the rabbit to turn its back Sinha high and quietly steps out from behind the tree raising his hands in preparation to pounce at the perfect moment sahyan Dives toward the rabbit but narrowly misses as it leaps away refusing to give up he takes off after the rabbit his determination fueling his every step putting all his strength into his legs sahyan suddenly feels his body become unexpectedly lighter he freezes for a moment stunned as he notices his internal energy flaring outward like gentle Flames enhancing his physical abilities channeling this new found energy sahyan pushes forward diving

straight for the fleeing rabbit with his arms outstretched this time luck is on his side and sahyan manages to grab the rabbit by its two large ears holding his catch sahyan wonders about the strange sensation that lightened his body and concludes it might be the power of his inner energy realizing the potential dangers of this power he resolves to carefully control and understand it later that evening sahyan uses the last of his fire starting paper to light a fire he reflects on having used nearly 30 papers and guesses that it has been at least 2

months since he lost his mother gazing up at the clear Starry Sky sahyan estimates that he must have been in Hunan Province for quite some time rising to his feet he decides he has accumulated enough inner energy to escape if needed and plans to head toward the nearest Village the next day sahyan arrives in gushy County a bustling Village filled with the chatter of its Lively residents he bowed deeply thanking a kind Man Who provided answers to his questions and the man Smiles warmly dismissing haan's gratitude as a gesture of kindness the man hands Sahan

a large dumpling encouraging him to eat taking a bite sahyan experiences a rare moment of comfort feeling that perhaps the Marshall world isn't entirely cruel based on the information he has gathered this Village is located in Southeastern Hunan Province confirming that sahyan is heading in the right direction with the marketplace bustling due to Market Day sahyan decides to purchase some fire starting papers before continuing his journey just then a voice calls out to him prompting sahyan to turn around only to be confronted by a group of beggar children the children accuse him of trespassing on

their territory their voices filled with hostility sahyan watches in puzzlement at being called out by the three Becker kids the bald kid at the front angrily asks sahyan why he isn't responding when being asked a question sahyan still doesn't speak making the bald kid even angrier as he warns sahyan and points at the knot on his waist hayan having no idea what it is asks the kid what the hell the not even means pointing at sahyan the ball kid angrily accuses him of not recognizing the beggar's sect symbol and breaking the rules by begging here

looking at The Dumpling sahyan realizes the kids think he's begging so he clarifies he's not a beggar and agrees to leave however the bald kid raises the stick in his hand and declares he will teach Sahan a lesson in manners with that he charges straight at Haan introducing himself as mayano a first notot disciple of the great beggar sect hayan with his quick reflexes Ducks down and Dodges the stick swung at him he leaps aside to dodge Mayan's second attack angering mayol who swings the stick harder prompting sahyan to leap off the ground to avoid

it Sahan feels like mayanil is extremely slow even slower than the rabbit he had hunted yesterday mayanil admits that sahyan is quite Nimble and prepares to attack him again this time using internal energy daring s hayan to dodge now clutching the stick mayano charges at hayen leaps into the air and raises it to crush him this time sahyan realizes he won't be able to dodge so he switches to plan B and kicks mayol directly in the gut before he gets hit hit by such a powerful kick mayol is taken aback as he is sent flying

backward crashing into the ground and screaming out loud sahyan thinks he might have overused his strength and tells the other two beggar kids that he didn't mean to do that sahyan quickly turns around and runs away as he notices the two beggar kids are now pissed off at him watching sahyan disappear into the thick crowd of people the two kids decide to report this incident to the branch leader after after running for a while sahyan enters the forest feeling safe and unnoticed by anyone he recalls how Mayan used martial arts and realizes that even beggars

in this world are capable of using martial arts gripping the stick tightly sahyan raises his other hand before his chest and tries to replicate how my yanel had used the technique he points out that the way my yanel swung the stick earlier was extremely clumsy though the flying stick technique was quite sharp sahyan then starts developing and thinking of different ways and techniques to perfect the next morning hearing the birds chirping sahyan realizes it's already morning and that he has been training all night today he makes up his mind to get the fire starting paper

and move forward deciding not to linger any longer so leaving his stick behind he walks out of the forest and heads to the Village a shopkeeper sees sahyan and judging by his appearance and clothing asks him if he is a beggar the shopkeeper makes it clear that he has no spare food to give away but sahyan explains that he is not a beggar and is here to buy something hearing sahyan wants to buy something the shopkeeper grows suspicious but notices his face thinking he might not be a beggar so he asks Sahan what he wants

to buy and sahyan inquires if he has any Fire Starting paper the shopkeeper replies that he only has lowquality fire starting paper and sahyan asks him to sell as much as he can for a single silver coin the shopkeeper claims he can only give sahyan 10 Fire Starting sheets for one silver coin a drunk beggar stumbles over points at the shopkeeper and accuses him of lying saying one silver coin should buy at least 30 Fire Starting sheets the shopkeeper shouts angrily at the old drunk man insisting that his price for the Fire Starting sheets is

fair the old drunk examines sahyan and comments that his clear skin shows he's not a beggar though his clothes look months old the drunk man also remarks that sahyan could have bought new clothes with that silver coin and continues rambling non-stop this makes the shopkeeper snarl angrily Furious that the drunk man is ruining his mourning sahen bows and thanks the old drunk for his help and the drunk man waves it off saying it's no big deal suddenly a loud shout grabs sahyan and the old drunk's attention making them turn sideways sahyan is startled to see

the beggar kids from the previous day and with them stands the branch leader the beggar sect surround hayan with mayano pointing at him and telling the branch leader he's the one encroaching on their territory the branch leader is a fat man named bwu whose face closely resembles that of a pig finding himself surrounded sahyan looks a little concerned realizing ing that escaping will be difficult bwu shouts demanding to know how sahyan dares attack a Beggar's sect disciple then his eyes fall on the old drunk beside him bwu suddenly drops to his knees and Bows deeply

before the old drunk addressing him as first Elder drunken Moon heroic beggar the Elder beggar casually remarks that he remembers bwu as just a snot no's first disciple back in the day bwu asks the Elder beggar why he's here and the Elder replies he's just come to beg for wine from the Jong family learning the old drunk is a beggar sex Elder Sahan glances at him curiously bwu explains to the Elder that one of their disciples was attacked so he has come to settle the matter hearing this the Elder beggar unleashes a burst of intense

rage exuding such an overwhelming pressure he angrily demands to know who dared to attack a disciple of the beggar sect seeing the elders terrifying rage bwu hastily assures him it is not a big deal and was merely a small quarrel between children bwu then adds that despite mayano having mastered the 98 striking techniques he was defeated by by another beggar my yanel raises a finger at sahyan and reveals that it was sahyan who defeated him sahyan sternly warns my yanel to watch his words reminding him that he started the fight clenching his teeth my yanel

