All Master of 100 Floors Episode 132
27th Floor. Martial Arts (1)
[Title: Ah. This is so healing…]
[Right. This is the kind of world I wanted… It feels like my dreams are coming true.]
[Cheong-jeo (33rd Floor): This floor is filled with the spirit of the continent. I wish it would appear more often. It’s boring when only those strange Western worlds keep showing up.]
[Clement Rit (35th Floor): It means our world is that much larger and more developed. It means your world is that much smaller and weaker.]
[Cheong-jeo (33rd Floor): What did you say? What do you big-nosed bastards know!]
[Pham Min Deuk (35th Floor): Here we go again. Anyone want to bet whether the comments will exceed a hundred this time?]
[Olivia Turner (53rd Floor): I’m predicting two hundred.]
* * *
[Active Skill: Immovable Stance]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Proficiency: F]
[Cooltime: 24 hours]
[Maintains current stance for 1 second. Unaffected by external forces.]
Immovable Stance.
It was an active skill that Milarepa High Monk frequently used.
The stance is fixed for 1 second at the current position. Even if a nuclear bomb exploded, that body would not waver. It was quite a useful skill.
To those who envied him, Milarepa would laugh heartily and say this:
-Then you should have achieved a Perfect Clear on the 26th Floor.
A special skill that could only be obtained by achieving a Perfect Clear on the 26th Floor, which only Milarepa possessed.
Kang Jun-hyeok had obtained it.
It was a very strange feeling.
The Perfect Player title provided Mental Resistance. Unfortunately, it wasn’t very useful. He called Pixie and transferred the memories to her.
[Crazy bastard.]
Pixie said lightly and handed over 100 starlight. Since the floor could be cleared just by staying still, there probably wasn’t much starlight to give anyway.
Kang Jun-hyeok spent the remaining time practicing the newly acquired Manbyeonggi’s Principles.
“Whoo.”
He regulated his breathing and slowly moved his body. He circulated his internal energy and gathered the accumulating power into one place.
Then he thrust out his fist.
Whoooosh!
An intense wave burst forth. The vegetation was pushed back violently as the bushes snapped and fell.
Self-Power Unity.
The second principle of Manbyeonggi that controls one’s own power and unifies it into one. Kang Jun-hyeok muttered.
“As expected, strong.”
He could gather the power from light body movements and unleash force close to full strength. It was a miraculous martial art that eliminated power loss.
The problem was indeed its difficulty.
Kang Jun-hyeok moved his body forcefully. At that moment, the flow of internal energy broke and his body wavered.
“Hmm.”
He could gather power at the level of light movements. But if his movements became even slightly intense, the profound principle would immediately break. It was nearly impossible to utilize in actual combat.
“This is really ridiculous.”
[Your power distribution is clumsy. Unify the flow of internal energy with your body. Move as if becoming one.]
“That’s exactly what’s difficult.”
Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.
His talent for martial arts wasn’t exceptional.
He wasn’t the kind of genius who could achieve enlightenment and reach a higher realm from just a few words of teaching from Manbyeonggi.
He needed a master.
‘Should I enter the 27th Floor after all?’
Kang Jun-hyeok organized his thoughts and continued training his martial arts. Though he didn’t achieve noticeable results, continuing the repetitive work made him more skilled than before.
And finally, he entered the 27th Floor.
That place was a mountain.
Brown trees were visible and green leaves swayed. The sounds of insects crying echoed from all directions.
[27th Floor Quest.]
[Travel around the world for one month and achieve results.]
The 27th Floor had begun.
The Quest was world travel.
There had been several floors where he needed to travel around the world.
But the 27th Floor was definitely special.
Kang Jun-hyeok emerged from the vegetation and entered the road. He descended from the middle of the mountain valley to the ground.
Before long, a group blocked his path.
“You there! Stop right there!”
They were wearing worn leather clothes.
All tattered and damaged, they looked like they wouldn’t help with warmth at all. Whether they hadn’t washed for a long time, their skin had turned yellow and gave off a foul smell. Their hair was disheveled and their beards reached down to their chests.
They were bandits. The opponent laughed heartily and thrust forward a chipped sword.
“What unusual attire! Are you a merchant! Put down everything you have and go, then we won’t kill you.”
“Who are you people!”
“Haha! To try crossing this mountain without knowing who I am!”
The fattest bandit bared his yellow teeth and raised his sword.
“Open your ears and listen carefully! Speaking of myself! I am the White Tiger Leader Jeon-hwan of the Green Forest Eighteen Strongholds!”
The special point of the 27th Floor.
This world was precisely a martial arts world.
* * *
The worlds Kang Jun-hyeok had encountered while climbing the Tower so far were almost all fantasy-like worlds.
White Sword Gate’s Tomb could be said to have a martial arts setting, but since he couldn’t leave it, it wasn’t a proper world.
In contrast, the 27th Floor was proper martial arts.
Manbyeonggi made a sound as if finding it interesting.
[Ho. So this is the setting of the 27th Floor.]
“What! You!”
When Kang Jun-hyeok remained silent and didn’t react, the White Tiger Stronghold Leader’s face contorted.
“How dare you ignore me! You’ve got some nerve! I was going to spare your life, but you’re hastening your own death! Boys! Kill him!”
“Waaaaah!”
The subordinates rushed at Kang Jun-hyeok with their weapons.
Kang Jun-hyeok lightly extended his hand.
Crack.
The chipped axe broke in his bare hands. The bandit’s neck snapped while his eyes were still wide with shock.
Crack. Crunch.
The bandits collapsed like puppets with cut strings. The White Tiger Stronghold Leader belatedly realized something was wrong and swallowed hard. He turned around and tried to flee quickly.
Thud!
