Chapter 129
Chapter 129.
'You've identified one of the races?'
Could he be talking about the Beautiful Monkey Tribe?
When Lee Ganghan harbored doubts.
-Holy shit, Beautiful Monkey Tribe name appeared in the league ㄷㄷ
-They're 5th place in Reserve League?? ㅋㅋ
-What the hell, Son Goku was so strong but their ranking was lower than Orcs?
-Wow then Gershu was actually stronger??? ㄷㄷㄷ
-Rankings probably aren't determined solely by Transcendent strength
-That's not the problem right now, Heavenly Demon is going to become a monkey!!!
The chat window informed that the Beautiful Monkey Tribe's league ranking was 5th place.
But.
"Beautiful Monkey Tribe instead of Beastman Tribe? What happened to Red Eyebrow last time?"
"Red Eyebrow...? Ah, that fox? That guy was just born ordinary so he couldn't become a perfect Beautiful Monkey Tribe member, but he still belongs to the Beautiful Monkey Tribe. Plus, that guy has excellent talent, so he has the possibility of becoming a complete Beautiful Monkey Tribe member."
"A fox has the possibility of becoming a monkey?"
"That's right. He has limbs intact and walks around just fine."
-???
-But they look completely different ㅡㅡ
-According to what he said, I'm also 99% identical to male celebrities since I have eyes, nose, mouth, and limbs lol
-That's surprisingly genetically correct...
-With a 0.1% difference, someone becomes a celebrity and someone becomes a total loser...?
Even if the Beastman Tribe is divided into various animal types over there.
In the end, they're all lumped together as Beautiful Monkey Tribe?
"...But what's with this hair?"
"Humans are originally an absurdly weak race compared to the Beautiful Monkey Tribe. But my hair will evolve you into a great Beautiful Monkey Tribe member."
"No way... really? I'm going to become a monkey?"
"That's right. You'll become the 'monkey bastard' you loved so much."
How many times is he going to mention monkey bastard.
Son Goku is surprisingly petty.
Swish.
Lee Ganghan thought so and tried to remove the hair that Son Goku had implanted, but.
"Kugh..."
This hair wasn't implanted in the scalp.
It was deeper inside, embedded all the way to the skull.
Even with considerable force, it showed no intention of coming out.
And if he pulled with full strength, it seemed like part of his skull would be torn off.
'...Should I try it trusting in Divine Power regeneration?'
To Lee Ganghan, who was contemplating whether to risk having part of his skull torn off to pull out the hair.
Son Goku chuckled and said.
"It's useless to pull or cut it, it'll just grow back anyway."
"It grows back...?"
"That's right. If you don't believe it, try it once."
"No, I don't need this, can't you take it back?"
"Hoot. You say that now, but you'll thank me later."
Even though Lee Ganghan said he didn't need it.
Son Goku didn't listen at all.
He went even further.
"Later, when you become a perfect Beautiful Monkey Tribe member, I'll specially grant you the surname Son. Yes... taking from one of those names you mentioned earlier, how about Son Samjang?"
"...You sound like Son Samjang."
"Then Son Palgye? Son Ojeong? Son Ojeong has a better ring to it."
He was even giving names in preparation for when Lee Ganghan became a Beautiful Monkey Tribe member.
-He's going crazy naming and all damn;
-I can feel the determination to somehow make Heavenly Demon into a monkey...
-Why does Son Goku like Heavenly Demon so much ㅠㅠ
-From what I see, calling him a peerless genius really hit the spot yep;
-A promising prospect who's also good at flattery? I have to take him with me ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Ah.
Peerless genius.
I just said what appeared in the system.
Did that please him so much?
When Lee Ganghan regretted not saying that.
"Hey, go already, if you delay any more time you won't be able to set a new record."
Swish.
Son Goku urged him to quickly enter the portal.
The current record holder encouraging a player who would break his record.
"Right."
No matter how much more I talk, he doesn't seem like he'll remove the hair.
After all that struggle today, I should at least claim the achievement first.
