Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 170
I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of Jeok Wiun’s face brightening up so quickly.
“But who is that person next to you?”
“Say hello. That person over there is my grandfather.”
“If you say grandfather… Huh! H-H-Heavenly Martial Emperor, sir?”
“Ahem! Yes. I am the H-H-Heavenly Martial Emperor.”
“I-I’m sorry. I was so surprised…”
“Next to him is my younger brother, Jeok Wiun.”
Jeok Wigang introduced Dang Un.
“This is Dang Un, the Young Family Head of the Sichuan Tang Family. Wi Un, you’re the same age as him, so get along well with each other.”
Jeok Mugun asked.
“Did you bring him to raise him?”
“Yes. He has talent.”
Then he asked Dang Un.
“How is my younger brother’s talent?”
“It’s outstanding! He overflows with dormant potential that’s still sleeping.”
At Dang Un’s words, Jeok Mugun showed curiosity.
“What?”
“He possesses the Heavenly White Eyes. So he can assess an opponent’s potential or strength.”
“Oh ho. Really? I’ve heard legends about such eyes existing, but I didn’t know they actually existed.”
Jeok Wiun asked with sparkling eyes.
“Is my potential really that high?”
Dang Un nodded his head.
“That’s right.”
Jeok Wigang interjected into the two people’s conversation.
“I told you to be friends.”
Jeok Wiun grumbled.
“I mean, what’s this about suddenly asking to be friends when we just met.”
“I’m fine with it.”
At Dangun’s words, Jeok Wiun scratched his cheek and said.
“Let’s get along well from now on.”
At Jeok Wiun’s words, Dangun smiled broadly and nodded.
“Yeah. Please take care of me.”
“But… why did you follow us here?”
“I followed to receive guidance from Older Brother.”
At those words, both Jeok Mugun and Jeok Wiun were surprised at the same time.
“R-really?”
Jeok Wiun was surprised.
“Ho! What an amazing fellow. You want to receive Wi Gang’s guidance? Hehe. What a bold one.”
Jeok Mugun was impressed.
“Older Brother… are you serious?”
“Yeah. I need to raise at least one person to be strong so they can help later. And since he has talent, of course I should train him.”
“I see…”
Jeok Wiun looked at Dangun with a pitiful expression and asked Jeok Wigang.
“The training I went through… he’ll do all of it, right?”
Seeing Jeok Wigang nod, Dangun became even more pitiful.
Well, still, if he can endure that hellish thing, he’ll become strong.
He wouldn’t tell him though.
It’s training that can only be endured if you don’t know what’s coming.
“Well… hang in there.”
“Thanks. I’ll work hard!”
Jeok Mugun laughed.
“That Guy sure is spirited.”
Right now, Jeok Mugun’s appearance was like that of a predator drooling after discovering prey.
Jeok Wiun decided to think positively.
Since Dangun is here, he’ll probably pay a little less attention to me now.
That should make things a bit easier, right?
He was satisfied with just that.
“Older Brother! What should I start with?”
“Hm? You came a long way today, so rest.”
“No! I want to become stronger as quickly as possible.”
At Dangun’s words, Jeok Wiun wanted to go over right away and shut that mouth.
It would be better to rest even for a day.
What a foolish guy, kicking away the consideration Older Brother was giving.
“Really?”
Wi Gang grinned wickedly.
Ah, I don’t want to watch.
Jeok Wiun turned his head away.
For Wi Gang, Training was Real Combat.
“If you insist. Come at me.”
“Pardon?”
“You said you want to train quickly. Come at me.”
“I meant Training, not sparring…”
“What Training is more certain than Real Combat? When a person goes back and forth between life and death, they’re bound to get stronger.”
“What? Such an absurd Training method…”
“That’s my Training method.”
Dangun sensed something was wrong.
“O-Older Brother. W-wait a moment!”
He quickly reached out his Hand to stop him, but it was too late.
Wi Gang’s Fist Attack had already approached right in front of his nose.
***
“Are you okay?”
