Synopsis

The chapter starts with the Water Dragon King praising the protagonist's talent and attempts to persuade him to become his disciple, which the protagonist initially rejects, but eventually agrees to in order to move forward. Later, it's revealed that the Water Dragon King spared the other fighters and sent them to the Orthodox Murim Alliance after defeating them, also healing the protagonist. The Water Dragon King then forcefully claims the protagonist as his disciple despite the protagonist's attempts to resist based on his background, using the excuse of needing to punish him for the trouble he caused.
