[NoName Wizard ‘Birthday Live Broadcast’ Real-Time Number of Viewers ’21 Million’… ‘Unprecedented Popularity’]

The impact of the birthday live broadcast spread in all directions.

It was only natural for the ten songs Na-me sang to climb the Billboard charts.

[Happy NoName Day 😍🔥]

Freya Sky stirred up a buzz by posting a photo of two girls leaning against each other in front of a bonfire on social media.

[What brand is Na-me’s camping chair?]
└ This is a Nameless deal

└ Wait, was it a Na-me company product? Then I have to buy it.

└ The site crashed.

[Can someone tell me where to find double sausage?]
└ There are a few at CU, but they’re sold out nationwide ㅠㅠ

└ I just went to two convenience stores, but there was none…

Meanwhile, there was a nationwide shortage of camping supplies and dinner items used by Na-me.

A related person from Nameless was frantically searching the internet, wondering what was happening as tens of thousands of orders piled in since morning.

Industry insiders who knew the full story couldn’t help but scream with joy.

Yet, even as the Billboard charts flipped upside down and electronic billboards were plastered with birthday ads for Na-me…

[Today, during elementary school lunch, Michael Jackson’s song played, so I took a picture because it was interesting haha]
The broadcasting department kids know all about the Jackson Five ㅎㅎ

└ Na-me sang it during the birthday live stream yesterday.

└ (Original poster) Na-me? Was it NoName’s birthday?

└ There were 21 million viewers; what did we even do yesterday? hahaha

└ (Original poster) How can 21 million come out of a personal stream? The server must have blown up, no way.

└ It’s really true ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└ You still can’t believe it? hahaha

└ Na-me’s popularity has even infiltrated elementary school pick!

The world wasn’t necessarily feeling the same emotions at the same time.

It was just an ordinary day, walking down the street, sipping coffee at a cafe, and preparing to sleep after finishing the day.

If 20 million listeners felt their hearts race to Na-me’s songs…

The rest were just faithfully going through their individual days.

Maybe that’s why…

Before the birthday live stream’s hot topic could fade in the community, a new scoop ignited.

The long-awaited Episode 3 of The World’s Best Magic Duel Tournament was set to be released.

[Let’s dive into Episode 3~~~]
[Finally, can’t wait to see NoName break his conscience, drooling hahah]
[Last week’s Heavenly Demon Tournament Episode 2 was legendary…]
[I’ve never seen a survival variety show spotlight the eliminated contestants before.]
[But can they top the emotional impact of Episode 2?]

Episode 1 captured the events of the first round.

Episode 3 would capture the events of the second round.

In the meantime, Episode 2 showcased the lives of 76 eliminated contestants in a human documentary format.

The editing magic from Director Seung-min Jeong’s team was truly remarkable.

“After losing my wife and son, for a while I felt like damp laundry. Forcing myself into wet clothes just made me feel musty. I couldn’t even give my daughter my full heart, and time just passed by like that. If only I had shed all my tears back then and dried up quickly… Although it’s a bit late, I can now smile and hug my daughter.”

The fisherman who cast his net bore beautiful coral.

“How does it look, cameraman? Do you think I did well?”

Participants who received feedback from the judges ultimately succeeded in perfectly showcasing their skills.

While the tournament may have ended here, it left a lingering sentiment that life goes on.

[The theme of the second round is ‘learning from the young.’]

-Wow hahahahaha
-How do we do this? hahahaha
-Just look at the participants’ eyes.
-Doesn’t it feel like coming to Korea was a mistake? hahahaha

Everyone clicked their tongues at the ludicrous mission.

They even covered their mouths in shock at the martial arts displayed by the judges.

Na-me appeared third.

-If anything, she definitely intensifies it, never dilutes!
-What kind of nonsense is she trying to pull?
-No, no, no…!
-The signature NoName ‘kawaii’ face appears hahah
-Starting with the Demon King’s Horn, what the heck?! hahahaha

It was a move that made one question if a human could even perform it.

[Wings, jump, looks cool! At the end, a vertical dive like an eagle.]

In the midst of it all, Na-me adorably flapped her arms.

[There’s a mattress, soft mattress! There’s also a diving board ready over there…!]

She clenched her fists in front of her chest and encouraged the other participants.

