Chapter 261
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[So the next two vital points after that are a straight cut lol]
The donation came at an exquisite timing, right as his sword cut the vital point.
Sword God recalled the contents of the donation as he saw and cut the first vital point that appeared after that.
‘What? The next one is a straight cut?’
He couldn’t help but remember.
When he checked the position of the second vital point after cutting, it really was a straight cut.
Well, it was slightly tilted.
‘A coincidence?’
Anyone could just throw out a straight cut easily.
Anyway, Sword God was annoyed. He didn’t like this guy.
The way he laughed so obnoxiously, and then disappeared too.
“Looks like you’re lucky. So, you’re Korean?”
He got back to fishing for attention.
Nothing gets as good a reaction as teaching the country of Korea a lesson.
He kept hitting the dummy and tried to communicate.
About a minute later, another donation came.
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[I am Korean though?]
“So that person is your viewer?”
This time, 1 minute and 30 seconds later.
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[No]
The reply came.
A bit frustrating.
“You’re lying. But why are you so slow?”
He didn’t like it. It distracted him while he waited.
Just like when you’re texting a girl you like and she doesn’t reply, your mind gets stuck there and you can’t do anything else.
‘Crazy bastard.’
Was he trying to play mind games with him?
Sword God found an appropriate chat in the chat window and read it out loud.
“Hahaha. You’re saving it because you don’t have much money? That makes sense, friend.”
But.
A minute passed.
A minute and a half passed.
Only after 2 minutes did the reply come.
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[That’s not it]
‘Argh!’
Viewers in the chat were also frustrated and told him to just ban him.
Some viewers threw in more yuan to tell him to ban the donor.
There were also Chinese viewers pretending to be the real Sword Spirit, though you could tell whether they were the same donor or not if you paid attention.
And after 2 minutes, Sword God stopped cutting the dummy’s vital points for a moment and said.
“If you don’t come out, I’m really going to ban you now.”
Right then, a donation came immediately.
A truly crazy bastard.
He was probably giggling to himself, which made Sword God’s blood boil, but he exercised patience.
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[So, can you do it within 300 seconds?]
“I said I can.”
‘You bànzi bastard’ almost slipped out of his mouth.
Bànzi is a derogatory term for Koreans.
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[If you can, are you going to do what you said earlier? Succeed within 300 seconds and tell that Sword Spirit who gave up to try challenging you?]
“Of course. Is there a reason not to? That Korean streamer Sword Spirit is clearly chickened out and trying to avoid it through me, right?”
He threw out a bait.
If the other side gets riled up here, it’s the perfect setup for some proper discipline.
“So, what’s that Korean streamer doing now?”
- He’s region-locked to China
- Is it geo-fencing?
- Seems like geo-fencing. He’s blocking Chinese viewers.
- Wanna try using a VPN to go check?
Travel had a feature where, if you wanted, you could block overseas viewers from specific countries from watching your stream.
Of course, it was easy to get around.
“Forget it, friends. Why go that far just to watch him? I don’t need to know about that stuff.”
More importantly.
“Hey, Sword Spirit viewer friend. As a fellow Korean, you don’t seem chickened out, do you? I’m curious if you also seriously believe all that nonsense Korean kids spout about that person being able to see the future or whatever.”
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[lololololololololol]
What’s this.
He was just a boring guy after all.
Was he giggling creepily by himself again?
“If you’re not going to do more, say so now. If you don’t say anything now, I’ll ban you.”
The answer is to just ignore him.
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[Fine. Conversation over.]
“Tch, what a waste of time. Friends, I was wrong. Alright, let’s just get back to this.”
The roughly 2-meter-tall dummy didn’t move lightly despite its massive body.
You had to push it hard with your foot just to barely get its head to touch the ground before it came back up.
But it wasn’t so heavy that it got pushed and tilted sideways every time you cut it with your sword.
So it required much more attention than just hitting a stationary scarecrow.
The hit scan was the same.
300 seconds.
A time much shorter than the goal he had originally set for today.
Simply cutting 100 times consecutively within 3 seconds, but it was never easy.
Fortunately, he wasn’t prepared for the consecutive vital points that would appear, but his skill was in the heavenly realm, and he could prepare for the dummy’s subsequent movements.
That’s why it was possible. In about 9 hours, anyway.
He thrust and slashed, getting his body accustomed.
He carved it into his subconscious, which held far more possibilities.
‘Kael is mine.’
He couldn’t let it be taken. It was absurd—he had no idea how the pattern was so well predicted—but originally, Kael was his.
If there was a rival, it was Korea’s Baram Geom?
‘These small-country bastards, either him or him, I really don’t like them.’
10 minutes passed like that.
A sensation that felt like he was about to grasp a clue kept flickering.
And it was when that clue expanded further and approached his cognition.
Even so, it was still faint.
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[This time it’s a diagonal cut]
“This bastard hasn’t left? Huh?”
The moment he heard the donation, Sword God got angry and spoke forcefully, then stared straight ahead.
A new vital point, glowing with light, was drawn diagonally.
‘He didn’t say if the left side is up or the right side is up.’
At this point, it was suspicious.
Of course, it was still possible that it was just a guess.
But.
‘No way?’
“Huh. Hehehe.”
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[Panicking?]
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[Conversation is over, now it’s time for some coaching lolololol]
Ordinary trolls you can just block.
But this didn’t seem like that.
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[Hurry up. What are you doing? I’m itching to coach you]
When an unexpected situation occurs, humans find it hard to cope properly.
Stammering, Sword God cut the diagonal vital point, and with perfect timing, another donation rang out right on cue.
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[Point above the shoulder]
Immediately after the donation appeared, a white lump of light materialized above the shoulder, with just a 0.1-second difference.
