The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 793 (793/820)
Shanxi Province is a famous chemical company.
This has been the case since the time when Guga appeared in the Central Plains.
The head of the Gu family and his direct descendants all used firearms.
A three-stage evolution that uses a bet to create flames.
At first glance, this and Guga’s martial arts seem similar, but they are fundamentally different.
A family that existed in the Central Plains, led by the firefighters who used fireworks for generations.
That was Shanxi Province.
but.
‘Not all Mr. Koo uses chemical engineering.’
Although the three basic skills were chemical, not all blood relatives could use them.
Only the direct lineage, the clan head, could place the Guyeonhwaryun Gong in the dantian.
Those who were not from that faction learned other deep techniques besides the Nine Flames of Fire Lun Gong.
The deep learning that is done in this way is divided into several categories.
There is a commonality in that they deal with heat.
Or increase physical abilities by storing heat in the body.
Using it to use swordsmanship, etc.
Even if the chemical engineering was not used, other deep techniques were applied.
There were some who practiced this to the extreme and were able to produce power equivalent to that of the direct lineage of the main family.
A representative example is Gu Chang-jun, a former senior member of the church.
Plus, the old man is very angry right now.
“Whew!”
The current elder.
Salt water wheel.
It was the same for him too.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaah—!!!
The old man’s blow turns the ground upside down.
The sound and impact were tremendous, as if to show the strength of the blow.
What’s more,
Boom-! Boom bang-! KWAANG-!!
Not only was the destructive power great, but the speed was also fast.
‘wow.’
He dodged the punch and expressed his admiration inwardly.
‘The old man is still in good spirits.’
I know that the elder has reached Hwagyeong.

How could I not know?
He must have been a gentleman before I was born.
Moreover, the position of elder of the family is one that can only be held by direct blood relatives.
Only the head of the Guseonmun sect can ascend to the position of elder even if he is not a direct descendant.
That old man was the only one who broke the rules and became an elder.
This means.
It means that the family has that much influence.
It also meant that it was strong enough to create such influence.
Cheeeeek-!!
Steam can be seen emanating from the elder’s body.
The skin turns red and flushes as the steam is released quickly.
At the same time, the weight of the bets around him changed.
I squinted my eyes at the rough sensation.
Phew-!!
At that moment, a fist appeared in front of my nose.
He turned his head and avoided the attack.
After that, twist your waist.
The body spun quickly and used that power to power the feet.
Bam-!
The leg hits the elder’s stomach directly.
The shocked elder is slightly pushed away.
At that moment.
WHACK!
“her?”
The elder immediately grabbed the tree next to him and pulled it up.
‘crazy.’
How can they uproot trees so easily, like digging up a field?
Even.
Phew!
The old man swung the tree he had caught at me with all his might.
The old tree was huge, but it was so strong that it flew down very quickly.
It’s obvious that there will be a strong force at first glance.
It’s ambiguous to avoid. If it happens like this.
‘I’d rather break it.’
As soon as I made a decision, I filled my hand with energy and swung it.
Advertisements
I was thinking of breaking the old tree with my fist.
Crunch-!!
‘what?’
As expected, the tree was broken by the punch. The problem is.
‘Isn’t the river surrounded by trees?’
There was no sign of strength surrounding the old tree. That was when I noticed it.
‘this.’
That means it was the elder’s trick.
The old tree, which broke too easily, actually made me sway in my posture.
Shards of wood flutter into the air.
Through that gap.
Cheeeeek-!
A giant flying object flew in with the familiar sound of steam.
He is a very muscular man.
He swung his large fist at me.
The situation has already collapsed. It cannot be avoided.
I have no choice but to raise my arms to defend myself.
Kwajik-! Kuung!!
“…!”
My body was thrown back by a greater impact than I expected.
Kkeuggeuk-!
It held the ground and controlled the recoil.
When I barely managed to stop my body.
“…under.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at the pain I felt in my hand.
“Isn’t that too much?”
When I asked in disbelief, the old man in front of me nodded his head.
“What are you talking about?”
What are you talking about?
“I thought you knew how to handle it. Are you really going to lose?”
My arms are so cold that they feel tingly.
This was something that could not have happened without hitting me with all my heart.
‘The self-defense weapon was destroyed.’
I had tried to cover the area around me to prepare for defense, but it was shattered by one punch from the elder.
This is it… .
Advertisements
“They said it was etiquette training. If I get it twice I’ll die.”
“joy.”
Boom! Boom!
Even when the elder briefly shakes his feet, the vibration is felt.
I was clearly the one who was getting beaten up, but that old man had a look on his face that I didn’t like.
What could be the problem?
I was quietly watching Iljang-ro because I had a strange feeling.
“Yangcheon, you are the one who makes Nobu look funny.”
The elder spoke to me with a frown.
“What about me?”
