Chapter 135

Level 2 Player

Immortal Knight

Jin-su’s words gifted a large shock to Cheon Mu-seong.

‘To think I can do the training of correcting the energy, qi, and spirit every time I eat an elixir. Why did I not think of such a thing?’

Cheon Mu-seong had continuously made efforts to rise to a higher realm so far. He pushed himself into harsher environments and heard all kinds of criticism and mockery from others like ‘it is eccentric behavior,’ ‘he does not know face,’ ‘a crazy guy who does not even know shame,’ and so on.

However, since he believed it was the right matter, he did not mind. Rather, he thought those who criticize and mock him are foolish and lacking people who do not know the true charm of training. So he gave appropriate teaching along with a stinging admonition.

‘But not knowing the true charm of training was the same for me.’

He rejected and was wary of all things like achievements, level ups, class changes, skills, elixirs, items, and so on that he newly contacted after climbing the Tower as sorcery. But with one word from Jin-su, everything changed.

If thinking of them not as sorcery but as fateful encounters and a place of training?

‘There is no better opportunity than this.’

Not only elixirs unnecessarily, changing the weapon one was using is also training, adapting to the stats that increase through achievements is also training, and learning new skills and using them skillfully is also training.

‘If changing the vision, the world looks this different...’

Cheon Mu-seong thought of other people except himself as foolish and lacking idiots wrapped in pretenses and fixed ideas. Yet, once thinking again, that was the same for himself.

“Lord, I sincerely thank you for giving me a large enlightenment.”

Cheon Mu-seong prostrated on the floor and offered a big bow to Jin-su.

‘Why is this old man like this again?’

On the other hand, Jin-su’s expression seeing such an appearance of Cheon Mu-seong was full of perplexity. Not enough that the speech changed, he even offers a big bow?

Cheon Mu-seong’s nature was on the arrogant side, and that is why there was never a time he showed such an appearance to someone else, even if dying.

“First, let’s continue hunting.”

“Understood, lord.”

Cheon Mu-seong answered with a gaze burning vigorously. Then he took out one elixir from the inventory and put it in his mouth.

‘Should I say it is fortunate that he came over easier than expected?’

Clearly that is correct, but the fact that Cheon Mu-seong’s speech and attitude changed was a bit on his mind.

‘Well, there is nothing bad.’

Jin-su who organized his thoughts like that took out 2 Spirit Demon Pills he had secured in the past from the inventory.

“By the way, have you ever intaken a Spirit Demon Pill?”

“No.”

“Then try eating this.”

Jin-su handed over 2 Spirit Demon Pills.

“Understood.”

Cheon Mu-seong poured the 2 Spirit Demon Pills into his mouth without even a bit of hesitation.

“Ooooh!”

An exclamation burst from Cheon Mu-seong’s mouth on its own.

“The flow of internal energy became smoother. To think there is such a precious elixir. Thank you really for giving a large gift, lord.”

“It is nothing.”

Jin-su who answered shortly stroked Leo’s head.

“Nyaaaaang!”

In response, Leo let out a wide-area provocation roar, and monsters gathered from all sides.

Dududududu!

A not small number of monsters rushed from all sides.

Tak!

The first person to move was Cheon Mu-seong. Not waiting for the monsters like a little while ago, but he rushed first.

Slash! Splat!

Kwaaaaang!

Cheon Mu-seong emitting force in streams pulverized the rushing monsters.

‘I did not know he would step forward that actively.’

Although Cheon Mu-seong’s actions changing 180 degrees was a bit flustering, from Jin-su’s perspective, there was nothing bad.

‘Good is good. Flame Barrier, Flame Storm, Flame Rain, Flame Explosion.’

Jin-su used magic attack skills toward the monsters and continued hunting.

That day, Cheon Mu-seong moved actively to acquire achievements. Not only that, he continuously intaked elixirs and learned warrior type skills.

It was an action possible because he accepted Jin-su’s words and regarded the increasing stats and skills not as sorcery but as fateful encounters and part of training.

***

Jin-su, Shin Su-a, and Cheon Mu-seong went hunting without missing a day and hunted the monsters near the start city and acquired achievements. Cheon Mu-seong actively engaged in achievement acquisition and completely threw off the rejection toward class changes, skills, and items.

“Lord, there is one request I have. I am in the middle of choosing a class to change to, can you discuss together what would be good?”

Rather, he actively consulted Jin-su.

“Of course.”

Cheon Mu-seong possessed a dark type warrior class. It was because he used the low-grade class change certificate obtained through the first hunting without particular thought.

