Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time

Jeong Yeon-shin sharpened his heightened perception, expanding it in all directions.

The lines drawn by countless weapons touched his skin like icy threads, and the reverse techniques needed to counter them formed blazing patterns in his mind.

The Tenfold Gate Masters' eyes widened.

—Hwoooosh!

Jeong Yeon-shin spun the shaft of the Fang-Heaven Halberd with one hand, his movement fluid as his waist twisted effortlessly.

The long spear naturally drew a sweeping arc, extending its reach behind him.

—Puuuhk!

A powerful shockwave erupted—the abdomen of one of the Tenfold Gate Masters, who had been charging from behind, was impaled through.

A deep trench was carved into the ground, tearing through the earth in the aftermath of his advance.@@novelbin@@

The halberd pierced clean through his back, and semi-transparent wind scattered from the ruptured energy within the spear strike.

Jeong Yeon-shin narrowed his brow.

Grandmother Ak could have honed that thrust even sharper.

[That spear strike… It’s mine…?!]

[How…?!]

Releasing the halberd's shaft, Jeong Yeon-shin caught the falling axe from above and immediately hurled it forward.

The moment the axe left his grip, a propulsive shockwave burst forth from his palm, flaring like a colorless blaze.

Then—

—Boom!

The head of the shield-wielding Tenfold Gate Master exploded on impact.

The earth was torn apart, scattering debris like shrapnel, as shattered boulders were flung high into the sky.

[What…?!]

The surviving enemies’ collective intentions converged into shock.

Jeong Yeon-shin gathered Radiance-Wheel Energy at the Yongcheon Acupoint beneath his feet and twisted in place, catching the wind with his entire body.

The formation of the Tenfold Gate Masters was already ruined.

Even the leaders of the Thirteen Heavens of the Unorthodox Ways would have struggled here.

Empty Moon Dance.

This was their final trump card—the technique of their absolute years.

In truth, this was the first time Jeong Yeon-shin had ever been pushed this far since his rebirth.

If he broke this formation, victory would be his.

He would be breaking through the weight of their accumulated years.

—KWAOOOOOOOOM!

He slammed his palm, clad in Hwan-gang, against an incoming Segmented Whip.

Simultaneously, he activated Weighed Force Manipulation.

The force embedded in Hwan-gang was transmitted through the whip—all the way into his opponent’s grip.
