All Master of 100 Floors Episode 139

28th Floor. Stone Mountain (1)

[It was quite enjoyable in its own way.]

Manbyeonggi’s tone had risen, seeming satisfied.

[To think such possibilities existed in this universe. What a shame. It would have been nice to meet them while I was alive.]

Kang Jun-hyeok began checking what he had gained from the 27th Floor.

First, his Sword Technique skill proficiency had increased by one level.

[Passive Skill: Sword Technique]

[Grade: Lowest Grade]

[Proficiency: B]

[The art of handling a sword. Even a talented person cannot reach this level despite a lifetime of effort.]

If martial arts were high-dimensional sword techniques, then the Sword Technique passive skill was the most basic proficiency in handling a sword. Being fundamental, the higher it was, the more it helped in handling other sword techniques.

Proficiency B meant it was below transcendent level but above peak level technique.

Of course, since it was only fundamentals, he didn’t actually possess that level of technique, but it was still a sufficiently high level.

And finally, the proficiency of Manbyeonggi’s martial arts had increased.

[Passive Skill: Divine Technique]

[Grade: Unique]

[Proficiency: E]

[The divine technique of the fallen one. All Streams Return to Source, so everything eventually reaches the great trunk. You have taken the first step toward that trunk.]

[Integrated Techniques]

[1. White Sword Swordsmanship (Intermediate)]

[2. Erllaon Hashka’s Dagger Technique (Lowest Grade)]

[3. Scale Sword Technique (Intermediate)]

[Passive Skill: Mental Cultivation Method]

[Grade: Unique]

[Proficiency: E]

[The mental cultivation method of the fallen one. All Streams Return to Source, so everything eventually reaches the great trunk. You have taken the first step toward that trunk.]

[Integrated Techniques]

[1. White Sword Heart Method (Intermediate)]

[2. Scale Mental Cultivation (Intermediate)]

“It took damn long.”

Finally, he had understood the basic profound principles and could now handle sword forms. As a result, his proficiency had risen from F to E.

[It’s much faster than I thought. If it weren’t for Taesaek Jicheon, I would have had to struggle for several more months to barely reach this level. Maybe I never would have reached it in my lifetime.]

“How on earth did you create something like this?”

[This master is a genius. I have reached a realm that ordinary people cannot touch.]

Manbyeonggi spoke calmly. Those words could not be called arrogance. The martial arts he handled were truly of that caliber.

Next, Kang Jun-hyeok examined the small elixir pill.

[Blue-Red Great Pill]

[Grade: Intermediate]

[A Great Return Pill that the Cheonghong Family has treasured for generations. Unfortunately, due to poor storage, the energy contained in the elixir has been consumed and damaged. However, it still contains considerable power.]

The Great Return Pill was in a damaged state.

He couldn’t expect to obtain a perfect Great Return Pill on just the 27th Floor. Not as disappointed as expected, he put the pill in his mouth.

Kuwoong!

Intense power swirled inside Kang Jun-hyeok. It was a torrent that could cause qi deviation if the power wasn’t properly controlled. However, with the System’s assistance, it became part of him without much resistance.

[Internal Energy + 13]

“Not bad.”

Kang Jun-hyeok whistled. It was a considerably high increase. Since he had been desperately feeling the lack of internal energy, it was an excellent reward.

And next was the Alliance Leader’s ring.

[Alliance Leader’s Ring]

[Type: Ring]

[Grade: Intermediate]

[Strength + 3]

[Speed + 3]

[Internal Energy + 5]

[A ring passed down through generations. Whoever possesses this ring gains the qualification of Murim Alliance Leader and can control the Murim Alliance.]

The Alliance Leader’s ring.

The fact that this was a Perfect Clear reward meant one thing.

Challenging for the position of Murim Alliance Leader and becoming the Alliance Leader.

That was the standard clearing method.

‘Actually, in my previous life, the Greatest Martial Artist cleared it that way too.’

