100th Floor All Master Episode 263
58th Floor. Successor to the Wudang Sect. Jin In (4)
“……Ha, hahaha, hahaha! Hahahaha!”
Jin In, who had been silent for a long time, burst into laughter as if he could no longer contain himself. He looked at Kang Jun-hyeok as if bewildered.
“You did it. You actually did it! And in a way I never could have anticipated!”
Rather than gaining enlightenment, he had analyzed and deconstructed the structure itself, piecing it together like tatters to achieve the result. He had never even imagined it possible to reach such heights in that manner. It was absurd and miraculous—he simply couldn’t bear it.
“Now I understand why those two entrusted you with their very being! You are not one who follows the existing laws of nature! You are one who forges new laws and carves new paths!”
As a cosmic being, Jin In could not measure Kang Jun-hyeok’s abilities by any standard.
He had come to realize this truth only now, far too late.
“For someone like me to test you. I’ve truly done something foolish. Hahahaha!”
Jin In’s laughter gradually subsided. He nodded, his face flushed with excitement.
“A perfect result—no, a result that transcends perfection. I thought one week would be insufficient, yet you have time to spare. Do you intend to return immediately?”
“No.”
Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head. He needed to verify the power he had obtained.
First came the skills whose proficiency had risen. Kang Jun-hyeok opened his skill window.
[Passive Skill: Control]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Proficiency: B]
[Ability to control all things. Grants near-absolute control over oneself and the environment within a certain range. One can perceive the phenomena, concepts, structures, and principles of all occurring phenomena. By reading all such concepts and variables, one can suppress and regulate situations. One can maintain near-perfect control over oneself.]
[Passive Skill: Death Line Awakening]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Proficiency: B]
[The awakening of life at the threshold of death. When facing mortal danger, the mind strengthens and senses expand. Consciousness expands, and all power and speed increase dramatically. Time slows and thought accelerates endlessly. One reaches realms normally beyond reach. If damage sufficient to cause death is received, health becomes 1 a single time and the bearer survives. However, all stats are consumed and the bearer enters an exhausted state.]
Control and Death Line Awakening.
Both were intermediate-level passive skills, famous for proficiency that rose at a dismally slow pace. Yet both had already reached proficiency B. It was a miraculous speed that no one else could match.
As Control reached B, an additional effect was added: the ability to maintain near-perfect control over oneself.
Kang Jun-hyeok raised his hand. Internal Energy flowed through his meridians. It transformed into Mana, then shifted again into Divine Power. The motion was as natural as flowing water.
Kang Jun-hyeok grasped his sword and unfurled the Tae Heo Mu Byeon.
The Tae Heo Mu Byeon unfolded by his senses alone, without activating a skill.
Until now, he couldn’t even maintain its form properly without auxiliary support.
But that was no longer the case. Using only Internal Energy and without any additional aids, he succeeded in forming the shape of the supreme principle and stabilizing it. Manbyeonggi, observing this, murmured softly.
[Clean.]
Control near ‘perfection.’
That was the literal meaning. The flow of Internal Energy was so smooth that even Manbyeonggi found it difficult to criticize.
For someone so lacking in natural talent, it was nothing short of a magnificent transformation.
And the transformation of Death Line Awakening meant that when taking lethal damage, health becomes 1 a single time, allowing survival.
It was a simple yet powerful effect. He could either tank an opponent’s self-destruct technique barehanded and shrug it off, or trigger his own self-destruct to overwhelm his opponent. Though the drawback of entering an exhausted state remained, it was a change that could alter the outcome of battle.
[Active Skill: Tae Heo Mu Byeon]
[Grade: Supreme]
[Proficiency: F]
[Cooldown: 3 days]
[Creates an endless supreme principle, drawing in all forces and sending them across infinite distance in a charge. Still extremely unstable—without the user’s constant support, it rapidly collapses.]
And the true reward of the 58th Floor.
Kang Jun-hyeok slowly drew the sword.
[Tae Heo Mu Byeon.]
The skill activates. His body moves of its own accord as an endless supreme principle unfolds.
Surprise flickered across Jin In’s expression as he watched.
Kang Jun-hyeok’s movements were truly flawless.
Even to Jin In’s own eyes, there was nothing to criticize—it was the Tae Heo Mu Byeon itself. It was as if this unfolding had been predetermined from the start.
Bzzt-bzzt-bzzt.
The unfolding Tae Heo Mu Byeon gradually twisted. Kang Jun-hyeok tried supplementing it by drawing forth Mana and other forces, but it couldn’t hold and shattered apart.
Screeeech!
“Even obtained through a skill, it’s unstable. Quite significant,” murmured Kang Jun-hyeok, clicking his tongue.
Jin In asked him in a trembling voice.
“Is that… a skill from the Tower itself?”
Kang Jun-hyeok nodded.
Skills from the Tower do not follow the laws of the Universe.
They are simply manifested.
Even the ultimate principle of a genius held no meaning. Jin In let out a hollow laugh.
“If such things are possible, then there was no need to master the Tae Heo Mu Byeon in the first place, was there?”
“The Tower’s reward system is not unconditional to that extent.”
The Tower’s compensation structure is determined by what results the Player achieves.
Though Kang Jun-hyeok employed heterodox methods, he succeeded in fulfilling the quest conditions of the 58th Floor.
