A chapter of pure martial arts, with narration! It fits the spirit of this manga- Yajin is all about that life-or-death combat, more than the 'everybody is trying to betray and murder me' life.

That said, I hate to say that the art didn't match up. In some panels Yajin's leg muscles look like a bag packed full of straw. And the flow from one movement to the next doesn't always work. It's the difference between a 9/10 chapter and a 7/10. Not the worst. Just the sting of missed potential.

Overall a good chapter! Yajin has finally met a very strong person who isn't a bloodthirsty murder-thief, and that has implications. Training arc? New party/companion? Or just another source of personal tragedy?!

How about a round of Gwent?

Yajin has faced foes that gave him a challenge before, but Ben is on another level. I wonder if Yajin could have truly defeated him if it wasn't just a sparing match. 🤔

Thanks for the upload.
A swordsman stepping into the range of an opponent he has an advantage over reach-wise (and staying there) is absurd, which means Ben either was either entirely out of his league and toying with him, or the author has no idea what he's doing at all. Given that comment about an "inner hide layer" on an obviously skin-tight suit, I'm leaning towards the latter, unfortunately...
