Martial Arts Returnee's Game Broadcast

Chapter 97

During the brief moment when the broadcast was forcibly cut off due to a blind warning,

the viewers who were unexpectedly ejected into outer space were furious.

Open the door!!!

Why are you playing the game alone!!!

Show us too!!

Seriously, why does a woman have to strip down like that? You should’ve scolded her and quickly put her clothes back on, tsk tsk.

No way, can that even happen during a fight?

The physical streamer who had been showcasing incredible combat prowess and extraordinary action during every Boss Battle,

the rising star of the physical streaming world, Silent Sword Master,

had been robbed of the most exciting scene of this battle right before their eyes.

Even the most patient viewers could not avoid being enraged.

-(Open the door emoji)

-(Open the door emoji)(Open the door emoji)(Open the door emoji)

Open the door, open the door, open the door, open the door!

This is a severe case of “open the door” addiction, requiring treatment.

Hmph, sounds like a quack doctor. I won’t pay your consultation fee, so open the door and get out of here!

It really is an addiction.

You open the door when you leave, haha.

“Open the door” is what the club president’s wives say.

Lmao, for real.

Like a doorknob, if someone else doesn’t open it, you’ll never get it open yourself, haha.

So that’s why the teacher never leaves the room, huh?

No, damn.

Here we go again with the “Ghost Killer” syndrome.

What happens if you get trapped in a room where you die after an hour?

Open the door!!!

What the hell, you’d actually die from that!!

What’s the variation?

If the door doesn’t open, you’ll die, so please open it, haha.

I feel like I’m going to die from suffocating too.

How come not one person said they’re going to open the door themselves? It’s really dizzying...

What’s this psychological trick, damn?

Since he’s the Master of Locked Room Tricks, I assumed it was locked.

Even donations have gotten toxic now, you jerks.

The anger, lost and aimed at one another,

slowly turned viewers into Ghost Killer Syndrome patients,

as they began spiraling into chaos in the cosmic atmosphere.

10 minutes later

I’ll escape from here!!

See you on the main broadcast, you jerks.

After the hellish 10 minutes passed,

the viewers returned with different numbers in hand, guessing how many pieces Baekmokgui had been torn into.

?

?

What is this?

Upon seeing a scene completely different from what they expected,

the chat was flooded with hooks.

Where’s Baekmokgui?

Why is the host sitting there meditating?

Why the hell is the Boogeyman not cleaning but picking up random stuff, damn?

The boss battle you were expecting was replaced by Silent Sword Master meditating and the automatic vacuum Boogeyman.

What the hell, give it back!

Your spine?

I don’t need a spine, just bring back the boss battle!!

This is madness, damn.

I’m completely confused.

What happened to the boss battle?

What occurred here?

And why is Silent Sword Master meditating?

The questions just piled up,

and the only witness and the person involved, Silent Sword Master,

had yet to rise from her meditation, even after over 5 minutes.

Hey, what the hell is going on right now?!

Are you not broadcasting? Not broadcasting?

The new viewers are out of their minds, haha.

Five-minute meditation after a boss battle is 'common sense,' you know?

Silent Sword Master, is that you again?

You evil Silent Sword Master! Get out of our Silent Sword Master’s body!

So how much time has passed?

6 minutes.

You said 5 minutes!!!

The unprecedented 5-minute silent broadcast

had viewers on the verge of quitting.

Among them, one astute viewer noticed something odd.

But why is the sword glowing?

Huh? That’s true!

What’s happening now?

Something... something’s happening...

Can someone explain? I feel like I’m losing my mind...

I don’t know, I’m scared too. What is this?

If you don’t know, who does!!

Hurry up and try to figure it out!!

ᅲᅲ

The automatic vacuum Boogeyman

was consuming the explosive fragments of Baekmokgui’s body, drinking blood,

while Silent Sword Master sat meditating on a wide rock,

her eyes closed.

