Chapter 98 – The Trial of the Movie Spirit (4)
There’s no compromise with those guys.
But I still have a chance.
I quickly assessed the situation and put on a relieved smile to reassure Hong Yeon-hwa and Paeng So-so, who looked disappointed.
As soon as the dimensional portal closed, my body twisted uncontrollably, but I wasn’t hurt. Time had reversed, and my wounds had disappeared. My body was fine now.
The problem was the intense pain from the poison I had experienced at the end.
“Ugh….”
I took a moment to catch my breath and gritted my teeth. Maybe it was because I had been addicted to it for so long. Fortunately, the phantom pain quickly subsided.
I don’t know if there will be another regression, but I need to be careful with the poison. I remember there’s a master who seems to be a survivor of the Four Heavenly Kings ahead.
I lifted my Mu-ryung martial arts and ran towards the unexplored back, but stopped.
Is it right to go this way?
The front was annoying with poison and memorization, but it was manageable. But what about the back? I don’t know anything.
Maybe it’s a harder place than any other direction. It might be better to break through the front that I know.
After a moment of hesitation, I ran towards the front again.
.
.
.
.
.
I was stupid. It was true that I could go further than before because I had experienced it once and was already wary of memorization.
Until that poison guy said that the one who retreated to his subordinates would be used as his experimental subject.
No matter how much of a first-class warrior he was, it was difficult to deal with ten people at once. I can’t exert overwhelming power like before.
Moreover, he even used the corpses of his dead colleagues as shields or threw them from afar to interfere with my movements, making it impossible for me to move easily.
With my movements restricted, I couldn’t avoid it properly and was stabbed in the heart with a dagger.

“Cheonma! Cheonma has returned!”
“Ugh!”
This is the fifth time. This time, I could instinctively tell when I was regressing. Maybe it won’t stop until I get out of this situation.
After freeing Hong Yeon-hwa and Paeng So-so and thinking about such a ridiculous idea of reincarnation and infinite regression, I ran towards the unexplored back.
In the back, there was a man with a shaved head and a long beard.
Despite his unique size and momentum, I noticed that he was an elite warrior and tried to avoid him by throwing myself into the midst of easy enemies.
But the guy with the golden energy unique to the Unbeatable crushed everything in his way like a human tank and ran straight towards me.
I recognized his technique – the Kong-Fu-Dong-Shin-Bup, the unbreakable body technique of the famous warrior, Sollim. He could control acceleration and deceleration freely and use the resulting inertia to enhance his attacks.
I had no choice but to fight him, but… the result was one-sided.
Sollim’s unique external martial arts made his body so tough that my sword couldn’t even penetrate it properly.
Just like the first-class warriors I had faced before, I could only cut off his skin and muscles at best.
Of course, when my sword collided with his fortified arms, it bounced back.
In the end, I couldn’t overcome his power and toughness, and my head was crushed, killing me.

6th time.
It was fortunate that the encirclement was spread out quite a distance.
After the dimensional portal closed, I had time to calm down and think.
To summarize:
Left – Few troops, no top-notch warriors, but the supreme martial artist, the Divine Murim Prince, is there.
Right – A lot of troops, several top-notch warriors.
Front – Moderate troops, a top-notch warrior who uses poison and memorization, and a blind first-class warrior who charges blindly.
Back – Moderate troops, a top-notch warrior who is unbeatable head-on like a human tank.
That’s the feeling.
The left is out of the question, and if I want to escape completely, the right is probably the best choice since the Divine Murim Prince and his men will think the same way.
Okay. From now on, I’ll only go to the right.
…But I lost my concentration halfway and made a mistake.
As soon as the attacks stopped for a moment, I was quickly overwhelmed by the tide of enemies. One by one, my arms were cut, and I became defenseless.
I lost too much blood. In a daze, someone came and cut my carotid artery, killing me.
***
7th time.
I regained my focus and maintained a partial advantage as I continued to push forward.
But it was a little too late. Before I couldrealize it, I was surrounded by a group of first-class warriors.
