The Sixteen-to-Eight round had ended, and before the Eight-to-Four round began, I quietly examined the wooden board among the now-dwindled participants.
Only eight of us remained.
The results so far hadn’t deviated much from my expectations.
The Blade King and Bi Seongdo advanced.
Tang So-yeol and I also made it through.
And with the rest being martial artists who had hidden their true skills—practitioners at the Hwagyeong level—the only ones left were the true powerhouses.
This also meant that the Martial Arts Tournament was nearing its end.
At most, seven days and nights remained.
Even if it dragged out, there …

How is fighting the blade King when they are in the quarterfinals?
Finals (final 2)

Quarter finals (final 8) ← they are here
I wonder what the plan is. He was expecting his dad to be there and he knows he is stronger than the 3 strongest guys, so how exactly would his plan succeed?
The trapped dragon? His dad one shot the white rank demon beast.
I do hope it is a proper plan that actually works even if the dad was there.
Whatever it is, it never seemed to be about fighting and/or killing. His stated purpose is to uproot the corruption of the martial alliance or cripple it's function as an institution. Not just because of his own vendetta against it, but also because it effectively functions as the Blood Demons force. It'll like be a public exposure of their misdeeds and any direct confrontation will be to stop the more corrupt parts of it.
Pretty sure he hasn't made the connection that the MA is the blood demon 's puppet. Just knows the blood demon is about and about but doesn't know that it's THAT bad.
Imo he has a clue about it, or the very least suspects that is the case. Because he mentioned he suspected the Divine Dragon to have received the Blood Demon power and when it was proven that he did not MC finaly started respecting him. Also with the Jang clan heir being constantly used by the Blood Demon in front of him and his dad being the previous head of the MA and all.
Back when the tournament started, i had the same idea.. no matter what, his father would stop everything.. (btw the dragon wasn't originally in the plan) but then i realized again that the author writes fully to his comfort. every event will turn out in his favor because of plot armor, it was never a realistic story to begin with, that contains huge unsolvable situations.. the author just blatantly helps the mc with some drama that gets resolved in the next chapter.. like the father who should ruin everything, suddenly had to go somewhere.. i say blatantly because yangcheon wasnt even worried that his father was coming
I don't think his plan involves fighting, and probably just aims to expose the alliances dirty secrets that ruins their reputation to the point where it can't be recovered. E.g. Proof of the the Orthodox alliance engaging in abhorrent activities (like torture) that they themselves denounce in a situation where they gag the witnesses and then bury it. This tournament have just about every eyeball and who's who attending people they can't easily silence or eliminate.
Like his dad
