Jin Tae-kyung’s energy is divided into two types.
One is the spirit that was honed as a means of survival as a martial artist.
Another is the feeling given as an individual skill through the system.
If the former is something that occurs as naturally as breathing in everyday life, the latter is a principle that activates the system based on a clear will and goal.
‘When I was weak, I had no choice but to rely a lot on my energy skills.’
Although Jin Tae-kyung’s frequency of use decreased sharply after his martial arts reached a certain level, the use of the Gigam skill, which had tremendous advantages, still remained.
Especially, like now, when you want to take a closer look at an unknown person.
‘Skill, energy activated.’
The moment Jin Tae-kyung recited the command in his mind, the blue circle of [Gi-gam], which had already reached 9 stars, quickly expanded.
Sssssssssssss.
There was neither sound nor form in this special ability given to Jin Tae-kyung.
However, there are only very subtle waves that only a few experts who have reached a high level can feel.
And this was another device to determine the identity of that monster called Daein (大人).
‘If the skill is successful, we will be able to determine its exact identity, and even if it fails, there is no real loss.’
Of course, energy sense skills are not omnipotent.
Experts who exceed the limit that can be identified by the skill may have their level displayed as a question mark, or may feel the wave that occurs with activation and immediately bounce away.
In the case of Jeokcheongang, there was even a time when he adjusted his energy on his own during the first meeting and was displayed at an absurdly low level.
However, it was important to Jin Tae-kyung how he would deal with that extreme expert who looked like a beggar, and what information the skill that had already been activated would provide.
‘Who the hell are you?’
Jin Tae-kyung stared at the other person with deeply sunken eyes.
That wild-haired monster is scratching his greasy head with a nonchalant look, not knowing what’s going on or if he’s just pretending not to know.
And he was able to clearly witness the blue circle that would lift the veil of secrecy surrounding him finally reaching its goal.
At the same time, a familiar notification pierces my ears.
Tibibig!
A sharp noise signaling failure rang out, and Jin Tae-kyung knew what this meant.
‘He’s an expert. A higher level than me.’
However, Jin Tae-kyung was not shaken at all.
I have personally experienced to the point that level is not an absolute measure that divides the strong from the weak.
At best, it is possible to clearly determine strength and weakness based on the level of the level, but only at the top or peak level, and the experts who exist beyond that are different.
In the past, when he was at the peak of his powers, Jin Tae-kyung, who had already achieved successive victories against enemies dozens of levels higher, was particularly unaffected by level.
However, even Jin Tae-kyung, who was aware of all of this, could not help but be at a loss for words after seeing a single line of message that appeared before his eyes the next moment.
– Skill, [Feeling] half successful!
“… … uh?”
A retort slipped from between my lips without me realizing it.
Jin Tae-kyung blinked blankly at the slightly different content from the failure notification he heard earlier.
Success is success, failure is failure, and what does half-success mean?
‘Wait a minute, now that I think about it, I think the failure notification earlier sounded a bit strange… … .’
And before the question in his head could be completed, the monster suddenly turned his head as if he sensed something strange and opened his mouth towards Jin Tae-kyung.
“Oh, I think there was a strange wind blowing from that direction just now. “Did you feel it too?”
But Jin Tae-kyung did not answer.
No, you were right that you couldn’t answer.
Since becoming able to use the special ability called the system, I have been busy staring at strange phenomena that I have never seen before.
[Lv.119 ???]
Three question marks.
That was it.
Even though I rubbed my eyes with my sleeve and blinked hard several times, there was only a question mark where the name should have been.
‘… … Has it ever been like this?’
He asked himself a question, but Jin Tae-kyung already knew the answer.
There wasn’t.
Absolutely. Not once so far.
Although there were a lot of enemies whose levels were marked with question marks, they weren’t as big as their names.
Each person has their own name, whether it is a pseudonym to hide their identity or a real name given to them by someone at birth.
But the great man in front of me was not that monster.
And this current situation, which is extremely unfamiliar and embarrassing, forced Jin Tae-kyung to ask this question.
“What the hell are you?”
At that short question, which was suddenly asked with considerable embarrassment and a hint of doubt, everyone around him looked at the person at the same time as if he had made a promise.
Jin Tae-gyeong’s tone earlier felt quite rude, but even Hyeon Cheon Jin-in and the disciples of the Gong Sect, who had received great help from Dae-in, forgot to point out that fact.
I just wanted to know a little bit about the identity of that strange benefactor whom no one had heard of even though we had been together for several days and nights.
