Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 75
He smiled at the people looking at him and said.
“Of course. I’ll come back again, so don’t worry.”
“Then that’s settled. I’ll work harder in the meantime and climb to higher places.”
“I’m looking forward to it. You know what happens if you don’t meet my expectations, right?”
“Ah, I know.”
Jeok Wigang chuckled as he watched the people flinch.
“Keep training.”
“You’re leaving already?”
“Not yet. I want to give you all some gifts before I go.”
“Gifts? What gifts? I’ve already received an incredible gift. You don’t need to give me anything.”
“Same for us.”
When the people declined saying it was fine, Jeok Wigang smiled and said.
“I want to give them to you. Keep training well. I’ll come again tomorrow.”
“Alright. Got it.”
Since it would be rude to keep refusing when he wanted to give them something, everyone nodded their heads.
“Then see you tomorrow.”
He waved his hand to the people and turned his steps toward Heavenly Craft Road.
When he arrived at Heavenly Craft Road, Cheonjang Gong came running out happily.
“You’re here already?”
“Yes, Grandfather.”
Geum Hwangryeok’s mouth stretched from ear to ear upon hearing Jeok Wigang call him grandfather.
He was the one whom the greatest person of all time called grandfather.
What could be more joyful than this?
“What about Yeom Hwa?”
Geum Hwangryeok’s expression brightened even more at the mention of Yeom Hwa.
“That guy is truly amazing. He plays with fire so well, and when I teach him one thing, he learns ten. I can’t keep up with how fast he learns. Hahaha!”
“It seems you’re quite pleased with your disciple.”
“Pleased indeed. That guy was born to be a blacksmith. He’s more talented than me.”
“I think so too.”
“What? You brat. Couldn’t you at least say I’m better, even if it’s just empty words?”
“It’s the truth. You know it better than anyone, Grandfather.”
“Hmm. That is true, but… you’re too direct.”
“Isn’t that my charm?”
“Has all your charm frozen to death?”
He grumbled and then asked Jeok Wigang.
“But what brings you here at this hour instead of being at Museong Pavilion? Do you need something?”
“I’ve finished organizing Museong Pavilion.”
“Already? You haven’t been there that long, have you?”
“I was there for about four months?”
“You normalized Museong Pavilion in just four months?”
Jeok Wigang smiled broadly.
“It’s really true… Well, thanks to you, Cheonhwa Forge here has also started running properly again.”
“How is it? Working as a leader? Is it manageable?”
“It’s a headache. I just want to hammer iron all day long. But they won’t leave me alone. There are so many damn documents, I feel nauseous just looking at paper now.”
He stuck out his tongue as if fed up and shook his head back and forth.
“I want to make some weapons.”
“Really? I’ll lend you my forge. If you want to add any materials, take whatever you want from my warehouse and use them freely.”
“Then I won’t be modest and will borrow some.”
“When someone more skilled than me wants to use it, my forge will be happy too. Don’t feel burdened and use it to your heart’s content. Anyway, I have to go put my seal on those damn documents again.”
“Have a safe trip.”
“Alright.”
He chuckled at the sight of Geum Hwangryeok reluctantly lifting his feet, clearly not wanting to go.
Just then, he heard Yeom Hwa’s voice from behind.
“Lord?”
“Yeom Hwa, have you been well?”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Yeom Hwa immediately prostrated himself and greeted him.
“Sir! Yeom Hwa greets his Lord!”
“Get up.”
“Yes!”
“Have you improved your skills during this time?”
“I’m still lacking.”
“Shall we check?”
“Pardon?”
“Follow me out.”
“R-right now?”
“Why not?”
“No, sir.”
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Yeom Hwa, who had firmly established his position as the noble young master of Heavenly Craft Road for several months as Cheonjang Gong’s disciple.
Now he was no longer the naive Yeom Hwa of the past.
He was the second-in-command of Cheonhwa Forge who could bend many people with just his gaze.
But in front of Jeok Wigang, he could never do such a thing.
He could only bow his head deeply and follow behind, hoping to get through safely.
