What Happened in Return of the Mount Hua Sect Chapter 173? (Recap)
In the last part, Chung Myung trained the Mount Hua students really hard, pushing them beyond their limits because of his memories of a past battle. He didn’t want anyone in their group to be average. The students got very tired during training, which was funny compared to how seriously Chung Myung took everything, knowing they needed to be strong to face future challenges.
As the story went on, trouble started when other groups noticed Mount Hua was getting better and wanted to attack them. The chapter ended with a rival group coming to confront Mount Hua, not realizing the strength of the students there.
What Are the Spoilers for Return of the Mount Hua Sect Chapter 174?
The Return of the Mount Hua Sect Chapter 174 will probably show Mount Hua’s strength when they face these rivals. Chung Myung might let his senior students, like Baek Cheon and Yoo Iseol, take charge in the fight, allowing them to show off their skills that they practiced hard.
The upcoming fight will likely embarrass the rivals and surprise everyone watching, who thought Mount Hua was weak. But it won’t just be action; Chung Myung will also think about how to get resources from the losing side. The chapter may end with hints about a big upcoming event, where Mount Hua will show they are strong again.
