Episode 178 The highest level of swordsmanship
“… … .”
After tasting the collaboration between stinky tofu and mint chocolate, Ellis became very calm.
This was not a metaphorical expression; he was staring blankly at the sky with an expression as if he had truly lost his soul.
A strand of green mint chocolate ran down the corner of his mouth, but seeing as he couldn’t even think of wiping it away… … .
I think it was a little too much… … is a mess.
I feel like I’m finally getting some sense of hierarchy.
‘It’s been proven that no matter how delicious minced greens are, stinky tofu can’t be beaten.’
Jinhyuk had a satisfied smile on his face.
OK.
“When I see you… … “I think the monsters in the tower are actually not that bad.”
Cheon Yu-seong, who was fiddling with his beer glass, quietly shook his head.
“I’m good enough. And people who like both stinky tofu and mint chocolate really like it?”
If you mix them together, one of them may die while eating them.
The problem is that one can really die.
“… … done. “Let’s not talk.”
“Rather than that, which faction did you choose? “You also receive a lot of love calls from here and there, right?”
Although not as much as Jinhyeok, many forces showed interest in Cheon Yuseong.
This is because the numerous achievements made so far have been so spectacular.
“Yeah, I got a lot of offers. but… … .”
After saying that, Cheon Yu-seong glanced at Jin-hyuk.
“I didn’t choose a faction either.”
Whoa.
If I had chosen a different place, I would have tried to force it out.
Surprisingly, the Great Sword Saint seems to be well aware of his fate.
“say it. You didn’t choose me on purpose to join my faction, right? huh?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. “The other guys just weren’t satisfied.”
“Okay, okay. You must be young. So are you going to join? “If you join now, we can give you a lot of extra benefits as an early member.”
“If I join the Goinmul Corporation or something, I could stab you in the back at any time. “Is it still okay?”
“well. “That won’t happen.”
“How can you be sure?”
“Winning through cowardice is not your style.”
Jinhyuk chuckled.
That guy always talks like that, but in reality, he is a foolish person who pursues the norm more than anyone else.
That’s probably why I’ve never won before.
“Words won’t be enough. good night. Beating you is the reason I climb the tower. “If we stay together, those opportunities will also increase.”
Cheon Yu-seong nodded.
[Player ‘Cheon Yu-seong’ accepts your offer.]
[The first faction member has joined.]
With this… … .
The first member of the faction entered.
‘Now that we’re done, let’s take care of the rest.’
In addition to Ellis and Teresa, we need to take care of other talented people like Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min in advance.
By the time he stands out in earnest, his price will have already soared.
Jinhyuk activated the ‘force status window’.
[Faction Information]
Name: Stagnant Water Corporation
Master of Force: Kang Jin-hyuk
Scale: Small (2/3)
Grade: D
Content: This is a new faction that has just been created, and although its influence on the tower is minimal, the performance of Jinhyeok Kang, the player who leads the faction, is worth keeping an eye on in the future. Currently, a number of forces in the middle layers of the tower are paying attention to the ‘Stuck Corporation’. The ‘gods’ at the top of the tower recognized the birth of a new force.
A different type of status window appeared than the personal status window.
This is the ‘force status window’ that only those who own the force can see.
‘Is 3 people still the limit?’
Depending on the size of the force, the number of players you can receive is limited.
Of course, if you wanted to increase the number of people, you had to pay a reasonable price.
And of course.
In the Tower of Trials, the basic currency used to pay was ‘Coin’.
Jinhyuk checked the coins he had collected so far.
A total of 1,637,218 coins.
The video that saved China from despair paid off by exceeding 50 million views in less than a day.
In addition, as the algorithm created synergy between videos, the number of views of other videos also increased.
‘This is proof that the number of subscribers is steadily increasing.’
If you continue to upload high-quality videos like this, a future will come where you will wake up with a lot of coins.
Jinhyuk, with a satisfied smile, invested coins to increase his ‘source of power’.
[The total number of force members increases to 23.]
50,000 coins per person.
It took a whopping 1 million coins to increase the number of people to 20.

Although it is a waste, it is a necessary investment.
If you have a strong supporter on your back, you will be able to prevent even the most unexpected variables.
Soon after, following Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, Kim Hee-woong joined.
“sorry. I am… … .”
Only Teresa trailed off as if she was troubled.
“it’s okay. I made a recommendation. “It wasn’t coercion.”
I knew which faction she chose without having to say it.
If she were a paladin, she would have joined hands with that place for the future.
‘Empire’, specifically ‘Holy Kingdom’.
‘It’s better.’
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up.
Rather, this episode will be of great help in planning future events.
After organizing his thoughts, Jinhyuk fell into drinking again.
How long has it been like that?
As we laughed, chatted, ate and drank, dawn came before we knew it.
Both Cheon Yu-seong, who pretended to be strong, and Teresa, who was weak to alcohol to begin with, both fell asleep with their faces buried in their seats.
When it came to alcohol, Yoo Yeon-hwa, who had been loudly shouting that she wouldn’t lose, was so strong that the rest was obvious.
In the meantime, there were two people who maintained their sanity.
It was Jinhyuk and Ellis.
“you. How can you lose your mind? “Are you really not a vampire?”
“It’s me, I used to blow soju out of a bottle while broadcasting a mission.”
As I drank a bottle of Chamisul without stopping in exchange for 1,000 star balloons, my drinking naturally increased.
Now that I think about it, those are all just memories. Of course, at the time it was more like a struggle for survival.
“Are you going to go to the tower again tomorrow?”
“okay. I have to meet Yang Ho-myeong and conquer the stairs I had been putting off. Above all, we have decided to make contact with the Empire in a week, so this is the end of our rest.”
Information I heard from Cheon Yu-seong.
