Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 135
As Son Gang’s body transformed into the shape of a dragon, he began radiating tremendous energy in all directions.
Rather than being surprised, Jeok Mugun was genuinely impressed and delighted.
“Hahaha! There really are all sorts of things in this world! What a sight to see in my lifetime!”
Seeing Jeok Mugun treat his transformed appearance as nothing special and even enjoy it, Son Gang also smiled.
“Let’s see if you can still laugh like that after experiencing my true power.”
Paang-.
He moved so fast that the air exploded with sound, and in an instant he was throwing a fist toward Jeok Mugun’s face.
Kuaaaa-.
With a sound like tearing air, just as Jeok Mugun’s face was about to be crushed.
Tuhwak-!
Kwakwakwaang-!
The fist wind from the fist cutting through the void split the ground.
In that moment, Son Gang quickly pulled his face back with an ominous feeling.
Huwung-.
With an ominous sound, Jeok Mugun’s fist passed by at an invisible speed.
He thought he had barely avoided it, but that wasn’t the case.
Jjeoreok-.
“Kheuk!”
Even though the fist had passed by, he felt the impact.
The shockwave created as the fist passed had struck his face.
To think the shockwave alone could cause such pain.
He truly was the strongest among humans.
Jureureuk-.
Blood flowed down from Son Gang’s nose.
Without even thinking to wipe it away, he looked at Jeok Mugun and grinned wickedly.
Interesting.
This was different from fighting Jeok Wigang.
Fighting Jeok Wigang felt like facing a massive wall, bringing only despair, but Jeok Mugun was different.
He was letting him feel the joy of battle.
Jeok Mugun was also smiling.
Jeok Mugun was only now realizing.
Why he had been so obsessed with the Four Heavenly Demon Gods.
He had missed it.
That thrilling feeling when fighting the Four Heavenly Demon Gods.
The loneliness of an absolute being.
He had longed for the Four Heavenly Demon Gods, who were the only ones who could offset that loneliness.
“Shall we continue?”
“Good!”
They clashed while smiling at each other.
***
“Cough!”
Son Gang was laughing while coughing up blood.
He looked at Jeok Mugun with weary eyes and spoke.
“I… lost.”
Thud-.
With those words, he collapsed.
Jeok Mugun had no serious injuries, but he looked slightly tired.
“He’s truly strong. If it were the old me, it might have been difficult.”
“Grandfather, you need to get stronger. You struggled too much.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Jeok Rihyeon looked at him with an incredulous expression.
In what way did he struggle?
He had won almost one-sidedly.
“Is that so?”
“Yes. You can’t drag it out like this. You should win overwhelmingly against opponents of that level.”
“You brat. Try living to my age. It’s not as easy as it sounds.”
“Why don’t you undergo Bone Transformation and Body Renewal?”
“It would be nice if you did it for me, but it sounds strange to hear you talk about Bone Transformation and Body Renewal like you’re offering candy.”
“What’s strange about it? I’m saying it because it’s possible.”
Jeok Mugun shook his head at Jeok Wigang’s grinning appearance as he spoke.
“I don’t know what kind of guys will become your enemies, but they’re truly pitiful. So pitiful.”
“Since we’re talking about it, let’s go for the Bone Transformation and Body Renewal later.”
“You’re not joking, are you really serious?”
“Yes.”
Jeok Wigang looked at Jeok Rihyeon.
“While we’re at it, Father should join us too.”
“Me, me too?”
“Yes.”
He was talking about giving away Bone Transformation and Body Renewal, the greatest fortune among all fortunes, as if he were doing a favor.
When he said those words at the house, it was so absurd that they didn’t believe him, but after confirming Jeok Wigang’s true nature, they felt it might actually be true.
Is this right?
Somehow, all the martial arts training he had done so far felt meaningless.
Wasn’t this becoming strong too easily?
While he was having such thoughts, Jeok Wigang spoke.
“Bone Transformation and Body Renewal doesn’t just make you strong randomly. It creates a body suitable for martial arts.”
That’s just your standard.
