The Veteran Swordmaster’s Stream (Novel) - Chapter 79
Chapter 79
Normally, if a broadcast was in progress, not many related posts were uploaded to the community forum.
Because except for a few who wanted to relay the match, most people were focusing on the broadcast.
But it was different now.
A live broadcast watched by over 100,000 people.
Even if only 1% of them briefly turned their attention to the community forum, it would be 1,000 people.
For that reason, countless posts related to Seo-jun were being uploaded to Nohyeop and receiving recommendations.
Content related to their joint broadcast took over Nohyeop.
If the broadcast ended, it was obvious that several times more posts than this would be uploaded.
[The rankers are unexpectedly complete trash? lol]
[The post written yesterday by one of the rankers who got wrecked just now is hilarious, lol]
[Is he really insanely good? Or is it that we became stagnant and didn’t improve?]
[Only the Demonic Sect is excited]
Oddly enough, there were few professionals who enjoyed For Chivalry.
Although there would surely be people logging in with alt accounts, that was the same for other games, so normally they roughly inferred how many pro players enjoyed the game through their main accounts, which were revealed on the surface.
And on the surface, the number of pros who enjoyed For Chivalry was two.
This easy number of pros playing was probably due to the entry barrier.
Meaning that because there were too many martial arts and movements to know in order to enjoy it properly, it wasn’t a game busy pros could easily enjoy.
However.
[Entry barrier? Stagnant game? Master my foot, lol]
==
No matter how I look at it, we seem to be just idiots who dug terribly deep into only the martial arts made by this game company, not knowing real swordsmanship.
We were delusional inside our own well without knowing that, and realized it only when a real master smashed us regardless of martial arts or whatever with a slow sword.
The ocean is wide!
==
-Did a troll playing The League come here?
-It seems players of other games are taking this opportunity to look down on us
-I was confident in my swordsmanship, but watching today, I don’t know anymore. Are those helplessly defeated guys really the masters I knew? My heart is swelling…
-Don’t let it swell here, lol
-We were frogs in a well!
[Martial arts my foot]
==
Those guys getting wrecked by such a slow sword really wouldn’t stand a chance if they went to other games.
Game level, lol
==
-Real, lol
-Their skill was an illusion
-Not true. Masters of other games are also in the top 100 rankings here. Those who are good are good at everything.
-No, lol, that’s because the ranking here is based on martial arts. If we consider pure physical ability without martial arts, that master would be much higher.
-What is the standard of physical ability?
-Let’s do it in the Training Ground. Honestly, it was funny talking about martial arts and chivalry using martial arts made by a game company.
What was the reason for such reactions?
Indeed, users playing other games were mixed in too.
[Ah lol, upvote this if you think For Chivalry rankers would be exactly Diamond tier if they went to other games, lol]
==
Me first, for one.
==
-Looking at this bastard’s Adventure ID, he is a The League user, so why is he behaving like this here?
-It’s science, lol
-By any chance, are you a Diamond in The League?
-Looking at the threads you wrote, lol, you are indeed Diamond, lol
-This settles it. Let’s just agree that the streamer is good.
-That way, the perception of For Chivalry won’t drop, lol
Although there were players of other games exposed like this, most of the posts were indeed written by people who enjoyed and loved For Chivalry.
The reason they behaved self-deprecatingly was due to the psychology of not wanting to acknowledge Seo-jun, who kept crushing them.
[Someone please defeat him, seriously]
==
Does it make sense to get wrecked by a streamer who will leave without any regrets once the Battleground is over?
And with the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, of all things.
==
-Was the Heavenly Demon Divine Art actually OP?
-Why are those Demonic Sect bastards losing when they have something that good?
-Because they don’t use the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, lol
-I’ll tell you a secret. They kept such a good thing hidden because using that trait is blasphemous unless you are the Heavenly Demon. Real talk.
-That thing is seriously not good, damn lol
The fact that they lost easily to a slow sword also played a part.
The Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
Wasn’t it a trait that forced people to hold back despite having a name that anyone who came to play this game for its wuxia concept could absolutely not resist?
It was a fact acknowledged by everyone that if the Heavenly Demon Divine Art was even slightly good, the Demonic Sect would have immediately taken 1st place in player count and dominated all Battlegrounds.
Yet their pride, the rankers, lost to a streamer who had barely started playing For Chivalry with a trait that had made them turn away from the Demonic Sect.
Even out of resentment, they could not acknowledge the streamer.
However, as they continuously got helplessly beaten, just when they began to wonder, ‘Were we really frogs in a well?’ a donation alert rang on Bangju’s stream.
[The donation on Bangju’s stream just now.]
[Looks like a defeated player’s pathetic excuse, lol]
[Does the sword speed change if you watch it from the opponent’s perspective?]
[It’s ugly, wuxia boomer, lol. I told you, let’s just agree that our skills are trash, what do you mean opponent’s perspective]
At first, they laughed at This is Not the Martial World.
However, once they actually spectated from the perspective of the user Bangju faced.
Public opinion flipped 180 degrees.
[Crazy, gave me goosebumps, lol]
[Watching from the opponent’s perspective, the sword speed… is different?]
[He deserved to lose.]
[How do you escape from there?]
He is just good.
They had no choice but to acknowledge his skill.
Nevertheless, questions remained.
[Watching from the opponent’s perspective, the sword speed… is different?]
==
How is this possible? Even if the perception can differ, lol. This difference is too severe?
==
He felt that losing helplessly could also be understood.
Since watching it directly, no method of how to face him came to mind.
Traditionally, backseat gaming is also something you can do only when you see something.
