Transcendent Genius Trainer – Episode 124

The sight of a muscular man towering well over six feet two inches wailing in agony was nothing short of pathetic.
Tan had exacted her revenge on Pyotr Volkov to the full measure of the pain she’d endured.
Someone might have stepped forward to stop it, but given the severity of Pyotr’s despicable conduct, no one made the attempt.
Even among Pyotr’s own team, no one stirred to intervene.
They simply pressed their foreheads in their hands and sighed.
Yujun called Tan off at precisely the right moment.

“Tan.”

That was truly enough now.
Pyotr had finally lost consciousness, and there was no point in continuing the assault.

“Huff.”

Tan exhaled through her nostrils.
Her expression was quite satisfied.
In truth, she’d been struck by the whip only a handful of times.
But the number of times she’d been struck by the Black Storm Blade had exceeded dozens.

“That’s enough now.”
“Huff.”

Yujun stroked Tan gently, then turned toward Pyotr’s team and offered a polite apology.

“I’m afraid we’ve been quite rude. My apologies to Pyotr’s team.”
“Not at all. It was merely an accident, after all.”

It had been an accident.
A minor incident sparked by Pyotr’s excitement.
An insufficiently trained dragon, caught up in his fervor, had simply caused a small commotion.
Several members of Pyotr’s team carried the unconscious man away.
The remaining members bowed deeply to Yujun.
They knew better than anyone just how foolish what Pyotr had done truly was.
But he was their trainer, and there was nothing to be done about it.
They served him knowing full well what kind of person he was.
Hans, having witnessed the entire sequence of events, pressed his lips firmly shut.
Hans too harbored considerable displeasure with the situation, much like Pyotr.
But he did not allow that emotion to drive his actions.

“Let’s go.”

Instead, he promptly led his team away from the location.
The dragon training had concluded, and there was no longer reason to remain.

“Pathetic.”

Sarah Jennings clicked her tongue as she observed the two men.
Then she approached Yujun and offered her praise.

“That was an excellent training session.”
“Only thanks to the training you demonstrated first.”

Yujun, having answered Sarah Jennings respectfully, then turned to Wei Long, who had drawn near, and expressed his gratitude.

“This training was a success thanks to both of you.”
“What are you saying? We only showed you our failures.”
“Trainer Kang succeeded through his own efforts. In fact, I was wondering what to say about you following my methods.”

With those words, there was nothing left to say.
At the same time, there was gratitude.
To be told that success had been achieved based on his own training methods.

“I’ll remember your name.”

Sarah Jennings had a habit of easily erasing unimportant things from her mind.
But today’s events were now clearly etched into her consciousness.
Kang Yujun. A trainer from South Korea.
A nation she had given no thought to until now suddenly demanded her attention.

“I suspect we’ll meet again.”

Kang Yujun would become a world-class trainer.
When that happened, they would inevitably cross paths frequently.
There were many tasks requiring trainers, and truly exceptional trainers were scarce.
Sarah Jennings raised her hand to her team members.

“We failed spectacularly. Let’s head back and prepare a new training regimen.”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”

Sarah Jennings’ team began tidying up their belongings.

“I’ve heard that the caliber of South Korean trainers is nothing to speak of. So that was all overblown talk, was it? If you’re an A-rank Trainer, I wonder just how remarkable the S-rank Trainers must be?”

Wei Long gave a hollow laugh and gestured to his team members.
His team members, who arrived in an instant, boasted the largest number among the four trainers present.

“Kang, would you perhaps give me your number?”

Yujun received the phone and readily entered his number.

“Trainer Wei, you were the first to—”
“Isn’t this almost the first time Wei Long Trainer has ever asked for someone’s number?”
“I’ve never seen it happen.”

Wei Long’s Awakened Ones, as well as the others present, were utterly astonished.
World-class trainers frequently collaborated with one another.
As a result, members of their respective teams often knew each other already.
This was why everyone was so surprised to see Wei Long behave in such a manner.

“I’ve entered your number.”

Yujun handed the phone back to Wei Long.

‘A trainer with much to learn.’

In particular, the training involving blood manipulation held considerable merit for Yujun.
Today’s focus had been on dragon blood, but he was genuinely curious about how training targeting Awakened Ones might differ.

‘And he deliberately made a point of speaking before so many witnesses.’

It appeared he was intentionally elevating Yujun’s standing.
If the other party was extending such courtesy, Yujun had no reason not to reciprocate with goodwill.

“I’ll definitely be in touch. With someone like you… it might just be possible.”

Wei Long left behind these cryptic words and departed.

With that, of the hundreds of personnel who had been present in the Neutral Territory, only Yujun, Gyu-cheol, and the Administration Office staff remained.

“We’ll assist you, Trainer Kang. Once you’ve completed the paperwork, you’re free to depart immediately!”

An Administration Office employee offered these words with an awkward expression.

“Since you’ve come all this way, perhaps it would be nice to enjoy some sightseeing before you go!”

He then handed over a travel brochure.

“Gyu-cheol, would you like to do some sightseeing?”
“No, sir! We need to go back and create the Kilo Gauntlet!”
“Huff.”

Yujun likewise had no intention of sightseeing.
This was not the time to enjoy tourism, but rather to take the next step forward.

“Right then. Let’s just handle the paperwork and head back.”

***

Russian Administration Office.
Not far from the Neutral Territory stood the Russian Administration Office.
Given Russia’s vast landmass, the Administration building itself was quite imposing.

“Like a castle.”

It was a magnificent structure resembling a grand medieval fortress.

“Seems deliberately designed that way.”