One of them was a woman with a voluptuous figure and a seductive gaze. She was wearing revealing clothes that accentuated her curves and had a confident smirk on her face.
“You’re quite the fighter, aren’t you? But you’re no match for me,” she said, licking her lips.
I could feel my arousal building up as she approached me, her breasts bouncing with each step.
She grabbed my crotch and whispered in my ear, “I can make you feel good, baby. Just give in to me.”
I tried to resist, but her touch was too much for me to handle. She pushed me down and straddled me, grinding her hips against mine.
I could feel her wetness through her thin clothes, and I couldn’t help but moan in pleasure.
She leaned down and kissed me deeply, her tongue exploring my mouth. I could taste the sweetness of her lips and the scent of her arousal.
She pulled away and whispered, “You’re mine now. You belong to me.”
I couldn’t resist her any longer. I gave in to my carnal desires and thrust into her, feeling her walls clench around me.
We moved together in a rhythm of passion, our bodies slick with sweat and lotion.
As we reached our climax, she dug her nails into my back and left a hickey on my neck.
“You’re mine now,” she repeated, and I knew she was right. I was hers, body and soul.
***
8th time.
I was more cautious this time, avoiding the seductive woman and her group of first-class warriors.
But I was too focused on avoiding them that I didn’t notice the group of second-class warriors sneaking up on me.
They attacked me from behind, and I was caught off guard. I tried to fight back, but there were too many of them.
They pinned me down and took turns thrusting into me, their cocks filling me up and making me moan in pleasure and pain.
I could feel their cum filling me up, dripping down my thighs.
When they were done, they left me there, used and abused.
I lay there, feeling dirty and violated, but also strangely aroused.
I knew I had to keep going, to keep fighting, but I couldn’t help but feel a sense of defeat.
How many more times would I have to die before I could escape this endless cycle of regression and reincarnation?
As soon as he realized he was addicted to the poison, he unleashed his inner strength and committed suicide.
***
Chapter 9.
Success! After all the trial and error, I finally succeeded in breaking through the encirclement!
Of course, they’ll catch up soon. But at least I can outrun the first-class ones, so the burden will significantly decrease.
Thanks to the Golden Bell Iron Body technique or the fact that I killed everything in my way, I was the first to be hit by the monster that came running towards me.
My spine twisted, and I died instantly, but I could smile at the last moment.
I’ll do better next time.
***
Chapter 10.
I rolled quickly to the side and avoided the monster’s fist coming from behind.
I shouldn’t have done that.
The Golden Bell Iron Body technique’s characteristics are free acceleration and sudden braking. When I rolled on the ground, I turned 90 degrees and kicked it.
Of course, I have a pretty sturdy body, so it only ended with a broken rib, but the problem was that my steps stopped.
In the end, I couldn’t escape from the monster and died, deeply cut from my chest to my waist, pouring out my internal organs as I joined other peak-level warriors.
***
Chapter 11.
I lasted a little longer, but that’s it. My neck was broken, and I died.
***
Chapter 12.
Perhaps because there were fewer people around, the poison addict’s memorization became even more intense.
I died, becoming a hedgehog after being hit by the Manchunhwa Fist.
***
Chapter 13.
I realized that the monster always aimed at the same spot and had the same posture when it aimed for my back.
Maybe it’s some kind of herbivore.
Thanks to that, I twisted my waist and avoided rolling on the ground, and I was able to avoid it.
…But in the end, I rolled on the ground to avoid the following attacks, and the result was the same as before.
***
Chapter 14.
For some reason, the phantom pain doesn’t go away even after time passes. A feeling of subtle pain that accumulates little by little.
But I can still endure it.
This time, I even avoided the monster’s coordinated herbivore attack. I couldn’t avoid death, but I could go much further.
***
Chapter 15.
Fuck.
After dying fifteen times, I arrived at a cliff.
Come to think of it, Hong Yeon-hwa barely won against the ambush of the previous masters but lost her strength and fell off the cliff.
Maybe this is where she fell.
An abyss so far away that I can’t even see what’s down there.
As I looked into that murky abyss, I heard a familiar voice from behind.
