Chapter 269
269: Am I Perhaps… Stronger Than I Thought?(1)
Until yesterday, the concept of the dantian had been nothing more than something from martial arts novels to me, but now it was different.
Below my navel, a coiled mass of refined mana—inner energy—settled heavily at my core, and rising above it, near my heart where martial arts novels called the middle dantian, natural mana itself coiled and took residence.
The two forces, transmitted heavily to the center of my body, filled me with a profound sense of satisfaction.
However.
‘This is incredible. But unlike what I’ve read in martial arts novels, there’s no foul stench?’
In martial arts cultivation, reaching a certain realm naturally triggers the body’s reconstruction—a rebirth of the flesh—but it hadn’t occurred. No acrid stench assaulted my nostrils, no black liquid emerged, nothing of that sort appeared.
Well, that was fiction anyway, so I let it slide.
Regardless.
Now that things had come to this, I couldn’t help but check my status window.
My status window, which I was opening for the first time in what felt like an eternity.

『Points』

‘Wow.’
My status window was certainly shorter than before, though still quite lengthy.
I could see my mana had achieved a dazzling surge in growth.
Observing that all my stats, along with mana, had now surpassed 100, I gazed at them with satisfaction.
And on top of that, inner energy had manifested.
Moreover, with the surplus capacity from inner energy, I could see that Analysis had naturally added the Grand Path Flawless Step to my arsenal.
Smiling at the sight, I channeled inner energy into one of my hands.
Then.
Whirrrrrr—.
Without any deliberate effort, my inner energy naturally condensed around my hand, radiating a sharpness akin to sword energy.
As heat shimmer rose and energy bloomed of its own accord, the resulting sharpness far surpassed what ordinary mana-based sword techniques could achieve.
And here, I applied one more layer of condensation.
Rather than merely condensing, I visualized the Plague Lord dwelling within my soul as I compressed the energy, and gradually the violet-tinged aura coalesced into a violet-tinged strong qi that enveloped my hand.
‘Wow.’
In martial arts, this was the realm of strong qi that even masters recognized—or should I call it hand qi since I manifested it through my palm?
Regardless, having reached that level, I gathered my enlightenment and even dispersed the toxic strong qi once more.
The realm of compressing energy infinitely by infusing it with intent—now that I could wield strong qi, my expression brightened considerably.
At the same time, I thought to myself.
‘It would be great if I could teach this cultivation method to the others….’
Since I’d gathered mana in my heart through the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, if I organized this enlightenment into a proper cultivation method and transmitted it to Hanalin, her mana would surely increase and her magical power would rise as well.
Moreover, if I enabled Jiyuchan and Hezway to develop inner energy, the effect would undoubtedly be substantial.
With just this alone, we could lay the foundation to rapidly ascend to A-Rank, so it was certainly useful.
‘I’d say we’ve already surpassed the halfway point of B-Rank.’
Just as I was about to ask Analysis if this was possible.
Analysis took the initiative and displayed text before me.
[「Celestial Technique of Ten Thousand Transformations [SS]」cannot be transmitted.]
[If transmitted, ■■■ ■■■ ■■■ will notice.]
Seeing the garbled characters suddenly appear before my eyes, I blinked in thought.
What was this about?
Well, it was still unknowable, but it felt like roughly nine characters in total.
In any case, since it couldn’t be revealed now, Analysis must have concealed it. Thinking that way, I nodded.
Though I did find this somewhat disappointing.
[You can create or replicate a new cultivation method instead.]
At those words, I blinked in realization.
Since I’d replicated a cultivation method this time, couldn’t I replicate it again if I had the necessary materials?
For that, though.
[You must enter a Library Storage of at least Gold-Grade or higher.]
Analysis was right.
Having grasped that much, I murmured.
“And I’ll need to check various things resembling cultivation methods when I go to Matap, won’t I?”
To my question, Analysis answered clearly.
[You must go to Matap and find mana cultivation methods.]
While Analysis was nearly omnipotent, creating something without materials was still difficult. Everything I’d created so far was only possible because I’d accumulated various things step by step, so it was regrettable but unavoidable.
Of course, even this.
‘It’s because my rank is insufficient.’
I was acutely aware of my limitations.
I often wondered if, without Analysis, I could have even formed a Party with Hanalin and Jiyuchan. I could only think that Analysis’s inability to fully display its power was my fault.
As I was digging through these thoughts.
[No.]
As Dohyun lifted his head, wondering if Analysis was trying to console him, the skill conjured more words.
[It is true that Analysis cannot exert its full power due to the user’s insufficient rank, but Analysis has determined that you would have reached a higher position than Hanalin and Jiyuchan even without Analysis.]
Since Analysis had spoken, it was truth—and those words soothed the turmoil in Dohyun’s heart.
In reality, without Dohyun’s Analysis, neither Hanalin nor Jiyuchan could have grown to this extent.
Though their talents and abilities were exceptional, the truth was that without clearly recognizing them and providing direction, even such brilliant talents could be buried in mud.
Feeling grateful for the help once again, Dohyun rose from his seat.
Digging tunnels didn’t suit his nature.
Training was far better use of this time, so Dohyun’s eyes gleamed as he headed toward the Training Ground where everyone had gathered.
