Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 20

 

 

 

Jeok Wiun let out a sigh.

He says it’s not his business so easily.

These days, it seems Father has high expectations too, as he’s already started teaching me the duties of a Gate Master.

I wanted to run over right away and tell him.

That there’s a real genius and monster right here.

In the meantime, Older Brother’s fists had become even stronger.

Three years ago, I thought it was ridiculous when Older Brother said his fists were still weak, but now I think I understand what he meant.

But how did he know they were weak?

Anyway, I’ve become incredibly strong.

But Older Brother has become much, much more incredibly strong.

Before, I thought I was at least worth the dirt under Older Brother’s fingernails.

Now I’m just dust clinging to Older Brother’s body.

Naturally, the Five Elements Incantation Method has also become stronger.

But Older Brother still says it’s weak and should only be used for show.

What kind of show splits the ground and turns house-sized boulders to powder with one strike?

Things that only absolute masters would unleash by other people’s standards are just for show to Older Brother.

My current level is peak-class.

They say the geniuses who turned the world upside down reached peak-class at my age.

Well, even I think it’s an incredible feat.

How many people enter peak-class at thirteen years old?

They say it’s one in ten thousand.

That one in ten thousand is me.

And the one who can easily defeat that one in ten thousand is Older Brother.

Can I ever beat Older Brother?

I think about it night after night, but there’s no answer.

There’s no way I can beat Older Brother.

There’s exactly one person in the world who can beat Older Brother.

Mother.

Not even Father.

How do I know?

I heard Older Brother muttering recently.

He was worried that Father seemed to have weakened lately and wondering if he should make Father train too.

What about Mother?

He would never make her do such training.

Mother is invincible when she cries.

Even Older Brother, who’s so strong, is just a child in front of Mother’s tears.

 

“What are you thinking about so deeply? If you’re ready, let’s begin.”

“Haah.”

 

Time to get beaten again.

Today too, let me struggle to get hit even one less time.

 

 

 

Five years later.

On the day Jeok Wigang reached the age of twenty, his Younger Brother Jeok Wiun became the official successor of Jin Mu Sect at eighteen years old.

No one opposed the second son becoming the successor instead of the first.

They all knew well that Jeok Wigang had a constitution that couldn’t learn martial arts.

So the leadership was grateful that Jeok Wigang showed no greed for the successor position of Jin Mu Sect.

On the day Jeok Wiun ascended as the official successor, people watched Jeok Wigang’s reaction.

Wondering if he might harbor any resentment.

But seeing him genuinely rejoice at his Younger Brother’s succession, they realized their worries were unfounded.

People were consoling Jeok Wigang, saying that making a name for himself in the world wouldn’t be bad either.

Jeok Wiun, watching this scene, let out a hollow laugh.

In his eyes, Older Brother was the best under heaven.

Simply without equal.

Not long ago, a canal had suddenly appeared in this region.

People were puzzled by the suddenly appeared canal, then rejoiced, calling it a gift from heaven.

Thanks to it, transportation became easier and the city developed tremendously.

Jeok Wiun had clearly witnessed how that canal was born.

Jeok Wigang had said he seemed to have regained his strength and threw a single punch, which became the canal.

If I told people this, they’d call me crazy.

Even seeing it with my own eyes, I wondered if I was the one going insane.

Jeok Wiun realized.

Before Older Brother’s fists, martial levels mean nothing.

It seemed like no one could stop him.

Moreover, Older Brother’s Five Elements Incantation Method had become stronger and more mystical.

Now there seemed to be nothing the Five Elements Incantation Method couldn’t do.

These days he seems absorbed in blacksmithing.

He visits the blacksmith shop in the village every day and spends his whole day there before coming home.

Of course, only Taecheon and I know this.

Jeok Wiun looked at the sword in his hands.

It was a sword Older Brother had given him as a gift to celebrate becoming the official successor.

He said he named it the True Martial Heaven Sword.

