## Chapter 45
**10. You May Cry (2)**
Martial Arts Old Farts who enjoyed reading Wuxia novels in their youth.
No, it's a belated fact that anyone who has read web novels a bit knows but.
The relationship between the Orthodox Faction Martial Arts World and the White Lotus Cult... that is, the Demonic Cult could be said to be something that cannot be expressed with the word 'worst'.
To explain using a somewhat Earth-like analogy, should I say it's similar to or worse than the relationship between the Assassins and the Templars.
Of course, at the current point, that is only a story of the uncivilized and barbaric past.
At the point when Trans-Dimensional Streaming or Dimensional Gallery flowed in, martial artists learned how to resolve conflicts between each other through conversation rather than carelessly drawing their swords.

Title: Image of Orthodox Faction warrior vs Demonic Cult warrior engaging in sword debate in the gallery yesterday...jpg- (Image of Martial Arts Alliance Leader, Ninth Heaven Mysterious Woman Han Seol-ah, looking shy wearing Lucy's outfit)
「I will pierce your whole body with the profound secret of the Blood Demon Twelve Swords, Blood Washing the World.」
「I dodged that attack.」
「...Just a moment ago, your true qi must have hit rock bottom trying to dodge my profound secret, so how on earth are you saying you dodged my attack?」
「There's no need to even use internal energy for a pathetic attack from a Demonic Cult lackey.」
「But the profound secret I activated just a moment ago killed your mother who was watching the duel. You have to attend the funeral so this duel is my victory.」
Surprisingly all this is an actual duel that happened in a corner of the gallery yesterday...
Clarifying in advance the fact that it's not manipulated but capturing the original as it is... yeah

Perhaps mistaking the place called Dimensional Gallery for Battle City, martial artists used to engage in keyboard battles disguised as sword debates every single day.
Very rarely, there were times when their interests aligned.

Title: Honestly I can't understand why on earth 「Henry Etta」 is so popular lololol- I am a hardcore fan of Earth culture who watched live broadcasts from the moment Cup Noodle-Zwa turned on the broadcast
But kids with blood not even dry on their heads are the protagonists
And I think 「Henry Etta」 spewing out sorcery *pew-shoong* from some wooden stick is not that great...
Instead, where Martial Arts (*Wu*) and Chivalry (*Xia*) live and breathe in the work and awesome sword techniques appear damn a lot to please the eyes
If you think 「Star Wars」 is more fun let's press upvote once???
For reference I am not a martial artist but this was a fact I couldn't help but acknowledge... yeah

It was so.
That was none other than, taste in cultural works!
Even though they bickered with each other every day calling each other Martial Arts Alliance or Demonic Cult.
Because their essence was ultimately martial artists, their taste in Earth's cultural works also couldn't help but be somewhat similar.
“Yeah... I admit it. The fact that the work called 「Henry Etta」 can fully enter the ranks of masterpieces. But you see, you guys are lacking something decisive!”
“Martial Arts (*Wu*)... and Chivalry (*Xia*). Is it really okay to call something without these two a cultural work? I think not....”
「Star Wars」 was an undeniable authentic Wuxia where starting from Space Demonic Cult, even Void Bending appears.
Even though martial arts don't appear in 「Outlaw」, since it showed the protagonist living with 'Chivalry' in his heart, it was worth granting at least honorary Wuxia citizenship.
But isn't 「Henry Etta」 exactly a work where only the sorcery of Westerners appears, not martial arts!
Yeah, it wasn't.
This absolutely wasn't Wuxia!
Their thought like this couldn't help but deepen even more after the prequel game released after 「Henry Etta」 installment 7, 「Hidden Legacy」, was released.