‘If they haven’t mastered it yet, I’ll have to teach them.’
And at that moment, Dohyun’s inner energy suddenly writhed and surged toward his eyes, causing him to turn his head with a brilliant gleam in his gaze.
In that instant, his eyes met those of the Black-Robed Martial Artist at the edge of the Safe Zone.
And then.
‘Huh?’
* * *
Atlas Safe Zone, located at the center of Bultegore’s spine.
Shadows crept cautiously around it.
Even within the Safe Zone, they moved without releasing their concealment, acting in secrecy—and since no one in this vicinity seemed to notice them, the shadows demonstrated mobility that spanned tens of meters with mere undulations.
The Black-Robed Martial Artist led the charge, with the Black Bamboo Hat Assassin and the Black Dark Robe Assassin close behind him.
Though it was called a request, the target was one of the Six Superior Races. A single moment of carelessness could turn the tables, so they moved with utmost caution.
At the edge of Atlas, where the building where the Yongin Clan dwelled was visible in the distance.
The three stopped there and heightened their perception toward the building.
“According to intelligence, a party including the Yongin princess and a member of the Golden Generation has already arrived.”
“Then we simply wait until they emerge.”
“This is always the most tedious part of the job.”
As the Black Bamboo Hat Assassin spoke, the Black Dark Robe Assassin—slightly more senior—replied. The Black-Robed Martial Artist, their leader, nodded as well.
Though this waiting period was indeed tedious and bothersome, it was unavoidable for the sake of the request.
“The Yongin are sensitive to mana, to presence and killing intent. Among the six races, they’re most sensitive to killing intent. So even at this distance, we can’t be completely at ease.”
“Understood.” “Acknowledged.”
The Bamboo Hat Warrior and Secret Agent acknowledged the leader’s words and heightened their perception, watching the building intently. It was at that moment when the Black-Robed Martial Artist turned his gaze toward the building as well.
Behind him, he felt something like a phantom—a sinister form with gaping jaws—and his eyes met those of someone within the building.
“…A human?”
Inside the building, Dohyun had just released his uncomfortable transformation magic, and their eyes met. The moment he muttered those words, light flashed before his vision, and Dohyun’s form appeared before him.
He thought it might be teleportation, but sensing the lingering resonance of inner energy flooding through the space, the Black-Robed Martial Artist’s eyes wavered.
A mere fraction of an instant.
The moment his pupils trembled, the Black-Robed Martial Artist moved forward, but even that was slower than Dohyun.
In that fleeting moment where even an insect’s wingbeat seemed to slow, Dohyun’s kick, wreathed in bluish-white energy, struck the Black-Robed Martial Artist’s abdomen, while bluish-white energy bloomed in Dohyun’s hands as he seized both the Bamboo Hat Warrior’s and Secret Agent’s faces simultaneously and launched himself upward.
Transcending the sound barrier into the silent world of Mach speeds, Dohyun kicked off the rooftop and sent the Black-Robed Martial Artist flying, bouncing out of the Safe Zone toward the distant cliff as Dohyun himself soared after him.
And then the sound followed in its wake.
BOOOOOOOOOM—!!!
Fwoooooooooosh—!!!
Crack!!!
Fwoooooosh———!!!
As a gust of wind lashed out with a sharp kick, tearing through the air with a sonic boom, the Black-Robed Martial Artist slammed into the cliff face, carving out an enormous hole as if drilled by some colossal machine. The Black-Robed Martial Artist buried within erupted from the crater.
Dohyun then dove into that very spot, driving the Bamboo Hat Warrior and the Secret Agent simultaneously into the ground, gouging out two long trenches.
Screeeeeech—!!!
Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom—!!!
From within the massive crater, the Black-Robed Martial Artist rose, still dazed from the impact, while the Bamboo Hat Warrior and Secret Agent remained stunned. The Black-Robed Martial Artist moved toward Dohyun instead.
The Black-Robed Martial Artist drew a long greatsword.
Moving in kind, he descended like a butterfly, trailing the faint metallic scent of inner energy in his wake.
Secretive and swift, yet undulating gracefully—above all, his approach was elegant.
Formidable martial prowess unfolded as he unleashed his swordsmanship toward Dohyun.
Unlike the graceful butterfly-like footwork, the blade descended with the weight of a dark sky itself, pressing down from all sides, aiming to sever Dohyun’s neck.
Heavy yet impossibly swift—the sound itself lagged behind. As the black-tinged greatsword reached Dohyun’s throat, a violet-hued aura surged upward from below.
Boom—————!
Screeeee—!!!
As the violet aura erupted, a belated surge of energy erupted with sound. The violet aura instantly melted the greatsword the Black-Robed Martial Artist had wielded, leaving only the hilt. The moment the Black-Robed Martial Artist retreated at the sight of that violet aura—
“Ugh!!! Cough, cough.”
Black blood spilled from his mouth, veins bulging grotesquely up his neck.
Watching the creature succumb to poisoning with startling speed, Dohyun chuckled and spoke.
“Maybe I’m pretty strong?”
As Dohyun spoke with a smile, the Black-Robed Martial Artist, even as his organs dissolved in agony, found himself muttering involuntarily.
“Monster… bastard….”
Dohyun replied to those words.
“You forgot the ‘insane’ part.”
“Wh… what?”
