xXxDarkLovexXx's manga / #martial arts(30)

. Wait for ch 145 Ch 143 the grandfather of mains female childhood friend investigated on mains female self and the report drew some assumptions. That the elder in the shed is someone different from the elder (main disguised) who taught the young adults into hellish training. The drunken elders place had buried momentos (the items that belong to mains past) and they found the girls possessions. Grandfather assumes that the buried momentos mean the girl died, and thats why elder drank. And as for the elder who trained the young adults, he thinks it's the same elder but he changed his personality so it isn't like the past so he can get thru life. He won't confront elder (he's totally assuming and drawing a different view)and he's no longer suspicious of the childhood girl since she's "dead". But it pains him that he will need to let his granddaughter know her childhood friend is passed Ch 141 main won another round and later that night mains master came into the town XD omg I wonder if master will see what main has been doing lololol Ch 139 so the grandfather of the girl was suspicious of mains connection to the girl who never reacted to anyone until main played a song that she knew from her female friend. The grandfather suspected something so he sent his men to check out the house main grew up in to see any clue about where the mystery girl went Ch 131-133 main at the finals and used his martial arts that shocked the elder teachers and they remembered a memory of someone who used a similar move but they dont know if that man is related to main or how main learned it. Main as winner chose the childhood friend girl as his teacher as a friend and want some answers and he in turn can answer her questions. The elders felt main wasted that wish on someone who isn't even an elder as his teacher Ch 118 somehow some misunderstandings and assumptions made main seem like a liar to cover his friend, so he made a bet with the school principle that if he wins the tournament, then principle has to believe his side as truth Ch 112 lol main reveals to his students that he is the 1st senior student of the "master" and master did tell them of a senior who they must regard him as a sub master with the similar teachings. Lolol that scared them but they comply Ch 98-99 lolol main sees his students enter the academy but has to keep his identity a secret so he has his other disciple the red bearded teacher to be his disciples teacher. Red was annoyed hes the same disciple lvl as the other students and will train them hard to see how well main trained them and to show hes the better disciple strength wise Ch 97 hmm I think main misunderstood the girls questions. He doesnt have fellow disciples bc he is the only one. But the girl thought her female friend was not admitted into being his disciple co student and she wanted answers. She and main make a bet that she wants to see his moves when he fights his best at the next competition to see if her questions get answered Ch 92 bleh the jerk higher ups purposefully spread fake news about main being a pervert harassing women and that makes the tower students angry at main. While main had just saved a lady (i think she is the childhood friend but of course she doesn't recognize him) Ch 89-90 just annoying ppl who don't believe main deserved to enter the academy bc of pedigree and lack of martial arts history Ch 88 there is club day where clubs recruit new ppl. Meanwhile the haughty students that bullying main's classmate has their sights on main and want to teach him a lesson. Other higher up teachers heard of main's unconventional fighting and disregard of the rules? That they plan to stage a trial and by the end of it that he would end up humiliating himself Ch 80 main got assigned to a roommate who is popular bc of his martial techniques but to main he is a quiet, stiff, neat freak but main still acts buddy like Ch 73 main got into the academy thru other means and he reunited with his students. They recognized him by his voice, demeanor, and his shackles. They appreciate him since he made them stronger but they dont miss his harsh training lolol Ch 67-68 main gains his 1st official disciple and he arrives at the academy where his students attend Ch 63-64 main is 20 and decides to leave his master. What he didnt know is that his master as lightning sword sect is a one disciple sect. Only 1 disciple per master can take the next precious weapons to be wielded by one person at a time. Main didnt know and accidently took the weapon. Master was angry but saw main's notes that he left master food and plenty of alcohol to have master live comfortably while main travels out in the world Ch 62 aww the students were able to fight off the bandits and they felt so accomplished. But when ppl ask how their training was, they shiver in fear and bad tired memories lololol Ch 60 end of training and they go back to the academy Ch 57 the girl's father has been protecting her from a predator who is their enemy and caused her nightmares. She was young when she was assaulted but was saved on time. But she was so scared and closed off until main (as a girl) cheered her up. But the predator is still out there sending inappropriate gifts to marry the girl with wedding dresses. The father also doesn't want main close to his daughter bc of how strong she was and it would shaken the murim community since main was taught by the unconventional old man master Ch 55 main told his mostly truth of how he became their teacher to the academy officers. Mains pretends to have known the old man and helped him teach the students. The academy ppl felt that bc the teaching was not approved at the academy, the students may have lagged behind but main was offended bc he felt his students gained a lot and grown stronger with him as teacher Ch 51 one of main's students got attacked bc he was mistaken as a begger and the soldiers were annoyed and bullied him. Main goes to the group who holds these soldiers for compensation Ch 40 main grown up i think 6 yrs later? From age 12-->18 Ch 37 main's first out of 3 requests as per their verbal contract is for the girl to get