Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

After his qi center is destroyed, a martial arts instructor of the Blood Demon Cult is assigned to learn and research the martial arts of four captured murim masters. However, when the Cult betrays him and decides to kill him, he fights back and everyone in the Cult dies, including himself.

He then mysteriously wakes up in the body of Baek Suryong, a young martial arts instructor in the rural countryside with a disease that will kill him within three years. He realizes that the martial arts he had learned holds the key to healing his new body’s illness, but in order to do that, he needed money. A LOT of money.

Baek Suryong thus embarks on a journey to become the Star Instructor of the Azure Dragon Martial Arts Academy, and earn enough money to save his own life! Perhaps he would even manage to educate some kids along the way…

I will fight anyone who dare to give my beloved Baek below 3 stars. DON'T U DARE. Looks how hardworking and good baby he is. How could u hate him?

The story is quite balance to make him OP without make it too oblivious. And the other character is getting fleshed out quite good as well. Not forgeting the flow of the story is not repetitive. U need action? Check. No romance? Check. Bromance? Check, but u need a long way to get it. U need hurt/comfort moment? Hohoho, let's join... more>> me being giddy everytime teacher Baek's past was triggered. Ohohoho!

U NEED ADORABLE HARDWORKING PRETTIEST BEST OF THE BEST TEACHER as MC? READ IT. Periodt.

Spoiler

Edit: TEACHER BECOME MORE AND MORE ADORABLE I CANT I WANT TO MARRY HIM LEMME MARRY HIM WHO U ALL TO THINK I CANT DO IT ILL MARRY HIM AAAAAAAAAAA!!!

This is really good. The plot is very interesting and the MC is likeable.

The premise seems cliche but the story itself has many interesting aspects. The MC isn't particularly OP - the villains are more OP XD. Most of the characters are likeable in their own way and have unique personalities. Also, there's no romance!

The story is relatively slow paced, but it's not boring. Rather, I like how the author takes time to explore the setting of the world and the MC's past life.

However, the power dynamics are quite confusing.... more>> The whole top ten masters thing confuses me because it feels like there are a lot of people stronger than them?

Spoiler

Also, I don't understand why the MC doesn't use gang qi. He's used it maybe once or twice? I may have missed something though since I read it quickly.

[collapse]

That aside, it's really good. Highly recommend. <<less

I have not gone through the novel yet. But, I have read the manhwa (atleast to the currently translated chapters) and have enjoyed reading it a lot.

It has similar vibes with 'Return to Mount Hua Sect' like how both the MCs are crazy about training their students/other disciples.

A must read because it is action packed and equally funny. A gem of a novel.

I finish its until the end and have to admit its really good. The fights are incredible, the plot is super enjoyable amd it's not so complicated that you starts to get confused midway. The characters are super interesting too.

My favorite is no doubt Namgung Su, the MC is a close 2nd.

No romance, but my personal ship/ opinion:

... more>>
Spoiler

Honestly there is no romance in the novel, but not gonna lie I'm pretty sus about Namgung Su and Bark Suryong. Like bruh, I cant be the only one feeling this way. Like they literarily understand each other so well, they trust each other and is willing to DIE for the other. There is so MANY moments of bromance in the story that I cant help but SHIP them. Like when Namgung su got mad his father is sus on Baek Suryong, when Baek Suryong saves Namgung Su and help him reform his body, when they fight together and perfectly match each other during a fight, when namgung can recognize suryong at a glance on disguise, when namgung does NOT question MCs martial arts AND THE LAST PART, YOU GUYS GOTTA READ UNTIL THE END AND YOULL UNDERSTAND. I can go on for DAYS. The Tsundere namgung Su x the carefree and mischievious Baek Suryong, I flippin LOVE this dynamic

Witty and strong MC, hilarious interactions with the father in the first few chapters + interesting interactions with the characters.

