Chapter 166: 166
Natures weren't fair . Everyone knew this .
Nonetheless, most Natures shared one common thing . If the Nature was limited, then it was more powerful under a certain condition if the limit was met . For example, between a Nature that allowed one to 'see far' and a Nature that allowed one to 'use something to see far', the latter would obviously grant a better result .
However, there were Natures that didn't perform even when the conditions were met .
Disoriented Fist, as the name suggested, strengthened fist attacks . Jaehoon was able to survive the early stages of illumination because of this talent . But this was only in the early stages . The Nature had limited timeframe of one hour . If the user made the same attack move within one hour, there was a penalty, and then a bonus to the damage . It was nonsense . The use of the skill and the repeated movement was a must during the progress of the illumination .
"It was a curse to me . "
Blass also had 'Disoriented Fist' as his Nature when he had his body . Since he had trained martial arts for a long time, he knew the talent he got was utter nonsense . Martial arts specialized in doing the 'same move' again and again .
"One move, and I will be locked away from using it during the next hour . It was a weakness . I had to find a way around it . "
That's why Blass tried to learn a skill by using mana to increase his power . However, he was talented in martial arts . Although his new method brought him victories, he couldn't shake off the feeling that he was wasting his skills .
That's why he created a new skill that would not get in the way of his Nature .
"I decided to create a martial art that was characterized by its different movements . "
It was certain that Blass had learned his final unusual moves from that study . He succeeded in doing it . But…
"It was ironic . "
When he finished it, he did not have his Nature anymore . He was in his metal body .
"Without the Nature to back it up, Parksrima is just very difficult skills . "
It was a superior martial art, but it required a user who was talented in fist skills . Therefore, Blass decided to give up . Someone with the same Nature as him could only learn this .
He finally found the man .
Han Jaehoon . He had the same talent .
Jaehoon seemed anxious . After a hundred days of testing, it was finally time .
-Strength: 1000(+16)(A)
-Stamina: 1000(+21)(A)
-Agility 1000(+82)(A)
After he became a citizen, the amount of coins he was provided was more than what anyone else got in Dohyuk's city . His stats were now equal to Dohyuk's . Jaehoon thought he didn't deserve it so he rejected the offer, but he had to accept it in the end .
"Relax . " Dohyuk tried to help him calm down . "100 days isn't that long . Even if you underperform, we'll give it time . It's me and that guy who believe in you . "

"See? He also says the same thing . "
Blass also spoke to Jaehoon . It seemed like Blass was more kind toward Jaehoon than anyone else .
"…Then . "
Jaehoon readied his fist and Dohyuk nodded . Jaehoon charged . Dohyuk kicked Jaehoon, but Jaehoon cleanly dodged it . It didn't end there . He brought his body back up and pushed out Dohyuk's body, throwing him into the sky . It wasn't high, but it was good enough for Jaehoon to throw his fist to the front . Jaehoon, however, did not attack from the front . He disappeared from Dohyuk's eyes .
Dohyuk realized where Jaehoon was coming from and crouched to defend . The powerful blow came from below . Dohyuk's body was thrown into the sky again, much higher this time .
'It was like this before too,' Dohyuk thought as he felt his arm bone breaking after blocking the blow . This absurd amount of damage was what made Dohyuk think Jaehoon was strong . Of course, the amount of damage after that got weaker and weaker, so Dohyuk figured there was something behind it then .
'Using this power-up forever…?'
It wasn't only arm bone that was broken . Dohyuk sighed at his ribcage that was also cracked . Jaehoon was preparing to hit again from below .
As Dohyuk fell down, he spun to strike Jaehoon down from the sky . And as the feet hit him, Jaehoon barely moved his body to dodge the attack with his fist at the ready .
'THERE!'

Jaehoon threw his punch, but it was the foot that struck his back first .
Jaehoon slammed against the wall and fell onto the ground .
"…Ugh . "
He was confused . How did Dohyuk bring his feet back to kick again?
'N-no…'
He didn't change the direction at all . Dohyuk didn't miss . He knew Jaehoon was going to dodge and kicked in the direction . But…
"You're wondering how he knew you were going to dodge?"
Jaehoon looked up . Blass was standing in front of him .
"I'm sure you're curious of that . If you didn't dodge, that would've been a bad attempt from the Mayor . "
Blass continued, "It's simple . You gave that one out . "

"What?"
"When you first dodged his kick for the first time . "
Dohyuk didn't expect it to happen .
"You had many choices then . Charge in and pound him or something… but you made a more conservative choice . "
He pushed Dohyuk's leg away to break his balance and attack . It wasn't a bad choice, but the decision he made next was poor .
"You were against an enemy who was unbalanced, but changed directions to attack . It was probably good if you were trying to get around the guard, but it wasn't . "
"You didn't need to do that, but you pushed him into the air . And you didn't follow him and waited below . "
That gave Dohyuk time to breathe .
"You probably overestimated your enemy, feared, and avoided fighting in frontal combat . You had the upper hand, but instead of taking the chance, you took a backstep to gain absolute victory . "
"I… see…" Jaehoon nodded . What Blass said was true .
"But don't worry . "
Blass brought Jaehoon up and tapped his shoulder . This was more than he expected . Blass never expected Jaehoon to defeat Dohyuk . But Jaehoon's first exchange with Dohyuk was quite an achievement .
Dohyuk smiled as he also walked over .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
