Chapter 76: The Dao (2)
Seojun and Hwan Baeho first headed to the scene of the crime.
Along the way, Seojun learned that Hwan Baeho’s light body arts was quite impressive. He was remarkably fast for someone between the First Rate and Peak Realm.
With nothing else to do during the journey, Seojun asked about it, and Hwan Baeho replied.
“I’m mainly called upon when tracking is needed, and in such situations, the light body art is crucial. It would be troublesome if the pursuit is slowed down because of me.”
“Ah, I see. So you focused on learning light body arts?”
“That is correct. My combat ability is rather poor as a result.”
“Well, you are part of the Namgung Clan. It doesn’t matter since others can cover for your lack of combat ability.”
This seemed to be the advantage of being part of a group.
If one were to wander murim alone being weak is asking for trouble. Isn’t murim a place where a simple misstep could lead to swords being drawn?
But in Hwan Baeho’s case, he didn’t need to worry about fighting and could focus solely on improving in his area of expertise since others could fill in for his lack of strength.
I’ll have to be careful when fighting large organizations later.
