The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

* * *

"Regeneration shortens the recovery time necessary for muscle growth and promotes muscle synthesis by using both Heal and Great Heal at the same time..."

"That's correct."

After listening to Sung JiHan's explanation, Im GaYoung nodded and asked him a question.

"But is there a reason why Heal and Great Heal must be used together?"

"If only Heal is used, it can sometimes hinder muscle growth. Great Heal helps alleviate such side effects. It seems that Great Heal is related to the recovery of the nervous system fatigue... I'm not exactly sure of the detailed reasons myself."

Although she had heard a long explanation about the mechanism from Saint Sophia before.

She let it go since she wasn't a support class.

Sung JiHan decided to simply say, "It was the most effective in my experience."

The detailed mechanism will be revealed by other researchers later.

"If Great Heal is necessary, it would be difficult for low-level supports to use it."

"In that case, it would be better to just use Regeneration. Without Great Heal, fatigue won't be completely relieved."

-Isn't this quite advanced information?

-Really? Can we just spill it out like that??

-But it seems difficult to actually make use of it. It's unlikely that a support who can use Great Heal would help with training.

-Well, working at a hospital would definitely make more money, lolololol.

-No, no. If the effectiveness is proven, the story will change.

-Yes, guilds have more money than hospitals.

Was Sung JiHan explaining advanced information too easily?

The viewers who were listening to this seemed rather worried instead.

"It's okay. It would be great if this training method becomes widely known."

Seeing Sung JiHan's nonchalant response in the chat, Im GaYoung cautiously asked him.

"If it's not too much trouble... may I also try it once?"

"Of course."

Soon, Im GaYoung took off her suit jacket and stood next to Yoon SeA at the squat rack.

Even though she was wearing a thin shirt, her firm muscles were vaguely visible.

She inserted plates into the barbell.

-It becomes art when the two of them exercise side by side.

-But the weight they're lifting is violent...

-What weight are they putting on? Seriously, lolololol.

-If I tried, I'd probably be crushed to death, ㄷㄷ.

-GaYoung's eyes... her shoulders are wider than mine...

When Im GaYoung started squatting next to her.

"I should do it too!"

Yoon SeA, who seemed to be stimulated as well, finished resting and started exercising.

Exercising side by side seemed to stimulate each other.

The two of them relentlessly tortured their muscles, sweating profusely.

"Can I take off my shirt?"

"Ah... go ahead."

Im GaYoung, with her white shirt soaked in sweat, quickly took it off and started tearing her muscles in a tank top.

-Ouch... she's strong...

-Both of their muscles are so bumpy...

-Ah... it seems like two of the "Top 3 Beauties of the Waiting Guild" will have to "drop out."

-Suddenly dropping out??

-She's too strong to become my bride...

-ㅡㅡJust die.

"Hup!"

"Hoo...!"

As the two of them continued their intense workout, Lee Ha-yeon, who had been watching with wide eyes, turned her gaze towards the camera.

"Everyone, it suddenly turned into a fitness broadcast. I wanted to see how the owner does his training..."

"Me? Should I film it now?"

"Um... Do I have to wear heels?"

"After completely exhausting the muscles, I will use healing magic. So I'll wait for an hour before casting it."

Lee Ha-yeon looked at the two people working out and thought to herself.

...I can't film them tearing their muscles for a whole hour.

"Yes. Then, shall we go and watch the owner's training?"

* * *

The room next to the training room.

Unlike the training room with fitness equipment, this room was empty.

"It's completely empty."

"Yes. I don't need anything when I train."

Sung JiHan said as he raised his left hand.

"My training method is simple. Ariel."

Swoosh-

From Sung JiHan's arm, the dark elf Ariel popped out.

She looked at Sung JiHan with an indifferent face and asked.

"Master, are you going to do 'that' again?"

"Yes. This time, attack even stronger."

"Alright."

Ariel's form quickly disintegrated.

Instead of a physical body, she transformed into the original form of shadow energy and spread in all directions like mist.

[This time, I won't miss.]

Swoooosh-

The scattered black energy gathered together, forming small shapes of swords.

Although each individual sword didn't have a strong force due to its small size, there were so many of them.

They surrounded Sung JiHan from all directions, leaving no room for escape.

Seeing this strange sight, Lee Ha-yeon's eyes widened in surprise.

"Um... What kind of training is this?"

"This is a training method to control my spiritual power. If Ariel's sword touches my body, I lose. But if I can redirect the sword using my spiritual power, I win."

"I see. So there's a winner and loser. What's your record so far?"

"I have never lost before. Whether it's in the battle net or in training."

Sung JiHan calmly replied, and the swords surrounding him trembled.

[This time will be different. Master, make sure to hit and win.]

"Is there a bet?"

"Yes. I made a bet on whether you would allocate stat points to shadow-related stats when you level up next."

"Ah..."

-Allocating stat points with remaining points, huh?

-Haha, then there's no real loss, right?

-Yeah, the shadow stats seem like a scam too, haha.

