Chapter 232: Ascension
-Isn't it Chidori, not Thunderclap Flash?
-Lightning··· he said he cut···
-Since there's no sword, Chidori is right ㅇㅇ
-Why does that matter, you otaku bastards
"Oh my! The technique na is a critical matter!"
-Critical matter ㅇㅈㄹㅋㅋㅋ
-It is true though
-Supernatural abilities don't activate if you get the technique na wrong
-Oh, I understand perfectly ㅇㅇ
Viewers chattering about what technique Baek Woohyun used. Along with Jeong Nayeon sneakily joining in and fanning the flas.
Having seen the sight of even Jicheon, a Division 1 League pro player, being cut down in one stroke before Baek Woohyun, they excitedly chattered about this and that.
As always, it had no particular substance. What did it matter what technique na he hadn't even shouted?
In fact, they too knew very well that the discussion they were having now—Thunderclap Flash or Chidori—was truly aningless.
Since the viewer count was so high, there were a few who were serious, but the majority were like that. They just held a festival of random chatter to pass the ti.
That is, until Cha Seongcheol brought over a slow-motion edit of the final scene for them to see.
"Alright, it's ready!"
-Finally!
-We've been waiting long
-Now now, settling down~
-Admiration ready
Playing Baek Woohyun's battle scenes in slow motion had now gradually beco a very natural procedure in the 'Nuclear Tourism' content.
It couldn't be helped if viewers wanted to understand his performance, which trampled opponents with truly overwhelming speed.
Furthermore, it was the sa for the panelists including Cha Seongcheol. Because they could only explain if they could discern it, and they had to make it discernible.
Crack─crackle─crackle─!
The final scene played in a slowed state like footage shot with a high-speed cara.
There, the image of Baek Woohyun transford into a blue flash, blue-white lightning streaming from both eyes and mouth, rushing at Jicheon was completely captured.
He had moved so fast that even though the speed had been trendously reduced, his movents were still swift. Even more so compared to Jicheon, who was at an almost stopped level.
He rushed straight toward the densely arranged Moon Soul and broke through, and perhaps because he focused only on speed, most of it seed to be handled just with his body.
As a result, it was clearly visible that his body was in tatters when he reached Jicheon. Lightning was replaced by blood flowing from his eyes and mouth again.
While viewers were admiring his appearance oozing with a desperate feeling.
Kwa─rip─!
Baek Woohyun's swung arms tore Jicheon into four pieces. As if showing that no matter what wounds he suffered, once the distance was closed, the ga was over.
Imdiately after, he swayed and vomited blood profusely, but that didn't matter much. Unlike him who was only critically wounded, Jicheon had simply died.
Since the PVP 'Duel' mode ends as soon as one side dies, even severe injuries were completely healed, weren't they?
"Looking at Hackphysical's condition, if Player Jicheon had sohow withstood just the last blow, he might have seized victory."
"How could he withstand it?"
"I don't know that either. Haha."
"···Oh, I also know that if I earn a lot of money I'll beco rich, Seongcheol. I just don't know how to earn it."
-Don't know lolㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Anyway, if he withstands it, he might win!
-But this only happened because Hackphysical let himself get hit and just rushed in
-ㄹㅇㅋㅋ If he'd been serious, he wouldn't have gotten this far
[3 seconds]
[2 seconds]
[1 second]
[Second round, start!]
-"──!"
-"[Moon Soul-Command]!"
The second round, which started while reviewing the final scene of the first round, t an even more miserable end.
This was close to being inevitable due to the limitations of 'if you don't know, you get hit' style builds. It could be said to be similar to the relationship between Superhuman build and Thunder God build.
That was because trying to supplent one side necessarily made it weaker in power than a specialized build due to the resources spent on it.
However, ans that could be imdiately noticed as soon as you were hit, like Moon Soul poison, were relatively better than other builds because fewer resources were invested in secrecy.
It was also thanks to the fact that the effect wasn't instant, Jicheon was a pro player, and he had invested the spare amount of resources generated by lowering the combat correction accordingly.
It was just a problem because Baek Woohyun, who didn't want to repeat the unpleasant experience he'd had earlier, crushed it all.
-"······."
Starting simultaneously, Baek Woohyun, who closed the distance regardless of what wounds he suffered, tore Jicheon into four pieces again.
Both before and now, extre pain rose from his wounds due to the tricks Deus had pulled, but it didn't show on his face at all.
As always, he looked down at the opponent he had defeated with an indifferent expression. With the very gaze that made people consider him arrogant.

[This is like doing self-PR to pro teams ㅋㅋ]
After Jicheon Kim Junghee, who beca the signal flare for encounters with Division 1 League pro players, Baek Woohyun continued to face pro players of similar caliber.
All of them were active in the Division 1 League, possessing fa of a different dinsion from Division 2 League players or trainee prospects that only those in the know had noticed.
Enough that the majority of viewers who had broken through the hundred-thousand mark, including those who belatedly received news that he was climbing to take the Challenger Ranking 1st place, could recognize them.
Of course.

