The Ninth Young Masters voice clearly contained conviction, not prediction. He said it was just a feeling, but he probably gathered the evidence in a single glance even during the mont of crisis.
Only bad rumors about Yu-Seong circulated in public, but Baek Chul thought that the rumor-mongers had bad judgnt when it ca to people.
His train of thought continued, If he continues to grow in this direction, he might one day be on the sa level as Master, but
It placed Yu-Seongthe ninth young masterin a sowhat disadvantageous position because of his belated start and the accumulated defamation toward him in society.
Baek Chul had the thought of wanting to help Yu-Seong, but he had no way to.
My duty is to protect my Master.
No matter how much he liked Yu-Seong, he couldnt leave Choi Ji-Hos side.
Unfortunately, my master is not present at the mont. If he had known that you, the ninth young master, was visiting, this would not have happened Recently, he said he wanted to be alone and has left for sowhere.
I see. Then, should I wait a few days?
Yes. It will probably take about that long. Hes away often, but not usually for very long.
I understand,
Although Yu-Seong answered calmly, he did not speak his mind. His mind held onto different thoughts.
Its probably a lie that he is not here.
According to the original novel and known incidents, it was said that Ji-Ho beca paralyzed and that he could not move.
It was possible that he could move, considering his awakening abilityWind Controlwhich dealt with the wind. However, even so, it did not make sense that Baek Chulwho was no different than a guardhad completely left his side.
He is in the house, but he wont see yet.
Yu-Seong did not know the reason, but he did not question the mans decision.
Because there must be a reason why he doesnt want to et right away.
Choi Ji-Ho of the original novel was initially a rather relaxed character. He was not bad-tempered or wicked, thus Yu-Seong thought waiting wouldnt be a bad decision. Obviously, that did not an that he would completely let his guard down.
Ill wait about three to four days, and then go back if he doesn't show up.
Yu-Seong thought that discovering Choi Ji-Hos hiding place was enough as a gift. There were still many people in the group looking for Ji-Ho and wanting his help. The fact that Yu-Seong knew his location was no different from him having one more ace in his deck of cards.
I can help you avoid boredom while you wait. First of all, you can choose to train by sparring with the people in this mansion. And there is also a 2nd-grade dungeon in this mountain that would be perfect for you, ninth young master. Of course, if you dont like both options, you can just rest comfortably, suggested Baek Chul.
Oh, that's good to hear, exclaid Yu-Seong sincerely.
Yu-Ri was listening to the story with her arms folded. She said with a smile, I will refuse both. I want to rest a little.
Then I would like to ask for sparring. If it is possible I want to be taught directly by Baek Chul sunbae-nim[1], said Do-Yoon.
Yu-Ri chose to observe without showing off her ability while Do-Yoon chose his own way to spend the ti. Yu-Seong could guess their individual intentions, and asked Baek Chul, Oh, are there any hunters at about E-rank among the people here?
Not many, but there are a few trainees, confird Baek Chul.
Yu-Seong nodded. He had been secretly observing the movents of the people in the mansion. They had been hiding their presence while moving about busily.
I assu its so kind of a step technique?
Moreover, seeing that everyone was using the sa skill, Yu-Seong guessed that it was a rare transferable skill that could be passed on to others. Obviously, they wouldnt give out the skill thod at the request of an outsider, even though it was Yu-Seong of the Choi family.
Yet, did it matter to Yu-Seong?
I have the Eye of Replication.
It was ti to say goodbye to Dodge Roll. Yu-Seong no longer needed to roll on the floor with a rather sloppy appearance.
I also have the Stylish skill, so its better to have a skill that looks cool.
A big smile tugged on Yu-Seongs lips after he got off that train of thought.
Thats great. Then Id like to ask to compete with people who are at my level. As you know, Im still an E-rank. Yu-Seong had co into a huge, unexpected windfall. It was a natural opportunity to learn skills by stealing them.
***
Although it was short, sparring for only about three hours, Yu-Seong had gained a lot.
General Skill, Flow of Eight Steps. The First Three Steps (F)
Fusion possible.
Inheritance possible.
At the end of the eight steps that flow like a wave, there is a path of wind flowing through the clouds. This is a skill that has not been completely inherited.
If there is no next inheritance, the skill grade will not increase.
You can only use three out of eight steps. You can hide so of your presence.
For three steps after skill activation, you can instantly accelerate your movent.
Penalties are applied for Replication skill.
The number of tis ability can be used is 10.
You can only use two out of three steps.
There were also so minor skills, but Yu-Seong abandoned them all. This was because he thought there was nothing better he could gain if he gave up his current skills. However, Flow of Eight Steps was sothing he had been aiming for from the beginning, and it was different.
Even if its only the first three steps, its a different level of evasion technique than the Dodge Roll.
It was a real evasion technique he had been hoping to learn for so long.
Oh, but even if Flow of Eight Steps itself is aweso, what if sothing strange cos out after Fusion?
It was the sa reason why Yu-Seong had not attempted Fusion for his skill, Insight. Although the abilities produced by Fusion were partly affected by the base skills, there was no guarantee that it would only improve. Rather, it was important to keep in mind that it could be downgraded.
