Shincon’s One Coin Clear

Episode 144. 3-win sparring field (1)

The man with impressive flame eyes introduced himself as Balaam, the 51st rank demon king.

“Balaam, not Balak.”

“Some people get confused because the names are similar.”

Balaam’s appearance was grotesque, as if he were in a movie, but his tone was the most benevolent among the demon kings he had ever met.

It feels like treating the player as an equal person.

-Wow, look at those nice eyes.

– New Face Demon King DDDDDD.

– The tickle is bursting.

– Why did you come out? I’ve never seen it before.

-Let’s see if it comes out after clearing all the soul training grounds.

-Anyway, it’s positive. Because it’s a new record.

[‘Yoon Taeyang Explains’ sponsored 1,000 won!]

[Breaking news] One viewer who did not hear Arasil’s new skill eventually died of suffocation. Netizens are ‘surprised’ by Yun Taeyang’s demonic insensitivity… … .]

-Clarify! explain! explain!

– Hahaha!

– Come to think of it, I can’t see the training seat.

-Moon-nim, please do a cam broadcast hahaha.

-Moon, the other day, he turned on his own broadcast and showed his face.

-Really? when?

-The other day at Yoon Tae-yang’s shelter, they said something about martial arts.

-The story of other streamers is Ben.

-That’s too much… The moon is Nam!

Balaam snapped his fingers.

Then the cube fell on the sun and Balaam.

Outwardly, it was the same appearance as the cube that entered when looking at the test.

“… … My body hasn’t fully recovered yet.”

– Didn’t you say anything like this? Was there any data I missed?

Hyeon-hye muttered in embarrassment.

Taeyang also looked around nervously.

This is because a moment of inattention could be more fatal than usual, as the condition of the body is.

Balaam laughed at him.

… … The eyes do not know, and the corners of the mouth go up.

“You can put your worries aside. Because there is no new test.”

At the same time as he spoke, Balaam snapped his fingers once more.

Aww!

As the hawk roared sharply, Taeyang’s body improved.

It didn’t get better as if it had been washed, but to the point where we could just have a conversation.

Balaam snapped his fingers again, and a chair and a table rose up.

Balaam offered a chair with a leisurely gesture and sat down with his legs crossed.

“Once again, this stage is already over. I don’t have the taste to gossip with players like Ballack does.”

His manner of speaking is not very different from when he reached Taeyang, but there was a hint of laughter between them.

“Don’t you think you like Balak that much?”

“I am not particularly fond of it. Anyway, because of the name, there are a lot of unpleasant things. As you know, Ballack belongs to the very egotistical side.”

Conflict between demon kings.

It was reasonable.

It’s because they build their pride while talking about the transcendental body.

“I’m tired of living.”

At the words of the sun, Balaam shrugged.

“I’ll do the rubbish like this. There are many people waiting. First of all, I need to explain why I created this place. I’m here for an inspection. If a player who made it to the top of the Soul Training Center cheated, at least they should know about it.”

“Cheating?”

“yes. It’s directly confirming that another demon king intervened or used an expedient method that doesn’t fit the training ground’s intentions. manually. A talented person who can become a demon king! khat. Doesn’t that look stupid?”

After he finished speaking, Balaam giggled to himself at what was so funny and laughed for about a minute.

Naturally, Taeyang was just staring at Balram with a blank face.

-what.

– It’s embarrassing.

– Is it the devil?

-I think it’s scary because I’m laughing alone…

Balaam scratched my temple with his index finger at Taeyang’s emotionless reaction.

“I threw it as a joke, but I guess it wasn’t funny.”

“little. not a lot.”

“You have a difficult laugh. It can be.”

It’s not.

I just can’t find a single point to laugh at.

“hmm. As you may have felt during the stages, I am different from the other demon lords.”

“Is it different from other demon lords?”

“I have no intention of hurting you.”

Balaam’s flame flickered.

“not only me… … .”

“yes. I have no intention of hurting all players, not just you. The reason is… … Hmm, if I have to help you understand, it’s because I have that kind of taste and I’m a demon king who has that kind of role. I can explain.”

such a taste. such a role.

Balram was saying that the Soul Training Center was clearly a stage prepared by the Demon King for the player’s growth.

This is the part that I felt while going through the stages.

It was because the perceived temperature of the ‘Soul Training Center’ was very different, even if it was different from the previous dimensional labyrinths.

“That means that demon lords have an intention to grow players, right? Isn’t it just for the fun of putting it in an extreme situation and watching it? And if so, demon lords like Dantalian… … .”

The sun spat out words without a break.

These were the questions I pondered over and over again as I cleared each test one by one.

But Balaam did not solve the question of the sun.

“For now, let’s just say I wanted to see a higher level fight.”

assertive speech.

Like all the demon kings he had ever met, it seemed clear that Balaam would raise the same shield to block the question of the sun.

The heartbroken Taeyang crossed his arms and spat out.

“What happened? I didn’t expect you to explain it properly anyway.”

“I am sorry.”

“So you want to check if there was any expedient in my clearing process?”

“It will take a while.”

Right.

Balaam snapped his fingers and the sunmind flickered.

From the 1st level jump test to the 8th level battle with Balak.

The experience of going through all stages was rewinded ‘one more time’.

amazingly vivid.

