Chapter 205
How stunned have you been?
The body was light as a feather and the mind was clear. I think I fell asleep for a short time, but in the meantime, the world had changed a lot.
‘what?’
Simple furnishings and a few ornaments. Inside the newly built room, there was a faint smell of wood.
A familiar sight. But it’s stranger than ever.
‘This… … ‘
I looked around with trembling eyes.
The atmosphere was full of energy, and it was bright everywhere, as if someone had put night vision goggles in my eyes.
The moon seen through the lattice window feels strange.
It’s so bright, why is that moon floating? Actually, maybe that’s the sun.
As if possessed by a ghost, I thought for a long time in a daze, and then I realized.
“Ah.” This world, Moorim, was as it was in my memory. What has changed is nothing but myself.
Unbeknownst to me, a small voice leaked out.
“Imdok Yangmaek ……” When the blocked tunnel is opened, light pours out.
If you are used to the darkness in the tunnel, the light will inevitably feel unfamiliar. That’s me right now.
After removing the huge obstacle called Dok-yang Lim, I finally saw a light I had never known before.
“Are you awake?”
The owner of the sudden voice stood leaning in front of the door. In a room without a lamplight, the age spots and wrinkles on his face were clearly visible.
“Noya.”
Hwawang Jeokcheongang replied as if he had been waiting.
OK.”
“You are very old.”
He added a word to the momentary speechless man.
“And you are strong. More than anyone I’ve ever seen.”
This is not a follow-up to what I said earlier or simple flattery, but 100% pure sincerity.
Now that Im Dok Yang Mac was broken, I was able to get a glimpse of the terrifying martial arts hidden in that petite body.
“Chehehe. It sounds obvious.”
Jeokcheongang cleared his throat as if embarrassed, and turned around.
“So, how are you feeling?”
“It’s the best.”
There was no need to read the system message, and there was no reason to look at the body. Because she felt it the moment she opened her eyes.
The corner of his mouth twitched at my hesitant answer.
“Of course it should. How much the old woman suffered… … No, it was handled very easily, but it’s not something anyone can do. cancer.”
“Gee, it’s real!”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Isn’t the expression disrespectful! The expression!”
That’s because your intentions are obvious.
Compared to martial arts whose end cannot be guessed, his personality is clearly revealed.
Violent and eccentric, but surprisingly easy to get to know, Jeokcheongang was such an image to me.
“Because I have blepharoptosis, I am often misunderstood.”
When the steel plate is placed on the face and pulled off, Jeokcheon-gang roars with excitement.
“Why are all these guys like this? Doesn’t this guy named Soga-joo throw away his family’s important affairs and go in and out to see you?
“Wait. Dead, did anyone get seriously injured?”
“Who is it?”
Looking at Jeokcheongang’s meaningful gaze, I asked with a hopeless heart.
“Can you fold that?”
“okay. It’s been very upside down over the past seven days and nights. If I had known this uproar would happen, I would have put it under a rock until I came to my senses.”
I can’t even hear the back story. I blinked my eyes with a bewildered face.
“Did I pass out for seven days and nights?”
“It’s not like every day, it’s only seven days and nights. I thought Dalpo would be lying down, but as expected, Cheonmu’s body is good.”
“… … What kind of side effect is this, isn’t it?”
Look at what this guy is talking about.
Nobu worked so hard to penetrate Imdok, what did he say? side effect?”
“I heard you handled it very easily earlier.”
The hesitant Jeokcheongang shouted loudly.
“That is it! Even if you poop, you have to wipe the bottom, so you need time to adjust to your new body now that you have removed the tableware piled up inside your body!”
“……”
The metaphor is a little odd because I’m in a state of excitement, but I get what you mean.
‘A kind of optimization process, something like that?’
It’s funny how a person who was dying because he had pierced the Imdok Yang vein suddenly gets up. Even if you level up, you will pass out if mental fatigue accumulates.
Even so, it’s only a week.
“Then the meeting must be over.”
“Whether it was a meeting or a banquet, it already ended three days ago.”
Jeokchun-gang, who still looked sullen, continued.
“Did you say bad boy? He’s still there.”
I tilted my head at the unexpected name.
In the first place, Akbulgun, the leader of Cheonmuhakgwan, came to Jinga in Taewon to take Jinmoogyeong away.
Are you really going to wait until Jin Moo-gyeong closes?
“Why is there a great deal of evil?”
“Ask yourself.”
Hey, I did something wrong, so please stop being angry and tell me.”
Jeokcheongang replied bluntly.
“Does the old lady look that small? I am coming now, so listen to it yourself.”
“ah.”
Indeed, it was as it was said. Not long after, the two appeared with a chuckle.
“You are the youngest!”
After Jin Wi-gyeong, who was crying when he found me waking up after seven days and nights, a blunt voice came from behind.
“At the same time, there was also an enemy great force. I have something to tell you, are you okay?”
Jeokcheongang replied firmly.
“no. go away.”
“It is also an issue related to Jin So-hyeop’s course of action.”
“… … damn it.”
Jeokcheongang spat out a small curse and sat down on the chair.
Evil Buddha was not as good an eloquent as he seemed. After hearing all of his dry explanations, I opened my mouth.
