Radiant Dragon’s Otherworldly Reincarnation

Vol 2 Chapter 20. Eing, It’s the End of the World. End of the World (2)

Watching Mun Yul with a gloomy expression, Patrick thought.

‘Is it time to need motivation?’

Patrick also knows.

If he really intends to make him Number One Under Heaven, there is a limit to forced training alone.

Passion and determination to achieve it himself are needed.

Although the triggers are different, those who reached the peak in the history of the Jianghu were all those who had such craving.

Patrick opened his mouth calmly.

“Among my friends….”

“…….”

“There is a guy named Stew.”

It’s Matthew.

“Who is that person?”

“A stupid guy who insisted on grabbing the sword despite being born with a silver spoon as the son of a great merchant.”

“…….”

“Thinking about it, he is a funny guy. Why a guy with so much money was so desperate to live by the sword.”

“…….”

“But what’s funnier was that this guy had not even a speck of talent in the sword.”

“Like me?”

“Much less than you. He is a guy who almost cut off his own toe while swinging a sword.”

“…….”

Mun Yul, slightly interested, focused on Patrick’s words. And Patrick continued.

“People usually end up doing what they are good at. Because if you are good, it’s fun.”

“…….”

“And if it’s fun, you continue doing it. Whether martial arts or academics, that is the way of thinking of ordinary people.”

“…….”

“But he chose the sword despite having no talent at all and devoted his best to it.”

“…….”

“And somehow he entered the Academy, but he was so weak that getting beaten by peers was daily life.”

“Such….”

“Because that was pitiful, I taught him the sword personally. Thanks to that, Stew became quite strong.”

“How strong did he become? Perhaps as much as Bong-gong….”

“Ey, that’s going too far. Nowhere near.”

“…….”

“Still well…. He became enough to be called a first-rate master wherever placed. This is true.”

“…….”

Mun Yul’s face became gloomy.

In the end, the limit a person without talent can reach with only will is that much.

The reality is there is a wall that cannot be crossed with effort.

And Patrick also thought so.

“I thought that much was his limit. However….”

“However?”

“When I was in crisis. That moment when even the strong people of the continent dared not step forward.”

“…….”

“The one who blocked the strong enemy showing his back in front of me was my friend Stew.”

I said Matthew.

‘Even thinking now, it’s absurd.’

Patrick smirked.

At that time, Patrick had accepted defeat and given up everything. But….

[Matthew Ryan.]

Matthew stepped forward.

And standing confidently in front of the Heavenly Demon, he drew his sword and said.

[I am this guy’s friend.]

Matthew at that time far exceeded Patrick’s expectations.

He surpassed his limit with will and showed something beyond skill.

Matthew’s sword didn’t reach the Heavenly Demon, but it raised Patrick again, who had given up everything and fallen.

Thanks to that, Patrick could also defeat the Heavenly Demon.

The man Patrick thought had not a speck of talent consequently saved the strongest in the continent, Patrick.

“Don’t run away with the word talent.”

“…….”

“If you feel yourself shabby, stop comparing yourself with others. Focus every day solely on surpassing the self of yesterday.”

“…….”

“That is the life of a martial artist.”

At Patrick’s words, Mun Yul hesitated and opened his mouth.

“If I do that, can a guy like me also become strong?”

“Of course.”

“Then I will try.”

Mun Yul still didn’t think he would become Number One Under Heaven.

But as Bong-gong said, if there is a way even for someone with not a speck of talent to become strong….

‘I want to try too.’

For the first time, Mun Yul harbored a desire to become strong himself.

He was reborn as a martial artist.

* * *

“It’s good that he has enthusiasm….”

Late at night.

Patrick came out to the backyard of the manor alone and said.

“As expected, realistic problems cannot be just ignored.”

Enthusiasm to become strong oneself is most important.

This is true.

But if one could become Number One Under Heaven with just enthusiasm, everyone and their dog would have done it.

[That is not what I mean, is it? Realistically, there are geniuses lined up like stars in the world and they have been preparing and making efforts since much longer ago than me.]

Right. Among what Mun Yul said today, this hits the core most.