“Underneath is just a simple rock zone. It’s even a cliff with protruding shapes, so it’s best not to expect any miracles from a novel.”
“…How can I believe that?”
“I didn’t tell you to believe me. I just told you to die quietly in my hands without making it difficult to find your corpse,” replied Shin, the martial arts prince, in a gruff voice.
If it took me this long to get here, it’s probably enough time for him to catch up to me.
Well, my answer is already decided.
“Fuck off.”
It’s better to just die in my own hands than to do something good for that bastard.
Without hesitation, I stepped forward. And my head shattered, and I died.
I must have hit a rocky area.
***
Chapter 16.
Choosing the right side to break through the encirclement was not a bad idea. But it’s meaningless if there’s a cliff at the end of it.
This time, I headed forward. I died a lot on the right, but in the end, I didn’t succeed in breaking through.
It will be more challenging, but there must be other directions that are possible. I still have plenty of opportunities.
I don’t know what kind of poison it was, but my whole body swelled up, and my airway was blocked, and I died.
Should I be grateful that I died unconscious?
***
Chapter 41.
Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fucking shit. It’s really fucking terrible.
I died a lot during that time.
But even after all those deaths, I arrived at another cliff.
I didn’t even want to hear the voice of that unlucky Shin martial arts prince, so I threw myself off the cliff before he could even speak to me.
***
Chapter 42.
I started to think that maybe I was taking my life too lightly…but I forced myself to turn my head back out of anxiety.
…And then suddenly, I realized that I hadn’t even smiled at Hong Yeon-hwa and Peng Soso for the last time.
I tried to lift the corners of my mouth, but I couldn’t move as I wanted.
***
Chapter 68.
There is a saying that all martial arts in the world come from Shaolin, which means that all martial arts in the world originated from Shaolin, but it doesn’t mean that it’s true. It means that Shaolin’s martial arts are so profound and diverse.
The monster was a formidable opponent that made me think of that saying. However, its pride in Shaolin also became its weakness.
It had a tendency to stubbornly stick to the martial arts it had learned, no matter what the situation was.
Thanks to that, after dying several times, I was able to roughly read and avoid its attacks.
But even after all that, there was another cliff.
“Underneath is just a simple rocky area. It’s even a cliff with protruding shapes…”
“Hey. Let me ask you one thing before I die. Think of it as a last will or something.”
“…Go ahead.”
When was it again? I can’t remember because it’s been a while. Anyway, I remember being asked if I had any last words to leave before I died, and it seems like it was a sincere question.
Despite the interruption, I asked the martial arts prince Shin, nodding my head, “Is there any other way to escape?”
“What are you talking about?” Shin, the martial arts prince, chuckled and shook his head. “Impossible. This place is surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and even the only remaining path has been twisted by Jegal Se-ga’s tactics. Unless you’re a genius with unparalleled tactics or a monster like Cheonma, you’ll end up spinning around in the same spot and dying.”
“Is that so…”
As if he had done everything he could, the bastard sighed and then slit my throat.
***
Chapter 69.
I thought it was fortunate that the encirclement was wide, but now I see that it’s not necessarily the case.
The more I think, the more despair grows.
Really? Is there really no way?
…I can’t believe it.
I have to see it with my own eyes.
If I go to the left, I’ll just end up dying at the hands of Shin, the martial arts prince. So let’s go back and turn around the cliff.
Since the monster’s attacks won’t reach me anymore anyway.
***
Chapter 107.
There were many, many trials and errors.
The words of Shin, the martial arts prince, were not a lie.
There was indeed only one path at the far left, and it was protected by an unknown tactic.
I took a step forward, just in case, but my sense of direction disappeared in an instant, and thick fog rose around me.
And not long after, a sword emerged from the fog and pierced my heart, and I died.
***
Chapter 108.
I couldn’t move, even though I wanted to throw Hong Yeon-hwa and Peng Soso aside.
Was it because of the accumulated phantom pain?
No.
The reason was simple.
I was desperate for a way out of this endless cycle of death.
I wanted to escape from this hellish place, even if it meant leaving Hong Yeon-hwa and Peng Soso behind.
