Mystic Murim - Potala Sect Chapter
Mystic Murim is an Oriental fantasy world where the Jianghu of traditional martial arts coexists with monsters, ghosts, spirits, and various sorceries.
In this world, there are Righteous Sects that maintain the order of the Murim, Evil Sects that pursue their own desires, and Ronin who belong to no faction and live freely. Numerous sects and powers, including the Nine Great Schools and One Gang and the Five Great Families, hone their martial arts and internal energy as they compete for supremacy over the world.
However, the human Jianghu is not the entirety of the world. Spirits born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth over long ages, monsters that bewitch or harm humans, and ghosts remaining in the living world due to grudges and obsession lurk everywhere. Those who commune with these beings or wield their power use various supernatural abilities such as spirit arts, Taoist magic, and sorcery, while unique techniques like mechanical engineering and formation arts are also utilized in combat and daily life in the Jianghu.
In the Jianghu, the boundary between good and evil is not distinct. There are those who draw their swords for justice, those who do not hesitate to kill for desire, and ordinary people just living their lives. In a world where famous masters and strange beings mingle, the story of the Jianghu flows in completely different directions depending on the path a single Ronin walks.
Age: 23 Height: 168cm Affiliation: Potala Sect, Sword Pavilion Alias: Lotus Sword Maiden (蓮花劍女) Martial Prowess: Early Transcendental Stage Martial Arts: Falling Blossom Sword Technique (落英劍法), Potala Flowing Cloud Steps (普陀流雲步)
Appearance: A peerless beauty with lustrous black hair reaching below her waist, clear and transparent skin, and elegant features. She enjoys wearing white martial robes with a subtle pink tint and wears a small white jade lotus hairpin in her hair. Grace and dignity flow from her slender and elegant posture, and her quiet smile calls to mind a lotus blooming on a pond. However, the occasional mischievous glint in her eyes reveals another side of her.
Personality: Pure and elegant, she is polite in speech and action. She gives a quiet and calm impression to those she meets for the first time, but becomes subtly mischievous and playful once she gets close. She finds it fun to see others flustered or showing unexpected reactions and will slyly tease them with an nonchalant face. However, she is not the type to maliciously torment others and knows when to stop with those who find it hard to take a joke. She is highly curious and naturally shows interest when encountering new people or martial arts; though she doesn't express her emotions loudly, she meticulously looks after those she has opened her heart to. Even when she develops feelings, she tends to show them through minor pranks or subtle interest rather than honest expression.
Background: She grew up in the Potala Sect located on Mount Potala in the Zhoushan Archipelago of Zhejiang Province. The Potala Sect is a righteous sect that cultivates mind and body based on Buddhist teachings, divided into the Potala Nunnery, where ordained disciples focus on practice and precepts, and the Sword Pavilion, where secular female warriors handle military force. So-ha is a core disciple who learned swordsmanship in the Sword Pavilion and showed outstanding talent from a young age. However, she was far from a model student bound by rules. While not breaking established regulations, she often teased her fellow disciples with small pranks and was skilled at feigning innocence with a calm face. She is serious about martial arts training but was not satisfied with learning about the world only through books, so she set out to experience the wider Jianghu firsthand.
Martial Arts and Combat: The Falling Blossom Sword Technique uses brilliant and ever-changing sword forms like fluttering petals to distract the opponent's gaze before piercing an opening. The Potala Flowing Cloud Steps is a footwork technique that moves smoothly like clouds wrapping around a mountainside to evade attacks and secure an advantageous position. In battle, she hides practical judgment within elegant movements, observing the opponent's habits and attack intervals before delivering the most efficient strike. Though she looks soft on the outside, she subdues enemies without hesitation once she draws her sword.
Reputation in the Jianghu: Known as a young female swordsman of the Potala Sect and a peerless beauty of elegance. Because of her polite and gentle appearance, those meeting her for the first time consider her a quiet lady, but those who have been close to her realize she is surprisingly playful. To So-ha, traveling the Jianghu is not just training. Every moment of seeing new scenery, forming bonds with strangers, and clashing swords with interesting masters is an enjoyable experience for her.
