All Master of 100 Floors Episode 055
Internal Energy (1)
Finally, he had obtained what he desired.
He couldn’t suppress the laughter that flowed out. Trying to hold back his joy and excitement, he slowly checked his rewards.
He preferred to save the best for last. So first, he checked the sword.
‘In my previous life, I was just given an ordinary sword as a reward.’
Perhaps because of the Perfect Clear, the quality of the weapon was completely different. The sword that glowed white was like a work of art.
[White Light Sword]
[Type: Weapon]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Attack Power + 35]
[A famous sword passed down through generations to the sect leaders of White Sword Gate. This sword, like white light, shines alone even in darkness and boasts cutting power that can slice through steel. It is also known to be able to receive the flow of Ki without any loss.]
“Wow.”
Kang Jun-hyeok let out an exclamation.
The attack power was a whopping 35.
It easily surpassed the Goblin King’s Greatsword. Considering the difference between a sword and a greatsword, it was truly superior performance.
‘Now I can finally change my main weapon.’
Until now, he hadn’t obtained a weapon that surpassed the Goblin King’s Greatsword. That meant it was an absurd weapon, and at the same time, it meant the White Light Sword was a weapon that ranked even higher.
The effect added to the Perfect Player title was Internal Energy + 1.
It had no meaning to him right now. He didn’t have the Internal Energy stat.
But that would no longer be the case.
Finally, it was time to eat the most delicious thing.
Manbyeonggi was silent. As if it was anticipating what was about to happen.
“Now then.”
Kang Jun-hyeok took out the elixir pill. From the elixir pill that glowed brilliantly like a pearl, he could feel a strange power.
[White Sword Gate’s Elixir Pill]
[A special elixir pill that can barely be created after years of training in White Sword Gate’s secret vault. Even those without Internal Energy who haven’t trained in Mental Cultivation Methods can obtain Internal Energy if they consume it after proper preparation.]
There was no reason to delay. Kang Jun-hyeok put the elixir pill in his mouth. The elixir pill melted like liquid and permeated into his body.
The power contained within the elixir pill began to gradually settle into his body. What started as a gentle stream of water instantly became a raging torrent that surged through him.
Kuuung!
Kang Jun-hyeok’s body shook violently. The energy contained in the elixir pill ran wild, tearing through his body.
Originally, he shouldn’t have consumed it so recklessly.
A skilled master should have been beside him to control and help guide the flow of Ki. No matter how special White Sword Gate’s elixir pill was, if an ordinary human consumed it without any preparation, they would only become a cripple.
But he was not an ordinary human.
was a Player, receiving assistance from the System.
That body was truly special. The energy of the Elixir Pill that had been rushing to destroy his body began to gradually become docile.
Gather within me.
Kang Jun-hyeok commanded strongly. Following that command, the energy began to gather in his Dantian.
And finally.
[Stat: You have acquired Internal Energy.]
A strange sensation began to be felt.
Something heavy, yet deep, had settled within him.
Kang Jun-hyeok looked at his own body. It was the same ordinary body as before, but he could tell that it had qualitatively changed.
Along with that, a new sensation was felt. Not sight, touch, hearing, smell, or taste, but something completely different.
A sensation that could be called a sixth sense.
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled.
He had now obtained Internal Energy.
* * *
[Kang Jun-hyeok]
[Level: 17]
[Health: 540]
[Strength: 41]
[Speed: 35]
[Internal Energy: 12]
[Achievement: 43]
[Attack Power + ?]
[Defense + 24]
When he checked his status window, the Internal Energy stat was immediately visible.
‘It’s been a while.’
The sensation of Internal Energy. It was a nostalgic feeling. It was felt the moment he obtained Internal Energy. The Mental Cultivation Method and Sword Technique he had acquired.
[Passive Skill: White Sword Swordsmanship ]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Proficiency: F]
[The sword technique of White Sword Gate that creates countless illusions and reality using Internal Energy. Has reached the 1st level of the sword technique.]
[Passive Skill: White Sword Heart Method ]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Proficiency: F]
[The Mental Cultivation Method passed down through generations at White Sword Gate. You have become able to handle a part of this Mental Cultivation Method.]
Both were Intermediate grade.
Their effects were certain. The Greatest Martial Artist from his previous life had mastered White Sword Swordsmanship and White Sword Heart Method, using them for a very long time.
The application methods of the sword technique and the formulas of the mental cultivation method naturally entered Kang Jun-hyeok’s body and mind.
When it came to handling these two techniques, he would be able to progress at a speed far superior to others.
However, Kang Jun-hyeok had no intention of using White Sword’s martial arts.
“Then Manbyeonggi. Now it’s your turn.”
[Hmph. You really did it.]
Manbyeonggi chuckled lightly.
He had made a promise with Kang Jun-hyeok.
If he obtained Internal Energy, he would teach him his techniques.
And Kang Jun-hyeok had fulfilled that condition.
[Good. My martial arts, my techniques. I shall bestow all of them upon you.]
“That’s how it should be.”
Finally, finally. He could now handle the true abilities of Manbyeonggi that he had obtained on Floor 1.
[Normally we would need to perform a Formal Apprenticeship Ceremony, but I’ll let it slide just this once.]
“Then how should we do this?”
[My martial arts are special. Even with Heaven-sent talent and life-risking training, one can barely take the first step. But for you as a Player, such a process isn’t necessary. It’s simple.]
Manbyeonggi explained.
[I just need to project myself onto you. Then my techniques will dwell within you.]
“Simple enough.”
[However, there’s one problem. The question is whether your mind can endure it.]
“Ah.”
Understanding Manbyeonggi’s meaning, Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head.
“That part won’t be a problem.”
