All Master of 100 Floors Episode 223
49th Floor. Murim. Secret Manual (8)
[Congratulations on reaching the 3rd Tier realm.]
[I offer my congratulations as well.]
Manbyeonggi and Eldria offered their words of celebration.
Kang Jun-hyeok was a Player. Because of that unique nature, it was difficult to determine whether he had reached a realm compared to ordinary cosmic beings.
However, he had succeeded in defeating a Profound Realm master using only Martial Arts.
It was safe to say he had definitely reached the 3rd Tier. Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head.
‘It wasn’t a perfect victory.’
The opponent had been careless at first and suffered considerable damage. If he had fought seriously from the beginning, and had been more composed, the odds of victory would have been mine.
But even so, a victory was a victory.
Moreover, since I fought using only Martial Arts, it was an even more profound victory. Manbyeonggi seemed satisfied and muttered.
[Not bad. Soon you’ll be at the level where you can proclaim yourself as this Lord’s disciple before others.]
“Only now am I at the level to proclaim myself as your disciple?”
Kang Jun-hyeok let out a dry laugh.
One could only proclaim themselves a disciple after gaining the power to defeat a Profound Realm master. What an unreasonable standard. But thinking of Manbyeonggi’s Martial Arts, it wasn’t incomprehensible.
“There’s still… some time left.”
Approximately three days remained until clearing the 49th Floor.
There was something to do. Kang Jun-hyeok immediately moved to the location the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect Leader had mentioned. After activating Pixie’s Treasure Intuition, I was able to find the secret manual before long.
[Bloody Divine Technique]
[Grade: Advanced]
[A secret manual passed down only to the successors of the Bloody Demon Sect. It possesses the power to dominate and control blood.]
Advanced Martial Arts like the Primordial Heart Method. I was able to acquire it without any particular issues. Since I had fought the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect Leader, it wasn’t difficult to understand.
After that, Kang Jun-hyeok moved to a mountain range untouched by human feet.
It was to organize the newly acquired Martial Arts.
Manbyeonggi’s fourth Sword Form. Sovereign’s Three Steps.
The first step erases the power spreading around. The second step erases the life force existing around. The third step reverses all power existing around.
Martial Arts that exerted strong influence with each step.
It was quite destructive. Unless one was a master reaching the 3rd Tier, it was practically impossible to resist. It boasted absolute power when facing enemies below one’s dignity.
However, it wasn’t a power close to omnipotence.
First, the range wasn’t very wide.
Roughly twenty meters centered on me. Compared to the range of masters who had reached a realm, it was considerably short.
And the series of lifting one’s foot and striking it down on the ground was necessary. Since each step contained separate power, it was also difficult to use at opportune moments.
Still, it was an extremely powerful Sword Form. Since it intervened in all power within a certain range, it wasn’t affected by the enemy’s numbers. Even using just the first step to erase attacks was sufficient.
And Heavenly Sword Qi.
A heat haze of Ki swirls around the blade. Violent and rough aura like the currents of heaven. As I drew the sword, a sharp line cut through the world.
Crash, crash, crash, crash.
I swung the sword. In an instant, blade marks appeared on the mountain range.
It was fast and powerful. Moreover, the range was considerable. Thinking of how I lacked ranged attacks, it was a good technique.
Next was Earthly Sword Qi.
I imbue the weight of the earth into my blade.
That power could even block Ki itself. Combined with its own considerable weight, it was capable of crushing attacks as well.
The fifth Technique Move, wielding these two Sword Energies together.
Heaven and Earth Sword Energy (天地劍氣) – Open.
Craaaaaash!
A massive blade mark appears across the Mountain Range. The powerful aftermath triggers a landslide, sending boulders tumbling down.
Power that severely damages and destroys the mountain itself.
It was the greatest destructive force among all his techniques. A faint smile crossed his face.
‘Now I understand why I can call myself a Disciple from this point forward.’
From the fourth Technique Move and fifth Technique Move onward, Manbyeonggi’s Martial Arts transcended merely handling Profound Principles and concepts—I could now manifest them as an actual Form.
And I could freely deploy these Technique Moves in combination with existing Profound Principles and Technique Moves. Just now, when I defeated the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect Leader, I linked the first Technique Move, Raging Wind Heaven Slash, with the fifth Technique Move, Heaven and Earth Sword Energy – Open.
With further mastery, countless possibilities would open. This alone was sufficient to ascend the Tower without difficulty.
Having finished his verification, Kang Jun-hyeok raised a finger.
Bloody Divine Technique.
The Martial Arts the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect Leader wielded—one that dominates and manipulates blood.
It was quite powerful. However, given my ordinary talent, I couldn’t easily handle Advanced Grade Martial Arts.
So I would use a different method.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Sect Leader’s fundamental Profound Principle was to dominate and manipulate blood itself to draw out power.
The basic framework resembled the Vampire’s Authority. Blood surged forth.
Splash splash splash!
The Vampire’s Authority and the Profound Principle of the Bloody Divine Technique intertwined as blood erupted violently into the world. Eldria murmured with interest.
[Mixing the True Ancestor’s Authority with Martial Arts? That’s something only you can do.]
Linking all manner of techniques and approaching them diversely—one of Kang Jun-hyeok’s advantages. My eyes turned crimson.
[True Ancestor Awakening.]
Whoooosh!
I raise blood and condense it into my fingertip. The Blood Form that the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect Leader demonstrated. I unfold techniques like Blood Heat Haze.
‘Not bad.’
True Ancestor Awakening was certainly powerful. However, I couldn’t properly handle the Blood Dominion I had obtained. That aspect was gradually being filled in.
For the remaining three days, I trained and trained again. Given the considerable difficulty of the newly acquired techniques, cultivation was essential.
