Lightning Degree
Lightning Degree is a vibrant and action-packed martial arts manhwa that follows Ryu-Yeon, an orphan who is "scouted" by a mysterious and eccentric old man to become his sole disciple. Rather than traditional meditation or swordplay, Ryu-Yeon’s training consists of grueling manual labor, chores, and bizarre exercises designed to master the legendary "Lightning Degree"—a martial art that utilizes extreme speed and precision.
After years of being treated like a servant and being forced to dress and act like a girl to satisfy his master's whims, Ryu-Yeon finally descends from the mountain as a world-class martial artist. Now a young man with unparalleled skills (and a slightly warped personality), he enters the wider Murim world to find his own path. Blending high-tier comedy, "hidden master" tropes, and satisfying overpowered action, Lightning Degree is perfect for fans of The Greatest Estate Developer and Return of the Blossoming Blade.