Thus he obtained the skill itself called Tae Heo Mu Byeon. It would be impossible to obtain through conventional means.
[I thought you’d manage one way or another, but it’s still surprising. Never did I imagine seeing the Tae Heo Mu Byeon unfold in another’s hands.]
Manbyeonggi murmured.
This was not a matter confined solely to Tae Heo Mu Byeon.
The ultimate principles of Transcendents. The Divine Authority of Gods and Demon Lords.
Techniques that could not be passed to others, ultimate techniques belonging to oneself alone—Kang Jun-hyeok could deconstruct and obtain them like the Tae Heo Mu Byeon.
[I find myself curious anew.]
Where exactly will Kang Jun-hyeok reach? Kang Jun-hyeok answered lightly.
“Watch from beside me.”
[Very well. I shall observe from the front row.]
After that, Kang Jun-hyeok continued activating Tae Heo Mu Byeon repeatedly.
Since it was manifested through a skill, its form was highly stable. However, only in the moment of activation was it stable—maintaining it required Kang Jun-hyeok to provide constant support.
‘To use it properly, I’ll need to blend at least two or three skills together.’
But it was a skill worth the effort.
Tae Heo Mu Byeon was not about blocking, deflecting, or absorbing.
It was about trapping within an endless supreme principle and sending enemies to distances they could not reach.
As such, it transcended even the Victors. It swallowed up even the gaps Kang Jun-hyeok had torn through before, scattering them apart.
In terms of pure performance, it was on par with or exceeded the Divine Authority of Gods. It was an ultimate principle unique to Jin In, scarcely found even in the Universe.
After that, Kang Jun-hyeok continued training with Tae Heo Mu Byeon through the remaining time.
And finally, one week had passed.
“It’s time to return now. Here. Take this.”
Jin In handed over a blade. It was a blade overflowing with spiritual energy and bearing an air of antiquity.
“My own blade, passed down through the Wudang Sect. But now it has no further use. It is yours now.”
“Thank you.”
“That’s my line.”
Jin In, with a faint smile, declared loudly.
“I, Jin In, was here! I, Jin In, passed the Tae Heo Mu Byeon to Kang Jun-hyeok!”
In his previous life, Jin In had wandered freely across the Universe.
But he had fallen into despair and ended his own life.
And in this life, Jin In was trapped on the 58th Floor, unable to venture beyond into the Universe.
By all appearances, his circumstances were more wretched than before.
Yet he appeared profoundly satisfied. At least his face was not one of someone contemplating suicide. Jin In slowly bowed before Kang Jun-hyeok.
“I thank you with all sincerity. I pray that you will change the future, that you will achieve the results we could not reach.”
Kang Jun-hyeok nodded. With a satisfied expression, his body was transported to Earth.
[58th Floor Quest Clear.]
[Reward is determined according to your achievement.]
[Confirming achievement rate……]
[Confirmation complete.]
[Achievement Rate: 100%]
[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional rewards are being issued.]
[The effect of Title: Perfect Player has been added.]
[0 Gold has been awarded.]
[Perfect Clear Reward [Active Skill: Tae Heo Mu Byeon] obtained.]
[Perfect Clear Reward [Weapon: Jin In’s Blade] obtained.]
[Players with Perfect Clear on 58th Floor: 1.]
[You alone!]
[Universal Announcement.]
[Please congratulate everyone across the Universe! A Perfect Player has emerged on the 58th Floor. An achievement never before accomplished!]
[Achievement +8]
* * *
[Jin In’s Blade]
[Equipment Slot: Weapon]
[Grade: High]
[Attack Power +150]
[A special blade inherited by Jin In, the 24th Successor of the Wudang Sect. Crafted by master artisans from across the Murim, created for one possessed of innate genius.]
A blade granting 150 attack power. It easily surpassed the weapons he had carried previously.
He had never obtained blade technique before, but it didn’t matter. His unique passive skill, King of All Weapons, granted him proficiency with ten thousand weapons.
The effect of Perfect Player title was Internal Energy +3. After confirming this, Kang Jun-hyeok called Pixie and conveyed his memories to her. Pixie let out a soft sound.
[Jin In…… so that bastard came through here. I thought the ones outside would start stirring soon. He made quite the resolve.]
“He seemed satisfied with his choice.”
[At least there’s that mercy. That Jin In—he’s a tragic fellow. Born with talent, but the Great War ended before he could fully awaken. I’ve long lamented it……but now, meeting you seems to have eased that regret somewhat.]
Pixie, having said so, soon regarded Kang Jun-hyeok with curiosity.
[But Tae Heo Mu Byeon. I never thought you’d manage to obtain that ultimate principle. And the process was quite remarkable. It’s practically patchwork.]
“Yet the form of Tae Heo Mu Byeon was achieved.”
[That’s what’s remarkable. To form a shape from such patchwork. You truly are separate from us, distinct.]
That was no bad thing for Pixie. She grinned broadly.
[So where will you reach? My curiosity never ends.]
[600 Starlight.]
Kang Jun-hyeok continued training with Tae Heo Mu Byeon for three days.
And after time had passed.
He immediately entered the 59th Floor. The 59th Floor’s content was quite simple. Moreover, it was a floor well-suited to testing the abilities he had accumulated.
[59th Floor Quest.]
[Pass the Trial of the God of Strife.]