Viewer: That... Isn't that the killing curse the Demon King used in the movie...? It's possible to... use that consecutively?
Viewer: To casually use magic that tears the soul upon a single use... Does a human heart not exist in the game protagonist...?
Viewer: ↳ Compared to the protagonist that Demon King dude was a neighborhood prankster lololol
Viewer: ↳ He just saw the enemies not as humans but as trash to be cleared... Otherwise all this is impossible...
Viewer: ↳ Kyaaaaaaack!!!!
Viewer: Wow... I seriously never thought of turning an enemy into a bomb and detonating it on the opponent's side...
Viewer: He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named *shiver*
Viewer: ↳ Lolololol
No matter how much it's taken into account that it's a game, it's atrocious tracks itself where one cannot find Chivalry!
Martial artists couldn't help but be astonished by the appearance of the game protagonist using forbidden curses like eating meals, and not seeing people as people.
However.
‘...I think it's fine though? No, it's incredibly good?’
Unlike Martial Arts Old Farts whose heads had already hardened stiffly.
The Martial Arts Alliance Leader Han Seol-ah, who boasts a fresh age in her early 20s, could not agree with the thoughts of the majority of martial artists.
In Han Seol-ah's view, even filtering out the sorcery, the work called 「Henry Etta」 was incredibly fun.
Because didn't a pure love element appear in this work where one devoted one's whole body, heart, and even spirit to love only one woman?
The reason she watched 「Outlaw」 enjoyably was also the same.
For her, who hasn't even properly held a man's hand yet, her eyes couldn't help but naturally go to such elements-
‘...Wait. Loved by devoting the whole body and heart?’
She suddenly recalled the advice her master gave her.
‘Seol-ah. If you want to master the martial arts you learned, you must make Mind, Technique, and Body (*Sim-gi-che*) into one.’
‘...Mind, Technique, and Body, you say? Isn't that the basics of basics?’
At the master's words, Han Seol-ah unintentionally ended up tilting her head.
Because among people who learn martial arts, there was no one who didn't know the fact that Mind (*Sim*) is mental power, Technique (*Gi*) is various skills, and Body (*Che*) is the physical body.
‘Well. I wonder.’
‘...Yes?’
Because her master didn't say any words with that as the last, she also naturally forgot about it.
Right at this moment, seeing the pure love elements appearing in Earth's cultural works, Han Seol-ah suddenly attained enlightenment.
‘Right, it was exactly that!’
In 「Outlaw」, David and Lucy loved only each other, establishing pure love where they don't even look at other people.
In the case of Snake from 「Henry Etta」, well, is explanation needed?
His whole life itself can be called pure love?
It's the same as this.
Traditionally, the protagonist and heroine of a work must have a pure mind that doesn't even think of anyone other than the person destined by fate!
That exactly is Mind (*Sim*)!
Also, the protagonist and heroine must not even have contact with the opposite sex except in unavoidable cases.
Because pure love cannot be established like that!
That exactly is Body (*Che*)!
Then what is Technique (*Gi*)... honestly Technique was a bit difficult.
But that was also momentary.
Han Seol-ah, who entered a state of selflessness, could finally find out what the answer was.
‘Technique (*Gi*) must mean a pure mind that does not have any lewd or wicked thoughts between a man and a woman.’
That exactly is Technique (*Gi*)!
The very moment Han Seol-ah fully awakened to one of the truths of this world—
*Crack.*
Along with the sound of the bones in her whole body twisting, Han Seol-ah realized that her body was being reconstructed.
Shedding One's Mortal Body and Exchanging One's Bones (*Hwan-gol-tal-tae*)!
It was so.
Organizing the enlightenment gained by seeing the pure love appearing in these two works, 「Outlaw」 and 「Henry Etta」, Han Seol-ah finally broke through the realm!
“T-This can't be....”
“At such a young age... you reached the Profound Realm (*Hyeon-gyeong*)?”
Meanwhile, the members of the Martial Arts Alliance, realizing the fact that Han Seol-ah broke through the realm and became an absolute master, made astonished expressions.
Profound Realm.
Wasn't that a realm equal to the Heavenly Demon who is evil beyond measure inhabiting the Heavenly Mountains!
However, the expression of Han Seol-ah, who actually became an absolute master, was only too composed.
“I was just lucky.”
“...No matter how lucky you are, is it possible to enter the Profound Realm?”
“Cup Noodle-Zwa. And Earth's cultural works he spread.”
She spoke in a low voice.
“Because the level of their works contained a philosophy even more profound than the profound truth of most martial arts, it was possible. If not for Earth's movies, games, and anime... I wouldn't have been able to reach the Profound Realm.”
“E-Enlightenment by watching Earth's works!”
“Amazing! As that crazy woman Elf claimed, were Earthlings the most excellent species in all dimensions?”
“Alliance Leader-nim! If it's not rude, may I ask what kind of enlightenment you gained through Earth's works?”
“...Umm.”
At someone's question, Han Seol-ah thought about something, then quietly opened her mouth.
“Mind, Technique, and Body Theory.”
“...Yes?”
“I will call this enlightenment I established for the first time in all dimensions the Mind, Technique, and Body Virgin... no, Mind, Technique, and Body Pure Love Theory.”
No matter how much they are Earthlings, surely they haven't even gained such high-level enlightenment right?
Han Seol-ah unintentionally ended up making a proud smile.