“Damn it! It hurts like hell!”
“That’s why you shouldn’t be so overly enthusiastic… You should rest when it’s time to rest.”
“How was I supposed to know? I didn’t think he’d beat me up so suddenly like that!”
“What can you do? That’s going to be your daily routine from now on.”
At Jeok Wiun’s words, Dangun’s expression became troubled.
It’s only been one day.
“Ah!”
“What?”
“Earlier… the Gate Master looked at me with pity… Could it be because he knew about this?”
Jeok Wiun nodded his head.
“Huh… So everyone knew about it.”
“Still, you’re a guest and it’s your first day, so he went easy on you.”
“What?”
“On my first day, I went and saw what the threshold of the Underworld looked like.”
“But you’re his real younger brother.”
“I know. There’s no going easy just because I’m his real younger brother. If anything, it was worse.”
“Is, is that so?”
“The pain will all subside by the time you go to sleep.”
“What? Even though it hurts this much?”
“It seems like he only hit the painful spots, right?”
“Isn’t that what happened?”
“Of course not. Do you think my older brother would beat you up so thoughtlessly? That was all part of the meridian opening process. It’s painful now, but when you sleep and wake up, you’ll experience a refreshing feeling you’ve never felt before in your life.”
“Re, really?”
“Go inside and rest quickly. Starting tomorrow, you’ll have to do physical training too.”
“What kind of method is used for physical training?”
“It wouldn’t be fun if I told you in advance.”
“Ah, couldn’t you tell me? So I can at least prepare myself mentally.”
“One thing is certain.”
“What is it?”
“Today was just a taste of what’s to come.”
At Jeok Wiun’s words, Dangun’s expression hardened.
Should he just run away to the Tang family like this?
Such thoughts crossed his mind.
But he soon shook his head.
Because he knew well how great the expectations the Tang family had for him were.
I absolutely cannot give up.
Jeok Wiun chuckled at the sight of Dang Un steeling his resolve once again.
“I like you. How about a drink if your body’s okay?”
Jeok Wiun made a gesture of lifting a cup with his hand.
“I’m fine with it.”
“Will your body be okay?”
“I have to endure this much!”
“That’s manly. Let’s go. You’re my guest, so I’ll pay.”
“Thanks.”
***
The next day.
Dang Un tilted his head as he looked at the black weight placed before him.
“What is this?”
“From today, you’ll live wearing this. Whether you’re training, sleeping, eating, going to take a dump, or washing, you wear it without taking it off.”
“Yes.”
He put it on since he was told to.
“Huh?”
It was heavy.
Still, he could move.
Come to think of it, he seemed to have done this kind of training before.
The most primitive and basic training.
It was training where you gradually increased the weight to adapt your body.
Here was the same.
It was more ordinary than expected.
“Now, shall we begin?”
“What?”
“Training.”
“What kind of training do we do? Do we swing swords? Or horse stance?”
Jeok Wigang grinned.
“I told you yesterday, didn’t I? I only do one kind of training.”
“What? Su, surely… while wearing this?”
Jeok Wigang nodded his head.
“Yesterday was the first time, so I let it slide.”
Crazy!
“I just put this on today though? You should give me time to adapt…”
“There’s no such thing. If an enemy is stronger than you, would you ask for time to adapt?”
“Th, that’s not the case, but…”
“If you know it’s not, then let’s start. I have a lot to do today, so let’s hurry.”
“Wa, wait…”
Too late.
Two people watching from one side.
It was Jeok Mugun and Jeok Wiun.
“Were you like that too?”
“Yes. I had it worse than him.”
“Thanks to that, didn’t you become this strong?”
“Grandfather’s help was part of it too.”
“Hehehe. You rascal. You speak so sweetly too. But that doesn’t mean I’ll go easy on you.”
“Tch! It didn’t work.”
“Shall we start too?”
“The promise is still valid, right?”
“That’s right. If you lay a hand on my body, I’ll grant your wish.”
“Understood!”