stronger so that one day main can find her when she is one of the strongest and they can reunite. Girl had to leave due to her father's schedule but both of them were grateful to main and main's master for saving girl. Girl found out her purpose and wants to be strong to defend herself and protect others who fought hard to protect her Ch 17 bc main was found testing female wear that old man has main pretend to be a girl to train to be graceful and for some useful skills down the road, and of course money for performing singing and dancing. More new characters appear and coming together Ch 13 lol old man is making main work in the town with labor in making and selling things. Of course old man would still drag main back if main runs away and main had horror experience where he got disciplined via spanking or whatnot for disobeying Ch 11 main found a rare inseng plant and ate it without his master knowing Ch 7 lol old man revealed all that "training" main did was actually housework that old man was lazy to do. He just gave an excuse for main to "train" and saying it wasn't housework, but it was. Main was peeved

. On ch 26 Modern day same world, but is functioning with ppl with abilities and advance technology

. On ch 133 Ch 130 mustache allied with Mongols to cause the goryu to fall apart from the enemies and internal strife so mustache can take the throne as new ruler Skipped to ch 118 end of flashback of main's father meeting the players of the white old man and the evil side teacher who wanted to fight father bc he wanted a good sparring person bc everyone to him is weak except for father Ch 111-112 main's father was working under the evil thin mustache guy when they were young adults for the good of slave protection and stuff. But looks like thin mustache didnt really contribute, only enough so he can have main's father as his subordinate to handle tricky strong ppl mustache wants to get rid of. Basically using him Ch 110 the teacher mentor that was the enemies side was curious about main and wanted main to be stronger. He interferes the fight, saves his student (one 1 eyed guy who killed main's bro) and wants the old white man to save main and that they they teach their students to one day fight. Giving an incentive that he will create an enemy so strong that the only one who can stop him is main. So the kingdom has to keep main alive to handle that future situation. The corrupt official that planned the coup was pissed that his plans didn't go well and his pieces are being turned Ch 99 old white haired man was friends of main's father who also supported the movement of better treatment of slaves. He misses the father but didn't approve main fighting and killing a general (even tho that general was corrupted and responsible in knowing who killed main's bro). But old man hopes to use main's special abilities for the better of the kingdom, showing to other generals that his skills are something they've never seen and can fight the Mongols together as one Ch 87-89 main learned that innocent bystanders have family like fathers that main fought and killed. Main was focused on revenge and it was to kill or be killed. He felt terrible for the kids that lost their father one of the assassins Ch 76-78 so the good guy general friends of main clarified in thought that main's father led a rebellion against the government to make better treatment for slaves. But bc nobles and higher ups don't approve that and they defeated main's father, the punishment was 3 of his own relatives or something relating to the rebellion. But were specifically told not to touch his children. That was the ruling. General pleaded with main that even tho the corrupted officials taunt him by reveling he got rid of his brother's body, it would mean war against the kingdom. Main felt fed up on who to trust and declared and confirmed he is the son of the famed rebellion and savior of slaves, he would kill anyone if they were to find him. He will seek revenge and the truth as he will go to the given location in the woods if ppl want to find him. Meanwhile the officials at the capital heard of this and planning on what to do bc they heard how much main is strong and defeated the rogue generals and thousands of their men Ch 70-72 main passed out from the fight but other reinforcements arrived and the good guys came before the corrupt officials get rid of main. They saw main's contributions and saving the ppl while fighting the rogue tribe was a sign of a hero but not sure what to do since he was a convicted criminal. So the good guys are waiting on word from the higher ups but the corrupt guys who hated main's father want to get rid of him. Apparently his father made some officials angry and father committed a crime and they use that excuse to kill him. But to the point they even aim at his children is someone' else's aggressive agenda Ch 56 main unlocked his ki. His past memories of his big bro and what his bro heard from their dad about ki, it happens randomly and isn't set to come out unless u meet the criteria of changes and stress onto urself that u will be able to get ur ki Ch 49-50 in the middle of execution, there was. Rogue tribe that managed to break thru and reach the village, pillaging it and disrupting the execution. In the middle of the chaos, a man who knew main's father and felt indebted to him saved main so main can escape Ch 26-27 the master forged a slave contract onto the main's friend's sister for gambling cost to someone with connections with the government heads. Main will get revenge Ch 15 huh, main wasn't a slave before. He turned down his position with a job to find the killer of his brother, but could only remember his face, he was hoping to fight among slaves to find him Main is a slave and his young master looks admirable bc he is the son of a commissioner but he is a gambling addict. He would have his slaves fight in an underground ring against other slaves and rig the matches for main to pretend to lose or win so they get the profits. Of course main doesnt get a big enough share but if he doesn't listen, the master would abuse him with kicks. Dude, main is probably stronger than u tho Not shoujo.