“The old man is working so hard. How can he not do it properly?”
“…”
this.
Hearing the elder’s words, he smiled awkwardly.
‘… I guess I’m not being fooled?’
I was trying to get past it without attacking if possible.
It seems that the elders have figured that out long ago.
That’s why I think he didn’t like it that much.
but.
‘I can’t help it.’
This was something I really had no choice about.
‘I knew what would happen to the elder if I hit it wrong.’
The firepower cannot be properly controlled yet.
In this situation, I couldn’t even guess what would happen if I attacked and tried to counterattack.
Because of that, I couldn’t counterattack and was just fending off attacks.
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
The elder keeps clicking his tongue because he doesn’t like that so much.
“You don’t seem to have matured. You’ve become like dried squid since I last saw you.”
“Dry… what?”
“What are you so worried about that you’re hesitating so much?”
“…”
“Surely, this old man can’t stand a single cotton bat from his grandson?”
Could not answer.
“Then it’s a needless worry.”
Cheeeeek—!!!
Advertisements
The steam felt from the elder’s body becomes thicker.
“The old man is the wheel of the salt field.”
The gushing heat enveloped the surroundings.
“You’ve become king, you’re being hailed as a hero. You’re talking so much, I guess you’re just not paying attention.”
thud-!!!
Within, the body of the elder begins to emit steam and aura, and its presence gradually grows larger.
“The old man is not so weak that he cannot discipline his grandson, let alone show him his tricks.”
“No, that’s not it… . Ugh.”
It’s a dilemma.
For some reason, it seemed like the chief had no intention of backing down.
‘If communication is this difficult, shouldn’t I just stand out?’
If we can’t communicate anyway, I’ll just run away.
Coming here, that’s the only thought that comes to mind.
Since I have always fled whenever Iljang-ro came to spar with me, I wonder if it will be the same this time too.
‘It feels different.’
In the past, I didn’t want to fight because I couldn’t win, so I ran away.
This time, it was the exact opposite.
I didn’t want to fight a situation I couldn’t control.
I didn’t want to hurt you because of that.
At that moment, I was busy thinking about how to run away.
“Judging by your expression, you seem to be thinking of running away again.”
“…”
I got caught for sure.
“… That’s not it.”
“Yangcheon-ah.”
“yes….”
“Since when have you been so fearful of fighting your elders?”
“Isn’t it wrong for people to fight like that?”
“Heh heh.”
The elder burst into laughter at my words.
“I saw a yellow dog on my way here yesterday.”
“Suddenly an overview?”
“What do you think he would say or bark at if he saw you now?”
“… How would I know that?”
“I’m going to tell you not to be a jerk.”
Advertisements
“…”
“Even the neighborhood dog would say the same thing if it heard you.”
“No, what….”
“One, even though he’s a little lacking, what can I do? He’s my grandson. You have to help him.”
The elder moves his jaw as he interrupts the conversation.
Every time that happened, a clicking sound would come from my neck.
“I’ll give you a reason.”
“… Are you talking about the justification?”
“That’s right. If you beat this old man… . Okay, can I give you a gift?”
A gift? I frowned at the unexpected comment.
“What kind of gift are you talking about out of the blue?”
“Isn’t there that old man who came to find you earlier?”
It seemed like it was a story about the first group.
“You asked, ‘What does he do?’”
“…”
“I’ll tell you that.”
“…!”
I immediately opened my eyes at the elder’s words.
“And, let me tell you one of that old man’s secrets.”
“… What is that? Actually, you’re not talking about the fact that he’s the first person to serve as a member of Baekhwasangdan or anything like that, are you?”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Do you think this old man is such a petty person?”
“…”
“answer.”
“… Of course not.”
I thought it would definitely be like that, so I’m glad to hear that it wasn’t.
anyway.
“If you do it, Yangcheon-ah.”
I looked at the elder again at the call.
“Even though I gave you this much of a reason, do you still plan on ignoring this old man?”
After hearing the question, I took a deep breath.
“I think there is some misunderstanding.”
Woof woof-!
My heart is slowly gaining strength.
The energy immediately spread through my body.
As the fever rises, the body gradually begins to become more active.
Advertisements
Feeling this, I continued speaking to the elder.
“I have never disrespected you, Elder.”
Yeah, not even once.
I have never once in my life ignored an elder.
There were a few times when I cursed inwardly… but I never ignored it.
It’s the same this time too.
‘This is not ignorance… if we really want to be specific.’
worry.
It’s something that sounds like it’ll get you kicked out if you say it, but it’s true.
I said this purely out of concern for the elders.
“I don’t understand why a gentleman of your age keeps buying things and suffering.”
“Huh? This guy is talking nonsense again… .”
Stop.
The elder who was speaking suddenly widens his eyes.
Ss …
I released the strength I had in my body.
When I opened up the body I had been holding, the blocked energy broke free from my control.