He wasn’t the only one who achieved a Perfect Clear of the 27th Floor. The Greatest Martial Artist. He also succeeded in achieving a Perfect Clear.

He challenged for the position of Murim Alliance Leader and succeeded. In the end, he became the Murim Alliance Leader and reached 100% completion rate.

In other words, raising the proficiency of Manbyeonggi’s Divine Art had equal or even greater value than that.

The effect of the Perfect Player title was Internal Energy + 2. After checking the title, he whistled.

“How long it is.”

[Title: Perfect Player.]

[The beginning of the Tower. A title given to those who perfectly clear Floor 1.]

[Current Effects]

[All Stats + 2]

[Proficiency increase rate of Passive Skills slightly increased.]

[Proficiency increase rate of Active Skills slightly increased.]

[Defense + 4]

[Strength + 3]

[Speed + 2]

[All senses are further enhanced.]

[Internal Energy + 3]

[Health + 30]

[Attack Power + 1]

[Mana + 2]

[Achievement + 2]

[Divine Power + 1]

[Gains resistance to poison.]

[Gains resistance to Mental Attacks.]

[The title’s effects increase as the number of floors with Perfect Clear increases.]

Kang Jun-hyeok had achieved Perfect Clear up to the 27th Floor without missing a single thing.

As a result, the Perfect Player title had accumulated and was gradually generating considerable effects on its own.

As he climbed higher in the Tower and achieved more Perfect Clears, the effects would become even stronger. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled pleasantly and called Pixie to transfer his memories.

[…Wow.]

Pixie was the first to make a bizarre expression.

[That guy called Taesaek Jicheon. He has the Eyes of Observation?]

“Eyes of Observation?”

[Occasionally in the world, mutant-like beings emerge. Strange abilities that mortal flesh cannot contain. One of them is the Eyes of Observation.]

It sees the world. It penetrates all things and finds answers. It was an ability to approach the concepts of the universe, the providence itself. Eldyria asked with a puzzled tone.

[I’ve never heard of it?]

[Well, it’s a name I made up.]

[…]

[It wasn’t even known to begin with. I only saw it once while traveling the universe.]

Pixie is a fairy who travels the universe.

The fact that she had only seen it once meant it was truly a special ability.

But there was something even more surprising.

[But… even someone with the Eyes of Observation couldn’t comprehend your martial arts?]

Taesaek Jicheon couldn’t understand Manbyeonggi’s Martial Arts.

He could barely grasp a clue only through repeated experiments and real combat. Pixie let out a quiet laugh.

[Your martial arts. To think I’d see that with my own eyes again.]

[The power is pathetic. The proficiency is also woefully lacking.]

[Well, that’s true, but the technique itself is beyond strange. It’s the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen. How on earth was something like that created?]

Pixie flicked her finger in amazement.

[To think there was another Eye of the Coffin in the universe. And that guy’s martial arts. It was quite entertaining.]

[370 Starlight.]

“Oh.”

A considerable amount of starlight. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly.

“Thank you.”

[I’m the one who’s grateful.]

The more memories were transmitted, the more life gradually returned to Pixie’s face.

[Who knows. It’s still a faint possibility, but… you really never know.]

Her muttering body was swallowed by space.

The 27th Floor Murim layer.

He had truly gained a lot.

As much as that, proper verification was needed.

Kang Jun-hyeok moved to a nearby Abandoned Mountain.

He drew his sword and steadied his breathing. He circulated his Internal Energy.

He stepped forward and swung his sword. One strike. Then gathering all the power contained in the sword, the repulsion force, and the momentum. Two strikes.

First Sword Form. Raging Wind Heaven Slash.

Kwaaaaang!

The boulder struck by the second strike shattered. Fragments flew in all directions, lashing the surrounding trees.

“Whew…”

Next, he steadied his breathing. He put strength into his feet. He drew power from the Ground. The energy of the atmosphere was contained within him.