. Rereading. On ch 5 Wait for ch 153 Ch 151 unexpectedly, the great aunt of the dang family, sister of the previous head, saw mains mentor the nan mountain and the had history. They fell in love as teens but bc nan was naive to believe her brother and got injured and tricked into not meeting her. She was left wondering where he went and even her supposed arranged marriage was canceled bc her groom was a player and was assassinated by a jealous woman, but ppl blamed her bc her brother ended up spreading the rumor she had a lover and is no longer clean. So 40 yrs they didn't meet until now and he regrets he left her alone and she wants to marry him as a redemption as they still love each other Ch 145 recap, main survived. Meanwhile it's the poison girls turn, her Dang family of poisons wonder how she survived and thinks her as the perfect weapon that no one can win against but they need a way to control her Ch 141 mains female friend who he blushes from and she's the 7th master of the plains, helped main come back to reality after he defeated the black haired icy lady. Icy lady left when main became sleepy from over using his ki. Then the lady of the martial artist family who had met main before and was saved by him explained to other ppl around about main and he's the new wind coming thru murim. Basically saying he's very strong and has strong allies, he will remain so and will be allies to murim unless someone tries to get rid of this new wind that they will be met with retaliating force back, essentially main is protected and won't be harmed Ch 135 lol main did such a good job playing music with the garden director that another martial artist who is known as a maneater wants main Ch 133 meeting day. Side note that the director of the garden used to be a close friend to mains untitled master and noticed his style of playing a song is similar to untitled and they both reminisce the memories of untitled Ch 130 they arrived at the yue garden for a conference but also its a place that not just anyone can go. Main met a couple kids who r orphaned but r very talented in music and wished to perform at the garden Ch 123 heartwarming last test and the ice king thanked main for protecting his lands from a rebellion and offered a northern name blue wolf Ch 121 main saved the girl as they do have mutual liking. Her northern bloodline attracted the icy attribute boulder that has a soul and was using her body to show its powers. But main compromised saying to the Boulder, that has always been the center of the north, to use his body to house its powers and will show that power to others since main is confident with his white water sword and skills he can hold on to the boulders icy powers and wont affect his friend anymore Ch 119 recap, main arrives to save his icy friend bc a group of soldiers who doesn't want her alive is coming soon Ch 108 mains friend who had an ice curse bc of her bloodline used to be in tune with the ice attribute had her curse stabilized by main but doctor had told main it might make her too cold and main is on his way to his friend. The ice friend arrived at her mother's homeland and apparently her mother was one of the 7 leaders of the north and most praised her but some still feel betrayed when she left her homeland when her partner was from the south and fought with strength and won and she left the north to later give birth to current icy friend Ch 104 lol main impressed a other master who know mains first master of the untitled martial artist. I think untitled had an impact to other masters who wanted to fight him. With him gone, then it would be his disciple main Ch 103 back home at the school Ch 93 main met the past master's last disciple who was wild with grief. Main reminded disciple of his master and missed him. Main was able to calm down the disciple Ch 88 they arrived at wudang, the city where mains master who gave the sword to him and wanted that sword to be brought back to wudang. The old man joining main is worried that even tho wudang used to have a good reputation, main should be wary of unsavory ppl who may take the sword as their own but main still made a promise to deliver the sword Ch 78 old man spitting facts to main. Bc he knows mains master the untitled dark moon had took down the top 4 master's of the strongest groups so right now other clans r fighting for those spots. One of them is close by and old man wants main to show how main isn't a pushover and there is someone stronger. Also it was very poetic that the girl secretary mentioned to her master that the ppl with no relations can even gather to one spot of rest and peace. Bc the 3 well known ppl in mains house r unlikely to coexist unless they r in peace and rest with no burdensomeness, which is main is that tree of peace and rest Ch 73 main and his friends live peacefully in his village and his master's daughter finally saw that main had learned her father's moves and she cried bc she was afraid she wouldn't be able to see those moves again. She misses her father as main's moves has been passed onto him. Meanhile the noble family is at war with the blood dragon unorthodox clan Ch 64 ahh it was just an excuse for one of the unorthodox clans to fight other martial artists and kill them in the name of sparring to the death and get rid as many martial artists as possible Ch 62 while at the competition, it was full of bias as the noble family would cover themselves of any wrong doing and arresting ppl based on their clans not from a noble one. It seems like some ppl r leading others to do some dirty work to cause a stir and conflict against the corrupted clan but it will also paint a bad light on the innocent non noble clans Ch 56 main was invited by one of the village noble ladies to go participate in a spar contest with other martial artists and she and others in the village acknowledge main has very good techniques that saved them. And by participating at the competition, he may even get connections and titles for showing his skills Ch 53 they completed the transportation and the veiled lady was grateful to mains help with her poisoned body. She's the younger