Revision as of 04:21, 17 July 2018

Gang Ryong (강룡, Gang Lyong) is the tavern delivery boy and the final disciple of the "Heavenly Destroyer", Dokgo Ryong. He is also known as Chief Gang by the villagers of Yellow Dragon Mountain.

Appearance

Ryong is a short, plump young man with long black hair that he ties into a ponytail and pale brown eyes. His general appearance is very unassuming leading many to underestimate him. He also generally wears a jolly and bright expression on his face.

Personality

Ryong is a cheerful guy who rarely has a frown on his face. He has a strong sense of justice and is always willing to step in and help those who look like they are in trouble; he once forsook sleep for several days to make sure the Elder was safe from an assassin. While he initially seemed to be somewhat naïve, finding himself interrupting and getting engaged in the middle of fights without knowing the situation, this is merely him obfuscating his true nature as an intimidatingly powerful gosu; a few people have experienced Ryong's incredibly intimidating murderous intent, with one likening him to a demon and a great tiger.[1] Nameless comments that Ryong's overwhelmingly intimidating battle aura and fighting spirit completely defies belief.

Ryong tries not to kill his opponents unless the situation forces him to do so. This peaceful attitude has clashed with the supposed mission given to him by his late master: killing the Four Heavenly Kings. After experiencing what his master was truly like before his downfall during his fight with Mak Sapyeong, Ryong's attitude towards people in the murim and the opponents he faced began to change; during his skirmish with Ze Wungang and Nameless, Ryong truly realised that killing the Four Heavenly Kings actually wasn't what his master had wanted for him and that he had chosen to do so out of his own volition, although he had since become disillusioned with the path he had chosen.[2] As a result, he has become more vicious, merciless and apathetic in his actions, mirroring that of the original Heavenly Destroyer.

Plot

To be added.

Powers & Abilities

Gosu fight, Two Wheels of Devastation vs Berserker Lightning

Gang Ryong's Two Wheels of Devastation clashes with Sa Paecheon's Berserker Lightning

Having learned everything about the twelve Divine Heavenly Destruction techniques, Gang Ryong is an extremely powerful combatant, both unarmed and when wielding a weapon; he was able to fight a high-level swordsman on equal footing with nothing but the old wooden staff he was travelling with.[3] Ryong also appears to know basic recovery techniques, being able to analyse and fix the injuries of an injured martial artist.[4] Ryong's evasive movements have been noted to be "weird"; while it looks like he is getting hit by an attack, he actually dodges at the very last moment.[5] It is unknown whether Ryong does this on purpose, whether his movements are instinctual or if they are movements of the Divine Heavenly Destruction style.

Immense Inner Ki: He has been noted as having great inner ki, being able to drastically increase the physical properties of an old wooden staff enabling Ryong to combat Soh Jinhong's sword, with the latter being unable to cut through it for the majority of the fight.[3] Woobok further comments on the sheer volume of ki that Ryong possesses, wondering if it was even possible for someone of Ryong's age to be able to possess such a high level of ki based on training alone.[6] Ryong's ki prowess also extends to being able to put up reflective ki barriers in order to block and mitigate the damage he would incur from powerful attacks.[7][8]

Immense Physical Strength: Ryong is much more physically powerful than he superficially appears, being able to level great rock faces and the ground with single strikes.[4][3]

Immense Physical Speed: He is quick and deceptively light on his feet, being able to run at great speed without triggering extremely sensitive traps set by fixers.[9] In his first encounter with Soh Jinhong, Ryong managed to intercept the assassin's attack upon the Elder; the movement was so fast, the Elder barely noticed what had occurred.[10] During his most recent fight with Soh Jinhong, he briefly moved at such great speed that Yang Jeonghak couldn't perceive his movements.[11]

Immense Endurance: Ryong has proven to be an extremely resilient and persistent combatant, tanking seriously powerful blows and being able to continue fighting. This was shown during his fight with Sa Paecheon when he was able to endure all of the man's hits, as well as being impaled in the torso with poison-coated whips, and continue fighting, going on to eventually defeat Sa Paecheon.[12] His endurance was further proven when he managed to completely dominate both Ze Wungang and Nameless, killing the former, despite his body being in a terrible condition.[13]

Immense Reflexes: His reflexes and general awareness are at superhuman levels, enabling to effortlessly evade other people's attacks without much effort. Ryong's immense reflexes also allow him to mitigate damage from surprise attacks, as seen when he used reflective ki to soften and counter Sa Paecheon's strikes.[8]

Poison Resistance: Having gone through intense training to counter the Poison Arts, Ryong has developed an incredible resistance to poisons.[14] He was able to drink wine laced with enough poison to take down a bear without suffering any impairment.[14] He was later exposed to the degenerating Demonic Blight while fighting Sa Paecheon and suffered no immediate or lasting effects.

Silent Communication: Gwi Yeong was somehow able to have a full non-verbal conversation with Ryong using a yet unknown mean.[15]

Divine Heavenly Destruction Techniques:

  • (To a knocked down Soh Jinhong) "Hey, assassin. Ya sleepin'?"[3]
  • (After tearing off one of Sa Paecheon's arms) "That's one arm."[22]
  • (While hallucinating the faces of Hyeol Bi and Hwan Sa) "No matter what... kind of man master was... your sins won't disappear. It was my decision to kill you all."[2]
  • (Questioning Ze Wungang and Nameless) "You guys... give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you ...bet you don't have any. ‘Cause that's how things work in the murim. It's a place where might makes right... isn't that right?"[2]
