The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Unnamed Divine Martial Arts.

Three Ultimate Martial Arts.

The Immortal Points the Way.

The Immortal Points the Way.

The meaning of the Immortal Points the Way is that the basic technique of piercing, which corresponds to the human in the Three Ultimate Martial Arts, points the way.

"What is most important now is speed."

So choosing the Immortal Points the Way as the basic technique was a very appropriate decision for this situation.

Whoosh!

Even though the Phoenix Beast had not yet left the stage, the Golden Warhorse was already engulfed in flames.

An immeasurable and tremendous firepower.

The bow, which was the target of the sword, was hidden behind the curtain of fire and could not be seen.

"I cannot penetrate this curtain with an average attack."

Unlike when he cut the Flash Golem, he had to be more precise and faster.

That is truly a single point penetration.

"To do that...."

He opens the upper stance and draws the trajectory of the sword.

A straight line of sword that stretches straight.

At the end of it was the arrow stand that supported the arrow.

He opens the middle stance and clears the way.

In the flames that obscured his vision, a small dot appeared.

It was the space for the trajectory of the sword he drew.

And finally.

He opens the lower stance and actually extends the sword.

The sword, the Immortal Points the Way, only moves along the open path.

This basic technique, which corresponds to the human in the Three Ultimate Martial Arts, had no grand movements.

In the eyes of the third party, it was just that the tip of the sword shook for a moment.

But.

The sword energy released from that one shake had an unimaginable power for ordinary people.

A moment in time.

A beam of sword energy shot from Sung JiHan's sword pierced through the center of the flames fueled by the Phoenix Beast.

Crack!

Breaking the massive arrow stand that held the arrows.

Neatly cutting the arrow-bearing bow in half.

[Hmm...!]

A sigh of admiration flowed from the Conqueror's Stand.

The piercing that Sung JiHan showed reached its limit.

The target it aimed for was the optimal target to block the arrows.

Because without a bow, it was impossible to shoot arrows.

Shoooo....

The heat that was burning in the Phoenix Beast quickly subsided, and the temperature inside the arena gradually cooled down.

The Conqueror's Stand, which emitted white smoke, looked at Sung JiHan with a satisfied gaze as he released an arrow.

[Plunderer. What is your name?]

"Sung JiHan."

[Sung JiHan... Sung JiHan. Excellent. You are a splendid examiner.]

Thud!

An arrow left his hand and landed in front of Sung JiHan.

[Since you have shown me the best example, the Phoenix Beast is now yours.]

[I have received the recognition of the Conqueror.]

[You are exempt from the test on the 7th floor.]

Sung JiHan's eyes narrowed as he checked the message.

"Exempt?"

[You have already shown me a true example. From now on, do not show me the example of a tomb raider.]

With those words, the Conqueror's Stand slowly dispersed.

[In the future, let's meet on a better battlefield, not a place like this.]

"...Sure."

In the world of Battle.net, there are countless battlefields, so if we have a connection, we might meet again.

Sung JiHan thought so and watched the disappearing conqueror's statue for a moment.

***

"What... What did he just do?"

"I watched it and still don't understand. Doesn't the fast motion automatically apply slow motion?"

"He was on a roll... and then suddenly?"

The viewers couldn't grasp what had happened.

And it was understandable, as Sung JiHan's martial arts were not only fast but also extremely secretive, making it difficult for ordinary people to comprehend, despite Battle.net's consideration.

Meanwhile...

Sung JiHan, who bid farewell to the conqueror's statue, had a satisfied smile on his face.

"This time, the release of power was more free."

Compared to when he first used martial arts, it was a significant improvement.

When he first used martial arts, the release of power was not free, leaving residual current on the ground with the "Lightning Strike" and even splitting the earth with the "Mountain Crushing Palm."

But with the martial arts he used this time, he was able to achieve better results than before.

"If I can freely manipulate the basic elements like this, I should be able to use higher-level martial arts as well."