daughter of the courageous tiger martial artist that mains master defeated. The older sister was surprised her lil sis was cured and grateful but lil sister said she got help from someone else and she wants to be out being an actual regular human as her wish. Main is back at home and the old man he befriended is now living at mains home and entertaining the children Ch 48 during the travel to avoid bandits after the transported goods, main meets a man who is a martial artist but he recognized mains sword he got from the old man named golden crane, and the moves of the dark untitled one that is mains master companion. The old short man acknowledged main and approves his techniques and his ability to know when to fight and stop Ch 40 recap, main is now a regular teacher for children back on his uncles farm and was hired to be a guard for some goods being transported. Main was hesitant since he isn't a martial artist but his student would have to move if the trade failed. Mains traveling companion master was lost in an avalanche when he saved main and he defeated the jade dragon master. Main was upset and promised master to watch over master's daughter but daughter with sick ice curse is convinced her dad isn't dead and will get cured later and go find her father Ch 4 main was saved in a sticky situation and owes the martial artist master. The master wanted main earlier to write down his biography as what main said was the hard truth, that things may be forgotten if not recorded for future generations. In the world of murim, anyone can die and disappear quickly, he wants main to record what he does and why before his competition against other martial artists. Main wasn't confident as he doesnt know of the murim world but master will teach him

. On ch 67 Ch 66 after the auction and the tang lady helped main bc he saved her daughter, tang asks main why he can't take in disciples. It is bc he doesn't age, he sees all this disciples age and die. It was too sad to see them wither Ch 30 recap, current main helped cured the descendent of his savior medicine lady 50 yrs ago and gifted her a necklace as a token for whenever her family needs help, show the token to the master. Main recognized the necklace and helped but was surprised that another separate family clan also knew of the necklace would invite the master, himself, over bc their own family is in trouble. Main just wanted to cultivate peacefully but so many ppl interfering and bc he looks young despite being thousands of yrs old, ppl b arrogant and pick fights when he doesnt obey the "elderly" looking ppl. Main's personality sucks. He doesnt give an F about anyone so he looked like an arrogant young guy. But I think he's so fed up with ppl is bc he has lived so long and missed many ppl that he doesnt want to make connections? But he should at least use his words, he lived thousands of yrs and he could have explained that he has places to be or cause a stink instead of being passive and ignoring. Use words to defuse a situation that will lead up to u being involved. Bc he didnt use words, he ended up on being on ppls bad side and being involved. Jeez boy Chinese = short chapters Art is decent but only for main

. Wait for ch 64 Ch 63 just training and cultivating peacefully with his followers Ch 55 lolol main is so funny and quirky while serious. He prepared to fight the rest of the dark faction and knows he will win, so he created a game training for his subordinates. Training them on only running and he will rank how well they did as they run towards the enemy base and keep running Ch 52 lolol he managed to scare the enemy and offer a ceasefire when he noticed someone being an advisor to the attacks but also not part of the dark faction. Main shows how crazy he is bc he knows he's strong enough to take them, he just wants to have fun when he can and him acting crazy dancing caused the enemy and even his allies weirded out lololol Ch 47 mains goal is to clear away the bad ppl that kills others for their own gain. Main doesnt mind being called demonic but he would at least be a lvl headed demon who can kill the evil but not everyone he sees. He doesn't want to be like his past where he didn't care which target he kills. He will kill only those who has done evil deeds Ch 43 main won and there r now only 5 members of the zodiac still alive. Main knows he's the youngest and can't be a master but he hopes they clean up the dark stuff they did for the previous master raksha and wants them in his group clan and run it since he isn't used to running a clan. But he does ask who may be enemies that may be upset with rakshas death. Thankfully many clans hate raksha so main doesnt need to fight those, only the bad ones that follow rakshas tyrant evil deeds Ch 42 fighting the raksha after he warned the surviving zodiac to stay away so main can fight the great tyrant master. Seems like the main general's didn't know some sneaky bad things happened bc of their master Ch 39 main offers Red monkey and gold pig a choice. They aren't his slaves, but he asks of they will join his side or stay as the razak general of the zodiac slaves. Monkey agrees to follow main since he could have killed her but main treated her and if it was the original razak, she would have been dead. Gold pig is still thinking but knows his situation isn't his own gold, he's a piggy bank and is prideful and doesn't want to be a slave. Pig was surprised that main is both green dog and black rabbit Ch 38 main was honest in what he stands for and does not belong to any faction. He helps those who can be reformed, even tho they belong to the zodiac group known to be tyrannical. Dr is very nice and kind and is very intelligent to see mains pov. Main wants to help Dr in this timeline before he turns into poison demon. He only wants 1 crazy person to go against those who wronged him and caused Dr to become poison demon Ch 37 they visit a medical clinic. Main knew the doctor from his past life where the Dr saved many ppl but suddenly ppl from the zodiac clan killed his family and no one saved him. Dr felt resentment bc the patients he helped were also part