Her sword, resting beside her, was emitting a subtle glow,

in a chaotic broadcast.

No one could have imagined that the bizarre meditative broadcast would continue for an entire 15 minutes,

when only 6 minutes had passed for the viewers.

Through self-reflection, Hae Eung-eung realized

the amount of energy Baekmokgui had left behind.

In terms of internal power, it amounted to a whopping 60 years of cultivation.

A level of energy equivalent to 1 Gapja (60 years),

a familiar unit to martial artists from the Murim world.

‘Normally, I couldn’t absorb this, and I shouldn’t try to absorb it either.’

In martial arts fiction,

there are tales of miraculous encounters where

one gains 1 Gapja of cultivation from eating a single pill

or increases their cultivation by 1 Gapja just by drinking a single drop.

Such legendary elixirs are rare, but if found,

they could burst your body if consumed recklessly.

‘Such elixirs are rare, but if you find one, you’ll die if you take it carelessly.’

Internal power is the natural energy you’ve harnessed within your body.

By directing it through your meridians, you form energy channels

that circulate or expel at your will.

To control it,

your energy must circulate through your meridians.

‘During internal circulation and energy manipulation, you must never rush and always circulate a balanced amount to avoid damaging your meridian channels.’

Simply being happy with having abundant energy and recklessly pushing it into your meridians

will cause unbearable pressure.

The meridians will swell and burst under the intense force,

and if your body balloons like a pufferfish and explodes,

you’ll experience a horrific tragedy you won’t wish for.

If you don’t want to face such a fate,

you must never overexert yourself while circulating energy during meditation.

This is why martial artists who fall into the trap of martial arts energy manipulation often suffer irreversible consequences.@@@@

Since her meridians were already weakened by Gu-eumjeolmaek,

if she tried to absorb energy without caution,

it would be the same as not absorbing any energy at all,

leading to disastrous results.

She carefully filtered the energy,

leaving only 7 years of energy.

[Her power increases by 7.]

[Power: 14]

Given that she had 7 years of energy,

this was an extraordinary breakthrough,

doubling her internal power in an instant.

‘Doubling my internal energy means the scale of my power increases exponentially.’

With 7 years of energy, she could perform feats that equaled 49 times the power.

With 14 years of energy, it would be 196 times the power.

‘It’s still a bit rushed, but I’ll take the time to refine my energy to its purest form.’

The boss battle isn’t over yet.

The arrogant demon, Baekmokgui, who tried to dominate her mind, is still out there.

[Kuhuhuh, kuhuhuhahaha!]

[I'm back. No one can stop me now!]

Now, the time has come to show that her body and mind belong to no one but herself.

3.

Remember this in the next life.

When it comes to another’s mind, entering it might be easy, but leaving it isn’t.

Baekmokgui’s mind collapsed in an instant.

The notifications of her defeat flooded in, signaling the successful clearing of the boss battle,

but her attention was not on the outside world—it shifted inward.

‘What a commendable demon.’

Not only did she gift me 7 years of energy all at once,

but now she has even brought her essence along.

‘How much energy is she trying to gift me, I wonder?’

They say that the most affectionate creatures in the world are humans,

but perhaps demons are the most affectionate after all.

Such an absurd thought crossed her mind as Baekmokgui’s spiritual essence offered an enormous gift.

‘I just cleared 1 Gapja of energy, and now I’m being given another 1 Gapja. A kindness like this is a problem in itself.’

It’s like finishing a bowl of rice only for another to be immediately stacked on top,

like the kindness of a country grandmother.

‘I’m dying to consume this, but they say excess is never good.’

Hae Eung-eung held herself back from indulging in it,

carefully releasing the energy in small portions,

ensuring that she didn’t cause any harm to herself.

‘Where is the energy disappearing to?’

As she began to focus on her internal energy again,

Hae Eung-eung was struck with confusion.

‘What is this bizarre situation?’

Every time she released energy into the world,

her sword, lying beside her, began to absorb the energy.