Naturally, it didn’t work. Kang Jun-hyeok grabbed the back of his neck and threw him to the ground.
“Gack! Gaaaack! I, I am the White Tiger Stronghold Leader of the Green Forest Eighteen Strongholds! If you touch me, the Green Forest Eighteen Strongholds will move…”
“You’re not affiliated with the Green Forest Eighteen Strongholds, are you? Where is there a stronghold leader who can’t even use martial arts? Tell me the truth.”
“…Just bandits! Please spare me! Great Hero!”
The bandit quickly confessed everything. Kang Jun-hyeok asked quietly.
“Just answer my questions. Do the Green Forest Eighteen Strongholds exist?”
“Yes! Though not in these remote parts!”
“Then do the Five Great Families or Nine Sects One Alliance exist?”
“Yes, yes? What do you mean by that…”
“Then what about the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult?”
“I’m hearing that for the first time…”
The bandit rolled his eyes. His face showed he didn’t understand what was being said at all.
‘As expected, they don’t exist.’
The universe is vast.
The number of planets that took the form of martial arts worlds was not small.
But among them, there was only one planet where the Five Great Families, Nine Sects One Alliance, and Heavenly Demon Divine Cult – symbols of martial arts – existed.
The martial arts star where those three groups existed.
From a planetary perspective, it would probably be the strongest place in the universe.
“The place where those three groups exist is your homeland, right? Manbyeonggi.”
[That’s right. You know well.]
Manbyeonggi answered with a voice filled with longing.
“I wonder how those things came to be known even on Earth. It’s really curious.”
[Your planet is small. And it’s trapped. It’s highly likely that what a powerful being of the universe said while traveling has spread.]
In any case, those three groups don’t exist in this place. Having finished his confirmation, Kang Jun-hyeok asked about another matter.
“Then by any chance, do you know about Taesaek Jicheon?”
[Taesaek Jicheon?]
This time Manbyeonggi’s tone suggested it was hearing this for the first time. That would be natural. Taesaek Jicheon was someone who existed on the planet of the 27th Floor.
“…What?”
“You don’t know this either. How useless.”
Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue. The bandit’s face turned deathly pale.
“P-please spare me! I’ll reform and live righteously!”
“There’s no need for that.”
Kang Jun-hyeok grabbed the bandit’s shoulder and pulled him to his feet, smiling slightly.
“First, hand over everything you have. Then guide me to the nearest city.”
* * *
Kang Jun-hyeok headed toward the city with the bandit leading the way.
A fairly large Oriental-style city came into view. The Gate Guards protecting the entrance saw him and raised their spears.
“Who are you!”
“I’ve brought a gift here.”
Kang Jun-hyeok pushed the bandit’s back and handed him over to the Gate Guards. The confused Gate Guards’ eyes widened.
“This guy! He’s a wanted criminal who’s been banditry in the nearby mountains!”
“Hiiiiek!”
The bandit cowered. The Gate Guards hurriedly signaled with their eyes. Government Soldiers came and dragged the bandit away.
“Haha… Who might you be?”
The initial wariness disappeared from the Gate Guards and slight goodwill arose. Kang Jun-hyeok answered quietly.
“I’m a wanderer traveling the world. While crossing the mountain, this guy came and demanded I hand over my money. I thought there might be a bounty on him, so I brought him in.”
“Haha. That fool touched a tiger’s tail! Please enter the city! We’ll give you the reward money!”
Kang Jun-hyeok was welcomed as he entered the city. Manbyeonggi muttered as if impressed.
[No city would accept someone without an identification badge. You caught a bandit to build goodwill and naturally entered the city. You’re skilled. Where did you gain this kind of experience?]
What welcomed Kang Jun-hyeok as he entered the city were countless people. Merchants were coming and going. Street food was visible, and in buildings that appeared to be inns, people were eating noodles and dumplings.
[There’s an inn over there. How about trying some dumplings?]
“You seem strangely excited.”
[It’s been a while since I’ve seen such scenery, so I feel nostalgic.]
Manbyeonggi’s voice contained nostalgia.
Kang Jun-hyeok entered the inn and ordered dumplings and tea.
As he sat in a chair looking around, Manbyeonggi asked.
[The goal of this Quest is to achieve results while traveling the world.]
Other than that, there were no particular restrictions. Whether escorting someone, expanding influence, or doing business, it would be cleared by achieving results in any way.
[I understand your purpose. It’s to train my martial arts, right?]
Manbyeonggi’s martial arts.
He seeks someone in this place who can train him.
Kang Jun-hyeok nodded his head.
“That’s right.”
[Not a bad approach. But there’s a huge problem. Do you think there exists someone in this world who can train my martial arts?]
Manbyeonggi said.
Even looking at the entire star, there would be no one who could understand his martial arts. Words filled with such confidence.
It wasn’t arrogance. Manbyeonggi’s martial arts were that special and difficult. Kang Jun-hyeok had also learned the Taebaek Wisdom Sword from the Wudang Sect Leader, but Manbyeonggi’s martial arts were incomparable to that.
[Even someone called the greatest in this place wouldn’t be able to understand my martial arts. The strategy was good, but it looks like there’s a high chance of failure.]
“Generally speaking, that would be true.”
However.
“I know there’s one special person in this world.”
[A special person?]
27th Floor.
The Martial Arts World.
The name of that star was Cheonwi.
There were quite a few Players who had come to Cheonwi Planet.
And there was one being they all commonly spoke of.
In this world, there was one genius.
One who had mastered all martial arts, but couldn’t overcome fate and died suffering from illness.
“Here it is!”
The Shop Assistant approached carrying food.
“Thank you. Can I ask you something?”
“Of course! What is it!”
“Do you happen to know about Taesaek Jicheon?”
Kang Jun-hyeok asked leisurely.
