The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 249

Inside the training grounds of emptiness.

"It's already time," Sung JiHan muttered with a regretful expression as he put down his sword.

"In such a short time, I have gained so much."

Having fought two matches against Dong BangSak in the Taiwan Tournament, Sung JiHan had gained an immeasurable amount.

Dong BangSak, who had completely overwhelmed Sung JiHan.

The martial arts he had shown provided a foundation for Sung JiHan's growth.

"I still don't know about Dong BangSak's Taegeukma Sword...."

The white sword, Taegeukma Sword, wielded by Dong BangSak.

Although Sung JiHan couldn't understand the principles behind the overwhelming darkness that had appeared in the world, he had gained a lot just from experiencing Dong BangSak's martial arts.

Through his soul, Sung JiHan's proficiency in martial arts had greatly improved, and he had incorporated some of the techniques of the Heavenly Horse Divine Art into his own martial arts.

"My soul's abilities have also increased."

After reaching level 200, Sung JiHan's soul had been slowly growing. Even when he obtained the third Transcendence, Bingcheon Sword, he had remained in the 230s. But after the match with Dong BangSak, he had reached level 250.

In addition, through training in the training grounds and reviewing the battles from back then, his soul had increased by 1 or 2 points, and now it had reached 255.

"Furthermore, I have grasped some clues about the fifth Transcendence, Cheonsugangsin."

The martial art of the wood attribute, Cheonsugangsin, which was found to be related to the elf's regeneration.

Because of this, Sung JiHan had gained a lot from this battle with Dong BangSak, not just an increase in level.

However, there was one thing that was a little disappointing.

"I couldn't see the end of the Gugungpalgwae."

The fourth Transcendence, Mangwibongshin, and the true Gugungpalgwae of Dong BangSak that followed.

It was regrettable that just as it was about to reach the Chilseong, the god of war had intervened and taken him away.

Sung JiHan wondered what effect would have occurred if the sealing code had been manifested there.

"It's strange that the god of war intervened when he hadn't done so before, just when Dong BangSak's true form was about to be revealed."

Perhaps the god of war didn't want that special symbol to appear?

Even when the annihilation code was shown when Longinus pierced him with the spear of divine death, the god of war didn't intervene.

Sung JiHan tried to analyze the Gugungpalgwae while reviewing the match in the training grounds of emptiness, but there wasn't enough information.

"The information is too scarce."

Since it ended before Dong BangSak could fully unfold, Sung JiHan couldn't gather more clues from there.

For now, he stopped thinking about the Gugungpalgwae and focused on the other Transcendences.

"I still don't know how the third one works... and the fourth Transcendence seems to be a scouting code."

Scouting, sealing, annihilation.

Sung JiHan furrowed his brow as he organized the keywords he could infer so far.

Transcendence.

It was definitely unique to call it martial arts.

Sung JiHan recalled Dong BangSak's words.

"In an era where humans and spirits coexist, a man who worships the spirits and gods. He has been bestowed with the task of opening the era of humans...."

The purpose of Dongbangsak's skill is to seal the ears and senses.

Myeolsingyeol was more like a system that consolidated their skills and abilities, rather than a unified martial art.

"In the case of Longinus, it's divine assassination. Pithia is the exploration of finding immortals...."

Just by looking at the three revealed abilities.

They find and seal "immortals" that would be recognized as bugs on Battle.net and kill them.

That's the flow that was depicted.

In a way, Myeolsingyeol is the ability to find and eliminate immortality, as its name suggests.

However.

"The final Myeolsingyeol. Cheonsugangsin is a bit different here. This ability shows infinite regeneration. It's actually an ability that could become a target for Myeolsingyeol...."

Sung JiHan instinctively felt it.

Cheonsugangsin.

This ability is not just about having the same regenerative power as elves.

The enlightenment Sung JiHan gained from Dongbangsak is only a part of Cheonsugangsin.

The true nature of that ability has not been fully revealed yet.

"I wish I knew what Gilgamesh's ability is...."

Gilgamesh suspects that Pithia is the same person as the wandering god.

There was not even a small hint about his ability.

"...There's no conclusion even if we keep holding him. Let's go."

Sung JiHan organized his thoughts and left the training ground of emptiness.

The 2-week race called the Hell Race for the Korean national team.

Tomorrow is the second game, the match against China.

* * *

The game between Korea and Taiwan.

This game, which was predicted to end one-sidedly, was still causing waves among Battle.net fans around the world.

Especially.

The overwhelming skill shown by Heo WoTak stirred up the Chinese.

-Did everyone see that? This is the dignity of a Central Plains person.

-He easily crushed the arrogant Sung JiHan, who calls himself the Holy Seat.

-Using both Taegeuk and Cheonmasingong. The Holy Seat who descended upon Heo WoTak is truly a divine being of martial arts.

Recently, Sung JiHan's guild, the Waiting Guild, has been cooperating with the Chinese Battle.net Association.

The Chinese were in a state of considerable self-esteem.

In addition, with the rise in the strength of the Korean national team in 2021, they were threatened with the possibility of losing their position as the top team in the regional league.

Seeing Sung JiHan being overwhelmingly defeated by Dongbangsak in the second and third games, they felt catharsis.

And the Holy Seat who pushed him, using Taegeuk and Cheonmasingong, was a being that the Chinese admired.

-Why are they bragging about the Holy Seat's strength when it has nothing to do with them? LOL

-Seriously, it's not like he descended upon them, why are they making such a fuss?

-Ah... but I hope he doesn't descend again like last time.

-From what I've seen, there's a pattern. If Sung JiHan doesn't get banned, then we should suspect that the Holy Seat has descended again -_-

Korean fans wondered why the Holy Seat descended when it was Taiwan, and even worried if he would descend in the match against China.

