Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Ssam-Su Taekkyeon
It is a martial art that was developed by Park Il-Tae and is used by his grandson, Il-Pyo. It is a combination of Practical Taekkyon and Renewal Taekwondo to minimize the weaknesses of Taekkyon. Until his fight against Team Seoul, Il-Pyo has never lost.
- Leg Lock (Kor: 딴죽): Used to grab the opponent with hands in Ssam-Su Taekkyeon. Similar function with Hoe-Grab in RE Taekwondo.
- Knee Kick (Kor: 무릎찍기): Was used as preparation move for 'Nirvana' along with Tdan-Juk. Slams the user's knee into the victim's face while holding the opponent with Tdan-Juk in mid-air.
- Inward Trip (Kor: 안낚걸이): Puts the user's leg behind the victim's leg and pulls the victim with it. The victim loses balance and falls. Similar function with Hoe Grab in RE TKD.
- Nirvana (Kor: 열반): The user bashes the opponent's face with the user's knee combined with the user's weight, slamming the target into the floor as their center of gravity is shifted.
- Ssam-Su Bubop (Kor: 쌈수 보법): A skill similar to Mo-Ri's "Way of Walking" technique. It allows for high speed movement similar to the Shunpo technique of the Bleach series.
- Nakyoung (Falling Blossom) (Kor: 낙영): Resembles 3rd Stance Hwechook. Strikes the opponent with a Low Kick, followed by a Medium (Torso) Kick, before finishing with a kick to the head in rapid succession. Used to KO Gwum-Gi.
- Roundhouse Kick and Scythe: The attack starts with a roundhouse kick before catching the opponent's head with his knee joint, leaving the target open to consecutive punches.
- Awareness: It allows the person to read the muscles and other factors of the opponent's body to predict where the next attack will come from. However, it can only be used if both opponents are touching each other and it cannot predict two attacks at the same time.
- Facial Strike: After dodging an attack Il-Pyo knees the opponent in the face.
- Sky Kick: A high kick performed by bringing down the leg upon an opponent. Its true effect was not seen as it was quickly countered by Jin Mo-Ri.
- True Nullifying Spin: A massive amount is concentrated around his leg before he catches his opponent in the middle of an attack, trapping them in a tornado. This technique was designed to counter the Dragon Sign Hwechook technique, and can thus turn wind-based attacks against their owners.
- Fish Hook: After kicking an opponent, Il -Pyo rests his leg on his opponent's shoulder before using it as leverage to position himself above is opponent and wrap his legs around their head to limit their motion.
- Front Reverse Spin: A kick that is performed by stepping backward rather than forward. There are both high and low kick variations. It was used to counter the Front Spin of RE Taekwondo.
- Twin Fire Tornadoes: Twin Blades: After igniting the concentrated air in the surrounding, it catches on fire and the user creates two tornadoes out of it. The user then kicks the tornadoes slightly upwards creating two blades made of flames.
- 3rd Flame Spin: Flame Kick: By adding another spin to the technique of Twin Blades, the next blade of fire is generated to attack. It is then concentrated around the user's foot to attack. It was countered by RE Taekwondo's Ice Kick.
- Fifth Degree Flame Murder: After the air is ignited and flames are created, Park Il-Pyo does another twist and kicks the opponent releasing a shockwave of flames that is capable of obliterating multiple Borrowed Powers, along with damaging the surroundings.
- Final Nirvana Kick: After unleashing all eight other tails Il-Pyo brings his leg up for an axe kick as his hair grows out, erupting in a massive blade of flame as he brings the kick down. It is powerful enough to defeat and kill one of the Crown Princes.
Borrowed Power
- Nine-Tails Guardian: Harnesses the power as one of the Keys, powerful creatures who rebelled against Heaven. In this case, it's the Nine-Tails Guardian, a powerful deity who once served the Jade Emperor after ascending, only to be betrayed out of fear of his power and went on a rampage, destroying all in his wake. This form grants Il-Pyo full access to his powers, giving him incredible pyrokinetic abilities and raising his physical ability to be equal to that of a god.
- Health Generation: It gives the user a small amount of HP upon appearance.
- Physical Enhancement: It greatly enhances all of its user's physical attacks, speed, and overall power.
- Ability Sealing: Being one of the keys it can seal away a god's ability carrying them on a lower plane so they can be hurt. It can also seal away a person's Borrowed Power like what she did to the judges.
- Ability Awakening: Being one of the keys it can awaken the potential within a person to enable them to attack gods, Nephilim and higher, that they couldn't previously hurt. It can also undo the seals it placed on gods.
- Pyrokinesis: It also grants the user the ability to create and manipulate fire at will.
- Blades: Park Il-Pyo gains two large scythe-like blades on his arms that can light things on fire upon slashing them.
- Fox Generation: It also allows the user to summon many nine tailed foxes ranging from them to be big or small made out of fire.
- Fox Rain: An attack where he summons down multiple blades made of flames down on an opponent. It is easily able to cut through a Borrowed Power and cause a blaze.
- Heavenly Fire: It is an attack that uses the blades at his elbows to attack causing a large gash on an opponent.
- Veritable Pandemonium - Hundred Demon March: This is an attack where multiple foxes of various sizes attack an opponent. Upon contact, these foxes burst into flames, severely burning the opponent.
