Once a powerful martial artist of the Blood Demon Cult, the protagonist lost everything when his qi center was shattered. Assigned to study martial arts from imprisoned masters, he was ultimately betrayed by the Cult and perished in the ensuing bloodshed. However, fate had other plans. He awakens in the frail body of Baek Suryong, a countryside instructor with only a few years left to live due to illness.
Armed with his knowledge from his past life and facing certain death once more, Baek chooses survival. Realizing that the martial arts he mastered could be the key to saving his new body, he sets out to earn the wealth necessary for a cure. His destination: the Azure Dragon Martial Arts Academy. His goal: become the Star Instructor and rake in enough money to live. Teaching might just become his strongest weapon.
Plot of Star Instructor, Master Baek
Chapter 120 may center on Baek Suryong applying his martial knowledge to push through his physical limitations. The development of his inner energy system could inch closer to a breakthrough, teasing hope for healing his condition. His rare mix of past life expertise and present hardships makes his progression feel both earned and unpredictable.
We may also see tension build at the Azure Dragon Academy. Baek’s unorthodox methods and rising popularity often rub certain instructors the wrong way. If Chapter 120 dives into one of these brewing rivalries, it could result in a strategic martial arts bout—one with deeper implications for his status at the Academy.
Outside the Academy, students may play a larger role. Baek’s blunt, humorous teaching style usually yields unexpected results. Some pupils might reveal latent talents under his guidance, while others resist his guidance altogether. This blend of mentorship and discipline continues to shape both the students and Baek himself.
The chapter might end by hinting at an external threat or mission. Whether it’s an invitation from a rival sect or a chance to earn a hefty sum, Baek could be tempted into stepping outside the Academy. And with death constantly hanging over him, every choice carries weight—both in silver and survival.
