The Return of the Legendary All-Master – 79



Chapter 79

Time passed quickly and the day of the second training that Khairos had mentioned arrived.

Even after a few days the corners of his mouth wouldn’t go down from the fact that his mother had obtained a hidden class.

If things continued like this his mother wouldn’t have to repeat the same past.

He had originally intended to forcefully change it anyway.

“You seem to be in a good mood.”

Khairos spoke looking at Jeong-Hoon’s expression.

“Yes.”

How could he not be in a good mood when his mother had advanced to a hidden class?

“Hmm then shall we start the second training right away?”

“Of course.”

There was no time to waste.

Jeong-Hoon planned to finish the training as soon as possible and obtain the Completed Martial Artist’s Mark.

“Haha…”

Khairos was impressed by Jeong-Hoon’s recovery ability.

Even after a week of harsh training he looked as if he hadn’t trained at all.

At this rate he should be able to complete the second training without any problems.

If the goal of the first training was to push mental strength to the limit now he had to complete the second training with that mental strength.

He guided Jeong-Hoon to the top of the Mu Tower.

On the top floor a portal was shimmering.

“What is this place?”

“The second training is simple. Enter here get recognized by the former tower master of the Mu Tower and come back out. That’s it.”

“Is it random who will appear?”

“That’s right.”

When Khairos was a disciple of the tower master he had used the portal.

The person he met was the tower master from two generations ago.

He glanced at Khairos once and then imposed a trial suitable for him and it took Khairos nearly two weeks to barely pass the trial.

‘I never thought the day would come when I would be guiding someone to this portal.’

No one had used the portal since Khairos became the tower master.

This was because they all failed to endure Khairos’ first training and dropped out.

‘The second training won’t be easy.’

Even Khairos had suffered for about two weeks because he couldn’t get recognition.

Fortunately the tower master who appeared to him had a relatively benevolent personality so he was able to get recognition.

If a strict tower master had appeared he wouldn’t have been recognized even after a month or two.

Honestly it was a training that required some luck.

[The moment the first tower master appears consider the training over.]

That was what had been passed down from the previous tower master.

The first tower master was a legendary figure who had built all the towers including the Mu Tower the Sword Tower the Bow Tower and the Magic Tower.

But he was said to be a crazy man.

If the first tower master appeared it would be impossible to pass the training.

“Then I’ll go in.”

“Good luck.”

Khairos stepped aside and Jeong-Hoon walked to the portal.

[Would you like to enter the Ancestral Tomb?]

Ancestral Tomb.

When Jeong-Hoon accepted his body was sucked into the portal.

* * *

[You have entered the Ancestral Tomb.]

“Where is this?”

It was called the Ancestral Tomb but it was no different from a regular training ground.

[Evaluating the entrant’s level.]

[Lv. 800 First Tower Master Siegfried appears.]

The one who appeared before Jeong-Hoon was none other than the first tower master Siegfried.

‘The first tower master appears here?’

The first tower master Siegfried.

Siegfried was a giant man with the appearance of someone in their early 20s.

And Siegfried’s level was 800.

‘Level 800? That’s incredible.’

When he was almost at the end of the game before returning he had succeeded in defeating a monster over level 1000.

Level 800 was a number that you might or might not see even if you reached a village that hadn’t been revealed yet in New World.

He hadn’t expected to encounter such a big shot in Autobahn.

It seemed that getting recognition from him might be quite difficult.

“Oh I didn’t expect you to come this far already.”

Siegfried glanced Jeong-Hoon up and down and gave a short exclamation of admiration.

“I came to get recognition.”

“Hmm I can’t just give it to you.”

Siegfried replied with a mischievous face and waved his hand lightly in the air.

The surrounding air changed and a blade-like storm arose and attacked Jeong-Hoon.

‘Amazing.’

The wind took the form of mana blades cutting and tearing his skin every time they touched him.

Jeong-Hoon had high detailed stats for a level 104 and he also had the Indomitable Body which had grown to Epic grade and reached level 10.

