Chapter 40
What he would use.
It was points.
Points that increased by 6 per level.
Now that he had added Formation Master, they increased by 8 per level.
Of course, unlike other professions, Formation Master was obtained late, so there was still a gap. Anyway, the points he had accumulated were considerable.
Even now as he approached level 40, he hadn’t used them except when raising his Analysis level or similar occasions.
He was planning to use them extensively this time.
“I’ll use points on Three Origin Kill Sword.”
Directly on Three Origin Kill Sword!
But there was a twist here.
[Three Origin Kill Sword is at 6-star mastery.]
[7 points are required to raise Three Origin Kill Sword to 7-star mastery.]
“Huh…?”
Usually, the amount needed to raise one skill level was 1.
As levels gradually increased, it would grow more than that.
But martial arts followed a different trajectory from other things.
“Huh. It takes 7? Is it because 12-star is grand mastery?”
It required a lot of points, but it was intuitive.
The amount needed to go from 6-star to 7-star was 7.
8-star would definitely be 8.
Then the total required amount would be 57.
“That means I need to pour in about what would raise my level by 6.”
57. It wasn’t a small amount.
But thinking about what came after, it wasn’t an amount he couldn’t raise either.
‘It took two months to create the sword technique. It took longer than expected. I can’t delay any more time.’
His decision was quick.
“I’ll use the points. Until grand mastery.”
[Using points to raise Three Origin Kill Sword mastery to 7-star.]
[Using points to…]
.
.
[Congratulations!]
[You have achieved grand mastery of Three Origin Kill Sword!]
“Whew…”
Immediately, understanding of Three Origin Kill Sword flooded in.
Even for him who created the sword technique, things he didn’t know. No, all the understanding he would need to gain someday rushed in at once.
These were things difficult for even Jung Myeong, who was approaching the peak, to easily understand.
Starting lightly from the sword’s movements.
Embedding the profound principles within.
Weaving speed and illusion to advance further.
Only after combining all the techniques he could use as a Martial Artist.
“…Is it over?”
It led him to the realm of true grand mastery.
Thus, just like when he achieved grand mastery of Three Origin Poison Art, he obtained the desired effect.
[The grade of Three Origin Kill Sword is rising.]
[Three Origin Kill Sword’s martial art grade is set to first-class.]
The grade of Three Origin Kill Sword itself rose as it achieved grand mastery.
Yes. The enlightenment and understanding he just gained was the foundation for this very moment.
‘With this, it has become a first-class grade martial art.’
It wasn’t a strange occurrence.
In fact, even when learning the same martial art, didn’t the power differ according to mastery and achievement?
Just like how achieving grand mastery of even the low-grade martial art Three Talents Sword Technique showed power beyond first-class.
Originally, when martial arts achieved grand mastery, such things happened.
‘It’s common sense that power becomes stronger than when first learned. The system simply called it a grade.’
He had simply used points forcibly to pull future time forward.
Up to this point, if other Martial Artists achieved grand mastery of martial arts.
It would all happen to everyone.
However, he had no intention of stopping here.
“There’s still one step left.”
Last time. There was something he gained when achieving grand mastery of Three Origin Poison Art.
The title Grade Transcender.
Wasn’t there something he gained along with receiving that grand title?
Jung Myeong was about to use what he had saved up.
“I’ll use the Martial Art Grade Upgrade Ticket on Three Origin Kill Sword.”
It was the Martial Art Grade Upgrade Ticket he gained as a special reward!
Raising the grade while in grand mastery state.
Simple, but the most efficient method!
[Using Martial Art Grade Upgrade Ticket on Three Origin Kill Sword.]
[The grade of Three Origin Kill Sword is rising.]
[The Three Origin Kill Sword is classified as Peak grade!]
And so, another level up!
He elevated the sword technique that had just advanced from second-rate to first-rate even further.
From first-rate to Peak!
The Three Origin Kill Sword transformed into a Peak-level martial art that ordinary Martial Artists could hardly dare to obtain, even before considering divine techniques or supreme arts.
It was a metamorphosis.
It was like evolution itself.
The moment he obtained it.
“Krrgh…”
The price of forcibly raising his level struck Jung Myeong all at once.
As if scolding him for daring to covet the Peak when he hadn’t even reached Peak level himself.
A massive wave struck his mind.
Tremble tremble tremble tremble.
His body began to shake. His face turned red beyond measure, as if it would burst.
More than that, his brain Inside felt like it would burn up.
Peak-level enlightenment pouring down like a whirlpool!
Not leaving a single point behind.
It was pouring down on him like a constellation!
“Kraaaah…!”
A scream burst forth.
A hair’s breadth of enlightenment brings ecstasy.
Higher-dimensional enlightenment transforms a person.
But what happens when such enlightenment pours down like waves?
It was something one could not easily endure.
‘What the hell is this…’
Energy filled Jung Myeong’s entire body.
Enormous pressure that felt like his body would burst erupted from within.
Meanwhile, his head, which should have controlled it, could barely digest the enlightenment.
Neither reason nor body.
He couldn’t get a grip on either one.
At this rate.
‘My body will burst and I’ll die…!’
He would meet death unable to digest it.
That couldn’t happen!
How had he run this far?
To meet death unable to obtain just this one enlightenment.
Wouldn’t that be too futile!
His survival instinct activated.
