Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 133
After the luxurious meal was finished, it was time for everyone to gather and drink tea.
Everyone’s gaze was directed toward Jeok Wigang.
“Didn’t you say earlier that you had something to discuss after we ate?”
At Jeok Rihyeon’s question, Jeok Wigang, who had been drinking tea, set down his teacup and looked around.
“Father, Mother.”
“Yes, dear.”
“Would you like to take the Tranquil Heart Pills first?”
“This boy? Just how shocking is what you’re planning to say that you want us to take these? I’m scared.”
“Right. What are you trying to say that requires this?”
“It’s nothing bad. It’s just that I think you’ll be surprised, so I’m offering them.”
At that, Jeok Rihyeon looked at Jeok Mugun and said.
“Aren’t you giving any to Grandfather?”
At Jeok Rihyeon’s words, Jeok Mugun bristled.
“This boy? Do you think I’m as weak as you?”
“Father. I’m also a Transformation Realm Martial Artist.”
“Oh ho! Is that so? Then shall I see that Transformation Realm skill of yours? Want to go out?”
“No.”
Jeok Rihyeon hung his head low.
Sparring with Jeok Mugun was no different from a life-or-death battle.
Since he was definitely not the type to go easy, avoiding sparring as much as possible was beneficial for both mental and physical health.
“Tsk tsk. How did someone with such weak mental fortitude manage to reach the Transformation Realm?”
At the dissatisfied tone, Jeok Rihyeon’s head hung even lower.
That’s when Jeok Wigang stepped in.
“Grandfather. Please stop picking on Father.”
“Hmm. Alright.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Jeok Mugun immediately agreed, causing Jeok Rihyeon’s previously lowered head to snap up.
Jeok Rihyeon looked back and forth between Jeok Wigang and Jeok Mugun with a surprised expression.
“Why? What?”
When Jeok Mugun spoke with an indifferent expression, Jeok Rihyeon looked at Jeok Wigang and said.
“Wait, are you actually listening to what Wi Gang is saying right now?”
“Of course? I should listen.”
“Why?”
“First, listen carefully to what Wi Gang has to say. We’ll talk after that.”
“Yes.”
Jeok Rihyeon couldn’t get used to seeing Jeok Mugun like this.
“Continue with your story.”
At Jeok Mugun’s words, Jeok Wigang smiled broadly.
“First, let me tell you about the results of the civil service examination.”
“Yes. Go ahead and tell us.”
“I passed with the highest honors.”
“I already know that.”
“Mother and Younger Brother don’t know yet.”
“That’s right.”
Looking to the side, tears were welling up in Yu Hwayeon’s eyes.
“You worked so hard. My Son.”
Seeing Yu Hwayeon sobbing, Jeok Wigang stood up and patted her gently.
“Why are you crying?”
“I’m so happy… *sob*”
“If you’re this happy over just this much, how will I tell you the other news?”
“Is there something even bigger than this?”
“Yes. I received an official position.”
“I see. What kind of official position did you receive?”
“I received the position called Grand Tutor.”
“Grand Tutor?”
Everyone tilted their heads in confusion.
“Is there such an official position?”
“There wasn’t, but now there is.”
“There wasn’t, but now there is?”
“His Majesty created it specially for me.”
“Really? What’s the rank?”
“Rank? Well? If I had to say, First Rank?”
“First Rank? Th-that’s the highest rank, isn’t it?”
Ye Yahyeon added to the surprised Jeok Rihyeon.
“It’s an official position higher than First Rank. It’s the highest position after His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Hi-higher than the Emperor?”
“That’s right. The words of the Grand Tutor are no different from imperial commands, so it’s practically an official position equivalent to the Emperor.”
“Im-imperial commands? He gave you something like that? The Emperor?”
“Yes. I didn’t want to accept it, but he pleaded so earnestly…”
“The Emperor pleaded earnestly?”
Jeok Rihyeon and Yu Hwayeon’s eyes widened in shock.
Jeok Mugun was also looking at Jeok Wigang with a surprised expression.
On the other hand, Jeok Wiun had an expression as if he had roughly expected this.
Jeok Rihyeon asked him.
“Aren’t you surprised? Your older brother is now the second most powerful person after the Emperor?”
