Episode 258 Successor of the Shingeombaekga (10)
After it became known that all the talented people who entered the disaster-level dungeon had gathered to kill Baek Woo-jin, a video of the dungeon revealed by Baek Woo-jin was uploaded to the Internet.
People were surprised that so many people were mobilized to kill one person, Baek Woo-jin, but they were more than surprised and horrified that Baek Woo-jin came back alive alone.
-More than 100 advanced talents couldn’t beat even one Baek Woo-jin? There was even a lieutenant with Baek Seong-hyeon? Isn’t that all bullshit?
-The video is ㄹㅇ. The dungeon video expert there said there was no evidence of manipulation.
-So, that means Baek Woo-jin wiped out Gongwi and the Chamryongdae Titan guild and even dealt with the Orc Lord who killed Baek Seong-hyeon! Does that make sense!
-But why are orcs so strong? It’s all just a surprise.
-They say black orcs are orcs, but they are completely different from orcs. But Baek Seong-hyun was left behind in an ugly way. Is it true that he abandoned his younger brother and ran away only to be counterattacked? lol.
-Looking at the fact that the video was skipped in the middle, it seems like Baek Woo-jin has gained new strength. It seems like they skipped it so as not to show it.
-I think so. Considering that he captured the Orc Lord who overwhelmed Baek Seong-hyeon, he must have gained new abilities.
-How do you become stronger every time you see it? Is there growth among the characteristics?
As people were amazed by the dungeon video, a second video began to be uploaded.
When a video of Baek Woo-jin and Cheonmu Lord Peng Ji-hu competing with similar forces was released, the whole world was shaken like a sailboat hit by a wave.
– Baek Woo-jin is on par with Peng Ji-hu? Peng Jihu is a martial artist whose name is listed as absolute! What is this!
-Wow, what did I just see? Even the Black Orcs will forget that Baek Woo-jin came back alive alone.
-Does it make sense to be 20 years old, the same age as Lord Cheonmu?
-Now Baek Woo-jin is no longer a reviewer. It is not enough to say that he is a master of a very large guild.
-The scene where they laugh at Peng Jihu’s strength is so cool no matter how many times I see it. Big! It’s a picture. painting!
-Is that really that stupid Baek Woo-jin? The real Baek Woo-jin is a legend. My heart feels majestic…
– Baek Woo-jin has never been a dick?
-I want to see the two of them hit it off. Who will win?
There are many talented people who have risen to the rank of experts at a young age, but their growth stagnates before they all reach the level of absolute masters.
Therefore, there was almost no change in the list of warriors at absolute self-sufficiency or just below it.
Because he was the same person I saw every day, it became less interesting to discuss force.
However, as a new divinity appeared on the stage of the superhumans, everyone’s attention was bound to be focused.
-Then, is Baek Woo-jin on the same level as Lord Cheonmu?
-Definitely not the same level. We have just become absolutely self-sufficient. No, I’m not even sure if it’s absolutely self-sufficient.
-You don’t know that. Since our level is similar, I don’t think we’ll know what will happen if we fight.
-hit. Baek Woo-jin is familiar with various types of swordsmanship, so the swordsmanship he uses varies depending on the opponent. In an actual fight, it might actually be advantageous.
-You’re over the line. Does the leader of China’s three major guilds, the Cheonmu Alliance, look like water? Since the Yeonghu guild is in charge of magic and magic, Peng Jihu is actually the top two in China.
-So, Baek Woo-jin beat that top fighter, Paeng Ji-hoo. Can’t you see that flashing lightning bolt?
-There is no answer for those who suck at Baek Woo-jin.
-It’s better to suck at Baek Woo-jin than to suck at Pang Ji-hu.
-I want to be Baek Woo-jin just for one day… But Baek Woo-jin won.
-Just for one day. You go somewhere else and have fun.
Baek Woo-jin’s spirit and performance were so surprising that the number of people who thought he was on the same level as Peng Ji-hu and ascended to the rank of absolute power began to increase.
**
As soon as Baek Woo-jin returned to his family, he went into his room and started practicing. After finishing one deep exercise, I opened my eyes.
“Whew…”
After taking the elixir and completing the exercise, more than half of the aura I had consumed was recovered.
“I think you will recover on your own now.”
Since my aura had built up considerably, it seemed like it would recover on its own even without practicing.
-Your abilities and items are all at morale level, right…
Baek Woo-jin had a recovery power that was ten times faster than that of an ordinary person through his items and characteristics.
