Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 225
[Level Up with God Episode 225]
* * *
Grrrr-.
The flames inside the Bagua obscured my vision.
It wasn’t hot anymore. Yuwon continued to use Hwaan to remove the fire from Bagua and instead made that power his own.
Crispy-.
A piece of dry meat without any moisture entered my mouth.
The beef jerky that was stored in the inventory was completely burnt the moment it was taken out.
[You have passed the twenty-first test of Bagua.]
[The twenty-second test of Bagua begins.]
[Resist the flames of Bagua.]
[24:00:00]
The next test has begun.
It’s been 22 days since I ate nothing but burnt-out beef jerky and didn’t sleep.
Now I was slowly reaching my physical limit.
“I really can’t believe it when I see it.”
And Son Goku is looking at that in wonder.
He looked at Yuwon in silence for a while and then repeated the same words like a parrot.
“How did you do it?”
Son Goku’s eyes reflected Yuwon’s eyes.
What was in front of him was clearly Hwaan Geumjeong, just like himself. And unlike his own alter ego, his eyes are even closer to the real thing.
“I kept saying it. “He has a special talent.”
“Don’t show off.”
“I’m not trying to show off.”
Yuwon’s answer was always the same.
And every time that happened, Son Goku suspected that there was some kind of secret.
Your talent is extraordinary.
It was completely unbelievable to believe that outright.
however.
“…Really?”
After hearing the same answer so many times, I couldn’t help but believe it.
If you think about it, it wasn’t an unbelievable story.
Players become stronger through stats and skill items through levels. And becoming stronger through those three conditions and what kind of fights you fight using those conditions were all within the category of ‘talent’.
And in that respect, there was no doubt about Yuwon’s talent.
Even if you use clockwork to return to the past, the same is true.
“Have some faith.”
This incident, which Son Goku continued to disbelieve, was not that special to Yuwon.
“Because that talent is why I was chosen.”
It was an embarrassing story to say with my own mouth, but it was true.
The reason Yuwon came back.
That was because, even though he was the last to reach the top among the rankers gathered in the room, he was strong enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
“If only one person has to go, Kim Yu-won is probably the best.”
Odin.
There was one reason why he recommended Yuwon more strongly than anyone else.
“No matter what he learns, he will learn it quickly.”
Son Goku was definitely strong.
In battle, he was born with more natural talent than Yu Won.
In reality, Yuwon almost never won against Son Goku, so of course there were many people who recommended Son Goku.
However, in the end, Yuwon was chosen.
‘Because Son Goku… didn’t have the talent to learn anything.’
Son Goku had only a few skills.
Of course, he was able to use a few of those skills with a proficiency close to 100%, but he was not particularly talented in many areas.
“But this is definitely difficult.”
Blurry-.
Yuwon rubbed his eyes as his vision became increasingly blurry.
[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ resists ‘Bagua Law’.]
[The resistance is successful.]
[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ rules ‘Bagua Law’.]
[Proficiency is insufficient.]
[Hwaan Geumjeong’s proficiency is low. It increases by 0.01%.]
Yuwon, who was using the Hwaan Geumjeong to control the fire in the Bagua, felt that he was reaching his limit.
There was a limit to his magic power and a limit to his ability to concentrate.
Moreover, I had not slept for so long that my fatigue was at its peak.
‘That’s it.’
There was nothing more to be gained from Bagua Road.
All I had to do was gradually learn how to use Hwaan Geumjeong. There was no reason to insist on testing with Bagua.
If he were to lose his mind here and not be able to use the Hwaan Geumjeong and die in the fire of Bagua, it would be nothing but a dog’s death.
Klik-.
Yuwon eventually came out satisfied on the 22nd day.
If possible, I wanted to beat Son Goku’s achievement, but…
exceeding 100 days was impossible for me right now.
[Passed the 21st test of Bagua Road.]
[Acquired the magical power of Bagua Road.]
[Magic power increased by 2.]
[Fire property resistance increased significantly.]
After surviving for 22 days in Bagua Road, compensation.
It wasn’t a bad reward. It took a lot of time, but it was worth it if the magic stat increased by two.
no.
In reality, there were not only two.
‘Three magical powers obtained from the Eight Trigrams. And there are two final rewards.’
The magical power in the Bagua that he had obtained for himself through Hwaan Geumjeong was as much as the final reward.
In this way, the total magical power acquired in this Bagua test is five.
In addition, there was another message that stood out.
‘It’s a significant increase in resistance…’
It was a message that was difficult to believe even after seeing it.
It’s not just a rise, it’s a ‘significant’ rise.
‘This is my first time seeing a message like this.’
The resistance of each attribute was a stat that was not displayed visually. And usually, it was not easy to increase the resistance of this attribute.
However, the resistance to those attributes did not just increase, but increased significantly.
‘Maybe this is a better reward than the magic stat.’
There were many ways to increase the magic stat. You will be fighting Outers in the future, so just eat them.
In addition, there were many ways to level up and increase stats in Yuwon’s mind.
However, it was not an attribute-related resistance. Moreover, resistance to ‘fire’ was a stat that could be quite useful to Yuwon in the future.