[Wuuu, I brought something particularly fun…]
With a quirky sound effect added, she waddled back to her spot.

Next came Monk Yeondam.

-This is the last remaining sensible person of this era, oh no!
-Where will everyone choose?
-But going with Na-me’s team looks the most fun LOL

However, viewers would never expect what was coming next.

Suddenly, a bombshell was dropped from Monk Yeondam’s mouth.

[The Seventy-two Arts were left as different martial arts forms through slight interpretations. For decades, Shaolin has kept this as a secret, and we sincerely apologize for not publicly explaining this.]

-?
-What?
-What just happened? Monk Yeondam just dropped a bomb! ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ
-There’s no more Seventy-two Arts?
-?????
-What’s going on?
-Didn’t it all just get revealed already?

The fame of Shaolin was a massive asset in itself.

Every time they faced a shortage of funds, disciples stepped up to provide donations.

Through the rise and fall of numerous dynasties, Shaolin always maintained its presence closest to the people.

Even amidst the Emperor’s fallen power and the nation’s chaos…

Shaolin wandered the lawless zones, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and following the footsteps of ancestors protecting the chaotic lands.

It was not just a hall of martial arts.

A beacon to rely on amidst chaos, the last bastion preserving the order of life.

Sitting in the judges’ seats, Na-me also looked shocked at the unexpected development.

-Wow, even Na-me didn’t know about this.
-What do we do now?
-Does Monk Yeondam withdraw?
-Not like Shaolin is currently building a negative reputation.

She momentarily bit her lip, which the camera didn’t miss, closing in for a close-up.

-Oh, we can’t let the Heavenly Demon Tournament fail.
-I will never trust a Chinese person again…
-But it looks like the second round’s mission will proceed as usual.

But then, it happened.

While participants were inside the training room…

Na-me took a step forward and approached Monk Yeondam, who stood before the judge’s desk.

“Then… was one of those martial arts perhaps the Fourth Style of the Cloud Dragon Sky Technique? Or something similar?”

Monk Yeondam frowned slightly but didn’t say a word.

Na-me, amused by such a reaction, wore a playful expression.

“Oh, that’s right, right. Then let me guess another one. The Eighteen Lohan Palm was one of them, right?”

Monk Yeondam looked at her with a bewildered expression, but Na-me had already started moving.

Her fingertips sliced through the air, and her hip smoothly rotated.

Bang-!

Her upper body tilted horizontally.

Her slender leg stretched straight toward the sky.

Before the graceful movement resembling a dragon ascending even finished…

Na-me naturally crossed her legs and promptly stepped into the first move of the Eighteen Lohan Palm.

Bang-!

The smooth curve of the Cloud Dragon Sky Technique matched seamlessly with the intricate footwork of the Eighteen Lohan Palm, creating a swirling aura.

Interestingly enough…

-Whaaaaaaa
-What the heck ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
-Why is the aura moving like that?

As Na-me’s feet glided softly across the ground…

The aura derived from both moves started complementing one another like intricately meshed gears.

The sharp, intense steps of the Eighteen Lohan Palm didn’t break the flow of the Cloud Dragon Sky Technique.

The rotational force of the Cloud Dragon Sky led to a powerful wave through the Eighteen Lohan Palm’s aura.

A footprint born within the perfect harmony of lotus petals.

“Though it’s not perfect, this is roughly how the momentum will form, right?”

Monk Yeondam quietly observed the scene and eventually smiled faintly.

“If you show artistic expression like that, even if it’s wrong, I will have no choice but to agree it’s right.”

Satisfied with that remark, Na-me withdrew her aura.

“This is fun like solving a puzzle. Should I solve all 72 of them today?”

“Haha. Please hold back just a little for our sake. I ask that it remains within a range Shaolin can manage.”

“Got it. I’ll stop here for today.”

Na-me bent her knees, wrapping her arms around one leg in a stretch.

After a long time, she awkwardly stretched her legs.

-Did that just turn out to be the Seventy-two Arts?
-Wow, that’s incredibly beautiful for a martial art.
-How did she transform it from a dragon to a lotus shape? hahahaha
-So flashy!
-Na-me nailed the I challenge successfully! hahahaha

The impact of the revelation of the Seventy-two Arts brought about a shock far greater than expected.
