The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 356

Sung JiHan.

This class allows the absorption and research of the martial arts and abilities of different species to be tailored to one's own species.

Sung JiHan had already made good use of the footage of different species in the market.

"Although 95 percent of them were mating videos of different species."

From the remaining 5 percent of the footage, Sung JiHan was able to stimulate his soul and raise his spiritual power.

Once he obtained a certain level of ability, he could no longer find any footage that could stimulate his soul in the market.

So Sung JiHan thought that he had exhausted all the ways to make use of this class.

"I already had something I could make use of from the experiences of different species."

This time, his stats increased by 3.

It took the form of the World Tree within Sung JiHan.

Unlike when it was at level 2, the World Tree's presence had clearly grown.

It was confronting the emptiness within Sung JiHan's soul more strongly than before.

And...

"Within this, there is also some information about the Wood Elves."

Perhaps because it received the life force from the World Tree sealed within the Eastern Palace's Eight Trigrams.

The information about the Wood Elves that was sealed there had also entered Sung JiHan.

At the time when it came out of the Eastern Palace's Eight Trigrams, he didn't even realize it.

"I found out when I died in the battle simulation against Kang Sang."

While dying countless times to Kang Sang and developing his soul.

He tried to restore his eternity to its original state.

Although Sung JiHan tried to restrain his power and fight against Kang Sang, he always prevented it.

During the countless regeneration processes, some of the Wood Elves' information had flowed in.

"Before I forget, I need to analyze the data of the Wood Elves through this class."

Thinking that, Sung JiHan delved into the information of the Wood Elves in earnest.

The Wood Elves, who evolved from the enemy tribe.

Their power was overwhelmingly superior to that of humans.

"But looking at the individual power alone, there are some cases where they are inferior to dragons."

There were several cases where their species' specs were equivalent to those of dragons.

Contrary to their grand name of Wood Elves, they didn't seem to have a divine level of power.

However, they had distinctive characteristics that dragons didn't have.

"The Wood Elves can regenerate even in their soul state."

They could regenerate in their original form even in their soul state, going one step further from the Elves who had regenerative power like cockroaches.

Although their species' specs were similar to those of dragons, because of this regenerative power beyond the standard, they could be called divine beings.

"Where...?"

Through the Sung JiHan class, he began to analyze them in earnest.

Perhaps because it was fragmented information about the Wood Elves, at first, he couldn't immediately find something he could make use of.

"According to the Void value, the adjustment value of the Sung JiHan class became more efficient..."

Sung JiHan recalled the explanation of the Sung JiHan class and took out a mask from his inventory.

In order to amplify the efficiency of the Sung JiHan class, he used the Void Processing Device that he hadn't used even when fighting against Kang Sang.

"It's definitely different."

Unlike a while ago, Sung JiHan now had a clearer understanding of the Wood Elves' information.

Since he shouldn't wear the mask for too long, he needed to concentrate as much as possible right now.

In this way, Sung JiHan analyzed the information of the Wood Elves while amplifying the Void.

[Void has increased by 2.]

By the time the Void had increased by 2, he had finished the analysis.

"Although it's fragmented information, I can understand the physical regeneration and the utilization of life force."

The regeneration of the Wood Elves' soul was the goal that the enemy tribe tried to achieve through various experiments.

It wasn't something that could be easily obtained.

Instead, he was able to learn about physical regeneration and the utilization of life force, which were lower-level aspects.

"Of course, it still has good regenerative abilities."

As a being that emits infinite life force and possesses eternal existence, Sung JiHan still has regenerative abilities that rival those of the elves.

Until now, his body has been able to regenerate automatically through the life force.

"Now I can use it more efficiently."

After internalizing the information of the Wood Spirits, Sung JiHan was able to actively control it.

"This realization can also be applied to Eclipse."

The item name "Shadow of the Sun" has changed to "Shadow of Life" in Eclipse.

The Shadow of Life, which was said to be able to advance up to grade EX, was still not able to fully demonstrate its performance.

In conjunction with this, the development of the Shadow Manipulation Technique, which controls the power of shadows, was also in a stagnant state.

