The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 152

- Why isn't JiHan doing a broadcast these days?

- Ah, it's been like this since Sophia arrived... I'm so anxious ㅠㅠ

- It can't be that he's really going to the US, right?

- It's been 3 days since Sophia arrived in Korea.

- Sung JiHan's channel hasn't opened a broadcast even once during that time.

- In addition, the media has been hotly discussing Sung JiHan's offer from American First Guild, and interviews with American First Guild officials have also been appearing one after another.

- [With the ability to play any position and dominate the game alone, Sung JiHan's value is absolute. The more we analyze the data from the China match, the more it proves that this player is already within the reach of the top players in the world.]

- [What's even more surprising is that he's gold. There's still a lot of room for growth! I hope he comes to the US. I don't want to meet him as an opponent in the Champions League!]

- Ah, why is there so much fuss about JiHan not going!!!!!

- Hasn't it already become a confirmed fact? I heard there were rumors that he was given a 10% stake in the guild master.

- They're giving him a stake? 10%?? Isn't that crazy?

- Hey, if it's that much, hasn't he already gone? ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- Seriously, it seems like he's already on the plane.

- In addition, as rumors spread that Sung JiHan was offered a 10% stake in American First Guild, people's anxiety only grew.

- Meanwhile.

- "Ugh. I almost didn't get first place today because of the sponsorship messages."

- Chi-iing-

- Yoon Se-ah, who came out of the Battle.net Connector Room, shook her head excitedly.

- "Why?"

- "Uncle, people keep asking if you're really going, and they keep asking while sending sponsorships. Even though I said I didn't know, they were so persistent..."

- "So you came to me because I'm not logged into the game."

- "Ga-young unni said the same thing. She's receiving a bombardment of sponsorships asking if she knows anything because we're in the same guild. But Uncle... how long are you not going to log in?"

- Yoon Se-ah roughly knew about Sung JiHan's plans.

- She thought that Sung JiHan not logging in was just a show for the transfer negotiations.

- However.

- "Me? I don't need to. I already reached level 100."

- "Huh? Already?"

- "Yeah. The Chinese guys made me level up a lot."

- More precisely, it was the influence of the China match that had been fought up to the 5th round.

- Since the opponents were all Diamond, and among them, the highest level, the level had risen more than in the Russian match.

- So even after the China match, the insufficient level was compensated by running Battle.net a few more times.

- As a result, he was able to achieve level 100 earlier than expected.

- "What about you, Se-ah?"

- "I'm level 47."

- "You'll be able to participate in the promotion matches within this month."

- "Yeah. Ever since I became a Void Archer, I've been consistently getting first place."

- Sung JiHan recalled the explanation of the Void Archer that Yoon Se-ah had changed to.

- The Void Archer who dealt with the power of emptiness.

- After changing jobs, she only gained one skill called 'Void Arrow'.

- But that one skill was an amazing cheat skill.

- "Se-ah, can you use Void Arrow on me again?"

- "Uncle, I've also grown. It might be dangerous."

- Sung JiHan smirked at the determination of level 47.

- "I hope it's dangerous."

- "Ugh. I'm not...! Fine. I'll shoot?"

- Yoon Se-ah immediately took out a bow from her inventory and brought her hand to the bowstring without putting an arrow.

- "Void Arrow."

- Sssshhh-

- Then, for a moment, a purple light shimmered on the bowstring.

Yoon Sae-ah endured the empty protest to the fullest.

Thud!

To the onlookers, it seemed like a mere test of her archery skills.

Sung JiHan, the target, smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth.

"She has improved."

Swoosh!

A purple light cluster appeared in front of Sung JiHan's chest.

It was the characteristic of the Void Arrow that it only became visible for a moment upon creation and the trajectory was completely invisible until it flew towards its target.

Bang!

Of course, it exploded powerlessly as soon as it revealed itself due to Sung JiHan's power.

Yoon Sae-ah nodded her head as she watched the disappearing purple light cluster.

"I still can't penetrate Uncle's domain."

"Can't you just create it inside the opponent's body? It's instant death if the Void Arrow appears inside the body."

"Of course I tried... but it didn't work that way. It seems like it's a concept of shooting through the dimensional world, so it couldn't be put into the body."