“I think it’s natural for Older Brother to be like that.”
“What?”
What kind of talk is this now.
He knew well that Jeok Wigang’s mind was outstanding.
Even so, isn’t this too excessive?
Grand Tutor to someone who just entered government service.
“Ah! And I also became sworn brothers with His Majesty.”
“What? You became what with whom?”
“Sworn brothers. Now he is my sworn older brother in private.”
Jeok Rihyeon and Yu Hwayeon couldn’t come to their senses about what they were hearing.
The shocked Yu Hwayeon fumbled for the Cheongshimhwan on the desk and put it in her mouth.
Next to her was Jeok Rihyeon, who had already put Cheongshimhwan in his mouth and was swallowing it.
“Is this all we have to be surprised about?”
“No.”
“There’s more surprising news than this?”
“Yes.”
There’s more surprising news to come.
It was good that I took the Cheongshimhwan even now.
Feeling the medicine’s effects circulating rapidly, Jeok Rihyeon swallowed and asked.
“I’m mentally prepared. Continue your story.”
Seeing his father’s resolute expression, he couldn’t help but smile.
“You brat. Don’t smile and speak quickly. What could be more surprising than becoming sworn brothers with the Emperor and becoming Grand Commandant?”
“Actually, I’m strong.”
“Huh? What do you mean? Strong out of nowhere?”
“Since I don’t have a dantian, Father and Mother thought I was weak and raised me with such care.”
“Th, that’s right.”
“But that’s not true. I’m strong. So from now on, you don’t need to worry about me.”
“So what do you mean by being strong? Of course, you’re sturdier than ordinary people, but martial artists who have learned martial arts are different.”
As Jeok Rihyeon tried to persuade Jeok Wigang, Jeok Wiun stepped forward.
“Older Brother is right. Older Brother is strong.”
“Huh?”
“Someone like me wouldn’t even last one punch against Older Brother.”
What is this about now?
Jeok Wiun’s realm was Super Peak Level.
It was a rare realm to see at his age.
But he wouldn’t even last one punch against Jeok Wigang who has no dantian?
Does this make sense?
Just as Jeok Rihyeon was about to speak at this nonsensical story.
“That kid’s right. He’s someone even I can’t beat, so he’s definitely strong. He’s probably the strongest in the Central Plains?”
“Cough!”
He was about to speak but was so shocked that he choked.
“Wh, what do you mean, Father?”
“This guy? Acting like you didn’t hear after hearing everything.”
“You can’t beat him either, Father?”
“Just as you heard. I was utterly defeated. That’s not human. He’s a monster.”
Jeok Wigang, who had been listening, chuckled and said.
“Calling your grandson a monster, Grandfather.”
“It’s not like I said anything wrong.”
Even if others might say such things, for Jeok Mugun to speak like that.
It was unbelievable.
To speak so confidently about the fact that he had been defeated.
“Father. Are you alright?”
“About what?”
“Didn’t you hate being defeated by someone more than death itself?”
“That’s only when the opponent is somewhat on my level that I refuse to acknowledge it. That guy is Beyond the Heavens. So I don’t feel wronged at all.”
Just how strong must he be for the Heavenly Martial Emperor, the greatest in the Central Plains, to say such words?
“So I’m telling you that you don’t need to worry about me anymore from now on. Ah! And I’m going to focus on making the Jin Mu Sect stronger from now on.”
“Huh? Our Jin Mu Sect is already strong though?”
“It’s weak. I won’t stop until it satisfies me.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Jeok Wiun stepped forward.
“Then older brother should be the deputy sect master.”
“You’re the deputy sect master, so why should I do that? Don’t try to pass it off. It won’t work. Have you been training hard all this time?”
“Yes! I’ve been completely diligent!”
“I’ll check later. You know what happens if I’m not satisfied, right?”
Gulp-.
Jeok Wiun swallowed and quietly stood up from his seat.
Jeok Rihyeon asked.
“Where are you going?”
“To train.”
With those words, he went outside.
Just how much had he disciplined the kid for him to show such behavior?
“Father is also lacking. I’ll make you much stronger than you are now.”
“Huh? Me?”
“Yes. You should at least be as strong as Grandfather, right?”
“Huh? Who? Me?”
“Yes.”
