Sung Jin-Woo’s Strength Pre-Jeju Island

His Power-Ups Before the Clash with the Ant King

Before the fourth raid on Jeju Island, Sung Jin-Woo had amassed a significant amount of power that allowed him to face a formidable hunter like Goto Ryuji. Notably, Baek Yoon-Ho from the White Tiger Guild recognized how different Jin-Woo had become since their last encounter. Indeed, Jin-Woo’s sparring match with Goto Ryuji validated Baek Yoon-Ho’s observations, as Korea’s newly promoted S-rank hunter left Japan’s strongest hunter, Goto Ryuji, in awe with his formidable strength.

Without the knowledge of the top hunters, Jin-Woo surpasses greater levels following his victory against the White Flames’ Monarch clone. This advancement gives him additional stat points to boost his powers even more. Furthermore, he gains a new shadow called Kaisel, obtains the S-rank weapon Demon King’s Longsword, and unlocks the job skill for shadow exchange, which functions as a teleportation power. Additionally, he acquires the Elixir of Life, a precious artifact capable of healing any illness. Crucially, Jin-Woo is now relieved from the strain caused by his mother’s ailment.

“I’d forgotten. The weak always get taken from. That’s how it works here.”—Sung Jin-Woo

Currently, Sung Jin-Woo’s power far outshines that of an S-rank hunter like himself. Even Goto Ryuji finds it necessary to use all his strength against Jin-Woo to prevent adding to the humiliation during their battle, yet it proves ineffective. Essentially, Jin-Woo has evolved into South Korea’s most powerful hunter, surpassing both Choi Jong-In (the Ultimate Weapon) and Baek Yoon-Ho (a member of the White Tiger Guild).

So, How Much Stronger Is Jin-Woo Post Jeju Island?

The Man of the Hour

Sung Jin-Woo’s remarkable victory on Jeju Island has earned him recognition alongside top hunters such as Liu Zhigang from China and Thomas Andre from the United States. Yet, it’s not unreasonable to speculate that his abilities surpass even these national-level hunters, considering his exceptional display in a one-on-one battle against the Ant King. This is because attaining national-level status involves an extraordinary feat – successfully clearing at least one S-rank gate.

Despite not yet holding an official title, Jin-Woo is widely regarded as a top-tier hunter by many around the globe. His power-ups from Jeju Island have sparked global interest in his adventures, potentially catapulting him into stardom. While Jin-Woo himself isn’t concerned about fame, his increasing renown is helping Korea reaffirm its position as a country with formidable hunters once more.

Jin-Woo’s Essential Power-Ups

It seems that the most significant boost Sung Jin-Woo gained from his raid was none other than Beru, his first general-grade shadow. Beru’s prodigious strength, capacity to converse in human language, intelligence, and healing capabilities make him an exceptional asset in Jin-Woo’s forces. With just one command, Beru can complete tasks flawlessly, fight for Jin-Woo, and even contribute to decision-making when necessary.

Most significantly, Jin-Woo moves nearer to his optimal physical state, serving as Ashborn’s human container. Once he reaches level 100, the system calls him back to the double dungeon, understanding that Jin-Woo’s personal attributes can now accommodate the Shadow Monarch’s abilities. This also signals that Jin-Woo is now prepared for a direct confrontation with the system’s creator.

“If I don’t kill, I will be killed. I can’t run away anymore.”—Sung Jin-Woo

In essence, following the events on Jeju Island, Sung Jin-Woo stands apart from Korea’s elite hunters in terms of skill and power. From now on, his primary challenges likely stem from supernatural beings and high-level national hunters. As the narrative unfolds in Solo Leveling, Jin-Woo’s rise to the pinnacle of strength escalates, positioning him as a being who could potentially alter the world’s direction and the destiny of humanity.
