE THE DUEL WILL BE HELD AT? YUEYANG, I HEAR. HUH... SAME HERE... "YOUNG MASTER"... A DUEL WITH THE "NAMGUNG FAMILY." "YUEYANG"? BUT CAN THE YOUNG MASTER WIN? THAT'S WHAT I'M WONDERING. I HEAR THE NAMGUNG FAMILY'S YOUNG MASTER IS A GENIUS... Y-YOUNG MASTER?! AK WIGUN YOUNG MASTER OF THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY FAMILY HEAD AK TAESANG'S SON I HEAR THE IMPERIAL SWORD FORM IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE. LET'S SEE WHETHER THE IMPERIAL SWORD FORM REALLY SURPASSES THE AK FAMILY'S SPEAR ARTS. SHOW ME WHAT YOU CAN DO. SO HE'S THE REASON... THAT I WAS SOLD TO THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY. THE IMPERIAL SWORD FORM!! FAST AND POWERFUL. AT THIS RATE, I'LL LOSE! HAAH! HAAH! HAAH! SO THIS IS IT... BE READY FOR OUR NEXT BOUT. NOW, GET SOME REST. MY RESPECTS TO THE FAMILY HEAD AND MY UNCLES! WELL, HOW DID YOUR SPARRING WITH THE SHADOW FIGHTER GO? AK TAESANG FAMILY HEAD OF THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY. I LEARNED THAT THE IMPERIAL SWORD FORM LIVES UP TO ITS FEARSOME REPUTATION. THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M ASKING. I'M ASKING WHETHER YOU CAN WIN. I WILL REDOUBLE MY EFFORTS, AND DEFEAT THE NAMGUNG FAMILY WITHOUT FAIL! AS YOU SHOULD. THAT IS THE ONLY THING EXPECTED OF THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY'S HEIR. IF YOU TRULY WISH TO BECOME THE FAMILY HEAD OF THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY, YOU MUST WIN BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY. ONLY THEN WILL YOU BE A WORTHY HEIR TO THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY. YES, MY LORD. SENIOR BROTHER, HAVE YOU HEARD... ABOUT THAT SHADOW FIGHTER THEY BROUGHT IN RECENTLY? I HAVE. THEY SAY HE'S PRETTY STRONG. NOT ONLY DID HE FEND OFF EACH OF THE YOUNG MASTER'S SPEAR STRIKES... BUT HE WAS ALSO APPARENTLY ON A SIMILAR LEVEL AS THE YOUNG MASTER. OH, COME ON. YOU KNOW HOW STRONG THE YOUNG MASTER IS. SOUNDS LIKE THEY'VE BROUGHT IN SOMETHING INTERESTING. HELLO. SO YOU'RE THAT TOY THEY CALL A SHADOW FIGHTER? AK SOMI YOUNG LADY OF THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY FAMILY HEAD AK TAESGAN'S DAUGHER WHO THE HELL IS THIS GIRL? YOU'RE BOTHERING ME. GET LOST. HEHE... ARE YOU SPEAKING LIKE THAT BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU'RE A TOY THAT IS SOON TO DIE? YOU POOR THING... YOU MUST HAVE STRUGGLED SO HARD TO SURVIVE, ONLY TO END UP A SACRIFICE SO MY BROTHER CAN WIN HIS DUEL. I WONDERED WHAT THE FAMILY HEAD AND MY BROTHER WERE UP TO THIS TIME. SURE ENOUGH, THEY'D BROUGHT IN SOME POOR WRETCH TO TORMENT. Poor thing~ IF I WERE IN MY BROTHER'S PLACE, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU A CHANCE TO LIVE. THAT LOOK IN HER EYES. THAT EXPRESSION. SHE'S JUST LIKE THOSE GREED-RIDDEN BASTARDS. THE LOOK OF SOMEONE WHO WOULD DO ANYTHING... TO GET WHAT THEY WANT. ...YOU TALK TOO MUCH. DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME EARLIER? IF YOU'VE GOT NO BUSINESS WITH ME, GET LOST. HAHA...!! OH, I DO HAVE BUSINESS WITH YOU. WHAT I WANT ISβ€” TO TRAMPLE MY BROTHER UNDERFOOT BY USING YOU... AND BECOME THE FAMILY HEAD. I'M MORE TALENTED THAN MY BROTHER. I'M THE ONE WHO CAN MAKE THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY THE STRONGEST OF ALL. IF I JUST SIT BACK AND DO NOTHING... I'LL END UP WASTING MY LIFE ON SOME POLITICAL MARRIAGE. AND I DON'T WANT THAT. YOU DREAM BIG. AS LONG AS YOUR BROTHER IS AROUND, NOTHING YOU DO WILL CHANGE THE FATE YOU WERE BORN TO. AND THAT'S WHY I AM HERE. I'M ASKING YOU TO HELP ME WITH IT. IF THINGS WORK OUT, I'LL SAVE YOUR LIFE. HAH! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH. WHAT COULD A PAMPERED YOUNG LADY OF THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY POSSIBLY DO FOR ME? AT BEST, YOU COULD TOSS ME AN ELIXIR PILL OR TWO. WHAT ELSE? I-IF YOU TAKE THE ELIXIRS AND HIDE YOUR STRENGTH, WOULDN'T YOU BE ABLE TO ESCAPE AT THE LAST MOMENT? SHE REALLY IS A CLUELESS BRAT. HOWEVER... "THE YOUNG MASTER"... A DUEL WITH THE "NAMGUNG FAMILY." "YUEYANG." THE ELIXIR PILLS, AND ONE MORE THING. GIVE ME THOSE, AND I'LL MAKE YOUR DREAM COME TRUE. I CAN SEE IT FINALLY... BRING ME THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY'S MARTIAL ARTS. ...A WAY OUT OF HERE. ## See also - [WebtoonLib β€” Blade of the Discarded #3](/series/blade-of-the-discarded-8oudcglv/chapter-3-z9tcei) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/blade-of-the-discarded-8oudcglv ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
