Chapter 20

-Holy shit hahahahaha they actually won

-Neighborhood folks! Come see a Beginner Rank beat down an Orange Rank!

-I ran here at the speed Steven got beaten and flew away.

-Is Gwanjong a god? Is Gwanjong a god? Is Gwanjong a god? Is Gwanjong a god?

-Who is Gwanjong Cheonma? He appeared like a comet in Street Fighting story mode and faced Joint…

-Attention-seeking Heavenly Demon turns out to be cold-blooded after all. Is there no “higher level” for him? ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Stop with the nonsense, can someone explain that effect? Smoke is rising from his fist?

-At that level, isn’t that more like a weapon than a body part? You throw a few punches and smoke comes out? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Viewers who understand why Fucidin made such a big fuss, upvote lol ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-How much damage just went in? I knew Bung-ta was strong, but to this extent?

-Are you blind? Didn’t you see ‘Smash’ applied when Bung-ta hit?

-Wow, when was the last time ‘Smash’ appeared outside of pro gamers? Feels like I’m seeing it for the first time in years?

-That washed-up can’t even show proper joints and that’s supposed to be Smash lol

-I came because I heard there’s a Beginner Rank triggering Smash.

It wasn’t just the chat.

Sweet rewards fell to Hae-rang, who had scored the first point against an Orange Rank.

【Viewer donated 10,000 won!】

【To Gwanjong Cheonma: Gwanjong Cheonma, great job!】

【Viewer donated 20,000 won!】

【To Gwanjong Cheonma: Admission fee for showing Smash ^0^】

【Viewer donated 50,000 won!】

【To 관종천마: I think this one game just filled up all my dopamine for today lololololol】

Donations that exploded during the ‘Break the Joint’ match.

Most of them came from Joint’s broadcast, but it didn’t matter.

As long as they properly indicated the donation was for Gwanjong Cheonma, the donation would be delivered to the person in question.

This was also why amateur gamers wanted to participate in ‘Break the Joint’.

“…Thank you for the donations.”

Hae-rang, who had roughly shaken his body once, asked with a slightly flushed face.

“But… what is Smash?”

-Hahahahaha I was wondering why I couldn’t get those words out

-That thing you triggered! That thing with tons of exclamation marks!

-When you hit really hard, exclamation marks appear. That’s ‘Smash’.

-When you trigger ‘Smash’, it does more damage than regular skills

-Hmm..but this requires..perfect command input and amazing reflexes..

-Gwanjong sir. Are you perhaps an athlete?

-Did you prepare to be an athlete before?

“Athletics…”

Hae-rang briefly recalled his past life.

Then he smiled brightly.

“I did a lot of similar things.”

-What similar things?

-Wow, you look even more handsome when you smile, damn

-Isn’t it cheating to have that face while wearing a Full Phoenix uniform?

-It doesn’t suit you at all lmaooooooo

-You see a handsome face once or twice in capsule games? Don’t make a big deal out of it

-Ha. I wish that face was actually the attention seeker’s real face ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Don’t bother trying to take the red pill, just enjoy the looks in the game lol

Gwanjong Cheonma’s channel was flooded with praise and numerous donations.

Hae-rang’s concentration soared with wings.

The subsequent development was one-sided.

“Ooh-ah!”

Kwang!

“Gyaaaaaaak!”

Victory in every round without losing a single match.

The result called a ‘straight’ was created.

‘Sadam Husiddin’ was eliminated without achieving a single victory.

Watching Husiddin flying away in slow motion, Choi Gang-sik finally became certain.

‘Hae-rang is definitely a genius.’

He doesn’t know Iron Fist in great detail.

But he knows there are walls between ranks that are hard to overcome.

A Beginner Rank who has never fought people beating an expert rank.

That’s something hard to explain without the two words ‘genius’.

Thump.

Choi Gang-sik’s heart beats violently.

In the past, he had felt this kind of elation very occasionally.

While doing management work, when he encountered certain trainees, he felt like this.

When he discovered the possibility of becoming a star, Choi Gang-sik’s heart would race like this.

‘How far… can he extend?’

There are quite a few stars he debuted with his own hands.

But definitely.

