Hyuk So-Chun is the Assistant-Leader of the Heavenly Way Sect and a Martial Arts prodigy in the Murim world. He first started out as an antagonist to Lee Shi-Woon, but later becomes an Ally/Rival to him.
Appearance[]
He is a young man with sleek black hair and many have commented on his good looks. He is often seen in formal attire.
Personality[]
He is a serious and smart individual. He attempts to defuse conflicts through words at first before dealing blows and such to his appearance -as shown when he first meets Shi-Woon and attempts to convince him to go along peacefully and tell him the location of Chun-Woo before attempting to knock him unconscious.
He is wise for his age, isolated from social connection to those around him and unused to conversation with people his own age. He has an introverted, clean, and straight disposition which seems to allow him to look at most things objectively, such as the many goings on in the Murim world and the actions of Murimins.
During his first meeting with Lee Shi-Woon he was unable to keep his cool as he gets caught up in Shi-Woon's glare, which appears to be unlike his usual self: 'I wasn't able to act calm, this is unlike me". He feels fear when he fights Shi-Woon despite the overwhelming difference in strength.
He doesn't have much of a link to people his own age and often appears to be wishing for a friendship with Shi-Woon. He brings flowers to him after Goomoonryong shatters Shi-Woon's Ki-Centre and claims to admire Shi-Woon's determination and, for some reason, he can't stop thinking about Shi-Woon after their first meeting.
This behaviour seems to be very unlike him as he is constantly reaching out for Shi-Woon despite the difference in his usual actions. It shows off a lonelier side to his personality.
Other aspects of So-Chun Hyuk's personality is that he fears Goomoonryong and changes his icy disengaged style to a more determined one after meeting Shi-Woon, his objectives and personal aims in the Murim world are unknown, although it is certain that he is a genius martial artist he never clearly shows off in The Breaker what his own intents are, other than stabilizing the gap between the normal and the Murim world.
When it comes to his school he is very loyal and will not stand people to disrespect to the Heavenly Way, even a member of the Ten Grand Masters.
Techniques & Abilities[]
Abilities[]
Real Master Martial Artist (Heavenly Way Style): So-Chun is considered a genius who has mastered the 5 forms of Heaven's Will.[1] As is expected of someone of his position his distribution of Ki is natural. He can stop a punch strong enough to break stone with relative ease. He is fast enough to execute moves that are difficult to react to. He is strong enough to crush a wooden board by compressing both ends, causing the wood to unravel into shreds.[2]Chun-Woo himself described Hyuk as someone who reached the top of the martial arts world. It is also shown that he was able to hold himself fairy well against Goomonryong while he was in Black Origin Threshold, which amazed the witnesses. However he himself admitted that the damage of his attacks were superficial at best and was eventually overpowered by Goomoonryong even when he was fighting with three of the Five Protectors of the Heavenly Way. Mentioned to use a 5 star Ki Level attack. (Ch.45)
Techniques[]
- Heavenly Way Punch: This technique is a Gwongyuk of the Heavenly Way Sect. The force of this attack is so great it can send an opponent flying and embed them into any physical structure the opponent crashes into. It is said that it is almost impossible to take the blow and survive.[3]
- Foot Techniques: So-Chun has shown an amazing feat of superhuman speed, being able to catch up to and surpass a taxi Shi-Woon was in.[4]
- Fierce Tiger Strike: When the practitioner withdraws the left hand the flow of Ki changes. Hence, in order to use it the practitioner must change the Ki-Flow and use a heavier Ki. The practitioner then punches forward. It is a Ki strike capable of effortlessly breaking a wooden stake in half.[1]
- Silver Dragon Strike: A strike with throwing characteristics that sends the opponents flying upwards.[5]
Relationships[]
- Lee Shi-Woon: Initial enemy but turned ally.
- Jang Joon-Ho: So-chun is close with Joonho as fellow students and as brother.
- So Jung Chan: They share antagonistic relationship because of Jung-chan's jelaousy and inferiority complex.
- Han Chun-Woo: Not exactly direct enemies as So Chun is after him only due to his connection with the Martial Arts Alliance.
- Kang Sung: Kang Sung is a person he respects and an older brother in the ways of the Murim.