Now that he has upgraded the method of utilizing life force through the data of the Wood Spirits, it seemed that he could start researching the Shadow Manipulation Technique in earnest.

"But for now, I have to go outside."

Too much time has passed since the battle simulation with Kang Sang.

It had been several days since he arrived, so Sung JiHan decided to check what was happening on Earth.

Leaving the Void Training Ground, he returned to his room and headed to the living room.

"I came back faster than I thought."

There, he was greeted by the Shadow Queen, who had taken the form of Ariel.

"Did you defeat that monster even when I wasn't there?"

While he was simulating a battle with Kang Sang while restraining his power, he had sent the Shadow Queen to Earth.

Even when she was quiet, she would give him advice at important moments, which had been a hindrance to his training.

"No, I couldn't go further in the offensive."

"Indeed, the Universe's Heavenly Demon... You were a monster even when you were human. But just reaching the same level as him is already a tremendous improvement."

"But it's still not enough."

Sung JiHan said so and glanced at the TV screen that the Shadow Queen had left on.

Familiar faces were on the screen.

The national team coaches of Korea and the United States were appearing.

"What? Why is Korea playing against the United States?"

"Super Cup? There's a game like that. The first and second matches were so one-sided that they were abandoned, and now the game is being played for 2 nights and 3 days."

"They played one game a day, huh."

The national team game in which Sung JiHan participated ended quickly because he overwhelmed his opponent.

During national team games, depending on the map, there were cases where the game dragged on like this.

"Yeah. In terms of objective strength, the United States is ahead, but your family resisted quite persistently. So until the second match, it was 1 win and 1 loss. But..."

"Ah, Sung JiHan player. He's unbanned!"

"If this continues, victory will go to the Korean national team."

"This is not good news for the United States. In the 4th and 5th games, if Sung JiHan player is not banned, there is a possibility of winning..."

"It's painful to lose in the first match!"

Battle.net Channel 0.

Since the United States was ranked first in the world, American commentators were providing commentary on this channel.

And as the commentators were from the United States, they continued to express their regret for the loss in the first game.

However...

"Oh no, luck wasn't on our side. Congratulations on your victory. In the 4th and 5th games, make sure to ban Sung JiHan player."

"...."

"Why is your expression like that?"

"No, it's nothing."

Even though Sung JiHan was unbanned, Coach No Young-Jun's face didn't brighten up.

-What? Sung JiHan is alive, so why is he like that?

-For real, it's a free win lol.

-Is Sung JiHan really not here right now?

-What's this, lol? No way, that's a ridiculous idea.

-But you remember that there was a time when Sung JiHan couldn't participate in a match against the Jo In tribe during training.

-When was that? No way!

-Korean viewers expressed their disbelief while looking at the expression of Director No Young-jun.

-And so, the three matches began.

-Huh?

-What's wrong?

-Sung JiHan... didn't participate?

-No way, Sung JiHan didn't play in the match?

-He was definitely on the list of players!

-It seems like he's still training!

The voice of the American commentator, who had already sensed defeat, became brighter.

-The fortunes of the two countries were starkly different.

"Aren't you going?"

"It's too late to participate in the three matches. I'll go in the fourth match."

"Okay... Should I go too?"

The Shadow Queen, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, pointing at herself with her finger.

Next to the sofa, there were already piles of empty snack bags.

While someone's throat was being choked by Kang Sang-han, she was having fun here.

"But do I really need to be in this kind of match? Honestly, you could win with just your fists."

"No, come on. I want to use a sword."

"Ugh... I can't stand seeing a man doing nothing."

The Shadow Queen chuckled.

As her form crumbled, she transformed into a shadow.

The black energy was sucked into Sung JiHan's arm in that state.

-The US national team. They have already taken the lead in the three matches!

-The more important thing is the fact that Player Sung JiHan is not there. Even if they lose this match, if they ban the Sword King or Player Yoon Se-ah in the fourth and fifth matches, the game will return to a victory for the US!

-We gave up the Champions League, but we'll take the Super Cup!

The American commentators, who were already certain of victory, were ecstatic.