As Sung JiHan finished his thoughts on martial arts...

Chat messages started flooding in from one side of the screen.

"Wow. But if you break the dungeon map like that, suicide shows won't work either."

"What did Take-chan do?"

"Everyone... It wasn't Take-chan! (｡•́︿•̀｡) I'm just a salaryman, where would I have the money...?"

"Finally, you show up after being quiet for so long!"

"We already knew."

"If you have 300 million yen, why do you work instead of being unemployed? Why did you come all the way here to suffer? Please believe me, Sung JiHan!!! ( Ĭ ^ Ĭ )"

"A Japanese person came all the way here lol"

The content of the chat itself was meaningless, but Take-chan was vehemently denying the suicide solicitation accusations directed at him.

There was suspicion, but there was no solid evidence.

"But... there's no need to distance myself from Take-chan."

For now, he needed to play the role of a catalyst for the channel's development.

However, he should gather solid evidence to prepare for the future.

"Coincidentally, I have something to do."

Sung JiHan picked up the phoenix spear in front of him and swung it around.

Booong- Booong-

"It's quite heavy."

Except for the slight weight, it was a perfect spear.

If he took the time to adapt, he wouldn't have to worry about his main weapon for a while.

"Should I try it out?"

Sung JiHan looked around.

While the archer had already been engulfed in the flames of the phoenix and eliminated, the warrior, for some reason, was still clinging to life.

Swoosh-

When Sung JiHan aimed the spear at the warrior, despair filled the warrior's eyes.

"Oh, no...!"

Even though he might have missed out on 1 billion, he thought he could get a free ride like this.

But the man in front of him didn't allow even the slightest gain.

"Follow your comrades."

Poof!

Sung JiHan's new weapon, the phoenix spear, mercilessly pierced through the warrior's body.

***

In the Battle.net Academy's cafeteria...

Flash!

Sung JiHan, who had finished the game, revealed himself.

In his right hand, he held a giant arrow-like spear, the phoenix spear.

The scouts' eyes widened at the sight.

"Wow... That!"

"It wasn't loot, it was equipment?!"

Among the four modes of Battle.net games, the Dungeon mode is a mode where you can obtain useful auxiliary items as well as various equipment items.

Therefore, it was not unusual for Sung JiHan to come out with items. However, the part that surprised the scouts was in a different aspect.

"Equipment comes out in the Bronze Dungeon...? I've never heard of that before!"

"The Conqueror's Mausoleum is only worth a few gold bars converted into GP, right?"

Since even common auxiliary items didn't come out, it wasn't a dungeon that was called the "Loser's Mausoleum."

However, what is this Phoenix that Sung JiHan brought out this time?

"At least... it's A-rank!"

You could tell just by looking at its appearance.

The tip of the spear was shining with intersecting gold and silver.

The aura it emitted was enough to send chills down the spines of the scouts watching from afar.

"Inventory."

Sung JiHan put the Phoenix into his inventory and sat back down.

Clank. Clank.

Sung JiHan shook the ice in the plastic cup in front of Lee HaYeon as if to show off.

Although there were ups and downs, the game itself didn't take long, so the ice was still partially melted and maintained its shape.

Lee HaYeon looked at Sung JiHan with a disappointed look.

"...Really, you came before the ice melted."

"Yes. I'm the type to keep my promises."

Sung JiHan smiled broadly at Lee HaYeon after taking a sip of coffee.

"But I'm curious about our boss. Whether he keeps his promises or speaks with a forked tongue."

Until now, Lee HaYeon had only smiled brightly in front of Sung JiHan.

"Oh my. What a coincidence. I'm the same. I'm the type to... thoroughly keep my promises."

This time, she forced a smile.

"Status window."

Lee HaYeon summoned her status window.

She looked at it and hardened her expression for a moment...

"Ugh..."

She pressed the public button at the bottom right of the status window.

"Look! Look!"

Lee HaYeon, who possessed exceptional talent with an average ability score of 9.5.