Romance: none

Summary:

Spoiler
  • MC was part of the blood cult and learned from the 4 great masters of the time after they were kidnapped
  • They're all killed by the blood cult
  • He reincarnates into a body who died after trying to learn a demonic art
  • The body is sick and needs to learn the most powerful blood art to turn it into an OP body, luckily the MC knows this
  • MC interacts with his dad a bit
  • He goes to the Azure Dragon Academy as an instructor

I can't find any MTL chapters though, maybe I'll get the raws off of Naver or something ;-;

For a Murim novel... it's meh. For a FANTASY NOVEL? TOP TIER!

The plot is actually good and does not get overly complicated. I like that every arc helped build up all the way to the end and there were no useless fillers. It's a fun read and I was laughing my ass out then crying unstoppably at certain parts. This work know how to tug at the heart strings (The Wedding in a Dream scene 😭😭😭😭😭 Master Eun Yerin)

Most of all I love the characters. If the plot had... more>> gone to sh*t I would have still stuck around because of them. The MC is awesome and the ALL the students, not just the direct disciples, are such wonderful characs that I root for each of them (Tang Soso is creepy but her heart is in the right place 🤣😂).

Lastly... NAMGUNG SU!! 😘😘😘 He's such a scene stealer every time he appears. I love his bromance with Suryong (I'm sure there are shippers, but I'm glad it's just best friendship between them). It's been a while since I have read good bromance. And to think I did not like him at first. He's just a massive tsuntsun (One I actually like and I can't wait for the third manhwa season so everyone will know how amazing he really is). (PS. I CAN'T WAIT FOR HIS LIL SIS TO APPEAR. THE CUTENESS) <<less

MY BELOVED MASTER BAEK AAAAAA

I started getting into the story through the webtoon (the art is GORGEOUS) and while waiting for season 3, I decided to read the novel (and because I missed Master Baek too much T-T).

At first, it was hard getting used to the MTL but the story was so addicting that I just can't stop reading. Every arc was written so well, from start to finish, I felt like there was never a boring moment. Even the supposed filler arcs were wholesome and interesting.

Not to mention the... more>> PLOT and CHARACTERS. Guys, I felt like I just found nirvana in the middle of the desert or something. Like I didn't know this was my kind of food you know LOL. I won't spoil you much but I especially love
Spoiler

the relationship between the old disciples and Master Baek, like it was so bittersweet T-T. The author gave a kind of happy ending, BUT I WANNA SEE THEM HAPPY and TOGETHER.

[collapse]

Anyway, guys, PLEASE READ this. I need more people to obsess over Master Baek with me. 😿❤️ P.S. I haven't read the side stories yet (because I can't find them SOB). If anyone knows where I can read them or have the pdf or something, PLEASE contact me 😔🫂 <<less

I kind of enjoyed it. The main character is a ruthless teacher that is learning about other ways to teach. I would hate to have him as a teacher.

There's something lacking, but I cannot find what that missing thing is. I think the combat is one of the issues. The author uses onomatopoeia such as swoosh, whoosh, etc. To denote action such as swinging a blade. The sound effects are used for each action scene, making them feel less interesting to read about.

I do recommend at least trying to read... more>> past chapter 1 or evening skipping past most of chapter 1. The backstory only serves as worldbuilding, and the author will eventually show readers more of what occurred during the main character's previous life.

Since I am only 49 chapters in, I cannot say whether it will get better, but I hope it will. <<less

One of my favorite music novel and novel in general. There no romance for the main character at all. They relationship between him and his student so nicely made and describe. I absolutely love how the author wrote each interactions. I would highly recommend this book. This slower paced in fighting in the early ch, but definitely not boring.

this is not a murim novel, it's a modern academy novel with murim themes. It's fine if you enjoy it, but you shouldn't go into this expecting a typical murim story. It has none of the murim tropes except for the vague martial arts theme. The style of writing is also quite different from most webnovels, being more reminiscent of western novels, especially with how the characters talk. Though I don't know if that's how the novel is written or the influence of the translator. In all cases though, if... more>> you are planning to read this, read the first 10 or so chapters and decide if you like it or not. <<less

This is a great read. The plot is mostly nonexistent up until chapter 60 or so, and our MC is of course overpowered and ruthless towards his enemies. I normally dislike academy stories, but this one's a really fun read. The translation is excellent too.