Prodigies of Mun Yul’s age training in huge sects have already grown receiving support in an abundant environment.

‘Starting from Marrow Cleansing and Acupoint Opening, they must grow while munching on various spiritual medicines.’

“Tsk, it is unfair.”

Especially the part called spiritual medicine reveals a big difference.

The influence of high and low internal energy on a martial artist’s capability is significant.

So huge sects mobilize immense financial power and connections to obtain spiritual medicines and manufacture spiritual pills.

But the Twin Dragon Sect has no such funds and no alchemy method to manufacture spiritual pills.

This inevitably becomes a big obstacle for the sect to grow.

“Can’t leave it like that.”

Where dare they, discourage my descendants just because they have some spiritual pills? If he could endure seeing that, he wasn’t Patrick Schneider.

“Sona-ya. Are you ready?”

“Ready, but….”

Persona looked at Patrick with an uncomfortable expression and said.

“Are you really going to do it?”

“Then should I do it fake?”

Persona made a sullen expression.

Because the act Patrick intends to do now was something she couldn’t understand at all by her standards. But….

“Are you really okay?”

“Yeah. Just do it quickly.”

As long as her Master Patrick says he wants it, Persona couldn’t refuse this order.

To her, Patrick is the benefactor who helped her clan’s revenge, the teacher who taught her the path of martial arts, and the guide who opened the way for her to ascend to godhood.

Although she ticks off usually, Persona was ready to obey unconditionally regardless of good or evil if it was a sincere order from Patrick.

Such she brought her hand to Patrick’s chest. Then….

“Extracting.”

Saying so, the hand touching Patrick’s chest slowly fell away.

And a small seed shining with golden light came out of Patrick’s chest.

A part of the godhood Patrick obtained a long time ago.

It was precisely the Seed of the World Tree.

Patrick received the Seed of the World Tree from Persona and brought it straight to the ground.

The Seed of the World Tree touching the ground permeated like water.

“Now just infuse divine power.”

“Right. Understood.”

As Patrick infused divine power as Persona said, the Seed of the World Tree sprouted from the ground. Then….

Duduk…. Dudududududuk!

That sprout grew at a tremendous speed.

The seed just planted grew in an instant.

Into a giant tree that looked to be a thousand years old.

“Done. That’s enough now!”

As Persona stopped him hurriedly, Patrick stopped infusing divine power.

“Huuuu…. This divine power thing, I just can’t get used to it.”

Wiping sweat from his forehead and catching his breath, Patrick looked clearly like he overdid it after a long time.

Persona looked at Patrick with a sullen expression.

“What are you dissatisfied with again?”

“Master. What on earth does the Twin Dragon Sect mean to you?”

“Why ask suddenly?”

“Just now, Master gave up the Seed of the World Tree. That is a giant seed capable of supporting the axis of the world and a treasure among treasures that even those who have already ascended to godhood would covet.”

“So?”

“Isn’t it a waste? Really not even a little?”

“I wondered what.”

Patrick smirked.

Those who reached godhood all want to raise their divine status and become higher gods.

To such people, the World Tree would be a precious treasure. But to Patrick….

“Forget it. I have no interest in such things.”

“Master.”

“You asked me what the Twin Dragon Sect is to me?”

Patrick smiled.

To Patrick, the Twin Dragon Sect is….

“It is like your clan to you.”

“…….”

“I mean family. Would this kind of tree be a waste?”

At Patrick’s words, Persona was silent.

Of course, her clan is precious to her too. She is the Lord and the children of the clan haven’t even become adults yet. But….

‘Could I do the same for my clan?’

She is also an existence who built up godhood.

Therefore she knows.

The overwhelming fulfillment and ecstatic satisfaction filled by ascending to godhood.

It was like a drug.

Once ascended to godhood, an existence never tries to give up their divine power and doesn’t hesitate to covet others’ godhood to ascend to a higher godhood.

But Patrick gave up the World Tree too easily.

How can he do that?

No matter how she thought, the answer was one.

‘Master has no right to curse the Grandmaster or Grand Duke Schneider.’

Because he is a bigger sucker than them.

* * *

The next day.