As the viewers say, there doesn't seem to be much to lose, right?

While Lee Ha-yeon thought so, she didn't say it out loud, of course.

Soon, the training began.

Whoosh.

Small black swords appeared all around and flew towards Sung JiHan.

Some were fast.

Some were slow.

The speed of the swords was irregular, to the point where it couldn't be predicted.

However.

[As expected... it's not working?]

As Sung JiHan approached the area he controlled, the movement of the swords began to change on their own.

The sword that was about to pierce Sung JiHan's eyes turned its tip in the opposite direction.

The sword that was about to pierce his face and chest changed its direction and collided with another sword.

The rain of swords that were pressing down on him collided with each other or flew in the opposite direction, causing them to disperse.

Sung JiHan shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed expression.

"Hmm. Is this all?"

[Master... your control is impressive. Have you improved your control even more?]

"Next time, I'll have to increase the number a bit. At this rate, I won't be able to dodge forever."

[To do that, you'll need to increase your sword stat.]

"I don't have the luxury to do that yet."

After Sung JiHan and Ariel completely blocked the rain of swords, they finished their training and had a conversation.

-?

-What's this? Could it be... the end?

From the viewers' perspective, it was a rather unsatisfying ending.

From the outside, it seemed like the training ended too quickly.

The small sword that had shrunk like a pair of scissors flew a little and disappeared when it collided with each other.

-Somehow, the Helsgirls seem stronger.

-Yeah, my nephew is working out his muscles in the next room, and his uncle is playing with swords and having fun?

-Wow, unbelievable. Did you just call Sung JiHan "having fun"? You don't even understand the deep meaning behind the training!!

-Yeah, but you don't know either.

-You little... brats! Have you ever seen the Sword Rain of Victory?

-Grandpa! Stop watching the broadcast and rest. Your eyes will get worse!

While Sung JiHan's passionate fan base and light fans were in opposition.

"Oh. It's already over...?"

Even Lee Ha-yeon, who played the role of a reporter, thought that Sung JiHan's training was not much different from what the viewers thought.

"...This person. He's on a different level."

The bright smile on Joo Eun-ji's face, who was holding the camera, had disappeared.

Even when the access blocked message appeared after coming to the penthouse, she had forced a bright smile.

For the first time, her face was stiff, devoid of any smile.

"In an instant, he completely dominated this space."

Unlike Lee Ha-yeon, who was not capable of being considered a player.

Joo Eun-ji, even if her current body was just a clone and not her original self, had the ability to assess the situation.

"The power of controlling the shadow of the sword was definitely stronger than the power Sung JiHan exerted... It was stronger."

It looked so easy on the surface.

Even if it was Ariel's sword, wasn't it the power that started from Sung JiHan?

That's because you're showing such an easy control over it.

Anyway, the Shadow Sword is Sung JiHan's weapon.

What's difficult about controlling your own power? LOL

It's not a big deal!

That was the impression that the general public could have.

However.

"The power imbued in the Shadow Sword is at least three times stronger than the power Sung JiHan used to dominate space."

The incarnation of the Goddess, Ju Eunji, could clearly grasp Sung JiHan's skills.

Although their confrontation seemed to end quickly.

The exchange of power within it was extremely delicate.

The force exerted by the Shadow Sword was much stronger than the power Sung JiHan used to dominate space.

But through unbelievably precise control, he easily overcame the disadvantage in power.

"Even in that process... he effortlessly twisted the trajectory of the sword."

Based on his thorough control over space, he dominated a power much stronger than his own.

"I must... absolutely take him to Japan. If he stays in Korea, it will definitely have a big impact."

Ju Eunji bit her lip.

She thought that by provoking the Sword King, Korea would firmly trample over Japan and take the top spot in the league.

But the more she saw Sung JiHan, the more this conviction was fading away.

Right now, he may be just a Silver.

"But what about a year from now?"

Will he still be a Silver then?

Will he rise to Diamond and be selected for the national team?

Will he grow into the worst player who hampers Japan?

Ju Eunji couldn't be too sure.

"I don't know how such amazing players come out of this small peninsula..."

Even if it's to firmly trample over the rival teams in the East Asian league, Sung JiHan must definitely transfer to Japan.

That is the path for the country, and the path for everyone in his homeland.

"Today's training ends with this."

"Ah. Already done, sir?"

"Ugh. It's too bland... I was looking forward to JiHan's training the most."

"Well, why are you complaining even after seeing his perfect control?"

"For real; stop whining so much."

"Ugh... You said you only see what's in front of your eyes..."

"Grandpa, stop chatting, will you? -_-"

In the chat, there were complaints about the training video Sung JiHan had done, saying it was too bland.

But that's just the perspective of ordinary people.

Ju Eunji, who understood the hidden intentions behind that training, made a special decision.

"...Now is the time to use this."

With her right hand holding the camera and her left hand opening the diary.

And.

[Owner.]

Ariella in her sword state spoke to Sung JiHan, so that only he could hear.

[There's an Akashic page there.]
