The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 385

Barren Training Ground.

"You've arrived."

On the face of the cosmic figure, the owner of the arena wearing a monk's robe greeted Sung JiHan.

"The repairs were done earlier than expected."

"I received orders from above to prioritize this."

"If it's from above, the black administrator?"

"Yes. And..."

As the owner of the arena extended his hand,

Shwoooosh!

A purple circular model of a stadium rose from the dark floor.

"A special arena will be held to make it easier for you to reach level 500."

"Arena to help level up..."

"Yes. It's to upgrade the Barren Training Ground as soon as possible."

"Is this also ordered by the black administrator?"

"Yes."

"Well, instead of holding an arena, why not just upgrade it right away?"

"That's not possible due to the procedure. Level 500 is the minimum requirement."

Feeling like the administrator was considering something, Sung JiHan decided to push a little further and asked the owner of the arena.

"But why, whether it's black or white... why are you helping me?"

Of course, it's nice to receive help, but there's no such thing as an unfounded favor in the world.

Especially when the one considering the circumstances is an administrator, it felt suspicious even if he was being treated well.

"Well..."

The owner of the arena hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"...I can tell you since the higher-ups said it's okay. The administrator has been tracking the missing red administrator for a long time."

"The red administrator?"

"Yes. He, who should have retired after his term ended, did not give up his position as an administrator."

Sung JiHan sighed.

As the owner of the arena extended his palm, a model of the Earth floated above his hand.

"And his traces were found on planet Earth. At first, the administrator tried to intervene directly here, but due to circumstances unknown to me, we had no choice but to take an indirect approach."

"If it's an indirect approach..."

"It was to give power to Gilgamesh, who was playing the role of an experiment for the enemy tribe."

Seeing Gilgamesh's face appearing on the model of the Earth, Sung JiHan recalled a story the owner of the arena had told before.

- He is a betrayer who abandoned the mission of the Void. His original sin, NO.4212, must be paid by all of humanity.

- After completing the mission, he should have enjoyed the given lifespan and died. But he didn't die.

- That's betrayal.

Gilgamesh, who had subjugated the enemy tribe, lived an eternal life without dying.

From the perspective of the Void, was that betrayal?

"The power given to Gilgamesh was a special ability granted by the administrators specifically to eliminate the red administrator. This ability was supposed to be returned, but Gilgamesh concealed it while living eternally. And..."

The shapes of the Earth and Gilgamesh disappeared.

This time, the figure of a giant deity appeared.

"We believe that some of this power was given to the wandering deity. It's still under investigation, but we suspect that it is also related to the red administrator."

"Hmm... but what does that have to do with helping me?"

"The only person that the administrator can observe is you, the only one in all of humanity."

"...What does that mean?"

"It means exactly what it says."

The owner of the arena formed his face and took on a cosmic shape.

He pulled it from side to side.

And then...

Paaaah!

In an instant, the cosmic shape expanded to encompass the entire Void Training Ground.

"An infinitely vast universe. Within it, the administrator manages countless Battle.net races. Yes, it would be correct to say that it is infinite."

"..."

"Even for the administrator, it is impossible to manage all of them. Therefore, a classification of observation targets was established. The lowest-ranking race, which accounts for 95% of the Battle.net races, is not observed at all. The lower-ranking race, which accounts for 4%, is only observed by very special individuals, with limited observation."

The lowest-ranking race is not observed at all.

And it seems that only cases like Sung JiHan are observed for the lower-ranking race.

If humanity hadn't evolved this time, the administrator's attention wouldn't have come to Sung JiHan.

"But the green administrator keeps entering the chat window without any attempt."

"That's because he is a temporary administrator. The classification of observation that I mentioned only applies to the black and white administrators."

Administrators with terms and administrators without terms.

Indeed, there is a clear difference between the two.

"Anyway, black and white."

"Hmm. I would prefer if you talked about black first."

"...Yes. The black and white administrators are here to assist in observation."

"That's correct. Sung JiHan, you can be considered the only gateway through which the administrator can directly see this world. And the results of the observation. This world, and the gods, were very much out of alignment."

"Out of alignment?"

"Yes. Very, much..."

The owner of the arena blurred the end of his words and changed the subject.

"For that reason, the administrator is supporting you, Sung JiHan, so please make the most of it."

"...I understand."

"The Void Training Ground has also been upgraded to the maximum within its limits. Now, the rate of time flow has changed to 100 days on Earth for every 1 day. However, in order to expand the ratio, the time axis is now fixed."

"So you can't increase or decrease the ratio?"

"That's correct."

Even if you spend 100 days in the Void Training Ground, only one day will pass on Earth.

Although you can't adjust the time ratio, since it will continue to be 100 days once it reaches the maximum.

It's a good direction for an upgrade.

"I have to finish the contamination of the Reverse Heaven and Earth Blood here."

The Reverse Heaven and Earth Blood that was given to overcome before entering the Gugung Palace.

After realizing how to operate the Taegeuk Sword through the meeting with Asoka, I had a sense of how to solve it.

But until I can control it perfectly, I decided to stay in the training ground.

Meanwhile...

Sssss...

The cosmic background that filled the Void Training Ground returned under the control of the central pillar.

"Well then, I will be going now. The Special Arena will be held in a week, so please accept the invitation then."

As the owner of the arena was about to leave, Sung JiHan grabbed him and asked a question.

"Oh, wait. If I turn on BattleTube here, will it be broadcasted?"

