Chapter 58 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 58

In Shinheung County, public sentiment towards Yeon Sowol is divided; many doubt his claimed first-rate status, attributing it to rumors or spiritual elixirs rather than genuine skill. Yi Yu-baek reveals to Yeon Sowol that he has reached the late first-rate stage of inner cultivation but lacks control over his physical martial arts. He proposes a ten-day training period to master the 'Small Circulation' of qi, enabling Yeon Sowol to function as an early or mid first-rate master and dispel rumors of unnatural enhancement. After training, Yeon Sowol visits Jo Manseok’s shop, where he is given benzoin to create a scented sachet, momentarily improving his mood amidst the county's foul odors. He receives a urgent summons from an inner disciple of Windflow Martial Academy, who reports a potential brawl at an inn involving his friend Jin Geol. Upon arrival, Yeon Sowol finds Jin Geol arguing with a rival, Hero Seong, over whether the 'Soaring Wing Sword' technique can be dodged by the 'Straight-Line Step.' The dispute escalates rapidly as both sides draw swords, threatening a full-scale melee. Yeon Sowol intervenes, calming the crowd by reminding them of their common enemy, the bandits. Hero Seong, respecting Yeon Sowol’s presence, withdraws his weapon but demands a demonstration of the Soaring Wing Sword in the future. Yeon Sowol realizes he has incurred a social debt. He questions Jin Geol, who confesses he does not actually know how to perform the technique he was bragging about. The chapter ends with Yeon Sowol lamenting that Jo Manseok’s warning about trusting Jianghu people was prescient.