‘Preparation for Ragnarok has become easier.’
In fact, Son Goku was known to have a resistance to the fire attribute that could be called almost invincible.
Yuwon thought it was just resistance through Hwaan Geumjeong, but it seems that wasn’t the case.
And it was clear that this resistance would later be useful in Asgard’s great war ‘Ragnarok’.
Hwii-ing-.
As I came out of Bagua, a hot wind blew.
A land that is so hot that even rankers can feel the heat, especially around Bagua Road.
But heat is inherently relative.
“…It’s cool.”
Yoo-won was so dumbfounded by what he said that he burst out laughing.
Not only did my resistance to fire properties increase significantly, but coming out of that hot fire pit, the hot air felt cool.
Yuwon turned his head to Son Goku, who was waiting outside with Bagua.
“Let’s do a favor.”
“OK.”
Mongeul-.
A white cloud appeared in front of Yuwon.
And the moment he confirmed it, Yuwon’s body felt relieved.
* * *
It was a pretty deep sleep.
Yuwon, who always took a light nap with his eyes half-open in case of unexpected situations, fell asleep for the first time in a long time without realizing how time had passed.
So time passed.
“Are you awake?”
Grrrr-.
Yuwon woke up and made eye contact with King Uma, who was making tea in his room.
“How are you feeling?”
“That’s not what you’re asking me now.”
Hearing the correct words, Yuwon raised his upper body and nodded.
I was wondering how well King Uma’s body had recovered, but he was the one who lost consciousness and woke up.
“I’m fine. “I wasn’t hurt anywhere.”
“know. “I was in that fire pit for over 20 days without sleep, so it’s not like I could sleep.”
Dalkak-.
Mawang U put down the teapot and gave the tea we had just made to Yuwon.
“Drink. “Your head will become clearer and you will wake up.”
“thank you.”
While Yuwon took the teacup and drank, King Uma started brewing another cup of tea.
“My body is fine. “I’m almost recovered now.”
“Almost doesn’t mean perfect, does it?”
“not much left.”
Deed deed-.
The teacup containing Yuwon trembled.
The demon king’s magic began to fill the room beyond his control. The magic seeped into the ground, as well as the room the two people were in, shaking the atmosphere.
Knock-.
“Aren’t you too excited?”
Yuwon asked while looking at the cracked teacup, and only then did Uma King startle and withdraw his magic power.
“…I’m sorry.”
“You don’t even need to apologize.”
Knock-.
Tea water leaked out through a crack in the teacup. Yuwon drank the hot tea in one gulp and placed the broken teacup on the nightstand next to the bed.
“Just be careful about running right away. As I said before, you have to be in the best condition to win this fight.”
“I know. “I’m not the youngest, so don’t worry too much.”
Yuwon nodded to King Uma’s answer.
Actually, I just brought it up out of curiosity and wasn’t really worried about it.
Even though he was so impatient that it was difficult to capture it, King Uma was making tea at home. I didn’t think he would make such a rash move.
‘I’m glad that this is different from Son Goku.’
Relieved by King Uma’s answer, Yuwon got up from the bed.
“Is it okay if I move right away?”
“It doesn’t matter. “After a good night’s sleep, I feel like I’m flying.”
“okay?”
Umawang turned his head and looked out the window.
“It looks like he’s already waiting for you.”
“yes.”
Kiing-.
Likewise, a golden air flow was present in Yuwon’s eyes as he followed the gaze of King Uma.
[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ is activated.]
[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ resonates.]
“The same goes for me.”
“I heard the story, but… it’s amazing to see those eyes like this.”
King Uma looked at Yuwon, who had Hwaan Geumjeong eyes, with a curious expression.
Outside, I could feel the gaze of countless Son Goku. And among them, there was one who was especially showing his presence towards Yuwon.
“Are you planning on dealing with me?”
“That’s right.”
“He’s a poor guy. I’m counting on you.”
King Uma said that and comforted Yuwon’s shoulder.
Yuwon opened the door and came out of the cabin.
OK.
Jump and jump -.
One Son Goku followed Yuwon’s footsteps and walked towards him.
“You said you knew my true nature, right?”
He probably heard the story about Yuwon from the twelfth clone.
Yuwon nodded. Even though the eyes I got this time were not from Foresight, for some reason I felt like I could clearly see what the clone in front of me was going to say.
“Then you know my personality well… “There is no need to say much.”
The corners of Son Goku’s mouth went up as if something would catch his ear.
It’s difficult to keep my body still, so my shoulders shake, I squeeze my itchy hands, and I stamp my feet.
The reaction is that it is so fun that it cannot be tolerated.
‘They definitely look alike.’
Yuwon had seen Son Goku look like that many times.
‘The most with that guy.’
Whirling-.
Goku took out a female baton from behind his back and twirled it in one hand.
“I want to fight you.”
He raised his spirit and aimed the tip of his baton at Yuwon.
“Let’s have a game with me.”
Hwareuk-.
Son Goku’s first alter ego.
The strongest alter ego challenged Yuwon to a fight.
