Wait, wasn't her stunted growth due to her poor ki circulation as well? So when she gets that fixed...lil Sosul might not be so little anymore...

Let's see:
Clan head as wife (Sosul) - check
Leader of 9D FanClub/S.U.C. as mistress (Sera) - check
Bodyguard crush (Jinnie) - check
Childhood friend (Saehee) - check

Honorable mention:
Hawt 'older sister' figure (Shiho) - check

...Shiho... :sad:

Sera's not a member of S.U.C. :heh:

She's more like the personal advisor, and who is essentially being Shioon's only real ally at the moment.

Possibly real ally.

as far as I see it shioon is sharing the same destiny with his master. Both of them are being used by everyone around them. I believe Sera is an ally as long as she can profit from shioon's success.

Yes, i think you're right, this, is another problem that will fixed when her ki,will be normally distributed.probably on she return, we will not see more a little girl ..would be nice to see changes in her body...

I agree here.
Sera for me is honest in wanting to help Shioon.
Well then of course the manga itself can deny it.:heh:

"Sensei, please teach me many things!"

- Shioon's last words

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for now. She at least tried to warn him; so if she betrays him and he's not ready for it, it's his own damn fault.

She did warn him. They're all betting with high stakes, there. She's trying to back the winning horse, but if he starts looking lame, she'll cut her losses.

She's different from, say, Jinnie, who helped him (or at least, refrained from killing him) because of her feelings.

This. Sera is an opportunist unlike Jinnie; to her, the first and most important priority is to ensure that her faction holds it's own during times like these where the Murim is quite vulnerable. Whether she develops feelings for Shioon in the process is yet to be seen :D

With Shioon, someone helping him from their hearts and feelings... isn't always a good thing.

Let's see...

Goomoonryong's good will, one that led him towards deciding to destroy his ki centre... we've seen the results.

Sosul's love, which has made her give him the Medallion... pretty much threw him into a den of wolves. If Shioon were even a little bit meeker, basically what Sosul gave him was just a witness protection programme.

Shiho's goodwill medicine? Literally almost blew Shioon inside-out.

Jinie? Since she's placed between a rock and a hard place, all she ever amounted to was that she was dedicated to protecting him as a person, but not so much helping him to understand the predicament he's in. ( partly because she's not allowed to, anyway )

Elder Jeon and Gyu-Bum are more of a clan loyalist than anything else.

Sera's doing it out of purely personal reasons, but at least she knows where Shioon's lacking and is actively seeking in addressing :-

a. his will as a Murim-ni.
b. his lack of knowledge in pretty much everything Murim.
c. his recovery.
d. the need for him to actually gamble his life on it. ( rather than being protected for it. )

So.... am i to understand that it's now possible to recover Shion's Ki-Center ?According to what that girl said makes no sense,since she said that if that homeless looking guy said that it's impossible means that it is impossible,but his words and actions don't match up(???),what the hell is this ?

well it might be that its too dangerous and he says it cant be done... or simply he cant recover the broken ki-center.... yet he might be able to create new one...

so by giving pills he could be like extand the time he has to prepare to do the new ki-center.... maybe he took shions blood so he can make it from it.... like only shion will be compatibile with it yet it needs time to be made.... and if he can work in peace so faster he can end the experiment.... he knows that Suck are after shioon... so it would be harder for him to do it...


anyway time will tell.... my guess is that they will make a new ki-center and replace the broken one...

Is probably the doctor lying?I think that Sera,follow the doctor because she know he is lying.and behind all this, there is the grandfather of Jinnie ..

So...Sera teaches him how to swim?:heh:

With Jinie sulking about how she could probably teach him better...

Well, it's a pretty common trope in wuxia type stories that an ultimate form of martial arts can only be created after one destroys their own ki-center. That or get a sex change.

Shioon will probably use the Black Heaven and Earth thing combined with his own broken ki-center to create the ultimate martial arts (ie, fixed black heaven and earth).

The only issues I have with this, is that he's going to be like some junkie needing his next fix in order to fight if he's relying on pills all the time. All it is, is a convenient plot device for the author to use to add some forced drama into the fights... Shioon's kicking butt and then OOPS! Drugs wear off and he's in trouble (which won't be a consistent time frame, but only when it's convenient for the story).

Sounds likely :heh: . I guess it's a metaphor for what the chapter'll contain.. :rolleyes: :uhoh:

A sex change? For real!? :heh:

That's probably it, indeed - Shioon will rely on the pills for now then use the BH&E. However, it's possible that we'll get another solution in between that too, if the doctor's indeed lying.
