Transcendent Genius Trainer 244

It was absurd.
The dwarves stared at Yujun in bewilderment.
They had already explained what method they’d used to withstand this water pressure…….

“When we first conquered the 6th Floor, we used our clan’s treasure. Thanks to that, we were able to endure the water pressure.”

But it had been quite a strain—the moment they broke through, the treasure shattered.

“The Conquest Grade we obtained that way…… was D.”

They’d challenged despite losing their treasure, only to achieve a grade that could be obtained simply by passing through.
But S-rank?
Was it even possible to achieve an S-rank Conquest Grade on this water pressure floor?

“We appreciate your intention to give us hope, but…….”

Of course, the dwarves assumed Yujun was saying this to encourage them.
But that was fine.
They already had some confidence thanks to Yujun’s training.

“And with the Mandrake Root, things should work out to some degree.”

This Mandrake Root was an herb that gave a sudden surge of Mana.
The price was temporary hearing loss, but the Mandrake Root was essential for conquering the 6th Floor.

Uref had resolved to make a true sacrifice on this 6th Floor.
He intended to become a shield and let everyone pass instead of relying on treasure.
If he advanced using the Iron Body Transformation skill minimally, he could endure a certain amount of water pressure and push the other dwarves forward.

“Of course, thanks to Trainer Kang, I can now use Iron Body Transformation properly. If I use the Mandrake Root well, we might just manage to conquer the 6th Floor safely.”

Uref possessed determination and hope.
Of course, it wouldn’t be easy.

“With Trainer Kang helping us, we have all the more hope.”

Yujun didn’t answer back directly.

‘Showing them is more effective.’

There was no need to convince them with words.

‘This is my first time actually experiencing the water pressure floor directly.’

Suffocating pressure.
A body grown heavy.
It was only natural to feel fear about moving forward.

‘Certainly, with this kind of pressure, it’s understandable to be afraid.’

Yujun moved forward one step.

‘The key to the 6th Floor isn’t enduring this water pressure and advancing. It’s something else.’

There was a flow to this invisible water pressure.
Read the flow. Then move.
Yujun advanced slowly forward.

“Trainer Kang!”

Uref and the other dwarves stared in shock.
Yujun was a trainer.
Without someone in front to block the water pressure, the body could twist completely.
Yet Yujun advanced without hesitation.

-True Eye activates!
-Thought Acceleration!

Knowledge he already possessed created synergy with the True Eye.
As Yujun continued forward without stopping, the dwarves panicked.

“Shouldn’t his breathing be cut off by now?”

He should have stopped after advancing that far.
He should have been forced to stop.
Yujun wasn’t using any body-strengthening ability like Iron Body Transformation. He was simply moving forward.
Of course, not in a straight line—he moved in a zigzag pattern.

But water pressure acts on the entire space.
Moving in a zigzag like that shouldn’t reduce the impact at all.

“What in the world is this…….”

While they muttered, Yujun stopped at a certain spot.

“From now on, everyone moves according to my instructions.”

He turned and addressed the dwarves.

“I can see the flow of this 6th Floor’s water pressure with my eyes. As long as you don’t go against the flow, you’ll be fine. Move with the flow.”

Yujun gestured toward them.

“From this moment on, I control all your movements.”

Then he issued instructions to the dwarf at the very front.

“Three steps forward. Then use your ability and wait.”

The dwarf moved according to his instructions.

Fierce water pressure crashed down, but he chose to trust Yujun first.
Following Yujun’s words, he took three steps and then activated his Power of Earth ability.
Whoooosh-!

“……?”

The water pressure that had crashed down suddenly weakened.
The moment Yujun confirmed this, he issued instructions to another dwarf.

“Kuller. Two steps diagonally.”

Something was happening.

‘Avoiding the flow of water pressure and, at the same time……’

Dispersing the force of the water pressure to make advance easier.

‘This is so much easier when I can see it.’

Conquering this 6th Floor was far easier than when he’d dealt with the Tower of Infinity.
With this approach, they could reach a grade higher than S-rank.

‘It’s a matter of time.’

The grade was determined by how much time was spent and how well this 6th Floor was understood and broken down.
It seemed like they could achieve a higher grade with this strategy.

‘Let’s make sure to get the full reward.’

The dwarves moved in perfect unity according to Yujun’s commands.
They moved as swiftly as chess pieces, yet they were baffled—why wasn’t the water pressure affecting them?
The pressure was definitely there.
This intense oppression hadn’t disappeared at all.
But when they moved according to Yujun’s instructions, the pressure vanished in an instant.

“Is he using magic or something?”
“No, he’s a trainer…….”

There was only one thing they could discern.
Kang Yujun’s eyes were clearly seeing something they could not.

‘From here on…….’

The initial water pressure could be navigated without harm just by reading the flow and advancing. But from this point forward, that wouldn’t work.

“Uref.”

Yujun placed Uref and the four other dwarves with the strongest builds in front.

“When I give the signal, swing your axes.”

Yujun ordered them to advance.
And.

“Now!”

At the signal, they swung their axes with full force in one direction.

Screeeech-!
The flow of water pressure split apart.

“Four steps forward.”

Again, four steps.

‘Here.’

Yujun smirked and brought the Geumgang Iron Staff down on the floor.

-You have destroyed the Water Pressure Core!

Boom-!
The water pressure acting on this entire floor was created through this Water Pressure Core.

“The pressure is…….”

