‘It’s always the sandbag Shin Se-gun. It’s the same with Shin Tae-ri, and it’s also the stage where the Storm God tested me.’
Sang-Hyeon, who arrived at the special training ground following Lee Dae-Hyeok and Song Gyu-Jeong, had a bitter expression on his face.
If we look only at the style he pursues, Sang-Hyeon was a type that was close to extreme attack.
Rather than trying to counterattack after defending, they launch a fierce attack, and in the process, lure out the opponent who is trying to counterattack.
But the task that Sang-Hyeon had to perform today was completely different from that style.
All I had to do was withstand Song Gyu-jeong’s attacks for 10 minutes.
The standard for judging whether or not you have persevered will be the training artifact provided by the Eden Guild.
It was an artifact in the form of a full-body tights that covered the body, and its official name was Protector.
The strength of the Protector is that it perfectly protects the body until the durability of the Artifact becomes 0.
As long as durability is maintained.
Because the tough bond is maintained, no matter how much you cut or stab with a sword, it does not cause harm to the body.
So, we check the durability of the artifact through the large monitor installed in the special training ground.
Before durability reaches 0, the test can be ended when it drops to a predetermined level.
‘This is my first time wearing an epic-grade artifact in the form of clothes. Expensive things are definitely better.’
Sang-Hyeon thought about it while putting on his protector in the changing room he was guided to.
The only epic artifact that Sang-Hyeon currently possesses is the Belt of the Rising Current.
I have never experienced an artifact of the legendary or almighty rank in my entire life.
However, it is said that the Eden Guild also possesses two top-tier artifacts.
Deep down, I felt envious of that part. It was a world that still felt distant to Sang-Hyeon.
It was a test that could use real weapons, so it was virtually a real battle.
I looked out the window in one corner of the changing room and saw that several officials had arrived.
Since Sang-Hyeon requested limited participation from outsiders, it seems that Lee Dae-Hyeok selected only the necessary personnel.
‘The three are one body.’
Sang-Hyeon smiled as he looked at Kim Mi-So, Shin Tae-Ri, and Jo Jin-Ho sitting side by side at the viewing table.
A combination of people in their 20s, early 30s, and mid 30s. They were really close, like siblings.
‘If you think about it the other way around, Song Gyu-jeong could also be a sandbag in another sense.’
Sang-Hyeon took the Storm God’s Test this time and checked out his greatly upgraded skills.
Starting with Defensive Sword, there were quite a few skills that grew rapidly.
Just looking at the increased skill level, it was a level that would have taken an average player at least two years to reach in an instant.
It saves a significant amount of time, simply because it has the attention of the divine being.
Thud. Thud.
When I heard footsteps coming from the center of the training ground, it seemed like Song Gyu-jeong was coming in after finishing his preparations.
The upper chamber is also ready.
“… … .”
Sang-Hyeon closed his eyes for a moment.
I drew up some hypothetical situations and filled them with my own movements. It was image training.
Song Gyu-jeong is a master of dual swordsmanship.
The level is also incomparably higher than that of Sang-Hyeon. A difference of nearly five times cannot be overcome with luck.
“As always, I’ll do my best.”
There is only one correct answer.
Fighting with all your might, without letting your guard down for even a moment.
That is the truth and courtesy towards oneself and others. Sang-Hyeon never forgot it for a single moment.
* * *
Same time.
Kim Mi-so raised her voice in a loud voice as she saw Song Tae-jeong sitting at the table next to her.
“Taejung. You said your leg was hurt, but you took the cast off so quickly? This is the first time I’ve seen a cast that wasn’t even on for a week.”
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“No, I thought maybe he had some kind of incredible regenerative ability. He was injured so badly that he couldn’t participate in the battle during the expedition, so he left.”
Kim Mi-so was confident.
In the 4-10 route strategy, Song Tae-jeong pretended to be injured because he didn’t have confidence in dealing with the splitter.
I didn’t want to die, but I had to continue the attack, so I made my teammates suffer in my place.
At that time, he claimed that his injury was so severe that he could not even stand on the ground. Of course, this was his own statement.
