Chapter 128
4.
It hadn’t even been five minutes before the Silent Swordmaster was caught by Lee So-hye.
Haha.
The manager caught him immediately.
I knew Gyenjang wasn’t trusting him.
Seriously, how did you catch him?
A manager who catches human monsters capable of making meat paste from yokai, all by herself.
“It’s not like I told you to learn first; you begged me to teach you. Then you run away? If you’re going to do it, do it properly!”
[Sorry for running away, but I think the spinning target was crossing the line.]
“When you fight, you get more dizzy than when you’re running, right? Stop whining and try to challenge it. I’ll teach you a trick every time you get stuck.”
Her words were true.
Compared to the real combat training of martial artists, this was easy.
There was even the aspect of being considerate and preparing for different situations.
As the founder of Haenampa and someone who wanted to take over the martial world, Hae Eung-eung didn’t want to look bad in front of the many viewers.
But backing down now would also be humiliating, wouldn’t it?
Lee So-hye, who had seemed like such a villain, might be trying to preserve the Silent Swordmaster’s dignity as a manager.
Clink!
“Hahaha! You really can’t do it.”
“......”
No.
She really was a villain.
Hahaha.
You’re done for!
Seriously caught by a real villain, huh? Haha.
What’s going on here?
Damn.
-(Deleted message.)
Hitting a stationary target was easy, but hitting a moving target was difficult.
As expected, Hae Eung-eung’s whip missed, hitting the support of the shelves instead.
Considering her perfect performance in Banyogok, it was rare to see such a weak side of the Silent Swordmaster.
The viewers’ reactions were very positive.
Isn’t it so cute when the Silent Swordmaster looks so sulky?
Yeah, only you find him cute. You remind me of Danto and it’s really annoying.
Who’s Danto?
A cat.
True though, haha. Cats always break everything they touch.
Nah, it’s the dogs who break things and look guilty, while the butterflies are like, “I broke this, do you want to fight me?”
Danto Academy A+
Cats and top scholars.
“You need to predict the position a second ahead and whip accordingly. Use your head. Like this.”
[Mission Task - 11 Completed]
Lee So-hye completed the task lightly.
She thought to herself.
‘If she doesn’t get it after two or three tries, I’ll tease her for another minute and then show her how to catch the timing.’
A typical mindset of wanting to savor the opportunity to tease the Silent Swordmaster while it lasted.
However, Hae Eung-eung didn’t need much time to adapt.
‘If I’ve seen it once, copying it is no problem.’
Hae Eung-eung, perfectly mimicking Lee So-hye’s timing, made a predictive strike that hit the target exactly.
[Mission Task - 11 Completed]
“Tch... You really do have good instincts. But the speed of the rotation increases every time the difficulty goes up.”
The targets began to rotate faster.
But the trick was that it was hard on the first attempt, but once you got the hang of it, your proficiency increased incredibly fast.

[Mission Task - 19 Completed]
Starting from a speed of 1 meter per second, Hae Eung-eung quickly adapted to speeds reaching up to 100 meters per second.
When it was time for the 10th level mission, yellow lights flashed as the roulette spun.
[Dance Miniature]
Breaking the limits of the One-Wheel method,
weaving two paths at once,
this is the absolute certainty of martial law.
Without strong experience,
one might injure themselves or fail to unleash the full power of their attack.
In typical martial arts,
there is a hidden, powerful technique often referred to as the Secret of Final Battle.
Exploding from the tip of the whip,
it broke the limits of normal internal energy.
Crash!
The internal energy that surpassed the critical limit of the whip shattered as the whip struck the target,
and the resulting fragments exploded into a shower of energy.
Each fragment held the explosive force
to shatter the pole in the center of the shelf
and destroy the dancer miniature, spinning above it.
It tore through all 49 slots in an instant,
puncturing holes in the 8 surrounding slots,
breaking 14 more,
and the next ones,
one by one,
shattering every shelf in a row.
Even the spinning roulette,
that had been spinning at supersonic speed,
was ripped to shreds.
Like a massive dragon twisting through the sky,
destroying everything in its path.
The scene grew more intense as it progressed,
and even Lee So-hye, who had been playful until then,
couldn’t mock Hae Eung-eung anymore.
We’re doomed!!!
The host is absolutely furious.
The entire map just got wrecked.
Where’s the dancer miniature?
No clue.
Is that a miniature arm burning over there?
This is insane, hahaha.
Don’t ever mess with the Silent Swordmaster again...
Is that a bomb?
Bomb swordsman.
Bomber girl.
It’s just a “mass kill” swordsman doing what they do, what’s the problem?
I... sometimes... break the map...
Sometimes I can’t hold back my anger, but I’m fine now...
If you can’t hold back twice, you’ll break the game.
This is how terrifying a 7th-level martial artist is, everyone.
Even the manager is so distracted they can’t even moderate the chat, hahaha.
Is it now?
Yas.
The freedom of expression has returned!
King Sejong approves of the Yaminjeong-eum time, haha.
Yas.
Pal.
Yas. Yas!! Yas!!! YAS!!!!
Is this freedom...?
(Deleted message. Remaining time: 10:00)
Yeah, it’s too late.
Hahaha.
Phew, almost typed Yaminjeong-eum.
With the insane Yas villains’ chat taking over, Lee So-hye snapped out of it.
She was still in shock.
It was common for players to get frustrated and rage in a game like this,
but she had never witnessed anyone destroy the map out of sheer anger.
Staring at the dreadful scene of devastation before her, she made a vow.
She would never provoke the Silent Swordmaster’s temper again.