Second Sword Form. World-Shaking Wind Descent.

Kagagagagak!

A storm descended upon the Ground. It literally ground up the entire Forest area. Trees were torn apart and scattered as the Ground was cleared.

As if a bomb had dropped, everything around Kang Jun-hyeok was devastated. He let out a hollow laugh.

“What kind of power is this.”

Even with his utterly miserable proficiency, he overturned the surrounding terrain. If he were to produce similar destructive power, it would be Arcana Gem Magic at best. Even that would require several high-purity gems to barely show similar power.

A technique that transcended the category of Martial Arts.

That was Manbyeonggi’s Divine Art.

But it wasn’t all advantages. Kang Jun-hyeok opened his status window.

[Health: 790/1140]

‘Just using it consumes health.’

The process of handling the Sword Forms placed considerable strain on his body. Without the system’s protection, he would have suffered internal injuries.

The first Sword Form consumed roughly 10%. The second Sword Form consumed roughly 20% of his health.

That wasn’t all. It also dealt physical damage to his body itself. The muscles throughout his body creaked and screamed. It was severe enough that he needed to use Divine Power to recover.

On top of that, the Internal Energy consumption was tremendous. His current Internal Energy stat was 50. Even compared to those who entered the Tower as Murim practitioners, this was in the upper ranks.

But such Internal Energy was consumed by half just from using the Sword Forms twice. It was several times the consumption of ordinary Martial Arts.

‘And the preparation time is long too.’

If interference came during the process of gathering strength and moving internal energy, it would be difficult to respond.

Stamina, body, internal energy.

All three were severely depleted.

This was a double-edged sword.

If handled well, it could pierce through an opponent’s heart, but if mishandled, it would carve wounds into his own body.

“I can’t even dream of the next sword form.”

The subsequent sword forms were also contained in Kang Jun-hyeok’s mind.

But he could tell. His proficiency, stamina, internal energy, and strength – all of it was insufficient to handle them.

Martial arts that even a Player’s body couldn’t handle.

And Manbyeonggi would have perfectly mastered these martial arts without even receiving the System’s protection.

Kang Jun-hyeok asked as if incredulous.

“Were you born with a Heavenly Martial Body or something?”

The greatest talent bestowed by heaven. The supreme body that could be counted on one hand throughout all of Murim’s history.

It was also the constitution that the Greatest Martial Artist from his previous life was born with.

To that question, Manbyeonggi answered indifferently.

[Do you think something as trivial as heaven could contain this lord?]

“I suppose that’s true.”

It was an incredibly arrogant statement, but it made sense. That was the level of martial arts it was.

‘Still not enough.’

He needed to raise his stats even more.

Only then could he draw out the true power of the divine technique.

“There’s a lot of work to do.”

Kang Jun-hyeok muttered quietly.

Suddenly remembering something, Kang Jun-hyeok took out an old book from his inventory. It was the Lost God’s Scripture.

In that scripture, the 27th Floor was written about like this:

[The agent of the lost one advanced through the world. At its end, he met talent, achieving his own purpose and reaching the Supreme Realm.]

“Just two sentences?”

The events of the 27th Floor were summarized in two sentences.

He had felt it in his previous life too, but it was annoyingly meticulous. Shaking his head, Kang Jun-hyeok closed the book.

Kang Jun-hyeok spent three days circulating his internal energy to train his mental cultivation method and recover his stamina.

Then he entered the 28th Floor.

What appeared before him as he stepped onto the 28th Floor was a single stone.

Naturally, it wasn’t an ordinary stone.

Its height seemed to swallow the clouds, and its width appeared ready to devour the entire forest. The surface was covered with rough basalt. Moss had grown between the cracks visible here and there, emitting a green glow.

A stone as massive as a mountain.

A Quest window appeared.

[28th Floor Quest.]

[Collapse the mountain within one week.]