In addition, as the level of Auror training increased, the recovery became faster. In terms of resilience, it was even superior to the Absolutes.
-Are you going to make a complete recovery and go to your father?
“That’s right.”
-Well, you probably don’t want to appear weak.
“There is that, but I need to check a few things.”
Baek Woo-jin scratched his neck. Even if you trap your father, you will eventually have to fight one on one. In order to prepare, proper confirmation was necessary.
“I want to ask you something.”
-What do you want to ask?
“Tell me honestly. If Lord Cheonmu and I had a competition in front of the dungeon, who do you think would win?
-Both of them are in perfect condition, right?
“of course.”
-Hmm….
The darkness was swimming in the air, taking a bite, then slowly coming down in front of Baek Woo-jin’s eyes.
-If you use all combat characteristics from the beginning and activate the ink lightning, you can fight almost like a whistle. It may be a little bit pushed back, though.
“Really?”
-If you survive the first fight, study his martial arts thoroughly, and fight him a second time, you can fight him completely as a whistle.
“Anyway, it means I can fight on equal footing with Lord Cheonmu.”
-okay. If you pour out everything and use Cheonpok at the end, Donggui Jindo will be possible.
“I have no intention of dying like that person.”
Baek Woo-jin answered in a calm voice, but he was so excited that he couldn’t keep his fingers still.
“It’s a whistle….”
He is not an idiot, he is the Lord of Cheonmu, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the strongest in China.
When I heard that in China you can fight with a two-fingered martial arts weapon using a whistle, my heart pounded as if it was going to explode.
-Of course, only as long as the ink-rei is maintained. You know that it can’t last long because it uses up a lot of aura, right?
“I know.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded. Ink-roe provides destructive power, explosive speed, and unbreakable fighting spirit, but it consumes so much auror and stamina that recovery is useless.
Even with vast auras and endless stamina like the Great Sea, it was difficult to last long.
“What happens if you use spirits?”
-There is no way a clumsy attack would work on a person like that, so among the spirits, only Ignis’ attack would work properly.
“The other guys might be able to interfere as well.”
-That’s true, but it would be difficult to properly handle the spirits while fighting someone as strong as the Lord of Heavenly Arms. Still, the win rate will go up considerably.
“Hmm…”
What Darkness said was right. It is almost impossible to control four spirits at the same time and fight the Lord of Heavenly Arms.
“Then you are saying that it is impossible to defeat your father, not the Lord of Heavenly Arms.”
-Your father is walking half a step to one step ahead of Lord Cheonmu. No matter what you do now, it is impossible to win.
“What kind of training should I do from now on to overcome my father? Should I look for another opportunity?”
-It would be nice, but your characteristics and abilities are sufficient for now. From now on, we have to go back to basics.
“Are you talking about basic swordsmanship?”
-This refers to the techniques of the sword to be used in swordsmanship.
“Ah…”
Baek Woo-jin understood the meaning of the darkness’s words and his eyes lit up.
-Even though they are not as strong as you, warriors who are called strong are looking for stronger martial arts and better weapons and equipment elixirs. Of course, if you get them, you will become stronger. But if you want to go higher, you must return to the original when you realize your strength.
Heukam used his own blade to explain basic sword techniques and techniques.
– Make sure you master the techniques of swordsmanship you are learning. After that, it will open on its own.
“I know what you mean.”
I have not yet fully mastered the techniques of various swords, including the Black King Bullet. This means that it is not too late to master your own things first and then look for something else.
-I thought there would be a backlash.
I thought he would get upset if I told him to master the basics, but he accepted what I said very gently.
“Because I know you don’t give a crap when it comes to martial arts.”
The darkness and power surpassed even my father. Following his words was the shortcut to becoming stronger.
-Big, big!
Darkness slightly twisted its blade as if it were embarrassed. I always felt this, but Baek Woo-jin’s personality was unpredictable.
“How long will it take to defeat my father?”
-If you think about increasing the quantity and quality of Aurors and combining the techniques of swordsmanship you have learned… After
pondering with the darkness floating around, he opened his mouth after a minute.
-3 years. I promise you 3 years. In three years, you will be able to compete with your father on a whistle-stop basis.
It was believed that Baek Woo-jin could catch up with Baek Chun-hwa within three years if he combined his efforts and talent.
-As you probably know best, it’s a pretty tight grip.
Baek Cheon-hwa is a person with abilities that can be called the strongest in this world. Catching up with him within three years was possible because Baek Woo-jin had both luck and hard work.