The pass that Ellis received from Yang Ho-myeong.
With this, all the cards have been collected.
＊＊＊
A huge natural cave.
Hundreds of masked people gathered here.
Again! Again!
Even though there were quite a lot of people gathered together, you could even hear the sound of water drops… … .
The inside of the cave was shrouded in silence.
Everyone is waiting for one man to open his mouth.
“That’s annoying.”
Finally, the man opened his mouth.
Yang Ho-myeong, head of Heukpunghoe (黑風會).
[Tower of Trials] He is a member of ‘Murim’, a huge force that dominates the middle class.
Yang Ho-myeong glanced at the hologram clock in the air.
[12:00]
The clock showed exactly on time, no more, no less.
“If I’m not mistaken, it seems like the promised time has come… … .”
The air became even heavier at the angry voice.
Appointment time.
Yes.
That’s the reason why so many people are waiting here.
“Zu, I’ll check it immediately.”
One of the masked people lowered his head.
But right then.
“There’s no need for that. “I just arrived.”
Jeez.
A shout of presence was heard from the cave entrance.
A man with a motorcycle helmet on his face struggled to get inside.
“This floor is entirely jungle, so it’s very difficult to find a meeting place. What trouble is this, leaving a good coffee shop alone? “No matter how much I got a pass, even ten real lives would have been missing.”
“Are you the messenger Unknown sent?”
“okay. “You can think of it as a delivery service.”
“What did you promise?”
“Of course I brought it.”
The man took out a book from his arms.
An old book that looks very old.
“It was really hard to get this. To be honest, do you feel like you are losing money with just the ‘Seoncheonjingi Health Complex’?”
“If you’re going to bargain, do it while looking at the other person. “I don’t have enough patience to listen to bullshit.”
A thin ray of life rose from Yang Ho-myeong’s body.
The man flinched and waved his hands.
“… … Just kidding. Just kidding. They must have been people who practiced martial arts in caves, so their sense of humor was limited. Now, stay here.”
The man handed over the old book to Yang Ho-myeong.
“Where is the elixir?”
“wait. Confirming the authenticity of the secret comes first.”
“Well, were you just fooled? “It’s a job where you can make a living with just credit.”
The man shouted, but Yang Ho-myeong lightly ignored his words.
Exciting! Exciting!
My heart is racing.
I finally got my hands on the season of [Sword Saint].
How long have you been waiting for this day?
Yang Ho-myeong turned the first page of the old book with trembling hands.
[7.15 Weather Clear]
[Today, I went for a walk with my dad and Poppy. It was a hot day and Poppy was having a hard time. I have to go out in the evening starting tomorrow. There is only one week left until vacation. It was a really fun day.]
… … .
A heavy silence flows.
Yang Ho-myeong gently pressed his temples and closed his eyes.
As if he hoped that what he saw was a dream.
However, when I opened my eyes again, nothing had changed.
Even the crooked letters.
Even the man who was struggling right in front of me.
It was still there.
This is f*cking reality.
“this… … . crazy.”
A swear word came out of Yang Ho-myeong’s mouth.
It is far from enough to express it with the word anger.
Only the thought of tearing him to pieces and killing him filled my mind.
“How dare you insult me? “Did you think you could survive here after doing something like this?”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The entire cave trembled from the force that erupted.
[‘Black Heaven’ is activated!]
An ominous yet dark history.
This is the unique ability of Yang Ho-myeong, the head of the Black Wind Association and a high-ranking member of the martial arts group.
The man took a step back due to the terrifying energy.
“Ji, calm down. Are you asking me to get a book written by Geomseong? Is that the real thing that Geomseong used when he was in elementary school? “I went to the teacher at the school and checked for myself.”
“This guy until the end… … . OK. “I will personally rip out all your internal organs.”
In an instant, Yang Ho-myeong’s new form disappeared.
The distance narrowed in the blink of an eye.
Quaaaang!
A fist full of internal force was inserted into the man’s abdomen.
It is so powerful that it would not be surprising if the upper and lower bodies were split apart.
however.
“… … !?”
Yang Ho-myeong urgently widened the distance.
“This is… … .”
can not believe it.
It’s not simply because the opponent didn’t just die from the attack.
The energy rising from that man.
So similar to your own.
No, rather, a much darker and ominous black flame flickered.
“That’s what I said. “Calm down.”
The man brushed off the dust on his abdomen.
“omg!”
“Unbelievable… … .”
The masked people watching the fight around them widened their eyes.
Just in case, I raised my strength to the limit.
My whole body was shaking as the flesh stabbed my skin.
“Wow, that’s ridiculous! “How can you know the seasons of a text that was lost hundreds of years ago!”
It can be said to be the predecessor of the Black Wind Society.
A season used only by ‘him’.
It was so complicated and full of nonsense that I couldn’t even understand it.
It just remains as a non-payment.
It is safe to say that it is a martial art that has virtually disappeared.
however.
Why on earth… … .
“Yes you bastard! “What kind of trick have you pulled?”
Are you saying that martial arts is being recreated here?
It’s impossible.
This cannot happen.
However, even after seeing the martial arts unfolding before my eyes, I could not deny the reality.
Right then.
The man slowly took off his helmet.
Then a very familiar face appeared.
Jinhyuk Kang.
The appearance of the ranker who is said to be the strongest in Korea.
‘I can copy the abilities used by others.’
And the abilities created through copying and fusion… … .
It is the ‘higher version’ of the series.
[‘Grave of the Sword’ and ‘Dark Sky’ are fused.]
[The fusion was successful.]
[Copied abilities are stored in ‘World Memory’.]
[‘Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor’ is activated!]
A power of a different order.
Grumble!
A dark red burning energy began to encompass the entire cave.