Snaps claiming he was punishing sahyan for encroaching prompting sahyan to firmly repeat he's not a beggar glaring at mayano bagu angrily asks why he didn't mention that he had attacked first making my yanio look guilty the Elder beggar calls everyone blind and questions how they could even think sinah hyen is a beggar pointing out his clean face bwu apologizes and Promises to settle the matter later while the Elder beggar questions May yanio if he was really defeated by hayen mayano denies it claiming he only lost because he let his guard down the Elder beggar asks

if mayano means he would win if he had not let his guard down suggesting a solution the Elder proposes that sahyan and mayano fight right here and now to see if my Yano can actually win the Elder clarifies that it will be a proper martial arts match and encourages sahyan to teach Mayan another lesson like before after a few minutes sahyan and mayanil move to an open space and prepare for their martial arts duel mayanil introduces himself and asks sahyan for his name but sahyan refuses to answer feeling insulted mayol becomes enraged and accuses sahyan

of being disrespectful he charges at hayan daring him to block his attacks this time moving his foot slightly Sahan s steps with ease effortlessly dodging the charge observing this both the Elder beggar and bwu praise sahyan for his clean and precise footwork mayano swings his stick at Sahan again but Sahan simply dashes backward avoiding the attack sahyan notices that mayol has too many openings and is recklessly attacking without paying any attention to his defense deciding to counter sahyan raises his stick and Strikes mayano squarely across the face stunned by the blow Mayan is momentarily bewildered

without hesitation sahyan raises his stick again and under the ER Beggar's watchful gaze delivers another strike sending mayano flying backward with a loud crash mayano hits the ground and lets out a groan of pain sighing sahyan hopes this is enough to shatter Mayan's ego suddenly the Elder beggar grabs haan's collar from behind and lifts him up demanding to know where he learned those techniques the Elder shouts questioning how sahyan knows the martial arts of the beggar sect sahyan shouts back insisting that he didn't learn from anyone and claiming he simply copied what my yanel did

y yester shocked to hear this the Elder beggar releases sahyan and asks if he truly learned it just by observing sahyan explains that he analyzed my Yan's techniques yesterday and then improvised them to make them stronger the Elder acknowledges that this is true noting that the techniques sahen used was not the first move of the 98 striking techniques but an improvised one he then asks sahyan which sect he belongs to and sahyan replies that he does not belong to any sect the Elder beggar inquires about haan's family but sinah hesitates to answer the Elder reassures

him explaining that the beggar sect has always accepted disciples with complicated backgrounds and never asks about their pasts finally the Elder extends a hand to hayan inviting him to become his disciple presented with such an unexpected offer sahyan remains silent for a moment still processing the information did he hear that right becoming the elders direct disciple could mean a shot a dragon head Branch leader meanwhile even bwu is shocked as he knows the Elder has never taken a disciple before the Elder renowned for wandering the world and acting freely is respected without question as a

martial artist of the highest caliber bwu concludes that the Elder must have seen some extraordinary talent in sahyan to make such an offer after a brief silence sahyan bow sincerely to the Elder and politely declines the offer with an apology witnessing this both bwu and mayano are stunned unable to believe what they just heard pointing a finger at hayen mayano scolds him asking if he even understands the opportunity he is refusing however the Elder cuts off my yanel and calmly asks sahyan why he has declined sahyan explains his reasons saying the first is because he

doesn't know the Elder well and the second is that he has somewhere else he needs to go with a faint smile the Elder remarks that it's the first time he's tried to accept a disciple and ask sahyan where he's heading sahyan hesitates to answer prompting the Elder to sternly warn him not to make him ask twice left with no choice sahyan finally reveals that he is headed to the namun Clan turning his back to hayan the Elder walks away bidding him farewell and wishing him a safe journey seeing this strange behavior from the Elder sahyan

is momentarily taken aback as sahyan prepares to leave bwu apologizes for the trouble caused and sahyan forgives him thanking him instead clenching his fist mayanil declares that the next time he encounters hayen he will undoubtedly defeat him Mayan then asks for haan's name and this time Sahan obliges and answers May Yano presses further for haan's family name but sahyan remains silent leading mayol to tell him to remember his name well instead with that mayol ascends the stairs and heads into the house alongside bwu relieved that the ordeal is over sahyan decides to move on as

well but suddenly the Elder charges toward him startling him the Elder shouting loudly demands to know if sahyan found him inadequate as a master leading to his rejection looming over hayan the Elder asks why he's going to the namun clan and sahyan replies he's going to meet someone the Elder gets so close to haan's face that he begins finding it familiar as if he's seen it before suddenly the Elder's eyes widen with excitement as he places his hands on haan's shoulders exclaiming that his eyes resemble y ryang the Elder points out how haan's eyes are

unfathomably deep deeper and more intense than Yang ryang shaking sahyan by the shoulders the Elder demands to know what relation he has to Yang ryong but before sahyan can answer the Elder declares he will personally escort him to the namun plan leaving sah high and shocked his face brimming with excitement the Elder informs the Jong family he came to beg from that he will have drinks with them later the head of the Jong family tells the Elder to wait and offers him a backpack and some food suggesting he carries sahyan on his back the Elder

insists a backpack doesn't suit his dignity prompting the Jong family head to smirk and ask when he ever had any ultimately the Elder gives in puts on the backpack kneels and asks sahyan to climb on haan's mind races there's no escaping the Elder who oddly seems to know his mother with no choice but to trust sahyan climbs onto the Elder's back as he rises urging him to hold on tight suddenly sahyan feels a jolt as his hair flies back and everything around him blurs the Elder seems to be moving at blinding speed telling sahyan they

will reach their destination in no time night falls and the Elder and sahyan are still traveling soaring through the dark sky turning slightly the Elder claims it's been a while since he's run this much admits he's getting tired and asks how s hyen is holding up sahyan doesn't respond so the Elder lands and asks if he's sleeping to which sahyan replies that he isn't annoyed the Elder tells sahyan to speak up faster next time and sahyan explains he was observing and studying the Elder's running technique hearing this the Elder is startled and sahyan admits he

can't replicate the technique yet due to his limited inner energy the Elder asks if Sahan means he could replicate it with more inner energy and sahyan admits he could but not perfectly the Elder explains his technique expels in her energy from the SS of his feet and sahyan adds he noticed the Elder recovers energy by lifting his foot shocked by haan's Insight the Elder is left bewildered for a moment the Elder realizes that sahyan is a once in a millennium genius with extraordinary Talent he instructs sahyan to hold on tightly again prompting sahyan to ask

if they aren't going to rest the Elder too curious to rest insists on reaching the namun clan as quickly as possible arriving at the namun clan the Elder said set sahyan down and stretches his back both of them now standing before the grand main gate of the clan according to the map it should have taken Sahan 10 days to reach this place but the Elder brought them here in just two now sahyan grasps the Elder's immense inner energy and wonders if he could ever wield such power with such immense energy sahyan believes he could have

his feet gliding effortlessly across the pattern almost as if dancing within seconds sahyan completes the pattern standing before juun his movements smooth and fluid juhun initially doubtful is stunned as Sahan calmly asks if the first exam is over Jun originally a martial artist with the surname hang had earned a respected position in the martial arts World 10 years ago he successfully passed the blue dragon Pavilion entrance exam and 3 years ago he was granted the namun Name by muang himself what earned him the greatest recognition from muang was his exceptional ability to spot unta Talent

