Chapter 150
Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors
What kind of martial art is the Soul Extinguishing Technique?
Kamizumi Nobutsuna stated,
“It seems that one must possess a talent referred to as ‘wandering soul’ to master the Soul Extinguishing Technique.”
“Wandering soul? What’s that?”
It was a concept I had never heard before in my life. As I tilted my head in confusion, he continued,
“Rather than just talent, it’s a nature born from one’s character—essentially, it refers to the intrinsic nature of someone who enjoys wandering and embodies freedom. It would be better to refer to it as an ‘innate ability’.”
“……?!”
I was dumbfounded. How could such a condition be necessary for a martial art? I couldn’t help but think of Lee Kwang, Jin So-cheong, and even myself, who had all failed to master the technique. At the same time, I compared them to Geuk Ho and Yagyu Munenori and couldn’t discern any difference.
