Chapter 570

**Chapter 570. The Lazy one, Getting into Shape (5)**

“…Will he be alright?”

“What do we know?”

“He looks like he’s going to die.”

“Yeah, he might.”

The Master of Divine Abilities (신기수) looked at Wei Jeonghan with empty eyes. Wei Jeonghan shrugged his shoulders. Seeing his reaction, the Master nodded silently.

*’No wonder the kid turned out so twisted.’*

Parents are the mirror of their children. Raised under such an incompetent person, how could he have grown up straight?

If this is what he has seen and learned, it was inevitable that he would end up like this.

*’And I, like an idiot, praised and supported him.’*

Regret flooded him to the point of feeling a pain in his chest. He thought he was an excellent disciple: obedient, manly, and full of chivalrous spirit. Who could have imagined that his parents would be so disastrous?

*’It’s understandable that the Demon Cult (마교) is furious and wants to attack.’*

Raising the precious heir of the Great Demon King under such a person… If the Guardians of the Demon Cult knew that Wei Sanho grew up under his tutelage, they would foam with rage and hunt him down to kill him. Well, maybe they already are.

As he pondered, the image of Wei Yanho was etched in his mind.

*’Will he really be alright?’*

Wei Yanho’s body was cracking with a *crack-crack* sound. It was the first time he had seen someone’s body crack like that. The only somewhat positive thing was that no poison was coming out of the cracks… if that could be considered a good thing.

Seeing Wei Yanho’s completely distorted face, he could feel the immense pain he was enduring.

Glup!

Wei Yanho’s mouth opened, and a stream of dark red blood began to flow.

“Ah!”

Without realizing it, the Master took a step forward. But before he could advance further, Wei Jeonghan grabbed his shoulder.

“He can’t do it.”

“……”

Wei Jeonghan’s hand was trembling slightly.

The Master couldn’t say anything.

Appearances are deceiving. How could his heart not be trembling? Seeing his son suffer so much, going through something like this…

“Even if he doesn’t say it, he’s someone who values those around him. If someone dies because of clumsy interference, he won’t be able to forgive himself in his entire life.”

“T- that much?”

“Well, to be honest, maybe three days?”

“……”

Isn’t that too much honesty?

Wei Jeonghan twisted his lips into what was intended to be a smile, but his eyes didn’t follow the gesture, leaving his face in a strange expression, between laughter and tears.

“Sometimes it frustrates me not being able to help as a father, but we have to accept reality. The only thing we can do is not get in the way.”

“Mmm…”

The Master of Divine Abilities let out a sigh.

“But if something goes wrong…”

“That won’t happen.”

Wei Jeonghan looked at Wei Yanho firmly.

“If heaven has entrusted a great mission to that boy, it won’t take him in a place like this. Look at him. Above his head is a clear sky…”

Boooom!

A lightning bolt struck.

In the distance, black clouds began to gather.

“……”

“……”

Wei Jeonghan and the Master looked at the sky in silence and then looked back down at Wei Yanho.

“The sky?”

“……”

“What about the sky?”

“… It seems not.”

Wei Jeonghan’s face filled with worry.

“So, what do we do now?”

“Damn it, you damn bastard!”

The Master of Divine Abilities kicked Wei Jeonghan in the side.

“Uagh!”

Wei Jeonghan rolled on the ground.

“You’re not helping, you’re not helping…”

Zuuuum!

“Ah, damn! There’s no time for anything.”

The Master of Divine Abilities, irritated, looked towards Wei Yanho.

“Really, you have no limits!”

Wei Yanho’s body began to rise into the air. Sitting in a lotus position, he was soon enveloped in a dazzling glow.

He didn’t even have the strength to be surprised anymore.

The Master of Divine Abilities simply dropped to the ground. It wasn’t that his legs had given way, but that he had accepted that things would follow their course. No matter how much he tried to control the situation, he had to admit it: the events here had surpassed any level he could handle.

It was a festival of the incomprehensible and the absurd.

Zuuuuuum!

Wei Yanho’s body was enveloped in a blinding light.

Crack. Crack-crack.

Then, a sound like something breaking was heard repeatedly.

Plaf!

“God…”

Although the Master of Divine Abilities had already given up on everything, even he couldn’t help but open his eyes wide. Something had fallen to the ground, and upon looking closely, it was Wei Yanho’s face.

*His face?*

Damn it, why is his face falling off! His face!

The Master of Divine Abilities focused his energy to better observe what had fallen.

*Is that seriously his face?*

To be exact, it was the skin of his face, or should I say the epidermis?

Is his skin falling off?

Crack-crack.

With a sound as if something was being torn off by force, pieces of skin detached from Wei Yanho’s body and fell to the ground. Then, his entire skeleton began to twist as if it were being reorganized.

“Eh, I mean…”

The Master of Divine Abilities narrowed his eyes.

He hadn’t seen this before, but it sounded familiar. What was it called?

“*Hwangol Taltae* (Bone Rebirth)?”

Yes, that was it.

Wei Jeonghan, who had suddenly sat up, muttered in a weak voice:

“That damn bastard is throwing away the precious body that his parents gave him.”

