Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 59

 

 

 

Meanwhile, One-Eye told him about things that absolutely must not be done here while they were moving.

 

“I am the Xuanwu Officer of Museong Pavilion here. I’m in charge of discipline in this place. The Xuanwu Officer’s word is law. If you disobey, disciplinary action ranges from expulsion to immediate execution in severe cases, so keep that in mind.”

“Yes.”

“All facilities here can be freely used by anyone regardless of rank. However, accommodation and meals are differentiated according to rank. Also, when your rank rises, you can receive Spirit Pills given by Heavenly Martial City, and the higher you go, the better Spirit Pills you can obtain, so keep that in mind.”

“Yes.”

“We don’t fight with words here. If you have complaints, resolve them with your fists. However, you must not kill your opponent.”

 

He liked that rule.

 

“Yes.”

“For everything else, read this.”

“Yes.”

 

The place they arrived at following the instructor was a long hall with several rooms packed closely together.

 

“This is where you’ll be staying from today.”

 

Each room had a number written above it, and the room assigned to Jeok Wigang was 7th Grade Room 3.

 

“This is the place where you’ll be living from now on.”

“Yes.”

“Since today is your first day, read that book and take time to adapt to this place.”

“Yes.”

 

The Xuanwu Officer grinned while watching Jeok Wigang respond.

It was a somewhat meaningful expression.

 

“Have a good first night.”

 

The Xuanwu Officer left with incomprehensible words, waving his hand.

Jeok Wigang didn’t pay much attention and opened the book.

Inside were detailed descriptions of training methods and promotion procedures available at Museong Pavilion.

Since he already knew roughly how this place operated before coming, he could understand without reading in detail.

What Jeok Wigang was curious about was the Seven Star Ascension Tower.

The desire to go and challenge it immediately surged within him, but he held back.

The purpose of coming here wasn’t promotion.

It was to examine whether Museong Pavilion also had problems.

Even without challenging the Seven Star Ascension Tower, each of these experiences was novel and interesting.

When he came outside and looked around, the halls were clustered together densely and didn’t look to be in very good condition.

Certainly, the 7th grade, being the lowest rank, received poor treatment.

Out of sadness and resentment, one would probably grit their teeth and train hard.

The room was filled with musty sweat odors, and cleanliness was also poor.

It seemed people came in and slept without even washing.

He didn’t like that.

If he was going to sleep here, he’d have to clean the room first.

He muttered while looking at the room.

 

“Dust Cleansing Purification, Transform Turbidity to Stillness. Wash Energy Correct Form, Clear and Bright as Beginning.”

 

As soon as the incantation ended, white light flashed from his hands, and black energy began flowing out of the room rapidly.

When the black energy disappeared, a refreshing breeze arose in the room, gathering all the dust and expelling it outside.

The musty smell and stained floor changed to look like new, and even the clothes became clean as if they had been washed.

Just as he was satisfied after finishing cleaning, noisy sounds were heard and a group of people approached toward where Jeok Wigang was standing.

Then they discovered Jeok Wigang.

 

“Oh? Looks like a new person has arrived?”

 

At someone’s comment, the chattering stopped and all eyes focused on Jeok Wigang in an instant.

People examining Jeok Wigang from top to bottom.

Their gazes were filled with hostility.

Why were they looking at him with such eyes?

They looked like they might rush at him at any moment.

Now he could guess why the instructor had smiled and told him to have a good first night.

Jeok Wigang chuckled.

 

“Laughing?”

 

Jeok Wigang slowly stood up.

 

“That’s right. I should establish the hierarchy clearly before proceeding, shouldn’t I?”

 

That way there would be no disturbances.

Since he came out so confidently, the 7th grade trainees were rather flustered.

Jeok Wigang gestured with his hand.

 

“What are you doing? Let’s start quickly. It seems like meal time is coming soon.”

 

Everyone was just reading the situation and couldn’t readily attack.

Jeok Wigang spoke.

