‘He devoted his life to martial arts.’
Ryu Zukang.
China’s proud six-star hunter.
‘I’ve never learned how to step back.’
China does not follow the world standard Hunter rating system, but uses its own unique rating system.
The more stars in front of the rank, the better the hunter, with a five-star hunter having five stars being the highest rank.
however.
Only one person.
Only Ryu Zhikang was classified as an out-of-rank hunter and was called a 6-star hunter.
Of course, the treatment was on a different level from that of the five-star hotels.
But no one could object that he was receiving exceptional treatment.
He had the ability to do that.
Because he was the true savior of the People’s Republic of China who firmly protected China during the great upheaval of chaos.
but.
‘… … So this time too, I won’t back down.’
Liu Zhikang was hiding a secret that no one in China, a country with a population of over 1 billion people, knew even after going through a great upheaval…
‘Do you think I, Ryu Zukang, will be eaten by the devil inside me?’
He had been fighting alone for over two years against the divinity of Itarim that came to him at the same time as his awakening.
So as not to get your mind eaten.
* * *
After awakening as a Hunter, it didn’t take long for Ryu Zukang to realize that the power he had been given was different from others.
Magic, a mysterious power that suddenly appears within the body.
I’ve heard that other hunters feel an incredible sense of elation when they awaken their magical powers.
But Ryu Zhikang was different.
‘… … It’s still not enough.’
The moment he gained magical powers, the sensation he felt was surprisingly ’emptiness’.
When a person becomes too hungry, he eventually stops feeling hungry.
But if someone suddenly puts a piece of bread in his mouth, his stomach, which had been starving, finally realizes the terrible hunger it had forgotten about.
‘I want power, I want power! A stronger power!’
And the intense hunger that Ryu Zukang felt,
Likewise, it would be exactly the same feeling of hunger that Thomas Andre, who had been a national power-level hunter in his previous life, had felt.
Unfortunately, however, Liu Zhiqiang was a little less fortunate than Thomas Andre.
Because someone had noticed the powerful hunger he was craving and had come to pry into his empty heart as if he had been waiting for it.

[Do you want power?]
‘… … !’
[If you want, I will give you more power.]
Ryu Zhikang couldn’t help but be shocked.
Because the unidentified voice whispering in his ear like a devil was piercing right into his heart.
‘Who are you!’
[What does the name matter? What matters is that your vessel is large enough to receive me.]
‘… … !’
Phew!
In the first place, that voice had not asked for permission from Ryu Zhikang.
At that moment, a new power from outer space suddenly began to flow into Ryu Zhi Kang’s empty vessel.
At the same time, as if it were a lie, the hunger in my heart also began to fill up little by little.
but.
There is no such thing as power without a price.
[So obey willingly.]
‘… … !’
In this way, Ryuuzukang was reborn as an apostle of Itarim at the same time as his awakening… … .
‘… … Don’t make me laugh!’
But there was something that even the divinity of Itarim could not have predicted.
Liu Zhikang was a warrior who walked the path of ‘martial arts’ his entire life.
It was the stubbornness of a Taoist who had kept the ‘Tao’ at the center of his heart and practiced it diligently throughout his life, which was completely different from that of Thomas Andre, who had lived his entire life as a scoundrel using violence.
‘I don’t believe in God! My mind is solely mine… …!’
[… … !]
Liu Zhikang, who had been accepting the power that was filling his body, gritted his teeth and barely endured the forced submission.
However, Itarim’s divinity was not a power that could be handled by the will of a mere human.
[Worship.] [Praise.] [Your faith… … .]
‘Shut up! Shut up! Whoever you are! I… I!’
Liu Zhikang instinctively gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to bow down and worship that great power.
A splitting headache.
A stream of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
But at the same time, the emotions that surged across Ryu Zhikang’s face were none other than ‘humiliation’ and ‘self-righteousness.’
Knock!
‘… … I am Ryuuzukang!’
[… … .]
To cut to the chase, Ryu Zukang was ultimately not tainted by Itarim’s divinity.
No, he was still being polluted by the second, but Ryu Zhikang ran outside without warning to shake off the power.
Then, he grabbed the two long swords he had trained with his entire life in both hands, entered the dungeon, and began to kill any demons he came across.
In this way, he constantly unleashed the power of Itarim, which was trying to take control of his body.
‘Taegeuk (太極)’
‘Flower grafting’
‘Soft but strong’
Whatever you call it, it’s fine.

