Chapter 12 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 12

Chapter 12 opens by introducing the 'Shinheung Three Dogs,' a trio of local threats: Mad Dog (Gwang-gyeon), the weakest but cruellest; Laughing Dog (So Cheong), the youngest White Dragon Gang commander who peddles Dream-Soul Powder; and Jeon Taegwang (Resentful Dog), the leader and a disciple of Shin Jae-eon. They discuss rumors that Yeon Sowol has become the adopted son of Great Hero Yi Yu-baek and achieved the 'Breathing Smoke into Clouds' rank in just half a year. Resentful Dog explodes in jealousy, mocking the feat as impossible, while Mad Dog shares his irritation, and Laughing Dog remains casually indifferent, wondering if Yeon Sowol uses Dream-Soul Powder. The narrative then shifts to Yeon Sowol and Yi Yu-baek at Windflow Martial Academy. Yi Yu-baek instructs Sowol to rest for a month to harden his body, comparing it to cooling heated iron. Yi Yu-baek gifts Sowol fine silk robes, a red sword cord, and a wooden sword. Sowol is dazzled by the luxury and the social status it confers, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction and attachment to his new father-figure. He asks about Yi Yu-baek's personal scent, revealing his obsession with fragrance as a defense against the foul smells of the murim world. Yi Yu-baek declines to teach the secret, citing the high cost and personal nature of fragrance, prompting Sowol to resolve to find his own scent. The chapter concludes with Sowol walking through Shinheung County, now dressed in his new attire and radiating a lovely fragrance. Onlookers, particularly women, are captivated by his handsome appearance and confident demeanor. Citizens coin the epithet 'Elegant Young Lord' for him. Resentful Dog witnesses this scene, grinding his teeth in resentment, recognizing that Sowol’s newfound elegance and public acclaim fuel his own jealous fury.