Saaaaahh …
It extends gracefully over the shoulder.
As expected.
‘It’s going too far.’
It’s a lot more than I was hoping for.
Thanks to this, the speed at which it permeated the body was also fast, but it was not cost-effective at all.
“… Heh heh heh… .”
One day, the elder who saw this burst into laughter.
I’m surprised, but what about Iljangro? Iljangro’s eyes clearly showed disbelief.
I asked while looking at it.
“Elder, are you willing to stop now?”
“What?”
At the last question, Iljang-ro’s smile deepens.
“Just come and stop talking nonsense. Like I said before.”
The elder’s large fist is aimed at me.
“The old man is the wheel of the salt field.”
“… Yes, that’s right.”
Anyway, stubborn as hell.
Advertisements
Looking at that old man, he sighed and continued speaking.
“Elder. Let me say this again, I’m having a hard time controlling my strength right now-.”
The moment I spoke, something appeared before my eyes.
It’s similar to before. It was Iljang-ro’s fist.
but.
‘That’s right.’
There was something quite different from before: the elder’s fist appeared to move much slower.
The speed of perception changes.
Accordingly, the speed at which my body reacted also changed.
Phew-!
Paaang–!!
The dodged fist sends a wave through the air.
Then he dug into the arms of the elder.
“… Hmph!”
The elder suddenly changes his actions.
It was too late to retrieve the punch since it was already extended. He tried to use his lower body to control it.
At that time, my fist had already made contact with the elder.
Thump-.
A brief sensation.
It’s a seemingly unremarkable contact.
but.
Wooooow—!!
“nice…!?”
The shock that followed caused Iljang-ro’s body to shake.
The wind pressure is so strong that I get swept away and bounced away.
A day trip that flies quite far.
I took just one step after seeing that.
Bam.
My feet left the ground and my body was already behind Iljang-ro.
“her!!”
The elder let out a gasp of surprise at the sight.
At the same time, turn your upper body and continue the offensive.
It’s the same as before.
The fist was strong and fast compared to the bulging muscles.
but.
Advertisements
I was a little faster than that.
Boom! Boom!
He swung his hand like a whip to deflect the attack.
Sim-an informed all of Iljang-ro’s attacks.
Because the speed was fast, it wasn’t that difficult to hit and throw it.
“Hahahaha—!”
The rough laughter of the elders rang in my ears.
What is so exciting about this?
Cheeeeek—!!!
Steam billowed out, obscuring the view.
It is an intentional act. The steam itself is made of bets, so the mind is momentarily obscured.
Shhhhh!
The moment when the view was obscured like that.
The elder swung his fist through the steam blocking his way.
The fist that attacked me while I was off guard was about to hit my face.
closely-!
“…!!”
Unfortunately, the elder’s fist was unable to carry out his will.
Because my hand grabbed his wrist and stopped him.
You can feel it in your palm as it touches your wrist.
I can tell how hot the elder’s body was, and how he was truly trying to deal with me.
“…”
Feeling this, I clenched my fist.
Thump-!
The ring of flames tied around his heart shook violently.
A large amount of energy gathers in the fist in proportion to the strength applied.
Bam.
A spark sprouted at the tip of the skin.
There is no need to think long.
Since the energy is pent up, I just need to release it.
Woohooooow.
The fist extends along the vibration.
It was smooth as if it had been waiting for it. It was natural, as if someone was guiding it.
what.
A strange feeling crossed my mind.
Advertisements
This feeling.
Something seems slightly different than usual.
It felt like I was floating. Something was different from my usual movements.
Not only the movements, but also the energy contained in them is quite different.
It was as if I was possessed by some energy.
Could this be enlightenment?
Are you talking about the enlightenment that came to you out of the blue while you were beating up a monk?
I don’t know what this realization is about, but I know it feels different.
Instinct speaks.
Remember this feeling now.
A feeling of natural elation as if the body is floating, and as if one can accomplish anything.
Remember this.
For that, I had to catch it somehow for sure.
You must remember the feeling now and complete the movement perfectly.
I knew this better than anyone else.
“…”
I changed the angle of my outstretched hand.
The fist missed the elder’s chest and dug into the empty space in his side.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaah—!!!
Fireworks erupted immediately.
Hey, Guyeomtaeryun.
A burst of blue flames swept across the area.
A much larger flame than usual engulfs the surrounding area, but surprisingly this time it does not affect the terrain.
It just burns.
I took a deep breath while looking at Cheongyeon’s shining eyes.
“…”
It’s not like my breathing has gotten any harder.
It’s true that the bet was gone in an instant, but it wasn’t so much that it was burdensome.
But the reason why my breathing became rough is none other than this.
‘I missed it.’
I missed something that felt like it was coming. That breath. That feeling at that moment.
I missed the moment that came in an instant. The emptiness that came from that came rushing in.
