Among them, the strongest in the martial world are mostly insane.
They train day and night with the intent to kill, skipping meals and holding in their needs to meditate and increase their inner strength.
This madness is akin to a monkey swinging dual swords all day to kill other monkeys, or sitting in a lotus position without moving because it thinks its skills are lacking.
A crazy monkey swinging swords.
A crazy monkey meditating in front of a wall.
This is the essence of a martial artist.
Even those who claim to be righteous heroes or the martial alliance, who always shout about justice, are not much different.
Whether they are heroes or leaders of the martial alliance, they are driven mad by the desire to excel in martial arts.
In this sense, martial arts make the mad even crazier.
Just as there is no end to learning, there is no end to mastering martial arts.
Because they choose a path with no visible end and strive to reach its destination, martial artists go mad faster than others.
Sometimes, both body and mind go mad simultaneously, and this is called "deviation into madness."
Of course, I have experienced it too.
The ancient sages said, "Do not teach those who are not human."
It means not to teach anything to those lacking in character, but in truth, martial arts are studies that should not be taught to those who are not human.
What would a madman do if he gained powerful martial arts? He would unleash his primal desires without hesitation.
Lustful demons obsessed with women and devils obsessed with slaughter spread like a plague, and as more people train in martial arts to kill these creatures, that place becomes the martial world.
Therefore, when people say the principles of the martial world have fallen to the ground, it means there are more madmen who have learned martial arts than normal people who have learned martial arts.
When there are too many madmen, even the heroes trying to catch them go mad, so the martial world has always been crazy.
In such a martial world, I lived by beating madmen to death.
Madmen were hiding in the righteous path, and there were quite a few in the dark path.
The demonic path is full of those who compete to see who is crazier and even rank themselves.
I attacked those who deserved to die without regard for their faction, which made me many enemies, but even so, I despise the demonic path the most.
In the righteous path, there are sometimes heroes who try to uphold human decency.
In the dark path, there are often bold men who try not to cross the line.
However, the demonic path is generally like a half-crazed monkey, spewing poison from its mouth, unleashing lightning from its sword, and using bizarre skills to freeze the surroundings with inner strength, tormenting people with sudden tricks from the shadows.
This situation, where these crazy monkeys have mostly taken over the martial world, is called the demonic world, and that is the current era.
I beat madmen to death by any means necessary.
Yet, there are still too many monkeys around me...
I am the Mad Demon.
