Solo Leveling: The Shadow Monarch

Sparring Match & True Power

After Sung Jin-woo pinned down one of the Japanes team's member who was trying to harm Cha Haein, Goto Ryuji saw Sung Jin-woo's combat prowess and decided to challenge him.

Goto: You said your name was Sung Jin-woo, correct? Would it be alright for you if we have a one-on-one fight?

The translator immediately relayed his words to Sung Jin-woo.

Jin-woo: No.

He said plainly.

The translator relayed Jin-woo's answer.

Goto: May I ask why?

Jin-woo: You are not worth my time.

The translator was shocked by Jin-woo's choice of words and relunctuntly translated it to Goto Ryuji.

Once Goto heard those words, he was angered and so did the rest of the Japanese team members who heard. The Korean team on the other hand was shocked by Jin-woo's words especially the Association President.
They thought that he was crazy for telling Goto Ryuji that he was not worth his time.

Tanaka: What did you just say, you punk?!

Sung Jin-woo ignored him and began to walk away with his hands in his pockets. Tanaka gritted his teeth and charged at Jin-woo in breakneck speed. Jin-woo immediately reacted and caught his fist. The rest was surprised because Tanaka was known for his overpowering strength and his attack was easily blocked by Sung Jin-woo. Sung Jin-woo coldy starred into his eyes and it sent a chill to Tanaka's spine. Jin-woo let go of his fist and sighed in annoyance.

Jin-woo: Since you guys are so persistent, then I have no choice but to accept. But.... under two conditions: First, I want to fight the whole team instead of all by yourself, Goto Ryuji. And I want all of you to fight without holding back.

The fact that he said that Goto Ryuji was not worth his time was shocking by itself but challenging the entire Japanese team was outrageous.

Hunter Ma: Hunter Sung, I think it's best that you will fight only one of them instead of all of them. Please do not underestimate them.

One of the members of the Korean team said.

Tanaka: Are you looking down on us?!

Majority of the Japanese team was staring daggers at him.

Hunter Baek: Hunter Sung, are you sure you want to go through with this?

Hunter Baek was fully aware of Jin-woo's ability to get stronger but even he was not sure if he could defeat the entire Japanese team.

Jin-woo: Positive.

Goto: Very well, we accept.

Jin-woo lightly smiled and walked towards the bench to take his jacket off. The Japanese team were already in their positions and were waiting for Sung Jin-woo.

Tak...

Tak...

Tak...

Tak...

Tak...

After taking jacket off, he slowly walked towards them with a light smile. The air around them suddebly became cold. Their heartbeats accelerated and they and they were breathing rapidly for some reason.

Tanaka: AAAHHHH!!!

Tanaka was the first one to charge at his with breakneck speed. Jin-woo saw his attack coming and simply ducked to avoid it. He simply raised his hand and flicked his opponent's forehead using his finger and sent him flying towards the wall like a cannon ball and his attack made a strong gust of wind in the ring. Tanaka immediately passed out and it left the rest of the Japanese team shocked by Jin-woo's display of strenght and speed. The turned their attention back to Sung Jin-woo who was smiling lightly.