In reality, undergoing Bone Transformation and Body Renewal makes you tremendously strong.
There’s a reason why anyone who learns martial arts desperately desires it.
“Anyway, once the procedure is finished, you’ll have to train with me in earnest, so prepare yourselves mentally.”
It’s already frightening.
Wait.
“Could the reason Wi Gang became strong be…?”
Jeok Wigang grinned.
That’s right.
No wonder his speed of becoming stronger was extraordinary.
It was certainly Wi Gang who had instilled the obsession that he must become stronger.
Jeok Wiun, who even talked in his sleep about needing to become stronger.
He had thought it was admirable, but now he realized it was for survival.
“Come to think of it, I should go check on Wiun’s skills too. I’ll go ahead first, so take your time coming.”
Behind Jeok Wigang who went ahead first, Ye Yahyeon hurriedly followed, carrying the unconscious Son Gang on his back.
While standing there in a daze, Jeok Mugun approached and spoke to him.
“Steel your heart. Training with that guy requires risking your life.”
“What?”
At Jeok Mugun’s threat, Jeok Rihyeon’s face turned tearful.
“I have to risk my life?”
“That’s just how we say it, he won’t actually kill you. You know how dearly that guy cherishes his family.”
“If he cherishes us so dearly, why does he make us train risking life and death?”
“Because that’s how you become strong. The effect is certain. Thanks to it, I became strong quickly too.”
Since it was Jeok Mugun saying this, it must be true.
Become stronger?
He recalled what Jeok Wigang had said.
‘You should become as strong as Grandfather.’
Me?
As strong as Father?
Jeok Rihyeon looked intently at Jeok Mugun.
“This kid? Not a chance.”
“What? What do you mean?”
“You just thought about surpassing me, didn’t you?”
“What? No, I didn’t.”
“Don’t lie. You brat. You’re a hundred years too early.”
Jeok Rihyeon bristled at Jeok Mugun’s words.
“Wi Gang said so! That I could become as strong as Father. I’ll definitely show you!”
“Fine! Let’s see you try.”
They glared at each other face to face, then soon began to laugh.
“You rascal. You should have shown that kind of spirit from the start.”
“I think I understand a little why Father tried so hard to become strong. When hope arises that you can become stronger, a person becomes like this.”
“Work hard at it.”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go too. If Wi Gang trained Wiun, he must have become stronger, so shall we go see how much he’s grown?”
“Good! Let’s go.”
***
Gulp-.
Jeok Wiun swallowed dry saliva while constantly watching for signs.
“You’ve been training hard all this time, right?”
“Of, of course.”
“The elixir I gave you?”
“I took it all.”
“Really? Then let me see… By now you should be at least at the Super Peak Level eighth star realm, right?”
He’s a ghost.
I just reached the Super Peak Level eighth star realm recently.
Super Peak Level eighth star at this age.
The more I think about it, the more absurd this achievement is.
But the very person who made this absurd thing possible was his older brother, Jeok Wigang.
“That’s right. I reached the realm Older Brother mentioned recently.”
Jeok Wigang grinned at Jeok Wiun’s answer.
“Well done. If you weren’t at that realm, I wasn’t going to let it slide.”
Shiver-.
He thought it was good that he worked hard without slacking off.
“Good. Shall we check it out? Come at me with full power.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Jeok Wiun sighed and then began glaring with fierce eyes.
Right.
Let me show you.
How hard I’ve worked.
Whoosh-.
A tremendous aura surged from Jeok Wiun’s body.
“Ho! Now you’re properly emanating an aura.”
His older brother’s admiration somehow made him feel good.
He felt the reward of his hard work.
Now let me show you.
How strong I’ve become.
Jeok Wiun relieved himself of the burden and charged toward Jeok Wigang with his much lighter body.
***
“Huff huff huff! Urgh!”
Jeok Wiun breathed roughly while continuously dry heaving.
Even so, he didn’t collapse and was glaring at Jeok Wigang.
“N-not yet…”
Even though his stamina was already exhausted, Jeok Wiun endured and tried to attack Jeok Wigang.
