Episode 765: Why am I not qualified?
The moment all the strong men of the So tribe became silent, people from within the So tribe began to come out one after another and surround them.
Yongjin opened his mouth when he saw them.
“Consumption is still a child. I don’t know why you are pressuring Consumption, but if my guess is correct, Consumption has enormous potential. That’s why Consumption was appointed as the next chief.”
People turned their heads in surprise and looked at the chieftain and the elders.
The old chief nodded slightly.
“Yes, that’s right. There is a great power within Sobi’s body. If that power were to be unleashed, our tribe would have the strongest person since the closure of Mangoro. But unfortunately… Hmm.”
The old chief sighed as he spoke. The elders’ faces darkened. They had to pressure So-bi for some unavoidable reason.
Sobi was still a first-class celestial practitioner. If he did not awaken to a third-class celestial practitioner at the age of sixteen, he would remain a first-class celestial practitioner for the rest of his life.
Because the spirit energy of the time of sentencing remains in Mangoro, the children here automatically awaken as Celestial Beings when they turn nine. However, generally, only about one out of ten thousand first-class Celestial Beings awakens as a second-class Celestial Being.
However, Sobi’s father was a third-rank heavenly practitioner of fear. Sobi was his only son, and inherited his father’s bloodline, and had a terrifying power hidden within his body. Once awakened, he would definitely become a third-rank heavenly practitioner.
For the natives, the third rank of the heavenly practitioner was the extreme of practice, because the natives could not break through the fourth rank due to some law that existed in the past.
But as time passed and he grew older, Sobi showed no signs of awakening. The power within his body seemed to be in a deep sleep. People became anxious.
The more this happened, the more pressure was placed on Sobi. He thought that if he applied pressure, his power might awaken. However, Sobi was fifteen years old and had no hope of awakening to the third rank of the Heavenly Traveler. Even if he was second rank, let alone third rank, everyone would have been satisfied.
In fact, all the elders were worried about Sobi. When Sobi suddenly went to collect the Seven Stars Manchuria Flower, they were angry because they were afraid that Sobi would have an unexpected accident.
“You don’t want to be the future chieftain? Okay, then you can choose the next chieftain in front of the old chieftain today.”
Sogo suddenly said.
Sogo’s intentions were very clear. Although all the younger generation of the So tribe were first-class celestial practitioners, Sogo was the strongest among them. The only one who could overwhelm him was So-ryeong, but the So tribe had never had a precedent for electing a female chieftain.
“You don’t have to choose, you don’t deserve it.”
Yongjin said with a laugh.
“Stop talking nonsense, why am I not qualified?”
Sogo got very angry.
“First, you are cruel and act as you please. You are a typical tyrant. Second, you are selfish and ruthless. Sobi is the son of the previous generation’s chieftain, and his father died in battle for the So tribe. But you take advantage of this opportunity to harm poor Sobi in order to become the future chieftain. Third, a chieftain should be compassionate and risk his life to protect his family. Sobi would not even spare his life for his family, do you have the courage to do so? The fourth and most important reason is that your skills are far inferior to Sobi’s.”
Yongjin said, tsk tsk tsk as if to say, “You can’t do that.”
People who had been nodding their heads to the reasons Yongjin gave looked like they couldn’t understand the last reason.
Sogo was a strong man in the latter half of the damage. Like Sobi, he was a first-class celestial warrior, but Sogo’s fighting ability was strong. No one in the same class could subdue him. But compared to Sobi, he was weaker. Isn’t that what Yongjin said?
The old chief watched silently and quietly. The white-eyed old man behind the chief did not say a word the whole time. His white eyes did not move at all.
“You idiot, you think my skills are inferior to Sobi’s? If you don’t believe my skills, then let’s fight. The loser will lose his title as chieftain.”
Sogo let out a sneer.
Even if he wins over Sobi this time, he will not become a chieftain.
But if we first eliminate consumption, there will be no one in the younger generation to catch up with him, so the position of patriarch will naturally become his, and he will not incur the people’s resentment.
“I never wanted to be a chieftain in the first place. If you want to be a chieftain, then you do it. I…”
Consumption said.
“Brother, that’s not true. The position of the chieftain is like a peach. If you don’t eat it, you can yield it to someone else. It’s a kind of generosity. However, if someone else takes the peach from your hand, that’s not a yield. If you just let the peach be taken away at that time, it’s not generosity, it’s weakness. Besides, think about Aunt Qing. She probably had expectations of you too. She probably wanted to see you ascend to the position of chieftain and bring prosperity to the people.”
Yongjin said.
At the mention of Aunt Cheong, Sobi’s eyes turned red and she clenched her fists.
“Okay, then let’s fight.”
