Chapter 5 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 5

In Shinheung County, rumors circulate regarding Yeon Sowol’s attendance at the Windflow Martial Academy. Marketgoers mock his payment of thirty taels of gold, contrasting it with the standard three taels of silver, and predict his failure due to his advanced age. A middle-aged fish cake vendor intervenes, revealing that Yeon Sowol allegedly killed three third-rate martial artists the previous night. This news silences the detractors and shocks the marketplace. Following breakfast, Yeon Sowol questions his master, Yi Yubaek, regarding legal repercussions for killing. Yi Yubaek explains the principle of 'Noninterference Between Officials and Martial Artists,' noting that Jianghu practitioners operate outside standard legal constraints. Yi Yubaek plans to bribe the county magistrate to settle any outstanding issues, teaching Yeon Sowol that social navigation is as crucial as martial skill. Yeon Sowol resolves to endure three years of training to become a third-rate martial artist, after which he intends to use a pill to advance further and leave the region. Training resumes under Mo Cheong, who is younger and shorter than Yeon Sowol but delivers swift, smooth blows. Mo Cheong, concerned by Yeon Sowol’s severe injuries, advises him to rest. Suspecting a trap, Yeon Sowol refuses, forcing himself to stand and resume training to demonstrate his dedication. Impressed by Yeon Sowol’s dignity and refusal to compromise, Mo Cheong vows to train more seriously, while Yeon Sowol fears what this escalation entails.