“You worked hard. You’ve shown enough. Now get some rest.”
When Jeok Wigang approached and patted his head, he collapsed as if fainting and fell asleep.
Jeok Mugun and Jeok Rihyeon watched this scene from afar.
“Remarkable. When I received the report, he was certainly at Super Peak Level 2nd Star, but now he’s already at Super Peak Level 8th Star.”
At the mention of a report, Jeok Rihyeon asked with surprised eyes.
“A report? Don’t tell me you were monitoring Wiun?”
“Monitoring? I just heard news about whether he was living well.”
Jeok Rihyeon chuckled at Jeok Mugun’s words.
While pretending not to care on the surface, he had been watching everything.
The resentment he had harbored all this time felt like it was disappearing.
He felt really good.
His relationship with Father had improved, and he had even received recognition.
Moreover, the successor had already reached the Super Peak Level 8th Star realm at such a young age.
This was rare even in the long history of the Martial World.
What made him happiest was Jeok Wigang’s strength.
He had always worried most about Jeok Wigang, but now there was no need for that anymore.
With all worries and concerns gone, his heart had never been so peaceful.
As his heart became peaceful, enlightenment came to him.
When Jeok Rihyeon gained enlightenment, Jeok Mugun spread his guard in all directions.
While doing so, he looked at Jeok Rihyeon with eyes full of affection.
In truth, the son he cherished most was none other than Jeok Rihyeon.
Perhaps because he was the youngest, he seemed even more precious.
When that son left, he had truly hated him.
He hadn’t even wanted to see him again.
But seeing him again like this made him so happy.
What had he been struggling so desperately for?
Thinking of Jeok Wigang, it all felt meaningless.
As he let go of everything like that, enlightenment came to Jeok Mugun as well.
The father and son were both sitting and gaining enlightenment simultaneously.
At this, Jeok Wigang chuckled softly and muttered an incantation.
To undergo Bone Transformation and Body Renewal along with gaining enlightenment.
That way, the effect would be more certain.
As he recited the incantation, circular barriers formed around Jeok Mugun and Jeok Rihyeon.
The two father and son’s energy turned golden and swirled together in the void, and that energy gradually grew stronger, scattering brilliant light in all directions that was dazzling to the eyes.
The energy began to amplify even more upon meeting the barriers, then soon divided and was absorbed into the two men’s bodies.
The two men’s bodies rose into the void with their bodies spread wide, and the clothes they wore burned away from the intense heat emanating from their bodies.
Crack- Pop-.
The two men’s bodies changed strangely and swelled up, then their skin began to peel away and their muscles started to reconstruct.
How much time had passed like that?
The heat emanating from the two men’s bodies subsided, and their floating bodies slowly descended to the ground.
The two men were completely laid down on the ground.
After a moment, both men’s eyes opened simultaneously.
Jolt-.
The two men who bolted upright the moment they opened their eyes.
After getting up and examining their own bodies, the two men soon looked at each other.
“My whole body is overflowing with energy. So much I can’t contain it.”
At Jeok Rihyeon’s words, Jeok Mugun clenched his fist tightly.
“I too feel like I can do anything now. I can become even stronger.”
Jeok Mugun and Jeok Rihyeon looked at Jeok Wigang.
“You?”
Jeok Wigang nodded his head.
“Since you gained enlightenment, I also proceeded with the promised Bone Transformation and Body Renewal.”
Jeok Rihyeon smiled and said to Jeok Mugun.
“I’ll catch up to you soon. I’m going to become stronger quickly now.”
At Jeok Rihyeon’s words, Jeok Mugun grinned and said.
“A hundred years is too soon, don’t you think?”
While the two were talking, Jeok Wigang’s voice was heard.
“I understand you’re in a good mood, but could you put on some clothes before talking?”
Only then did the two realize they were naked.
“Put this on.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re thankful for the clothes?”
To Jeok Wigang who asked with a grin, the two chuckled and said.
“For everything.”
The three generations looked at each other and smiled happily.