This.
He’d nailed it.
No.
He’d foreseen it.
- What... is that Korean guy?
- Isn’t this cheating? Korea has been good at cheating since ancient times.
- When did we ever cheat, you mainland bastards lololololololololololololololol
- Now that his identity’s been revealed, time for the streamer to get a taste of his own medicine?
- Let’s go lololololololol
- Korean assemble! lolololololololololololololololololololol
- Ah lolol I’ve been itching so fucking bad to send donations and terrorize the streamer
- Wait. The Korean streamer’s block on Chinese viewers just got lifted. This is a chance to find out what kind of cheating they did. Comrades, let’s check it out.
- The despicable Koreans might have used the broadcast delay difference to do something.
- Cheating my ass, you bastards lolololol this is the streamer
- Just accept it~ it’s easier if you accept it
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[Next is a straight line from the left shoulder]
Sword God cut the next vital points, and every time he cut, a donation predicting the next vital point appeared with precise timing.
It felt like he was possessed by a ghost.
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[You were that curious about my identity, right? I’m not actually a viewer]
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[Who do you think I am? lol]
He got goosebumps.
* * *
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[Who do you think I am? lol]
Seo-jun stopped the barrage of donations and looked at the chat window.
A satisfied smile crept onto his face.
Today’s stream content was a success too.
- Sword Spirit! Sword Spirit! Sword Spirit! Sword Spirit!
- Mom, when I grow up, I want to be the streamer’s keyboard! Mom, when I grow up, I want to be the streamer’s keyboard!
- Crazy bastard lololololololol how many personality plays are you doing lolololololololololololol
- First he delivers the news and gives coaching lololololol then he answers all frustratingly slow, and at the end he’s coaching again lololololololololol is he a madman or what
- Sword God’s expression of total shock is insane lololol
- Chilling fact: The trolls who went to the Chinese channel didn’t tell them that the donor is Seo-jun either lololol
- The streamer even unites the trolls lololololol this guy is a god who makes not just fans but even haters love him
- Ah lolol how could we not cooperate in disciplining the Chinese lololololololololololololololol crazy bastard crazy bastard crazy bastard
[Huh, how?]
“I just watched and did it, you know.”
How itchy the viewers must have been while he was sending the donations.
- For real lolol
- He really just watched carefully and then suddenly started coaching lololololololol
- Wow. The real deal really is different.
- He shows it in less than an hour.
- Oh, it’s you bro~
- Really amazing bastard lololol
- How could he not be confident, he’s just beyond the heavens
Seo-jun quickly typed in the chat.
A donation.
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[Curious how I did it? If you’re curious, pay all the money I donated as a lecture fee and I’ll tell you. If not, then forget it.]
* * *
‘This bànzi bastard.’
At the words to pay the lecture fee, Sword God came to his senses and swallowed the curse inwardly.
The reason he didn’t say it out loud was because he had calmed down a little bit.
‘It’s probably not because he cares about the money. He probably makes a lot too. He just wants to see me suffer the humiliation of paying a lecture fee.’
He’d been toyed with.
Who goes around delivering news about themselves from the very start?
His chat window didn’t explode.
Rather, they were more curious about how it was done, and they just told Sword God to take proper revenge.
“Fine, go ahead and tell me. Let’s see, brothers. How that Korean bastard succeeded.”
He started to count the amount he’d been donated so far, but then stopped.
It was pathetic of him to be adding up stuff like this out of spite.
So he just donated 10,000 yuan. About 2,000,000 won.
There was also an element of flaunting his wealth.
That he, a mid-sized company owner in China, was much better off.
And the other side laughed and said.
Though he read it as subtitles, everyone could tell his voice was full of laughter.
[Thank you. You’ll enter the capsule soon.]
[Ah. Originally, I was going to guide Mr. Sword God, help him succeed before the 9-hour mark, and then show you. Anyway.]
[Giving 2,000,000 yuan must mean you really want to learn, right?]
Whether Sword God’s face turned red or not, Seo-jun paid no mind, entered the top of the league, went up, and headed towards the Order of Light.
Then he clicked on Kael’s sword, entered the training room, and said.
[Alright. This is how you do it.]
From that moment on, Seo-jun began cutting the vital points with such fine control that the dummy in front of him barely moved.
Shwaaaak!
Shwaaaak!
It was fast.
Not even a second.
Vital points appeared and disappeared.
[That’s how you do it. That was an excellent lecture, right?]
A record was set.
Exactly like before.
In just 50 seconds.
#1 – Sword Spirit (Korea) - 50 seconds
#2 – Sword God (China) - 422 seconds
‘This son of a bitch!’
And right after he took the ranking screenshot, the other guy kicked him out.
* * *
- 50 seconds for 2 million won lolololol what’s his hourly rate lololololol
- Best lecture ever acknowledged
- Is this the level you need to be called a master?
- Does that mean there’s only one master in this world, the streamer?
- You just have to do it well! Discipline lolololol
- Even the final kick lolololol
- Even a demon would shake its head in disbelief
Kael was done with this.
He had proven it and set a record no one could ever dream of surpassing.
But.
Seo-jun had no intention of ending it here.
Though he would end it for today.
“Everyone, just a moment. I have one last donation to send. And please unite again.”
Soon, Seo-jun’s final donation went up on Sword God’s stream.
Only the last sentence was left in Korean, untranslated.
[‘Sword Spirit’ donated 50 yuan!]
[I took Kael, so look for me in the history books with a different hero. 핣숣읻읆멶 ㅋ]
Of course, this time too, at least the nuance of the final ‘k’ was perfectly conveyed.