After a short deliberation, Yu-Seong made a decision.
Lets try.
Unlike Insightthe hardest skill to obtain since it could be only gained by nagging at Kim Do-Jin againthe Flow of Eight Steps could be copied whenever he visited this mansion.
Of course, there was a three-month waiting ti if he duplicated a skill with the sa na, but it was safe to say that he could get it again soday. Therefore, Yu-Seong decided to rge Dodge Roll (E) and Flow of Eight Steps, The First Three Steps (F).
Shortly after the Fusion skill was activated, Yu-Seong felt a certain intuition when he saw the gorgeous golden light covering his eyes. A light different from the light of normal fusion covered his field of vision. Considering that the Awakener system resembled a ga to so extent, the more spectacular the effect, the higher the probability of a better reward.
This is definitely a jackpot!
Yu-Seongs prediction was not far off.
Special Skills, Wind Control (E)
Fusion not possible.
Inheritance not possible.
At the end of 18 steps that flow like a wave, a dragon that catches the wind travels through the clouds. This is a skill that has been completely inherited.
You can only use five out of eighteen steps due to the current low grade.
You can kill so of your presence.
For five steps after skill activation, you can instantly accelerate your movent.
Imdiately after skill activation, you can instantly create a short illusion using all five steps.
If you use illusion 2 or more tis in a row, re-use waiting ti (30 minutes) will occur.
Oh my goodness. Yu-Seong sat in place with his mouth wide open.
Wind Control!
There were so penalties, such as Fusion and inheritance not being possible, but that was not a problem. Yu-Seong has gained one of the signature abilities of Choi Ji-Howho was once the most likely successor to the Cot Group. It was truly like a ga jackpot.

A new dungeon appeared near Unjeong, Paju of Gyeonggi. The appearance of a new dungeon after a long ti had put a short ergency alert throughout the country. This was because it was remarkably close to Seoulthe capital cityand the dungeons internal ecosystem was not known at all.
An investigation team was dispatched and led by Park Chul-Hothe Iron Wall an S-rank player from the Association. When the dungeon was found to be level six, everyone breathed sighs of relief.
It was common sense that level six dungeons could be cleared easily if ten or more people with rank B level 80 based on general hunter standards worked together to attack. It was a dungeon that didnt pose a great danger for South Korea, which had many players of the S-rank and even SS-rank.
When these reassuring facts were revealed, the system was designed to assign the first boss to the player with a matching rank and level or to the rookies supported by the country. This was because players gained more experience points by attacking new bosses on Earth. Because of this manual, Do-Jin beca part of the attack team after he recently climbed to beco a C-rank player. This was understandable in so way but also a factor that inevitably caused complaints.
C-rank is no big deal. He is not even at level 10 since he just recently beca C-rank.
Were not babysitters and no matter how promising he is, it still feels bad to carry a greenhorn.
If soone gets hurt or dies because of a newbie while we hunt the boss monster, they will give only several bucks as compensation. Are they really going to send just anyone?
Many people had complaints, but none of them expressed their dissatisfaction out loud. Anyway, Kim Do-Jin was currently a promising prospect that the world was paying attention to and his hunting record proved it.
Even more, a short while ago, he had solo cleared Orc War Chief, a nad boss monster of a rank four dungeon.
He cleared the dungeon alone which usually required ten people at rank D level 80, so it was safe to say that he already had the combat power of a high-level C-rank at that point. However, the problem was that the dungeon that appeared now was as strong as rank six. That was how his dungeon-clearing process started.
The attackers included hunters with at least rank B level thirty up to level ninety at the highest except for Kim Do-Jin. They attacked the dungeon with an irresistible force. It was a party with enough prospects to support the first clear of the dungeons in the country, even if they were dissatisfied inwardly. Everyone would carry their own weight even if they were slightly below the normal threshold.
Kim Do-Jin did not really stand out within the group. It felt like he was only doing as much as his part.
In that sense, it was certainly sowhat extraordinary. Although he had just climbed to rank C, he showed movents and performance that were not lacking compared to the top-ranked B-rank prospective hunters.
Naturally, most of them accepted him, thinking that he would not be a burden. However, on the other hand, many of them were worried.
He definitely has a high-level ability, but he is still just a C-rank, right? It wont be easy to follow our pace.
If he already showed everything he has, its going to be hard when facing the elite monsters.
As you broke through the dungeon and approached the boss room, powerful enemies called elite monsters appeared in addition to normal monsters. Elite monsters were not as powerful as the boss but were considered three tis more powerful than average monsters.
However, the aning of three tis here didnt an simply dealing with three normal monsters. As one monster was as strong as three normal monsters, what was actually felt was much more difficult.
In fact, all of them who were gathered here were conserving their strength little by little in consideration of the fierce battle against elite monsters.
Though, what about Kim Do-Jin, who was still only at the beginning of C-rank?
The attackers sowhat changed their thoughts when they started to battle so elite monsters they encountered near the boss room.
