Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time

The battle unfolded among rocks, thickets, streams, and corpses.

Gun Yu-rin, perched atop his steed and looking down at the Seventh Apostle and the young man, found himself doubting his own eyes.

The scent of blood, once mingled with the sound of flowing water, had long since faded from his nose. The sheer intensity of their close-combat exchange had stripped the moment of any sense of reality.

Who the hell is that?

Gun Yu-rin, his posture unwavering and commanding, found himself in a state of turmoil.

He was the Young Lord of the Heartless Lotus Sect. To master battlefield combat, he had trained in Wiwangsi, an advanced martial art that allowed him to command military forces with precision.

He had personally received training in this technique from his father. Day and night, he had devoted himself to its mastery. Thanks to his natural talent, he had achieved remarkable success.

And now, he was witnessing the techniques of true martial masters before his very eyes.

Their every movement was a blur, but he could still sense the ascending force within their strikes.

The Seventh Apostle, her pure-blood robes fluttering around her, moved differently from when she had fought against the military forces.@@novelbin@@

Though her qi had been depleted, her attacks now carried a strange, refined grace. Powerful yet mesmerizingly elegant.

Gun Yu-rin nearly lost his composure as he watched.

Even more shocking was the fact that the young man surpassed the Seventh Apostle, despite her state of qi deviation.

The moment he subdued her, his movements reached the absolute peak of the Flowing Realm, to the point where for a fleeting second, Gun Yu-rin was reminded of the Wudang Sect.

There was a reason Gwang Dojon had stopped him from interfering.

—Young Lord.

A voice resounded in his mind, carried through an internal transmission.

A weighty presence approached the side of his white horse.

An overwhelming qi—one that had no place in this battlefield.

It was Gwang Dojon of the Heartless Lotus Sect speaking to him.

—You must proceed with caution.