"What about piercing through protective barriers?"

"Yes. If there's something like Stone Skin that strengthens the skin or armor, it can block it. But even so, it's effective enough to explode nearby. It applies the debuff of Void Erosion."

The Void Arrow, shooting arrows into the dimensional world and closing the distance with the enemy without any hindrance.

After acquiring this skill, Yoon Sae-ah never missed first place in any game.

Not only were her basic stats good due to her waiting nature, but the skill was simple yet had a devastating effect, making it impossible for opponents of the same level or lower to withstand.

"Hmm. Is there anything wrong with your body?"

"No. Why?"

"Good."

"But Uncle, you reached level 100, why haven't you evolved your class?"

"I postponed it."

"Hey, where can you find a third-rate warrior who fights against China alone?"

Reaching level 100 meant that the time for the second evolution had come.

Although there was a slight thought of postponing it, evolving as Se-ah suggested seemed to be the better choice.

When Sung JiHan opened the status window and touched the class, four classes that were eligible for the second evolution appeared.

[Warlord]

[Silent]

[Seed of the God]

[Samurai]

"Warlord and Silent were third evolution classes, but they're available now."

In the previous life, when it came to the third evolution, he had struggled to choose between the two and ultimately chose Silent.

Sung JiHan passed on the first two classes and looked at the last two.

[Class - Seed of the God]

-The 6th seed of the wandering god.

-Instead of returning the power of the star, 'Soul', to its original owner, you gain immortality as a subordinate of the god.

-A class specially opened by the Cosmic Heavenly Horse, Dong Bangsak, and can only be selected in the second evolution.

"Dong Bangsak, it's involved in class evolution too...."

Sung JiHan stiffened his expression as he read the last part of the class description.

He knew she wasn't an ordinary person, but he didn't know she could give such a special class.

It was almost like a divine authority.

"I'll discard this."

Sung JiHan rejected the offer presented by Dong Bangsak and looked at the fourth class, Samurai.

[Class - Samurai]

-A Samurai who regressed from a third-rate warrior.

-Instead of growing by realizing his own limits, he is a warrior who believes there are no limits to martial arts and only pursues ideals.

-Although he is busy reciting the path of heaven and earth according to the ritual, sometimes such contemplation occasionally touches the pulse of martial arts.

* Evolution Bonus

-10% growth rate for strength, agility, and stamina stats.

10% increase in experience points bonus.

Increased chance of inspiration occurring during martial arts research.

"A third-rate warrior..."

The evolution bonus for a second evolution class like Sung JiHan was pathetic.

Especially compared to the seed of a god that guarantees immortality, even if one becomes a subordinate of a Warlord or a powerful third evolution class like a Berserker, Sung JiHan's evolution bonus seemed even worse.

However...

"Increased chance of inspiration occurring... I'm curious."

In the current situation where Sung JiHan had to modify his martial arts to suit himself in order to increase his soul power, a 10% decrease in growth rate for strength, agility, and stamina was not much of a penalty.

If there was a way to develop martial arts, Sung JiHan thought it was worth using his imagination as a third-rate warrior.

Sung JiHan chose to evolve into a third-rate warrior.

[The class 'Third-rate Warrior' has evolved into 'Sung JiHan'.]

[With the effect of All For One, the efficiency of the class has increased fourfold.]

[Class - Sung JiHan +3]

A Sung JiHan who regressed from a third-rate warrior to a Sung JiHan.

Rather than growing by realizing his own limits, he was a martial artist who only had lofty ideals and believed that there were no limits to martial arts.

Instead of training his body, he was busy reciting the rituals of heaven and earth, but sometimes those ideals touched the essence of martial arts.

* Evolution Bonus

-40% growth rate for strength, agility, and stamina.

40% increase in experience points bonus.

Increased chance of inspiration occurring during martial arts research.

Increased chance of inspiration occurring in SS-grade or higher skills.

With the addition of the effect of All For One, the negative growth rate increased fourfold, but the additional increase in inspiration occurrence in SS-grade skills was added.

"Strength, agility, and stamina are not in the stat window anyway, so it doesn't matter."

Sung JiHan laughed, thinking that it was a decent class evolution.

Seeing his uncle's face, Yoon Se-ah asked.

