Shin Hyun-Pung is the Chief of the Martial Arts Alliance. He is one of the Ten Grandmasters, the head of the Clear Wind Origin School and an 18th Generation Disciple of the Black Origin School.

It has been shown that he holds immense political influence among the Clan Heads and School Heads, to the point that they came to him for help during a crisis even when Kang Sung was the Alliance Chief at the time. Furthermore he is able to silence anyone within the structure of the alliance and had people killed for even talking about the events of the last Martial Arts Championship.

Appearance[]

His stature is relatively short in comparison to people like Goomoonryong and Kang Sung.  He has short and straight hair that seems to be white. His style of dress is unlike many other Murim. He is seen exclusively in some sort of traditional Korean outfit consisting of hanbok like shirt, pants, and shoes with a patterned coat over it that hangs to his ankles.  

Personality[]

He does his best to maintain the guise of a kindly old master but when pressured he reveals a very different side of him, that of a jealous and vengeful fool. He does not care much about others feelings which has been clearly shown through his treatment of both of Eun Wol's disciples and has show no problem with lying to and about others.  He also seems to care little for his underlings as shown when he waited in safety while the rest of the Martial Arts Alliance risked, and in several cases gave, their lives. When came close to attaining the Art of Black Heaven he grew impatient and gave up his facade in favor of force. In the end, all that counts to him is to get what he wants. He is willing to train Shi-Woon in Martial Arts to the rank that stand above Goomoonryong.

History[]

Past[]

Although little is know about his time as a martial arts student it is revealed that his master was the same as Eun Wol's. He holds a grudge against Eun Wol because of their master decision to pass the Art of Black Heaven to Eun Wol instead of him. Until becoming the Chief of the Alliance, not much is known of what he did, or how he even obtained the position.

When Eun Wol learned how to enter the Dark Origin State he was called by great martial arts masters of the Murim to present the technique in front of them. In the process of using the technique, Eun Wol killed all masters that were present. The Alliance Chief played some part in exiling Eun Wol in a cave forbidding him to ever leave or take a disciple. Eun Wol's student at that time, Yoo Ji, made a deal to bring the secrets of the school to the chief in order to be allowed to see his master. However, Eun Wol never intended to teach him the Art of Black Heaven and thus Yoo Ji didn't hold the secrets of this technique only. Unfortunatly for Yoo Ji, the Chief's only intention was to take that technique.  As he didn't care about the anything else he broke the deal and chased Yoo Ji away telling him to find another school.

In later years, during the Shinmujengpe, Han Chun-Woo appeared and conquered the Nine Seats of Power. The masters that witnessed him along with the chief went to the cave that Eun Wol was supposed to be to ask for an explanation since it was forbidden for him to take a disciple while in exile. That is when Chun-Woo arrived there, proud of attaining the title of Nine Arts Dragon. Taking advantage of the situation the Chief used Chun-Woo to threaten Eun Wol in order to get the information of the technique. However, Eun Wol committed suicide after revealing that Chun-Woo knows the technique. Chun-Woo managed to escape but the Chief kept looking for him since then.

Sometime between these events and the events of The Breaker the chief took the current head of the Sun-Woo Clan, Seonu So-Seol, into alliance custody and began using her to control the Sun-Woo Clan.

The Breaker[]

When Lee Shi-Woon started learning martial arts he came across Hyuk So-Chun and Jang Joon-Ho who were looking for the Nine Arts Dragon, sent by the Chief, but Shi-Woon resisted them and was beaten brutally until Chun-Woo Han arrived to save him revealing himself again after many years. Information about these events were not given to the Chief but another search party discovered Alex and through him, found Chun-Woo Han. He was almost killed but was saved by Shi-Woon. Upon finding a connection between Chun-Woo and the Nine Dragons High School he personally went there to search and they discovered Shi-Woon. The chase started creating chaos in the Murim.

Seeing as the chase had no results, Chief decided to ignore Shi-Woon as his main target and by leaving only a small party after him, he passed false information that Shi-Woon was captured in order to lure Chun-Woo to him. Chun-Woon in the meantime entered the Alliance's building to provoke them resulting in the move of the Iron

FAC

The F.A.C and some masters following his lead

Fist Munju who was killed in their fight.

Setting the "trap" in Koa Tower the Chief tried to lure Chun-Woo there while all masters were together. However, some of them (such as, Yae-Won, Te Ul and Hogi Head‏‎) went to face Chun-Woo separate from the Alliance making the Chief uneasy. Chun-Woo new the info about Shi-Woon was false but went to the Koa Tower willingly. There he was set to fight in a room with all top martial artists of the Alliance and although he seemed to be doing well he was trying to protect Lee Shi-Ho who was with him. When the Chief was pleased to see the fight closing to an end Shi-Woon appeared and took them out. The Chief had put Lee Gyoo-Bum in the door of the tower to prevent anyone from getting in. But since his was member of the Sun-Woo Clan, upon learning from Shi-Woon that So-Seol was no longer under their custody, he didn't have any obligation to obey the Alliance any longer and helped Shi-Woon reach his master.