If you can’t see anything, it means the level is higher than yours, so you can’t even backseat game.
Still, questions could be raised.
And to resolve that question, This is Not the Martial World stepped forward again.
[About the heavy sword that Heavenly Demon 14 mentioned at first.]
==
There are various kinds of sword styles.
Fast sword, illusion sword, soft sword, domineering sword, heavy sword, flying sword.
You have probably heard of these at least once.
However, some might be hearing of the heavy sword for the first time.
So to explain what it is first, the heavy sword is a blunt/slow sword.
A blunt sword does not have any advantages.
It is a sword that one should not aim for.
Yet, this heavy sword is more attractive than anything.
Because it is a sword that has reached the absolute peak of martial arts that only absolute masters can execute.
Have you ever pondered how to defeat an opponent with a slow sword?
Simply knowing the opponent’s movements is not enough to land an attack. Because the speed is slow.
Therefore, to win, one must be able to control the opponent’s movements at will.
But controlling the opponent’s movements at will. Wouldn’t that be too difficult?
Still, there is a way.
Giving up flesh to cut bone.
A strategy of sacrificing flesh to cut bone.
Martial artists like me who use greatswords and have sturdy bodies use this method a lot.
And the heavy sword is a sword that goes further than this.
The heavy sword literally controls the opponent.
It neutralizes the sword.
It makes intuition send incorrect warnings.
It makes feet tangle.
It focuses the gaze.
It makes them lose their rhythm.
It makes them lose their balance.
A slow sword that toys with the opponent, urging them to move as intended, which they cannot block even while knowing it.
That is precisely the heavy sword, and the realm that Lord Seo-jun has reached.
From now on, I shall show you an analysis of how his design worked on me.
.

Seo-jun opened the community forum and read this post together with 17,000 viewers.
He was currently paused in a state where he had defeated the Heavenly Killing Star and achieved a 7-game winning streak.
He couldn’t help it because people stopped queueing up for matches.
He read Bangju’s message, watched the replay once from the opponent’s perspective, and was browsing the community forum.
Even while spending time like that, a match wasn’t found.
Perhaps it would end here for today.
“What do you guys think?”
-A sword you cannot block even while knowing, ke! The dose of Demonic Sect pride is lethal! Tavern keeper! lol
-Is that really true????
-Wuxia boomer-nim, how could you use words like rhythm in your post!
-Waiter, bring out the pickles!
-Tavern keeper! Roll up a hamburger for me!
Seo-jun burst into laughter.
Why is that guy constantly doing that, what did he even do?
-Let’s just agree that the room leader is the Number One Under Heaven
-Seems like a legendary realm, shudder
-But looking at that analysis, it seems correct?
-He says he will analyze other matches later, lol
-So is it correct? The person concerned should explain
The heavy sword, controlling the opponent to land attacks with a slow sword.
To state the conclusion first, there was nothing wrong with the content of that post.
Perhaps because he wrote the parts he personally experienced and felt.
“I’ll leave what is correct to your imagination.”
Though even if I tell you, I don’t think you’d believe it.
[‘Tell Me Now’ donated 1,000,000 won!]
[.]
A donation message that looked too urgent to even write content popped up.
“Wow. Thank you for the 1,000,000 won donation. The content of that post is…”
If it’s like this, he had to tell them.
Perhaps because there were many viewers, there was someone donating 1,000,000 won at once.
-lol, regardless of the peak of martial arts heavy sword or whatever, 1,000,000 won is irresistible
-His stance-shifting speed is crazy
“That’s right. Yes. You have to control the enemy and make it impossible to dodge in order to win. How else do you win?”
Seo-jun readily agreed.
There was nothing to explain differently.
“You can just view it as the same principle as sacrificing flesh to cut bone mentioned there. It’s just a bit more complex and difficult. But the fundamental part is the same. I induce the opponent’s movements exactly as I want.”
-Since he says it like it’s no big deal, it somehow seems to make sense
-Meaning he toyed with them? shudder
-So he just gaslighted them, lol
-Gaslighting Sword Style Heavy Sword, lol
-Thinking of ankle breaker, it seems to make sense
Ankle breaker.
A term used in basketball when breaking a defender’s balance with dazzling dribbling.
“Yes. It would be similar to ankle breaker.”
It was just more difficult.
Seo-jun did not add further explanations.
No one was ignorant of the fact that what he performed was more difficult than making someone lose their balance.
“For details, look at the analyzed content. I’ll point out any incorrect parts.”
Since even if I tell you how it’s done, you won’t be able to understand, so let’s move past it.
People, naturally, could not easily believe it.
It was natural since what Seo-jun said was no different from saying he toyed with the rankers at will.
The posts newly uploaded to the community forum now generally had that tone too.
So Seo-jun smiled and added a word.
“If it seems like a cheat, come fight me once.”
An 8-game winning streak.
He was greedy for it.
-Selling snake oil, lol
-Do you think they will let you win this one more time? lol
-It seems he is already confirmed as 1st place even without an 8-game winning streak
The reputation score earned could increase four times for every two consecutive wins.
If you earned 50 for a 2-game streak, you got 200 for a 4-game streak.
800 for a 6-game streak, and 3,200 could be earned for an 8-game streak.
Because of this, the number of rankers who had succeeded in an 8-game winning streak until now was very few.
Because no matter how overwhelming one’s skill was, if they were blocked in matchmaking like Seo-jun is now, they couldn’t get an 8-game winning streak.
And without exception, every user who was lucky enough to achieve an 8-game winning streak took 1st place in that Battleground.