zodiac but they never helped him in return. So he became the poison king and learned poisons. Main felt closeness to poison king bc when main got qi poisoning, poison king broke his oath and saved main with treatment. It's like only crazy ppl will sympathize with other crazy ppl who lost faith with humanity Ch 36 lolol main managed to get red monkey under his thumb in prev ch and he had her go after one of their other siblings that r more known to be terrible ppl. Red monkey came back with the green dog mask and the gold pig was confused and is also trapped by mains scheme of either to tattle on gold pigs underhanded dealings or work with him. Lolol now with the green mask, main will also pretend to be green dog. Red monkey was quick to see why main needed the mask and kept gold pig in line to follow main. But poor gold pig doesn't realize this guy is the black rabbit since main isn't wearing the black rabbit mask Ch 33 lol its going to take some work now he took over the other group bc the executives r slow af in learning how to govern so main made the most educated person with common sense in charge for running the place. Main comes back to the black rabbit sect and the golden boar is visiting Ch 30 main got a bounty by another group called the black pearl when one of their men burned down his house and main retaliated. When 2 other men went after main, he defended himself again. So these old geezers r looking at main to make money with intimidation Ch 23 main took control of one of the dark unions and defeated the dark rabbit leader. Mains aim is the slaughterer, the high leader of the dark union clan. There r other 12 union leaders and main is going to pose as the deceased dark rabbit to get closer. He's making some changes in how the union operates as still trying to look and run as dark union but will help the civilians and the executives under main can't oppose as main is obviously stronger than them and main doesnt agree with unnecessary killings to subordinates and working class ppl Ch 16 mains reason in his past why he was called crazy devil. Main was tired of martial artists from all sects fight and the innocent civilians get hurt in the process. There is no reason to. So main fought other martial artists and that's why he was enemies to all sects. But bc a false rumor spread that main was the big enemy against all martial artists, main was painted a big target on his back and was annoying to clear up the misunderstanding so he took it and still try to defend the weak until his final death. But now with his new life and fast track to training to become stronger, he is strong enough to be a sect of the civilians and working class ppl as protector. He told his fellow clan heads of different specialties that if anyone brings trouble, direct them to main. Bc main is the only strong person within their sect to protect them from harm as main would rather get the punches and survive than lose innocent civilians lives that had no defense against martial artists. He's strong enough that he's confidence to take all the hits Ch 13 recap, bc ppl in the town still see main as an errand boy and doesn't believe he's the new head clan, main had annoying ppl dying by his hand that belong to other groups that he too have to deal with Ch 6 main is against the cho Brothers that act like big shots in the town and controlling the brothel and other businesses. Main wants to get rid of them so the town isn't pulled down by their schemes and one of the brothel managers sees the less evil to work for is main as they have a common enemy Ch 2 main ate the pearl of souls that contains other souls of high qi. This old man spirit was angry at main for eating the pearl but mains reasoning sounded justified and so the old man gave main a gift. Main got sent back to 20 yrs ago when main was a lowly errand boy working at a restaurant. Due to a misunderstanding, the town thought main was an arrogant guy who claims he wants girls. But mains original quote was just him interested in listing to the brothel girl singing only I love how serious it is and intense action but with sprinkle of funny comedic dialogue

. Wait for ch 71 Ch 70 they r getting ready, mains allies r on alert when they r prepping for war by the blood arts clan who wants to take over ming clan and rule over it like an emperor and take over more of the continent Ch 67 they defeated the slaughter member head and mains friend realized that main is his friend from the past Ch 62 pfff main realized the girl he thought was his maidservant is actually his fiance and he felt bad for calling her such title. He's masked so she doesnt realize she's talking to her fiance whom she hates bc of his past personality Ch 60-61 main managed to save his friends life but at the cost of his body no longer living and as a jian zombie. His friend didn't recognize him as mains new identity. But main also showed his real power to the poison leader and basically threatened him not to tell anyone what he saw. Poison agrees only bc he felt bad for main. He told main he's his patient first before being a demon cult leader. He talked about how when main was younger, his qi points were sealed for some reason and that's why poison leader tried to cure him. But rumors spread that main as the son of the demon leader may not be suitable to be next in line that that is why he went into the cave as a last resort to solve his sealed points but it failed and he died from overload. That's when mains spirit went into his body and took over. Someone has aimed at the original owner to fail and die. Someone maybe from the blood arts clan who, per poison clan, that is the most formidable with power to take over. Ch 58 main reached the slaughter group palace and while in disguise, he recognized his old clan symbol of a blue cloud. One of the slaughter solders thought masked main is someone part of murim to rescue the blue cloud members that r imprisoned and main recognized the name as his best friend in his old body Ch 55 there was a hidden village in the fog up in the peaks near the sword demon palace where main went to train with their soldiers. Main