“Three years…”
Baek Woo-jin muttered the words “three years.” It was a short time, but considering the changing world and the Marutun Continent, it was not that short.
-But that’s not important. How are you going to fight Baek Chun-hwa? You also have to fight over your family name.
If you want to fight Baek Chun-hwa, you first have to put him in the ring. It wasn’t easy. It was not possible to inherit a family by fighting randomly.
-Besides, your father is keeping you in check.
“So I have to use the information about me recognized by my father.”
-information?
“What do you think my father thinks of me?”
-You’ll think I’m a cheap, dirty guy.
“Well, that’s true, but…”
Baek Woo-jin continued with an uneasy expression.
“If I were to put it mildly, you would probably think of me as someone who pursues useless cooperation.”
-okay.
“However, I don’t think you will be blindly pursuing cooperation. “You may have seen me taking revenge fiercely or making sure to take care of my share.”
-You showed that side a lot.
“In addition, you may have seen the pursuit of force, so you have to use those images.”
-Use it?
“okay. “A trap is created and waited for the prey to be caught.”
So that he wouldn’t think it was a trap, he had to make his father think there was a way he could take advantage of him.
“And three years is too long.”
-huh?
“My father will probably give me the title of successor at the end of this year or early next year.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned.
“Let’s make it just one year.”
**
Baek Woo-jin completely recovered his stamina and aura and went to Gajujeon.
“You’re late. “The matriarch has been waiting.”
Kim Jaehwan bowed his head and opened the door to Gajujeon.
“You didn’t even call me?”
“I thought he would come on his own.”
“Anyway…”
Baek Woo-jin entered the family hall through the open door with a somber expression on his face.
Baek Cheon-hwa’s face appeared. His eyes seemed as hard as a rock, but had the slightest tremor.
“See you, matriarch.”
“Greetings have been made.”
When Baek Woo-jin pretended not to know anything and bowed, Baek Cheon-hwa waved his hand.
“How did Seonghyeon die?”
“….”
Baek Woo-jin heard Baek Cheon-hwa’s question and realized what he was really curious about.
‘As expected.’
Baek Cheon-hwa was not interested in Baek Seong-hyeon’s death. It was clear that Baek Seong-hyeon was curious about what information he had unlocked.
“My brother ran away from me and encountered the Orc Lord who appeared from behind. “He died on the spot while fighting that monster.”
Because Baek Woo-jin understood Baek Cheon-hwa’s question, he gave the answer he wanted to hear.
“I didn’t expect your brother to be so prepared.”
Baek Woo-jin did not make any facial expression, contrary to his inner thoughts. I knew that Baek Cheon-hwa was involved through Baek Seong-hyeon’s testimony, and there was a video of it, but I pretended not to know.
“It doesn’t matter. As the head of the family said, wasn’t Baek Sung-hyeon using the connections he had made himself?”
“her!”
Baek Cheon-hwa burst out laughing as if it was absurd. I didn’t expect Baek Woo-jin to say something like that.
“It’s easy to talk to you because you understand so much.”
“As a prosecutor of the Baek family, it’s just a natural thought.”
“Hmm…”
Baek Cheon-hwa looked into Baek Woo-jin’s eyes and felt that her youngest son’s attitude had changed. The momentum and presence were the same, but there was a clear difference.
“If you look at the video, there were some survivors, but you didn’t save them?”
“I pursue my own interests, but I am not a pushover. “They came after me, so I killed them all horribly.”
“That word still annoys me, but I like your firm attitude.”
A small smile appeared on Baek Cheon-hwa’s lips at Baek Woo-jin’s firm words.
“Anyway, you passed the test I gave you. “I will have to hand over the position of successor as promised.”
“thank you.”
“I will officially nominate you as successor on January 1st of next year, when you turn 21.”
“Aren’t you giving it to me right now?”
Baek Woo-jin was reading all of Baek Cheon-hwa’s thoughts, but he asked back with an expression full of regret.
“It is an event to hand down the succession to the Great Shingeombaek family. January 1st. “It will be held in front of everyone in the world.”
“Uhm, I understand.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded, but frowned slightly.
“Why are you doing that? “Is there something urgent?”
“There’s something my brother said when he entered the dungeon.”
“What did you say? “What is that?”
Baek Tian-hwa opened his eyes and leaned forward.
“I said that if I become the heir, I can make a wish to the head of the family, and with that wish I will enter the Heavenly Sword Library. “I would like to get that opportunity too.”
