Chapter 97 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 97

Rumors of Yeon Sowol’s prowess spread north to Yuezhou, where locals debate his reputation against rivals like Won Huiseung and the Soaring Xiang Sword Wolf. Young Masters Namgung and Hwangbo engage in a drunken brawl, highlighting the local martial community's gossip. Elsewhere, a timid martial artist in plum-blossom robes apologizes profusely after being stepped on, contrasting with the noise. Yeon Sowol and Jin Geol travel by boat along the Xiang River. Jin Geol teaches Yeon Sowol about the poetic concept of implication, using Xin Qiji’s verse to demonstrate how to convey sorrow indirectly. They discuss the unfairness of a young poet claiming ignorance of sorrow. Upon arriving at the vast Dongting Lake, Jin Geol advises Yeon Sowol to enter Yuezhou’s Jianghu scene alone, accompanied by the attractive So Hye, to maximize his reputation. Yeon Sowol ascends Yueyang Tower, where they are recognized and greeted by locals. On the top floor, Young Master Namgung discusses civil service hardships while a flashy companion mocks him for lacking experience in love. The crowd teases Yeon Sowol about his romantic experiences. Triggered by the question, Yeon Sowol thinks of Eun-yeong and, recalling Jin Geol’s lesson on implication, responds with the line, “The weather’s cool. What a lovely autumn,” echoing the poem’s technique of hiding deep emotion behind mundane observations. So Hye notices his distraction as the group absorbs the meaning.
