Solo Resurrection Chapter 164

Episode 164: The World’s Best Arm Wrestling Competition (1)

164. The World’s Best Arm Wrestling Competition (1)

“The arm wrestling competition is a new event organized by the black market.”

On the way to register for the contest.

Choi Si-Hyeon explained in detail about the arm wrestling competition.

“Is this event being held in such a lawless area a healthy one?”

Choi Si-hyeon snickered at Kang Hyeon’s question.

“Once you actually see it, words like ‘healthy’ will disappear from your mind.”

“Why? If you lose in arm wrestling, do you get your neck cut off?”

“It’s not that extreme. The rules aren’t much different from regular arm wrestling competitions. If you lose the match, you just walk away cleanly. Instead…”

Choi Si-hyeon stopped talking and looked at Kang Hyeon.

“Instead? What is it?”

“You can use any means you want, whether it be skills, buffs, or items, as long as it doesn’t harm your opponent. This is an arm wrestling competition between capable people.”

Although Choi Si-hyeon said that it was amazing, Kang Hyeon wasn’t particularly impressed.

“That would be fun. That rule is completely for me.”

If the match had been fought purely with brute force, without any skills or buffs, it might have been difficult to guarantee victory.

This is because Kang Hyun raised all stats evenly.

If there is a high-level ability user who has only raised these two things, strength and stamina, then he can easily be higher than Kang Hyun in terms of pure strength.

It was only possible in theory.

“That’s okay. But if that’s the rule, I think a lot of people will get hurt.”

“Yes. In the last competition, half of the participants lost their arms, and 10% of the participants died.”

“Wow… This is scary.”

Kang Hyun shook his head.

“There is a limit to the amount of buffs a human can accept, so you can’t just use them blindly.”

Kang Hyun could be said to be almost an addict who always has a buff on.

Although they are not very diverse, they all put a tremendous burden on the body.

There are probably very few people in the world who know as much about this field as Kang Hyun.

“That’s right. But even knowing that, no one can give up. Isn’t that especially true for humans, especially men?”

“Well, I can’t deny it.”

Just looking at Kang Hyun’s surroundings right now, you can see that.

There were so many idiots who couldn’t bend their pride even if they died soon that it was easy to trip them up.

“Anyway, I understand the rules of the contest. What’s the prize for winning? I think they said they’d give something out on the broadcast earlier.”

Instead of answering, Choi Si-hyeon handed her smartphone to Kang Hyeon.

Inside the LCD was a picture of an old-fashioned, yet plain ring.

“Um… a ring?”

“Yes. To be exact, it’s an item ring. Its name is Warrior’s Last Flame.”

“The name is quite charming.”

‘Warrior,’ ‘last,’ and ‘flame’ were all keywords that stimulated Kang Hyun’s emotions.

“What are your abilities?”

“The B+ grade that can be said to be the best currently available. The option increases strength by 10 points and has a skill called Warrior’s Death built in.”

“It’s okay.”

Generally, B-grade accessories are divided into two types.

One is 10 points of pure stat.

The other one has 8 stat points and one skill.

However, the item that Choi Si-hyeon mentioned was a B+ grade item, so it gave 10 stat points and also had a skill built into it.

“What is the skill called Warrior’s Death?”

“Exactly 5 seconds… Increase your strength by 5 times in 5 seconds.”

Kang Hyun was surprised when he heard the item description.

“It increases your strength by 5 times!?”

“Yes. It only takes 5 seconds.”

“But it’s still amazing? Are there any restrictions on its use?”

“You can only use it once a day.”

“ah…”

It was a little disappointing that it was only once a day.

“But the number of times doesn’t matter to the user anyway. No, should I say it has no meaning?”

“Why? Wouldn’t it be a bit disappointing if it were only once a day?”

“If you use that, most people die within 10 seconds. Or become disabled.”

“Ah… I guess so.”

I could understand.

No matter how physically strong you are, it is impossible to withstand five times your muscle strength.

Additionally, if you are wearing a ring, your strength increases by 5 times and +10 is added.

“It’s fortunate that you don’t die.”

“That’s right. That’s probably why it’s called the Warrior’s Last Flame.”

Kang Hyun nodded at Choi Si Hyun’s words.

“Okay. I like it very much.”

“yes?”

“That’s just a custom-made item!”

Choi Si-hyeon couldn’t understand why Kang-hyeon would say something like that when looking at such a dangerous item, but she let it be.

‘I knew it wasn’t normal.’

There was nothing new.

“Whew… This competition. I’ll win at any cost.”

Desire began to flicker in Kang Hyun’s eyes.

**

The arm wrestling competition took place in a makeshift stadium that looked like it had been hastily put together.

There is a scoreboard and ring in the center, and people stand in a circle around it for watching.

After completing the registration, Kang Hyun waited for his turn near the stadium.

Choi Si-hyeon made an apologetic expression as she looked at Kang Hyun and his group standing without a single chair.