“This… … .”

“It is a reconstruction of the information you have experienced by tracing the time engraved in your soul. It is also quite meaningful as a replica. It is difficult to create a new realization, but there is no better way to not forget the memories once experienced.”

To put it into words, I felt like I was a computer that downloaded the information stored on the USB.

To be honest, it wasn’t that fun.

“There were no problems. Rather, walking on the given path without paying attention to the side roads that are easy to fall into… … You deserve to be called a seeker.”

Balaam admired the memories recreated.

“You said you brought that heavy body with you for this?”

“I have to move myself like this so I can be sure that other demons have intervened in my stage.”

“Another demon king intervenes?”

“In the name of sponsorship. It often happens that the curriculum of the Soul Training Center becomes meaningless if you use the authority. That would seriously impede internal evaluation. And what could be more ridiculous than if a player who reached the highest level used an unholy method?”

After Balaam finished his errands, he snapped his fingers and the cube disappeared.

Balaam rose from his seat and asked the sun to shake hands.

“We will meet again on the 24th floor. There are many Demon Kings who want you.”

The sun was impressed by Balaam’s words.

“Am I yours? Even if you say… … .”

“I am sorry if you were offended. That’s not what I meant. There are stages just for a select few players.”

“Chosen?”

“Sponsorship. It’s not a common stage, so a lot of Demon Kings are looking forward to you. It is recommended that you politely decline even if the demon lord appears on the next floor to support you. It will seldom happen.”

-Rejecting Dantalian’s support ended up like this.

Taeyang nodded at Hyeonhye’s words.

Fortunately, it seems that his choice was not wrong.

[8-1 Soul Training Center: Challenge step by step and get rewards. – Pass]

[Achievement: Passed the 1st test, passed the 2nd test, passed the 3rd test, passed the test – Passed the 4th test, passed the 5th test, passed the 6th test – Passed the mana control test, passed the 7th test and realized – Passed the overall 8th test – Clear the self-control soul training ground]

After speaking, Balram disappeared as if he had appeared.

That means he ascended to heaven on foot.

As if there are stairs in the air.

What was a little funny was that Balaam reappeared after that with a puzzled look on his face.

It’s because the white tiger, the human parka, cleared level 8.

I even had to come again because Ran cleared the 8th stage next.

I’m saying this after it’s all passed, but the corners of Balaam’s mouth were twitching in embarrassment and twitching fifteen times as much as Balaam’s absurd joke.

***

The results of the stage performance of Taeyang’s soul camp have been settled.

Sun and Ran are 8 levels, Messiah and Salomon are 7 levels.

The players gathered on the stage went wild.

It was only natural that three players who had cleared all of the Soul Training Grounds in a short period of time appeared in a row.

Among them, the most unusual and attention-grabbing was Ran’s grades.

There has never been a record of a B-class player climbing all the way to the soul training ground.

“How did you wake up? It wouldn’t have been easy.”

“Whoops.”

Ran smiled very confidently.

But it didn’t tell me anything about the eight-step test.

I didn’t ask any further.

The important thing is that Ran cleared the 8th stage test.

By doing so, he proved that he was an excellent player.

After the players’ commotion, Taeyang and his party entered the 23rd floor.

[8-2 3-win sparring ground: win three times in sparring.] -It’s

a 3-win sparring field, so it’s okay.

The 23rd floor, like the soul training hall, did not have all players going through a uniform stage, but it was distinctive enough to be defined.

It is a stage that verifies the results of training in the soul training ground through actual combat.

-If you get caught wrong, you might not be able to get out for several months, but fortunately it’s you, so I’m not worried.

“You say you can’t get out?”

-Look at the stage name. Is it a 3-win arena?

3 wins arena.

It can be cleared by sparring with each other and achieving 3 wins.

Every player on the 23rd floor was close to a decent ranker.

That is, the level is high.

Not all users can be like Taeyang or KK Jesus.

Players with poor control often get stuck in this sparring hell forever.

-The moon was also imprisoned here once.

– Didn’t you cry then?

-Hahahahahahaha I made fun of him for being a bus bugger.

There were three locations in the arena.

Depending on the level, it was a training ground for sewage only, heavy water only, and masters.

Of course, the number of sewage-only training grounds was the largest, and the scale of training grounds dedicated to masters and masters was small.

Killing was possible during sparring.

However, sparring deaths were few and far between, as there is rarely a situation where surrender can be killed faster than a mere two syllables.

Of course, there were times when they died when they got angry.

Salomon muttered after checking the rules.

“If the four of us hadn’t come in together, it would have been tricky.”

“yes. It’s not common to have players with a master level.”

Everyone nodded their heads at Taeyang’s words.

Excluding the party, there was only Parker and one player whose name was unknown among the players who had just moved in.

Ran asked.

“What if I have no one to deal with?”

“huh?”

“If I’m the only one left in our party and Parker and the rest of the players clear it, what will happen to the rest of us? Even if we admit to sparring with the same player over and over again, in the end, it’s a structure where only one person left can’t win 3 victories.”

Even Taeyang had to shrug his shoulders at this part.

This is because users have never encountered such a problem.

“what… … Wait or is there another way?”

The sun entered the arena.

Then I turned around and looked at the group.

“Then who wants to fight with me?”