Nevertheless he was helplessly pierced by a single blade-like wind.

He hurriedly used Intermediate Healing to recover.

“Oh you’ve definitely gotten much stronger.”

Then as if nothing had happened the surroundings calmed down.

“Is the test to endure?”

“This is just a basic test. I can’t acknowledge you with just this can I?”

Siegfried snapped his fingers once.

Jeong-Hoon’s shoulders flinched.

[Divine power is sealed.]

The divine power that coexisted with mana was sealed.

The divine power hardened and couldn’t be used.

‘What is this guy?’

He had never seen the ability to control another person’s divine power at will even before returning.

And the fact that he touched the divine power meant that Siegfried also possessed divine power.

Otherwise he wouldn’t be able to intervene with divine power.

“What are you doing?”

“From now on recovery is prohibited. It’s too much of a cheat to use both mana and divine power at the same time.”

Is he going to put shackles on me?

Jeong-Hoon nodded.

“Alright.”

“Now shall we begin?”

As Siegfried gestured several targets appeared in the distance.

The circular targets had scores written on them.

The center was 10 points then 9 points and 8 points further out.

“What’s that?”

At Jeong-Hoon’s bewildered reaction Siegfried shrugged.

“It’s telling you to use a bow.”

“I’m a martial artist.”

“So?”

“Huh?”

“Go back if you don’t like it. You should have summoned another tower master if you didn’t like me.”

Siegfried’s lips curled up into a crooked smile.

This son of a bitch?

Did he think he summoned him because he wanted to?

Jeong-Hoon suppressed his boiling anger and looked at the targets.

“…So I just have to hit those targets?”

There were a total of 10 targets.

“Yes. The score… Hmm 80 points should be enough.”

80 points.

It meant he had to shoot all the targets with at least 8 points.

The distance seemed quite far and the conditions were tougher than he thought.

However Jeong-Hoon was proficient in all weapons to the point where he was called the All-Master before his return.

This was a piece of cake.

“Yes. Let’s do it.”

As Jeong-Hoon was about to take out Anima Siegfried suddenly held out a bow.

“Use this. The help of weapons is a luxury.”

As he said the bow was in terrible condition.

===

[Old Bow +3]

-Type: Bow

-Grade: Normal

-Attack Power: 14

-Remaining Durability: 20% (The weapon will be automatically destroyed when durability reaches 0.)

-The weapon has reached its maximum enhancement level.

===

A worn-out bow with only 14 attack power.

Moreover with only 20% durability it was trash that would be destroyed after a few uses.

“You’ll need arrows too right?”

Siegfried said handing him 20 wooden arrows.

The arrows also had no special stats except for an attack power of 1.

They weren’t for hunting but just for hitting targets.

‘Even for hitting targets they’re trash.’

Jeong-Hoon slung the quiver over his shoulder.

“I’ll finish it after shooting 20 arrows so go back on your own.”

Handing him trash and even limiting the number of arrows…

This meant he had no intention of acknowledging him at all.

I’ll wipe that smile off your face.

“Yes.”

Jeong-Hoon slowly pulled the bowstring.

Creak.

[The durability of the old bow has decreased by 1%.]

Just by pulling the bowstring once the durability decreased by 1%.

‘The total durability must be less than 1% of a normal Normal weapon.’

He had to control even the pulling of the bowstring.

Even though Normal weapons were rotten they weren’t this trashy.

Damn it. I need to finish this as quickly as possible.

Jeong-Hoon aimed at the target on the far right and released the bowstring.

Whoosh!

The wooden arrow drew a parabola and accurately pierced the center of the target.

“10 points?”

The smile that had been on Siegfried’s face disappeared instantly.

Jeong-Hoon continued his relentless attack.

Whoosh!

The arrow pierced the center of the last target.

There were 10 wooden arrows left in the quiver.

“100 points.”

He had hit all the targets and every single one of them was a 10.