“I’m sorry. This is still a test run event, so there are many things lacking. Once it’s officially established, we plan to properly build the relevant facilities.”

“Okay. It’s nice to see it up close. But more importantly, when do you start?”

“Probably starting soon… .”

Before Choi Si-hyeon could finish answering, the lights came on and the host appeared.

-Ladies and gentlemen of the underworld. Thank you for keeping us waiting!

There were a little over a thousand spectators in the stadium, and the announcer’s words erupted into a fairly loud cheer.

-The 2nd World Arm Wrestling Championships will now begin!

The host then explained miscellaneous things like the game rules and prizes.

And the first game started.

-First player! From Russia to the harsh Siberian…

After the unnecessarily long and fancy introduction by the host,

-Petrov!

The person who appeared was a large man named Petrov.

“The power looks good.”

“I think your muscles are bigger than your brother’s?”

“Mine are real compression muscles, man.”

While Kang Hyun and Ahn Yu-seong were meowing, Petrov moved to the stadium with music flowing out.

Petrov passed by Kang-Hyeon while moving, and at that moment, his eyes met with those of Olivia, who was next to him.

“Ugh!”

Petrov looked at Olivia and barked threateningly, his expression distorting.

“Whoa!”

“Hahahahaha!”

Petrov smiled in satisfaction as the timid Olivia reacted violently.

“Ha… That cub that looks like Winnie the Pooh is causing trouble.”

Petrov’s head turned sharply at Kang Hyun’s words.

Then he raised his hand and pointed alternately at his eyes and Kang-Hyeon.

Translated, it means to watch.

“That guy is a plastic bottle or something. I really hope he stays alive until I can fight him. I’ll make him a total crippled man.”

Kang Hyun vowed that if he ever met Petrov, he would break his arm.

“Mr. Kang Hyun. This isn’t a fight, it’s an arm wrestling competition…”

“That’s what I’m saying. That’s what I’m saying… haha!”

Kang Hyun smiled awkwardly at Choi Si-hyeon’s words.

‘I don’t think so at all…’

After both players’ positions were completed, preparations for the match began.

“The power of Kais!”

“Warrior’s Hope!”

“Unbreakable spirit!”

Kang Hyun shook his head as he continued to watch the buffs pile up on both players.

“I was going crazy because I wanted to lose.”

Their strength values ​​have probably already increased by nearly twice their original values.

“Who gives me that buff?”

“Usually, it’s the players’ acquaintances who do it. But if you ask, there are magicians waiting at the stadium who can do it for you. There aren’t many of them though.”

While Choi Si-Hyeon was explaining, the buff stacking finally ended.

“Kuaaaaaaah!”

“Wow!”

The muscles of both players who received all the buffs swelled and twitched as if they were going to burst.

Both players screamed in pain, their faces distorted.

“Kuuuuuuu…”

The men holding each other’s hands laughed strangely at the unknown sensation of pain and pleasure.

The referee among them wrapped the hands of both players tightly with a tough cloth.

This was to prevent their hands from slipping away from each other.

-Players, prepare…begin!

As soon as the referee announced, both players pulled each other’s arms inward with all their might.

“Wow!”

A tremendous power that can be felt just by looking at it! Muscles!

When men are together, there is nothing more entertaining than arm wrestling.

It’s twice as fun if it’s a muscular, large man,

“Kuaaaah!”

“Kkaaaah!”

If those muscular, big men are crazy as if they’re on drugs, then the people watching are also going half crazy.

“Pass it! Pass it!”

“Wow!”

Even amidst the enthusiastic cheering, Kang Hyun’s loud voice was particularly jarring to the ears.

“Kill me!”

“Mr. Kang Hyun. This is an arm wrestling competition…”

“Kill him! Kill him!”

Choi Si-hyeon gave up on stopping Kang Hyeon.

“Eww!”

A tight battle of power.

Both players screamed, their faces twisted in pain as they were thrust into them.

That moment.

-Pick, pick!

A deflating sound was heard from one player’s arm, and soon blood began to spurt out.

“Hey, what’s up!?”

-Phew!

Finally, the player’s arm bursts.

“Waaaaaaaaaah!”

At the same time, shouts to leave the stadium erupted.

“That’s it! Yes! This is it!”

Kang Hyun, who had become the number one enthusiastic fan, clenched his fist and shouted.

“Mr. Choi Si-Hyeon. Is there any beer here!?”

“Ah… there is.”

“You can’t have a game like this without beer! Oh, by the way, I’m glad that plastic bottle won. It would have been a shame if we had lost here.”

The winner was Petrov, who had been engaged in a war of nerves with Kang Hyeon when he first appeared.

“Kuaaaaaaa!”

Petrov, who had been roaring like a monster, also turned his head as if he felt Kang Hyun’s gaze.

Then he raised his finger and pointed alternately at his eyes and Kang-Hyeon.