As Lee Ganghan ran toward the portal.
"Then until the time of destruction, live without reckless actions, Son Ojeong."
Son Goku from behind.
Already called Lee Ganghan by the name 'Son Ojeong'.
-Is Son Ojeong confirmed now ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-He said he'd grant the surname Son when you become a perfect Beautiful Monkey Tribe member, but why is he so impatient...
-Gershu is eyeing him and Son Goku is trying to make him a monkey... At this rate, won't other races also covet Heavenly Demon?
-It seems they highly value his possession of Divine Power
-Right now nobody cares about the B-grade achievement reward ㅋㅋㅋ
If they knew about the recruitment offer from Golden Fragrance, there would be another uproar.
Lee Ganghan thought so.
'Ah. Come to think of it, what was the B-grade achievement reward...?'
Lee Ganghan checked the achievement reward message just before entering the portal.
[By clearing a difficulty B achievement, humanity players' experience gain is increased.]
'A bland reward.'
Experience gain increases.
This was a particularly useless reward for Lee Ganghan.
He always leveled up early anyway and quickly reached Max.
'Still, when level becomes Max, the experience gained converts to score, so there would be a score increase effect.'
Still, today's achievement rewards were all bland.
C-grade achievements didn't even appear in announcements.
B-grade appeared in announcements, but the effect was merely increased experience gain.
'I'll need to break Son Goku's record to get something meaningful.'
With Heracles it was an S-grade achievement.
This time I should be able to achieve at least similar, or even higher grade achievement, right?
Lee Ganghan thought so as he entered the 202nd floor.
***
Entering the 202nd floor through the portal.
The scenery here was similar to the regular floors.
That he had traversed countless times so far.
-Oh it's not marble this time
-Phew... We can watch comfortably now
-Even when meeting Hild, everyone was happy when marble appeared...
-Ah no more Transcendents please;
Viewers relieved by the appearance similar to regular floors.
People who were delighted just watching Elves.
After seeing the battle with the monster called Son Goku, no longer welcomed marble terrain.
Of course, that didn't make the 202nd floor look easy.
'The monsters definitely seem stronger than below.'
Is it because this is a floor you can only reach by discovering a special route?
The monster types were similar to those encountered on lower floors, but.
Enemies with bodies that had grown more than twice as large, emanating much more intense aura.
-Why did the monsters here grow so much in size?
-They're twice the size of lower floors ㄷㄷ
-Still, they're just mobs, won't they be easily swept away?
-It's not just that their size increased, their equipment level improved too, they just seem like much stronger versions
-Doesn't look easy to get a free pass like before...
-Still, seeing these after Son Goku feels like angels yep;
Viewers initially showed wariness while watching the enhanced monsters, thinking 'what if'.
'Let me quickly sweep them away and go.'
Seeing monsters whose presence was extremely insignificant compared to Son Goku.
Swish.
Lee Ganghan lightly opened his palm.
Heavenly Demon Divine Palm
Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm
Then.
A blood-red light beam extending from his hand.
However.
Compared to the Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm he usually used.
The red light kept growing.
Paaaaaat...!
Before long, Lee Ganghan's front was completely engulfed by red light.
-??? What is this?
-Wasn't this palm wind just a single line laser?
-Something as big as Ruyi Staff came out earlier...?
-Is it because he used Heavenly Demon Divine Art ㄷㄷ
When viewers were surprised seeing Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm completely covering the 202nd floor.
Swish.
Lee Ganghan annihilated all enemies in front and.
Looked at his palm.
'I tried applying the force compression and release that I learned from Son Goku's movements, specifically the release part to Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm... The effect is better than I thought.'
What I learned from 'Passionate Dullard' is really useful.
The energy that surged when activating Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
Until now, I thought I was using it well, but after analyzing it following the battle with Son Goku.
Lee Ganghan realized he hadn't properly used even half of this power.
'I seem to have learned the fundamentals of martial arts from Son Goku while getting beaten, through Passionate Dullard.'
Though the actual time spent fighting was short.