This was the first time his body trembled like this.

‘If by any chance, he manages to grasp victory…’

Joint’s main game, ‘Iron Fist Seven’.

If Hae-rang manages to win in a game where his opponent had even experienced the National Team,

‘A new comet will emerge in the streamer market.’

Reflecting the explosive anticipation, the chat and donation window were bursting like a collapsed dam.

* * *

“Woohyoooooooo!”

Joint takes light steps toward his opponent cornered against the wall.

As the shoulder of ‘Briar’, the character he’s controlling, twitches, the opponent’s guard is forcibly broken.

Thwack!

The opponent’s head jerks back after taking the Unblockable Skill.

Joint sticks his tongue out long and delivers Briar’s highest damage combo.

Thud thud thud thud thud!

-There it is! ‘Provocation Flash Upper’!!!

-Kyah! When it comes to joints, it’s gotta be Dosem hahahahaha

-Th-th-th-that’s a totally broken skill tsk tsk tsk tsk, how does it make sense to forcibly break through guards?

-If you don’t like it, you do it too lol Does that command look easy to you?

-If you do it, you’ll be dancing with joy and then get totally wrecked lololololol

-My joints aren’t dead yet haha. It was a clean dodge.

The Cheap Skill that brought Joint all the way to the National Team.

Originally, it’s not an attack move, but literally a skill that ‘provokes’ the opponent.

Among all characters in Iron Fist, only Briar’s provocation neutralizes the opponent’s guard.

By utilizing this to the extreme, he connects the ‘Flash Upper’ and delivers powerful combos.

This was Briar’s so-called ‘Do-seom’ that earned Joint his National Team badge.

【K.O.!】

【Briar Fury WIN!】

【STRAIGHT!!】

“Woohyooooooooo!”

Joint stands over his fallen opponent and roars toward the sky.

His opponent was Red Rank.

A skilled player’s rank, positioned right below Gold Rank.

But Joint proved the difference between Gold Rank and Red Rank with his own hands.

-How can you not win a single game? tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

-You don’t know what you’re talking about. Red Rank originally has trouble winning even one round against Gold Rank.

-It’s just one rank difference and there’s this much of a gap?

-Kneel down. This is the eye level between you and me!

-He’s not a National Team veteran for nothing. Red Rank couldn’t do anything and got pushed back one-sidedly.

-That Provocation Flash Upper combo really seems like a skill made just for Joint.

-For real, Joint’s probably the only one in the world who can squeeze in skills that fast.

-But he’s unusually fierce today. I think this is the first time he’s played this intensely since the National Team selection.

【Viewer donated 10,000 won!】

【Sir, aren’t you returning as a player?】

“Oh my! Thank you!”

Several donations burst forth for Joint after he subdued the Red Rank with flashy skills.

Among those who had watched Joint’s broadcast for a long time, quite a few hardcore fans were positioned.

Today’s play was enough to evoke nostalgia for the past.

“See you in the finals! Woohyo!”

Joint flashes his white teeth and strikes a victory pose.

Joint defeated Red Rank in the semifinals and advanced to the finals first.

Now it was time to step up as a host rather than a participant.

“Now, let’s begin the second semifinal. ‘Gwanjong Cheonma’ versus ‘Park Su-son’!”

As Joint introduced the matchup, chat poured down like a flood.

Half of it was cheering for Gwanjong Cheonma, and the other half was…

-That damn bastard! Where does he think this is, crawling in here!

-Starting with the username “Clapping Hands” ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ living up to the nickname

-I came because I heard a gamer with a burst of conscience appeared in this tournament

-Isn’t that kind of insane? Spent 100,000 won to change their username and it’s “Clapping Hands” ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Die, you bastard! Iron Fist gets cursed because of guys like you

-For real, a few of my friends tried to start Tekken but got destroyed by health combos and immediately refunded it lmaooooo

-That fucking bootlicker just clapped like a seal and somehow made it to the golden tier, pisses me off so much ㅡㅡ

“Health Clap?”

Hae-rang asks his viewers on his channel.

The viewers reacted as if Hae-rang asking about Health Clap was rather absurd.

-What? You play Iron Fist and don’t even know Health Clap?