 

“What’s this? You acted like you’d attack boldly at first. Are only cowards gathered among those in 7th grade?”

 

At the word cowards, the faces of the trainees gathered there turned red with anger.

 

“This damn bastard!”

“I’ll kill that bastard and leave Museong Pavilion!”

 

The trainees all rushed toward Jeok Wigang at once.

Jeok Wigang’s palm struck hard against the face of the trainee who rushed first.

 

Crack-.

Whoosh-.

Crash-.

 

That was the beginning.

 

Crack- Thud- Crunch-.

 

The charging trainees all failed to withstand Jeok Wigang’s single strike and went flying.

In an instant, three of them fainted while foaming at the mouth.

One remained.

 

“You’re the strongest among them?”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, the remaining one nodded.

 

“What are you doing? Not coming?”

 

Originally, he had planned to let the other trainees drain Jeok Wigang’s strength, then step in at the end to torment him.

But Jeok Wigang had dealt with the trainees in an instant and was looking at him with an all too relaxed expression.

 

“Not coming? Then I’ll come to you.”

“W-wait!”

 

He urgently raised his hand to try to stop him, but Jeok Wigang didn’t stop.

If he was going to use force anyway, he might as well do it thoroughly to avoid future troubles.

 

Thwack-.

 

“Kugh!”

 

Sharp pain rising from his abdomen wrapped around his entire body.

It hurt so much, so why wasn’t he fainting like the other kids?

 

Smack-.

 

An impact that felt like his face would fly off came from the right side.

 

Smack-.

 

This time it was the opposite side.

The captain couldn’t even faint and was unilaterally beaten by Jeok Wigang until dust flew.

When his eyes and lips were swollen and his mind became hazy.

Jeok Wigang stopped hitting him and whispered in the captain’s ear.

 

“I won’t let you faint. So don’t harbor false hopes.”

 

What did he mean.

It felt like he would lose consciousness if he got hit just a little more.

He wanted to shout for him to hit him more.

But then Jeok Wigang muttered something.

 

“Return Energy to Meridians, Calm Soul and Heal Wounds, Stop Bleeding and Restore Form, Return to Origin and Restore Life.”

 

When the muttering ended, white light arose from Jeok Wigang’s fingertips and an energy that seemed to calm the mind enveloped his entire body.

The pain disappeared and he felt like his whole body was being purified.

While he was enjoying this good feeling for a while, Jeok Wigang’s voice was heard again.

 

“Now, let’s start again.”

 

What did he mean start again?

When he came to his senses, his body had somehow fully recovered.

Was it a dream?

 

“It’s not a dream. I healed you. How is it? Pretty amazing, right?”

 

In Jeok Wigang’s grinning appearance, the captain saw a demon.

 

“Now, let’s begin.”

“W-wait…”

 

This time too, Jeok Wigang didn’t stop.

 

 

 

Even though it was before the silent time when everyone would sleep, Jeok Wigang’s room was quiet.

Inside the room, all the trainees were kneeling before Jeok Wigang with their heads bowed.

 

“Since we’ve met like this through fate, let’s introduce ourselves. You start first.”

“I am the second son of Baekyang Gate. My name is Yeon Chowu and this is my second year here. I came here to become strong and show my true worth to the family members who look down on me.”

“I am Gam Taeseong, the eldest of Hwiyang Gate. Since my younger brother has better abilities, Father sent me here to make him the successor. He told me to live as a warrior of Heavenly Martial City, not of Hwiyang Gate.”

“I’m called Hwang Gyeryun, the second son of Golden Escort Agency. The reason I came here is because I want to become strong.”

“I’m Bang Cheonho of Changmu Hall. I came to experience it because I heard Cheonmu Gate was the best under heaven.”

“I’m Woo Seokin of Cheonnyeon Mountain Villa. I’m an illegitimate son, and after my mother who was on my side passed away, I had nowhere to go so I came here.”

 

After each person finished their self-introduction, everyone’s gaze turned to Jeok Wigang.

