Chapter 18 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 18

Yi Yubaek teaches Yeon Sowol the Windborne Drift formula, explaining that fire should be guided by creating emptiness rather than pushed. Sowol deduces the implications for temperature control (drum, pouch, emptiness) and demonstrates rapid comprehension, having mastered the basics in two hours. Initially relieved to study safely, Sowol is immediately interrupted when Yi Yubaek seizes his waist and launches him eleven meters into the air. Sowol screams as he plummets, unable to fly, and is caught and slammed into the ground by Yi Yubaek, who uses the impact to demonstrate the severity of the training. For the next two hours, Sowol is repeatedly tossed and dropped from heights to practice 'stage of maturity' under extreme duress. Exhausted and vomiting, he argues that willpower alone is insufficient for such complex maneuvers, citing scientific limits. Yi Yubaek counters with a philosophical lesson on inner cultivation, asserting that 'spirit is the mind' and that unwavering focus can overcome physical limitations. He references Sowol’s previous closed-door seclusion, where he achieved a state of total mental immersion. Realizing that his past state of 'utmost heart' aligns with Yi Yubaek’s teachings, Sowol’s qi settles, his fear vanishes, and he accepts the training with renewed resolve.