today however juun found himself bored beyond measure as the candidates before him were all disappointingly average a few had shown small glimpses of exceptional talent but overall the level of ability was Far Below the standards of the previous year that was until he observed sahyan he asked sahyan if he has ever studied footwork in his life sahyan denies it claiming that he simply followed the pattern laid before him Jun instructs sahyan to step aside and wait for further instructions once sahyan leaves Jun turns slightly and asks chiel wondering what exactly sahyan is chel suggests that

about how they can possibly win against experienced martial artists Jun hearing their concerns reassures them that it will not be a real duel but a simplified match designed to assess their abilities he also reminds them that the goal isn't for the candidates to win as no one has ever managed to do so wishing the candidates the best of luck Jun instructs them to enter the arena one by one as their names are called some candidates grumble in frustration over the test While others grin eager for the challenge sahyan thinks to himself that the more confident

ones must have full faith in their abilities the first name called is sahyan and he enters the arena with determination Jian gestures for sahyan to step forward for his match against the blue dragon Pavilion martial artist he explains that in this simplified match using any striking techniques is prohibited the only way to win is by pushing the opponent down taking a deep breath Sahan acknowledges with a nod the opponent who will be facing sahyan walks up to him with a smile calling him little brother he introduces himself as Nang gangan shahan's second cousin and points

out that he has asked to Face sahyan First with a confident grin one claims he wants to see shahan's abilities firsthand getting into a fighting stance ju encourages sahyan to give it his best shot sahyan also assumes a stance and as the match begins he immediately dashes toward Juan channeling his inner energy into his feet sahyan shoots forward with lightning speed reaching Juan before he even has a chance to react the spectators witnessing such incredible speed are left stunned and wide-eyed in disbelief sahyan attempts to push Juan from behind with his palms but Juan effortlessly

the training ground during the first test raising his hand one swings it towards sahyan but the latter swiftly Ducks dodging the attack with ease seeing haan's quick reflexes chel watching from the sidelines is shocked meanwhile ju realizes that sahyan has already figured out his movements and is taken by surprise when sahyan charges at him out of nowhere for the first time since the blue dragon Pavilion entrance exam began a blue dragon Pavilion martial artist has been defeated sahyan manages to push Juan to the ground the one who lost is none other than Juan the grandson

of the sword Saint known for possessing the greatest martial arts Talent brushing his back hair nervously Juan forces out a laugh reluctantly admitting that he did lose bowing respectfully sah high and humbly claims his victories are mere luck insisting his opponents always let their guard down gyin approaches sahyan and asks how on Earth he managed to pull it off he presses sahyan questioning how he mastered the infinite steps reminding him that he claimed never to have learned the footwork sahyan responds by saying he merely recognized the steps one used as being similar to the ones

performed during the first test hearing this gyin is left speechless astonished that sahyan managed to figure out the steps just by observing them once this realization makes gyin wonder if sahyan could become the greatest Talent even surpassing those he had seen before he tells sahyan that he has passed to which sahyan responds with gratitude gyin quickly points out that there's no need for thanks since sahyan had proven himself more than capable smiling gyin adds that he looks forward to guiding sahyan in the future a while later sahyan steps out of the exam Hall and finds

himself the center of attention with other contestants eagerly wondering if he passed or failed so was spots sahyan and calls out to him prompting him to glance sideways in her Direction approaching sahyan SOA immediately asks whether he failed or passed the test sahyan calmly replies that he didn't fail but rather passed upon hearing this SOA studies his breathing and Aura realizing that sahyan seems to have already learned martial arts before with a knowing smile SOA tells sahay and she looks forward to working with him then turns and walks away way back in his room sahyan

reflects deeply contemplating how his and Juan's infinite steps had distinct auras from the very beginning he recalls that Juan's footsteps became gradually softer as he approached during the match determined to replicate the technique sahyan adjusts his posture and gets his body into position digging his heels into the ground he propels himself forward performing the footwork in a zigzag motion across the floor this intricate footwork known as running on grass without disturbing the blades is the Pinnacle of Mastery and sahyan has just achieved it suddenly sahyan realizes he can't stop and ends up crashing into the

wall causing a loud echoing sound startled by the noise a servant rushes in and asks sahyan if he's all right sahyan reassures the servant he's fine but the servant noticing the dust suggests he change before others arrive with a warm smile the servant informs sahyan that the head of the clan wishes to introduce him to the rest of the family upon seeing Sahan there SOA is taken aback and questions if he has mistaken ly entered the wrong house the family head muang steps in and assures SOA that sahyan is indeed in the right place he

then reveals that sahyan is her cousin leaving SOA completely stunned by the unexpected Revelation Furious SOA demands why she wasn't told but gyin calmly explains sahyan arrived yesterday muong asks sahenk age and when he says 10 SOA proudly declares herself his elder sister muong then instructs Sahan to sit at the dining table pointing out that it will be his designated from now on once seated muong tells sahai in his quarters will be moved to his mother's old room already prepared overwhelmed with gratitude sahyan thanks his grandfather sincerely the family begins their dinner chatting joyfully and

cherishing the moment together for the first time sahyan feels like he has returned home albeit to a new one chel notices sahyan and smiles at him prompting Sahan to ask if there's something chel wants to say laughing nervously chel apologizes for staring chel then shares that she had joined the blue dragon Pavilion at around 10 years old just like sah hen's mother chol informs sahyan that his training will start the next day cautioning that it might be tough at first but emphasizing how rare his talents are interrupting SOA assures sahyan that she will guide him

as his older sister later at the blue dragon Pavilion the candidates who passed gather as their instructor addresses them from the stage the instructor warns the students that they are currently at the very bottom and advises them never to act recklessly which they acknowledge solemnly 3 days into training sahyan is already looking exhausted and worn out not only him but everyone else lies on the ground panting and drained as the instructor gyin yells at them to get back up that evening sahyan lies in bed sweating and breathless admitting the training is brutal he recalls holding

a horse stance without using inner energy and repeating straight punches for two exhausting hours non-stop to make it worse juhun scolded sahyan insisting he Focus only on the basics thinking about this sahen clinches his teeth feeling a surge of anger at himself calming himself down he reminds himself that his grandfather must have endured the same process motivating him to stand up and not waste any time sitting cross-legged and drawing his palms together he begins channeling his inner energy with Focus determination circulating his Chi he heals his torn muscles and expels turbid energy from his body

finding relief in the process after a while he opens his eyes sighing in satisfaction as he notices his Chi circulation becoming more stable each day for days pass and sahyan is seen practicing straight punches alongside the other disciples with intense Focus observing from the sidelines Jun reveals that the disciples have been practicing these straight punches non-stop for the past 4 days while it may appear to Outsiders as simple boxing practice Jun understands that the sword is an extension of the Fist making this training essential among the 13 disciples who joined this term Jun demands only

one thing they must hit the same spot a 100 times with each punch for a typical Prodigy this master my usually takes a month and for slower Learners it could take several months to achieve yet sahyan accomplishes this remarkable feat within Just 4 days completely astonishing juhun the other disciples are equally shocked at sahenk rapid learning unable to hide their surprise SOA feeling envious of her younger brother's extraordinary Talent pushes herself harder to maintain her own goal of becoming the namun Clan's head with a satisfied smile Jun feels assured that the namun clan is truly