Thump- Thump- Thump-
As his heart beat loudly, he instinctively sought his own path to survival.
‘Right. Release it! I need to release it…!’
And so the method he came up with was one thing.
If he felt like bursting from taking it all in, then pour it out!
He instinctively gripped a Sword in his hand.
Swiiiiish-!
And began swinging it wildly.
Like a madman. As if there were no rules whatsoever. Like a Child who knew nothing about swordsmanship.
Then at some moment.
“…”
His reason sank deeply.
He succeeded in imbuing dignity into the Sword he swung by instinct.
Instead of screaming, he thrust his Sword.
He succeeded in planting his own intent within it.
In the Sword gripped in his hand.
Whoooosh-!
Dense Sword Energy was condensed.
* * *
“Hah…”
When he came to his senses, the surroundings were in chaos.
Jung Myeong let out a deep groan at this.
While simultaneously trying to suppress the strange heat he felt in his body.
‘Even after rampaging like this, it’s still heated up.’
Rather than a Martial Artist, he considered himself a Physician.
That’s how he had thought of himself.
But somehow, after reaching Peak level, it didn’t seem to be the case.
His body, forged like tempered steel, was still crying out.
To rampage more. To struggle even harder.
“Well now. I still haven’t properly digested it, have I?”
From second-rate to first-rate.
From first-rate to Peak level.
It was a Martial Art grade he had forcibly elevated.
To reach this level right after mastering such a Martial Art.
Didn’t this seem to have elevated him one level, no, one dimension higher?
‘Even though I haven’t fully gathered all the enlightenment given like a constellation, it’s already this much.’
It was an unexpected turn of events.
If he had known such pain and crisis would come, it would have been madness he absolutely wouldn’t have attempted.
On one hand, it was also dizzying.
‘If a peak-level martial art is this much… transcendent peak, and even divine absolute level… Whew. I can’t even imagine.’
Higher grade martial arts.
What kind of depth would such things possess.
It was a vastness felt from being curious yet simultaneously fearful.
“If I attempt a higher grade, I think I’ll die…”
If reaching peak level is this much, then transcendent peak or higher…
“Mmm…”
Beyond going crazy, I might even die.
I’d prefer if such a thing didn’t happen.
‘Bad premonitions always seem to come true though.’
For some reason. I have a feeling that someday I’ll be forced to pull up martial arts beyond this level.
Anyway. I survived for now, didn’t I.
“As planned. No, it went beyond the plan.”
Having gained power, the preparations were complete.
Now it was time to move again.
‘To move… I should find that first.’
He gathered a few remaining items from the chaos and stepped outside.
To move toward what comes next.
As if someone was pushing his back to go out faster.
“Physician! Are you alright?”
“Why are you out here?”
The person he was looking for was already outside waiting.
* * *
The person Jung Myeong was looking for. It was Song In.
Because he needed his help to carry out what comes next.
But he was already outside.
“Well, with such explosive sounds coming out, wouldn’t it be strange not to come out?”
“Were those explosive sounds loud enough to pierce through the training room?”
“It would be strange if they couldn’t be heard.”
At first he wondered how he was outside.
Even if something happened inside the training room, it would be difficult for the outside to know.
Because the formation installed inside the training room would block it.
But that wasn’t the case.
“Try looking behind you once.”
“Huh…”
The wall of the training room he turned to look at.
That place had cracks running through it as if hit by thunder bombs.
In several places, the wall even protruded outward as if explosions had occurred.
These were traces of impact from the sword energy he had unleashed inside.
‘That was excessive indeed.’
It was only natural that Song In was surprised by this.
However, what would surprise him wasn’t over with just this.
“By any chance, are you making thunder bombs now too?”
“No way. No matter how you look at it, that would be impossible for me.”
“Then what on earth happened inside here?”
“I finally completed it.”
There was nothing to hide from him.
Song In was the one who helped him before obtaining the sword technique.
Jung Myeong immediately told Song In the truth.
The fact that he had succeeded in creating a sword technique.
“What? Completed… Don’t tell me…!”
“That ‘don’t tell me’ you’re thinking is probably correct.”
“!!!!!”
“I succeeded in creating the sword technique I mentioned before. No, I gained even greater enlightenment. That is the trace of it.”
“Huh… When you first said you were going to create a sword technique, I thought you were attempting something impossible.”
“But I did it, didn’t I? Hehehe.”
“…Honestly, it’s hard to believe.”
Traces of shock were evident.
However, traces on the wall were also evident.
He had definitely accomplished something.
But had he succeeded in creating a martial art.
That was another matter. Couldn’t one say they created a sword technique after creating just one martial technique.
‘The physician wouldn’t be that type of person though…’
Looking at Jung Myeong’s usual conduct, it didn’t make sense, but it was truly unbelievable.
So it was natural for Song In to be confused.
It wasn’t like Jung Myeong didn’t understand him.
After all, he had accomplished something truly absurd.
“I understand.”
“…Yes.”
“And I’d like to help you understand while we’re at it.”
“Pardon?”
There happened to be an easy way to make him understand.
Something any Martial Artist would agree with.
Jung Myeong mentioned it.
“Let’s combine it with the next matter.”
“Don’t tell me….”
“Let’s have a match. As we promised before.”
“Heh heh heh….”
A competitive spirit bloomed on Song In’s face.
