CHAPTER 50
SSS-grade skill, ‘Naless Divine Arts’, requires the condition, that is to have level 30 Martial Power. and to have that Martial Power stat, you needed to have Jihan’s F-rank Gift, ‘Wanderer’s Insight’.
[Your Martial Power has reached level 30.]
[The constellation ‘Wandering Martial God’ has detected you through its fragnt.]
‘The ‘Fragnt’ must refer to the Wanderer’s Insight.’
His gift, which had a vague description, had hidden descriptions as well, just like Seah’s.
[Gift – Wanderer’s Insight (Rank F)]
[Able to see the details of other players.]
[Contains a fragnt of the constellation ‘Wandering Martial God’.]
[You can use Dongfang Shuo’s items.]
‘Wandering Martial God’ was his constellation in his previous life, so Jihan had good mories of him.
While other players with constellations had to go through countless trials to beco stronger, the ‘Wandering Martial God’ hadn’t asked much from Seong Jihan.
Instead, when the ti ca, it had silently passed on the SSS-grade skill, Naless Divine Arts, and even the final rank title, ‘Successor of the Martial God’.
The contract with the ‘Wandering Martial God’ was a one-sidedly favorable contract for Seong Jihan, where he only received without giving.
‘I need to form a contract with him again.’
[The ‘Wandering Martial God’ is observing you.]
Another line was added to the system ssage.
Seong Jihan felt a grey light emanating from his entire body.
The light seed to be absorbed into his body.
[The ‘Wandering Martial God’ is in the process of recognizing ‘Player Seong Jihan’ as his successor.]
[The skill ‘Naless Divine Arts’ is being passed down to you.]
It was the sa as the previous life.
Seong Jihan smiled as he waited for Naless Divine Arts to register in his Skill window.
He could still use Naless Divine Arts, but having it registered in the Skill Tab would make it easier and more powerful.
[The basic martial arts, Triad of Martial Mastery, is being registered…]
[Footwork Technique: Flashing Sky Thunder Steps is being registered…]
Just like in his previous life, he was starting from these basics to fill in the first button of Naless Divine Arts.
But….
.
.
“Hmm?”
Bzzt!
Suddenly, sparks flickered from Seong Jihan’s body, which had been absorbing the grey light.
[The ‘Wandering Martial God’ frowns.]
The system ssage started to show a different reaction compared to his previous life.
[‘Wandering Martial God’ has realized that player Seong Jihan already unlocked the three dantians.]
[‘Wandering Martial God’ is extrely cautious about player ‘Seong Jihan’.]
[‘Wandering Martial God’ has canceled passing on his martial arts.]
“What…?!”
Jihan was taken aback by the sudden ssages.
‘An omnipotent being within BattleNet is wary of having unlocked the three dantians?’
Wandering Martial God’s strange behavior didn’t stop there.
[‘Wandering Martial God’ has terminated the connection with player ‘Seong Jihan’.]
[‘Wandering Martial God’ has retrieved the ‘Wanderer’s Insight’ gift from player ‘Seong Jihan’.]
He even took back the ‘Wanderer’s Insight’, which was a fragnt of the Martial God.
[The skill ‘Naless Divine Arts’ has been passed on in an incomplete state.]
Incomplete state?
Seong Jihan opened the Skill window with a stiff expression.
[Naless Divine Arts – Rank S]
[A skill containing only a fragnt of Naless Divine Arts.]
[Contains basic techniques of Triad of Martial Mastery and Flashing Sky Thunder Steps.]
[When reaching the level of mastery in the martial art, the incomplete Naless Divine Arts can be restored to its true self.]
The grade of Naless Divine Arts had dropped from SSS to S, and it only contained the basic techniques of Triad of Martial Mastery and Flashing Sky Thunder Steps.
“Huh?”
Seong Jihan had never been this stunned before in his second life.
To think that the constellation who’d been so generous during his previous life was acting like that…
That wasn’t the only bad news.
“Status Window.”
[Gift -]
His Gift had truly been retrieved.
‘Wanderer’s Insight’ wasn’t there anymore.
[You’ve reached Level 25 without a Gift.]
[You’ve cleared the special achievent ‘Graduating Bronze Without a Gift’.]
[You’ve earned 10,000 achievent points.]
[You’ve been selected for the ‘Top 100’ without a gift.]
[You’ve cleared the special achievent ‘Be Selected For Top 100 Without a Gift’.]
[You’ve earned 30,000 achievent points.]
As soon as the Gift disappeared, it was judged that he’d cleared so special achievents, which earned him a whopping 40,000 achievent points.
It was a sudden jackpot, but Jihan’s expression was stiff.
‘This will distort my plans.’
Didn’t that make waiting for level 25 aningless?
“Haa.”
Jihan sighed and circulated the energy within the three dantians.
Why was ‘Wandering Martial God’ so scared of that?
Jihan was making his Force and Qi circulate throughout his body when…
‘What’s this…?’
Suddenly, he felt a subtle strangeness within himself.
It mixed seamlessly with his own energy but was clearly sothing different.
Seong Jihan carefully explored this foreign sensation.
‘Here it is.’
The ‘sothing’ was hidden inside the upper dantian at the top of the eyes, very subtly.
If Seong Jihan hadn’t handled both Force and Martial Power at the sa ti and if he didn’t have his previous life mories, he would have never discovered this strange presence.
‘Why did I start feeling this now, and how is it related to what just happened?’
Seong Jihan had a feeling that the recent events were sohow connected.
After pinpointing where this foreign presence was located, Seong Jihan cautiously explored it with his Flow.
