Chapter 155
155: Baeryujin’s Seasonal Technique (1)
Five days had already passed since I began training under Baeryujin.
Though our pace had slowed somewhat, we’d made such steady progress that only about twenty days remained until the Treasure Map Destination—a reduction I could scarcely have achieved otherwise.
Had I not trained while traveling, I would still be far from our goal.
And the visible effects extended beyond merely closing the distance.
Though I lacked the words to fully explain it, Baeryujin’s systematic and rigorous training, combined with my ability to intuitively grasp his methods and translate them into practical understanding, had accelerated my growth beyond measure.
Even as we accelerated our pace, Jiyuchan and Hanalin continued their sparring match, exchanging swordplay and magic with Baeryujin.
At first glance, their command of power and momentum seemed comparable to an upper-tier C-rank Hunter, yet the reality was far different.
These were numbers I should never have been able to perceive, yet at least I could see them.

‘I’ve gotten considerably stronger.’
Once one of my stats reached 100, I’d be eligible to advance to a B-Rank Zone, so I could already be considered a mid-tier C-rank Hunter.
However, judging solely by the momentum and power I was outputting, I wouldn’t be exaggerating to call myself an upper-tier C-rank Hunter.
After all, the martial arts, magic, and techniques that the Dohyun Party was employing were each extraordinary in their own right.
If Hanalin and Jiyuchan were like that, what about Dohyun?
By the time we’d reached this point, Dohyun had grown considerably stronger as well.

‘I’ve gotten quite strong myself.’
Stats had stopped increasing easily once they hit 60, yet here I was, on the verge of reaching 80—which was remarkably encouraging.
Even compared to Hanalin and Jiyuchan, I was overwhelmingly superior.
Jiyuchan had evenly developed physical stats up to the mid-70s and pushed Strength to 79, but his Mana was low, while Hanalin had broken through the wall of 80 Mana, but her physical stats were considerably lacking.
For a swordsman like Jiyuchan and a mage like Hanalin, it was unavoidable, but for me to have such high Mana while also maintaining high physical stats across the board was simply absurd.
‘What kind of monster am I… seriously.’
It was nearly impossible, so Baeryujin was quite astonished as well.
Talent aside, it was nearly impossible for both the body and magical power to grow so evenly in tandem.
For Baeryujin, who hailed from Hwadaejuk—a continent known on Earth as similar to the martial arts worlds of fiction—it appeared as though the mind, body, and spirit were growing in perfect synchronization, which made it all the more remarkable.
Baeryujin shook his head at Dohyun’s bizarre abilities, wondering how such a monster could possibly have come into existence.
He thought there was nothing left to be surprised about.
‘To reach the pinnacle of understanding the subtleties of Analysis in just five days.’
Watching Hanalin and Jiyuchan rapidly grasp Dohyun’s explanations and apply them in practice was certainly remarkable progress.
All three possessed neither arrogance nor complacency; rather, their inquisitive spirit and determination to advance shone even brighter than their talent itself, and Baeryujin suspected this synergistic effect arose from such qualities.
Yet Baeryujin felt genuine regret.
The reason being—
‘How truly lamentable.’
Now that Baeryujin understood Dohyun possessed talent that transcended common sense—a prodigy beyond compare—he could only feel regret.
Dohyun was already mastering various martial arts, and Baeryujin had hoped his own techniques would be passed down to future generations through Dohyun, yet the reality made such wishes impossible.
Transmitting martial arts was different from transmitting the subtleties of technique.
To interpret what lay within a martial art, one ultimately needed the incantations and formulas, which had to be explained through words or writing—yet the restrictions imposed by the Black Gate made this impossible for Baeryujin.
Thus, Baeryujin could only lament his inability to transmit his martial arts.
It wasn’t merely about leaving behind a successor; rather, he wished to find at least vicarious satisfaction in knowing that Dohyun, wielding his martial arts, would protect the world of his own accord.