doesnt know what the original body did in the past but somehow he's related to the creation of jian (red zombies). Even when main showed his worth to sword demon, his future father-in-law, sword told main that main had said the same thing about not marrying his daughter and ran away into the fog. Never to be seen again until 10 yrs later when mains new body appeared back at his hometown in the ming clan. Then he went into the cave alone to meditate. Main doesnt know why original body did in the fog related to the jian zombies, but the fog was very similar to the pleasure palace of dark arts by one of the girls that even the pleasure leader didn't know about. But the hint main saw at the fog was related to the slaughter group as his next destination Ch 45 PFFF lolol main realized he was told he has a fiance that he never knew about. But he had met her earlier but confused her as a servant girl Ch 44 recap, what main learned is that the demonic cult realm is also called the ming cult. But most ppl outside the unorthodox group see their group as demonic arts cult. Even tho mains art is called demonic, it doesn't require any bloody sacrifices. He knows ppl in the cult aren't always evil, everyone has their own situations and controlling their decisions to use their skills for either selfish reasons or to save others. He finished taking over the pleasure brothel when he learned the leader of pleasure is sick and tired of the demon cult and wants it burned to the ground bc all the ladies r either sold or kidnapped out of their will. She doesn't want this place to be a brothel but it's out of survival surrounded by stronger scarier ppl. Main promises his goal is the same to change the demonic cult into the original name ming cult that isn't associated with evil demonic things and where the women don't get mistreated Ch 7-8 main recognized his senior mentor from his past is now old and crippled. He doesnt reveal his identity yet but as his new body owner needs to change his image of what ppl rumored him to be the crazy man. The old man saw mains real ability from the great demon heavenly arts and sees main is capable. So they ally each other that old man wants revenge on someone and in turn he has a whole network of info that is of great use for main. With mains hidden abilities, main can change the cult but advised main to b careful bc if he shows his real abilities, about half of all murim cult members will aim after his life Ch 4 mains only close ally still in the tiny palace explained to main what has been going on since main was in the cave cultivating for 3 yrs. Main took over the body of someone who had a bad personality and luster of women. Main was more aghast that he's in the body of someone of the demonic cult family when his original body was from the orthodox justice group

. Story was interesting but starting in around ch 40s and 50s that the art style became more poor and the plot was kind of long and some parts too quick or missing Ch 98 the end.... it was so abrupt that I think they rushed trying to finish this story. We would never hear about the murim accepting mains magic, main did take a kid in as a disciple but didn't train him yet, everything feels in complete. Blood sect leader wanted mains body as a new vessel as the evil arts will transfer his soul into mains body to gain his knowledge. Main list his gf and used a high lvl magic that is against using above his lvl and in the end he lost his magic Ch 83 main saved his friends and all of murim figured out it was the blood sect and had been fighting them but the sect uses the bodies of master martial artists as blood puppets to fight and so a lot of ppl died Ch 72 the blood sect kidnapped mains gf and blackmailed him into joining them but main had a plan for revenge Ch 69 main tried to resolve the conflict that has been there btwn other factions but someone caused a misunderstanding and it caused a civil war Ch 60 sister friend of plum accidently signed main up for the martial arts competition bc she wanted to see his magic when her master warned her that it's putting attention on main that could endanger him. Main said it was fine and just to be an observer and have a spar Ch 58 at this martial meetup of other martial artists at this summit, main was introduced to the heads of their sects who have a justice personality and would be more lvl headed ppl to understand mains situation. Main shows his magic and that it's different from martial artists Ch 47 he recognized one of the fellow martial artists from the plum blossom sect who he showed magic to. He confied in him that the rumors of a third party with strange martial arts was him. He was assuring the martial artist he isn't into that career path but at the time of the incident with his sworn brother, he had to make a decision to save lives and he had to use magic. His friend understood and is just glad main is being safe and still doing good things and wishes him safe travels Ch 41 main saved his sworn brother and his situation with his sect and main goes on his way to the exam Ch 15 main gave a short demonstration that involves scientific explanation as how he manipulates magic. Good thing the martial artists were understanding and educated enough that they understood mains lesson. They were in awe how main could come up something like this magic but also warned him like mains father's friend to not show his martial arts. They know main learned a few moves out of self defense reasons, but there r those who don't want to hear mains explanations and may misunderstand mains intentions if he shows off magic to someone who isn't familiar with and assume main is a martial artist Ch 14 main takes a casual journey to the exam location, he befriended some martial artists who saved him from an altercation bc of mains appearance looking easy to exploit. Main saved them in return when they battled an evil martial artist. They asked main what that was and he introduced something called magic and describing it as a form of science Ch 9 after sparring with family friend who is a general for the imperial family is impressed with main but worried bc