Becoming the Swordmaster Rank Young Lord of the Sichuan Tang Family (Korean: 사천당가의 소드마스터급 소공자, RR: Sacheondangga-ui Sodeumaseuteogeup Sogongja) is a unique "fusion" Murim manhwa written by Gat-Jin and illustrated by 99. It is highly popular for its creative premise: a master of Western swordsmanship reincarnating into the heart of a legendary Eastern martial arts family.

The story follows Adel, a legendary Swordmaster from a Western fantasy world who reaches the pinnacle of his craft but dies in battle. He is reborn as Tang So-hyeop, the youngest and most neglected son of the prestigious Sichuan Tang Family—a clan famous for poisons and hidden weapons, not swords. In a world where the Tang family is looked down upon for their "cowardly" methods and where his own family considers him a failure, Tang So-hyeop begins to apply the principles of high-level Western sword aura to the Eastern internal energy system, shocking the entire Murim world.

Core Characteristics & Tropes

• East-Meets-West Power System: This is the series' biggest draw. The protagonist combines the "Aura" and "Mana" principles of his past life with the "Qi" and "Cultivation" of the Murim world, creating a hybrid fighting style that no one can predict.

• The Black Sheep of the Tang Clan: The Tang family is strictly about poisons and needles. Seeing a member of this clan wield a heavy sword with absolute mastery creates a massive stir and shatters the traditions of the martial arts world.

• Underdog Transformation: Tang So-hyeop starts as a sickly, ignored child. His sudden rise to power isn't just about strength; it’s about him navigating the toxic politics of the Tang family and earning respect through sheer force.

• Vibrant Art Style: The series features clean, modern art with a focus on high-speed sword effects and the unique visual representation of the Tang family’s poisonous techniques.