‘… Should I not have let it go?’
It must have been a moment that might not come again. Wasn’t it a huge loss to miss it?
I think so, though.
Advertisements
‘I can’t help it.’
There was no other way.
But that doesn’t mean I can really hit the elder directly.
“ah….”
Thinking back to that point, I came to my senses a little. Thinking back, I realized that this wasn’t the time.
“Work-”
I quickly looked at the elder. He was looking at me with a blank expression.
‘Oops.’
He looks quite shocked.
Even so, was this a bit too much? I told him to do it properly, but didn’t he end up crossing the line?
I’m nervously checking the mood of the elder.
“under-.”
“under?”
“Hahahahahahaha–!!”
“…?”
Suddenly, the elder started laughing harshly.
“This guy! This guy!”
As always, I started to ruffle my hair like crazy.
“Wow! This is truly amazing!”
“… No, sleep… Just a moment…”
“ha ha ha-!!”
Far from being shocked, the reaction was one of excitement.
Why on earth are you doing this?
Did you accidentally hit your head? No, but you definitely missed the mark…?
First of all, I had to stop the Iljang-ro because I was getting tired of shaking my head.
“… No, stop it now.”
“Well done.”
“…”
“You’ve worked hard.”
After hearing that, my reaction hardened.
“Dude. How hard must you have worked to get to this point.”
The words I was about to spit out stayed in, but the hand I was about to sweep away stayed there.
Knock knock.
Knock knock.
In the sound of the burning flame that has not yet been recovered.
Advertisements
I always realize something that I had forgotten about for a while.
No matter how much my skills improve and my level rises, there is a reason why I cannot treat the elders carelessly.
“Well done, my grandson. I’m proud of you.”
“…”
The only person in my life who ever complimented me.
Because that was just one day.
So it suddenly occurred to me that it was like that.
******************
Just after giving a lot of hair.
It didn’t take long for things to settle down.
“Hahahaha this guy-!!”
Of course, even after that, Iljang-ro didn’t stop laughing.
I wonder if it doesn’t feel bad that I’ve defeated myself.
No, to this extent, I actually felt like I liked it.
I don’t know what was so special, but the elder kept patting my back. Now, I was reaching my limit.
“… If this continues, my back will burst.”
“Ah, that’s right. It seems the old man was in a good mood and overdid it a bit.”
“What on earth makes you feel so good?”
“Hmm?”
Not only did he say things like “power control” and cross the line, but he ended up winning, so I think it was quite upsetting for me as an elder.
“How could I not feel good?”
Iljangro seemed very different from me.
“I know my grandson has grown up so much. I can’t help but feel happy.”
Strictly speaking, he is not a grandson.
I was about to say that but then I closed my mouth. I knew that now was not the time to say such things.
“Yangcheon-ah. What about you?”
“What are you talking about…?”
“After moving my body, don’t you feel a little more refreshed?”
“…”
It’s refreshing.
‘well.’
I don’t know.
My complicated thoughts haven’t been erased. It’s not like moving around a bit will solve anything.
“It does help.”
At least it was better than before. That’s what it felt like.
Advertisements
It’s not all that bad. I nod my head, thinking it’s okay.
‘Oh, then wait a minute… Just stay still.’
A thought suddenly occurred to me.
“…Elder.”
“huh?”
“I was just asking just in case.”
“Okay, tell me.”
“Are you sure you did that on purpose?”
I looked into the elder’s eyes and asked. He started training under the pretext of training, but in reality, he was just happy that I had gotten stronger.
Even now, the only question he asks is whether I am okay.
That means.
“… From the beginning, you were just trying to cheer me up… .”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“…”
The elder said this with a sly smile, but it rather made him feel more confident.
Why did you suddenly start a fight?
‘This old man?’
This is ridiculous.
Why would a gentleman of his age resort to such an ignorant method?
I try to speak with a sigh, but…
“Elder… .”
“Oh, by the way, you made a bet, right?”
The elder cut me off like a ghost.
“The old man lost. Honey, I’ll tell you as promised.”
“…”
bet.
It was a condition that came to me during my sparring with Iljangro.
If I win in the duel… .
‘I thought you said you would tell me the identity of the first leader and one of his secrets.’
That was something I was curious about.
What on earth is that old man, the head of the group, talking as if he knows everything about Guga?
What secret does he hold?
I’m curious about that though.
‘… Since it’s something an elder said, it doesn’t seem like it would be very good information.’
I have something else to talk about right now. I wanted to finish this first.
Advertisements
“That’s not what’s important right now-”
“That old man was originally a member of the Gu family. He was also a direct blood relative like you.”
“You’re old, yet you keep asking… Yes?”
I had to freeze with a dumbfounded face at the words that came out of my mouth.
“…to?”
This was another crazy story I had never heard of or seen before.