blessed to have sahyan among them after a while he tells the disciples to stop explaining they've practiced enough and will repeat the training each morning he then announces they will start sword training which causes the disciples to light up with excitement Jun asks if the disciples are familiar with the three talents sword technique and they all affirm their knowledge however sahyan raises his hand prompting Jun to question if there is an issue sahyan explains that he has never held a sword before leaving everyone in utter disbelief still astonished Jun points out that the three talents

sword Tech technique is typically the first thing taught in martial arts sahyan admits he never learned any martial arts Basics let alone sord techniques which further shocks the group Jun reassures Sahan that it is not an issue and decides all disciples will begin training in the three Talent sword technique Gathering their wooden swords the disciples watch as Jun retrieves his own sword and begins demonstrating the technique with fluid movements Jun swings his sword swiftly slicing through the air in an elegant display of precision and Mastery mesmerized by the graceful movements the disciples watch in awe

deeply impressed by their instructor's skill after the demonstration Juan instructs the disciples to memorize the movements for tomorrow's sword training then ends the lesson that night while everyone else is asleep sahyan is outside attempting to replicate jun's sword movements from earlier recalling the movements of the beggar kid he once saw sahyan notices similarities to Jan's techniques fixing those movements in his mind he begins practicing them moving fluidly and Swinging his sword with control old Precision successfully performing the three Talent sword technique sahyan also starts practicing the 98 striking techniques lifting his sword before his face

he decides to practice both techniques one more time to perfect them after multiple repetitions he finally understands that these techniques are built on the same Principle as the straight punch he realizes the three Talent sword technique and 98 striking techniques are foundational Arts meant to master the basics through repetition when mastered the three talents sword technique serves as the ultimate Foundation making it easier to learn Advanced sword techniques sahyan continues practicing late into the night noticing a slight increase in his power but still feeling as though something is missing suddenly he senses someone behind him

and turns to see a stranger who asks how he is doing introducing himself as namgang Min The Stranger Smiles warmly and calls sahyan his little brother walking up to sahyan namgang men mentions their uncle said he would be here and Praises his hard work he observes that sahyan seems to be practicing ing the three talents sword technique which sahyan confirms Min notes that based on sahyan movements it seems he has been practicing for a long time and asks if he feels something is missing he explains that swordsmanship is not just about the Sword and the

arm wielding it emphasizing that footwork is equally crucial hearing this sahyan realizes his mistake as he had never focused on his footwork while wielding the sword offering to demonstrate Min tells sahyan to watch carefully lifting his wooden sword Min begins showcasing the three Talent sword technique infusing his inner energy into each move he performs a vertical slash followed by a horizontal slash that flows like a raging River and concludes with thrusts so fast it seems like there are multiple copies of him witnessing this astonishing display sahyan is left speechless and deeply impressed Min explains that

the final move is called wind and rain in eight directions a technique involving thrusting The Sword in eight precise directions he then asks sahyan if he learned anything from the demonstration and sahyan admits he noticed how Min followed the sword's path Min presses further but sahyan confesses he was too focused on the movements to observe anything else after thinking for a moment sahyan concludes that the purpose of footwork is to maintain the body's center of gravity during combat when Min asks what he means sahyan elaborates that maintaining the body's Center allows one to display their

best swordsmanship he also adds that he realized the need to carefully balance inner energy and physical strength for optimal results Min thoroughly impressed acknowledges that sahyan has already grasped the concept of centering the body in swordsmanship he encourages sahyan to keep focusing on his Center and refining his footwork as it is fundamental to mastering the sword with a slight bow sahyan thanks men for his guidance and the two head back to their respective rooms the next morning Nam Gangman arrives at the blue dragon Pavilion and is greeted warmly by juhun who asks about his well-being

returning the greeting Min replies that he is doing well and mentions he returns safely Jun inquires if min discovered anything to which Min reveals he found minor traces of the Demonic cult hearing this Jun is startled as his suspicions about the Cults activity are confirmed currently the Marshall world is plagued by sporadic yet violent blood baths primarily targeting smaller sects tragically the sin family was also a victim of one of these blood baths reassuring Jun Min states that now that they know the Demonic cult is behind it they can devise countermeasures Minden mentions that he

met sahay in the previous night and explains how he was practicing the three talents sword technique astonishing Jun he also highlights shahan's incredible comprehension and admits the boy has immense potential noticing jun's shock Min asks if there's a problem and Jun reveals it's sah Hy's first time holding a sword Min puzzled asks Jun to clarify what he means Jun recounts shahan's Feats including acing the entrance exam memorizing the infinite steps and defeating Hanan in a sparring match hearing this Min is stunned and takes a few moments to process the information smiling slight lightly Min remarks

that perhaps it's time for him to relinquish the title of once in a millennium Talent Jan responds that for Ordinary People Min still holds the title of once in a millennium Talent Min resolves to redouble his training efforts which he had been neglecting so he won't lag behind his younger brother sahyan Min admits he had lost his competitive drive as there was no one among the younger generation who could challenge him reflecting on his past Min recalls how at 15 he defeated all Young Warriors at the blue dragon Pavilion extinguishing his fighting Spirit now seeing

the fire of competition rekindled in men's eyes Jun feels a sense of satisfaction at that moment so arrives and upon noticing Min she exclaims excitedly rushing toward him in Delight she hugs men tightly and asks why he didn't visit her sooner patting so's head affectionately Min explains that he arrived late the previous night and didn't have the chance sahyan soon joins them bowing respectfully to greet Min and wishing him a good morning with a small laugh Min acknowledges sahenk greeting and then departs juhun still smiling feels optimistic sensing that a new era is Dawning for

the namgang clan quite some time has passed since sahyan entered the blue dragon Pavilion and he has dedicated every moment to Relentless training sahyan thought wielding a sword would feel different but he started to miss the straightforward punches the current training involves repeatedly slashing the same spot with a sword which seems simple but requires immense precision and focus it isn't just sahay and struggling all the disciples are finding this technique exceedingly difficult despite being fully concentrated each of sahyan slashes deviate slightly just half a fingernails width from Perfection with a deep breath and sharper Focus

sahyan finally manages to align his slashes more accurately than before watching sahyan Jun Smiles with pride sensing he might become the youngest to skip straight to a grade the blue dragon Pavilion classifies its martial artists into three primary ranks based on skill and progress the first rank consists of trainees who focus on cultivating their bodies and D on before delving into martial arts the second rank includes blue dragon Pavilion members who are officially recognized as part of the clan and begin learning family Marshall techniques lastly the elite members represent the namun clan in the Marshall

