The Veteran Swordmaster’s Stream (Novel) - Chapter 46
Chapter 46
“You…”
– You???
– Oh, LOL.
– Streamer, it’s just swinging a sword, but why is it so cool? LOL.
– Real, it has the scent of a master.
– What is the result?
[You are now a member of the Demonic Sect.]
“It seems I cannot dare to evaluate you.”
First Elder Baek Wi-gang of the Demonic Sect placed his hands behind his back, turned his body, and looked into the distance.
As Seo-jun turned his gaze to the place where his gaze landed, there was one highest pavilion.
“To think there is someone among outsiders who has already risen to the ranks of a Great Grandmaster. This is the first time.”
Baek Wi-gang finished speaking.
[You have acquired the title of Great Grandmaster.]
[From now on, you receive treatment equal to that of the elders in the Demonic Sect. Those belonging to the Demonic Sect will look up to you.]
[You have acquired trait points.]
.
.
.
– Holy cow.
– Great Grandmaster? There’s such a thing?
– I’m a veteran, but this is my first time seeing it.
– Not even First-Rate or Transcendence Realm, but Great Grandmaster? Seriously insane.
– What is a Great Grandmaster?
– A Great Grandmaster is a realm where one can create new martial arts. People like Bodhidharma of Shaolin or Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang, shivering.
He has an eye for talent.
Seo-jun was pleased and read the explanation for the title.
It seemed to be a title that could receive treatment higher than anyone else in the Demonic Sect.
Inferring from the content, if one was judged to be in a low grade like third-class or second-class, they started by receiving fewer goods or trait points that could be obtained through the game, and the treatment of NPCs in the Demonic Sect seemed to be bad.
The Great Grandmaster was exactly the opposite of this.
“Did you see? This is the sword of the Heavenly Demon.”
– Insane.
– Seriously, this is my first time seeing that.
– Why are you even good at martial arts!!!
– I followed that guide, so why is someone second-class and someone a Great Grandmaster? What’s the difference??
– Something is different anyway. If you can’t feel this, you are just at least Bronze, LOL.
– Shut up.
Seo-jun liked the fact that he started with all the points to invest in traits.
“Heavenly Demon-nim, what grade did you get?”
When he came down from the sparring stage, the sword master asked.
“He called me a Great Grandmaster. Doesn’t it float next to the nickname?”
“Ah, the title? You have to set it to appear yourself.”
“Really? Ah, then is your title also…?”
Seo-jun looked up at the sword master’s head.
“Yes. I set it, indeed.”
Wasn’t he embarrassed earlier?
A truly hard-to-predict person.
“But Seo-jun-nim. If it’s a Great Grandmaster, how high is that? I don’t think I saw it in the guide I watched yesterday.”
“Hmm… people say it’s a grade that has appeared for the first time now.”
“Wow… is it above First-Rate?”
The titles that Baek Wi-gang handed down were known to be third-class, second-class, first-class, and first-rate.
Until this very day, that was.
“Didn’t you do the same thing as me? How on earth did you do it?”
“Shall I teach you?”
In any case, some time remained.
The period the Battleground opened was from 7 PM to 10 PM, exactly 3 hours.
The current time was 6:30.
“Yes! I want to become at least first-class. Truly.”
– Professor! Please help! LOL.
– Seriously, how did he do it…
– A streamer who is suspiciously good at martial arts.
– And unexpectedly, he was sincere about wuxia too.
– If you read wuxia novels, does your martial arts skill also rise?
– Is that even possible? LOL.
‘If I just lightly adjust his posture for 30 minutes… No.’
Suddenly, a fun idea occurred to him.
“Or, would you rather I teach you swordsmanship? A little bit every day.”
“That would be even better! I know your skill, Heavenly Demon-nim. On top of that, you are at a level to receive a new title.”
“Really?”
“Yes!”
“Seriously?”
“Yes!”
“One thing I can guarantee is that your skill will rise.”
“Ooooh!!!”
“In return, you must absolutely not run away.”
“Yes! …Pardon?”
He was baited.
“You answered.”
With this, he secured one piece of content to warm up the stream while playing For Chivalry.
– ???
– Suddenly the atmosphere turned strange.
– It’s chilling. A dagger in the chest…
– He says he’ll teach him, but why is the streamer’s expression so evil, LOL.
