"It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves."
- Sir Edmund Hillary
----
(Daeho Mountain)
(Daegu)
Below a tall mountain, two young men were there looking at the top, they were shirtless with only their pants, shoes and a big backpacks behind them.
Zack looked at Daniel and asked: "Do we really need to bring all those things?" He was confused, the backpacks are filled with what they will need while staying here but they are filled with weights too.
Their pants aren't normal either as they are specialy made with a fiber that is more heavy than normal, thus Zack can feel the overall weight.
Really uncomfortable, but that's not his problem.
"And why does that monk live here!" Daniel smiled and spread his hands while struggling: "Who knows, there are some weird ass mother fuckers around." He then begun to head towards the stairs.
"As the first step of this training, we need to reach the top while doing jumping squats on every single stair before tonight." His words made Zack look at him then slowly at the stairs that disappeared on the horizon.
He signed and immediately the two begun.
....
In the middle of the mountain we can see two youn men completely drenched in sweat, with their faces red in exhaustion: "Cough, fuck! Why do you like to torture yourself Daniel!" Zack cursed while Daniel smiled with pain, his legs have become numb after repeated jumping.
"Heh, the training with the monk will be more brutal. What it's insupportable is the heat, I'm becoming black!" Daniel spoke as if he wasn't black on his past life.
"Hah... Everything for the peak of boxing!" Zack declared with conviction and resumed jumping on the next stair, immediately followed by a squat, with one leg and then the other.
....
After another two hours of intense training, the two came on top of the mountain, with grasping breaths, completely collapsing on the floor.
"Huff, huff, I don't feel my legs..." Daniel spoke without air, Zack was too tired to speak so he just took a bottle of water and took a big sip.
They stood like that for some minutes before getting up again, and slowly walking towards the entrance where they saw a big steel bell.
"Damn!, what the fuck is this!?" Zack exclaimed in shock, the bell was huge, Daniel nodded while thinking: 'The manhwa didn't give the bell justice, this shit is big as fuck.' he caressed it.
"Daniel... Look.." A surprised Zack called quietly signaling Daniel to come closer while pointing at a deep fist mark: "Just like our fist marks on the Junkyard but this one is deeply engraved into a steel bell!" His surprise was normal since not even Daniel is on that level for now.
Daniel recognized it: 'Heh, this Taesoo Ma is on another level, weaker than the second body, but strong as fuck nonetheless.'
"Oh my.. it appears we have two guests" A jovial voice was heard, making the two guys turn around to see a monk with a moktak in hand tapping it.
Daniel observed him deeply: 'Gongseob Ji, i feel an immense strength emanating from him, stronger than the Gun i previously fought!'
He then compared Gongseob to James Lee and nodded: 'Weaker than the enlightened James.'
{A/N: He talking about the James that can use the thresholds at the same time, but Gongseob is stronger than DG before he meet Big Daniel. I can explain more if you didn't understand.}
Gongseob is a tall, bulky man with pale skin and black hair. His hair is styled into a buzz cut and paired with a short beard. The lobes of his ears are stretched, which conforms to his image as a Buddhist monk, and his eyes are closed in a smiling expression.
He dons the clothing of a Korean Buddhist monk, having draped an orange garment over clothes of pale grey. He also wears a Rolex watch, expensive sneakers, and glasses with black frames. A greyish pendant shaped like a Christian cross hangs from a cord around his neck
Practically a fake Buddhist Monk
'Lame ahh Monk' Daniel thought while looking at his expensive clothing.
"Welcome to Daeho temple, what brings you all the way here, deep in the mountains?" Gongseob asked while clacking the moktak.
"What's with the bell?" Zack asked and the monk walked towards the massive bell, caressing it, with a melancholic voice he spoke: "Ah, this bell... It's tragic, really.."
Daniel looked at him weirdly while Gongseob continued: "It didn't always look like this.. One man's punch, however, damaged it beyond repair."
"His name was Taesoo Ma..." He then turned around and finished: "From Ansan." Zack tilted his head in confusion non knowing who is he talking about, Daniel seeing his confusion said:
"Taeso Ma, first generation King, he is a strong man that fights with only one fist, the king of Ansan." He explained and then pointed to the Monk who turned back to the bell: "He is Gongseob Ji, King of Daegu, The iron fortress."
Zack nodded in understanding, so he didn't waste time and opened his mouth to ask the Monk, but before he could speak, Gongseob placed his fist on the bell: "Taesoo Ma... Oh great compassionate Buddha.."
Zack tilted his head while Daniel smiled shaking his head: "What a weird ass monk." Zack looked weirdly at the monk who suddenly shouted while unleashing a barrage of punches at the bell:
"OH GRAT FUCKING COMPASSIONATE BUDDHA!!!"
BOOM (x?)
His speed and power were on another level shocking Zack who stared at him speechless while Daniel nodded: 'This is the strength of a king.'
"Hahh.. I should leave such base emotions behind, but every time i think about that bastard Taesoo Ma.." Gongseob turned to the two and clenched his left fist with a smile while his face is full of veins: "I am filled with uncontrollable rage..."
"I suppose this too is Buddha's will." He finished, Daniel looked at him with black lines on his forehead: 'Bullshit.'
Zack still surprised spoke: "You must be mad as fuck.." he muttered, but then suddenly, the rope that was holding the giant bell snapped and released the bell making it fall towards the monk.
Zack widened his eyes along with Daniel who forgot of this detail on the manhwa, Zack shouted: "Fuck, move weird monk!" While Daniel just smiled.
Sbam
The bell fell on top of the monk but the man didn't suffer any injury, instead he continued to clack his little instrument with his usual smile: "Haha, i apologize for scaring you, like your friend said just before... I was part of the first generation.."
Zack looked shocked at what is in front of him: "Something trivial like this wouldn't hurt me."
"But anyway, what brings you here?" Gongseob Ji asked again.