“No… How is that possible from this distance?”

Siegfried couldn’t help but be flustered.

This old bow was originally made to be unusable.

He had no intention of acknowledging him from the start so he had given him this test as an excuse to send him back.

The fact that he had both mana and divine power was certainly noteworthy but that was all.

The overall aura he exuded was too weak.

He was probably only around level 100.

His stats might seem good for his level but he was far from being recognized by him.

He should at least reach level 400.

That’s what he thought but…

‘This guy… He’s better than me?’

Even Siegfried who was called the All-Master hadn’t mastered archery at that age.

But this guy perfectly controlled a trash bow and hit the targets.

That wasn’t something that could be done just by being good at shooting.

“Is this enough?”

“No not yet! This time it’s a spear!”

It seemed he was good at handling a bow but he couldn’t acknowledge him with just this.

“Yes. Give it to me.”

Jeong-Hoon beckoned with his hand asking for the spear.

“You insolent brat… Take this.”

Siegfried thought.

I’ll break that damn arrogance of yours.

* * *

‘Lightning Bolt.’

Lightning Bolt shot towards the scarecrow in front of him causing an explosion.

And then Magic Missile.

Four Magic Missiles upgraded to Epic grade were summoned and flew towards the scarecrow like boomerangs.

The remaining scarecrows couldn’t withstand the powerful destructive force of Magic Missile and exploded.

“Is this enough?”

Specially crafted scarecrows.

The scarecrows which reflected all physical attacks and could only be damaged by magic attacks were all destroyed and disappeared.

“…”

Siegfried stared at Jeong-Hoon with a blank expression.

“Excuse me?”

“…Who the hell are you?”

“As you can see I’m a human.”

“Bullshit. What martial artist masters all weapons at that age?”

After the bow it was the spear.

Then axes daggers.

Then throwing weapons and various guns.

He had handled countless weapons too many to list.

And he had passed all of Siegfried’s tests.

“I worked hard.”

“…Can you do that just by working hard? Are you really level 104?”

“As you can see I am.”

“Haha… You’re crazy.”

Siegfried was speechless at Jeong-Hoon’s prowess.

When he had reached the All-Master level he was level 704.

This was because it took him a long time to perfectly master white magic and holy magic.

Of course Jeong-Hoon seemed to be lacking a lot in magic but other than that he handled weapons perfectly.

It was a perfect skill aside from its destructive power.

Where did such a monster come from?

“If you’re done let’s finish this.”

Siegfried burst into a refreshing laugh.

He couldn’t help but acknowledge him after seeing such a wonderful performance.

“I acknowledge you. You’re a real monster.”

[You have been recognized by the First Tower Master.]

[You have acquired 30000 achievement points.]

A holographic message appeared in front of Jeong-Hoon.

He had completed the second training so he could now obtain the Completed Martial Artist’s Mark.

“Thank you.”

Now that he had been recognized it was time to go back through the portal he had entered.

Jeong-Hoon turned around without hesitation.

“Oh? Wait a minute!”

Siegfried quickly grabbed his shoulder.

Jeong-Hoon’s body was forcibly turned around unable to resist being grabbed by the shoulder by someone at level 800.

“What is it now?”

“I’m not that heartless. I can give at least one gift to someone I’ve acknowledged.”

“A gift?”

“Yes.”

Siegfried held out a black martial robe.

===

[Sealed Mukho]

-Type: Armor

-Grade: Epic

-(Sealed)

-(Conditions are required to unseal it.)

===

It was even a sealed robe that had lost its abilities.

Jeong-Hoon received the robe with a dumbfounded look.

“This is a gift?”

“Yes. Well it’s a bit ferocious so I sealed it. So try to unseal it and tame it yourself. Oh! And Mukho has a will of its own so the clothes regenerate themselves. You can tear and burn them as much as you want.”

“What the…”

Jeong-Hoon’s words trailed off.

Siegfried disappeared as if he had finished what he had to say.
