Contents

The highly-anticipated moment has arrived: Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound Chapter 132 marks a pivotal shift in the narrative, plunging Vikir Van Baskerville deeper into the political and martial machinations of the world he was betrayed by. As of today, December 10, 2025, this chapter is no longer just speculation, but a concrete turning point, officially kicking off the intense 'Test Your Skills' arc, where raw power and strategic genius are put to the ultimate challenge.

The core of this manhwa, the story of Vikir, a loyal 'hound' of the Baskerville family who was executed only to regress 40 years into the past, is fundamentally about meticulously planned vengeance. Chapter 132 serves as the strategic opening move in a new, high-stakes game, forcing the protagonist to balance his desire for revenge with the necessity of publicly proving his overwhelming, yet concealed, strength.

Vikir Van Baskerville and Key Character Dossier

To fully appreciate the gravity of the events in Chapter 132, one must understand the main players whose destinies are rapidly converging. This chapter heavily features the dynamics between the protagonist and his closest allies/rivals.

  • Vikir Van Baskerville: The protagonist. Formerly the 'Iron-Blooded Sword Hound' of the Baskerville family. Betrayed and executed, he regressed 40 years. His goal is to dismantle the Baskerville family from within and prevent the apocalypse. He possesses immense skill and future knowledge, which he must now showcase without revealing his 'regression' secret.
  • Dolores L. Quovadis: A powerful heroine from the rival Quovadis family. She often crosses paths with Vikir, and their relationship is a complex mix of rivalry, suspicion, and potential alliance. Her presence in this arc is crucial, often serving as a catalyst for Vikir's actions or a measure of his strength.
  • Piggy (Tudor): Vikir's close friend and companion. A seemingly weak character who is secretly a powerhouse, often working alongside Vikir in his schemes. His actions in this chapter, particularly around the 'Test Your Skills' preparation, are essential for Vikir's cover.
  • Cindywendy: A key figure, often referred to as a 'stepsister' or a powerful sponsor (later confirmed as a sponsor of the Night Walkers). Her movements and involvement in the background of the 'Test Your Skills' event hint at larger, unseen forces at play, potentially linked to the Baskerville's internal politics.
  • The Baskerville Family: The primary antagonistic force. Led by the Head of Family, the clan is known for its 'Iron-Blooded' nature and its ruthless internal hierarchy, featuring figures like Lowbro Le Baskerville, Boston Terrier Le Baskerville, Great Dane Le Baskerville, and Isabella La Baskerville.

The 'Test Your Skills' Arc Begins: Chapter 132’s Core Conflict

Chapter 132, titled 'Test Your Skills (1)' in the novel's original structure, is not a battle chapter but a foundational one, setting the stage for a massive, multi-part evaluation that will determine the hierarchy and future assignments of the students—including Vikir. This is where Vikir must transition from a powerful, yet low-profile, student to a recognized force, a necessary step for his revenge plot.

The Morning Routine and Strategic Planning: The chapter opens with a deceptively normal scene: Vikir and Piggy completing their morning routine, which includes the 'gymnastics' mentioned in fan discussions—a likely euphemism for their rigorous, self-imposed training regimen. This mundane setting immediately contrasts with the high-stakes political maneuvering that follows. Vikir's training is always a strategic move, not just physical exercise, ensuring he is prepared for the upcoming assessment.

The Announcement of the Test: The central event is the official announcement of the 'Test Your Skills' evaluation at the academy's lecture hall. This is no ordinary academic test; it is a brutal, meritocratic assessment designed to identify and rank the strongest students, often involving dangerous dungeon exploration or combat simulations. For Vikir, this is an opportunity to publicly display an 'acceptable' level of growth—enough to gain influence and respect, but not so much as to raise suspicion about his 'regression' and future knowledge.

The test is a crucial mechanism for the major families—Baskerville, Quovadis, and others—to gauge the next generation's talent. Success here means better assignments, more political capital, and access to the resources Vikir needs for his ultimate goal.

A Convergence of Fates: Dolores, Cindywendy, and the Bait Ending

The true intrigue of Chapter 132 lies in the subtle but explosive character interactions that frame the new arc. These moments are what create the 'shocking revelations' and the intense anticipation for the next chapter.

