The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 747 (747/750)
The time was just past noon.
The sun was high in the sky, but it wasn’t very hot.
Because the season is already changing into fall.
My hair flutters in the wind that blows fiercely.
Since I don’t take care of it, it’s understandable that it would be dull, but thanks to the transformation, my skin and hair are always in good condition.
‘That’s why I find it annoying.’
Swish.
She grabbed her long hair and tied it back.
I feel less uncomfortable now.
As I roughly sorted things out, the hair covering my eyes moved away, revealing my field of vision.
The first thing that appeared was a stage with cracks here and there.
There were clear traces of the attack by Hwagyeong-class unmanned aerial vehicles.
They say they’ve strengthened their stage by climbing the Palgang River, but where on earth do these people spend their money?
I thought it was such a waste of time.
Uh-huh.
I slightly release my wrist and raise my gaze. This time, I see a person, away from the stage.
One of them was a referee who was extremely nervous.
The reason is probably largely my fault.
‘It must be an aftereffect of the last battle.’
I didn’t do anything major in the fight with Youngpung, but in the fight with Shinryong, I had a bit of an accident there.
That’s probably why the referee is so nervous.
‘I feel a little sorry, though.’
What can I do?
If you want to live off your salary, you have to do whatever it takes.
I know from my experience that the amount of money given by the Murim Alliance isn’t that small.
Looking at the armband, he seems to be at the level of a lieutenant colonel, so he must have received quite a lot.
Then you should get your money’s worth.
‘and.’
Another reason why the referee is so nervous.
I turned my gaze slightly to see the culprit.
Gooooo.
A giant nearly eight feet tall appears.
A body with broad shoulders and heavy muscles.
It was King Peng Zhou.

He was looking at me with his hands behind his back.
I could clearly feel something different about him than last time.
‘That old man. He’s not playing around with energy anymore?’
Last time, you were acting all sorts of crazy and giving off all sorts of energy.
This time it’s just quiet.
The strong man’s speculation was still there, but that was inevitable, so let’s ignore it.
All the energy that was overflowing was collected and held in my arms.
Yeah, that’s how nice it looks.
It was nice to see him not doing anything useless.
but.
-Who will win this time?
-Well, no matter what, he must be the King.
-Oh my, he is the one who defeated the dragon named Soyeom. There is no way he would lose to the King of Dao.
-No matter what, the King of Do is one of the six. It’s a bit… for someone like that to lose to a later Ji-su-level person.
-So you’re saying that the two dragons weren’t the later index?
-… That’s the dragon that defeated the… .
All kinds of noises are piercing my ears.
As I listened to each of these, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
‘It’s so miserable.’
How did the Taoist king end up in such a state?
You’re saying that if you fight me, you have no chance of winning?
This is partly because my value has skyrocketed, but it is also largely because the value of the Taoist King has plummeted.
‘Tsk.’
Perhaps because he knew that, the King’s expression continued to crumple.
It’s a shame, though.
What can I do? I should blame the fan who beat me up.
Besides, honestly, people’s interest right now is not only in the outcome of this match, but also in other areas.
That’s right, if I and Two Dragons fight, who will win?
This is what many people are wondering about right now.
A two-legged dragon that defeated and was defeated by the King of Do-wang.
Soyeomra, who came up after defeating Shinryong, the youngest Hwagyeong.
The two of them seemed even more curious about this because their relationship was not going well and they were unable to fight in the end.
Who is the stronger of the two?
Who is the true king of late-stage index?
‘after.’
Advertisements
I’m so sick of this ridiculous ranking game.
What’s so important about that?
‘Damn old man.’
He frowned in annoyance.
If such words attract this much attention, then it seems that the appearance of the loser was quite shocking.
‘Things got messed up because of you.’
I started to feel embarrassed because I was showing off so well.
Even though it is an aftereffect of the internal injury, it is even more so because the defeated party abstained.
Isn’t it that we end up not knowing anything?
People would never know who was stronger between Soyeomra and Tulong.
This will draw attention to this side.
That was a pity.
‘I should have accepted them all if possible.’
I feel like I’m sharing half of the world with the world.
‘Surely you did this on purpose.’
A dragon that leaves when applause begins and receives all kinds of praise.
Could it be that Pajeon anticipated this behavior?
‘… You never know.’
He is a surprisingly capable person.
It was something that may have been calculated and done.
The problem is that we can’t argue with this.
‘It’s a shame, but what can I do?’
It’s spilt milk, and also.
‘There is a way to solve it to some extent.’
That was the only fortunate part. While I was nodding my head while thinking that.
“Where are you looking?”
I turn my gaze to the voice of the Taoist king.
“Are you thinking of something else right now, in front of me?”
“Oh, sorry. I got distracted for a moment.”
I apologized honestly.