Thanks to 'Passionate Dullard', Lee Ganghan thought he had made quite significant progress.
However,
'My skill in handling martial arts improved, but Heavenly Demon Divine Art remained the same.'
Last time inside the Heavenly Demon Sacred Blood Formation, Heavenly Demon Divine Art rose by 2 stars just from looking at stars.
But now, when martial arts fundamentals had noticeably improved.
Heavenly Demon Divine Art didn't particularly upgrade.
Plus, I even implemented Third Sword Soul Severing of Heavenly Demon Divine Sword.
But nothing upgraded in skills.
'Let me go for now.'
Swish.
Lee Ganghan sprinted through the cleanly swept front.
Though the distance to the portal was much farther compared to the 100s floors.
Swoosh!
With Lee Ganghan's speed while using Heavenly Demon Divine Art being much faster.
The speed of climbing floor by floor was actually shortened compared to the 100s floors.
-Finally comfortable to watch ㅋㅋㅋ
-Hmm but it might be a bit boring with mobs just getting swept away...?
-Hey stop stop, we can't have marble appearing here again;
-Really let's watch comfortably now please
-How great is laser massacre ㅋㅋㅋ
Though it was a short moment in terms of time.
The battle with Son Goku had great impact.
Viewers now hoped that no more strong enemies would appear.
And they could finish comfortably.
And.
'It doesn't seem like any more different races will appear.'
The tower climbing that proceeded from the 202nd floor.
Progressed very peacefully.
Paaaaaat...!
Shooting Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm as soon as he entered.
Swoosh!
Lee Ganghan sprinting straight ahead.
-What floor are we on now?
-238th floor
-I went to the bathroom and came back but it seems like the same scene keeps repeating ㅋㅋㅋ
-I don't even know what mobs appeared now
-Because he sweeps them all away with laser before enemies even appear ㅋㅋㅋ
People, unlike during the 201st floor.
Watched the tower climbing with very comfortable minds.
Proceeding like this and reaching the 250th floor.
[This is the final floor of Bronze Tower No.2 'Tower of Infinity'.]
A message appeared saying the 250th floor was the last in Bronze.
'The climbing itself is easy.'
If not for Son Goku, it would have been easier than Iron.
When Lee Ganghan thought so seeing the completion message.
[Notice: The record achiever of Bronze Tower No.2 'Tower of Infinity' changes from 'Son Goku' to 'Lee Ganghan'.]
In a global announcement.
A message appeared saying the record achiever changed from Son Goku to Lee Ganghan.
Along with that.
[Notice: Player 'Lee Ganghan' has achieved an SS-grade achievement.]
[Achievement: Break the record of 'Tower of Infinity' 2 times consecutively.]
'Oh. SS-grade.'
Same SS-grade achievement as when I subdued Gershu.
When I set a new record once, it was S-grade.
Surely the grade went up because I conquered Tower of Infinity records 2 times consecutively.
'Now if I receive the remaining rewards, it'll be a reward harvest.'
Definitely gained a lot from Tower of Infinity.
Today especially, meeting Son Goku and gaining from him was considerable.
Not only did martial arts fundamentals improve.
I also consumed the SS+ grade Peach of Immortality.
However,
'This hair is troublesome to deal with.'
The hair Son Goku implanted telling me to become a Beautiful Monkey Tribe member.
That hair, which was already thick when implanted.
Had grown even bigger while climbing the tower, so from a distance it looked like a small horn rather than hair.
'I decline becoming a Beautiful Monkey Tribe member.'
I like being human.
When Lee Ganghan thought so and tapped Son Goku's hair.
Ttiring, Ttiring.
[Notice: Race 'Humanity' has cleared SS-grade achievement 2 times.]
[Notice: Race 'Humanity' has cleared all SS, S, A, B, C grade achievements.]
[Notice: Humanity's 'Transcendent' can be selected by vote.]
[Notice: The system is selecting Transcendent candidates....]
Global announcement messages for all humanity appeared consecutively.