But after a few days, the cast was taken off and I was walking around without limping, so I couldn’t help but feel relieved.
“I’m better now so I’ll go.”
“That’s really great.”
“Which side are you on, Sister? Why are you so impatient when you can’t catch up with your guildmates?”
“Me? I’m on the side of the righteous. I don’t turn a blind eye to evil deeds just because we’re members of the same guild.”
“Anyway, because of that guy named Shin Sang-hyun, my sister’s judgment has become clouded… …. That kind of guy needs to get some real education.”
“Hey, Song Tae-jeong!”
“Take it easy. Just know that public opinion towards you these days is extremely bad.”
“you…….”
“Stop it, Miso.”
Shin Tae-ri stopped Kim Mi-so.
The enmity between the two had been well known for a long time, so I didn’t take it seriously.
Kim Mi-so also shook her head and looked away, perhaps thinking that further debate was pointless.
In the middle of the training ground, Sang-Hyeon and Song Gyu-Jeong, who had come out fully prepared, were facing each other.

The durability of the protectors worn by both people was displayed in sync on the large monitor.
[Shin Sang-hyun: 1000]
[Song Gyu-jeong: 1000]
Durability will not be reduced all at once with a single attack.
However, the common opinion of the three people here was that with Song Gyu-jeong’s skills, the situation would be over if he allowed only three valid attacks.
– start!
The test began with Lee Dae-hyuk’s voice holding the microphone.
Pfft!
The one who took the initiative was Song Gyu-jeong.
As soon as he heard Lee Dae-hyeok’s voice, he kicked the ground and ran fiercely towards Sang-hyeon.
“It’ll be difficult if you give me the initiative.”
Jo Jin-ho evaluated it coolly.
He is one of the people who experienced Song Gyu-jeong. The aggressive Song Gyu-jeong was a player who was right in suppressing the offensive.
Right then.
“Ugh!”
Song Gyu-jeong, who was running towards Sang-hyeon with a scream, stopped as if he had been crushed by something heavy.
“What, what is it… … ?”
Shin Tae-ri and Kim Mi-so, who were watching from the side, were also momentarily flustered.
This is because Song Gyu-jeong’s fast movements stopped at one point as if he had been nailed.
It was the descending current of the upper body.
“I haven’t seen you before… … .”
Kim Mi-so’s mouth opened.
She intuitively sensed that Sang-Hyeon had developed a new skill.
Like a spring that never dries, Sang-Hyeon’s steps add one more skill every time you see him.
It’s a series of absurd and abnormal events, but it’s now becoming a normal thing for Sang-Hyeon.
Song Gyu-jeong, the person involved, was also embarrassed.
Sang-Hyeon only swung his sword lightly once, but it felt like something heavy had hit his shoulder.
It felt like I was standing in a space where gravity was several times stronger? Everything required more strength than usual.
Right then.
While he was distracted by the gravity-enhancing effect created by the descending air current, the ascending air current that Sang-Hyeon quickly blew covered Song Gyu-Jeong.
“Eww!”
This time my body floated.
My body, which had been extremely pressed down just a moment ago, suddenly floated up, and my center of gravity was completely shaken.
Not only that, but I was dragged up in a way that made my shoulders feel like they were being lifted, which gave me an unexpected shock.
“Pressed and held, then lifted back up. Hell has begun. Those status-related options are really… … crazy.”
Jo Jin-ho stuck out his tongue.
Of course, he is known as a named player who is unrivaled when it comes to causing stiffness.
But that too is a situation where the title is threatened by Sang-Hyeon.
But Sang-Hyeon has not only stiffness, but also a variety of options. Jo Jin-Ho was afraid of that.
Even Song Gyu-jeong, who was higher in rank than him, was already struggling with his abnormal condition.
at that time.
『Whispers of Darkness』
Sang-Hyeon used his skill to blind Song Gyu-Jeong, who had completely lost focus.
Unlike other skills, the Dark Whisper skill had a structure where the black projectile was clearly visible.