However, the impression of the Taoist king is not clear at all.
“… He really is incredibly arrogant. Well, of course. He’s that bastard’s son, so it’s only natural that he would take after him.”
“hmm.”
One nail each on the middle and ring fingers.
I spoke, mulling over the words in my mind.
Advertisements
“It’s natural for children to resemble their parents… From that perspective, it’s really fortunate for Mr. Peng.”
“what?”
“Your son doesn’t resemble Lord Peng. In many ways. Isn’t that a really good thing?”
Honestly, from my perspective, Peng Woo-jin is a little better, but it doesn’t matter for now.
As I spoke with a smile, the old man’s brow furrowed even more.
“I think I have to rip that little mouth open to make you quiet down.”
“That’s a scary thing to say.”
“The world has exalted you so much that you feel like it’s all yours? You are so arrogant.”
thud.
The attitude of the Taoist king falls to the floor.
Even looking at it again, it was still enormous.
“Don’t be mistaken. I made a mistake during the fight with the dragon. But a miracle like that won’t happen to you.”
“Hmm….”
He scratched his cheek after hearing that.
“Your Majesty, you keep pretending not to know.”
“You’re pretending not to know?”
“Why do you keep thinking it’s a miracle? You yourself know best.”
I saw the corners of the Taoist king’s eyes tremble slightly at my words.
I think he noticed what I was saying.
“Why do you keep wrapping up things that are just dog food? Does that make you feel better?”
“…!”
Wood crunch.
Finally, a rough sound was heard from the corner of the King’s mouth.
“You were really shocked. Did you get hit hard on the head then? Why do you keep saying strange things?”
I spat out the words and looked around.
At the same time, he put a bet on the sound.
It wasn’t a sound barrier. It simply prevented the sound from spreading.
“Stop being a jerk and just hold your sword straight. Why do you keep talking nonsense when you’re weak? How many times are you going to get beaten like that?”
“This kid…!”
Ki-ki-ki-ki—!!
The King’s muscles bulge as if he is about to rush in at any moment.
Even as I looked at that sight, my eyes were still looking around.
‘Time is… roughly about an hour.’
That was the amount of time left. I looked back, recalling my thoughts.
This is the location of the pavilion where the supreme beings and the target group that sent support from the Central Plains gather.
Advertisements
I took a quick look there and nodded.
‘Not bad.’
That’s okay.
After making that judgment, he looked at the referee.
“I think we’re ready. Let’s get started.”
“…yes…?”
The referee looks flustered at my words.
The referee also seemed to know that the King’s condition was strange.
“It doesn’t matter, you can start.”
He said, waving his hand.
As he uttered these words, the King of Tao’s jealousy grew stronger.
“I swear.”
The hand holding the sword began to tremble violently, as if it was not pleased with my attitude.
“On my name. I will trample you to pieces right here on this spot.”
I snickered when I heard that.
“It’s one of those things I hear so often… but I’ve never seen anyone succeed in saying it.”
Usually, people who say things like that to me end up in one of two ways.
Or rather, it’s lying under my feet.
I had my throat ripped out by my own hands and was about to die.
Then which side will the Taoist king be on?
“I won’t expect anything. I’ll just dare to hope.”
Kook.
I clenched and unclenched my fist a few times. Then.
“A moment.”
Bam.
He said, clenching his fist.
“Please just hold on for that long.”
That was all I wanted from the Tao King.
****************
The later period of King Do-wang’s reign.
This happened when he was called Mokryong (墨龍), not his current nickname.
Now it is called the Six Dragons and Three Phoenixes, but at that time there were only two phoenixes and five dragons.
Five dragons and two phoenixes.
This is a story from the day Peng Zhou was there.
It’s winter, not fall.
Advertisements
It was the time when the Yongbong branch was in full swing.
At that time, Mukryong was more angry than he is now.
It was also a time when he was still immature due to being raised with much care by the King of Tao. It was also a time when he was most misguided due to his sense of entitlement to the talents he possessed.
He had the skills to become a dragon because he received support from a prestigious family called the Four Great Kings. But he only managed to get there by a narrow margin.
The later indices of small and medium-sized families who are trying to attack from behind.
The blood relatives of the noble family who block the way in front so that it can never be crossed.
When everything was pushing Pengzhou.
That day happened to be the day after Peng Zhou was brutally defeated by the Sword Dragon Namgung Jin.
-This fucking hair…!!!
Kwaaang–!!
Peng Zhou spit out harsh curses and smashed the table.
-I… I am nothing more than a parasite to that brother–!!!
The incident where he was defeated by Geomryong and left the Yongbongjihoe.
Thinking back to that incident, Peng Zhou kept expressing his anger.
The atmosphere in the guest house was cold.
Others were cowering in fear, and the unmanned ones were hesitant to step forward.
