Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 66
Why can’t he train on nights when the full moon is bright?
I couldn’t understand it.
Is there some reason for it?
I think I need to see Hwang Jin Hyeok’s skills first.
“Use all the martial arts you know and attack me.”
Hwang Jin Hyeok nodded at Jeok Wigang’s words.
“Then I’m coming.”
“Yeah. Come at me.”
He crossed both arms and gathered his energy, then kicked off the ground and moved quickly toward Jeok Wigang.
Whoosh-.
His movements were faster than expected.
Before I knew it, Hwang Jin Hyeok’s right foot was flying toward Jeok Wigang’s face.
Whoong-.
With the sound of cutting through the wind, it grazed past his face, and immediately the opposite leg came flying.
“Shadowless Whirlwind Kick!”
Shuaaak-.
Wind arose and Hwang Jin Hyeok’s feet seemed to multiply into dozens, moving dazzlingly as they spun inward.
Pa-pa-pa-pat-.
The legs weren’t moving randomly, but were accurately targeting vital points and coming in fast.
His internal energy was weak, but his martial arts were decent.
Kwang-!
Hwang Jin Hyeok’s foot failed to hit Jeok Wigang and struck the ground instead.
In that gap, he immediately drove his fist into Hwang Jin Hyeok’s abdomen.
Thud-.
“Kugh!”
He was pushed back from the impact, then gritted his teeth and kicked off the ground to move again.
That attack just now wasn’t even that weak, yet he endured it and charged again.
His willpower was decent too.
This time he made his fingers into claw shapes and approached Jeok Wigang in an almost lying position, skimming the ground like a skipping stone.
“Stone-Breaking Dragon Claw Beast!”
Kka-ga-ga-gak-.
Every time Hwang Jin Hyeok’s hands moved, sharp claw marks were carved into the ground.
He looked delicate, but his attacking martial arts had a strong beastly feeling.
“Ascending Dragon Claw!”
Shu-ga-ga-gak-.
I lightly dodged as he quickly extended his arms upward from his feet toward his upper body, then drove my fist straight into his face.
Thwack-.
Thud-thud-.
He lost his balance from the impact and rolled backward.
Blood was smeared at the corner of Hwang Jin Hyeok’s mouth.
“Are you okay?”
Hwang Jin Hyeok grinned and nodded.
“This is fun. Let’s do more.”
Huh?
It seems like his way of speaking changed a little?
Am I mistaken?
“Alright. Come at me.”
Without answering, he kicked off the ground and approached quickly.
I could feel a distinctly different speed from before.
It might just be my feeling, but his claws seemed to protrude more too.
While I was observing Hwang Jin Hyeok, his hands were already flying toward Jeok Wigang’s face, tracing an arc.
“Diamond Destruction!”
Kwa-ga-ga-gak-.
When Jeok Wigang dodged, four long straight marks were gouged in that spot.
Unlike his behavior, his attacks were fierce.
It was hard to believe this was the same person who had tears in his eyes earlier when he said he made a friend.
“This is fun! So fun!”
Hwang Jin Hyeok looked at Jeok Wigang with a deep smile on his lips.
“Huh? Your eyes are…”
Before the words could even finish, Hwang Jin Hyeok came running quickly.
His appearance felt like a beast charging forward.
“Rib Armor Breaking Claw!”
Hwang Jin Hyeok’s appearance as he unleashed his martial arts while radiating the eyes of a beast was like a beast itself.
Kukukwang-.
One wall was destroyed by the power of the Rib Armor Breaking Claw that Hwang Jin Hyeok unleashed.
Unlike before, his internal energy had also become tremendously strong.
It was even getting stronger and stronger.
His power had definitely been amplified.
Jeok Wigang, who finally sensed something strange, muttered an incantation and examined Hwang Jin Hyeok’s body.
‘Oh ho!’
It was surprising.
An tremendously ferocious energy was latent in Hwang Jin Hyeok’s body, and it was now erupting.
“Grrrr!”
A real beast’s sound came from Hwang Jin Hyeok’s mouth.
It was absurd.
“Are you making beast sounds on purpose?”
