Fabre in Sacheon’s Tang

Staring blankly at Cho soaring into the sky, a thought crossed my mind.

I was such a fool.

‘How could I be so stupid, only thinking about things that are obvious to the eye?!’

After all, do techniques only come in the form of active skills?

Absolutely not.

There are also passive skills that remain constantly active.

What does this mean?

In my past life, terms like these were commonly used in various games. Skills were generally divided into two types: active and passive.

The distinction was simple—active skills were triggered when used, while passive skills remained constantly in effect. If I had to explain it in terms of this world, it would go something like this:

A martial technique that gathers internal energy into the fist to deliver a devastating explosion upon impact is called Exploding Fist. This is an active skill since it only activates when energy is deliberately infused into the punch.

However, if training in Exploding Fist also included cultivating a technique called Exploding Ten Meridians, which strengthens the body and increases durability over time, that would be considered a passive skill. Even without actively channeling energy, the body remains fortified and powerful at all times.

A skill that remains effective without requiring any action—this is what defines a passive skill.