“Uh… that, Seo-jun-nim?”
The sword master also seemed to have noticed something strange.
“Yes?”
“How are you going to teach…”
“Ah. Don’t worry about that.”
It was all carefully selected and verified teachings.
How many geniuses of the Orthodox Faction had wanted to receive his teachings?
Of course, those geniuses also completely changed their attitudes after training and even secretly deserted, but wasn’t the effect certain anyway?
“Don’t tell me it’s hard, right?”
Even if it is hard, you must receive it.
It is the teaching of the Sword God, of all things!
My word. He couldn’t even reveal his identity.
“First of all, Sword-nim.”
“…Yes.”
“Do you think your skill can rise by taking it easy?”
“That’s not it.”
“Right?”
“Yes.”
Indeed.
There is no free lunch in this world.
Even those who seemed to have risen in realm in an instant through enlightenment had passed through countless times of frustration blocked by walls.
A single word from him couldn’t change anything.
What was ultimately needed was effort.
And greater effort, at that!
“And think about it. You become a master, suppress the enemy in just a single move, look down on them, and speak.”
“What?”
Gulp.
The sword master’s Adam’s apple moved.
Seo-jun watched this and spoke slowly.
“To receive this seat’s sword, your vessel is too lacking.”
– Cringe, cringe.
– Will that even work? LOL.
– How can the incentive be roleplaying, LOL.
– Don’t touch the poor kid, LOL.
Seo-jun’s face, which had put on a solemn expression as much as possible, returned to normal.
And he sent a look asking how it was to the sword master.
The result.
“That would be completely cool!”
Indeed, the person was truly pure.
“Right? You must have seen me do it yesterday.”
“Honestly, I was envious.”
The sword master nodded.
– That actually worked??
– Stay…
– Why, he might teach him well.
– As if. Don’t you know even after watching the stream until now? The most malicious one here is the streamer.
– Real, LOL.
Sigh.
Seo-jun sighed inwardly.
Originally, there was no need to persuade like this.
It was enough to just tell him to come out and then immediately drop him from a cliff like a lion.
‘In the past, regardless of whether they were a child of a prestigious family or a promising genius, I provided the same equal education to all of them, but this time I have to make an exception.’
There wasn’t even a suitable cliff to drop him from right now.
“First of all, Sword-nim. You can use three hours for training every day, right?”
“Yes, well. Midterms are over, so I have plenty of free time!”
“Are you a college student?”
“Yes!”
Then that was even better.
“Then I’ll teach you with a long-term perspective. How about it?”
“Sounds good!”
“Then first of all, log onto the Surface site and do all of the recommended exercise courses. Probably 2 hours a day will be enough.”
The exercises recommended by Surface for virtual reality were exercises related to body balance.
Squats, standing on one foot, weight shifting, yoga, pilates, etc.
“Pardon? Why that?”
The sword master showed a puzzled look.
“Of course it’s because of the basic skills. Didn’t you hear what Baek Wi-gang said earlier?”
“He said my basic skills are lacking, indeed.”
“Right. But basic skills are important yet nothing special. They are the foundation.”
And the way to grow the foundation was easy and most people knew it.
It was just a problem because it was predictable and boring.
Only by establishing that predictable, boring, and achievement-unseen foundation could one’s skill rise.
“Seo-jun-nim, aren’t those exercises said to be good for raising the assimilation rate?”
“In virtual reality, that is the foundation.”
“Ah, right.”
That foundation would soon become basic skills.
– Oh, LOL.
– That makes sense.
– Indeed, I learn another thing from a newbie who hasn’t played virtual reality for long…
He had heard from Lee Dong-soo.
That even professional players did the exercises recommended by Surface every day.
In virtual reality, the physical sensory organs are not used.
‘Therefore, rather, one has to train the physical sensory organs of reality. It was fascinating.’
Professional players reduce the gap with the senses of virtual reality as much as possible to increase the assimilation rate, reducing the sense of disparity with the brain even slightly.
Since signals in virtual reality are mostly more extreme than signals in reality.
Of course, the assimilation rate only rises slightly.
The reason why Surface recommended those exercises was due to health.
Seo-jun merely recommended it for building the foundation.
“Understood. I’ll do them!”