To maintain his sanity, Liu Zhikang sought answers in the martial arts he had practiced his entire life.
Of course, not everyone can reach the state where knowledge and action are in sync, but Liu Zhikang desperately tried to achieve it.
Kwaaaaak!
Kyaaaaah!
As he walked, countless demons died, spewing blood.
Ryu Zukang reversed the direction of the Itarim power flowing into him and continuously erupted it out of his body.
Guild?
A force that respects and follows you?
I didn’t have the energy to care about that kind of stuff.
For two full years like that.
During that time, Liu Zhikang was like a madman, wandering around the vast expanse of China without rest, unleashing the power of Italim against the demons.
Instead of accepting the overwhelming divinity contained within, he pushed it out.
I couldn’t let my guard down even while I was sleeping.
Even in my dreams, I had to fight against the demons who were waiting for the moment to reveal their weaknesses.
A thorough single-track.
Extremely poisonous.
In the process, he received the sincere respect and support of 1 billion Chinese people, and even earned the fancy reputation of a six-star hunter, but it was actually a good thing for the person concerned.
Because his interest was only one thing.
‘I will not be eaten by the devil who seeks to control my heart!’
… … That’s how Ryu Zukang is.
He had become a monster who wandered aimlessly in search of places with many demons.
In particular, a dangerously neglected field dungeon was the perfect battleground for him, as he could run wild to his heart’s content, rather than a dungeon with numerous conflicting interests.
Even though it exists in another country, across the border.
‘There are still fields that haven’t been conquered even with Siddharth Bachchan’s arrival?’
… … Liu Zhikang willingly crossed the border.
We have entered the ‘Roktak Field’, which even India’s S-class hunters cannot conquer.
-Ryu Zhikang invaded the Indian border alone!
-No, why-!
Of course, the aftermath was by no means small.
The Chinese government, which was well aware of his wandering nature, had done its best to prevent this from happening.
Even before Ryu Zukang finished hunting, he found the next hunting ground nearby and provided all other conveniences.
After all, there were countless hunting grounds in the vast Chinese continent, and there were plenty of fields where Liu Zhikang could fight frantically until all his magic power was depleted.
But this time, I couldn’t stop it.
-Ryu Zhikang finally crossed the border!
-Why on earth didn’t you stop him!

-You know what it means when a six-star hunter from China crosses the border!
-That’s going to turn into a diplomatic issue!
Chinese public opinion was in uproar.
Since many people saw him crossing the border without permission, the fact quickly reached the ears of the Indian government.
Then, this time, public opinion in India was also ignited.
-China’s strongest hunter invaded India?!
-Is China thinking of going to war with India?
-There’s no doubt that this was a Chinese conspiracy from the beginning!
-What does it mean that at the end of the road that Ryu Zhi Kang is taking is the field where Siddharth Bachchan is?
– Could it be that Ryu Zikang is tired of slaughtering demons and is targeting Siddharth Bachchan?
-If China doesn’t want war, then Liu Zhikang, who invaded India right away… …!
In fact, this was a situation that no one wanted.
Of course, there were some thoughtless people in internet communities who talked nonsense about taking over India on this occasion, but they were a very small minority.
It was especially frustrating for the Chinese government, which had tried to block his advances in front of the border.
Liu Zhikang, the stubborn old man who had walked the path of martial arts all his life, was not someone who could be persuaded at all.
Eventually, they had no choice but to upload Liu Zhiqiang’s remarks recorded by the staff guarding the border onto the Internet.
-Are you wearing those heads as decorations? Should I take them off for you?
Creepy.
At Liu Zhikang’s words, the Chinese hunters who were trying to stop him from crossing the border hid their necks with thoughtful faces.
-The Loktak field, where even Siddharth Bachchan is struggling, is getting wider. And right above it is our China.
Yes, that’s right.
Ryu Zhikang also had his own reasons.
Before crossing the border, he fixed his sharp gaze on the camera aimed at him and raised his voice.
-Tell the people clearly! I, Ryu Zhi Kang, am not confident that I can prevent the accident that Siddharth Bachchan could not prevent, so I will go help him from now on. If you are not satisfied with that, then we will take control of the devil ourselves… … .
Of course, it was a lame excuse and a pretext.
Because Ryu Zikang just wanted to go into the field where Siddharth Bachchan was having a hard time and run wild.
‘… … Now it’s the limit.’
He had been holding on for over two years, but he was growing increasingly exhausted.
If I don’t find stronger demons quickly and pour out all my evil power to control my mind at every moment…
‘It really works.’
So in the end… … .
Ryu Zukang was something I had just encountered.
An opponent worth pouring all your strength into.
It is a peculiar evil spirit with ominous and black vapors burning all over its body.
“Hahaha! Who knew there was such a strong demon! It was a good decision to come here!”

… … the grid.
[My lord! This guy’s eyes are awake! He is definitely an apostle of Itarim!]
Grid, who had been engaged in a close fight with him, shouted at Suho, who arrived late.
And at that moment.
The eyes of Liu Zhiqiang and Suho, who were far apart from each other, met in the air.
Ryu Zhikang glared at Suho and growled fiercely.
“What do you have to do with this evil spirit?”
“… … .”
Oh no.
Suho’s expression hardened at that murderous voice.
… … It was Chinese.