Because such feelings existed, he could only feel regret.
Since he still lived, the secret manual that the Dohyun Party called their scripture could never come into being, and even if it did, there was no guarantee it would reach the Dohyun Party—so he could only feel sorrow.
‘There’s nothing to be done about it.’
Around the time Baeryujin harbored such thoughts, Dohyun was thinking something similar.
It was truly regrettable and lamentable.
[The grade is too low. Analysis fails.]
‘I know already….’
During his training with Baeryujin, the endless stream of messages caused Dohyun considerable stress as he lamented the situation.
And for good reason.
‘It’s definitely A-Grade or higher.’
Though he couldn’t be certain, the martial art Baeryujin wielded felt decidedly beyond A-Grade.
Since Dohyun was already mastering both Cheongmyeong Jichang and the Platinum Sword King—both A-Grade spear and sword techniques—he could discern this more clearly.
If both Cheongmyeong Jichang and the Platinum Sword King were foundational techniques created first to master advanced martial arts, then the flame technique Baeryujin currently wielded felt unmistakably like an advanced art.
Whether from the extraordinary momentum he sensed, the sheer power, or the flow of the technique itself, the grade felt far beyond anything Cheongmyeong Jichang or the Platinum Sword King could match.
After all, his Analysis had declared the grade too low to analyze—so he was certain of this assessment.
However.
‘It’s difficult to ask him to teach me.’
Even in mere martial arts novels, one doesn’t reveal their secret techniques to just anyone. How much more so in reality?
Though Dohyun didn’t know the actual culture and customs of Hwadaejuk well, he didn’t think they would differ greatly from the worlds depicted in martial arts fiction, so he couldn’t easily ask for transmission of the technique.
Moreover, considering that Baeryujin was bound by restrictions from the Black Gate and couldn’t speak, wouldn’t transmission be entirely impossible?
While both lamented their shared predicament, the Dohyun Party continued toward their destination, still in the midst of training.
Originally all three had sparred simultaneously, but after switching to having Baeryujin face them one at a time, Jiyuchan and Baeryujin were now engaged in combat as they ran.
Kwaaaaaaang―――!!!
“Ugh.”
Even as Jiyuchan defended with the Golden Sword’s initial technique, the Golden Fortress, it melted and crumbled away. Through the gaps of the dissolving fortress, flames surged forth like lightning, piercing and striking with devastating force.
The power was so immense that it hardly seemed like an attack delivered by mere fists alone.
As the flames of Hongryeom shot forth along Baeryujin’s fist, Jiyuchan desperately blocked it, employing other techniques to evade and nullify the assault however he could.
Using the subtle mysteries of martial arts, he neutralized Baeryujin’s attacks, and Baeryujin continued his relentless assault against him.
Though not directly engaged, Dohyun and Hanalin felt the intense heat from their distance and marveled at Baeryujin’s martial prowess.
Hanalin, too, was not well-versed in martial arts, but perhaps because of the overwhelming presence she could sense?
“It seems to be a martial art of a higher grade than the ones we use or our magic.”
“Undoubtedly.”
Dohyun nodded seriously in agreement.
Hanalin couldn’t see the system window without Dohyun’s Analysis, so she couldn’t intuitively grasp how vast the difference between A-Grade and S-Grade techniques truly was, but she could sense enough to know they were fundamentally different.
It was around this time that Dohyun was watching Baeryujin with envious eyes.
[You have repeatedly and continuously attempted to analyze high-grade martial arts with ‘Analysis’.]
[As a result of repeatedly analyzing despite the grade difference.]
[Analysis has succeeded.]
[You have analyzed Baeryujin’s supreme martial art—”Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique [S]”.]
[You acquire the martial art—”Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique [S]”.]
[100,000 AP is consumed.]
[Insufficient AP is replaced with P.]
[You have successfully analyzed a martial art with an overwhelming grade difference.]
[You acquire 50,000 AP.]
‘Wait?’
This actually worked?