Jeok Wigang, having confirmed Yeom Hwa’s skills, smiled with satisfaction.
“You’ve definitely improved by leaps and bounds.”
“It’s all possible thanks to the excellent teachings of Master Tae and Master Chu.”
How much effort he had put in to not disappoint Jeok Wigang was evident in Yeom Hwa’s movements.
“Now you can train well on your own, right?”
“On my own? Where are you going?”
“Yeah. I need to go take the civil service examination now.”
“Ah…”
He had forgotten.
Jeok Wigang was a scholar.
Even thinking about it again, it was unbelievable.
To be so strong yet be a scholar.
“Are you coming back after taking the examination?”
“I don’t know. If I pass, I might become an official.”
“What? You’ll become what?”
“Why are you so surprised? I said I might become an official.”
Yeom Hwa looked at Jeok Wigang with a shocked expression.
An official.
To possess the greatest power in history yet become an official.
Wasn’t this exactly when you’d use the phrase about a tiger eating grass?
“Wh-what would you do as an official?”
“I don’t know. I’ll know once I become one. I’ve never done it before, so how would I know?”
“Th-that’s true, isn’t it?”
“Why? Don’t I suit being an official?”
“No.”
At Yeom Hwa’s straightforward answer, Jeok Wigang chuckled.
He understood Geum Hwangryeok’s feelings a little.
“I don’t plan to do it for long. It’s just curiosity. What would being an official be like? What kind of place is the Imperial Palace? That kind of curiosity.”
“I see. Then well, it won’t take long.”
“What?”
“How long would a tiger stay in a place where rabbits are gathered? I think you’d get bored quickly and come out.”
“I hope I come out right away too.”
At his expression that seemed to have some reason behind it, Yeom Hwa decided not to ask further.
“Since it’s something Lord is doing, there must be some reason for it.”
Chuckle-.
“Right. There’s a reason for everything. I’ll tell you later, so just focus on getting stronger quickly.”
“Yes!”
“Here, this.”
Yeom Hwa carefully received the leather pouch that Jeok Wigang held out, looking at him with an expression asking what it was.
“It’s an elixir infused with the energy of fire. Take it when the moon is full and practice qi circulation and breathing. You must take it when the yin energy is strongest so it can harmonize with this elixir’s strong yang energy to further amplify your energy. At that time, you must concentrate and absorb as much of that amplified energy as possible.”
Yeom Hwa received the elixir with a moved expression.
“Yes! Lord! I will definitely repay Lord’s grace in thinking of me this way by becoming stronger!”
“Right. Do that. That’s the right way to repay the favor.”
“Loyalty!”
“Good. Then shall I do my work now?”
“Ah! You said you were making a weapon, right? I’ll help you.”
“Isn’t it time for training?”
“Ah! Already time is…”
“It’s fine. I’m more comfortable alone, so go train hard.”
“Yes! Lord.”
The next day.
Hwang Jin Hyeok opened the wooden box that Jeok Wigang had given him and made a surprised expression.
“What is this?”
“Can’t you tell by looking? They’re gauntlets.”
“I know that too. That they’re gauntlets…”
“If you know, why are you asking?”
“No… These don’t seem like ordinary gauntlets, so I’m asking.”
“I just made them roughly.”
“You made them roughly? You made these?”
“Yeah.”
“Huh…”
As he looked at the gauntlets with a surprised expression, Cheon Yahwang inside Hwang Jin Hyeok was in an uproar.
– Qu-quickly put them on! Those gauntlets are ca-calling to me.
“Hey hey, stay still for a moment. I’m being moved by my friend’s gift right now.”
– Hurry! Hurry and put them on! I want to feel them.
Hwang Jin Hyeok looked at Jeok Wigang and said.
“What on earth did you make? Cheon Yahwang is going crazy?”
Jeok Wigang chuckled and said.
“Try wearing it. I want to see how it works too.”
“Should I?”
As Hwang Jin Hyeok carefully put on the gauntlets.
Kuooooo-.
A whirlwind of energy began swirling wildly.
