Chapter 37 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 37

Yi Yu-baek instructs Yeon Sowol in the 'Sword Fingers' technique, explaining that while the right hand wields the sword, the left must 'hold oneself' to maintain mental clarity and bodily control. Yeon Sowol intuitively grasps the Daoist principle of balancing force with stability, likening it to a cat correcting its fall. They proceed to combat training on a training ground. Yi Yu-baek strikes Yeon Sowol with a practice sword; the first blow numbs Yeon Sowol's palm, causing him to drop his weapon and suffer bone-twisting impact because he failed to 'hold himself.' Yi Yu-baek questions why he didn't stabilize himself, noting that true martial force requires calculating received force. On the third attempt, Yeon Sowol maintains his stance despite severe pain and bleeding palms, successfully generating rudimentary martial force at an unprecedented speed. Yi Yu-baek, impressed by the disciple's rapid awakening but concerned by his reckless endurance, tests Yeon Sowol's restraint by offering to continue training. Yeon Sowol wisely chooses to rest, averting a harsh lesson on overexertion. They shift topics to their mission; Yi Yu-baek confirms the plan to kill Seo Mu-ryang and implies Hang In-u's safety will follow, alleviating Yeon Sowol’s earlier anxiety. Yeon Sowol expresses gratitude, feeling a sense of relief as his pain eases. Finally, Yeon Sowol asks how to judge right and wrong in ambiguous situations. Yi Yu-baek advises that repaying both kindness and grudges is a reliable moral compass. The chapter concludes with Yi Yu-baek bandaging Yeon Sowol's injured hand, marking a moment of quiet care in the April setting.
