The Seduction System

Baek Yisoo held his breath as he moved through the dark corridors of the warehouse. His feet were moving quickly, but his instincts were not guiding him in the right direction. The warehouse was too big and the windows were boarded up so there was no light.

He had never felt so nervous in his life.

Klang!

Following the sparks in the corridor to his left, Baek Yisoo heard a series of crashing sounds. Baek Yisoo made a sharp turn and dived into the hallway. There were four large windows in the hallway, but they were all boarded up. When Baek Yisoo smashed the boards with his spear, it suddenly lit up.

And the silhouettes of the combatants appeared.

"Shit!"

As soon as the room lit up, Baek Yisoo threw himself back and narrowly avoided a dagger attack aimed at his throat. He immediately put his foot down to regain his balance, but the kick sent him crashing to the ground.

"Is this what they worked so hard for?" said the assassin as he landed a second kick that sent the young man crashing to the ground. Without hesitation, the assassin swung his dagger at Baek Yisoo's leg, but Baek Yisoo managed to avoid it.

Klang!

When the assassin missed the attack, he pulled his head back, avoided Baek Yisoo's punch and launched a counterattack.

BANG!

There was a small cracking sound from the assassin's hand as the two punches met. Baek Yisoo took advantage of the assassin's reaction to the pain and kicked him in the chest, opening the distance.

The assassin's voice was full of anger and surprise.

"How can you be so strong? You counter Iron Claw with Long Fist Style?"

Baek Yisoo didn't say anything. His leg was swollen from the kick, and it hurt to take a step. He couldn't use Flow Like Water in this state. This meant that his attacks would no longer be as sharp as before.

The pain eased a little as the Spring Qi circulated through his body, but as soon as he stopped it, it increased exponentially.

Fortunately, he had a mask on his face so the assassin didn't notice that his leg was damaged.

Baek Yisoo twirled his spear in his hand once more and thrust hard. The assassin skillfully dodged the thrust and then attacked with his dagger. Baek Yisoo simply dodged the thrust by turning his body.

With his punches, kicks and quick maneuvers, the assassin was a nuisance. In terms of power, he was on the same level as Poison Shadow. And he fought much dirtier than him.

Klang, klang, klang!

Baek Yisoo managed to look behind the assassin when he had a chance to catch his breath. There he saw Angry Lightning and Lee Sang-hoon engaged in a fierce battle with Poison Wind. There were many bruises on their bodies. It was obvious that they had fallen on hard times.

Although they were second-rate martial artists and had fought many battles, everyone in Poison Shadow's team were professionals. And they weren't fighting fairly. Baek Yisoo would have turned Baek Yisoo into a sieve by now if there was someone else at the same level. But when he was fighting this man, he couldn't act the way he wanted to.

His opponent was throwing poison needles, darts or bottles of acid at every opportunity. When he focused on dodging them, he gave the upper hand to the other side.

BOOM!

Baek Yisoo used Stream to completely disperse the assassin's attack. He then counterattacked with Basic Punch.

TOK!

The assassin used his elbow to meet Baek Yisoo's punch at a perfect angle.

CRACK!

"AHH!"

Baek Yisoo pulled his hand back with a cry of pain.

His ring finger was broken!

Now!

The assassin took this opportunity to drive his dagger into Baek Yisoo's shoulder. Then he tripped and knocked the young man to the ground and climbed on top of him. Baek Yisoo's chest was completely exposed and he was pinned to the ground.

'I'm dead!'

As the man swung his dagger, Baek Yisoo met the first blow with his arm and the dagger made a deep cut on his arm. The cut was so deep that even his bones could be seen. Even if he had a very strong will, he could not resist such great pain.

Cut, cut, cut, cut!

'So, that's is...'

As Baek Yisoo's arms fell to his sides, the assassin raised his dagger for the final move.

'It's over.'

---

BOOM!

The assassin's head exploded and hot blood washed Baek Yisoo's face. A figure burst through the window of the warehouse, landing gently on the floor like a swallow bird. She twirled the whip she was holding around her body and swung it at Poison Wind, who was fighting two people at once.

SPLASH!

Poison Wind changed his expression when he saw this sudden visitor and tried to avoid the whip, but he couldn't because of Lee Sang-hoon. The whip hit his waist and sliced it completely. It was such a powerful attack that Poison Wind was pinned to the wall and collapsed.

The owner of the whip glanced at Lee Sang-hoon and Angry Lightning, then turned her head towards the window. On the other side of the window, she looked at Green Dragon, who was watching inside with cold eyes, and clicked her tongue.

"The dispute between the Hao Clan and the Green Valley has been resolved." 

 Green Dragon nodded coldly and jumped from the roof to the window. In one jump, he arrived at Baek Yisoo's side and threw a red pill into Baek Yisoo's mouth, who was about to faint from blood loss.

"Swallow this."

Baek Yisoo's head fell to the ground after swallowing the pill and his eyes closed. His arm and shoulder would not be usable for some time. Moreover, he had lost a large amount of blood. It was safe to say that he was about to die.

When the Green Dragon felt that Baek Yisoo's pulse had recovered a little, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the woman with the whip.

"The Hao Clan must be short on talented men to appoint you as branch manager," he said in a sarcastic tone.

"My clan has enough qualified people to appoint a Phoenix as branch manager. Look at your own broken-ass valley. They appointed a pig as branch manager. Although, out of all those animals, only someone like you could have come out." said the woman with the whip. Then she jumped to the window and disappeared.

Green Dragon turned his eyes to Angry Lightning and Lee Sang-hoon. "Kim Min-jun is meditating at the entrance. Clean up the place."

Lee Sang-hoon nodded and quickly made his way to the entrance. Angry Lightning stared at the Green Dragon with meaningless eyes.

"Is he worthy enough for you to take action yourself? And you also gave him the Blood Pill. You attended the Bandit Meeting to get that pill."

The Green Dragon took a deep breath, "The Blood Pill is nothing compared to what he has given us. The Hao Clan now owes us a favor. Besides, I will soon join the ranks of the Masters, so the Blood Pill is of no use to me."

Angry Lightning clenched his fists immediately after his surprise. "Congratulations on your progress, Branch Leader."

The Green Dragon smiled slightly.

"But there is one thing I don't understand. How is this kid so strong even though he's a third rate? I wonder how many years he has been at this rate..."

It was not unusual for martial artists to defeat those above their rate. The geniuses called Dragons and Phoenixes were able to do this very easily. They were able to do this because they had been carefully trained from a young age.

Otherwise, those who could do it were people with a lot of experience and battle intelligence. This was not a matter of genius. It was something that was completely acquired over time.

"This boy just entered the third-rate yesterday."

"What?!" Angry Lightning almost screamed in surprise. In just one day he had become an expert at his level and was fighting second-rate people? And he had beaten two of them perfectly.

"Do you understand now?" asked the Green Dragon as he bandaged Baek Yisoo's arm with an ointment and bandage.

"Yes," said Angry Lightning.

Now he understood.