1. The Dolores L. Quovadis Encounter

As the chapter concludes, or as a major event within the 'Test Your Skills' planning, Vikir has a significant, tense encounter with Dolores L. Quovadis. Fan discussions hinted at a "total bait" ending, suggesting a moment of extreme tension or misdirection regarding their relationship. Dolores, a powerful and righteous figure, is a natural rival to the Baskerville name. This interaction is not just a casual meeting; it's a clash of ideologies and a test of Vikir's ability to maintain his facade while subtly guiding events.

  • The Implication: Dolores likely challenges Vikir's motivations or his methods concerning the upcoming test. Her keen insight often forces Vikir to adapt his plans. The 'bait' ending suggests that what seems like a romantic or friendly development is actually a political or strategic move on Vikir's part, keeping his true intentions hidden even from her.

2. The Shadow of Cindywendy and the Night Walkers

The mention of 'Stepsister Cindywendy' is a crucial entity drop. While she may not be the focus of the chapter's main action, her presence in the peripheral discussions—especially her later role as a sponsor of the shadowy Night Walkers organization—underscores the deep, corrupting influence of the Baskerville's internal politics. Her character represents the insidious, non-martial threats that Vikir must navigate. Her involvement in the 'Test Your Skills' arc suggests the test is likely rigged or influenced by outside forces, turning a simple evaluation into a deadly political minefield.

  • LSI Keyword Focus: This thread reinforces the key theme of 'Betrayal,' a core LSI keyword. The Baskerville family's internal strife and the actions of characters like Cindywendy are the very reasons for Vikir's 'Regression' and 'Revenge' mission.

Topical Authority: The Significance of the 'Test Your Skills' Arc

The 'Test Your Skills' arc is vital for the overarching narrative of Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound. It serves several critical functions for Vikir and the world-building:

1. Public Validation of Power (The Veil of Growth): Vikir needs to be seen as a rising star, not a sudden anomaly. The test allows him to use his knowledge of future events (dungeon layouts, monster weaknesses, rival strategies) to achieve overwhelming success, which can be publicly attributed to his recent, intense training and 'natural talent.' This is his method of gaining influence and resources without revealing the secret of his time 'Regression'.

2. Political Capital Acquisition: High marks in the 'Test Your Skills' grant the winner substantial political leverage within their respective families and the larger empire. For Vikir, this capital is the currency needed to challenge the Baskerville family's leadership and expose the true traitor who orchestrated his execution in his past life.

3. Deepening Character Dynamics: The competitive nature of the test forces direct, high-pressure interactions between Vikir, Dolores, Piggy, and the various Baskerville siblings (Lowbro, Boston Terrier, Great Dane). These interactions are essential for developing the complex web of alliances and rivalries that will define the rest of the story.

4. Setting the Stage for the Apocalypse: Every action Vikir takes is a step toward preventing the looming catastrophe he witnessed in his past life. The 'Test Your Skills' arc is likely to reveal or grant access to a critical piece of information or an item necessary for his larger campaign against the forces of darkness, thus connecting the personal 'Revenge' plot to the grand 'World-Saving' narrative.

What Lies Ahead After Chapter 132?

Chapter 132 is the calm before the storm. It is the moment the starting pistol fires for the 'Test Your Skills' marathon. Readers can expect the following in the immediate future of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound manhwa:

  1. Intense Combat Sequences: The test itself will undoubtedly feature Vikir demonstrating his mastery of the sword and his future knowledge, leading to spectacular, one-sided victories against both monsters and unsuspecting rivals.
  2. Political Chess Moves: Expect Vikir to use his performance to manipulate his Baskerville siblings and the Quovadis family, furthering his ultimate goal.
  3. The Unveiling of Hidden Talent: This arc is the perfect opportunity for Piggy (Tudor) to reveal more of his suppressed strength, shocking those who have underestimated him.
  4. A Major Cliffhanger: True to the nature of this manhwa, the 'Test Your Skills' arc will likely conclude with a shocking revelation or a deadly consequence that raises the stakes for Vikir's journey of 'Revenge' and 'Regression.'

Chapter 132 successfully transitions the narrative from preparation to execution. The 'Test Your Skills' arc is the proving ground where the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound must forge his new destiny, one calculated move at a time.