– Kukukuku! Ohhh! This power! This is my complete power that I once possessed!
Cheon Yahwang began jumping around with joy.
– Kahahaha! Foolish human! You have made a grave mistake!
Hwang Jin Hyeok panicked.
“Wi, Wigang. The beast is going wild?”
“You need to control it.”
“Me? This kind of strong power?”
“If you can’t, you’ll be devoured.”
“Eek! Got it!”
Hwang Jin Hyeok closed his eyes and began concentrating on the power of the gauntlets.
– Kahahaha! Too late! Human! I’ll show you! The true power of me, Cheon Yahwang!
Hwang Jin Hyeok concentrated again and again to grasp the rampaging energy of Cheon Yahwang.
That’s when it happened.
A bright light spread from the gauntlets and enveloped Hwang Jin Hyeok.
A warm feeling.
Hwang Jin Hyeok accepted that feeling as it was.
Then he heard Cheon Yahwang’s panicked voice.
– Wha, what? My, my power! No, no!
Hwang Jin Hyeok could feel it.
That he could now use Cheon Yahwang’s energy completely according to his own will.
Hwang Jin Hyeok opened his eyes wide and charged toward Jeok Wigang with a grin.
The other people were startled by this.
Suddenly charging at Jeok Wigang.
Had he been consumed by Cheon Yahwang’s energy?
Then Hwang Jin Hyeok’s voice was heard.
“Wolf Fang Breaking Heaven!”
Kueoong-.
As he overlapped both hands and thrust them toward Jeok Wigang, the form of a giant beast shot out rapidly.
Jeok Wigang lightly knocked it away with his fist.
Above such Jeok Wigang’s head, Hwang Jin Hyeok’s sharp claws were rapidly slashing down.
Kagagagagak-!
Claw marks were deeply carved into the ground.
“Lion Full Moon Slash!”
Hwang Jin Hyeok began wildly scattering claw Gang Qi like a net toward where Jeok Wigang had dodged.
A giant net made of Gang Qi directly covered Jeok Wigang.
Kwakwakwakwang-.
The people watching this unconsciously swallowed their saliva.
This wasn’t the strength of Hwang Jin Hyeok they usually knew.
Hwang Jin Hyeok glared at the thick dust.
That’s when it happened.
Tok tok-.
Feeling someone tapping him from behind, he turned his head to see Jeok Wigang standing there with a smile.
“The performance is solid. I’ve confirmed it, so stop now.”
“Grrrr!”
He seemed excited from being too thrilled.
Paak-.
Thud-.
Hwang Jin Hyeok, who was baring his teeth, fainted from one punch by Jeok Wigang.
The surrounding people made expressions like ‘of course’.
After that, Jeok Wigang distributed weapons suited to each person’s energy to the people.
Those who received weapons were moved.
“Ca, can I really receive something this good?”
“Yeah. It’s nothing special. You can take it.”
This is nothing special?
I’d probably lose sleep worrying about people targeting this.
“Why? Worried about people targeting it?”
“Yes. That’s right. Where would you find people who wouldn’t covet such good weapons? I’m done sleeping from now on.”
“Then that’s even better. No, actually, I should spread rumors. That there are incredible treasures here.”
“What?”
“You must protect them until I come back next time. If they’re gone… I’ll leave it to your imagination.”
“I, I would rather not…”
“Are you refusing something I put my heart into making right now?”
When did he say it was nothing special.
“N-no, sir.”
“To survive while protecting those, you’ll have to train hard. Right?”
In Jeok Wigang’s grinning face as he spoke, they saw a demon.
“Well then, let’s meet again alive later.”
It was ominous.
As if he was implying they would be dead.
They gritted their teeth.
They would definitely survive and show that they were worthy owners of these gifts.
Seeing their burning gazes, Jeok Wigang smiled with satisfaction.
He should have Milyeong spread rumors that those guys have incredible famous swords.
Hopefully many would get greedy and rush at them.
Then they would naturally gain real combat experience and train desperately to protect what was theirs.