"What class did you change to that you're laughing like that?"

"Sung JiHan."

"Huh? Sung JiHan? Did they put that in as a choice for the second evolution?"

"Yeah. Isn't it good?"

Yoon Se-ah made a strange expression.

"It must be because Uncle has a reason for what he does..."

But still, Sung JiHan as a Sung JiHan...

For the third evolution, wouldn't it be going to an Errorless Warrior?

Boooom.

At that moment, Sung JiHan's phone vibrated.

[Owner. The negotiation team that received the delegation of power from the government has arrived. I will proceed with the basic negotiation according to what you told me.]

It was a message from the guild master, Lee Ha-yeon.

"The government officials have arrived. We're going down to the guild. Do you want to come too?"

"Yeah. Sophia is playing the game there, right?"

Inside the waiting guild, there was a BattleNet connector room.

Sophia pretended to negotiate and stayed in Korea for a few more days, connecting to BattleNet.

Because of this, Korean people were worried about Sophia's movements, and they sent support with concerns mixed in, asking about the negotiation process.

"Um... Uncle. Sophia keeps saying to expect good news. Were we going to go to the United States?"

"No. I just told her to negotiate well and rely on luck."

Sung JiHan checked Sophia's broadcast at Yoon Se-ah's request.

- Korean people! No matter what happens later, please continue to support us without change!

Sophia, who kept talking meaningfully, was fulfilling Sung JiHan's request 200%.

"Um... Should I tell them to control themselves a bit?"

"It's okay. Once we talk to the negotiation team, it'll be over."

Seeing Sofia like that, the government's negotiation team must have come quickly.

Sung JiHan chuckled and walked towards the elevator.

***

"...Are you really okay with this?"

"Yes. The owner told me not to be too greedy."

The representative of the government negotiation team, who was trying to hold onto Sung JiHan, blinked.

"...This isn't really much, is it?"

Sung JiHan's demands were not really significant.

He asked for the return of Sword Palace to Yoon SeA and a reasonable adjustment of the tax rate for the Waiting Guild.

"We have prepared tax exemption measures as a basic..."

"I wish I could do that too, but the owner insists on paying taxes."

"Ugh..."

"Of course, we went in with tax exemption measures as a basic..."

At this point, the government's initial negotiation proposal was much more valuable.

It included not only tax exemption measures, but also substantial government support for the Waiting Guild.

They even planned to establish various reward funds for Sung JiHan personally, giving him a large sum of money.

Even so, it was still far from reaching 10% ownership of American First.

"I was prepared to kneel down and cry!"

The conditions were impossible to match with the United States, so they were prepared to appeal to patriotism and beg for something to remain.

All the members of the negotiation team had even finished a tearful performance under the guidance of a skilled assistant the day before, so they didn't expect the other side to propose something so insignificant.

If that was the case, they should have come earlier.

"We are truly grateful, but... are you really okay with these conditions?"

"Yes, I'm disappointed too, but there's nothing we can do. The owner's decision is firm. However..."

"However...?"

"He says there's one more condition he wants to personally mention. Ah, he's coming down now."

Suddenly-

The door to the conference room opened, and Sung JiHan and Yoon SeA entered the room.

"Hello."

When Sung JiHan greeted the negotiation team, everyone stood up and bowed 90 degrees.

"Should we kneel now?"

"Should we cry?"

"No, wait a minute!"

While the negotiation team exchanged signals with their eyes.

Sung JiHan, after returning Sword Palace, mentioned the condition he really wanted.

"I heard that the top 10 guilds in our country receive additional guild buffs from the government."

"Yes... that's correct."

In response to Sung JiHan's question, the representative of the negotiation team nodded.

Additional guild buffs provided by the government in the top 10 guilds of the country.

China had concentrated all of this in the People's Congress, and the United States had given buffs to each state's leading guild.

Additional buffs that could be adjusted according to the central government's policies.

In Korea, all guilds belonging to the top 10 guilds received the same additional guild buffs.

"Could it be...?"

When the representative of the negotiation team heard about the national buffs, he felt uneasy.

He would rather ask for money, but could it be that...?

And that uneasy feeling soon became a reality.

"Among those additional guild buffs, please give us two... Increase in personnel expansion growth rate."
