Episode 21: Heavenly Demon Arts (3)
-Dongking wtf? We getting refunds for this?
-Damn lolol. That's 30 million won total at 10 mil each?
-Got wrecked by some deep sea bastard lolol!
-Went to the deep sea and became a local lolol.
Even with the streamer dead and the screen black,
the chat's excitement showed no signs of cooling.
Of course not.
Unless it was competition between fellow bus drivers.
-Deep sea my ass. Didn't you see him use ki techniques? Clearly not a local.
-But those didn't seem like normal ki techniques?
-Fr I'm an OG Dongking viewer—his ki felt different somehow.
-Never even heard of this "Kim Simoon" name before.
-No shit? What kind of creep watches deep sea local streams?
An unknown player nobody’s seen before took down Dongking?
And a Diamond-aspiring combat specialist lost in fist combat?
Dongking’s chat was more active than ever before.
‘Ha… Fuck.’
Dongking bit his lip watching this unfold.
Though curses rose to his throat,
the stream wasn’t over yet and he had things to wrap up.
“Alright folks, calm down. The arena’s already over.”
Dongking steadied himself and took control.
“Not sure what happened, but from my experience, that guy definitely isn’t ranked for this tier.”
-Fr. Using ki in deep sea is crossing the line.
-Right! Even if it’s not ki, that power makes no sense. Can’t be from this tier.
Given bus streams naturally attract loyal viewers,
the chat quickly aligned with Dongking’s opinion.
The unbelievable spectacle made it easy to sway them.
“First priority is apologizing to our patrons.”
With opinions settled, Dongking got to business:
“Normally no full refunds, but this was unprecedented. Full refunds for everyone.”
-Ooo! That’s our Dongking!
-Oi oi, knew we could count on you!
-Dude’s seriously committed to being a bus driver lol.
As chat returned to normal,
“I’ll head out first then. Thanks for watching today’s stream.”
Dongking smoothly ended the broadcast.
The moment it cut off—
“Goddammit!”
CRACK.
His state-of-the-art arena visor smashed against the floor,
the front glass clearly broken beyond repair—
none of which concerned Dongking right now.
“Ki techniques at that rank?! Bullshit!”
“There’s gotta be something! Some artifact or trick I don’t know…”
His ragged voice trailed off briefly before…
“…Right. Gotta admit when I’m beat.”
Closing his eyes, Dongking steadied his breathing.
He was Platinum rank aiming for Diamond after all—
even if he’d tanked his rank intentionally for penalties,
there was no way he’d mistake fake attacks for genuine ki techniques.
‘That was definitely ki.’