Although Peng Zhou was a latecomer, he was also the next Soga of Peng Ga.
If you harm him, you never know what the king of the time will do.
Because of that, no one could touch Pengzhou.
It was widely known throughout the Central Plains that King Dao loved Pengzhou so much.
-What am I, what am I lacking–!!
BAM-! Clang! Clang!
The memory is painful.
I couldn’t count the number of bottles of alcohol I drank, but I didn’t get drunk easily because I was alone.
The liquor bottle broke and scattered on the floor.
Peng Zhou’s mind was as chaotic as those bottles of alcohol.
I remembered myself rolling on the floor, subdued by the Emperor Sword of the Sword Dragon.
-Euaaaahh …
BAM-! BAM-!!
While breaking all sorts of things.
Something catches Peng Zhou’s eye.
Immediately after, all the women who had been flirting next to me ran away.
At a point when everyone is scared of you, awkward and stuck to the wall.
Just one person.
There was only one person in the guest house eating without any concern.
Advertisements
I order a small bowl of noodles and eat it without making a sound.
It was so quiet that I didn’t even notice it was there.
Gulp.
When only the faint sound of swallowing resonates.
-… What the heck, you.
Peng Zhou didn’t like that and started a fight with him.
-In this situation, does your throat fit in? Does it fit?
Peng Zhou threw the bottle of wine, throwing it in frustration.
but.
Whoosh-! Boom.
The person eating caught the flying bottle of alcohol and placed it nonchalantly on his table.
It was a natural behavior.
At that moment, Peng Zhou’s expression was crumpled by that action.
The opponent looked at Peng Zhou.
-…!
Peng Zhou checked his opponent and shivered slightly.
I don’t know why, but the moment I saw the young man’s eyes, my body froze involuntarily.
A person of similar age to me, with black hair and extremely red eyes.
It was a familiar face.
-Ha… I wondered who it was. It was you.
I think they were the blood relatives of the Gu family.
He was the first blood relative to appear at this Yongbong branch meeting, and he was a guy who had shown good results in the friendly competition.
I heard it’s the shaman’s little dragon. You were lucky enough to defeat that unlucky guy, right?
The name is probably.
-Gucheol… Gucheol-hyung?
-Gu Cheol-woon.
Peng Woojin clicks his tongue at the voice saying his name.
The voice was deep and heavy, which was no joke.
-Yeah, Gu Cheol-woon. That fucking kid. Who are you?
At the nervous words, Gu Cheol-woon nods his head and shows his chopsticks.
-You can’t tell by looking at me. I’m eating.
-Who would have thought I’d ask something like that!?
Knock! Knock! Peng Zhou approaches Gu Cheol-woon.
Then he grabbed the table and tried to flip it over.
Quite.
Advertisements
-…!?
The table was not audible.
Rather, Peng Zhou’s hand, which gave him strength, only trembled.
How did this happen?
Only when Peng Zhou looked around in confusion did he realize.
The hand of that bastard named Gu Cheol-woon was resting on the table.
Could it be because of that?
I couldn’t believe it.
Doesn’t this make you feel as if you are being pushed out of your power?
This is ridiculous.
I don’t know about anything else, but I think that in terms of strength, he was the best among the later indexes.
There’s no way I’d be pushed around by a guy like this… .
Hwaak-!
-Huh!?
The table suddenly lifts and rises into the sky.
Peng Zhou, whose posture collapsed due to the recoil, fell down comically.
Thud-!
The noodles poured down on Peng Zhou’s head.
Boom-! Crunch-!
Then the table falls to the floor and breaks.
-this.
At that sight, Gu Cheol-woon blurted out a word.
-I lost a precious food. It was the first time in a long time that I had something that suited my taste.
That was the end of the regretful words he uttered.
-… Ha… Hahaha… !!
At this, Peng Zhou burst into laughter.
Those around him were horrified by that laughter.
Because anyone could see that he was not in his right mind.
-You… Do you know who I am and why are you doing this?! Do you really want to die? I’m from Habukpangga…!
-I’m not interested.
Peng Zhou’s mouth closes for a moment at Gu Cheol-woon’s words.
-You little punk…?
Squeak.
Gu Cheol-woon slowly got up.
Peng Zhou’s eyes widened at the sight.
Advertisements
big.
It was a huge body, perhaps even a little bigger than himself.
-I don’t care about your name.
thud.
My heart was pounding loudly.
From the moment I saw Gu Cheol-woon’s eyes.
Red eyes looking down.
The moment they met eyes, Peng Zhou felt his body shrinking for some reason.
-What, what did you say…?
You’re not interested?
-How dare this dirty little brat speak now—!!
Kwak-!
-Crash!?
Peng Zhou gets angry and tries to move his body.
Suddenly, an arm stretched out and grabbed Peng Zhou’s cheeks, then spread them apart.
