This never ends, ey?
Before I go into the abilities addition, I have to first say something.
Here are the reasons why I think we should mix them:
1. Nothing is contradicted, everything that happened in the novel also happened in the manhwa, but the novel instead gives a better description of the feats, or an actual description instead of just showing it.
2. The novel explains everything. Like what the skill does, and actually makes the manhwa make more sense. For example, in a fight against the Chaos Demon, Jin was able to dodge every attack, to the point that no one knew how, and it was apparently due to a skill. The manhwa doesn't explain the skill, only gives us its name and shows us its effects, due to the fact if it did explain all the skills, among other things, the manhwa would be probably end at around 500 chapters or so. But still, the effects clearly align with the novel's description of said skill.
3. The manhwa uses terms that aren't explained, but the novel explains it. Even gives us the size of the stuff he destroyed.
I believe there are more reasons on why we should mix them, but I believe this is more than enough. Now, I bet you are wondering, if the novel has everything the manhwa has, why not just use the novel version?
That's because the novel is only translated, atm, up to 54 chapters, which are around 30-40~ chapters of the manhwa, while the manhwa has been translated up to 110 chapters. Once the novel has been fully translated, I'm pretty sure we will just discard the manhwa version.
Now, onto the abilities:
Enhanced Sensing/Clairvoyance (Able to sense the buzzing of bees and the rustlings of leaves dozens of miles away. Not only that, but with All-Encompassing Cognizance,
he was so sensitive to his environment that no change, no matter how small, could escape his notice, as if the entire space around him had become his absolute dominion. In addition, he was able to sense the presence of a master of stealth, despite others not being able to)
Precognition (Was able to foresee when Ha-Seol will come to eat, and was able to know when Hwang will arrive, albeit it is Non-Combat Applicable)
Resistance to sensing (Is unable to have his true strength sensed by anyone, due to the fact he had the opposite of a chi, a Shadow Chi, which makes it seem like he lacks any fighting power)
Resistance to Information Analysis/Analytic Prediction (Was noted multiple time to be completely unpredictable, with even martial art masters and experts unable to know his next move)
Possibly/Likely Reactive Power Level (Was stated that his movements became smoother and became more experienced as he kept on fighting)
Resistance to Attack Reflection (Was able to bypass Tae Mu-Kang's reflux, which can return attacks with several times more force)
Shadow Chi/Chi Manipulation and Energy Projection. Extremely self-explanatory, the entire novel is about using chi and stuff. I can't believe I didn't add it to his profile before.
Aura, also self-explanatory. Everyone and their mother has aura.
Limited Resistance to Fear Manipulation? (Was able to fight against Tae Mu-Kang without feeling fear, despite his enormous killing intent which can slow down people, and caused other trained martial art experts and swordsman being extremely afraid of him, to the point that their senses screamed at them to run away)
Albeit, they did eventually break out of it and fought him. Other people pissed themselves in fear, though.
Resistance to Cold Temperatures (Unbothered by training in a harsh, snowy environment, even taking a walk without a shirt despite it heavily snowing)
Resistance to Poison Manipulation (Everyone with Chi is able to weaken the effects of poison, depending on its severity. Has also managed to be submerged in a cloud of poison completely unharmed)
Resistance to Absorption/Chi Absorption? (His Chi did not get absorbed or analyzed by Tae Mu-Kang, whom can devour his opponents Chi, digest it, analyze it, and automatically transforms it into an energy that perfectly countered his opponents)
Acrobatics (Was able to leap hundreds of meters into the air, and move as well)
Pain Immunity negation...? I honestly have no idea what to call it (Jin was able to make Tae Mu-Kang feel pain, despite never feeling pain ever in his life, even after he got multiple of his bones broken, and limbs turned, he still couldn't feel pain until he fought again Jin)
Basically, the skill feats in LOTNB are ridiculous.
Most martial artists train at around the age of six-seven years old.
Mu-Sang, a guard dude with talent, has mastered a martial art that was deemed not strong, and got his ass handed to him after he fought against another expert martial artist, to the point that Mu-Sang couldn't even touch the seams of clothes of that martial artist.
But after ridiculous training, and concentration in only a month or two, he was able to HEAVILY IMPROVE his martial arts. So much so that he predicted he can go toe-to-toe with the martial artist who whooped his ass, despite not even comparing to him before.
Another skill feat is about Dam. He has so defeated 100 martial art users, and a lot of martial art masters, despite being only 18, and he only could've actually started training seriously at around 11-12 years old. He was considered a prodigy even by skilled people, being able to master new martial arts at an extremely short timeframe.
And he got his ass WHOOPED by Tae Mu-Kang.
Jin should be above all of them, due to the fact he was much better than both of them when fighting Tae, and he became ridiculously more skilled after his 7 years time-skip.
Aaaand that should be it.
Before I go into the abilities addition, I have to first say something.
Mixing both novel and Manhwa
First thing first, I wanna mix both the novel and manhwa, due to the fact that Manhwa showed is a faithful adaptation of the novel, and just simply shows the feats in a better way.Here are the reasons why I think we should mix them:
1. Nothing is contradicted, everything that happened in the novel also happened in the manhwa, but the novel instead gives a better description of the feats, or an actual description instead of just showing it.
2. The novel explains everything. Like what the skill does, and actually makes the manhwa make more sense. For example, in a fight against the Chaos Demon, Jin was able to dodge every attack, to the point that no one knew how, and it was apparently due to a skill. The manhwa doesn't explain the skill, only gives us its name and shows us its effects, due to the fact if it did explain all the skills, among other things, the manhwa would be probably end at around 500 chapters or so. But still, the effects clearly align with the novel's description of said skill.
3. The manhwa uses terms that aren't explained, but the novel explains it. Even gives us the size of the stuff he destroyed.

Now, onto the abilities:
Abilities
Enhanced Analytic Prediction/Information Analysis (Was able to gain an enhanced version of “Perception”, which is able to perceive an opponents next move by simply seeing their gaze and twitching of their muscles. Due to it, he was able to predict all of the attacks of an extremely talented and skill martial master, despite being inferior in speed and strength, to the point that a single attack would kill him)Enhanced Sensing/Clairvoyance (Able to sense the buzzing of bees and the rustlings of leaves dozens of miles away. Not only that, but with All-Encompassing Cognizance,
he was so sensitive to his environment that no change, no matter how small, could escape his notice, as if the entire space around him had become his absolute dominion. In addition, he was able to sense the presence of a master of stealth, despite others not being able to)

Intelligence/Skill feats
A small revision for skills, nothing much.Basically, the skill feats in LOTNB are ridiculous.
Most martial artists train at around the age of six-seven years old.
Mu-Sang, a guard dude with talent, has mastered a martial art that was deemed not strong, and got his ass handed to him after he fought against another expert martial artist, to the point that Mu-Sang couldn't even touch the seams of clothes of that martial artist.
But after ridiculous training, and concentration in only a month or two, he was able to HEAVILY IMPROVE his martial arts. So much so that he predicted he can go toe-to-toe with the martial artist who whooped his ass, despite not even comparing to him before.

And he got his ass WHOOPED by Tae Mu-Kang.