main isn't a martial artist and if other martial artists see he can manipulate elements, they would misunderstand that main belongs to another group called taoists and not many ppl like that group as they are very strict with their training Ch 6 recap, main was an elder mage who couldn't lvl up to a higher circle. For some reason he woke in another world and body. This world doesn't have mana. But he sensed someone having similar mana auras but they explained its for martial artists and the power inside is called ki. Main understood what he was missing from his studies that had him stumped and unable to advance. It was bc of the poorly managed mana is stored in the wrong spot and learned some martial art techniques to absorb ki in another place while utilizing the absorbed ki and meridians to perform magic. He had finished meditation for 3 yrs and his parents and a family friend questioned why he was in locked training and were shocked by his magic abilities

. Wait ch 62 Ch 61 main did want to cause more damage but stopped after his 1st attack bc this enemy has a stronger reputation and connections. He doesn't want to be found as the instigator, instead he will be a visitor thanks to Tang elder. Meanwhile the grand patriarch, Tang's half brother i will name wrinkles, was a very greedy selfish adulterous man who only wants high position and reputation. Thankfully his son is not that stupid and sees his father as an embarrassment and actually did take over patriarch position from his father. So his father is a bitter nagging man without the Tang family's patriarch emblem. When Tang elder came, of course half brother was enraged to see him, but nephew is willing to hear him out. Ch 60 recap, main dislikes the stories of the Tang family after hearing rumors from merchants. Main was at the Tang family bc he needed a special ice spirit item for his northern allies. He encounters a Tang elder and Sword god asks main to spare the Tang elder bc he noticed that Tang elder has signs of being excommunicated. Elder told his story due to a misunderstanding and his half brothers jealousy, he got punished and excommunicated. But Tang elder still has Tang family pride, he just dislikes those who r currently running it. Main goes to cause pain on those brothers for their inhuman actions and being so secluded that they would punish anyone who even talks about them Ch 53 mains business slowly gained favoritism when ppl bought his products and it was a hit, despite some unorthodox ppl tried to stop but main knew their weaknesses so he was able to go around them or get their approval. Then the Jegal member came, they r loyal to the murim and act like investigators under murim law as orthodox. They question main if he's ortho or not for allowing unorthodox and orthodox ppl to coexist. Orthodox r not permitted to associate with anyone from unorthodox Ch 48 namgoong leader did come to scold his son and main for his recklessness to using his name, but main shows his contract with unorthodox and it was to buy time for the namgoong to have another branch in the land property and plant their own martial artists in mains Jo businesses undercover so when the time comes main knows unorthodox will fight back after the 3 yr contract period, namgoong has ppl to protect Jo businesses and their branch, plus namgoong will also gain profit for being employed by Jo clan businesses Ch 44 unorthodox realize the person who attacked them may be related to mains group. They will wait to see how developed their lands are and hope to steal it back. Meanwhile the northerners main wants to recruit arrived. They can use ice magic skills and main has what they desire, rhe frozen item main won from a competition in knowledge, he theorized they can make money with their powers in turn they can use his ice item for their cultivation Ch 41 lol main learned from namgoongs clan leader his techniques that were useful in mains mission to get rid of the unorthodox group's arsenal aiming at mains city to avoid a war. The unorthodox thought it was namgoong doing damage bc main is using their techniques, but it is just to gain attention since they can recognize namgoong techniques vs mains unknown skills. He made a deal unorthodox stop the advancement in turn to sell their land to Jo clan so main won't tell the imperial family that the unorthodox has contraband goods that are supposed to only belong to the imperial family. Evil king recognized mains Jo clan as the ones with the successful business worth 700,000 gold, that's why they prepared so much to gain that wealth. But if Jo clan expanded and moved to the unorthodox territory, that's beneficial for them anyways bc they also want that culture, so they agreed Ch 34 main knows why the neighboring country wants mains business, it is bc main offers services that only his city operates on, it is it's own culture. He can threaten removing his influence and culture and those who r so used to it will crave for it and beg for mains business back. He knows he has that pull and will try to sell his culture to the neighboring lands to expand his business if it means to stop a war happening Ch 29 ahh so the murim alliance is having trouble with an enemy from neighboring country and need support from namgoong. They know main is very influential and wants his support. Main is very clear his business is his own and he will not ally with murim. Only ally he trusts is namgoong family. Namgoong knows main is utilizing their name for protection and asks main to join them so it ensures main is a true allianced member and won't betray them. They wanted main tied in marriage but no one is available to be wedded. So they bend the rules to allow main to be a family member, he just protect namgoong and support them when they call for mains support for main to keep using their sponsored name Ch 28 lol mains business is so huge that other businesses are suffering. They saw mains plaque from namgoong and they complain to namgoong. But the patriarch head likes mains products even tho the complaints are a headache. But then trouble arise when a neighboring country is waging war and the