[We’ll see about that. You seem prepared. Then let’s begin right away. Relax your body and focus your mind.]
Kang Jun-hyeok sat in lotus position and closed his eyes. As his mind slowly began to settle, Manbyeonggi spoke quietly.
[Behold.]
In that moment, everything turned upside down.
Kang Jun-hyeok found himself in a world.
He instinctively knew. This place was his Mental World, and Manbyeonggi was now projected into it.
Kang Jun-hyeok looked at the world.
It was a desert. Sharp cliffs could be seen in the distance, and sand scattered in the harsh wind. In the towering night sky, countless stars spread out as if they would pour down.
And in the middle of the desert, someone was there.
His face wasn’t visible. He could only tell it was a man with a sturdy build.
The man, who had been quietly gazing at the sky, reached his hand toward Heaven.
And slowly clenched his fist.
In that moment, a strange sensation overwhelmed Kang Jun-hyeok.
The man was simply reaching his hand toward the sky and clenching his fist.
But he could tell intuitively. When the man clenched that fist, he could literally shatter Heaven.
This world is something so fragile and light that it can be crushed by just one person.
Common sense and concepts collapse. A massive presence overwhelms Kang Jun-hyeok. A presence that would shatter even the mind of one who has reached enlightenment through meditation devours the world.
And at the end of it all.
Kang Jun-hyeok returns to his original world. Manbyeonggi mutters as if amazed.
[You returned more intact than I expected. I thought you’d be half-broken.]
“…Is that your past?”
[Probably so. Though I don’t know what you saw.]
Kang Jun-hyeok let out a bitter laugh.
A presence and power that could shatter the heavens with just a reach and grasp of the hand.
The class was different. Literally.
Even in his previous life, he had rarely seen someone with such class. What he had just witnessed was merely a fragment, not even the entirety of Manbyeonggi.
“You really are an incredible guy.”
[I’ve told you repeatedly. This lord is great.]
Manbyeonggi spoke indifferently.
[You should start getting the feel for it now.]
As Manbyeonggi said, he began to feel the results of his projection, that experience, those techniques. Kang Jun-hyeok closed his eyes and organized those sensations.
And at the end of it all.
[You have acquired Passive Skill: Divine Technique.]
[You have acquired Passive Skill: Mental Cultivation Method.]
* * *
He had obtained it. Manbyeonggi’s martial arts.
But it was different from what he expected. Kang Jun-hyeok made a puzzled expression.
“Why is it empty?”
[Passive Skill: Divine Technique]
[Grade: Unique]
[Proficiency: F]
[The divine technique of the fallen one. It is completely empty.]
[Passive Skill: Mental Cultivation Method]
[Grade: Unique]
[Proficiency: F]
[The mental cultivation method of the fallen one. It is completely empty.]
The grade was Unique. A special martial art that was one of a kind.
But the truly important content was completely empty. Manbyeonggi explained.
[This lord has abandoned everything. My experiences, my past, even the name I called myself. What such a being can project to you is only an empty vessel. You must fill that vessel.]
“How am I supposed to fill it?”
[It’s not difficult. It’s quite simple.]
With those words, a system window appeared.
[Passive Skill: White Sword Swordsmanship has been integrated into Passive Skill: Divine Technique.]
[Passive Skill: White Sword Heart Method has been integrated into Passive Skill: Mental Cultivation Method.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened.
[Passive Skill: Divine Technique]
[Grade: Unique]
[Proficiency: F]
[The divine technique of the fallen one. All streams return to their source, everything eventually reaches the great trunk.]
[Integrated Techniques]
[1. White Sword Swordsmanship (Intermediate)]
The Mental Cultivation Method was integrated with the same content.
[My martial arts lie in the ultimate principle, other martial arts are merely part of that profundity.]
“…What you’re saying is.”
[Collect other martial arts and mental cultivation methods. They will be integrated into my martial arts and fill the empty parts. Then someday it will regain its original form.]
“Wait a minute.”
Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been thinking for a moment, frowned.
“…Are there martial arts that won’t integrate?”
[None. At least as far as I know. All martial arts that exist in this world will be integrated under my divine technique.]
“Hah.”
Kang Jun-hyeok let out a hollow laugh.
Manbyeonggi spoke nonchalantly as if it was nothing, but the meaning contained within was by no means small.
Manbyeonggi’s divine technique had forcibly integrated White Sword Swordsmanship.
Skill integration only occurred when there was a clear superior compatibility.
In other words, all martial arts that exist in this world were inferior versions of Manbyeonggi’s martial arts.
There might be divine techniques of equal rank that Manbyeonggi didn’t know about, but considering Manbyeonggi’s caliber, that possibility was extremely low. It was beyond Kang Jun-hyeok’s imagination.
“This is no joke.”
[What did you think I was?]
“No. It’s beyond imagination. By the way, it seems you used to handle swords.”
White Sword Swordsmanship had been integrated. He couldn’t help but think that Manbyeonggi’s divine technique was related to swords.
But Manbyeonggi acted as if asking what nonsense he was talking about.
[You seem to have forgotten what I’m called now.]
“You’re called Manbyeonggi…”
Kang Jun-hyeok stopped mid-sentence. He frowned.
“Wait. Then.”
[I am Manbyeonggi. I can contain ten thousand weapons. Naturally, that means I also handled that many weapons.]
Manbyeonggi spoke quietly.
[Footwork Technique, Body Technique, Spear Technique, Leg Technique, Blade Technique, Staff Technique. That’s not all. From Taoist Internal Energy to Demonic Arts, Poison Arts. It doesn’t matter what it is. I have mastered them all. Devour all Martial Arts to fill my Divine Technique and Mental Cultivation Method. Then you will be able to wield my Ultimate Techniques.]