World manage key Affairs and may receive the Nam gun surname there's no set time frame for advancing through these ranks as promotions depend solely on individual skill and Merit men for instance Advanced a blue dragon member status within 2 years and became an Elite member in just one addition year as Jun reflects sahyan approaches and announces he has already learned the Chang gang day in technique stunning Jun Jun knows that mastering Chang gang Dean is a feat even blue dragon members struggle with making sahyan progress astonishing noticing sah hen's exceptional Focus Jun dismisses the disciples

after a while instructing them to return tomorrow for more training relieved that training is over SOA approaches sahyan and suggests they head back together on their way SOA asks sahyan if he truly trains even at night and wonders how he doesn't find non-stop training unbearably dull sahyan admits that it's undeniably boring surprising SOA who hadn't expected such a blunt answer he explains that their Master emphasized the importance of mastering the basics which is why he dedicates himself to rigorous training SOA asks if this dedication means he would blindly follow their Master's instructions even if it

cost him his life sahen calmly responds that if it would help him improve his Marshal skills he wouldn't hesitate to try leaving SOA utterly shocked watching his innocent smile as he says such extreme things makes so a question how far he's willing to go she asks if sahyan plans to train in the courtyard again tonight and he replies that he probably will SOA suggests that instead of confining himself to the Courtyard he should Explore More of the training grounds her surprise grows even further when sahyan admits he has only been moving between the hall and

training ground since his arrival determined to match his dedication SOA declares that she will train alongside Sahan from now on to shake off her la though initially overwhelmed by his intense regimen SOA gradually begins to enjoy the rigorous training after a week of perseverance however she notices that the gap between her Improvement and sinah hyan is enormous like comparing a single drop of water to an endless ocean sahyan meanwhile continues to focus entirely on replicating men's demonstration of the three Talent sword technique after much practice and thought sahyan finally realizes that slashing isn't merely about

swinging the sword with Force instead of forc ing out his inner energy he lets the sword flow naturally With the Wind allowing the energy to release with effortless Grace he cuts through the air each slash carrying the Elegance of a gentle breeze refining his movements with every swing watching this SOA is utterly stunned unable to believe what she's witnessing sahyan then attempts the final move wind in eight directions thrusting his sword into eight directions with lightning fast Precision so was stands Frozen completely shaken by the unparalleled skill on display suddenly sahyan feels his strength leaving

him realizing he has reached his limit and collapses onto the ground to rest SOA immediately asks what technique he just performed and sahyan casually replies that it was the three talents sword technique SOA unconvinced retorts that it couldn't possibly be the same technique they learned frustrated by how far behind she feels SOA shouts that it's unfair fuming as she storms away as she leaves she angrily declares that during training sahyan should avoid speaking to her because she refuses to fall behind him time flows steadily and Jun who once believed this year's disciples were inferior to

past batches now watches in astonishment as they develop at an incredible Pace among them Jun feels certain that sahyan is the driving force inspiring and influencing the others through his unmatched dedication this site reminds Jun of men who at shahan's age stood like a dragon towering above his peers in talent and ability sahyan approaches Jun Bose and declares he needs a break admitting he can't push himself further the other disciples are utterly shocked by this as they had thought sahyan was an unyielding Force they question him asking why he's resting already and accusing him of

thinking himself Superior believing he wants special treatment calmly and without hesitation sahyan denies their accusations simply replying that he wishes to rest because he truly needs it juhun observes that despite being the youngest among them sahyan has become a leader whom the others look up to like an elder brother for a fleeting moment Jun even entertains the idea that perhaps this group might all rise together to become official members Gathering the disciples juhun announces the conclusion of their training for the day praising them for the rapid progress they have achieved to their Delight he reveals

that starting tomorrow they will begin learning a brand new sword technique however their initial Joy Fades quickly as they realize the new technique will undoubtedly demand even greater effort and resilience with a curious expression SOA raises her hand and boldly asks juhun to reveal what the sword technique entails Jun answers that it is none other than the Chang gang sword technique siong asks if this technique is the namun Clan's revered secret martial art confirming their speculation Jan nods and further states that they will also be learning the complimentary changgang M technique he explains that he

requested the clan head to advance the timeline for teaching these secrets and the request was approved with this announcement Jian declares that every disciple now holds the potential to be promoted to official member status then dismisses them in martial arts true Improvement in Sword techniques doesn't come from Mere effort alone no no matter how rigorous it may be it is a test of raw talent a rare quality that sets apart those destined for greatness from the rest whether it's in mastering the movements of a sword or understanding the Deep principles of swordsmanship talent Reigns Supreme

yet one more element is crucial one often overlooked and that is an unyielding obsession with perfection after a month of learning the changgang sword technique clear differences begin to emerge between SOA Sahan and penong from the northern P family when Jan first encountered sihong he was Tak in a back rumors had circulated that pisan shien hongk father doted on him excessively sparing no expense on martial arts training and rare Elixir Jun now confirms those rumors as truth recognizing that shien Hong's Talent however shien Hong's attention remains fixed on Sahan as he watches him absorb every

lesson effortlessly like water flowing into parched Earth to sien Hong it seems as though sahyan was born with an innate understanding of the changgang sword technique standing before sahen song feels a Pang of inadequate y recalling his father's words that he would someday grow to be the strongest but now siong realizes the world of the namgang clan is far vaster and filled with talents greater as the training concludes juhun commends the disciples acknowledging their visible improvement with each passing day pointing out their progress he mentions some disciples are showing the basics of the changgang sword

technique then announces he has an important message late that night in the disciples quarters of the blue dragon Pavilion sah high and quietly channels his inner energy in deep cont concentration he feels The Surge of power within him realizing his stamina has grown exponentially he recalls jun's statement that any disciple with outstanding achievements can take the promotion test unbeknownst to sahyan he has become the center of attention and the embodiment of hope within the namang clan Whispers spread comparing him to men with some even boldly claiming that sahyan has already surpassed him in potential determine

not to let down those who believe in him sahyan resolves to pass the promotion test no matter what it takes instead of resting he steps into the Tranquil blue dragon Pavilion training ground under the cover of Darkness as he pushes open the large Gates faint voices reach his ears revealing the presence of others within the grounds he discovers xinong speaking with juhun boldly declaring his desire to take the promotion test as soon as possible juun calmly responds that sien Hong will have his opportunity when the time is right asking why he is so eager shenhong

hesitantly inquires about sahyan standing and Jun admits that sahyan is currently on a higher level and will be tested first frustrated siong retorts that while sahyan is indeed skilled he cannot possibly be the strongest among them all juun recognizing the jealousy in Shen hongk words doesn't chastise him understanding it stems from the boy's fiery passion seizing the moment Jun summons sahyan and declares a sparring match between him and sihong to determine who truly stands Superior the martial artists of the northern ping family hold a perspective distinct from ordinary righteous sect martial artists shaped by their

unique traditions this is because the Pung family adheres to the rule of the strong where the strongest within the family becomes the next Clan head though sahyan tries to remain hidden Jun confidently calls out claiming he knows he is there and sahyan steps into view juun observes shahan's uneasy expression and assumes he must have overheard the earlier conversation sahyan faces shenhong and Jun remarks that martial artists need a strong fighting will so he doesn't mind Shen Hong's attitude Jun emphasizes that they are martial artists and says the simplest way to determine strength is through sparring

he makes it clear that this will not be a casual match but a proper sparring session and it will take place immediately with jun's order both shenhong and sahyan take their positions standing firm with their wooden swords ready focused entirely on sahyan siong acknowledges his exceptional skill but resolves to do whatever it takes to win clapping his hands decisively Jun signals the start of the sparring session without wasting a single moment siong charges towards hayan who braces himself to counter siong swings his wooden sword with Force but sahyan quickly blocks it Jun watching closely exclaims

that sahenk defensive response was exactly as he expected from him siong strikes again this time with even greater power and sahyan barely manages to block the attack as the match continues juun wonders how many Elixir xiong received recalling the Pung family Master's favor despite Shen Hong's Relentless strikes he grows increasingly surprised that sahyan hasn't fult aled in terms of strength while this is sah hen's first formal sparring match he has fought others before and as he battles shenhong he realizes that sihong is skilled but not on the level of men sahyan swings his sword with

