    Chapter 45 Cover
    by son_nobbie Chapter 45 I’ll say it again, though I always do. Let’s talk once more. What does it take to become a master? Talent and effort are obvious prerequisites. Having a direction suited to one’s martial arts or innate disposition would be even better. Especially crucial are a good environment and proper training. Then, in the training to become a master, what must one avoid? That is— “Becoming accustomed.” As I opened my mouth to the wandos gathered in the training yard, those…

    Chapter 44 Cover
    by son_nobbie Chapter 44 People often divide a martial artist’s realm into terms like pinnacle, super-pinnacle, mythical realm, or phenomenal realm, but in reality, a martial artist’s realm is not subdivided that finely. It’s only natural. A martial artist’s realm ultimately boils down to who is stronger, and who is stronger is not determined merely by the amount of internal energy or the number of techniques one can use. Even someone who cannot draw out sword qi can become one of the hundred great…

    Chapter 43 Cover
    by son_nobbie Chapter 43 "What do you think a blank slate means for a martial artist?" "A blank slate?" "Yes. I'm not trying to judge right or wrong, so tell me what you think." "Hmm." In the reception room, as I tilted the appropriately warmed teapot to pour tea and asked, Seonwoo Gang, who heard my words, furrowed his brow and pondered deeply before offering a response. "...A state where one has learned nothing, isn't it?" "Right. That's what most would say." While affirming Seonwoo Gang's…

    Chapter 42 Cover
    by son_nobbie Chapter 42 A week had passed since training began. "Have you heard?" "Hm?" I set down my teacup, looking at Iryang, who suddenly brought up the topic as we sat facing each other drinking tea. "Heard what?" "The situation in the surrounding areas is strange these days." "The surrounding situation? Are you talking about Sado Alliance?" I tilted my head, looking at Iryang's oddly serious expression. It wasn't news that Sado Alliance was showing aggressive expansion—it had been that…

    Chapter 41 Cover
    by son_nobbie Chapter 41 This is a story I heard before, but I'm told that in that distant Western Region, there's something called jar training. It's a training method where you put everything below your waist entirely into a jar and climb mountains using only your arm strength. Since the jar is huge, your arms don't actually touch the ground. Therefore, they give the trainee one hammer to use like feet. By relying on just one hammer and climbing mountains with just balance and muscle strength, by the time you…

    Chapter 40 Cover
    by son_nobbie Chapter 40 The reasons martial artists learn martial arts are countless. Some  learn martial arts simply to elevate their social status, someone learns martial arts absorbed in the martial arts themselves, and others learn martial arts for revenge. Everyone contemplates 'why' they learn martial arts and contemplates 'how' they will learn martial arts. That's why there's one thing everyone overlooks. That is precisely one thing. Why was that martial art created? "True meaning...... you…

    Chapter 39 Cover
    by son_nobbie Chapter 39 Generally, the atmosphere of those who have failed tends to be similar. In a way, it's natural. If they had succeeded, it would be one thing, but there's no reason to be happy despite failing. At best, they encourage each other and prepare for the next opportunity, and it's also common to bury one's face in self-reproach for not succeeding. But from that perspective, the current Muryeongwando's expressions were far from those of people who failed. "Baechang." Seomun Cheok, who had…

    Chapter 38 Cover
    by son_nobbie Chapter 38 Five years ago. Daesageom opened his mouth as he quietly watched the carp swimming in the garden pond, observing Seonwoo Gang sitting with his mouth shut in meditation. "You hesitated again." "......I'm sorry." "Sorry. I don't know how many times I've heard that story now. Do you even know how much damage our sect has suffered because of your idiotic temperament?" Are all members of the Evil Path wicked? Not necessarily. Although divided into the Orthodox Path  and the…

    Chapter 37 Cover
    by son_nobbie Chapter 37 One day before. "I'm going to be a hindrance. Junior." "Pardon..." Wangpal blinked his innocent eyes as he watched Seohwa confidently declare. "It's something you'd know if you think about it even a little. Since I haven't even mastered all the basics yet, I can be certain that I'll definitely be a hindrance. Isn't that right?" "That part is as you say, Junior... but what are you thinking of doing?" "What do you mean, I have to prepare." "Prepare, you say?" "Exactly…

    Chapter 36 Cover
    by son_nobbie Chapter 36 After finishing breakfast. "...What do you think?" At Seonwoo Gang's question with a heavy expression, all the Muryeon Hall trainees gathered shook their heads side to side. "A hundred downward strikes." Finally, in earnest, they would receive guidance from the master who overwhelmingly crushed them. Moreover, when they learned that the opponent was that Senior Un, the Muryeon Hall trainees inwardly cheered. It couldn't be helped. To the Murim Alliance, especially to the…