He considered introducing himself falsely, then grinned and spoke.

 

“I am the eldest son of Jin Mu Sect, called Jeok Wigang. Like you, Gam Taeseong, my younger brother has better abilities and became the successor, and I was wandering the world leisurely when I happened to hear rumors about Museong Pavilion and came here. The reason I could enter this place was because I received a recommendation from Cheonjang Gong of Heavenly Craft Road.”

“Y-you received Cheonjang Gong’s recommendation?”

“You received a recommendation from that strict person.”

“Is Jin Mu Sect a sect famous for blacksmithing?”

 

Everyone was speaking in surprise, but only Woo Seokin looked at Jeok Wigang quietly as if he had realized something.

To this, Jeok Wigang smiled and said.

 

“Why are you looking at me with those eyes?”

“That… What is your relationship with the Cheonmu Castle Lord?”

 

At Woo Seokin’s question, the other trainees’ heads whipped around.

 

“What are you talking about?”

“Why would the Cheonmu Castle Lord come up here?”

 

Everyone asked with expressions that said what kind of crazy talk that was.

Then.

 

“He’s my grandfather.”

 

The heads that had turned toward Woo Seokin turned back toward Jeok Wigang even faster.

They turned so quickly that wind blew in the room.

 

“What?”

 

Everyone looked at Jeok Wigang with expressions like their eyes were about to pop out.

 

“Why? Does it seem like a lie?”

 

Everyone nodded their heads.

 

“It’s true. Well, I don’t live here though. But how did you figure it out?”

“I heard it before. That the Cheonmu Castle Lord had a second son who was driven out and settled in the Jin Mu Sect. But seeing that you use the surname Jeok from the current Jin Mu Sect, I asked just in case.”

“Right. My father was driven out by grandfather.”

“Then shouldn’t you not come here? You must have fallen completely out of favor.”

“Out of favor? I don’t think so. Grandfather probably wants me to become the Cheonmu Castle Lord.”

“What?”

“I’m quite strong, you see.”

 

He spoke with a grin, and no one objected.

But that was strong by their standards, and they still didn’t know how strong he actually was.

 

“Anyway, do you guys want to move up in rank?”

“What? Yes.”

“How much?”

“My goal is third rank.”

“Mine is sixth rank.”

“Mine is fourth rank.”

“Mine is fourth rank too.”

“Mine is fifth rank.”

 

They were all different.

Jeok Wigang chuckled and said.

 

“Let’s unify them all.”

“What?”

“Let me see. Is third rank the highest you can reach? Let’s aim for third rank for now.”

“Th-third rank?”

“Yeah. Let’s all go for third rank.”

“That’s not as easy as it sounds. We’ve been challenging continuously, but sixth rank was the highest.”

“What? You went up and then came back down?”

“Well… we were challenged and the opponent was strong…”

 

He nodded his head.

The level was low, but it didn’t seem as broken as he had thought, which made him feel good.

If the level is low, you just need to raise it.

If their skills hadn’t improved until now, it meant their training was wrong.

If they hadn’t gotten stronger, one could think that perhaps the intensity of training was too weak.

Jeok Wigang looked at the people in this room and made a resolution.

He would make these guys into the elite of the elite of Heavenly Martial City.

 

“I’m the captain of this room. No objections, right?”

 

There was no way anyone would object.

 

“I don’t have that much time, you see. Come here one by one.”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, Gam Taeseong stepped forward first.

 

“Stay still.”

 

He placed his hand on Gam Taeseong’s head and muttered an incantation.

 

“Open Eyes Observe Soul, Illuminate Qi Observe Meridians, Hidden Wisdom Can Be Seen, Deep Nature Can Be Clear.”

 

As the incantation ended, faint rays of light extended from the opponent’s body and he could feel the energy flowing through Gam Taeseong’s body.

At the same time, a refreshing energy felt from Gam Taeseong’s body.

The problem was that the flow of internal power couldn’t properly unleash the true strength of this energy.