“Heh.”
Seong Jihan smiled as he recognized what this ‘sothing’ was.
Although it was intertwined with his energy, it was unmistakably sothing else.
Satisfied with his investigation, Seong Jihan used his Force to clean up this foreign presence.
“Ouch.”
Then, he felt intense pain in his left eye.
Fizz!
Gray smoke began to emanate from his left eye.
“What’s this?”
It was the sa color as the light when ‘Wandering Martial God’ tried to make him his successor. Jihan instinctively felt that the light and the smoke were the sa energy.
‘Maybe it’s a fragnt that the constellation couldn’t retrieve?’
Maybe the constellation hadn’t been able to fully retrieve all of his energy.
As he thought about that, more system ssages appeared.
[You’ve fully removed the remnants of ‘Wandering Martial God’.]
[Player Seong Jihan is completely free from the constellation’s control.]
[From now on, you can be sponsored by other constellations.]
“Free from control?” Jihan’s expression stiffened.
If the system ssage was true, did that an he’d been under the control of the Wandering Martial God all that ti?
‘I never felt that during my previous life.’
However, the system ssages didn’t lie. According to what it said, the Gift must have been controlling him to so extent.
“To think I didn’t realize this yet…”
He’d praised ‘Wandering Martial God’ as soone who gave without taking anything in return.
[Translator – Kshn]
[‘Wandering Martial God’ has beco even warier of player ‘Seong Jihan’.]
[‘Wandering Martial God’ has hurriedly hidden his traces.]
“Why is a constellation acting like this?”
When you only read the ssages popping up, it seems as though the constellation is fleeing while being cautious of the Bronze league player.
Even if he was a wanderer, wasn’t he a martial god? Why would soone of such caliber act like that?
Everything was only getting more confusing.
“The good thing is that there’s another way.”
Maybe the ‘Shadow Queen’ constellation knew sothing.
Jihan was looking forward to the 25th. He needed to successfully clear both the promotion match and the epic quest.
* * * * *
“Ahh! I failed again!”
In the Divergent Guild office, Hayeon was grabbing her hair in frustration.
“I could have won! Ugh.”
“Miss, please stop the gambling. This is my 183rd ti saying it this year”
“No. I can’t give up when I think about what I’ve lost…I’ll win here and retire..”
Behind Hayeon, Lim Gayeong’s face darkened.
‘She really is a lost cause’
“Moreover, your recent win rate seems to have worsened.”
“Haa… could you be quiet?”
“Excluding the hint Jihan gave you, you’ve lost everything.”
“Ugh! I should’ve put in more money! I only used a little… To think it would multiply 37 tis…”
“Oh, 37 tis? Then you must have made a lot of money.”
“No. I put more money on Japan’s victory…” Hayeon mumbled with a sulky look.
It would have been her chance to hit the jackpot. Having missed that chance when it was right in front of her made her heart ache.
Every ti she communicated with Jihan, she rembered that missed chance, which irritated her.
“Haa… Can’t I get a huge one?”
“Miss, your family is well off, so why are you like this? You’re from the Divergent family.”
“I want to beco independent. Gayeong, have you seen my fiance candidates?”
“…”
Gayeong was lost for words.
Matching Lee Hayeon’s social standing, people from other rich families put forward as possible partners were terrible. Most n from those wealthy families looked good by average people’s standards, but that wasn’t the case with the people who were Hayeon’s potential fiances.
“Well… In a capitalist society, isn’t having a lot of money the best?”
“Right?! Even if your husband weighs 0.15 tons or even if he cheats on you with not one but seven other won, as long as he’s rich, isn’t that great?”
“Th-that’s not what I ant, but…”
“Well, it isn’t just because of the engagent. It’s my situation overall. I want to beco independent.”
Slide~
Hayeon brushed her hair back and sighed.
“To do that, I need money.”
“But is the only way to get that money through gambling?”
“It isn’t gambling. It’s a BattleNet match prediction analysis!”
“Why don’t you just accept that it’s gambling?”
“Anyway…” Hayeon anxiously bit her nails.
“It’s already too late. I’ve lost too much… I need to make up for this, sohow.”
“Ahh…”
They were the words of a typical gambling addict.
Lim Gayeong looked at Hayeon with a concerned expression.
How could she help? Although she was working for her, they had grown together since childhood, so they were like sisters.
Gayeong wanted to help Hayeon find her path.
Ding!
At that mont, a ssage appeared on Hayeon’s phone.
“Oh, it’s Seong Jihan!”
“To think he’d contact you first. What a surprise.”
“No! This is how it should be. Everything until now was abnormal. Acting so mighty… Hmph~.”
Hayeon unlocked her phone with a triumphant smile.
At that mont
[I heard you lost a lot last ti, but are you doing well now?]
[As a ans of redemption, I’ll predict again for you.]
[I have been selected for the ‘Top 100’ Bronze Promotion Match that will take place on 25th August]
[1st Place – Seong Jihan]
[Most Kills – Seong Jihan]
[If you bet like this, you’ll make up for your losses in one go.]
Just like during the Korea-Japan match, Seong Jihan’s ssage appeared, predicting the outco.
Lim Gayeong, who was silently reading ssages from behind, spoke up in a surprised voice, “Wait, He’s already going to participate in a promotion match?”
“Yeah… He ntioned it on BattleTube yesterday.”
“It’s absurd. More importantly, How can he be so confident?”
Although Lim Gayeong expressed her disbelief.
“It’s given.”
Lee Hayeon’s eyes, as she read the ssage, were flashing dangerously.
“This… is an opportunity…”