“Do you think that’s possible?”
“Yes. Human potential is infinite.”
Goosebumps rose on his skin.
“If I just train on my own…”
“That won’t do.”
“Then what about your mother? Will you make your mother train too?”
“No. How could I make such a delicate person train? I’ll protect Mother even if it costs me my life.”
“You brat? She’s my wife! If anyone’s protecting her, it’s me!”
“That’s why you need to become stronger.”
“Grr.”
He had nothing to say.
Jeok Mugun chuckled softly.
“For that boy to become as strong as me would be difficult even if it took a hundred years.”
“That would be true with ordinary training. But when a person crosses between life and death, they naturally become stronger.”
“W-wait! Cr-crossing between life and death? You’re going to drive your father into mortal danger?”
“Don’t worry. You won’t actually die.”
“The boy’s right. You won’t actually die. Though you will experience death.”
“Isn’t experiencing death the same as dying?”
“It’s different. You experience it and survive. But when you actually fight to that extent, your skills do improve dramatically.”
“How do you know that, Father? Have you experienced it yourself?”
“Yes. I nearly died several times because of that guy too.”
He was speechless.
If the Heavenly Martial Emperor nearly died several times, then what about himself?
He’d just die instantly.
Jeok Rihyeon looked at Jeok Wigang with a pitying expression.
“My body is weak, so wouldn’t that be bad for me?”
“Oh come on. Father, your body isn’t weak. Your physique is actually suitable for martial arts.”
“Me? That’s ridiculous.”
“With just a little work, you could become a perfect martial talent.”
“What do you mean work on what and how? At my age, the only way to work on my body would be Bone Transformation and Body Renewal.”
“Then we’ll do it.”
“What?”
“Bone Transformation and Body Renewal.”
“You talk about it like buying candy at the marketplace. Do you think that’s easy? You’re joking too much.”
“I’m not joking… I can do it for you. I’ve done it several times, so I know it well.”
“What did you do?”
“Bone Transformation and Body Renewal.”
“You performed Bone Transformation and Body Renewal on other people?”
“Yes.”
“You’re telling me to believe such nonsense…”
Before Jeok Rihyeon could finish his words, Jeok Mugun spoke.
“You brat! If you know how to do such things, you should have done it for this grandfather first.”
“But Grandfather, you’re already perfect.”
“Maybe it’s because I’m getting old these days, but I ache here and there. Do it for me too.”
Seeing him acting like a spoiled child, Jeok Wigang sighed and said.
“Alright. I understand, Grandfather.”
“Really? You have to do it for me when you do it for that guy.”
“I understand.”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Jeok Rihyeon squeezed between them, spread his hands, and shouted loudly.
“W-wait!”
Jeok Rihyeon asked Jeok Mugun with a serious expression.
“Father, do you believe what Wi Gang is saying? Or are you deliberately doing this to tease me?”
“Didn’t I tell you? That boy is strong.”
“Being strong and this are separate matters. Just because someone is strong, can they perform Bone Transformation and Body Renewal at will? Would you believe it if you were me, Father?”
“Ah, there’s something I didn’t explain in detail. Wi Gang isn’t just strong in power, he’s also skilled in Magic Arts.”
“Magic Arts?”
“Yes. Those Magic Arts are so miraculous that there’s nothing he can’t do with them.”
Jeok Rihyeon looked at Jeok Wigang and asked.
“By any chance, is the Bone Transformation and Body Renewal you mentioned done with those Magic Arts?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Is that possible?”
“Yes. It doesn’t take much time either. I’ll do it for Grandfather and Father, and I should do it for Younger Brother too. And I’m planning to do it for all the Warriors of Jin Mu Sect as well. Of course, for the Warriors of Jin Mu Sect, I’ll do a grade lower Bone Transformation and Body Renewal to differentiate them from Father and Younger Brother.”
He was talking about giving Bone Transformation and Body Renewal like handing out gifts as favors.
And even dividing them into grades at that.
At this point, he became genuinely curious.
About Jeok Wigang’s true nature.
“Show me. Your true self.”
At Jeok Rihyeon’s words, Jeok Wigang nodded his head.
“Then let’s go to a deserted place. Since we have other business as well, somewhere spacious enough for a life-and-death duel.”