The water pressure’s force began to weaken.
Yujun set his direction.

“This is the core that strengthens the water pressure. We’ll destroy all of them.”
“How…… did you know such a thing existed?”
“It’s similar to training you.”

Yujun nodded as he spoke.

“I simply scanned the entire floor.”
“……?”
“……?”

Scanned the entire floor?
It was incomprehensible by their standards.

“So…… you’re saying you scanned this 6th Floor and trained…… in a way?”
“In a manner of speaking, yes.”
“…….”

Could a human trainer train even the Tower itself?

“I’ll split it again.”

‘Now I can do it simultaneously.’

Having destroyed one Water Pressure Core, he now had the leeway to do so.
Thud-!

“Your stance has collapsed.”

While reading the flow and advancing the dwarves, Yujun began training them simultaneously.

“……Can you train us at the same time like that?”
“Yes. Focus.”
“……Yes!”

One step. Another step.
With each step forward, the dwarves grew stronger. The water pressure no longer pushed them back so easily.
In fact, advancing became far easier as they learned to cut through the pressure.
Uref in particular had grown larger than before they entered.

“You’re even bigger than in your prime, Uref.”

Uref had not only recovered his physique from his peak years but had grown even larger than that.
Screeeech-!
Thanks to Yujun’s training, Uref was now immersed with wild intensity.

Each swing made him stronger.
He had no choice but to concentrate.
Boom!

-Water Pressure Core destroyed!
-Water Pressure Core destroyed!

“The last one!”

With Yujun’s command, the final Water Pressure Core of the 6th Floor was destroyed.
Crash-!

-All cores of the 6th Floor have been destroyed!
-6th Floor conquest successful!
-Measuring 6th Floor Conquest Grade!

6th Floor conquest complete.

“I failed to keep my promise.”

Yujun smiled, looking at the Conquest Grade.

“No, you didn’t fail to keep your promise…….”

Uref and the dwarves stared at Yujun in utter bewilderment.
Their pupils were dilated with shock.
They’d thought even S-rank was impossible.
But…….

-Conquest Grade: SS

Conquest Grade SS.
They were learning for the first time that this grade actually existed.

“Since the promise was S-rank.”

Yujun smiled wryly.

“Could we hear about how you conquered the Tower of Ashes?”

Yu Je-na, Woo Ha-na, Im Seok-jae, and Lee Su-yeon, who had climbed the Tower of Ashes with Yujun, were continuing interviews after returning to their respective guilds.

Major media outlets bombarded them with questions about how they’d conquered the Tower of Ashes.
All of South Korea was curious about it.

“We heard that even the Upper Guilds and SS-rank Awakeners couldn’t do it.”
“Yes, that’s right. Before going in, we heard it was incredibly difficult.”

Lee Su-yeon spoke cheerfully during the interview.

“But…… I’m not sure.”
“What?”
“Not sure about what…….”
“Literally. I couldn’t tell if it was difficult.”

The reporters all looked shocked.
They’d interviewed members from Blue Dragon, Sunlight, and Master Guild before, and they’d never heard an answer like this.

On top of that, Dream Guild.
They’d interviewed Han Gyu-jin and he’d said the Tower of Ashes was the most difficult tower he’d ever conquered. He’d said that unless one was an SSS-rank Awakener from overseas, it would be difficult to conquer, and even those SSS-rank Awakeners would struggle more as they climbed higher.

It didn’t seem like bragging.

Because of that, the reporters knew her character well.

“Trainer Kang Yujun was at the center of the floor conquests. We just followed Trainer Kang Yujun’s training.”

And Im Seok-jae, Yu Je-na, and Woo Ha-na were giving the same interview elsewhere.

“……What?”
“It wasn’t difficult?”
“That doesn’t make sense.”

It wasn’t difficult.
It wasn’t as dangerous as they’d worried.
It was the complete opposite of what all the others they’d interviewed had said.

“And…… none of them got hurt at all.”

Awakeners who entered the Tower of Ashes typically came out wounded.
Even Master Guild, which had entered slightly later than Yujun, had many members with serious injuries.
Yet this group had hunted even the 5th Floor Boss and emerged unscathed.
And their numbers had been small too.

“If there’s a difference…….”
“It’s just Trainer Kang Yujun alone.”

There was only one difference between them.
Whether or not Kang Yujun was included.

“Huh…….”
“Trainer Kang Yujun. Your skills have gotten better, haven’t they?”
“How could they get any better than that?”

At the same time.
At the Awakened Person Management Bureau.
Director Lee Ji-tae was receiving an additional report.

“It seems Trainer Kang has…… conquered the 6th Floor.”
“……What? But his team is outside?”
“That’s…….”

The Management Bureau official delivering the report also looked bewildered.

“We can’t ascertain the details.”
“Then how did you find out about this?”
“It came from an employee who was stationed overseas. He’s near the Grey Tower, the Tower of Ashes counterpart in England, and he obtained information that Trainer Kang conquered the 6th Floor. We’ve confirmed it to be accurate…….”

Director Lee Ji-tae’s expression became indescribable.

“This is…… something to be glad about, certainly!”

How was Yujun moving so freely through that terrifying Tower of Ashes and conquering it?

“Director! Additional report coming in!”

Another official rushed in urgently.

“Trainer Kang Yujun has conquered the 7th Floor……!”
“……?”

Director Lee Ji-tae let out a hollow laugh and decided to stop thinking altogether.