The next phase of the trap was set on the rooftop. Using gas in the building to prevent them from healing, they pushed the three of them to the roof where the masters were waiting along with the Chief. Unable to replenish his Ki, Chun-Woo was no match for the Chief alone. But when Shi-Ho transferred Ki from Shi-Woon to Chun-Woo the tides were going to change when Hyuntae injured Chun-Woo and later Shi-Ho twice with a gun. Using this chance the Chief said that he would allow them to take her to a hospital only if Chun-Woo were to give up and give the Art of Black Heaven to him. This is when So-Sul, Alex, Takeshi and Dimitri arrived via helicopter to rescue them. In the confusion of trying to escape Jeong Rae-Won shot Shi-Ho, under Kaiser's orders to make Chun-Woo enter the Dark Origin State.

The tides changed and no one could stop Chun-Woo who killed the other masters and was stopped by Samoonryong before he kills the Chief as well. After being brought back by Shi-Woon, Chun-Woo is hit by the Chief who was pretending to be unconscious. Using Shi-Woon as hostage he threaten Chun-Woo in order to take the technique he wanted all along. Chun-Woo, trying to avoid making Shi-Woon feel as he filled when he lost his master, he decided to hit the Chief through Shi-Woon and break his Ki-Center at the same time in order to get him out of the world of Murim. This fatally injured the Chief who begged for mercy before Chun-Woo tried to kill him with the True Seismic Step. The attack was redirected by Kang Sung but the fear of the attack left the chief in a "broken" state.

Abilities & Techniques[]

FAC2

The cheif uses a Ki-Strike against Chun-Woo.

Abilities[]

Real Master Martial Artist (Black Origin Martial Arts): Even though his skills were never explained, the majority of his movements rely on redirecting his opponents movements and striking in the created opening. Even Chun-Woo is taken in by this maneuver albeit he was exhausted from fighting hundreds of masters of the alliance prior. He is a master of the highest level martial artist along with being a skilled politician serving as the Alliance Chief. He was the brother disciple of Eun Wol in the Black Origin School but didn't learn the strongest technique, the Black Origin Threshold. He is very confident in his skills to be able teach Shi-Woon the complete form of Black Origin Martial Arts to become stronger then his former master, Goomoonryoung.

Techniques[]

  • Spirit-Crushing Fist: During the events on the Koa business tower the Alliance Chief revealed that he is capable of using it. His use of the technique is strong enough to repel Goomoonryoung's own Spirit-Crushing Fist and break his left hand which also sent him reeling back.
  • Phantom Steps: During his rescue of Shi-Woon from Jae-gal's assassination attempt, the former alliance chief is shown to be able to appear out of nowhere and landed on Jae-gal's head to perform the focus stomp on him before any of the witnesses noticed him.
  • True Seismic Step: The practitioner uses one leg to stomp their target. The technique is capable of literally crushing concrete and cutting through flesh and bone. Unlike Chun-Woo and Shi-Woon, he knows the True Focus Stomp that belongs to Black Origin School.

Relationships[]

Enemies[]

  • Eun Wol (Deceased): He would banish him to live the rest of his life in a cave, after the massacre of the previous Martial Arts Alliance Members. He also had a hatred towards him as during their time of students under the same master. He was never taught the Black Origin Threshold.
  • Han Chun-Woo: He has greatly hated Chun-Woo for his displayed disrespect and for being the disciple of Eun Wol with the knowledge of the techniques of Black Heaven Arts (Black Origin Threshold).

Allies[]

  • Martial Arts Alliance: As the leader of the alliance, he had control over all schools and members to do his bidding.
  • Lee Shi-Woon: In the beginning as Shi-Woon was the disciple of Goomoonryong, he was an enemy to the alliance chief. The chief would then order his forces to capture the boy believing him to be easily captured but was proven wrong until Kang-Sung stepped in. During the fight on the Koa Tower, the alliance chief would hold Shi-Woon hostage in an attempt to force his master to give up the Dark Origin State which failed. After Chun-Woo's attack on both the Martial Arts Alliance and Seoul, along with Kwon Jae-Kyu's funeral, he returned and saved Shi-Woon from Jae-gal's attack and asked him to become his disciple to learn the full Black Origin Martial Arts to stand above his former master in skills.

Quotes[]

  • Kuhuhu . . . Waiting till the end was all worth it.
  • Are you ready to learn Hyeon Won-Moon's arts and stand above Goomoonryong?
