Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 71
At that moment, one Seungwisa began to laugh.
“Kekekek!”
“What? Have you gone mad from the pain?”
“No. I feel like I’m finally realizing that I’m a martial artist. This is what a martial artist should be like. Don’t you think?”
At those words, the other Seungwisa chuckled and then burst into loud laughter.
“Right. You’re absolutely right. This is what a real martial artist is.”
“I can’t even remember the last time I had a life-or-death combat like this.”
“As expected of someone chosen by the Castle Lord. Not only are you strong, but you’ve even awakened us.”
“If we’re going to start training at dawn tomorrow, let’s hurry and go sleep. We need to recover our bodies as much as possible to endure tomorrow too.”
“That’s right. Let’s go.”
Everyone endured the pain and got up again, heading toward their accommodation.
On their way to the accommodation, they all stopped walking when they saw the Seven Star Ascension Tower.
“Wh-what is that?”
“The tower has become completely new!”
“Did workers come and go?”
“What are you talking about? For people to pass through, they’d have to go through our training ground.”
“Not even a single ant passed by.”
“Then how do you explain that?”
The Seungwisa stood with their mouths agape at the sight of the Seven Star Ascension Tower, completely transformed like new.
“Could it be? That person did it alone?”
“Come on. Even if the formation is possible, changing the tower itself like that is absolutely impossible to do alone.”
“The formation alone was already too much for one person. The Military Advisor mobilized dozens of people just to change the Ascension Tower formation. And even then it took a month.”
It felt like being possessed by a ghost.
“The fog has all disappeared too.”
“That’s right. Now that the fog is gone, everything feels so refreshing.”
“What could we possibly figure out by looking? That person must have taken care of everything. Let’s hurry inside and rest. I’m dying.”
“Right. Let’s hurry and rest.”
The next day.
The Seungwisa who opened their eyes were looking at their own bodies with curious expressions.
“What? The pain has greatly subsided in just one night.”
“Compared to yesterday, this level of pain isn’t even pain.”
“Hey hey, compared to yesterday, this doesn’t hurt at all.”
“We’ll be late for training. Let’s hurry.”
“Right!”
Everyone hurriedly changed clothes with excited faces and rushed out to the training ground.
Unlike their previous lack of motivation, everyone was brimming with vitality.
Seeing the energetic Seungwisa, Jeok Wigang chuckled and said.
“Until yesterday you all looked like walking corpses, but today you’re overflowing with vitality?”
“It’s all… But what should we call you?”
“Just call me Young Master.”
“Understood. It’s all thanks to you, Young Master.”
“How is it my doing? It’s thanks to the Castle Lord.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, the Seungwisa’s laughter deepened.
Was it some kind of shared sense of loyalty toward the Heavenly Martial Emperor?
“Well then, shall we start today’s training?”
“Yes!”
“Put on the armor over there.”
Armor?
Looking down, there really was armor there.
Why didn’t I notice this earlier?
As they tried to put on the armor as Jeok Wigang instructed.
“Ugh!”
The weight was considerable.
Ah, the morning must be for physical conditioning.
Thinking that, they struggled to put on the armor.
Click- Click-.
After putting it on, something like shackles were attached to their arms and legs, making movement extremely difficult.
“From today on, you’ll live wearing that.”
“What?”
“We don’t just wear it during training?”
He shook his head.
“You must wear it until I say you can take it off. You also cannot use internal energy until I give permission. If you use internal energy without my permission, there will be great pain.”
It meant they had to move using only pure physical strength without internal energy.
“Now then, shall we start the morning training? Each of you pick up a weapon.”
The Seungwisa struggled to reach where the weapons were.
As they stood holding their weapons, suddenly one of them had a seizure.
“Uggggggh!”
He foamed at the mouth, rolled his eyes back, and fainted on the spot.
“I told you. You mustn’t use internal energy.”
Jeok Wigang approached and placed his hand on the body of the Seungwisa who had fainted while standing, muttering an incantation.
Then the Seungwisa opened his eyes and spoke with a terror-stricken face.
“Wh-what was that just now?”
“I set it so that lightning energy would envelop your body if you used internal energy.”
Lightning energy is the most terrifying energy in the world.
The Seungwisa had just confirmed what those words meant.
It was truly frightening.
The feeling of every muscle in his body being squeezed.
He never wanted to experience it again.
“If any of you others are curious, try using internal energy.”
Everyone shook their heads.
“Now, pay attention.”
Everyone held their weapons and looked at Jeok Wigang.
Now he’ll tell us to swing our weapons and take proper stances, right?
They thought this and prepared to swing, but.
“Attack me.”
“Pardon?”
The Seungwisa looked at Jeok Wigang with expressions that showed they didn’t understand.
“Attack me with those weapons.”
“Not just swing them around?”
“What use is swinging at empty air?”
“To correct our posture and…”
“Posture correction? When an enemy attacks irregularly, will you attack with that posture?”
They had nothing to say.
“The best training is real combat. Experience must accumulate so you can handle variables accordingly. Don’t you think?”
“That’s correct.”
“Then attack me.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, the Seungwisa began to move.
“Ugh!”
Since their bodies wouldn’t move as they wished, they became frustrated and unknowingly got angry.
They were also irritated thinking their stamina had become this weak.
But that wasn’t the problem.
Jeok Wigang had started moving.
Thwack-.
“Guhk!”
He began attacking the Seungwisa who couldn’t even move properly.
The Seungwisa expressed their complaints.
“Y-Young Master! This is unfair!”
Jeok Wigang stopped moving and asked.
“What is?”
