00:00The young woman had long been the greatest martial arts expert under heaven.
00:02Yet she loved disguising herself as a man and presenting herself as a carefree rebel.
00:07That day, as usual, she went to an end to drown her boredom in alcohol.
00:10By chance, she encountered the son of a rival dojo master who had come to stir up trouble.
00:14The young woman merely dipped her finger into a drop of wine.
00:17The next instant, the boy was struck by an invisible blow and staggered.
00:20Humiliated, he demanded to know who had attacked him.
00:22Just as he was about to draw his sword, his master stopped him.
00:25He knew that turning a drop of liquid into a weapon
00:26was a technique reserved for terrifyingly high-level experts.
00:30For the young master's safety, he urged him to leave.
00:32Before departing, he cast a glance at the young woman calmly drinking,
00:35determined to test her abilities himself.
00:36As he approached, he noticed she showed no signs of being a martial artist.
00:39To check whether it was merely a bluff, he deliberately stole the hairpin lying on her table.
00:43After running for quite a while without being chased,
00:46he thought he had imagined everything.
00:47When suddenly a cold voice rang out,
00:49Leave the object, then you can go.
00:51He turned back in shock.
00:52The young woman was already standing on a distant rooftop.
00:54When he tried to leave, she struck him with a palm attack.
00:56Only when he blocked it did he realize that despite her fragile appearance,
00:59she possessed overwhelming power.
01:01She knocked him flying with a kick, refusing to accept defeat.
01:03He attacked again, but was quickly beaten.
01:05She simply smiled before disappearing.
01:07The next morning, she returned to her family dojo and finally removed her male disguise.
01:11As she was about to rest, her father stopped her and scolded her harshly.
01:14A martial arts tournament was approaching,
01:15yet instead of helping the dojo, she spent her days playing around.
01:18He even compared her to her younger brother, saying she couldn't measure up to him.
01:21She recalled that after her mother's death,
01:22her father had personally forbidden her from practicing martial arts, crushing her talent.
01:25He raised his hand to strike her, but her stepmother intervened,
01:28pretending to take the blame and claiming the girl's rebellious nature was her own fault.
01:31The young woman remained silent,
01:33knowing the stepmother only wanted to make her seem unworthy so the father would favor his own son.
01:37Soon after, the father left.
01:38Her brother came to see her.
01:39Their father had ordered intensive training for everyone.
01:42To further humiliate her, he brought in a kitchen servant to act as her training partner.
01:46After her brother left, the young woman saw the servant struggling to sweep leaves in the courtyard.
01:50Calmly, she told him to treat sweeping like martial arts training and finish within 10 minutes.
01:53Then he could fetch her a jar of wine.
01:55The servant thought it impossible, but tried anyway.
01:57Repeating the technique, she whispered to him.
01:59With a single sweep, all the leaves vanished instantly.
02:01He realized, then, that his mistress possessed unimaginable skill.
02:04At that moment, the dojo gates were kicked open.
02:06The rival dojo had come to challenge them.
02:08The brother immediately accepted.
02:09The young woman also stepped on the platform,
02:11but her furious father shouted that it was no place for trash like her.
02:14She quietly stepped down and sat.
02:16Encouraged by their stepmother, the brother fought, but he was no match.
02:18The rival young master knocked him down with a kick and mocked the dojo,
02:21saying no one there was worthy.
02:22The young woman then stood up and pushed the servant onto the platform.
02:25Feeling insulted, the rival young master attacked at once.
02:28But with a simple defensive move, the servant sent him flying.
02:31The father froze in shock.
02:32Enraged, the young master drew his sword.
02:34The young woman tossed the servant a broom and said,
02:36Do it like when you sweep.
02:38The next moment, a colossal force erupted and the young master collapsed.
02:41The servant shouted in delight that he had one,
02:43only to be suddenly attacked and thrown to the ground.
02:46The rival master himself had entered the platform.
02:48Seeing his murderous gaze,
02:49the father realized he might not be able to save the dojo that day.
02:52Coldly, he told his daughter she was worthless and would never be allowed to practice martial arts,
02:56and that the dojo had no need of her.
02:57He ordered her to leave immediately.
02:59Expressionless, she decided to depart.
03:01Back in her room, the servant brought her a package and a letter.
03:03A carriage was ready.
03:04She could leave Unicity at any time.
03:06Thinking her father was humiliating her one last time,
03:08she threw the letter aside.
03:09But when a jade pendant that had belonged to her mother fell out,
03:12she quickly opened the envelope.
03:13It was her mother's handwriting.
03:14My daughter, like me, has a body perfectly suited for martial arts.
03:17But if we practice, we will not live beyond the age of 20.
03:20You must protect her and prevent her from training.
03:22Reading a second letter written by her father,
03:24she realized he had arranged everything to protect her all along.
03:27She then remembered her father was still on the platform,
03:29injured and weakened, no longer a match for the enemy,
03:31who had even realized he was pretending to protect his daughter.
03:34He knelt and begged for mercy as the fatal blow was about to fall.
03:37In the next instant, the young woman appears.