Thinking it wouldn’t be an ordinary sword since Older Brother gave it to me, I drew it.

Insane!

It was an incredible sword, the likes of which I’d never seen in my life.

What Older Brother said was even more remarkable.

It recognizes its owner?

He said if anyone other than me grabs the sword, they’ll be electrocuted by lightning and die.

So he earnestly warned me to always be careful.

 

“What if Father or Mother accidentally touch it?”

“It’s fine if they touch it. I’ve put their energy signatures in it.”

 

I looked at the sword.

Jeok Wiun was currently learning two martial arts.

True Martial Divine Art and True Martial Lightning Sword.

True Martial Divine Art was Jin Mu Sect’s secret martial art, and True Martial Lightning Sword was a martial art created by Jeok Wigang.

The sword optimized for such True Martial Lightning Sword was the True Martial Divine Sword.

When wielding True Martial Lightning Sword with the True Martial Divine Sword, internal energy consumption decreases while power increases dramatically.

Jeok Wiun’s current level was super peak-class third star.

Throughout the entire history of the Martial World, no one of this age had ever possessed such a level.

That’s why the elders of Jin Mu Sect were delighted that Jeok Wiun became the official successor.

The person with the most outstanding martial talent in Jin Mu Sect’s history would become the next Gate Master.

However, everyone is greatly mistaken.

I don’t have the most outstanding martial talent in history. I was simply forced to become this way by the most outstanding being in history.

It’s all just the result of struggling desperately to survive.

That doesn’t mean I dislike it though.

Being strong is a good thing after all.

The problem is that Older Brother’s expectations keep getting higher.

I’m not even twenty yet, but what am I supposed to do when he gets disappointed that my level hasn’t reached the Transformation realm?

At the young age of eighteen. Even though I reached supreme master level and became Jin Mu Sect’s successor, one thing hasn’t changed.

I still get beaten up by Older Brother.

From getting hit so much, my body itself has become close to Vajra Indestructible Body, as if my tolerance for pain has strengthened.

That doesn’t mean Older Brother’s punches don’t hurt though.

Even real Vajra Indestructible Body would shatter before Older Brother’s fists.

Anyway, I have one complaint about Older Brother.

He pretends to be weak when he’s that strong.

No, that’s not right.

He’s never pretended to be weak.

He just doesn’t do anything.

I want to tell people.

How strong our Older Brother is.

They say a sharp awl will pierce through a bag.

Even without saying anything, the world will know someday.

Who the greatest monster of all time is.

 

 

 

Jeok Wigang went out to the village with Taecheon.

 

“Aren’t you dissatisfied, Taecheon?”

“About what, sir?”

“Guarding me when I’m not even the successor. For someone with talent like yours, Taecheon, it wouldn’t be a waste of manpower to guard Younger Brother instead of me.”

“For me, there is only Young Master.”

 

Jeok Wigang grinned at Taecheon’s words.

Excluding family, my real person.

That was exactly who Taecheon was.

In fact, though he didn’t say it out loud, Taecheon served Jeok Wigang as his lord.

Jeok Wigang knew this fact too.

 

“Today I’m thinking of revealing something I’ve been hiding from Taecheon all this time.”

“Was there something you were hiding from me?”

“Yes.”

“That can’t be. I know every single move Young Master makes.”

 

Jeok Wigang chuckled at Taecheon’s confident statement.

 

“Can you guarantee those words?”

“Of course. Go ahead and tell me. I’ll confirm whether there’s really a secret I don’t know.”

“Would you believe it if I told you I’m stronger than people who have learned martial arts, Taecheon?”

 

Taecheon laughed.

 

“Huh? You’re laughing? I’m serious though.”

“I’m sorry. But what you just said makes no sense.”

“You don’t believe me? Even now, if I put my mind to it, I could leave Taecheon behind.”

 

Taecheon just smiled.

That’s when it happened.