Precision nearly Landing a hit on sien Hong who blocks it at the very last second taking a step back sihong notes that the attack was dangerously close sahyan reflects on his countless mental sparring sessions against men realizing that those experiences have prepared him well for moments like this observing Shen Hong's Superior in her energy sahyan quickly concludes that clashing head-on would not be a wise choice determined to turn the tide sahyan charges forward just as cenon counters with his own aggressive move their eyes lock in as they swing their swords and suddenly one of the

wooden swords snaps and falls to the ground when the dust clears sahyan sword is intact pointed at xien Hong's face as he sits stunned on the ground shenhong completely taken aback struggles to process his unexpected defeat seeing sahay and exhausted siong realizes he used all his inner energy for the final strike extending his hand sahyan reaches out to sien Hong and calmly asks if he is all right after a moment of silence sihong Smiles accepting his defeat gracefully and acknowledging shahan's Superior skill taking shahan's hand sihong Rises to his feet and openly admits his loss

reflecting on the match siong realizes how arrogant he had been and vows to train harder juun clearly impressed smiles and declares that it was an excellent match he instructs sahyan to rest announcing ing that the long day tomorrow will include sahyan promotion test which has been moved up meanwhile at the gong murum Alliance muang sits at his desk immersed in his work suddenly someone enters the room calling out to muang it is the old beggar Elder who immediately questions why muong has stayed in the gloomy murum Alliance for the past 3 months the Elder mentions

the clan exterminations targeting small sect and families pointing to the Demonic cult as the likely culprit he notes two peculiar commonalities in the destroyed sect and Estates hinting at a deeper connection the first is that 15 to 20 years ago an outsider came to settle in each of these areas leaving a subtle but significant Trace muong inquires if the Elder is referring to people like s jiak of the sin family seeking clarification the Elder confirms and adds that each estate had a room or storage area that was spotlessly clean devoid of any dust which seemed

unusual he remarks that these pristin rooms are undoubtedly important Clues though their exact purpose remains a mystery to them changing the subject the Elder informs muang that his grandson sahyan is set to take the promotion test tomorrow startled by this Revelation muong asks if it is true and the Elder with a mischievous smirk assures him that he never lies about such matters hearing this muong declares that he must hurry back to his sect immediately and instructs the Elder to handle things at the mum Alliance much to the elders displeasure namgang jiin of the namun clan

walks into the room declaring that he is ready to return back to the namun clan his gaze then Falls calls on the beggar Elder and he greets him warmly acknowledging his presence the Elder Smiles mentioning jiin will meet the boy and affirms when jiin asks if it's sahyan jiin claims he's heard sahyan defeated Juan in the entrance exam and is an unparalleled Prodigy even comparable to Min seeing the wide grin on Jin's face the Elder reminds him that his son Min has the spitting image of him nuong then suggests that they should head back now

back to their home back in the namgang clan Jun and chol bring sahay into his exam standing before a small towering steel structure Jan points out that this sturdy looking Tower is made from the finest steel chol offers Sahan a sword and taking it in his hands sahyan exclaims that this sword is well forged Jan tells sahyan that if he passes the test and becomes a member he will be able to keep that sword as for the test Jun holds up three fingers and tells sahyan to bring down the tower in just three strikes without

breaking the sword sahyan asks if he can touch the tower and Jun grants him the permission so sahyan begins running his hand along the surface of the tower carefully trying to understand and feel it better he notes that this Tower is solid and precise and also realizes that with his current inner energy he cannot topple it on his own placing his palm on the tower sahyan begins feeling the chi flowing from where the ingots meet sensing its subtle power this means that though the tower appears to be one solid piece it is actually not with

many gaps wherever the ingots meet understanding this weakness of the tower sahyan reaches for his sword with with determination Jun and chel notice that sahyan is using some kind of Sword drawing technique normally examines use inner energy to push the sword against the Tower with Force but the sword drawing technique prioritizes speed and precision overweight as chel notes Sahan stance undermines the Test's intent which is to rely on raw power meanwhile sahyan takes in deep steady breaths calming himself as his inner energy begins flowing out from him aiming for the space between the ingots sahyan

focuses intently channeling his Chi precisely into that Gap he closes his eyes and recalls how he had been training up to this point all the preparation to be able to cut exactly where he wants pulling out the sword he thrusts it forward with Incredible speed striking the tower at one specific point instantly the tower begins shaking violently and as Jun and chel watch in awe the tower crumbles to the ground destroyed in one swift blow seeing this Jun is completely taken aback however sahyan calmly states that he failed raising his sword and pointing to the

top of it where it has been slightly dented with a laugh Jun points out that he said the sword shouldn't break but it can get damaged sahyan is surprised to hear this but Jun declares that he has passed and is now an official member of the esteemed blue dragon Pavilion juhun then instructs sahyan to go to the blacksmith to get the chipped part of the sword fixed looking down at the crumbled Tower chol admits that sahyan is truly remarkable claiming that no one has ever managed to topple the tower like this before juun claims that

he has seen someone do this to the tower before and says it was the clan head who performed this feat long ago looking shocked chol asks Jun why he didn't mention it before surprised by this Revelation juun calmly replies that the clan had told him not to say anything but mentioned that anyone who topples the tower would become his direct disciple chel asks if that's the reason why the clan head didn't take men as his disciple to which Jun airms so this means as Jim points out the clan head will finally take on a disciple

and it will be none other than sahyan chief recalls shahan's mom and vows that the clan will avenge her sahyan is practicing with the sword he just received from passing the test Swinging The Sword once more sahyan looks pleased as it fits him perfectly last time when he had gone to get his previous sword fixed the blacksmith had recommended him a different sword to fit his style lifting the sword before his face sahyan hopes he can get used to it soon it's been a week since sahyan was promoted to a formal member and usually a

master would be assigned within days of promotion and training would begin but in shahan's case none of these have happened to him as he was told to wait for his master so while waiting for that day sahyan is just doing what he does best he is fighting in an imaginary duel with a warrior he creates in his own mind since the duel with brother pun shahan's imaginary Warrior has become more refined sahyan and his imaginary person continue exchanging sword slashes 10 times 20 times when finally sahyan manages to land a hit at that moment someone