"The Super Cup... It doesn't really mean much, but it's a shame to give it away."

Sung JiHan turned off the TV and naturally went outside.

* * *

Korea's Battle.net Center.

"We're screwed..."

Director No Young-jun watched the progress of the three matches with a stern expression.

Until now, Sung JiHan had pretended to be there and used bluffing to consume the opponent's ban cards.

But from the fourth match onwards, that wouldn't work anymore.

"Director, it's just a Super Cup match anyway. It's an exhibition match..."

"No. This is not just a simple exhibition match. It's related to the Battle.net national rankings."

Korea's ranking in the Battle.net national rankings had risen sharply as they won the Champions League.

They were currently ranked fourth.

And if they were to win the Super Cup here, they might even surpass India, who was ranked third.

From the director's perspective, it was a game that he wanted to win no matter what.

"It had to be unlocked there... It would have been better if it happened in the fourth or fifth match."

Why is luck only on their side when they're not here?

Director No Young-jun muttered quietly as he watched the progress of the three matches.

"Sung JiHan is not here! Korea is nothing without him!"

"It's easy without that guy!"

"Let's take revenge in the finals!"

When it was revealed that Sung JiHan was not there, the morale of the American national team, who had already risen, was even higher as they led the three matches.

On the other hand, the Korean national team players were in a desperate situation.

"Oh, we've been caught..."

"We're screwed, man."

"Just when we thought we had a chance of winning the first game..."

"If Sung JiHan gets banned in the next game, there's no hope left."

Even if they win the next three games, if the ban card is used against them in the fourth or fifth game, it's obvious that they will lose the remaining games.

The motivation of the Korean national team was dwindling.

Nevertheless, they were professional players, so they were doing their best to compete against the United States.

"Once again, it's Sung JiHan and his daughter left!"

"Now, Yoon SeA is such a powerful player that she can only be seen as 'Sung JiHan's daughter'! Among the archers, she has grown into the most threatening player in the world!"

"Warrior and Archer. This simple yet powerful combination led to the defeat of the United States in the first game. The national team needs to be careful!"

And according to the American commentators.

Having gained the advantage, the American national team slowly pressured Yoon SeJin.

No matter how strong they were as newcomers.

There were no weak players among the American national team either.

"Ugh..."

"Ah, they're relentlessly pushing with numbers, seriously!"

Yoon SeJin resisted for a long time, but eventually fell.

"The United States wins the third game!"

"Although they won this game, they would have been in danger of a counterattack from the two Korean women!"

"Yes, even in the first game, they lost in a similar situation! Fortunately, based on the experience of losing the first game, the national team players calmly applied pressure!"

"And unlike the first game, cutting off Sophia quickly was crucial!"

"Since Sung JiHan is unable to participate, one of them must be banned!"

"Then we can watch the fourth game more comfortably!"

After winning the third game, the American commentators confirmed their victory.

And this was not only the opinion of the commentators, but also the viewers watching the game.

"We lost in the Super Cup early game..."

"We should have protected Sophia a little more, it's a shame."

"The buffs were so good, but in the third game, the Americans stubbornly targeted the support first."

"Is this the end of the Yoon SeJin, Yoon SeA, Sophia combination...?"

"100% one of them will be banned."

"I'm banning Sung JiHan."

"I also am haha. Yoon SeA is growing fast, but Yoon SeJin is still the strongest."

And as expected by the viewers.

With the ban card, the American coach banned Sung JiHan.

"I was thinking about who to ban, but it seems like Sung JiHan is the most concerning."

The American coach said with a relaxed face.

And the coach No YoungJoon watched the card with a dark expression.

However, his lips kept twitching.

"...Why is that?"

"Ah... it's nothing."

The American coach asked, and Coach No YoungJoon forced himself to put on a gloomy expression.

The American coach felt that something was off, but...

"Is this the last blunder?"

He kept the ban card as it was.

And the fourth game began.

"...Huh?"

"Just a moment..."

The American commentators, who had been confident in their victory so far, couldn't even finish their sentences when they saw Sung JiHan appear in the fourth game.