When Taecheon felt warmth at his neck, he turned his head.

There stood Jeok Wigang with a grin.

When he turned his head back, the figure of Jeok Wigang that had been in front of him became blurry and disappeared.

 

“H-how is this possible?”

“How about it? Do you believe me a little now?”

“Is this Clone Technique?”

“No, I just moved quickly?”

“What? Young Master… how did you use martial arts?”

“It’s not martial arts? I just moved fast.”

“Is that possible?”

“Yes. It’s possible for me.”

 

A voice came from behind the disbelieving Taecheon again.

 

“I told you it’s real?”

 

When he turned his head again, Jeok Wigang was already standing there.

 

“Do you believe me a little now?”

“So you’re saying this movement right now… is moving without Internal Energy?”

“That’s right. This is what I wanted to tell Taecheon today. The fact that I’m stronger than you think.”

 

Taecheon’s expression was changing by the moment.

 

“Were you able to learn martial arts?”

 

Jeok Wigang shook his head.

 

“No, I’ve been fast and strong since birth. Without needing to learn martial arts separately.”

“It’s not just speed that’s fast, is it?”

“That’s right. My strength is also strong.”

“I’m curious about Young Master’s strength. Could you show me?”

 

Jeok Wigang said with a grin.

 

“I can show you as much as you want. How about it? Shall we move to a different place?”

“That sounds good.”

 

Jeok Wigang and Taecheon moved to a nearby deserted location.

 

“Are you really going to attack?”

 

When Taecheon asked with a worried expression, Jeok Wigang wiggled his finger.

 

“Come in.”

 

Jeok Wigang spoke to Taecheon, who couldn’t figure out if this was really the right thing to do.

 

“If you’re reluctant to come, I’ll go to you.”

 

The moment he thought that might actually be better.

He was startled by Jeok Wigang’s figure that had somehow approached right in front of him and quickly dodged.

 

Whoosh-.

 

A strong wind that made his collar flutter passed by Taecheon’s face.

He was surprised.

Such power.

This was really a punch without Internal Power.

He couldn’t believe it.

The attack wasn’t over.

A punch that passed right in front of Taecheon’s nose as he quickly turned his head away, feeling an eerie sensation.

His nose tip felt tingly.

 

Trickle-.

 

It wasn’t just a tingly feeling, it seemed.

Red blood flowed down from his nose.

 

“Haha.”

 

A hollow laugh escaped him.

Had he been careless?

No.

He had really felt danger and dodged with all his might.

Just a light graze, yet his nose was numb and bleeding.

Even though he had dodged, he seemed to have taken damage from the pressure.

 

“Amazing, Young Master. I didn’t know you were this strong.”

“Right? I told you. I’m strong.”

“Yes. I acknowledge it.”

“Then, let’s continue.”

“What? I think we could stop now?”

“No. Taecheon hasn’t shown his full power yet.”

“What? You want to draw out my full power now?”

“Yeah.”

 

That’s ridiculous.

No matter how strong one is without Internal Energy, there are limits.

Even earlier, Jeok Wigang’s attack had hit because he himself hadn’t used Internal Power and had purely relied on physical strength alone.

The moment he used Internal Power, the gap would widen instantly.

Taecheon pondered and made a decision.

He had to show him now.

How dangerous it was to fight someone who used Internal Energy.

That way Jeok Wigang wouldn’t act recklessly.

When Taecheon’s expression became serious, Jeok Wigang finally showed a satisfied expression.

 

“You should have done that from the start.”

“I’ll show you how dangerous it is to challenge someone with Martial Arts.”

“Yeah. Show me.”

 

Jeok Wigang charged forward.

Taecheon planned to carefully draw up his Internal Energy and block Jeok Wigang’s punch.

If too strong, Jeok Wigang’s fist might shatter, so he wrapped just enough Internal Power around his arm to cause pain when struck.

 

Thud-.

 

“Kugh!”