The moment they saw the black sphere emerging from Sang-Hyeon’s fingertips, everyone in Kim Mi-So’s group was shocked.
“… … You can use magic skills too, now?”
“Could it be an abnormal status skill? No way?”
Kim Mi-so and Shin Tae-ri’s eyes wavered. Jo Jin-ho kept his mouth shut and was trying to figure out what kind of skill it was.
“I can’t see… … !”
But, as I listened to Song Gyu-jeong’s straightforward words, my doubts were immediately resolved.
Of course, Song Gyu-jeong has an artifact among the artifacts he wears that reduces the duration of abnormal status by 50%.
So, it wouldn’t last long, but the question was whether Sang-Hyeon really didn’t know that.
As expected.
Kuaaaah!
The great sword of fighting spirit that flew in while cutting through the wind coolly struck Song Gyu-jeong’s back.
He threw his greatsword at Song Gyu-jeong, who was floating in the air, while gaining strength in an accelerated state.
“Eww!”
The knockback burst that was triggered at the right time, in conjunction with the collision, was the finishing touch. Song Gyu-jeong flew into the air for a long time.
As the series of outrageous scenes unfolded, the face of Song Tae-jeong, the younger brother who was watching, turned ashen.
I thought that Sang-Hyeon would be trampled by true education from the beginning, but rather than being educated, he was being trampled on.
‘Unless Song Gyu-jeong is stupid.’
Sang-Hyeon didn’t let his guard down at all even though he saw the situation going well.
Whirlyrick!
As expected, Song Gyu-jeong took out a dagger from his bosom and threw it at Sang-hyeon as he fell.
It is also a characteristic of experts.
Activating a number of counterattacks that break the board in situations that are considered the most unfavorable and dangerous.
Sang-Hyeon had also anticipated this point in advance, so it wasn’t difficult to respond.
Kyaang!
Song Gyu-jeong’s dagger fell powerlessly in the spot where he had successfully blocked the attack with his defensive sword.
There were no longer any restrictions on the use of the Defensive Sword, so I could move around leisurely while erecting a defensive barrier.
“That defensive skill was originally a fixed skill that moved along with Sang-Hyeon Oppa, but it was changed to a mobile skill.”
“Is it an upgrade?”
“You probably got some skill work or some option to make changes.”
While Kim Mi-so and Jo Jin-ho looked at Sang-hyeon with curious expressions, curses were heard from the side.
“F*ck… … .”
It was the anger of a younger brother who saw his older brother being unilaterally beaten. Song Tae-jeong’s face had a shit-eating expression.
Meanwhile, Lee Dae-hyeok was diligently writing something down while maintaining an expressionless face.
Judging from the fact that his gaze was fixed only on Sang-Hyeon, it seemed that he was analyzing Sang-Hyeon.
‘That would be interesting. I did that too.’
Shin Tae-ri thought that, regardless of his intentions, he had cut off the beginning of Sang-hyeon being completely imprinted in Lee Dae-hyeok’s eyes.
“fu*k… … !”
Bang! Bang!
Song Gyu-jeong expressed his anger by slamming his two swords on the ground with a furious expression.
Even if I had to lose face, I couldn’t do it like this.
No matter how unexpected it was, I ended up getting defeated by a rookie who was only at level 100!
An unacceptable situation.
Song Gyu-jeong immediately used the awakening skill.
It was a skill that drastically increased physical abilities, like Sang-Hyeon’s Over Psychedelic.
The first plan to toy with Sang-Hyeon by allocating his stamina appropriately was completely destroyed.
『Over Psychedelic』
Sang-Hyeon also went on to develop over-psychedelic music.
There was silence as they stood about 10 meters apart, watching each other’s movements in a state of heightened arousal.
Song Gyu-jeong, who would have rushed in several times if it were normal, became passive after being beaten so badly.
Right then.
Knock knock knock.
Sang-Hyeon provoked Song Gyu-Jeong by flicking the tip of his palm with a calm expression.
“What are you doing? Time flies.”
“This kid… … !”
The silence didn’t last long.