orthodox alliance wants mains influence to join their side for funds but aren't sure if mains individual group is orthodox or evil since it's btwn that range with mains expensive business in clubs getting all the money from their customers Ch 27 dang! After 3 yrs mains business merchant group is booming in similar modern businesses Ch 25-26 main reached the cave that sword god mentioned and sword god found it by chance and tried to learn it, that's why he was strong bc he was enlightened but couldn't fully understand it. Main understood bc the writings were all equations and Korean characters from his timeline, someone from his modern also went back in time to olden era. Main was enlightened by the words of this person and 3 yrs passed. Sword god thinks this was predestined for main to be reincarnated in this timeline and sword god became the bridge to lead main to the cave to decipher the meaning so they both learn Ch 22 mains ancestor sword god noticed the mount Hwa family is corrupted by using demonic arts, he took over mains body and confronted the disciple and the elder over mount Hwa clan and made sure to scare Hwa that they need to stop using demonic arts to save their clan from destruction bc sword god will remove them. Hwa elder recognized sword gods words and arts and then gained enlightenment. Sword god was at least pleased Hwa managed to be enlightened so their Hwa clan won't use the demonic arts anymore Ch 20 main joined the group of martial artists who are on their way to the Mount Hua summit event to compete in martial arts. It's on the way to mains ancestors destination where he kept his scriptures, so main can utilize the martial artists as his guards since there r bandits outside of cities Ch 14-15 mains company grew a lot that they can expand to other businesses and got their raw ingredients themselves without the help of mains merchant partner. Main gave him multiple tries to offer better deals as equals but merchant didn't offer any, so main cut him out. Bc he knew merchant profited double the amount from having exclusive rights to mains products. With no better offers, it's better to go solo especially mains high namgoong plaque giving main status within namgoong territory. Mains plan is to operate inns with better food and offer speedy delivery service with mains invention of the bicycle, not sold to anyone and solely used by mains company. Ch 13 recap, main impressed the namgoong elders with his inner ki that was recently opened and noticeable and they want him as their disciple. Main couldnt really say how he knew his martial arts ki knowledge but said he met a master who told him moves and he competed with one namgoong elder in a hypothetical battle of martial movements like mental chess and main kept winning and did end up gaining a plaque to be sponsored by namgoong in exchange main agreed to be their external disciple to keep mains family name. They wanted to adopt main as their own with their name but mains ancestor the sword king refused and keep the Jo name Ch 8 while main and his older hyung on their way to namgoong clan, mains ancestors communicated and saw mains memories of modern times and understood how advanced those times are. Main is smart and they want to gift him their talents in turn to get revenge against the sama family. Somehow in the past, mains Jo family had massive wealth but was overtaken by the Sama family Ch 6 mains father bestowed their family heirloom to main and it was the same red orb necklace that main in modern was given by his father. The orb contains the voices of past ancestors and they are curious how main can hear them. The orb enables their descendents of bloodline to gain abilities, main told them he's reincarnated so he doesnt know what abilities he has. The ancestors never heard of this but a few were very interested how main was able to reincarnate, and the communication cut off as they converse among themselves so main was left with more questions lol Ch 5 half a yr later and main paid off the loan sharks and the loan by the merchant, merchant is on good terms with main for making a profit but worries bc mains company is doing so well, other merchants or similar in iron making are causing a fuss that mains company is taking their businesses so they aren't making money and may go against main by sending officials to rock the boat. Mains next plan is to gain a very strong sponsor who will back them up so it can deter those jealous ppl, the namgoong clan known for martial arts lineage Ch 4 main managed to get a loan from a merchant group by angering the merchant who was flabbergasted by mains prideful attitude and overconfidence that only mains body will be placed collateral so he can see how valuable main is with his plan. Main utilized his memories of his other life in modern age to give the ideal payment incentives and holiday pay for the workers so they will stay loyal to their company and cannot disclose any work methods and info to outsiders. This ensures that the workers r properly trained and retained in the company, bc mains methods will be more modernized to help this era of olden age, in this timeline, he's considered a genius from modern thought Modern to olden era

. Wait for ch 15 Modern main died due to cancer at a young age. He woke up as a baby and grew up in a murim world. Sadly his body has qi blockage and can't learn martial arts and some assassins were sent to kill him. He doesn't know who hired them, but while in hiding at the family estate, he found an old sword that is their family ancestors sword from the divine sword master. Main sees his ghost and master possessed his body to save him. Master can teach main methods to learn martial arts with his body condition. Old man did notice later when main advanced a move that only ppl who experienced death can do. He asked main if he's a reincarnate. Main explained he's from a world in the far future and master was intrigued and thinks this is the blessing of the heavens bc mains situation is super rare and even for master's excitement to teach main everything he knows that way main can reach to higher heights than him
