The World's Greatest Troublemaker

Chapter 133

"I came to take my mother."

Mok Wigun quietly looked at Mok Wipyong. He had changed a lot. The chubby flesh was all gone, and the always-fidgeting appearance was nowhere to be found.

"You must not know what you've done to me..."

"I know. But you must know too. That my mother was just used by them."

"Hmm..."

It's not wrong. Because Lady Jang was just dragged around by the two of them.

"I heard you let Baek Seokhu go today. So please let my mother go too."

"Do you think I let him go out of goodwill?"

No. Letting Baek Seokhu go was pushing him into danger. Keeping Lady Jang was to protect her, if anything.

Do you think the Huashan Sect will just stand by? Such a big incident has occurred, and the leadership has been replaced. In times like these, the best way to renew the atmosphere is to purge the traitors.

"I know that too. But it can't be comfortable for her to be here. I hope you'll let her go at this point."

"What if she causes such trouble again?"

"She doesn't have the strength to do that. Now we have to worry about making a living."

Lady Jang had put in most of her remaining assets this time. But since things had turned out this way, she was truly ruined.

"And I'll make sure she doesn't have any foolish thoughts. I promise."

Mok Wipyong's promise. In the past, he would have ignored it. Because it wasn't even worth thinking about. But the current Mok Wipyong had really changed a lot. The weight of life was felt in his words.

"Since you say it's a promise, I'll believe you. But if you get involved in such a thing again, it won't end lightly then."

"Alright. And thank you."

Mok Wigun called a person and had them bring Lady Jang. Lady Jang was in a very haggard state.

If it were her usual self, she would have been fiercely rampaging, but her former appearance was nowhere to be found. Only the appearance of a tired and weakened middle-aged woman was visible.

"I'll give you a piece of advice. It would be better to leave as soon as possible. Without meeting anyone, quickly."

"I have to meet Baek Jangju before I go."

Lady Jang still hadn't come to her senses. Well, when you're in a bad situation, things tend to get worse.

"Just go. Mother. There's nothing good about meeting that person."

Lady Jang, who would have nagged in all sorts of ways in the past. But she nodded, saying she understood.

"It's better to go as far away as possible."

"Alright."

Mok Wipyong left that word and then left with his mother. Mok Wigun told Dan Bulseok to take a few people and carefully follow them.

Fortunately, nothing special happened. It would be fine once they got out of this vicinity. Besides, Baek Seokhu was the problem, and Lady Jang was really just a sidekick.

"Manor Lord. They say Baek Seokhu is dead."

The next day, the news was delivered. He knew it would turn out this way. Come to think of it, a lot had changed since he had first come here.

The manor lords of the Mok family and the Baek family, who were said to be the strongest forces, were missing or dead. The Jin family and the Jang family, the other two pillars of the Mok family, had also almost fallen. The Huashan Sect had also suffered considerable damage.

"Manor Lord. Do you know what I heard when I went out today?"

Gu Mungoe approached with a grin and said.

"What did you hear?"

"They say the Demon Dragon Manor is the hegemon of the Western Academy region."

Well, you could see it that way. Now that the Huashan Sect has been greatly weakened, there will be no place as strong as the Demon Dragon Manor. But not yet. Because the Huashan Sect is not completely ruined.

"If you get carried away and get on people's lips, you'll get double the training."

"Aigo. Would we do that?"

Gu Mungoe waved his hand with a laugh.

“You’re the most unstable! This won’t do. From today on, the Light Wind Unit will train too.”

"No. What are you talking about?"

Gu Mungoe ran away. He ran out and bumped into So Jeonghak, who was practicing, and fell. Mok Wigun smiled as he watched the scene.

Light Wind Unit, Zhongnan Sect. It seemed he had finally found a proper family.

* * *

The Heavenly Martial Arts Assembly's Western Academy preliminaries produced a result that no one had expected. The Huashan Sect, which was the strongest, was eliminated in the sect battle, and the two top masters were all eliminated in the individual competition.

Gyojin was eliminated by Gwak Wol, and Guyeohae withdrew due to an injury he had sustained in the sect battle with Pung Chosan.

"We have advanced in the sect battle, and three people have advanced in the individual competition, so this is a really great achievement."

Jeung Yakcheon shed tears.

"Why are you crying on a good day? And it's just the beginning."

Pung Chosan said. He's right. For the Zhongnan Sect, it was just the beginning from now on.

"From now on, we have to prepare for the main tournament."

At Mok Wigun's words, everyone avoided his gaze. It seemed they all wanted to rest a little. Of course, they would rest for a day or two. But it was not a time to be completely at ease.

There was a little time until the main tournament. There was about a month left. But considering the travel, there wasn't much time.

"The Northern Academy and the Southern Academy are nothing special."

There, Shaolin and Wudang are in firm control. And the Outer Academy had no leading force. Because it was a collection of mediocre forces.

"Still, the ones that stand out are Emei and Kunlun, right?"