“Just wait a minute, you punk. Let’s see how strong you are.”

It was when Kang Hyun clenched his fist and strengthened his fighting spirit.

An Yu-seong, who was next to Kang Hyeon, spoke to him.

“Even if your arm breaks, will it regenerate?”

“Of course. If you have enough magic power, it won’t even take 30 minutes. But why is that?”

“I asked because I was worried that I would have to kill you if your arm was blown off.”

“I see.”

Choi Si-hyeon, who was listening to their conversation from the side, shook his head.

‘Those crazy guys…’

The stadium was on the brink of human madness.

**

After a few matches, it was finally Kang Hyun’s turn.

“What? Isn’t that Kang Hyun?”

“Kang Hyun-do was also a participant!?”

When Kang Hyun stepped onto the pitch, many people recognized him and were surprised.

Most people were delighted to have struck it rich, but Olivia was anxious and unable to join in the fun.

“Kang Hyun… Are you okay?”

Olien asked with a worried face.

“Yes, Mr. Kang Hyun will be fine.”

Shin Sung-ah comforted Ollien with a comfortable smile.

“yes…”

Kang Hyun, who heard their story at the stadium, gave them a thumbs up to tell them not to worry.

“I told you he worries too much.”

Kang Hyun, who was smiling, looked at his opponent.

“Are you that Kang Hyeon?”

Unfortunately, the opponent was not Petrov.

Instead, a white man with a thick beard on his head spoke to Kang-Hyeon in English.

“Oh. I’m that Kang Hyeon.”

“I saw what you did in America this time. You’d better prepare yourself.”

“What? Are you American too?”

“Yes. Maybe it’s heaven’s help that I’m meeting the man who insulted my country here.”

The American growled, his voice low.

“I’ll smash it to pieces.”

“Where did that kid get his voice from? He thinks he’s some kind of idiot.”

“what?”

“Stop pretending to be cool. It annoys me.”

At Kang Hyun’s words, the fake Olverine’s eyes widened fiercely.

“Okay, both players, get ready.”

As the war of nerves between the two continued, the referee stepped in and mediated.

“I’m fine, so let’s get this guy ready.”

The referee looked at the white player after hearing Kang Hyun’s words.

“Are you ready?”

At that moment, suddenly the white man started screaming.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaah!”

A man who grows hair all over his body and becomes huge.

The creature continued to grow, eventually reaching a size of nearly 3 meters, and its face had changed to resemble that of an animal.

“What? It’s not a fake, it’s the real Olverine!?”

Kang Hyun was surprised.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen something like this.”

The skill to turn your body into a monster is extremely rare and not everyone can use it.

I’ve heard that the body itself has to be innate, but it’s been a long time since Kang Hyun-do actually saw it.

“Krrrrr…”

Jintung Olverine cried lowly like an animal.

“Isn’t this foul play…?”

“Are you scared now? But there are no fouls in this game. Krrrr… Krrrr…”

The guy chuckled while looking at Kang Hyun.

“Who’s scared? I was just curious, you punk.”

Kang Hyun, who frowned, started activating the buff.

‘Wayne’s Secret’ and ‘The Strength of the Giant’.

“Ugh… nice.”

Kang Hyun’s strength increased by over 90 with two buffs.

“Let’s play.”

Kang Hyun laughed fiercely as he felt the familiar pain taking over his body.

“Players, prepare…”

The referee came and tied Kang Hyun and Olverine’s hands with rope.

‘It’s so big, it’s hard to catch.’

The bastard’s hand felt larger than Kang-Hyeon’s, so it wasn’t easy to even grab it.

‘Well… it doesn’t matter.’

Kang-Hyeon and the guy’s eyes met.

Eyes with an obvious mocking smile.

Kang Hyun also smiled back.

“start!”

As soon as the referee announced, Kang Hyun put all his strength into his grip.

Then, all of a sudden, the giant Jintung Olverin’s hand began to distort.

Olverine’s hand sinks into the shape of Kang Hyun’s hand.

“Wake up!”

The bastard let out a high-pitched scream, unlike his initial low threat.

Kang Hyun could have thrown his arm away in one breath, but he never did.

-Thud, thud!

Unable to bear the constant breaking of his hands, Olberin’s transformation was eventually undone.

“Hey, stop! This is, ba, ba, half-assed…”

“Where is the foul play here!?”

“Kyaaaaah! Hangboook!”

The white man was squirming like crazy and shouting surrender over and over again.

“Kang Hyun Seung! Stop!”

“Yaaaaaaap! Phew!”

Kang Hyun, who had been squeezing until the end, quickly threw away the bastard’s hand.

“Ugh…”

A completely shattered state, with bones and flesh tangled together.

‘Even the best healer can’t save that.’

If you want to return your hand to its original state in that condition, it would be much easier and simpler to cut it off and then reattach it.

“Whew. It feels great to work out after a long time.”

Kang Hyun, who caused the incident, smiled faintly while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