The disciples of the Twin Dragon Sect dropped their jaws.

“What is this?”

“It’s a tree?”

“No, I know it’s a tree, but why is a tree here? It wasn’t here just yesterday?”

“Didn’t they plant it?”

“Is this some weed? How do you plant this?”

What was in front of their eyes was a huge giant tree that seemed to have easily withstood a thousand years.

This giant tree, visible from anywhere in Tianshui County, appeared in the backyard of the sect overnight.

It is natural for normal people with common sense to be flustered.

“Yaaawn. Why are you all gathered like that?”

And the human who is like the incarnation of nonsensicality came out yawning long.

At that moment, they realized reflexively.

They didn’t know how, but there was only one human who would do such a thing.

“Bong-gong. Did you wake up?”

“Ah, Sect Leader, good morning.”

To Sect Leader Go Seok-hyeon who maintained manners even in this situation, Patrick greeted back.

And Sect Leader Go Seok-hyeon said.

“Did Bong-gong bring and plant this tree?”

“Yes. I planted it yesterday evening when everyone else was sleeping.”

“Hoho….”

Go Seok-hyeon was dumbfounded.

The fact that he really planted such a giant tree overnight was surprising.

But since it came to this, he became curious about something else.

“Is there a reason you planted this giant tree in the backyard? It seems too huge for a landscaping tree.”

“Ah, it’s nothing special, but I intend to make this the Divine Item of our Twin Dragon Sect.”

“Divine Item?”

Sect Leader Go Seok-hyeon gazed steadily at the tree.

Divine items of sects vary.

From things people carry around like the Green Jade Buddha Staff of Shaolin or the Taiji Divine Sword of Wudang Sect, some sects take unique terrains or spiritual items as the sect’s divine item.

In that sense, this tree visible in front of eyes….

“It is good. The tree’s momentum is magnificent, truly reliable.”

It wasn’t bad.

No, it looked very good.

It was a marvelous tree that felt reliable and somewhat warm just looking at it.

Patrick said to such Sect Leader Go Seok-hyeon.

“This is not just an ornamental tree good for looking.”

“Yes.”

“Try doing energy cultivation sitting under the tree.”

At Patrick’s words, Go Seok-hyeon did as told for now.

‘Since Bong-gong is asking, there must be a reason.’

The moment he started energy cultivation and took the first breath.

‘How can this be?’

Go Seok-hyeon was startled.

The basis of energy cultivation is drawing nature’s qi into the body through breathing.

Although detailed methods vary by sect, basically energy cultivation was such a thing. But….

‘What kind of….’

The energy coming in through breathing was different, too different.

What is this refreshing and vigorous energy?

Go Seok-hyeon soon fell into a state of selflessness.

And when he opened his eyes after doing energy cultivation frantically….

“Huuuuu….”

What Go Seok-hyeon saw were disciples looking at him with adorable eyes.

“Master. Are you okay?”

“Is there anything uncomfortable?”

“We worried. You didn’t answer even when called….”

At the concerned words of the disciples, Go Seok-hyeon smiled and said.

“No, I am fine. Rather….”

Go Seok-hyeon marveled feeling his body condition.

“My body condition is very good.”

Even feeling it himself, his body condition changed significantly.

Not only did the size of his dantian become noticeably larger, but the energy itself had changed into clear and clean energy.

Originally, he had failed while attempting the Twin Dragons Heaven and Earth Primordial Heart Law, and his dantian was broken and split into a 9 to 1 state left and right.

Patrick somehow corrected it and recovered it to about 7 to 3, but it wasn’t completely recovered yet. However….

“Hoho…. To see such a miracle.”

With one energy cultivation, the energy of the dantian perfectly regained balance to 5 to 5.

Furthermore, turbidity in the meridians of the whole body disappeared completely, and vitality overflowed in the body.

To the marveling Go Seok-hyeon, Patrick said.

“How is it? It’s not just a good-looking ornamental tree, is it?”

“Bong-gong.”

“From now on, this is the Divine Item of our sect.”

It was the moment when a Divine Item was created for the first time in the long history of the Twin Dragon Sect.