Hwang Jin Hyeok gave no answer.
“What? No way? Have you been devoured?”
Jeok Wigang looked up at the sky.
He could see the full moon shining brightly.
Could it be that the warning never to go out during a full moon was because this energy goes berserk when it becomes a full moon?
“Kraaaang!”
It seemed right.
The being before his eyes now was not Hwang Jin Hyeok, but a wild beast that had lost its reason and gone berserk.
“Interesting. Really interesting.”
There were so many interesting things in the world, and he regretted having lived only on the mountain until now.
Hwang Jin Hyeok attacked toward the amused Jeok Wigang at a speed on a completely different dimension from before.
Shugagagak-.
Every time Hwang Jin Hyeok’s hand moved, deep marks were continuously created on the ground.
To make such deep marks on a floor made of Blue Steel Stone meant power far beyond ordinary internal energy or strength.
Yet Hwang Jin Hyeok was doing it as if it were nothing.
Of course, it would be the power of that beast, not Hwang Jin Hyeok himself.
If Hwang Jin Hyeok could properly use that power, he would become a tremendous master.
How could he make him control that power?
Should he try giving him pain first?
He threw a fist toward Hwang Jin Hyeok who was charging while radiating killing intent.
Jjeok-.
He hit with the same force as before.
“Huh?”
Piing-.
He was surprised by the attack that ignored Jeok Wigang’s fist and came in.
“Wow!”
It was the first time.
The first time an attack had come in despite being hit by his fist.
It was refreshing.
That made it even more interesting.
It wasn’t a very strong fist, but to endure it and come in anyway.
A deep smile formed on Jeok Wigang’s lips.
“Let’s see how far you can endure.”
He threw his fist with a bit more force.
Ppeok-!
“Kraeek!”
There was a reaction.
Even stronger here.
Jjeugeok-!
“Kkieek!”
An even stronger reaction.
This confirmed that he definitely felt pain.
Then should he beat him until he wakes up?
When Jeok Wigang licked his lips and looked with a pleasant smile, Hwang Jin Hyeok’s movements, which had been attacking recklessly, stopped for the first time.
Having become a beast, he instinctively knew better.
Just how strong Jeok Wigang was.
And what he had done.
Hwang Jin Hyeok hesitated and stepped back.
“Grrrrr!”
He was even giving a warning not to come closer.
But when Jeok Wigang ignored the warning and entered, Hwang Jin Hyeok tried to escape.
“Where do you think you’re going.”
“Kraaang!”
He thrashed wildly and attacked, trying to shake off Jeok Wigang.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh-.
Hwang Jin Hyeok flinched at the sight of Jeok Wigang smiling nonchalantly even though all the attacks had hit him.
He realized that something was seriously wrong.
“Are you done? Well then, let’s get beaten until you become obedient.”
“Kraaang!”
He lightly grabbed the collar of Hwang Jin Hyeok who was charging with bared teeth, then said with a cold smile.
“Disobedient beasts need a good beating.”
Thud thud thud-.
He began mercilessly beating the struggling Hwang Jin Hyeok.
“Kraaaak!”
All night long, the screams of a beast writhing in pain echoed throughout Museong Pavilion.
“Uuugh!”
Hwang Jin Hyeok, who had regained consciousness, groaned in pain.
“What, what is this? Why does it hurt so much?”
“You’re awake?”
“Ugh. What happened? I remember up to using Blood Armor Breaking Claw.”
“You really don’t remember anything?”
“Huh? Why? What happened?”
“There’s a beast inside you.”
“What are you talking about.”
“A beast’s energy is sleeping inside you. It got beaten up badly by me and ran away.”
“A beast’s energy is inside me?”
“That’s right. Probably when you see a full moon or use more than seventy percent of your power, that wild force awakens.”
“Then, the times I lost my memory too?”
“All because you were consumed by that power. If we leave it like this, someday you might be completely consumed by that power and lose your identity entirely.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Hwang Jin Hyeok spoke with a fearful expression.
“My identity will disappear? That, that’s no different from dying, right?”
“That’s right.”
“I don’t want to die! I just finally made friends.”
“Then you need to overcome the beast’s power.”