‘Before regression, Elder Cheon suffered a bit because of this.’

Righteous path martial arts have good compatibility with holy type classes, and demonic path martial arts have good compatibility with dark type classes. Yet, Cheon Mu-seong changed class to a dark type class even while learning righteous path martial arts.

Due to this, Cheon Mu-seong suffered not a little headache before regression.

‘Well, compatibility is not absolute.’

Even among demonic path martial arts, there are internal energy heart methods and swordsmanships that are heavy and firm and have a defensive inclination that match with holy type. Also, even among righteous path martial arts, there are internal energy heart methods and swordsmanships that are light and agile and have an attack-specialized inclination that have good compatibility with dark type.

‘But unfortunately, the Unrestrained Heart Method is a typical righteous path martial art.’

Since it is internal energy of a defensive inclination that firmly endures based on a firm root, the compatibility with dark type was not good.

‘The advantages are diluted, and one receives a strong feeling of the disadvantages standing out.’

Since Jin-su also learned the Unrestrained Heart Method with a dark type class before regression, he experienced that difference extremely clearly.

‘What was created to overcome that disadvantage is the Formless Heart Method.’

If Cheon Mu-seong was in a state of not changing class, he would have helped him change class to a holy type class, but...

‘It is already late.’

Then he had to find the best move even now.

‘Choosing a dark type class with a defensive inclination is the best as of now.’

If fortunate, in Cheon Mu-seong’s case, 99% of the power he possesses is what was obtained through the martial arts he had been learning from the Musung dimension. The power obtained through the system like classes or skills was only about 1%.

‘Even 1% was generously given.’

Because until just a few days ago, Cheon Mu-seong was wary of the power obtained through the system as sorcery.

‘The Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method are top-tier martial arts.’

Probably if the Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method Cheon Mu-seong learned existed in the form of skill books, that price would reach at least several tens of trillions of points.

‘The Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method are of a high level to the degree where even high-level players active on the upper layers covet them.’

If a player of martial artist origin, it is a top-tier martial art that possesses merit to the degree of wanting to obtain even if spending hundreds of trillions of points. Since the difference in the grade of martial arts and classes is extreme, currently that gap did not stand out greatly.

‘But to become stronger, one has to have a proper class.’

Also, the class level had to be raised.

‘If so, the advantages will gradually be diluted, and the disadvantages will stand out.’

The closer the grade of martial arts and the grade of classes become, the gap has no choice but to become larger.

‘Before the dark type class becomes a large penalty, I have to transmit the Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method to Elder Cheon.’

That was the best as of now.

‘Although I did not succeed before regression.’

This time, he will not fail.

‘Since met at an earlier time, there are many advantageous points.’

Jin-su would have transmitted the Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method even if Cheon Mu-seong possessed a holy type class.

‘To begin with, the limit is clear with the Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method.’

Although the Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method are top-tier martial arts of a degree that high-level players covet.

‘Exactly that degree is the limit of the Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method.’

It is not a level that rankers active on the highest layers use as main.

‘If the level of the Blessing rises and the number of skill sharings increases, I might be able to easily deliver the Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method, but...’

That was literally the last method.

‘If possible, it is best for Elder Cheon to grow on his own.’

Although Jin-su values efficiency, he did not ignore the process. In Cheon Mu-seong’s case, as long as it is martial arts, it was better for him to realize on his own by giving appropriate help from the side rather than Jin-su directly spoon-feeding with skill sharing.

‘Although the growth speed is slow immediately, if thinking of the future, realizing on his own is a better choice.’

Then Cheon Mu-seong can become stronger.

‘Well, if he continues not developing and only treading water to the degree of being left behind, I will use skill sharing, but...’

Jin-su believed in Cheon Mu-seong’s talent and effort.

‘But I wonder if there is a class change certificate of an appropriate level.’

Jin-su confirmed the class change certificates Cheon Mu-seong held out. They were all dark type warrior classes, and things Cheon Mu-seong obtained while hunting until now.

‘This is okay. This is also not bad.’

The class change certificates Cheon Mu-seong handed over were many that are hard to obtain on Floor 200. However, from Jin-su’s eyes, they were just so-so level.

‘Huh? Why is this here?’

In the middle of that, one class change certificate he had never expected at all entered Jin-su’s eyes.

[Class Change Certificate - Immortal Knight]

The class change certificate that entered Jin-su’s eyes was precisely the Immortal Knight. It was a top-tier class change certificate of which only three or four exist even throughout the entire Tower, and one of the rewards Jin-su obtained by collapsing the Bone Dragon.

