Transcendent Genius Trainer – Episode 182

Sky Thunder.
True to his name, Choi Mu-ju was a Trainer who wielded Lightning Mana with his hands.
He swung his hands wrapped in lightning, stimulating an Awakener’s Mana Road and moving their Mana Circuit.
With powerful lightning, Awakeners could forcibly recover internal wounds or heal themselves through the stimulus of the electricity.
Lightning is swift.
It can burn everything, but it can regenerate everything as well.

In his prime, Choi Mu-ju could manipulate this rough and fierce Lightning Mana freely.
Because of that, he became an S-rank Trainer, accumulated countless achievements, and built a formidable reputation.
Training S-rank Awakeners at the Master Guild.
Training an S-rank Awakener from the God of War Guild who had suffered a critical injury and was struggling with rehabilitation, and later joining the Tower of Clouds and Mist as a Trainer to lead its conquest together.

Back then, S-rank Awakeners would line up wanting to receive training from Choi Mu-ju, and the status of the Sky Thunder Choi Family soared to the heavens.

But as time passed, the Lightning Mana came calling for its debt.
In exchange for allowing him to spend a brilliant prime, it had taken away his entire remaining future.
The Choi family held hope.
Choi Mu-ju was the one among the Choi family members who handled Lightning Mana most overwhelmingly.
It seemed as though the Lightning Mana itself bowed to him—so perhaps he could overcome this.
Or perhaps he might even be able to control this Lightning Mana that descended like a curse upon the Sky Thunder Choi line.
But Choi Mu-ju had not lived up to that hope.
And until now, this had remained on his shoulders as helplessness and guilt.

“Sigh…”

Standing before an Awakener created by the VR Machine, Choi Mu-ju looked at his own tingling hand.
In the past, how many Awakeners had he trained with this Sky Thunder?
No matter what problem an Awakener carried, it didn’t matter.
He’d had confidence he could train them all.
But he wasn’t that way anymore.

“Then I’ll begin.”

Choi Mu-ju recalled what Yujun had just said.

—Once this training ends, even this worst Awakener will become easy to train.

It meant he could return as a Trainer.
Not only maintaining the position of Family Head of the Choi family earned through past glory, but living again as an active Trainer.

A thin laugh escaped him.
Imagining that future made him smile.
It sounded far more impossible than training the Awakener right before his eyes.
And yet.

“I’ll trust you.”

All he could do was trust.
Crackle-crackle-crackle-crack!
Choi Mu-ju swung the Sky Thunder.

Choi Mu-ju’s proper training had begun.
Snap. Crackle-snap.

Yujun began observing Choi Mu-ju intently.

—Heavenly Eye activates!

He needed to see his Lightning Mana first using Heavenly Eye – Extreme.
Crackle.
The rapidly rotating Lightning Mana far exceeded the circulation speed of mana that ordinary Awakeners moved.

‘Most eyes would struggle to even catch the movement.’

Swift circulation.
And amplification.

After observing the Lightning Mana for five minutes, Yujun immediately grasped the Geumgang Sacheol Staff.
Then he carefully thrust it toward Choi Mu-ju’s abdomen.

‘I’ve seen it with my eyes. Now I need to feel it with my body.’

He had to experience this fierce Lightning Mana with his own body.
Lightning Mana is a double-edged sword.
At the moment the Geumgang Sacheol Staff pierced Choi Mu-ju, it could explode and devastate his insides, and moreover, it could travel along Yujun’s own body and burn him to ashes in an instant.

‘Lightning is quite fast, after all.’

Everything could end in a single moment.
The Lightning Mana gathered periodically in the abdomen before dispersing and gathering again.
That’s why Yujun deliberately thrust the Geumgang Sacheol Staff at the abdomen.

‘First, I observe the reaction.’

Gulp.
Watching the Geumgang Sacheol Staff thrust toward his abdomen, Choi Mu-ju’s eyes trembled.
He understood. If Yujun made even the slightest mistake, the Lightning Mana would rampage, and both he and Yujun would be gravely injured.
Or more precisely—Yujun was in greater danger.
A Trainer who had tried to train him before had even died.

“Breath!”

Because of this, he couldn’t focus on the Awakener before him.

‘No, I trust him.’

Snap. Crackle-snap!
He shook his head and refocused on the training.
To receive proper training, the trainee had to create the conditions the Trainer wanted.
Probably he wanted to see the state of his body during training.
Then he needed to draw out the Lightning Mana.

Crackle-crackle-crack!
The Lightning Mana circulated.
As the Mana circulation occurred at tremendous speed, lightning spread outward into the surroundings.
Snap.

And lightning accumulated in his hand.
Boom!

He struck the Awakener’s body with electrical stimulation.

“Breath!”

He struck the Mana Circuit hard with Lightning Mana, first restoring the circuit backflow to its proper state.
In the meantime.
Yujun, connected through the Geumgang Sacheol Staff, felt the power of the Lightning Mana.
Tingle. Tingle.
A sharp pain accompanied the numbing sensation throughout his body.
A burning pain.

‘It’s fast. Far too fast.’

Lightning Mana was not a power that could be easily controlled.

‘It’s not a power that can be subdued or controlled.’

Yujun bit his lip.
Then he continued to endure the pain and observe Choi Mu-ju’s training.

‘Hmm.’

Choi Mu-ju was conducting the training admirably while withstanding the force of this Lightning Mana.

‘Smooth.’

Moreover, he was grasping the interior of the body quite rapidly with Lightning Mana.

‘Lightning Mana is rough.’