“How?”
Jeok Wigang recalled the beast’s power that had fled from his fists.
“Starting tomorrow, when you train with me, come at me with full power.”
“Huh? But then the beast’s power will come out.”
“It has to come out. That’s the only way I can understand it and think of a solution.”
“Ah, I see?”
“Just trust me. I’ll make it so you can use the beast’s power completely.”
“Re, really?”
“Yeah. The beast’s power is really strong. If you can gain that power, you can become truly strong.”
“Okay. I’ll only trust you.”
“Good. Then let’s start tomorrow morning.”
“Yeah!”
The next day.
As soon as he woke up and ate breakfast, Hwang Jin Hyeok, who would normally pick at his rice and stir-fried bok choy, was wolfing it down.
Seeing this, Jeok Wigang chuckled.
“Didn’t you used to ask how anyone could eat this stuff?”
“It’s actually delicious when you try it. Munch munch.”
After answering, he again pushed rice into his mouth with his chopsticks.
The two people who had filled their stomachs moved to the training ground.
The two who went to the Room 7 Exclusive Training Ground stood facing each other.
“Well, shall we begin?”
“Yeah.”
“You know, right? Come at me with full power.”
“Got it.”
“Come right at me.”
“Yeah!”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh-.
After taking the Energy Gathering Stance, he immediately drew up all his internal power.
“Here I come!”
Whoosh-.
Jeok Wigang dodged here and there, avoiding Hwang Jin Hyeok’s rapidly approaching attacks.
After attacking like that for a while, Hwang Jin Hyeok paused for a moment.
“Huff huff! W-wait a moment.”
“Why?”
“I kept attacking with full power and it’s exhausting. Maybe because I’ve never attacked with full power before, it feels like my body can’t adapt.”
That made sense.
“But I’ve been going all out for so long, why isn’t the beast’s power coming out?”
“I wonder?”
“Should we try more?”
“You need to get used to attacking with full power anyway, so let’s continue.”
“Yeah!”
“I, I can’t do any more.”
Thud-.
Hwang Jin Hyeok sat down heavily on the ground, breathing roughly.
“My internal power is completely drained.”
Jeok Wigang stood still and observed Hwang Jin Hyeok.
It was strange.
Does it only come out during the full moon?
That couldn’t be it.
He had earnestly advised using only seventy percent of full power because he expected the beast’s power would emerge if more than that was used.
But even after attacking with full power for so long, it didn’t appear.
What’s this?
Why won’t it come out?
Does this thing choose people?
“Let me examine your body more closely.”
“Huh? O-okay. What should I do?”
“Just give me your wrist.”
“Got it.”
When Hwang Jin Hyeok extended his wrist, Jeok Wigang muttered an incantation.
“Muscle-Bone Energy Response, Energy Meridian Harmony, Dantian Inspection, Martial Way Compatibility”
Then the inside of Hwang Jin Hyeok’s body began to become visible.
Since he knew where that power was hidden, he turned his gaze there.
Sure enough, it was still in the same place he had seen yesterday.
‘Hmm. Why on earth won’t it move?’
How could he try to touch that thing?
Let’s try to forcibly awaken it.
“Can I place my hand on your dantian?”
The dantian is the most important part for a martial artist.
Placing one’s hand there without permission was an act that would justify being killed on the spot.
“Huh? Sure.”
Hwang Jin Hyeok gave permission without the slightest hesitation.
Jeok Wigang’s mood improved at the voice filled with firm trust.
It felt like he had truly gained a good friend.
After receiving permission, he immediately reached his hand toward the dantian and muttered an incantation.
Then white light emanated from his hand and enveloped Hwang Jin Hyeok’s dantian.
And he closed his eyes and concentrated on the beast’s power.
– Scary. Scary. This is a scary human.
He seemed to hear some kind of sound.
The beast was trembling in fear.
It seemed to instinctively judge accurately who was the stronger predator than itself.
It had self-awareness.
A potential with self-awareness.
This was the first time he’d heard of such a thing.
It didn’t seem like energy that had been latent inside from the beginning.
It felt like power had been forcibly inserted inside?
