Status Panel: Rising to Power in Qingming Town

A bronze ancient disk floated above his head, its dark red patterns crawling like living creatures. The number for Basic Swordsmanship: 999/1000 made his pupils tremble.

Ding! Proficiency maxed out.

A streak of golden light split his brow. The Qi Refining Third Stage, which had held him back for ten years, suddenly shattered as he teetered on the brink of death!

Outside town, the footsteps of twelve pursuers drew closer.

They didn't know that the good-for-nothing they'd always trampled into the mud was now staring at a newly added skill on his panel: Bloodshadow Step: 0/1000. His fingers slowly brushed the bloodstained broken sword at his waist.

Starting today,

The arena of Qingming Town will witness his sword. The starry skies of Zhongzhou will remember his name. The clouds of the Divine Realm will bear the mark of his path!

The flames of the orphan of the Fire Spirit Clan rose behind him. The silver needles of the reclusive immortal physician pierced the wind. Even the Taotie, always busy gnawing on roast chicken, wiped its mouth: Is this kid really going to punch a hole in the ceiling of this broken world?

When the proficiency of every skill can be converted into power, and every swing of the sword paves the way to the summit,

who can stop a revenger who has crawled out of hell?