"BattleTube... This place is a restricted area for broadcasting. Especially the upgraded Void Training Ground like this is located deep inside the Void. Access to BattleTube is completely blocked."

"Even with the Eye of Light?"

"If you mean the Eye of Light... Ah, you're talking about what the white administrator gave you. In that case... it will be visible. By adjusting the distorted flow of time, it can be accelerated to a hundred times the speed."

A training broadcast that accelerates a hundred times.

"The real-time viewership has dropped, so the star buff must have been cut because of that."

There was no need to show the training scenes externally.

Sung JiHan decided to test if the broadcast was working well here.

"Then let's just do a test broadcast."

"Yes. Please feel free to do so. Then, I will see you in the arena in a week..."

Sigh...

The figure of the arena owner disappeared.

"Let's just check if it becomes the Eye of Light and turn it off."

Sung JiHan immediately turned on the Battle Tube.

***

"Hello, everyone. Today is a test broadcast."

In the darkness with nothing.

Sung JiHan turned on the Battle Tube.

"This is the empty training ground where the Battle Tube is blocked. I turned it on to see if the Eye of Light is working properly."

Considering the time axis adjustment, Sung JiHan spoke slowly, but...

-What is this...

-Broadcast accident?

-I don't know what he's saying;

-There's a fixed option for 100x speed, what is this lol

-Can't this be slower?

-It seems like it doesn't work during the live broadcast dd

No matter how slowly he spoke, the video speed became 100x, so ordinary people couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

However...

-...What is this?

-It's a fixed 100x speed?

-So this is the empty training ground

-Did this really exist? I thought it was just a rumor...

-It's surprising that it's being broadcasted. Is this the power of the Eye of Light?

-Wait, were the administrators really turning a blind eye to this? What is this guy saying?

Unlike the human viewers who couldn't understand his words, the extraterrestrial beings caught on.

-Is the reason for the strong subjugation of the lower races here?

-Well, even if you look at it, the time spent is nothing compared to the time the long-lived races have enjoyed.

-If you train for a long time, dragons should dominate the universe.

-?? What are you talking about? Dragons are already dominating the universe.

-A lizard just popped out lol Those guys who always bother the elves.

-What? What race are you, you bastard? Give me your coordinates right now.

-Are you going to get beaten up by the elves again and vent your anger in a tough place?

"These guys are at it again."

Sung JiHan looked at the fighting chat window with familiar eyes as usual.

Perhaps because various races were gathered, the extraterrestrial races always wanted to fight for no reason.

At that moment.

[The 'Star' buff is activated.]

A system message popped up.

"The Eye of Light definitely has an effect."

Then the test is over.

Sung JiHan nodded as he saw that the Star buff had been activated.

"The video seems to be broadcasting well. Then, I will end it here for today."

-What? Is it over?

-No, I have to show you more of the Void Training Ground! Wasn't that the introduction content?

-Hey, it's 100 times speed, so it'll be over soon! We're not going to monetize this video, right?

-It's okay if we don't monetize it. There's nothing to show here in the first place.

*Sigh*

Sung JiHan looked around the Void Training Ground.

The space of the training ground was just dark, perhaps because the map settings hadn't been done yet.

He could have changed the settings to the map he had played before.

"But I'm past the stage of creating content for channel growth like before, so I won't do it."

Since the appearance of the administrator, Sung JiHan's channel had gained a lot of attention.

He didn't want to make a review video of the Void Training Ground to further grow his channel.

And the growth of Star Buff had also been blocked.

"I have to unlock the Celestial Fusion."

There was something he had to do now.

"Well then, see you next time."

*Bing*

After ending the broadcast, Sung JiHan immediately started training.

"First, let's do the bloodletting."

Thump! Thump!

After using self Celestial Fusion, he felt the seal on his soul and carefully examined it.

"Celestial Fusion... It's definitely related to the first stage of the Taegeuk Sword."

Thanks to Ashoka's training with the Golden Wheel, Sung JiHan had become familiar with the first stage of wielding the Taegeuk.

Based on that experience, he continued to practice Celestial Fusion.

"Since I have 100 days of time each day, I'll finish it quickly."

At first, Sung JiHan thought optimistically.

"Oh... There are hidden tricks here?"

"No, I'm stuck here?"

"...Celestial Fusion. What did they put in here?"

But when he actually tried it, the experience of the first stage of the Taegeuk Sword didn't help much with the Celestial Fusion.

The more he trained, the more he noticed his shortcomings.

"I wanted to finish quickly and visit the Gugung Palace before the special arena invitation arrives in a week..."

The special arena invitation that was scheduled to arrive in a week.

Since it would take 700 days in training ground time, he wanted to finish quickly and visit the Gugung Palace in the West Sea.

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

After 100 days passed, Sung JiHan forced a bitter smile.

The Celestial Fusion that didn't seem to be resolved.

Holding onto it, he suddenly remembered when Ashoka had pointed out that his talent was ambiguous.

Indeed, it was difficult to keep up with the level of the Eastern Sword Sect.

"Well, I guess I'll have to push it with time..."

Sung JiHan continued to tackle the Celestial Fusion in the Void Training Ground.

And countless hours passed.

"...Finally, it's done."

When he finally completely overcame the Celestial Fusion.

[An invitation to the arena has arrived.]

In reality, it was only a week's time.

But in the Void Training Ground, a message arrived indicating that 700 days had passed.