The giant hand even grabbed Peng Zhou’s large face with one hand.
He put his other hand into his mouth.
At first, I tried to struggle somehow.
But strangely, my body wouldn’t move.
It wasn’t even a blood clot. It was just a face grab, but my body froze up.
Later, I realized that I was oppressed by life at the time, but it was already too late.
Peng Zhou at that time.
I couldn’t do anything because of the murderous intent that Gu Cheol-woon was spewing out.
Woozijik-!
-Knock knock…!? Knock knock!!
The wisdom tooth is pulled out.
Even then, I couldn’t resist at all.
After that, my finger touched the spot where the wisdom tooth had been pulled out.
And then.
Cheeeeeeek—!!!
-Get out of here!!!!!!
The heat burned his wounds.
Peng Zhou screams in pain.
I writhe in pain without being able to fight back.
After struggling for a while, Gu Cheol-woon finally let go of Peng Zhou.
Advertisements
Whoosh! Boom!
After throwing the molar I was holding at him, I roughly wiped my drool-soaked hands on my clothes.
With an indifferent expression.
-I’ll consider this as payment for the noodles.
Words that are said indifferently.
At those words, Peng Zhou had a seizure.
-Hug… ugh… you… . This… . You, you little… brat… .
As Peng Zhou swears with a sigh, Gu Cheol-woon approaches and looks Peng Zhou in the eye.
-why.
-…!
-Do you have anything else to say?
-… Ugh… Ugh… .
-Go ahead. Listen.
I wanted to swear.
Do you know who I am? I am Pengzhou of Pengga.
I wanted to shout like that and rule over him.
Peng Zhou couldn’t open his mouth anymore.
Because his instincts were telling him.
– He told me to try harder.
If I spit out any more, I might die.
No, I will definitely die.
Gu Cheol-woon’s eyes and Peng Zhou’s instincts were telling him so.
-… Ugh… Ugh.
Pride and anger welled up in his throat, but Peng Zhou finally kept his mouth shut.
His pride was not more important than his life.
-Ugh… Ugh… .
So, instead of speaking, Peng Zhou just mumbled.
Gu Cheol-woon watched him for a moment and then got up again.
-It’s a good thing I didn’t ask your name.
As they slowly moved away, Peng Zhou could hear clearly.
-He was a guy not worth remembering.
I’m talking about the whispers that make Gu Cheol-woon shiver.
Peng Zhou ground his teeth at his trampled pride, but he couldn’t say a word until Gu Cheol-woon left the inn.
Crackle.
I clenched my fist.
Advertisements
I promised.
I’ll kill that bastard.
I will kill you somehow.
Either return to Sega and borrow the power of the Lord, or step forward yourself.
I will never forget this disgrace and will definitely punish it one day.
Even though I made up my mind to do so.
Peng Zhou’s wish did not come true.
Not long after that, Gu Cheol-woon flew away to a very far away place.
‘Gu Cheol-woon… .’
The blade of resentment held in one’s heart.
The resentment was so great that he tried to use my daughter to arrange an engagement.
Even that got tangled up and ended in failure.
Peng Zhou has never forgotten that moment.
That’s why it was like that even more.
-Habei Pengjia Pengzhou Dae Shanxi Gu Gu Yangcheon.
It is visible ahead.
A little kid who resembles that damn guy.
That son of a bitch with those eyes from back then.
A damn bloodline that even has talent that shines like its father.
Even though their appearances may not be very similar.
The unique atmosphere stimulated Pang Zhou’s emotions.
‘If I had just laid my head on the floor, I would have gotten over it a little.’
Perhaps because he took after his father, he had an arrogant and disgusting personality.
He didn’t even know his subject enough to talk back to the head of the Peng family.
I don’t like it.
That bastard named Two Dragons.
That Gu Cheol-woon’s child too.
Kwuk.
-start-!
I will break it.
I have to tear it apart somehow.
Silent iron.
Wow! Wow!
The dark energy gathers and strengthens in the attitude.
The Taoist king grabbed it and jumped with all his might.
Advertisements
The distance between the two people narrowed in an instant.
The moment when all kinds of emotions poured out towards Guyangcheon.
Bang-!
Whirilirik-!!
thud-!
“…uh…?”
Peng Zhou thought.
Somehow my hands feel light.
My eyes are rolling.
I checked my right hand.
There was none. There was no sign of the attitude that should have been shown.
Where did it go? Where did it suddenly go… .
“Oh my god, shit. Seriously.”
Curses are ringing in my ears.
Wheeeeeek-!
In an instant, King Do-Wang’s vision changed dramatically.
Kkwaduk-!
“Ugh!”
The face is trampled by feet and buried through the stage.
“Kuaaaah!!”
A scream burst out from the king in excruciating pain.