Any slight loss of control would have incinerated the Awakener’s entire insides.

‘He’s using that powerful lightning skillfully with fine control.’

It was clear why he had earned the epithet “Sky Thunder.”
Next, Choi Mu-ju moved his hand here and there, striking the Awakener as if acupuncturing pressure points.

“Use your ability.”

Choi Mu-ju spoke to the dummy Awakener.
The Awakener immediately used their ability.

Flames burst forth!
Yujun had set the dummy Awakener’s ability to the simplest flame ability.
So intense flames spread around the Awakener.

But the power rose due to a Mana Collision and then stalled.
Then Choi Mu-ju moved his hand.

‘He prevented the Mana Collision.’

Yujun nodded at the sight.
The Awakener he had created in the worst state was being trained step by step.

‘But micro-hemorrhaging is occurring.’

Yujun saw the Lightning Mana severely scraping the Mana Road inside Choi Mu-ju’s body.

Snap.
Heavenly Eye – Extreme continued to observe Choi Mu-ju’s body.

‘Micro-fractures are intensifying and the red glow is growing stronger.’

Boom-snap. Boom-crackle-crackle!

‘This isn’t a problem in one specific part of his body.’

The Lightning Mana enveloped his entire body.

‘His entire body.’

In the end, the place Yujun needed to train was Choi Mu-ju’s whole body.

“Ugh.”

Choi Mu-ju felt extreme pain in his hands.
Normally, he shouldn’t have stopped here. But the pain forced him to halt the training right then and there.
A low groan escaped him.
It was something an S-rank Trainer should never do.
His pride was wounded.

“I’ll continue. Just give me a moment to catch my breath.”

How embarrassing to show such a pathetic state before this junior.
No matter that the man had come to train him, he didn’t want to display such incompetence.
But Yujun shook his head.

“That’s sufficient.”

The problem was now clear.
But he wasn’t yet confident in how to solve it.

‘His entire body has already been damaged by the Lightning Mana.’

Even if he trained in this state, there would be limits.

“I’ll attempt a training method I’ve done before.”

Then there was a good approach.

‘But this current state won’t do.’

His current ability was insufficient.

Shimmer-shimmer-shimmer!

‘My Heavenly Eye isn’t enough.’

With Baek Hyeon-jin, the hero, already in a devastated state, it had been quite difficult to see, though not impossible.
But Choi Mu-ju’s current state was harder.

‘The Lightning Mana is blocking me.’

This Lightning Mana that Choi Mu-ju had honed over decades stood as a barrier before Yujun.

“…What kind of training?”
“I’ll push out everything inside and rebuild it anew.”
“…!”

Choi Mu-ju’s eyes widened.
It was a training method that defied reason.

“To do that… wouldn’t I need to rebuild everything from the Mana Circuit down to the Road? I have Lightning Mana inside my body. Lightning Mana I’ve honed over decades. To overcome that Lightning Mana and accomplish all of that…”

Choi Mu-ju’s words trailed off.
Hadn’t he just witnessed it?
How fierce the Lightning Mana was.
How rapidly it incinerated everything it touched.

“Yes. I’m aware.”

Yet Yujun still nodded.

“It’s difficult, but not impossible. Rather, it’s entirely possible.”
“…”

Choi Mu-ju met Yujun’s gaze.
Where did such confidence come from?
Even though he’d just witnessed everything, how could this man speak of standing against this Lightning Mana?
His lips slowly parted.

“I hope the Association Head won’t hold resentment toward me. And moreover, I don’t wish to create a situation where the people of South Korea resent me.”

Yujun was someone who had given hope to Korea as it declined.
A genius who made it possible to compete with overseas forces.
If such a Yujun were to die here…

“There’s no reason that will happen.”

Yujun spoke with absolute certainty.
Then he grasped the Geumgang Sacheol Staff firmly and thrust it straight at Choi Mu-ju’s abdomen.

“Because I won’t die.”

Crackle-crackle-crackle-crackle-crack!
As Yujun, with determination, swung the Geumgang Sacheol Staff to completely collapse Choi Mu-ju’s insides, the Lightning Mana reacted fiercely.

He had spoken confidently to Choi Mu-ju, but he still wasn’t certain how to overcome this Lightning Mana.
So for now, he decided to reset Choi Mu-ju’s body condition first.

‘Burn brighter.’

That way he could see the interior more clearly.

‘Attack me.’

While the Lightning Mana focused on him, the power blocking the interior would have no choice but to scatter.
Yujun concentrated all his strength in his eyes.
He had to see.
All the way. To the very depths.

—Heavenly Eye – Extreme proficiency increases.

Yujun’s eyes began to pierce through the Lightning Mana.

He wasn’t actually trying to pierce the Lightning Mana, but rather Choi Mu-ju’s body interior.
That way he could confirm the Mana Circuits and safely destroy them all before rebuilding.
But the moment Heavenly Eye – Extreme’s proficiency reached its limit.

—Heavenly Eye – Extreme has reached its growth limit!
—Heavenly Eye – Extreme levels up!

Yujun’s pupils glowed red.
Red lightning spread wildly into the surroundings.

As if standing against the blue lightning of the Sky Thunder Choi line.

—You can consume Points to level up Heavenly Eye – Extreme!

Yujun didn’t hesitate and selected it.

—Points are consumed!
—50000 Points consumed!

Shimmer-shimmer-shimmer!

‘The Lightning Mana…’

Yujun was momentarily startled.

‘I can see the core of the lightning.’

Something that shouldn’t be visible was beginning to appear.

—True Eye has awakened!