“So you are inviting us. The castle, the castle… … “
What was it? The explanations are so boring that I have no idea what I heard.
Jeokcheongang spoke on behalf of me who was momentarily confused.
“Seongra Daeyeon (星羅大宴)
“Oh, that’s right. Seongra Daeyeon.”
“It’s a big event where Murim people from all over the world gather together to compete for supremacy and solidify solidarity. It is held every two or three years, but this Seongra Daeyeon will be held in Hanam.”
Jeokcheongang laughed at the explanation of Akbulgun.
“The unity of the world’s Murim is a place where only the powerful ones are proud of each other, lift each other up and build personal connections.”
Boso relentless stone fastball
Seeing the bad boy nodding his head without any rebuttal, it seems that he is not wrong.
Jeokcheongang continued to speak in a sharp tone.
“It was the same forty years ago. How long has it been since we drove out the Demonic Cult? It’s a fight over the right… … I saw a lot of things I couldn’t see.”
It seems that the situation is drawn in front of my eyes.
Troubled times are opportunities. Those who are greedy and powerful never miss an opportunity.
It may have something to do with the reason why Jeokcheongang came to live in Mt. Guhwa again.
‘Still, it seems that the scale is ridiculously large, doesn’t it?’
Jeokcheongang narrowed his forehead at my curious eyes.
“What are you looking at?”
“It’s nothing. I was wondering why a person who hates crowds and troublesome things went to such a place.”
“I received a request.”
“……?” Was Jeokcheongang the kind of person who would obediently listen to someone asking for it?
The question that I heard in the moment disappeared cleanly with one person’s nickname that followed.
“Wu God.”
”ah.”
He is a ignorant who has only been heard in words.
There were ten kings on earth, three stars in the sky, and finally a god above them.
Even Jeokcheongang would not have been able to refuse easily if it was the military god’s request.
“He was the one who made the Seongra Daeyeon and asked Nobu to attend. It was the first and last time that Ilshin, Samsung, and Ten Kings gathered together.”
At that time, as if recalling those days, Jeokcheongang, who was tapping the armrest of the chair with blurry eyes, suddenly stared at the evil Buddha.
“How is he?”
“You haven’t shown up for a long time already. Even bad rumors…
“Do you think the god of war would have died? haha. It’s only because there are so many guys with shit on their heads.’
“So, what do you think?”
“hmm.”
“Even though it is a party for the powerful, it cannot be denied that Seongra Daeyeon is a gathering of the world’s Murim people. Regardless of his background, he can fully develop his abilities.”
“well.”
I couldn’t answer easily and only scratched the back of my head.
Seongra Daeyeon. A place where Murim people from all over the world gather to solidify and compete for supremacy.
It is an opportunity to compete with outstanding players and to make a name for yourself throughout the midfield.
but… … .
‘Is it that important?’
Ever since I came to Moorim, I’ve had thoughts like that.
What do I learn martial arts for, why do I not stop training even though I am strong enough to protect my precious person and my life?
After thinking about it for a long time, I found the answer not too long ago.
‘Because it’s fun.’
Like I said to Cheongpung, I like martial arts. It is interesting.
Even if you grab an unimaginable amount of money and honor, you will not stop training.
Because I’m already addicted to martial arts. Because I realized how much fun and great pleasure it is to become strong.
“Jin Sohyup.”
The low voice of the Evil Buddha broke his thoughts. Now is the time to answer. I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.
“I am… … “
After hearing my answer, the three people’s expressions strangely changed.
Three people left. Left alone in the room, I remembered the last conversation I had with Jeokcheongang.
‘I want to be strong. Was that your answer?’
‘yes.’
‘Does that mean you’re going to the Seongra Grand Banquet?’
‘It doesn’t matter where. If only I could become stronger than now.’
‘You are still young and strong enough. If you go to the Seongra Grand Banquet, you will be able to engrave your name on the world and gain wealth and honor. Aren’t they coveted?’
‘I like it. unarmed. A higher level.’
“……!”
Jeokcheongang, who had been looking at me with trembling eyes for a long time, left without saying a word.
‘When the day comes, come to the old woman’s residence.’
I sat down on the bed, remembering his last words.
The field of vision was as bright as broad daylight, and the occasional footsteps and breaths of someone outside the hall were as vivid as if heard from the side.
‘Strong enough.’
This is what Jeokcheongang said before leaving. None other than the King of Fire, Jeokcheongang, acknowledged me.
But there was something else I wanted to hear.
‘Stronger than anyone else.’
When I was an F-rank Hunter, my wish was to become an E-rank Hunter. When I first set foot in Moorim, my goal was to surpass Hyuk Moo Jin.
As time passed, I became stronger and my dreams became grander.
Some might call this greed. But greed and dreams are different.
Now I have a dream. Hwawang Jeokcheongang is a guide who will help me move towards my dream.
‘I’m looking forward to the morning.’
The remaining time until dawn is approximately three o’clock.
I guess tonight is going to be a long night. Both me and Jeokcheongang.
‘Especially for me, it will be an unimaginably long night.’
I lay flat on the bed.
Now is the time to leave behind the many things that happened in Moorim and go back.
‘log out.’
belt ring.
My eyes slowly closed with a cheerful system notification.
