⋗ Wow! What a body! It's almost like he's made of iron!

⋗ Even as a journeyman of the Shining Cane sect[1] I don't think I could defeat him.

⋗ I met him once, and I can't say he had much of a personality. He was more passive -- almost feminine -- than I expected. But what physique!

⋗ Well it's not that impressive. Anyone could achieve what he's achieved with the power of the Legendary Iron Body Technique. In fact I'd go so far as to say that the Legendary Iron Body Technique is wasted on him, a useless trash[sic]. If only it was given to a man truly powerful and talented! -- me, for instance, the son of the leader of the Sect of the Nova Fist[2], a handsome, rich, talented, and exquisitely powerful cultivator. In fact -- to prove my superior strength and thus superior worth both as a cultivator and as a man I think I will challenge him to a little fight right now!

⋗ My god that man is being destroyed! Destroyed by the might of the Legendary Iron Body Technique!

⋗ Gack!

[1] Heavy pigiron* handles, carefully cast, elaborately gilded. After each fight they must be recast and gilded again. A very poor sect, and a great favorite of the artisans.

* A trash[sic] metal, precursor to steel; brittle and weak, useless and cheap.

[2] A lame and uninteresting sect. Delusions of grandeur. Only in the early stages of the story. A weak foil only.