[Pro players' ranking points are plumting~]
Even Division 1 League players couldn't handle stopping Baek Woohyun. They too ultimately collapsed before him, in vulgar terms, 'without being able to do anything.'
Moreover, unlike Jicheon, who was the first batter, they weren't even given a chance to show sothing. They were simply sacrificed to the strength Baek Woohyun demonstrated.
This was because of Jicheon, who had unwittingly presented unpleasant feelings to him, who had the mindset of 'if you withstand my attacks, I'll see what the opponent does.'
Unfortunately for them, the hand of one who felt the unpleasantness from 'that side' days had beco sowhat harsh.
Even if not to the level of using full power, he engaged quite seriously to prevent them from pulling tricks with 'if you don't know, you get hit' style builds.
They couldn't withstand the offensive of Baek Woohyun, who pressed them before they could even launch their hidden daggers. To the extent that those who brought ordinary builds actually fought better.
"Hackphysical is just destroying the Challenger Ranking!"
"An unstoppable upward trend. This is a legendary bull market."
"It's a full buy signal, Nayeon."
-Wow ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is this really the speed the ranking goes up? ㅋㅋ
-He rises 2~30 ranks with each win
-Will he really hit Challenger rank 1 today ㄷㄷ
Baek Woohyun's ranking, having consecutively defeated Division 1 League pro players, naturally skyrocketed. At a speed so fast it made the saying that it's harder to raise than tier a joke.
It could be said to be a result created by the combination of conditions like continuous winning streak, MMR that had soared to the maximum, and victories against users ranked higher than his own ranking.
Jumping a whopping 232 steps from 573rd to 341st place, reaching a rank that should truly be called upper tier, what more needed to be said?
Even more frightening was the fact that this speed would never slow down until reaching 1st place.
If Baek Woohyun lost even once, the winning streak bonus would disappear and the speed would drop sharply, but who on earth could do that?
When active Division 1 League pro players and upper-tier rankers all ca even mobilizing 'if you don't know, you get hit' style builds and got smashed!

[Honestly, at this level, shouldn't it be called ascension rather than climbing?]
-Agree? Agree agree
-Climbing: noun/ascending to reach the summit of a rugged mountain or high place. Hmm···
-What rugged mountain or high place ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Looking at the dictionary aning, ascension is correct ㄹㅇ
"Ascension···! That's a good expression. Yes, everyone is now watching the Challenger Road of the 'Nuclear Tourism' content ascending to the heavens!"
"You won't see anything like this no matter which personal broadcast you go to. Because this is a thod only possible for Hackphysical of the 'Nuclear Tourism' content!"
"That's true regardless of East or West. I can guarantee it! Wow!"
-Who could stack this many consecutive wins ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I'm starting to understand why he was accused of hacking on his first appearance, upvote ㅋㅋ
-Seeing this, hack suspicion is understandable
-Since Chloe is guaranteeing it, I believe it ㅇㅇ;
How much must it have been for viewers to chatter that this could no longer be called ranking climbing, that the expression ranking ascension was correct?
The panelists also joined them and praised the Challenger Road and 'Nuclear Tourism' content. Their faces were confident, as much as they were certain it was okay to do so.
Well, Baek Woohyun was too amazing to humbly answer that it wasn't so. Such an existence couldn't be found anywhere in the world.
It was clear there couldn't be two people who beca Transcendents in an otherworld resembling 'Reverse Planet' and then returned to reality.
-"······."
[PVP 'Duel' mode ga matching successful]
[Moving to duel arena]
While the studio was struggling, spouting all kinds of admiration, Baek Woohyun proceeded with the 'Duel' mode ga with the sa attitude as always.
After all, their chatting and conversations didn't even reach him, and to achieve today's goal, the road ahead was still quite long.
For him at 341st place to reach the pinnacle of the ranking, he still had to climb 340 more steps, and to do that, he had to win much more.
If he lost even once, he would have to win 1.5 tis more than if he kept winning from now.
Crack.
-"Hmm."
[Ti remaining until first round start - 10 seconds]
Of course, there was no sign of worry about defeat in Baek Woohyun, who lightly loosened his body while looking at the opponent who appeared far away.
It was because he firmly believed in his own ability. The realm of 'transcendence' was not light enough for soone who doubted themselves to reach.
Rather the opposite, to reach 'transcendence,' one needed stronger self-conviction than anyone. Such conviction that it could even be called dogmatism.
'I am right over the entire world!'
Only those who could boldly shout so could endure the sublimation of supernatural ability, seize authority in their hands, and beco a Transcendent.
Therefore, the fact that Baek Woohyun had reached the realm of 'transcendence' ant the sa as the conviction he had in himself being trendously strong.
How could a pro player who had never risked their life even once shake that!
The range permitted to them was only as far as valiant struggle. Until they broke Baek Woohyun's conviction toward victory.
That wouldn't change even if it were Battler, the current Challenger Ranking 1st place.
-"···Hello."