From the Russia match to the Japan match, and now the Taiwan match.

Strangely, in the games where Sung JiHan was not banned, the regular players were active.

-But in the end, didn't they mostly win the games where the ban was lifted?

- Yeah, so we're tied for first place.

- But China is strong, so...

- It might be tough if we have to face Sung JiHan as well.

Due to recent matches, the presence of Sung JiHan's ban has become a measure to gauge whether or not there will be a Sung JiHan irregularity in the Korea-China match.

And...

- Ah... The Chinese coach. Sung JiHan is banned!

- Looks like the opposing team doesn't have Sung JiHan this time!

- This is ridiculous. It's disappointing that Sung JiHan is banned, but strangely, I feel relieved too.

- That's what I'm saying. The Taiwan match was so shocking!

When the Chinese coach revealed the ban card,

The commentators sighed in relief when they saw only Sung JiHan's name written on it.

"Looks like the opposing team doesn't have Sung JiHan this time."

"Yeah, it's a shame."

Yoon Sejin tapped him on the shoulder and said,

Sung JiHan let out a sigh as if he genuinely felt disappointed.

Yoon Seah, who was watching this from the side, looked at him with a bewildered expression.

"Didn't we struggle so much in the previous match? Aren't you disappointed? I saw you disappear a hundred times."

"But I learned a lot from Sung JiHan."

As the match progressed after the intervention of the gods,

No more messages came from Pitya.

Is this the end of the special training by the gods' disciples?

"Uncle, I'm going for the first match."

"Take a break, brother-in-law."

"Yes. Good luck in the match."

After being banned, Sung JiHan shook hands with Yoon Sejin's wife and

watched the first match from the player waiting room.

- The Chinese team won't use the select card.

- If you collect three cards, do you plan to use them for the Golem Duel map in the fourth match?

When you collect three cards, you can definitively choose the map for the fourth match.

This feature, known thanks to the elves in the Space League, has not been used since then.

In a series, where each match is precious, it was considered inefficient to collect cards for the fourth match.

However, the Chinese coaching staff...

They seemed to be considering using this option, which had been neglected until now.

"This is the strategy we simulated before."

"Yes. Continuously banning Sung JiHan and securing the Golem Duel map for the fourth match is the winning formula."

"Even though the ban probability decreases from the third match with a 50% chance, in the first and second matches, we will definitely be banned. We will win there and secure the final victory in the fourth match with the Golem Duel."

Sung JiHan, a player outside the standard specifications.

So far, he has been banned a few times due to the Sung JiHan's arrival.

Banning him was an obvious choice for every country facing Korea, unless they were powerhouse teams like China or the United States.

"It's a strategy that's hard to use unless you're a powerhouse like China or the United States."

The strength of the Korean national team has increased since Yoon Sejin's wife joined.

Even without Sung JiHan, they managed to join the ranks of the strong teams.

The strategy of securing a decisive victory with the Golem battle in the fourth game, winning 3:1.

But in order for that to be possible, there had to be an assumption that they could win 2 out of the first 3 games.

However, teams like Russia and Japan, who had faced Korea before, were unlikely to win even if Sung JiHan was excluded.

So, it was only reasonable to pick the Golem battle map for each game, like Japan, relying on luck.

"But China seems confident that they can win even without me."

Unlike Russia and Japan, China had quite a few SSS-level players.

No matter how much Korea had Yoon SeJin or Yoon SeA, it seemed that they were confident they could win as long as Sung JiHan was absent.

"In this situation, how did you decide to deal with it?"

When Sung JiHan asked the coaching staff, they answered with a confident expression.

"If the opponent doesn't use the select cards, the probability of us picking the map increases..."

"Coach, we decided to focus on selecting warrior-exclusive maps with the select cards."

"That's fine."

Even if Sung JiHan was banned, the national team still had the 2nd ranked world warrior, Geomwang.

While they collected select cards, Korea planned to focus on selecting warrior maps to secure victories.

=The Korean national team bans Jegal Heon and chooses the Vahalla map.

=Jegal Heon and Joo Ryung Ryung. China's key players! It seems that Coach No Young Joon judged that a mage is more threatening than a support.

=Recently, Wang Lin has also been called up to the Chinese national team and has been showing good performance. But if it's the Vahalla map, shouldn't they have banned this player?

=We only chose the select map, but the probability is 70 percent. In preparation for other random maps, it seems that they banned Jegal Heon, the most threatening opponent!

=So, for the first game... which map was chosen?

=Oh! It's Vahalla!

Shooooo.

When the Vahalla map was chosen, the Battle.net connector where the national team players were in opened partially.

From there, the position players excluding the warriors came out.

"Ah~ Vahalla. Too bad."

Yoon SeA, who came out of the connector, came back to Sung JiHan's side and watched the game screen.

"But we'll win since it's Vahalla, right?"

"Yeah, we will. Because Maehyeong participated."

China, who threw the dice to secure a decisive victory in the fourth game.

Korea, who chose the Vahalla map, tried to thwart their intentions.

Looking at the map chosen for the first game, it could be said that Coach No Young Joon's intentions were successful.

No matter how strong China's warrior Wang Lin, who had SSS-level gift, Heavenly Demon's Restraint, was.

He was still lacking in growth compared to Geomwang.

"We'll win the first game."

It was only natural for Sung JiHan to think that way.

However.

=Both countries' warriors. They will participate.

=With Yoon SeJin on the Korean national team, we feel secure!

"Oh. But the Chinese national team..."

=The players' appearance is strange?

=Th-their heads, they're missing! No. Until yesterday, they definitely had hair...!

=Could it be that those were wigs...?

The Chinese national team had also predicted and prepared for this situation.