“It’s unfair that Young Master isn’t wearing anything while doing this!”
“I’m wearing something too.”
When Jeok Wigang lifted his clothes, training armor was visible underneath.
“Want to try it on?”
The moment Jeok Wigang took it off and threw it on the ground.
Thud-.
The training armor sank about halfway into the ground.
Just how heavy was it for the training armor to sink into the ground?
One person, curious, approached and tried to lift the training armor.
“Ugh!”
No matter how hard he tried, it wouldn’t lift.
“Aaaaagh!”
Then he accidentally used internal energy and was electrocuted by lightning energy, fainting.
After waking up the fainted Seungwisa again, Jeok Wigang began putting on the training armor.
It was as natural as putting on flowing cloth garments.
The Seungwisa realized.
Jeok Wigang was someone who couldn’t be measured by their standards.
Could he perhaps be a successor that the Castle Lord had hidden away?
They even had such thoughts.
Because that would make sense.
If someone was given the Heavenly Martial Medallion and entrusted with secret missions, wouldn’t they be a successor?
“What are you thinking so hard about? Now, let’s start again.”
“Ah…”
There’s no justification to stop now.
They have no choice but to endure Jeok Wigang’s attacks.
The Seungwisa looked at each other and nodded, then began charging toward Jeok Wigang with determined expressions.
“Fine! Let’s die trying!”
One week later.
The Seungwisa had now reached the point where they could move freely even while wearing the armor.
Jeok Wigang smiled and said.
“Well done. You can take off the armor now.”
He helped the Seungwisa remove their armor.
With the heavy armor removed, they felt liberated and as if their bodies might float away.
“Now, shall we see one last time?”
Jeok Wigang smiled and beckoned with his finger.
The Seungwisa also stood before Jeok Wigang with determined expressions.
Then they all simultaneously amplified their internal power and charged toward Jeok Wigang.
“Aaaaah!”
He moved his body with a pleased smile at the sight of the Seungwisa charging while screaming.
Whoosh- Swish-.
Sharp attacks from the Seungwisa continued relentlessly around Jeok Wigang, and their power was completely different from before.
Moreover, their attacks weren’t recklessly charging forward like before, but they observed the situation and moved accordingly.
They had definitely changed.
Nevertheless, there was one thing that remained unchanged. That was.
“Argh! Get hit! Get hit!”
“Grr!”
No matter how much they attacked, they couldn’t land a hit on Jeok Wigang.
Even though they attacked with all their might, they still couldn’t touch him, which was frustrating.
“Huff huff huff!”
Just how high a level was he at? How great was the gap between them that there could be such a difference?
They had never even seen Jeok Wigang use martial techniques.
Jeok Wigang’s movements consisted entirely of simply throwing punches or kicks.
This was only possible with an overwhelming difference in skill level.
Considering that the current Seungwisa were at Super Peak Level, Jeok Wigang’s level must be at least Transcendent Level or higher.
To reach Transcendent Level at such a young age.
They felt respect.
And they became more certain.
That Jeok Wigang was the next successor of Heavenly Martial City.
The Seungwisa looked at each other and smiled.
They were being personally trained and even sparred with by the next Castle Lord.
This would be a story to tell until they died.
The Seungwisa’s expressions became serious.
‘We can’t disappoint the next Castle Lord.’
They planned to mobilize everything they had to satisfy Jeok Wigang.
Jeok Wigang grinned, sensing the change in the Seungwisa’s energy.
He instinctively knew they were preparing their final attack.
He should definitely repay them properly, right?
Jeok Wigang clenched his fist and threw it toward the charging Seungwisa.
Kupapapapak-.
Powerful fist wind blew away the charging Seungwisa in one strike.
They tried to withstand the fist wind, but it was useless.
Just throwing a punch produced this much power.
The Seungwisa wondered just how powerful it would be if Jeok Wigang unleashed proper martial arts, as they were blown away by the fist wind and tumbled to the ground.
Whiiing-.
The powerful fist wind passed, and Jeok Wigang’s satisfied voice was heard.
“Good work. Continue to train diligently without slacking off.”
The Seungwisa who had fallen to the ground staggered to their feet, gave a cupped fist salute, and bowed.
“Understood. Thank you.”
“Um, Young Master.”
“Yes?”
“Could you give us this armor?”
“You want to train more with it?”
“Yes.”
“Then I’ll give you heavier ones. That way it’ll be proper training.”
“Thank you.”
There was one reason they wanted the training armor.
The effects were definite.
Now, there was one thing left.
Normalizing the Seven Star Ascension Tower.
To do that, they first needed to bring many challengers.
“Many people will come soon, so please prepare to welcome them.”
“Understood.”
Abyss Star Training Hell.
A place that trains practitioners to their absolute limits.
While the effects were certain, it was equally notorious for its infamy.
In the past, many trainees volunteered for this place, willing to risk death to become stronger, but now that advancement was possible anytime with money, not many people took on the challenge.
Even those who did challenge it couldn’t endure for long and left, so the Abyss Star Training Hell was always quiet.
To such a place, not just one person but a full five people appeared.
They were Hwang Jin Hyeok, Gam Taeseong, Hwang Gyeryun, Bang Cheonho, and Woo Seokin, sent by Jeok Wigang.
The Training Master in charge of the place was amazed to see trainees gathering after such a long time.
“Huh. Not just one, but five people came. Did the sun rise from the west today?”
“Is this place usually this quiet?”
“It used to be bustling in the old days. The problem is that kids these days lack spirit and don’t want to do anything difficult.”
“But we’re also kids these days.”
“You guys are different. Are you going in?”