“Be sure to do it in reality. It’s good to accumulate combat experience in virtual reality. In the first place, what is there to fight about in reality? But moving the body is different.”
In truth, he didn’t know well whether exercising in reality was better in terms of skill rather than health.
Just that athletes who moved their bodies well in reality, especially Seo-jun himself, moved well in virtual reality as well?
Therefore, there was only one reason why he told the sword master to exercise in reality.
That way, it would be hard.
Training naturally had to be hard.
– But where did the streamer cultivate his combat experience?
– Isn’t he the successor of an organization?
– He is the successor of the Demonic Cult.
– Was the Murim origin actually real, LOL.
The sponsored assignment was done with this.
In the future, he would call him out every stream to kill some time.
***
“Hmm, now let’s set the traits.”
The sword master had logged out of the game to exercise according to the homework Seo-jun gave.
After that, to participate in the game, Seo-jun had come down from the mountain, gone to the center of the village, and taken a position.
When he opened the trait window, a complicated-looking screen connected like a tree appeared.
And the trait points 30 floating on top.
It was the maximum trait points that could be acquired.
Now he just had to distribute this well and design a build, they said.
“Whew, it’s complicated.”
Even if one chose other detailed factions, they had to invest in traits, but since the Demonic Sect did not have detailed factions, the traits were particularly more numerous and complicated.
From minor traits that slightly increased movement speed in special situations to core traits that allowed the use of martial arts.
Thinking of the combinations, it seemed countless variations could come out.
– Go Blood Cult meta, I want to see that.
– Where do you dare recommend a tank?
– What suits the Heavenly Demon is obviously the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
– Real, ignorant people, LOL. The Demonic Sect is unconditionally heavy sword.
– Heavy sword, BS.
– LOL, look at the kids fighting.
Even though he didn’t say he was receiving recommendations, people began to recommend.
“Everyone, don’t tell me you thought I came without even looking into this kind of thing?”
– Yes.
– Ye.
– Of course.
– <<< A person who didn't even know what the Demonic Sect's entry test was just now.
The viewers' distrust of the streamer was serious.
However, Seo-jun did have traits he had in mind.
Build.
In games, it was a word referring to the combination of various equipment and trait settings.
In For Chivalry, designing traits around the most core martial art was the core of this build.
Seo-jun read the explanations of numerous traits and began to select traits.
– Are you really going to do that???
– Are you the Heavenly Demon? Are you the Heavenly Demon? Are you the Heavenly Demon?
– Of all choices, a tank, LOL.
– Blood Cult meta, YES!
As Seo-jun invested in traits, the outline he drew was revealed, and the viewers noticed.
However, as he invested in more important traits, the reaction changed.
– What's this?
– Wasn't it the Blood Cult meta? Why are you investing in that?
– Was there such a build?
– Streamer…
– If you do that, you can't be a tank, LOL.
– Starting to do foolish things again.
“Phew.”
Seo-jun finally invested in the core trait.
It was the Great Art of Absorbing Stars.
Originally, since the Great Art of Absorbing Stars was a martial art that absorbed the opponent's internal energy, it was designed in For Chivalry as a martial art that could fill health when attacking the enemy.
Therefore, because one could hold out for a long time while fighting, it was used as a tank build, and seeing that appearance of filling health, it was also called the Blood Cult.
However, the reason why the viewers were like this was.
– Well… because you invested all the detailed traits only in things related to damage, you won't be able to hold out…
– Please, don't do this.
– Uncomfortable, haha.
– I knew it would be like this, LOL.
– (Site Link) Look at this and change it, streamer.
The build he ultimately completed was completely detached from the build previously used for tanks.
In the first place, it was an inefficient thing to change traits that veterans had optimized over hundreds and thousands of matches.
However.
“I won't change it. This will be much better. You are not a Great Grandmaster.”
– You are not a Great Grandmaster!
– Real, LOL.
– Streamer, do everything you want, LOL.
– Whatever the Great Grandmaster says is right.
And.
“The time has come. It can't be helped.”
It was 7 o'clock.
Seo-jun walked inside with light steps to start the game.
The Battleground was added to the game modes.
“Well, we'll know who is right once we play the game.”
Don't tell me he would do this to lose?
If he failed, it was a magical girl, after all.