In addition, the Hwaryongak members, including the Hwawang and Gungseong, also reacted in the same way.
The existence of the transcendental master, who had been confined to a remote corner of Ninghe Province for over a decade, aroused curiosity with its very existence.
And in front of so many eyes focused on him for a split second, the great man asked a question without any hesitation.
“huh? “Are you asking me now?”
“Yes, you.”
“Oh, that’s a great question.”
In response to Jin Tae-kyung’s low answer, Dae-in scratched the back of his neck, which was dripping with water, and smiled brightly, revealing his yellow teeth through his long flowing hair.
“Now that I think about it, I haven’t even made a full statement yet. Now let’s say hello formally. I am… … .”
The surroundings suddenly became as quiet as if a rat had died.
Hundreds of intensely focused eyes were focused on the man’s slowly licking lips.

“Cough. My throat hurts because of the dust. I would do it again. I am… … .”
People seemed to be going crazy with curiosity as they cleared their throats and their voices slowed down again.
Who will it be?
A hidden person whose name is not yet known?
Or is it a former veteran who was forgotten by the public a long time ago?
If not… … Could it be that he was once a member of the Demonic Cult but then reformed and reformed?
With so many speculations growing bigger by the minute, the great man continued speaking in a serious tone.
“uh. So, I… … .”
“Have you seen this worldly bastard!”
It was the moment when Jeokcheon-gang, who had already lost half of his senses after repeating ‘I’ for the third time, rolled his eyes and tried to move forward.
The great man, who had been repeating the same thing while twitching his lips, let out an exclamation as if he had come to some great realization.
“That’s right. “I think that’s it!”
“No matter how much Kangho’s duties have fallen to the ground, how can he do something like this?” … what?”
When Jeokcheongang, who hesitated while taking a step, asked back with an embarrassed face, Daein even applauded and shouted again.
“What you said a moment ago seems to be true! Crazy, I think that’s my name!”
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
At the same time, a breathtaking silence fell.
Without a single exception, they looked at the person with mesmerized eyes and then at each other.
Exchanging inaudible words with our eyes.
‘What on earth.’
‘Did I hear wrong?’
‘Crazy guy? ‘That’s a person’s name?’
‘No, does this make sense right now?’
However, no matter how much they exchanged glances, the reality before their eyes did not change, and Jeokcheongang turned his head, caught in a feeling of extreme embarrassment that he had never felt before in his long life.
Towards his one and only student, who had already made him feel that ‘extreme embarrassment’ several times.
“So now… … “What kind of nonsense was that damn bastard talking about?”
However, like the teacher, the disciple was also unable to fully understand and accept the current situation.
No, if it had been more than that, it would have been more, not less.
[Lv.119 crazy guy]
“… … .”
Jin Tae-kyung thought, looking blankly at the hologram window that changed above Daein’s head.
‘What is it, really?’
First of all, it has changed. It has definitely changed.
however. Yes, but… … .
‘So how on earth did this happen?’
Can we really say that this has changed? No, maybe there is an error in the system now.
Just when countless thoughts and regrets were passing through his head like a meteor shower, a person he had forgotten for a moment opened his mouth next to Jin Tae-kyung.
“Hey, I thought you were feeling better, but you’re like this again.”
As everyone’s attention followed the voice that broke the suffocating silence, a middle-aged man with a ferocious appearance and a former member of the Magic Bandits flinched and opened his mouth.
“Uh, don’t worry about it, everyone. “It’s just my usual self.”
“Is this what you normally look like?”
In response to Jin Tae-gyeong’s question, Ma Jung-geol, a former magic bandit who was active in Ninghe Castle, the current leader of the White Horse Banner, and the eldest brother of the White Horse Seven Sects, nodded with a smile on his face.
“Well, that’s right. “Didn’t we talk about it once before?”
It was only then that Jin Tae-kyung was able to briefly remember.
The story of Ma Jung-geol, who said that Dae-in was not normal.
“No, that’s still true. What is this… … .”
“Do you know what the nobleman’s name was when I visited his residence a few months ago?”
“What.”
“Jeomsuni.”
“… … !”
“Every time I go, the name changes. “There were times when it was dog dung and cow dung.”
At a time when Jin Tae-kyung was frozen, unable to find anything to say, Dae-in suddenly took a deep breath and shouted.
“Wow, dog poop! okay! I think it was dog poop! Be sure this time! maybe!”
Tiring.
[Lv.119 Gaeddongi]
At that moment, Jin Tae-kyung gave up thinking any more.