“How on earth did you obtain this?”

Jin-su immediately threw a question.

“It is an item received as a reward by clearing a hidden dungeon I was sucked into while looking around when I first came to the Tower.”

“A hidden dungeon?”

“Yes, it was a dungeon where a black bead endlessly spews undead monsters.”

“Was the name of that black bead the Black Magic Bead?”

“That’s right. But how did you...?”

Jin-su was dumbfounded.

‘That is the undead hidden dungeon.’

It was certain that it is the same dungeon as the undead hidden dungeon Jin-su cleared together with Shin Su-a on Floor 100.

‘Well, there is nothing strange.’

On Floor 100 where Earth origin players are active, the undead hidden dungeon would only be the one Jin-su cleared.

‘The circumstances of Floor 100 where players of other dimension origins are active are different.’

It was possible as much as one wants that there is a duplicated undead hidden dungeon on Floor 100 where Musung origin players are active.

However, the rewards have no choice but to differ.

‘Because the Dominating Necromancer class change certificate and the Reigning Necromancer class change certificate were unique grade.’

Even if someone else achieves the same achievement as Jin-su, similar level other rewards come out, but he cannot obtain the Dominating Necromancer class change certificate and the Reigning Necromancer class change certificate the same.

“I also cleared an undead hidden dungeon on Floor 100. Did you directly destroy the Black Magic Bead?”

“Yes, that’s right. The jiangshi I saw for the first time kept coming out, so it was quite novel. Well, from some moment, no new jiangshi appeared, so I destroyed the Black Magic Bead and cleared the dungeon. Then this class change certificate came out as a reward.”

“Is that so.”

It was a bit regrettable that if Cheon Mu-seong had induced the self-destruction of the Black Magic Bead, a unique grade item would have come out for certain.

“Why is that?”

Cheon Mu-seong who saw Jin-su’s regretting expression asked as if puzzled. In response, Jin-su talked about the rewards that come out if the Black Magic Bead self-destructs.

“Hmm, is that so. But probably if it was me, even if I knew that fact, I would not have particularly stayed there for a month.”

Cheon Mu-seong said with an expression where not even a speck of regret is felt.

‘Well, the old man is such a person.’

On top of that, the quality of the rewards obtained for clearing quickly was quite high.

‘Even if a unique grade item came out, if that was a class change certificate or skill book of a class that is not warrior type, it is meaningless as well.’

Even if a unique grade warrior type class change certificate or skill book came out, if it is holy type, directly learning it was impossible.

‘Certainly, the Blessing is a cheat.’

Thanks to the Blessing, Jin-su can additionally learn the holy type Dominating Necromancer class change certificate and the dark type Reigning Necromancer class change certificate while maintaining the existing class.

However, from the perspective of ordinary players who have to choose one class and maintain it straight, even if obtaining a unique grade item, if they cannot use it themselves, it was the same as a chicken rib.

‘If thinking so, Elder Cheon obtaining the Immortal Knight class change certificate is large luck.’

The Immortal Knight class change certificate was a rare class change certificate of the next level after unique grade, and fortunately, it belonged to dark type. If there is one regrettable point, it is the point that it is a tanker-use class change certificate.

‘But among dark type, it is also a class that rarely has good compatibility with righteous path martial arts.’

Even if a tanker-use class change certificate, since it is dark type, it was a class that has a deal-tank position with a certain degree of attack power added.

‘The problem is that since it is a tanker, the attack skills are meager, and the power is also weak.’

Due to that, it was also a class where there exists the probability of becoming a miscellaneous character that is neither this nor that if slightly wrong. However, to the righteous path martial artist Cheon Mu-seong who is a player of a dark type class and learned the Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method, it was the best choice.

“I actively recommend changing class to Immortal Knight.”

“Understood. Then I will change class to Immortal Knight.”

At Jin-su’s recommendation, Cheon Mu-seong readily agreed.

From Jin-su’s perspective who was thinking of somehow persuading if Cheon Mu-seong shows a reluctant sign, it was a slightly deflating development.

Hwaaaak!

The Immortal Knight class change certificate changed into a bright light cluster and was sucked into Cheon Mu-seong’s body.

He used the Immortal Knight class change certificate.

“Heok! Wh-what is this...”

At the moment the light cluster disappeared and the class change was completed.

The mouth of Cheon Mu-seong who had been making only a calm expression all along opened wide.