“Heavenly Sword Library?”
Baek Tian-hwa sank back into the chair and curled up the corners of his mouth.
‘So that’s why.’
The moment the word wish came out of Baek Woo-jin’s mouth, he was nervous, but he could have let him in if it was Cheongeom Library.
‘I’m sorry, but the item you are looking for is not there.’
The truly important treasures in the Heavenly Sword Library had been stolen in advance.
“There are items in the Heavenly Sword Archive that can be considered national treasures, but your strength is second to none, regardless of age. “Why do you suddenly want the Heavenly Sword Library?”
“It is true that I have become stronger, but my enemies have also become stronger. “Lord Cheonmu is directly aiming for my head, Lord Daeyeonmun is also looking for an opportunity, and even Zeno’s Kim Nam-gil is said to be alive.”
Baek Woo-jin continued speaking with a serious expression.
“In order not to be defeated not only by myself but also by others, I want to develop the strength to not be defeated by them.”
“Hmm…”
“When I competed with Lord Cheonmu, I looked equal on the outside, but inside I wanted to collapse. “It’s still too much.”
Since Baek Cheon-hwa did not know the power of Muk-rei, Baek Woo-jin openly lied and showed a desperate look for power.
“You could just use the same force you used when you killed Kim Nam-gil?”
“It was a one-off thing.”
“disposable?”
“yes. It was a power that could only be used once using a legendary item. Because of that side effect, I couldn’t use my aurors for a while.”
Baek Woo-jin mixed lies and truth to make Baek Cheon-hwa suspicious.
“That’s definitely why.”
Baek Tianhwa nodded. At the time, I thought it was strange when I saw the video, but after hearing the facts, it all made sense.
“I understand what you’re thinking, but I have no intention of moving up the schedule.”
“…All right. Then, I will tell everyone about my wish to go to the Heavenly Sword Library. That would be better for the value of the family name.”
“good night. And I will contact the Cheonmu Alliance directly. “I’ll have to pay for messing with you.”
“thank you.”
“Go and see.”
Baek Woo-jin bowed his head deeply, then turned around and left for the family battle. His eyes glowed blue for a split second.
widely.
The door to the Gaju Hall closed and the Black Sword Master who was behind the pillar came forward.
“Are you okay?”
“I know what you’re worried about. But that guy has always sought power. And now there are a lot of things to keep in mind. It’s not strange. ”
Baek Woo-jin had the experience of almost losing his people to Noegeom. You probably want the power to protect others more than your own life.
“Woojin took care of things he needed to take care of, even though he kept trash like meetings in mind. Plus, I like how strong the hands are. “It would be better to use Woojin as bait for the Heavenly Sword Library.”
“Then…”
“It’s time to start the grand scheme. “Be prepared to bring Woojin and Jeon Soo-hwan together.”
Baek Cheon-hwa smiled and continued speaking.
“It’s time to break this damn balance.”
**
Baek Woo-jin has been training alone at a private training center for a month.
It was not for something great, but to increase concentration and master basic swordsmanship and swordsmanship techniques.
Starting from the first quick sword to the thirteenth sharp sword, I raised my proficiency in all sword techniques.
Because I only thought about the sword all day, the power and speed range of the sword increased.
It wasn’t a dramatic growth, but I was growing step by step along a straight path, so I was able to train happily without the slightest anxiety.
All of this is thanks to Heukam giving up a lot of the drama and giving sharp advice.
-You must know how good of a magic sword I am.
“It’s a little strange that the Demon Sword is said to be kind.”
-Can’t the Demon Sword be kind? That’s a stereotype. Do you think Shingeom will be nicer than me?
“So, when it’s all over, you’re going to show the full drama to the good demon swordsman? “It lets you watch different dramas on three screens.”
-Tsk, tsk, this is why the guy who doesn’t participate in cultural activities is…
“Huh?”
-Would that help you concentrate? Since ancient times, dramas can only be enjoyed if you are immersed in them. He’s like a caveman.
“Huh….”
Baek Woo-jin blurted out. I never thought that I would hear the sound of a caveman from a magic sword from a fantasy world.
“Your drama is sincere….”
“Master Do!”
As Baek Woo-jin tried to talk to Heuk-am again, the door to the training hall burst open and Moon Ju-young came running in.
“Two second!”
“Speak slowly.”
“Ugh…”
Moon Joo-young continued, pounding her chest.
“It is said that the second young lady went into the demon’s stronghold and went missing!”