With its emphasis on grandeur and tradition, merely gazing upward at it inspired a sense of awe.

“Please wait just a moment! Feel free to wander anywhere within the Administration Office! Simply wear this visitor pass, and you’ll be fine!”

The Administration Office employee asked them to wait briefly, then rushed off hurriedly.

“Rest here, Gyu-cheol.”

Yujun, leaving Gyu-cheol behind, made his way to the Training Ground.
Following Fen, Tan had become Yujun’s new Contracted Demon Beast.

‘Now that we’ve formed a contract, I need to verify it. What abilities does she possess.’

And he needed to confirm whether those abilities could be utilized in training.

“Fen was instrumental in improving the efficiency of real-world training.”

Fen’s contributions had certainly been significant in resolving the matter of the Insect Tower.

‘Though I keenly felt just how inadequate she was.’

Yujun wondered whether Tan might help fill those gaps in capability.

‘With both Fen and Tan at my disposal, I can conduct far more realistic combat training.’

All Awakened Ones experience a shift in their breathing when entering a tower.
It’s possible that with two Demon Beasts, I could draw out that same breathing even outside the tower.
If that becomes possible, training wouldn’t merely approximate real combat—it would be real combat itself, and I could elevate Awakened Ones to even greater heights.

‘It’s probably a feature that appeared in the Tower of Infinity at some point.’

If subsequent content hadn’t been implemented, Yujun could simply implement it himself.

Whoosh—

“Tan.”

Yujun called to Tan.
Black flames erupted from near his heart, coalescing into the form of a small dragon.

“Grrrowl—”

The summoned Tan stood naturally at Yujun’s side.

“Well-made, I must say. And in such a short time too.”

Attached to Tan’s wings was the Correction Artifact that Kim Gyu-cheol had crafted.
It was an artifact designed to reduce pain and maximize recovery speed.

“News of Gyu-cheol will surely spread overseas from here.”

Upon his return home, tales of Kim Gyu-cheol would also break loose.

‘Like it or not, the Geumgang Kim Family will have to take notice.’

Conflict was inevitable.
But there was nothing wrong with that.
Yujun intended to see that Kim Gyu-cheol received proper support from the Geumgang Kim Family.
They might attempt some unwelcome schemes, but that too was fine.

‘Because when that time comes, I can simply take everything worth taking.’

“Awakened Scan.”

Yujun checked Tan’s status window once more.

“Skill Verification.”

He then opened the skill window.

‘There are so many undeveloped skills that I couldn’t properly examine them before.’

Yujun currently possessed over 40,000 points.

‘Any skill worth using, I can develop it without hesitation.’

-Verifying skills of the Dark Dragon of Destruction, Pargonia!-

Crackle—!
Dozens of skills.

‘Even the main skills have many that remain undeveloped.’

Apart from the Auxiliary Skill that Yujun had opened—Song of Destruction—virtually all other skills remained locked.

‘Open one main skill.’

Whoosh—
Then one Auxiliary Skill caught Yujun’s eye.

-Contract Skill [Soul Link]-

‘A contract skill?’

It appeared to be a skill that had newly emerged from forming the contract with Yujun.

‘I didn’t see this skill when I opened Song of Destruction.’

-Develop Soul Link?-
-Required Points: 3,000P-

The required points weren’t even particularly high.

‘Perhaps because it’s a skill that emerged from the contract?’

Yujun searched his memory for knowledge.
Soul Link. He’d definitely heard the name before.

“Ah.”

A memory suddenly came to mind.

“A skill that connects soul to soul—this one.”

It was similar to the Synchronization skill he’d learned from the Awakened Training System.
Where Synchronization transmitted actions directly to the target, Soul Link connected the souls themselves.

‘If I recall correctly, this was originally an innate ability.’

Only an extremely small number of Auxiliary Awakened Ones possessed this skill.

‘Wait, if that’s the case—’

Tan possessed dozens of skills.
Most were undeveloped, but with point investment, all could be developed.

‘That means I could use all those skills?’

Yujun’s eyes widened in surprise.

‘Not just Song of Destruction—there are countless skills useful for training.’

Yujun carefully developed the Soul Link skill.

-Soul Link skill developed!-

Whoosh—!
The moment Soul Link developed, a black thread connected Tan and Yujun.

-Soul Link!-
-Souls are connected.-
-You can now use Pargonia’s power!-

Yujun immediately activated the skill.

“Song of Destruction.”

Whoosh—!

-Self-recovery power fills your hands!-

“…”

Yujun smiled as he regarded the self-recovery power coursing through his hands.
Slide—
Grasping the Crystal Staff and channeling his power, the energy flowed to its tip instantly.

‘I can now recover any training subject as needed.’

Yujun immediately summoned Fen.
Whoosh—

“Criiing—!”

Fen, upon summoning, had been in continuous recovery since returning from the Insect Tower.
She had perfectly protected Yujun, but had sustained considerable injuries in the process.
However, since Fen possessed her own self-recovery skill, he’d been letting her rest without additional treatment.

‘If I apply this Song of Destruction to her—’

Whoosh—!
Yujun struck Fen’s mana lode with the Crystal Staff.
As the skill’s power flowed in, Fen’s recovery speed began to accelerate rapidly.
The mana flowing through her lode grew fierce, and her body’s circulation proceeded swiftly.

‘Recovery speed has increased dramatically.’

It was a power capable of completely overturning the training methods Yujun had thus far established.

“With this power—”

All the training approaches he’d previously been unable to attempt due to constraints could now be conducted.
A deep smile blossomed on Yujun’s face.

“I can employ a completely new methodology.”
