The Handsomer You Are, the Stronger You Become

“Congratulations, Vice Guild Master!”

“We knew you’d make it!”

“Thanks to you, the prestige of the Muyoung Guild has reached new heights!”

In the grand ballroom of a luxury hotel, classical music filled the air as hunters in the signature uniforms of the Muyoung Guild clapped and cheered for Gwak Dowon as he entered.

The reason was clear from the large banner displayed on the wall:

<Congratulations! Muyoung Vice Guild Master Gwak Dowon Advances to the Semifinals of the Ultimate Swordsmanship Tournament!>

Gwak Dowon had achieved the unexpected.

When he first announced his participation in the tournament, no one believed he would make it to the semifinals.

Despite being labeled a master swordsman and a high-ranking hunter, with titles like The Blade Draw Master following his name, the competition was filled with too many formidable participants.

But Gwak Dowon defied expectations.

Through the preliminaries, the round of 16, and the quarterfinals, he steadily climbed the ranks.

Even without the audience's attention, he broke through his opponents’ shields and secured victories.

Finally, the matchups for the semifinals were announced:@@novelbin@@