-When you search for “iron fist” on portals, the first related search term that comes up is “health clapping” lol

-Our Gwanjong doesn’t know anything!

-Hahahaha let’s get used to it now. She’s practicing parry commands in actual matches.

-Yeah. It’s not like it’s just happened once or twice. Let’s just explain it to them ㅇㅅㅇ

-Among the skills that Jackie-8 uses, there’s something called ‘SSDG’, which is commonly known as ‘Health Clap’.

-It’s called Health Clap because people return to a healthy life after quitting the game due to that unreasonable technique.

-He must be really something to be called “Jack-bastard” instead of “Jackie-8” lol

-That shit can’t be avoided with Side Step, the one blocking gets delayed even when blocking, there’s mid-low mix-ups too.. Anyway, just know it’s a fucking overpowered skill.

“I see.”

The character Hae-rang chose was, as expected, Full Phoenix.

Soon, he first took a fist salute toward the large man armed with mechanical gloves, ‘Park Su-son’.

“Please go easy on me.”

“Hehe. Me too.”

-Hehe my ass. That bastard’s concept is so fucking annoying.

-That little shit who climbed up with cheap skills acting all cute ㅡㅡ For real!

-I checked this bastard’s record and he only used Health Clap all day. He was Orange Rank before the patch but now he’s Gold Rank.

-For real lmaooooo if you boil beef bones that much they’d probably turn into pure water.

Not just Hae-rang, but countless middle fingers followed in Joint’s chat window as well.

However, ‘Park Su-son’ didn’t care and smiled mischievously.

【Round One! Fight!】

Drrrrrrk!

Right from the start, that Jackie bastard, no, Jackie-8’s right hand transforms into a drill and spins.

Hae-rang blocked that attack with observant eyes.

Though the first attack was blocked, ‘Park Su-son’s’ expression was full of leisure.

‘Idiot. You should have ducked and dodged instead of blocking.’

Toward Full Phoenix who was stunned by the drill attack, ‘Park Su-son’ jumped up and spread both arms left and right.

-Shit, here it comes.

-That fucking annoying skill

-Look at him going at it right from the start ㅡㅡ

-What are the developers doing? Not patching it

Unlike the boiling chat window, Hae-rang’s eyes were coldly calm.

‘First, let me check it out with my own body.’

Thwack!

A merciless palm strike pierces Hae-rang’s side as he tries to escape with a side step.

“Kyaha! Nice sound!”

Full Phoenix, having taken the attack, staggers and retreats.

Jackie bastard didn’t stop and continuously cast ‘Health Clap’.

Thwack!

Crack!

‘So this is how it feels.’

Even when defending, delay catch doesn’t work.

Forget delay catch, the one blocking becomes more stunned.

Sometimes he’d try to use Clapping Hands but attack low instead, or pierce through gaps with other derived techniques.

【K.O.!】

【Jackie-8 WIN!】

The game ended after just clapping throughout the entire first round.

As Full Phoenix collapsed to the ground, complaints filled the chat window.

-Booooooooo!

-Disgusting, so disgusting!

-Gaaaaaaaaah, ptui!

-That fucking conscienceless bastard

-Shouldn’t that skill be banned by law?

“Haha! Thanks for the cheering!”

Jackie-8 did a bouncy shoulder dance.

Full Phoenix, who had collapsed to the ground, silently got up from his position.

Then he wiped his split lip with his finger and took his stance.

-Our Gwanjong really has good mental strength.

-If it were me, I’d have rage quit immediately. Or asked for his address.

-What the hell were the developers thinking when they made such a skill?

-Did anyone see that post from a while back claiming to be some kind of “debunking method”? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I was just speechless.

-I saw that too. What was it again? Something about targeting the moment when arms are fully spread?

-I tested that and it comes out to exactly 3 frames.

-Holy shit lololol There are 60 frames in 1 second, so you’re telling me to react in 0.05 seconds?

-Developer bastards lol why don’t you try it yourself, fuck

Smack!

Right at that moment.

Jackie-8’s head, who was about to use Clapping Hands, snapped backward.

-?

-?

-?

Countless question marks burst out in the chat window.