And finally, the Quest ended.
[49th Floor Quest Clear.]
[Your reward will be determined based on your achievement.]
[Checking Achievement Rate…]
[Check Complete.]
[Achievement Rate: 100%]
[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional Reward has been granted.]
[The effect of Title: Perfect Player has been added.]
[6,214 Gold has been granted.]
[You have obtained the Perfect Clear Reward [Primordial Mental Cultivation Method].]
[You have obtained the Perfect Clear Reward [Bloody Divine Technique].]
[Player who Perfect Cleared the 49th Floor: 1 person.]
[You alone!]
[Universal Announcement.]
[Congratulations, everyone in the Universe! A Perfect Player of the 49th Floor has appeared. An achievement no one has accomplished until now!]
[Achievement + 5]
The rewards I obtained were two Advanced Grade Martial Arts. And Internal Energy + 2 from the Perfect Player Title.
Kang Jun-hyeok summoned Pixie and transferred the memory to her. Pixie’s eyes widened in surprise.
[You’ve reached the 3rd Tier?]
“That’s right.”
[Wow. It’s only been about three years since you climbed the Tower, hasn’t it? Already at the 3rd Tier. People would think you’re spouting nonsense if they heard this.]
What was the 3rd Tier?
Sword Emperor, Profound Realm, Magic Tower Master, Transcendent Esper, Upper Monster Class.
It was a realm so difficult that finding even one on a single planet was hard. Even those born with talent that appears once in a century would struggle to reach it after decades of cultivation.
Moreover, I hadn’t merely grazed the threshold. Defeating a Profound Realm master with Internal Energy alone meant I had truly reached the 3rd Tier. Though it was hard to believe even seeing it with my own eyes, Pixie soon accepted it as fact.
[Well, if you said you’d save the Universe, you’d need to be at least this strong. Here.]
[700 Starlight.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened at the amount.
It was a larger number than I had anticipated. As Kang Jun-hyeok looked at Pixie, she opened her mouth.
[You’ve reached the 3rd Tier, learned Manbyeonggi’s Martial Arts. This much I can give. Actually, the latter is most important. I’ve wanted to understand that bastard’s Martial Arts for a long time.]
[You still haven’t given up on that?]
Manbyeonggi spoke with reluctance. Pixie nodded as if it were obvious.
[If I’d give up with just that, I wouldn’t be of the Fairy Tribe. But I couldn’t grasp the essence easily… seeing what you learned this time, I’m getting some sense of it.]
Pixie’s eyes sparkled brilliantly.
[This is a reward for satisfying my personal curiosity.]
“In that case, I have no complaints.”
There was nothing bad about it for me. Kang Jun-hyeok now possessed over 3,000 Starlight. With this, I could purchase one of Pixie’s Advanced Grade Skills.
“Show me the Advanced Grade Skills.”
“Here!”
Kang Jun-hyeok examined the unfolded shop one by one.
[Active Skill: Pixie’s Starlight Trajectory]
[Grade: Advanced]
[Proficiency: F]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
[Pixie shoots the starlight she wielded in trajectories.]
[Think of it as a kind of bomber. Countless starlight rains down on any location you desire. Something like Protective Qi Barrier would be shattered in one blow.]
[Active Skill: Pixie’s Dimensional Vault]
[Grade: Advanced]
[Proficiency: F]
[You can use Pixie’s nearly infinite Dimensional Vault.]
[Think of it as a type of Inventory. The capacity is infinite. Though its value would be considerably lower for a Player, that is.]
[Pixie’s Mirror World]
[Grade: Advanced]
[Proficiency: F]
[Cooldown: 3 Days]
[For 1 second, you can enter Pixie’s Mirror World. The isolated realm ignores all attacks that do not interfere with space itself.]
[By inserting your body into another dimension, you can evade most attacks. However, skills that interfere with space itself can penetrate and enter, so be careful about that.]
Skills incomparable to those of an ordinary shop’s Advanced Grade offerings.
Except for cases like dimensional storage, whatever I purchased would grant considerable advantage. Kang Jun-hyeok could not decide easily.
‘I want not merely powerful skills, but skills with their own distinct characteristics.’
The next Floor is the 50th.
Given the nature of that Floor, even Kang Jun-hyeok did not know what would unfold.
For that reason, I wanted to prepare as thoroughly as possible. As I continued browsing skills, I paused.
[Active Skill: Pixie’s Magic Power Control]
[Grade: Advanced]
[Proficiency: F]
[Cooldown: 24 Hours]
[For 3 seconds, you can gain Pixie’s Magic Power Control ability. Skills usable during that time are limited to Pixie’s skills.]
“This one.”
Kang Jun-hyeok pointed at the skill with his finger.
“What exactly does it mean?”
[It’s simple. Literally, you can temporarily gain my Magic Power Control ability.]
The lofty strength of Pixie, who had reached the realm of a Transcendent—I could gain her Magic Power Control ability.
From the description alone, it was an extraordinarily powerful skill, but Pixie’s expression was ambiguous.
[The problem is that during those 3 seconds, the use of all other skills is forbidden. You can only use skills that I’m attached to.]
A severe restriction was imposed on the Player. The activation of the skill could instead become a weakness. That was not all.
[Moreover, gaining my control ability means you feel my senses. Probably… you won’t be able to handle it.]
The tale of one who coveted omnipotence, yet could not endure it and went mad, was far too common.
Pixie’s Magic Power Control was an ability that could not be wielded without the proper qualification.
[You must be able to handle a Transcendent’s control ability, and only those who have reached the Transcendent realm can do that. And for those kinds of beings, my Magic Power Control ability is useless. It’s grandiose only in appearance and close to a trap skill… why do you have that expression?]
Kang Jun-hyeok gazed at the skill with what appeared to be delight.