arrives there clapping their hands and praising in sahyan for his skills it's one standing over there with a wide Smile as he asks if he interrupted sahyan sahyan assures him he didn't and claims he was actually thinking of visiting Juan Juan congratulates sahyan for being a formal member and reveals that when he took the test he failed twice as sahyan says he got lucky ju notes that luck is important too but points out that sahyan didn't pass just because of luck with a smile sahyan thanks Juan for his compliment Juan asks sahyan if he was

sparring alone and sahyan confirms he was so one suggests he tries sparring with him in exchange since he hasn't brought his sword sahyan says they should do a simple duel like they did in the blue dragon Pavilion entrance exam deciding to see how fast he can win sahyan agrees to Juan's suggestion stretching his arms juang clenches his fist and getting up in an offensive position dares sahyan to get ready and then he starts the footwork and begins approaching sahyan as sahyan notices the infinite steps Juan is doing are much faster than before as Juan thrusts

his palm forwards sahyan quickly moves aside and Dodges it Juan once again thrusts his other hand and this time it lands which sahyan blocks with his arms juang claims that he put a lot of force into that attack but didn't even manage to make sahyan Flinch and Praises his strength with a smirk ju asks sahyan if he is already trying to beat him and teasingly calls him Shameless saying he has been training for 5 years ju charges at sahyan sahyan raises his hands to defend himself and thrusts an arm forwards to counter Juan's attack Juan

ju is surprised that sahyan managed to stop his attack and realizes sahyan is not far behind him in an inner energy battle Juan then pushes sahyan backwards causing sahyan to fall back to the ground but sahyan applies inner energy into his leg and stops himself from crashing to the ground nervously sahyan says he hasn't fallen yet but one points out that sahyan cheated sahyan defends his actions saying there were no rules against it and that using terrain and situation is crucial for a martial artist laughing loudly Juan praises shahan's cleverness and then sits down on

the ground feeling tired he claims that he has been training like crazy for months and found the training doesn't suit him sahyan points out that Juan's progress over these months is very noticeable Juan admits he is indeed good but then says when he sees men he feels like nobody and Compares men to a star ju then states that he will give up on becoming the head of the namun clan now and tells Sahan to work hard as Juan prepares to leave sahyan says he doesn't care about becoming Clan head and just wants to train as

an ordinary martial artist with him ju stops turns around and strokes shahan's head telling him to go inside since it's too late so sahyan leaves the place for his dorm and Juan stands there silently thinking about the fact that he just got comforted by his younger brother one particular night while training SOA notices Juan arriving unexpectedly and confronts him demanding to know why he has shown up so suddenly it has been 3 days since ju last faced in hayan and during this time he has been reflecting deeply before finally deciding to join the night training

sessions a few more days pass and one day sahyan notices everyone unusually busy prompting him to ask his uncle Jan about the reason for the hectic schedule Uncle Jan reveals that the clan head is returning soon causing sahyan to light up with excitement sahyan bows gratefully and thanks his uncle for sharing this news as sahyan walks away Uncle Juwan watches him fondly and smiles calling him adorable the woman standing beside Uncle jwan then remarks on why sahyan hasn't grown taller after all this time that afternoon Jun ends training early citing personal matters and tells the

disciples to train on their own however before leaving Jun specifically calls out to sahyan asking him to follow as they walk together Sahan asks where they are going to which Jun replies that they are heading to meet his mentor Jun reminds sahyan that joining the clan means getting a mentor and with a teasing smile asks why he looks so surprised soon they arrive outside the namun Clan's main hall and seeing it s hayan recalls this is where he first met his grandfather he remembers the moment vividly how the clan head his grandfather embraced him warmly

just a few months ago meanwhile Jun smirks and calls out to the clan head announcing their arrival with the clan head's permission Jun and Sahan step inside and greet him respectfully upon seeing his grandfather sahyan face lights up with a wide smile which the clan head warmly returns overcome with joy sahyan dashes forward throwing himself into his grandfather's arms for a heartfelt hug however realizing he might be too forward sahyan quickly steps back and apologizes earning a hearty laugh from the clan head patting his head affectionately the clan head notes that sahyan has grown to

which sahyan proudly explains how hard he has been training lately sahyan then mentions jun's earlier comment about meeting his mentor admitting he thought it was just a joke but the clan head reassures him that it was no joke emphasizing that Jun isn't one to justest about such matters with a formal declaration the clan had announced say that he will personally be shahan's Mentor from now on he asks sahyan if he's happy with the arrangement and though delighted sahyan admits he's too surprised to have expected such an honor just then the beggar Elder arrives addressing sahyan

as an ungrateful brat he accuses sahyan of easily accepting the clan heads offer while rejecting his own in the past sahyan is visibly taken aback by the beggar Elder sudden outburst and accusation pressing further the beggar Elder demands to know why sahyan had refused to become his disciple sahyan hesitates before saying he wishes to stay with the namun clan prompting the beggar Elder to sarcastically ask if he sees the beggar sect as merely a den of Beggars Gathering courage sahyan clenches his fists and firmly states that this is his home and he won't leave it

for anywhere else hearing this declaration the beggar Elder remains silent for a moment suddenly a smirk spreads across his face and he bursts into laughter jokingly asking the clan head how he managed to bewitch sahyan so thoroughly the beggar Elder then proposes as an alternative asking sahyan if he would be willing to learn from him if he stayed and taught him here in the clan he offers to remain at the namun clan and teach sahyan the martial arts of the beggar sect although puzzled by this unexpected proposal sahyan looks to the clan head who advises

their distinct characteristics he elaborates that the ancestor who created the mui technique likely aim to fuse the strengths of these two individual techniques sahyan theorizes that the Chang gang Dean sword technique was an initial attempt which explains its awkwardness in some parts he confidently adds that the ancestors must have worked tirelessly to refine and evolve the technique over Generations the clan head asks if this Insight is how sahyan managed to achieve the mui sword technique on his own to which sahyan nods in confirmation handing over his sword sahyan watches as the clan head takes it

shahan's Insight feeling proud that his grandson seems to learn tenfold from a single lesson sahyan observes that the 12th form of the changgang sword technique is for counterattacks not direct strikes and suggests a different stance however the clan head explains in a friendly manner as if talking to an equal that the suggested stance could create additional problems absorbing every bit of wisdom from the clan head Sinha high and diligently works on perfecting his changgang mui sword technique although the clan head wishes to focus entirely on sinah hen's growth his responsibilities as head of the clan

own however sien Hong is determined not to be outdone channeling his inner energy into his sword until it radiates like a glowing blade sahyan observes shenhong s technique and notes that pouring excessive energy into the sword could exhaust him quickly the two charge at each other once more their swords meeting midair this time however siong s sword snaps in two unable to withstand the overwhelming power holding the broken half of his sword siong looks stunned but graciously admits defeat acknowledging shahan's Superior strength sahyan trying to console sien Hong assures him that he has become much

stronger than before taking the moment to offer advice sahyan suggests that siong might be better suited to wielding a saber rather than a sword he explains that siong s aggressive fighting style and energy infusion techniques would align better with saber techniques sinah questions why sien Hong has been trying to master unfamiliar sword techniques suddenly sihong interrupts sahyan his face filled with surprise and asks how much sahyan knows about him facing sahyan directly siong earnestly asks him how much he truly knows about him looking slightly puzzled sahyan responds by asking sihong what exactly he means however