"Just to make sure you don't misunderstand."

She showed her status window and said with an uneasy face.

"I didn't lie. Supporting gifts and such. It's as good as not having them."

[Gift - Nurturing (Grade A)]

- It is a supporting gift that helps other players grow quickly.

"..."

Sung JiHan's gaze deepened.

He could finally be sure.

"Lee HaYeon... You're Zero."

Due to her brilliant talent, even though she was an immigrant, she ruled as the second guild leader of the American First Guild.

He confirmed with his own eyes that she was Lee HaYeon.

A smile naturally formed on Sung JiHan's lips.

Squeak-

"...You're really mean. To laugh at me like that on the battlefield."

"No. I'm laughing because I like it."

Sung JiHan extended his phone.

"Give me your number, Lee HaYeon."

"Uh... um."

Lee HaYeon looked at Sung JiHan's phone hesitantly.

Although she had been hunted countless times in her life, this was the first time she confidently asked a man to give her his number.

"Oh, that. I lost it."

"Huhhhhh."

It was a remark that shattered the controlled expression of Ha Yeon, who was like a fortress.

"Why is the number different all of a sudden when I don't even know where my business card is?"

Her attitude had completely changed after seeing the gift.

Is this useless gift even something that can catch Sung JiHan's attention?

From Ha Yeon's perspective, she couldn't understand a single word.

"...I should at least do what needs to be done."

Whoosh!

Ha Yeon took Sung JiHan's phone and entered the number.

[Manager Ha Yeon♡]

She even saved it with a name that could be misunderstood by others.

And in that state, she pressed the call button and confirmed Sung JiHan's number for sure.

"Whatever his thoughts are, I need to get his number when the opportunity arises."

Sung JiHan proved to himself that he was not just a promising rookie, but a sure winner.

Now that it had come to this, he had to score points, whether it was a half-hearted hunt or anything else.

"Here, my number. Is it correct?"

"Yes, it is."

Once again, Ha Yeon changed her expression and showed a bright smile as she held up her phone.

"But... are you really not going to sign the contract?"

"No. I'll think about it when I take first place as promised."

With those words, Sung JiHan stood up from his seat.

"Well then, I'll contact you often. You should also meet Eun Sa-nim."

"Ah, ah! Yes, right! Time flies... Please go in!"

With that, Sung JiHan, who left the cafeteria, immediately changed the name of the number saved as [Manager Ha Yeon♡] to [Ha Yeon=0].

Meanwhile...

"S-Sung JiHan-nim! Do you have a moment?"

"Just a moment. Let me talk to you...!"

The scouts who were waiting in the cafeteria approached, but...

"There's no need for that anymore."

As Sung JiHan's feet hit the ground, he completely disappeared as if he had never been there in the first place.

The scouts were once again in a panic.

Seeing that, Ha Yeon let out a sigh of relief.

"As expected, getting his number... was the right thing to do."

At least she didn't end up being chased like a chicken.

"Contact... I should be the one to do it first, right?"

Is this what it's like to be the one being pursued?

How did I end up like this?

Ha Yeon let out a bitter smile and said to Im Ga Young,

"Ga Young, let's go home."

"What about saying goodbye to Eun Sa-nim...?"

"Will you do it?"

* * *

Woo-woo-woo-

Ha Yeon, who was leading her tired body to the parking lot, felt a sudden vibration and quickly took out her phone.

The sender was...

"Sung JiHan?!"

The content was shocking.

"You've been saying that you're my subscriber for a while, right?"

"Let me give you a prediction for the upcoming match after a long time."

"8.15 Korea-Japan match result."

"Game 1: Korea wins / MVP Lee Jin Wook."

"Games 2, 3, 4: Japan wins / MVP Ito Ryuhei."

"Enjoy."

"...What is this?"

It was the first text Sung JiHan had sent her.

It was the prediction result of the upcoming Korea-Japan match, which would take place in a week.
