Martial Arts Returnee's Game Broadcast-Chapter 277: Why Are You Being Trained?
The Silent Swordsman stayed as a guest in the Cloud Palace.
As she continued her delayed training, the Cloud Dragon nodded repeatedly in satisfaction beside her.
“Qi manipulation and martial arts training... Unlike the current generation that’s just learning how to operate armored mechs, this is the real foundation...”
“That’s right... One must not forget the fundamentals of the three treasures to understand the harmony that follows... Staying true to the basics without being swayed by higher realms...”
“Staying true to the basics, but not neglecting the deepening of skills... You’ve mastered the philosophies of the Five Elements, Six Harmonies, Seven Stars, Eight Trigrams, and Nine Palaces...”
Are you the one in charge of the reactions?Are you the grandparent who came to watch your grandchild’s antics?Why do you talk like only you guys understand? Why do you talk like only you guys understand? Why do you talk like only you guys understand?People who don’t know anything are crying~
<Eom Gil-dong has donated 10,000 KRW!>
“Martial arts, it’s no big deal. If you know Qi Brunch and Silver Return, you can master it.”
Ugh!Here comes the “Martial Arts Master” haha.Did you just use Qi Manipulation and Silver Return like that?What the hell, are you even human?!Do you feel the wind?Aren’t you feeling the flames?Shut up before you burn, little one.He’s already burning, teacher.Do even the Demon Kings watch streams now? Haha.Reevaluating Eom Gil-dong’s judgment after blocking the Silent SwordsmanHow many steps ahead did he predict this?
Eom Gil-dong wasn’t trying to stir things up with donations.
He was, after all, a streamer and a broadcaster. His duty when doing a collaboration was to make the viewers laugh, so he always did his best.
But the task he was given made it impossible to find any fun.
“You guys have to understand. I need to make the broadcast interesting, don’t I?”
So, have you washed all the dishes?Did you get rid of all the stains in the clouds?Have you stored the jewels in the treasure vault?
Endless menial tasks!
‘Please, just finish your training quickly, and let me have a match with Lee Hye-chan’s disciple!’
The malicious work that the Silent Swordsman used as leverage, forcing him to do menial tasks all day.
At this point, Eom Gil-dong was praying that Lee Hye-chan would come and invade first, so he could at least escape.
The palace of the Great Iron Kingdom, Armored Great King.
The Grand Minister’s Hall.
Lee Hye-chan, who had been wielding his sword, realized with the rumbling of the earth that Armored Great King was approaching.
‘Only my disciple could make such a ruckus in the palace.’
A fierce wind blew the dirt from the training grounds, and a massive armored mech bent one knee in front of the pavilion, bowing its head.
The golden-colored machine was the symbol of the king, reserved solely for the Emperor.
Indeed, the one who had come was Armored Great King.
“I’ve found it, Master.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’ve secured a witness account of a woman, unrealistically beautiful as if from another world, boarding Eom Gil-dong’s carriage, known as the Death’s Cloak of the Hixsen Duchy.”
“It must be the Silent Swordsman. Destination?”
“The situation is troublesome. The carriage has headed to the Cloud Palace and hasn’t returned.”
“The Cloud Palace... I thought Eom Gil-dong’s group seemed particularly energetic. It’s the lair of the Gold Dragon.”
His head throbbed in irritation.
“Are you challenging the achievement of dragon slaying? If you assist me, I’ll use all the power of the Great Iron Kingdom to bury that arrogant flying beast into the ground.”
“Stop it. Even a single Gold Dragon is a burden. You want me to take on both it and the Demon Swordmaster at once?”
“You hold the Demon Swordmaster in high regard. Do you not believe in my power, as the founder of the Great Iron Kingdom, Armored Great King?”
Armored Great King was overflowing with confidence.
“The Pony Kingdom, which lasted for a thousand years and was called the Kingdom of Eternity, collapsed before me, Armored Great King.”
“Yeah, that’s right. The King of the Pony Kingdom, Pony Joah, and the legendary unicorn who had dominated the rankings were split in half and killed.”

“If you don’t doubt your disciple’s abilities, what is making you so worried, Master?”
Lee Hye-chan, often called the national pride of the kingdom, wasn’t foolish enough to lose touch with reality.
“The unicorn of Pony Joah showed battle power worthy of a legendary creature. Its quantum mechanics-based attack-nullification was an incredible technique.”
“As you said. Without the full computing power of all Armored units from the Great Iron Kingdom, we wouldn’t have been able to defeat such a formidable opponent.”
“The Demon Swordmaster is a monster who can naturally use techniques like that without exhausting her power. If she doesn’t exhaust her mana, she could easily defeat even the unicorn alone.”
The Silent Swordsman, in perfect condition, with mana manipulation under control, was a monster no one could easily defeat.
‘The Silent Swordsman does have some weaknesses, though...’
The technique of mana manipulation could only be used for so long before mana ran out.