“……”

*This guy is crazy.*

The Master of Divine Abilities promised himself that, if by some miracle this war ended well, he would strip Wei Jeonghan of all his titles and exile him to Guangdong.

The light intensified.

Soon, Wei Yanho’s body was completely covered by a blinding glow.

The Master of Divine Abilities watched the scene in astonishment.

*’Maybe this is a scene that will be forever etched in the history of the martial world.’*

And perhaps the beginning of the legend that Wei Yanho would create.

Although the situation was still serious, seeing what Wei Yanho was showing now, wasn’t it valid to have hope?

Just when he thought that…

KABOOOOOOOM!

Suddenly, a deafening explosion rumbled. But no one was surprised anymore. After everything they had experienced today, one more explosion was nothing.

The earth trembled as if there were an earthquake, but everyone took it calmly.

If a lightning bolt fell in front of them, they would probably just ignore it. Or maybe they would look for something to roast.

But this time, there was a clear change.

The light disappeared in an instant, and in its place, Wei Yanho was now sitting on the ground in a lotus position, with his eyes closed.

“……”

At least he was alive.

But something prevented them from approaching easily. It was as if an aura was shining behind him.

*Is this how something that transcends the human feels?*

With an impassive face and in a lotus position, Wei Yanho seemed like a completely different person. The laziness and playful air that always characterized him had disappeared, giving him a distinct aura.

*Gulp.*

The Master of Divine Abilities swallowed unconsciously.

But not everyone was as tense as he was.

“Hey, are you okay?”

Jangil approached Wei Yanho with nonchalance.

“I mean, are you okay or not?!”

*’This lunatic…’*

Why wasn’t there a single sane person here? They just needed to act with normality and common sense. Was that so difficult?

He no longer knew if the problem was them or him for not fitting in.

“Hey, Wei Yan—”

Flash!

At that moment, Wei Yanho opened his eyes, and a dazzling, almost blinding light emanated from them.

Even Jangil, who was always unperturbed, was startled.

“… Are you okay?”

Wei Yanho slowly turned his head towards Jangil. A gentle smile appeared on his lips.

Even Jangil seemed to notice that something was different about the Wei Yanho he knew, taking a step back with a confused expression.

*What’s different?*

It wasn’t so much strangeness as discordance.

That expression didn’t fit Wei Yanho. How to describe it? Along with the aura that seemed to radiate, it conveyed an inexplicable holiness.

As if at any moment he would proclaim himself the one and only under the heavens.

Wei Yanho, who had been staring at Jangil, smiled even more gently and slowly opened his mouth.

“Ah…”

“Ah?”

“Ah…”

“Ah?”

“I almost died.”

“……”

Wei Yanho’s body slumped to the side. With his head against the ground, he muttered weakly:

“I seriously thought I would die. This time I thought there was no escape! Agh, I’m crazy! What the hell happened to me to do something so crazy? You have to know how to live simply! I’m crazy! Crazy!”

Jangil nodded with a satisfied smile.

*’That’s more like him.’*

The holiness vanished in an instant.

The guy in front of them was, without a doubt, Wei Yanho. All the discordance and strangeness disappeared.

“Hey, did you get more… smooth?”

“It’s because all my skin fell off.”

“Did you really go through the *Hwangol Taltae*?”

“I’m not sure.”

Jangil tilted his head.

“From the way you look, it seems like it, but…”

He looked closely at Wei Yanho’s face and put on an expression of disbelief.

“… but your face is still the same. From what I know, the *Hwangol Taltae* makes you more handsome.”

“Where did you hear that nonsense? *Ugh*.”

Wei Yanho sat up with difficulty.

He had no strength. His legs were shaking. Although he had recovered some energy in the end, rebuilding his body was no easy task. He needed to rest for real.

Wei Yanho staggered towards the Master of Divine Abilities.

“Everything is resolved.”

“……”

“Hehe.”

“……”

It was… strange.

The Master of Divine Abilities looked at him with an uncomfortable expression. Wei Yanho was making the face of a puppy bringing back a bone.

That reaction was like…

*Does he want me to praise him?*

It seemed to be the case.

Although he understood his psychology, for some reason, he didn’t feel like giving him what he wanted. If he had remained silent, maybe he would have praised him, but being so obvious, he felt Lazy.

*’I’m also becoming bad.’*

The Master of Divine Abilities let out a mocking laugh.

*’I should praise him a thousand times.’*

After all, he had achieved something incredible.

He saved the Central Plains from an imminent crisis. How could he not give him a simple compliment? He was willing to give him gold or anything he desired within reason.

“Yes, you did very we—”

BOOOOOOOM!

Suddenly, the Master of Divine Abilities’ eyelid twitched.

A lightning bolt?

No.

An earthquake?

Neither.

It was the sound of the Righteous Martial Alliance (정무맹) headquarters, which after enduring countless battles and tremors, finally collapsed. The ten-story building collapsed like a sandcastle hit by a wave.

The creaking of wood, the sound of things falling, the screams of the spectators… All the sounds mixed in a chaos.

CRASH! BOOM!

A cloud of dust rose above the rubble.

“……”

The Master of Divine Abilities looked at the collapsed building and then, with a satisfied smile, said to Wei Yanho:

“… Youu～ did well.”

Very weeeell.

You damn bastard.