sien Hong abruptly dismisses the subject claiming he misspoke and quickly retracting his words Turning Away siong states that the match was enjoyable and suggests they have another one sometime later sahyan watches as siong walks away still confused that evening siong stands alone outside his residence gripping his saber tightly in one hand his mind is flooded with memories of the lightning saber bestowed upon him by his father alongside harsh warnings not to grow arrogant he reflects on how in the northern ping family greatness is met with attempts to suppress it while here the namgang clan Fosters

genuine encouragement the Warriors here train relentlessly as if their very lives depend on surpassing the genius around them this sihong believes is what makes the namun clan the most formidable martial arts family in the world suppressing his thoughts siong swings the saber with immense force cutting through the still night air he continues executing a series of powerful saber swings each movement deliberate and precise the high in-one lightning saber is the northern P family signature technique though much of it has been lost to time siong questions why his father entrusted him with the saber despite its

deeply symbolic significance as he stands lost in thought Shong senses someone approaching and instinctively turns around to his surprise it is sahyan who seems to have sought him out intentionally Sahan explains that he had a feeling sihong would be here and decided to come and see him spotting the saber sahyan exclaims in awe and asks shenhong if he can examine it holding the saber in his hands sahyan carefully studies it visibly impressed by its craftsmanship he curiously asks why siong has not been carrying such an extraordinary weapon until now siong explains that he has been

focusing on mastering sword techniques which make the saber unsuitable for his training sahyan then asks why sihong doesn't simply abandon those techniques surprising sien Hong with his directness sien Hong explains that swords excel in transferring inner energy to maximize sharpness making them Superior to Sabers sahyan acknowledges this but points out that a saber when wielded with great force can cause devastating damage he questions Shen Hong's decision to give up the saber entirely with a heavy sigh siong admits that he was exiled from his family and had no choice but to set the saber aside sahyan

expresses confusion reminding sien Hong that he came here to study not because of an exile sihong clarifies that his father sent him here as punishment which he perceives as an indirect form of Exile sahai encounters by suggesting that if his father gave him the saber it might have been a gesture of affection not rejection he posits that Shen hongk father sent him to the namun clan to protect him and provide him with the best possible opportunities sahyan asserts that there must be a specific reason behind sh H's presence here urging him to reconsider his perspective

sien Hong appears surprised admitting he had never thought of his Exile in such a light before delving into his memories siong begins to suspect that his father may have sent him away to Shield him from his brothers and to preserve the highin one lightning saber technique to illustrate his thoughts siong raises the saber and demonstrates its unique movements swinging it with Precision sahyan Watches in awe sensing the sheer destructive power behind each strike of shenhong saber technique observing the demonstration sahyan gains a deeper understanding of how Sabers differ fundamentally from swords after several intricate swings

siong pauses and admits that his knowledge of the technique is incomplete declaring his intent to figure it out on his own siong turns to leave but sahyan stops him with an unexpected comment sahyan reveals that watching xien Hong's saber technique inspired a new sword technique in his mind puzzled shenhong asks sahyan to explain what he means by that statement raising the saber sahyan demonstrates with a powerful swing executing a technique sien Hong is left speechless realizing that sahyan is adapting the highin one lightning saber technique with Incredible Precision however upon closer observation sien Hong notices

subtle differences as sahyan incorporates thrusting and reverse Edge movements into the technique sinah hyen has successfully transformed the saber technique into an entirely new sord technique adding his unique touch sahyan continues gracefully alternating between sword techniques and saber techniques blending them seamlessly as performs before sien Hong sihong watches in sheer amazement unable to believe the Brilliance unfolding in front of his eyes at last sien Hong realizes that the highin one lightning saber was never an incomplete martial art as he had previously thought instead it Dawn on him that this was his father's will a legacy

he was meant to complete and tears begin welling up in his eyes overwhelmed siong grabs shahan's hand and expresses heartfelt gratitude for guiding him to find the correct path with a Resolute voice siong declares that he will inform ganin their Master about his decision to train differently from now on filled with determination siong vows to complete the highin one lightning saber and eventually return to the P family with pride pleased by shien Hong's Newfound resolve sahyan reassures him that he has the potential to succeed though sahyan had only provided a small hint to the highin

one lightning saber he is satisfied that siong unraveled its Essence all by himself reflecting on the experience sahyan feels a sense of accomplishment having gained a unique s technique through this process as he p a name for his new creation he first considers highin one lightning sword but the sight of the bright moon inspires him to call it the Moonlight sword technique meanwhile SOA already displeased by Juan's involvement in nighttime training grows even more frustrated upon seeing sihong joining as well nervously sihong explains his desire to train harder alongside sahyan but SOA protests claiming the

space is too cramped for more participants in response sahyan reminds SOA that isn't an official member yet and thus cannot boss others around provoking her anger further realizing the Brewing storm sahyan quickly bolts as SOA chases him down determined to teach him a lesson observing the commotion siong asks ju if they should intervene but Juan casually remarks that running would be great footwork training a few days later sahyan is seen training under the supervision of his grandfather the clan head as sahyan practices his sword techniques the clan head watches in astonishment the clan head is

shocked as s ha high and flawlessly demonstrates the Moonlight sword technique inspired by the highin one lightning saber compared to the original highin one lightning saber the clan had finds sahyan technique not only distinct but also far more refined impressed he Marvels at how sahyan seamlessly integrated Clues from saber techniques into his own martial arts Mastery after completing his demonstration sah and humbly admits that this is the furthest he has progressed with the technique so far the clan head Praises sahyan for his exceptional effort and off to guide him step by step to polish the

immature aspects of the technique later that day ju approaches Min inquiring about how he has been doing recently Juan expresses that he was worried Min might have been away on another long Mission given his recent absence Min explains that he has been keeping a low profile lately due to being fully immersed in rigorous training suddenly one is startled to sense a powerful Aura emanating from men a presence unlike anything he had felt before placing a reassuring hand on Juan's shoulder M congratulates him on the significant progress he has achieved feeling slightly embarrassed Juan counters by

pointing out that men's progress is nothing short of extraordinary men recalls how one once disliked training and curiously asks if his perspective has changed recently with a nervous laugh Juan admits that sahyan inspired him to dedicate himself to training alongside SOA in the evenings Min reveals that he has also been training during the evenings crediting his motivation to sahyan as well he then shares his dream of wandering the world freely Unbound by family obligations a wish that fuels his efforts taken aback ju asks Min If this means he intends to support sahyan to become the

next Clan head Min confesses that he often imagines dueling a grown-up sahyan and acknowledges his unparalleled Talent despite his youthful appearance when asked for his opinion Juan admits that he too wishes to avoid becoming the clan head but worries about sahenk legitimacy as an outsider Min acknowledges the concern and emphasizes their role in supporting sahyan with unwavering determination Min declares his personal commitment to ensuring that sahyan becomes the next Clan head
