Martial Arts Longevity: All Thanks to My Unbeatable Bragging

A fantasy take on “From.”

In a martial world where human lives are as worthless as weeds, the common folk can barely afford to eat.

Worse still, terrifying anomalies descend every night. They are immensely powerful and devour people without a trace. Only powerful martial artists can fight them, or else people must keep their doors firmly shut and hide in spaces protected by spirit stones.

To survive, Gu Yan's older sister, Gu Ling, uses her striking beauty to enter the palace as a selected maiden, supporting Gu Yan with her monthly stipend.

Unexpectedly, the emperor favors Gu Ling, and she gives birth to a prince. But that prince also becomes the Ninth Prince, whose maternal family has the weakest background of all.

Sixteen years later, the emperor dies.

The battered Ninth Prince finds Gu Yan and hands him his mother's blood-written letter.

That day, Gu Yan shattered the gates of Great Xia, which had stood unbreached for a thousand years, with a single palm strike.

That day, Gu Yan fought Great Xia's six grandmasters alone.

That day, Gu Yan took his nephew by the hand and led him to the throne.