This had been proven in the Ascension Pillar raid in Half-Demon Valley.
If they could force her into a Qi competition that would exhaust her stamina, there was a chance they could win.
‘But to think the Silent Swordsman is hiding in the Cloud Dragon’s lair, surrounded by the most massive mana in the world. It’s really unsettling.’
If the Silent Swordsman somehow gained the Cloud Dragon’s favor and broke free from her mana limits, or received a buff to restore her mana at an extreme rate,
there would be no way to stop her disciple training without a full national mobilization order.
“Defeating that unicorn alone... Even without Armored, doing it single-handedly... I couldn’t believe it if it weren’t for you, Master.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already learned her swordsmanship, anticipating this day. The methods of countering her will be invaluable when the time comes.”
Lee Hye-chan had never avoided the Silent Swordsman’s raid battle senses in Half-Demon Valley.
Though he was forced to log out repeatedly due to the incredible finesse of her mana manipulation, he had always studied her swordsmanship with his body.
‘For me, who only has talent in swordsmanship, it’s impossible to overcome that superior swordsmanship. But my best disciple, Armored Great King, is different.’
Swordsmanship and mana manipulation.
Lee Hye-chan, with his talent, could follow the swordsmanship while Armored Great King’s advanced mech could make up for the missing mana manipulation.
Master and disciple, together they formed the greatest power in Gladiator Training’s rankings.
‘Demon Swordmaster. No matter what you’re doing in the Dragon’s palace, time is not on your side. I, too, am known as the nightmare of those who failed in the arena, the infamous Demon Swordmaster.’
Using Lee Hye-chan’s body, the Silent Swordsman’s countless techniques began to be recreated.
The Armored Great King's mechanical eyes began to read the flow of mana manipulation from Lee Hye-chan’s thoughts, synchronizing with the techniques.
“Have you reached it?”
“A hurricane is approaching the kingdom. I will test it against this.”
Armored Great King faced the wrath of the wind spirits, the giant storm, and entered the land with unyielding momentum.
<5th generation extra-large Armored Frame>
<Emperor’s exclusive specification extra-large human combat mech>
<Mobile flying Armored Cheongdeok Palace>
<Integrated control processing> <Analysis - *Cheon-Ae Sword* Final Strike> <Reproduction - *Mancheon Yoram*>
A colossal storm of energy filled the sky.
The massive mana was manifested through Cheon-Ae Sword’s Final Strike.
The destructive storm that ravaged the land stopped.
It was caught up to.
For the first time, the Silent Swordsman’s strength had been matched.
Lee Hye-chan couldn’t hide his smile.
The Cloud Dragon’s days were always calm like the clouds.
Watching Ha Eung Eung, or keeping an eye on faraway lands, the Cloud Dragon leisurely drifted like a cloud above everyone’s heads.
The presence, deliberately concealed, was so natural that Eom Gil-dong almost fainted when he heard the voice above his head.
“One branch of the storm has stopped.”
“Ugh!”
[Is that the storm that was started by the wrath of the wind spirits?]
“Yes, the vast wind that covered the sky was spread by the strength of the earth’s children. The arrogance of humans angered the spirits, but the strength of humans calmed the fury.”
“Isn’t that Lee Hye-chan?”
[Was he really that strong?]
Ha Eung Eung didn’t know, but Eom Gil-dong did.
He knew just how amazing Lee Hye-chan was.
“That guy, even though he occasionally donates during the stream, is actually a monster in Gladiator Training with the number one ranked disciple.”
“Armored Great King... You know the earth-born Armored covered in metal, huh... You’ve got a good eye for a useless servant...”
“...”
Haha.The Dragon’s so casually throwing in a deal.Stop the mass slaughter!
“Well, if they’ve calmed the storm, it looks like the new meta that had just begun will also end. It’ll be much harder to challenge now.”
“You want to challenge Armored Great King... This is bad news for you... The wind spirits took a deep interest in the power of Armored Typhoon...”
“No! Are you telling me that those metal beasts are receiving the spirits’ blessings now?!”
It was unreasonable.
These metal creatures, like the thousand-year kingdom of the ponies, seemed to be planning to milk the game for another thousand years.
“At this rate, we’ll lose. We need to ask the Cloud Dragon for help, Silent Swordsman!”
Having provoked them first, it would be humiliating to lose to those who had taunted them.
Rather than being mocked by Lee Hye-chan, it would be better to extend Eom Gil-dong’s “Perge Day” where he could cross any line!
“Do you still want to make a wish...”
[It’s not a wish, but I do have one request.]
Ha Eung Eung felt a sense of urgency from Eom Gil-dong’s desperate plea.
Training was fine, but he knew they needed to win the battle first.
The Cloud Dragon asked.
“What is the request...?”
[Please train me.]
“?”
“Silent Swordsman?”
What is this kid talking about??No idea.
Everyone’s heads tilted in confusion.
