Chapter 10 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 10

Windflow Martial Academy students gossip in the corridors, mocking Yeon So-wol, whom they believe entered the school using gold and is now trapped in closed-door seclusion for fifteen days. They joke grotesquely about cultivation deviation deaths, such as lungs burning or organs bursting from heated acupoints, and express cynical jealousy over Yeon So-wol receiving one-on-one instruction from the Academy Head. They speculate he will remain sealed for two years until he reaches the stage of maturity or dies. Meanwhile, inside the chamber, Yeon So-wol practices the Willow Serenity Art, searching for waste and impurities within his body. He finds the process akin to finding a typo in a dense book, enduring bloodshot eyes and dark circles while emitting white smoke from his mouth. He discovers that the Twelve Regular Meridians are connected in a continuous loop rather than separate paths, and his body becomes lighter, more flexible, and stronger, allowing him to hear the wind split with his strikes. Over the next month, he cleans all twelve regular meridians, feeling reborn with remade athletic ability. However, he fails to locate the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, finding instead twelve side paths called the Twelve Divergent Meridians and even smaller capillary-like routes known as the Fifteen Collaterals. After two months and fifteen days, he notices his inner fire weakening at specific points, leading him to suspect these are gateways. At the Guanyuan acupoint three cun below his navel, he piles his inner fire until it scatters like fireworks, seeping into the pathway walls. He realizes the Eight Extraordinary Vessels are not mere pathways but ocean-like reservoirs of innate true qi (life force) that regulate heat. He understands how the regular meridians and extraordinary vessels interact, achieving the stage of maturity. Outside, Yi Yu-baek confirms three months have passed. Yeon So-wol, now in a state of selfless absorption, gives a reflexive affirmative reply without listening to Yi Yu-baek’s call. Unperturbed, he continues his intense practice until the first heavy snow falls, his body heat melting the snow around the sealed chamber.