But compared to other times, it wasn't to the extent of being special. What everyone was paying attention to was the Western Academy. In particular, everyone was curious about the strength of Zhongnan.

"For now, it's a relief that this tournament is held near Mount Wudang. Because it's closer than Mount Song."

The Western Academy is a little better. The Outer Academy has to run as soon as the tournament is over. Only then can they barely arrive at the main tournament venue in time.

"We'll rest for about two days to reorganize and then leave right away."

"Pardon? Can't we rest for about a week?"

So Jeonghak said.

"It doesn't take long to get there from here."

Besides, didn't they work hard enough and do well in this tournament? So let's rest a little. That's what he was saying. Mok Wigun dismissed it.

"I'll let you rest after the main tournament is over. Not until then. It's tight just preparing for this stage now."

At the words 'this stage', everyone's eyes changed. Because through this tournament, they had experienced how powerful the stage that Mok Wigun had told them about was.

"I don't need to rest."

Gwak Wol said.

"No. You rest for three days. You need to rest a little."

Gwak Wol was very tired. It's always like this. The guy who needs to rest says he'll do it, and the guy who needs to train says he wants to rest.

"I'm saying this because it seems you guys are mistaken, so listen carefully."

The guys don't know. How important rest is.

"A martial artist must always maintain the best condition. Then what is the best condition?"

No one answered. Of course. Because they had never thought about such a thing.

"The best condition also depends on the situation. A person who is in the middle of learning and a person who has reached a mature stage cannot be the same."

Mok Wigun said that they were now in the stage of growing.

"To become the best martial artist, you have to be regular. There is nothing more frightening than what accumulates every day."

This time, it was a very special situation, so he had forcibly raised their skills.

"This kind of training is bound to cause problems. Gwak Wol's condition is like that now, and the rest are the same. Side effects will appear in some way."

"So you're saying we should forget the way we've done it so far."

Jang Sogun said. Thank you for understanding. There are guys who still don't know what he's talking about, but if you understand and sort it out like this, it's a real help from the speaker's point of view.

"Yes. That's why I said to rest for about two days. And after that, you will train according to the framework I have set."

"So what is the best condition?"

Mok Wigun emphasized.

"The optimal condition for training. Both physically and mentally."

"Ah. So that's why rest is important."

This time, Won Gagyeol said. The guy had become much more active than before. He was a guy who was always dispirited, but now he often expresses his opinion.

"Rest is not just simply resting. It is a process of restoring the body and mind to the best state for receiving training. Do you know how important that is?"

Everyone was amazed. It's natural, since there would have been no one who explained rest in this way.

"So you also have to find a resting method that suits you. That's why I'm trying to leave early."

"Ah. Since the speed will be slow if we train while moving, that's why."

Gwak Wol said happily.

"Yes. Although I said the distance is not far, we will train and rest at a set time while moving."

And in line with the main tournament, he would raise their skills even more than now. He had no intention of being satisfied at this level. He would cause a sensation in the main tournament as well.

* * *

Rest passes in an instant. As soon as the rest was over, Mok Wigun checked the disciples' condition. And while preparing to participate in the main tournament, if there were any problems, he fixed those parts.

Gwak Wol was mentally too stressed, so he induced her to relax a little. The other children were also given treatment that suited their respective circumstances.

"Alright. The training itself won't be difficult."

The training he had done before was to raise them in a short period of time, so it would have felt harder. The training from now on is not to that extent.

Of course, to others, the current training would also be amazing. But to the disciples who had experienced something harder, it was not a very difficult training.

"Um. Can I stop by my house on the way?"

So Jeonghak asked. So Jeonghak's house was on the way to Mount Wudang.

"Since it's on the way, it should be fine."

And so, it was decided to move via So Jeonghak's house. But suddenly, Pyon Juksu ran over and pulled Mok Wigun's hand.

"Hey. Hey. I think I've really got it this time."

"What?"

"The elixir. The elixir."

Mok Wigun sighed.

'Do I have to be fooled again?'

This wasn't the first or second time. He had continuously experimented with the medicinal herbs he had brought from the Folding Snow Valley and had kept making strange things. And the subject of those experiments was Mok Wigun.

"What is it this time?"

"No. This one is real."

The elixir for increasing internal energy. The one he had made before was very stable, but the effect was too insignificant. To the extent that the medicinal herbs that had gone into it were a waste.

Since he was in a hurry, he had used it, but the amount of internal energy that had actually increased was extremely small. So he had told him to research mainly for internal energy, but the result was not very good.

"If it's a strange thing this time too, I'm really going to cut off your research funds."

"Don't worry. Have you ever seen me talk nonsense?"

Seeing him so excited, it seemed that something really good had come out.

"And why do you always make something like this right before we leave?"

"Hey. It's because I was able to make it this time. You know my skills, right?"

Well, whatever the case, it's good as long as he made it. Mok Wigun followed Pyon Juksu.