As soon as Sobi finished speaking, he walked towards Sogo. His steps were filled with the will to fight. People were surprised. To volunteer to fight Sogo was like inviting insults upon oneself.
“Hahaha, okay. I’m looking forward to seeing what you fight me with.”
Sogo walked out laughing loudly.
Sobi, who was approaching Sogo, stopped walking after being caught by Yongjin. Yongjin said.
“what are you doing?”
“I will fight the cows. I will become the chieftain for Aunt Cheong.”
Consumption said.
“No, you can’t beat him.”
Yongjin shook his head.
Sobi was momentarily dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, he had been encouraging me to fight, so why was he pouring cold water on me now?
Yongjin spoke to Sogo with an annoyed expression.
“I think you misunderstood what I said about your skill being lower than Sobi’s. There are two kinds of skill in this world. One is your own skill, and the other is external skill. Sobi’s skill is lower than yours, but he has external skill.”
“External skills?”
People didn’t understand.
“Yes, external skills. It’s me!”
Yongjin hit his chest and laughed lazily.
The Sojok did not understand Yongjin’s words, perhaps because they had been isolated from the outside world for too long.
Yongjin said.
“Sobbi is an indigenous person. He is an enemy of outsiders like us. However, he did not leave his comrades even when he was being chased, and fought for his life. I was so moved that I helped him. I consider him my brother. How could I, as an older brother, just sit back and watch when my brother is in trouble? This time, I will fight in Sobbi’s place. It will be fine, right?”
“Brother Yongjin.”
Sobi’s eyes turned red as she was moved by Yongjin’s deep feelings.
“Don’t be embarrassed. Be a man. I’m helping you because we come from the same background. But I’ve been ten times unluckier than you. I can help you this time, but next time you’ll have to figure it out on your own. A man can only rely on himself.”
Yongjin patted Sobi’s shoulder and said.
When I looked at Sobi, it was like looking at my childhood. Although the two people’s childhoods were different, their miserable situations were similar. One was because of their family, the other because of their environment. Like a dog cornered in a dead end, the feeling of bewilderment and fear with no way out was an emotion that only the two of them could understand.
“Hahaha, good. It was already annoying, so this is actually good.”
Sogo laughed loudly. His two eyes were extremely gloomy.
He almost had his head cracked when he was slapped in the face by Yongjin. The pain was painful, but the humiliation was even greater.
The slap technique that Yongjin created was not intended for murder, but to break the pride of those who like to look down on others.
The killing power of slaps is not the pain of the body, but the pain of the mind and the trampling on dignity. That is why Yongjin does not slap easily, but some people find it so abominable that they cannot control their hands.
“Yongjin, you can’t. Sogo is a strong man in the later stages of the damage. And he can show his full power here, so it’s different from before.”
The major warned.
Yongjin smiled at the major and thanked him, then turned to the old chief and asked him a question.
“Chief, may I go in place of Sobi?”
The old chief hesitated for a moment. It was not appropriate to involve outsiders in such a battle. Besides, Yongjin was the benefactor who had saved So-bi and So-yu’s lives. If he were to get hurt, So-bi would be repaying the favor with enmity.
Just as the old man was about to open his mouth, the white-eyed old man standing behind him opened his mouth.
“Let the young people do as they please.”
At the old man’s words, the old chief gave up trying to stop him.
“Then let’s change places. This place is not suitable for fighting.”
Soon after, Yongjin was taken to an empty lot. The small empty lot was far from his residence, so he could fight in peace.
The old chief, who was watching Yongjin standing in the empty lot, smiled bitterly and spoke to the old man next to him.
“Brother, I am worried that our clan will be branded as ungrateful. If that happens, I will not have the face to face my ancestors when I die.”
“Don’t worry. My eyes are accurate. A few days ago, I suddenly felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out why, so I came to see you to tell you a story. However, after Yongjin showed up, I finally realized why I came here. I came here because I was led by the will of heaven.”
The old man with white eyes said.
The old chief asked with a surprised expression.
“You were led by the heavenly energy? Could it be that you too were drawn into it? Don’t the Celestial Eye Tribe practice the art of the heavenly eye? How could you possibly be within the scope of the heavenly energy?”
The Celestial Eye Tribe is an ancient race of people who have a tradition of destroying their own eyes when practicing the Celestial Eye Technique.
They thought that human eyes were deceptive, that they only saw what was superficial and were easily deceived. They were a race that saw the world with their minds and lived with the mindset of an onlooker.
Therefore, the strong of the Celestial Tree Tribe could infer the omens of the heavens and divine their fate. Those with very high positions in the spiritual world rarely divined others.
Since they called themselves people outside the heavenly path, they could not interfere much with the affairs of the heavenly path. If they were tainted by karma, they would definitely receive retribution.