“What on earth is this wish that makes you so enthusiastic?”
“I’ll tell you after I land a blow on Grandfather!”
“Hehehe. Good! Come at me!”
***
After finishing Dangun’s training, Jeok Wigang went to the trading company’s office.
Milyeong respectfully handed him a paper.
“Is this it?”
“Yes. I’ve selected only the most famous fabric shops in the Central Plains. Among them, I’ve narrowed it down to shops that have been around for about twenty years.”
“Good work.”
“Not at all, Lord.”
Milyeong had become the Hao Gate Branch Manager here in Honam Province and was gathering information for Jeok Wigang.
The paper Milyeong handed over contained four fabric shops.
“Are there any unusual features?”
“This place is said to be a bit unusual.”
“How so?”
“They make clothes, cotton cloth, and silk amazingly well, but their personality isn’t very good. Still, their skills are so excellent that people keep coming.”
“Really? That’s it? If people keep coming despite the unfriendliness, that means it’s the real deal. By any chance, are there any trading companies doing business with them?”
“The other three places have trading companies they deal with, but only this one doesn’t. It seems various places have made contact, but they all just got cursed at and chased away.”
“Then those trading companies just left it alone?”
“One trading company tried to cause trouble, but the next day the entire trading company was reduced to ashes.”
“Hooh.”
I got a feeling about something.
“Let’s go to this place.”
“Yes! I’ll guide you there.”
As I went out, I called Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang.
“There’s a place to go. Get ready.”
“Right now?”
“Yeah.”
“Understood.”
***
“What is that? That place?”
The fabric shop that Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang were looking at with bewildered expressions.
“Hey you! I won’t sell to someone who dresses like that! You don’t even have the right to wear clothes! Get lost!”
“What! I’m offering money! Just sell me some!”
“I said get lost! Won’t you leave? Where does some bastard who doesn’t even know how to dress come from! I can’t let you wear my precious babies! Go ahead, offer me a thousand gold! Will I sell to you?”
“Damn! Just because you make clothes well, you don’t know fear of heaven! Do you know who I am!”
“Who are you? Huh? Tell me. Who are you!”
“My father is the magistrate of this place!”
“Magistrate or whatever, I said I won’t sell! Get lost!”
“Just wait and see! I’ll make sure you can’t do business here!”
“Stupid fool. Ptui!”
He spat and went into the shop.
Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang looked at it in bewilderment.
“Doesn’t that personality seem familiar from somewhere?”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang were startled.
“Huh? Huh?”
They remembered.
“Is, is it really?”
“Yeah. It’s real.”
“Good heavens… He’s really making and selling clothes…”
It was enough to make them faint.
“Let’s go right now.”
“No, let’s watch a little longer. I’m curious about how he’s been living all this time.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang nodded.
“There’s a good place over there.”
Where Jeok Wigang pointed, there was a splendid hall.
Milyeong spoke.
“This is Chwihwaru, the most famous place here.”
“We’ll have a good view from the top floor there.”
When they moved to Chwihwaru, a man dressed in silk robes approached and greeted them kindly.
“Thank you for visiting our Chwihwaru. I am Buso, the Chief Steward of this Chwihwaru. I haven’t seen you before – is this your first time at Chwihwaru?”
When everyone nodded, the man continued his explanation.
“This place has different grades for each floor. Also, the east and west sides have different prices. As you can see, the east side overlooks the city while the west side has a beautiful lake view. That’s why the west side is a bit more expensive.”
“The city side.”
“The city view isn’t bad either. It’s quite enjoyable to have a drink while watching the crowds of people. Which floor shall I escort you to?”
“The very top floor.”
For a moment, the man flinched.
Then he spoke with a troubled expression.
“Guest, from the Seventh Floor onwards, you must rent a Room. The Seventh Floor costs one Gold Tael just to rent a Room. The eighth floor is two Gold Taels, the ninth floor is four Gold Taels, and the top floor is ten Gold Taels.”
“Well, that’s reasonable. Guide me there.”
