Dark River: Hard Work Pays Off, I Train My Blade Art to the Martial Saint Realm

Xie Zhan transmigrates into the Xie family, one of the three great families of the Dark River. From the start, he obtains the Heaven Rewards the Diligent System. After drawing his blade a hundred million times over three years, he reaches the pinnacle of sword-drawing techniques.

Just as the Dark River's Grand Patriarch falls into crisis and the three families scheme to claim his position, Xie Zhan, an unknown nobody, is sent to compete for it too.

Amid the chaos of the Dark River, tired of power struggles and unable to stomach watching the Northern Li imperial family toy with the organization, he gathers young prodigies like Su Muyu and challenges the Soul-Lifting Hall.

"A Heavenly Realm clan head? The three officials of the Soul-Lifting Hall? One slash is all it takes!"

"In the Dark River, my blade makes the rules!"

He strides into the wind and draws his blade in a single stroke. In an instant, the name Xie Zhan, the One-Sword Style, spreads throughout the martial world.

"From now on, I'll make the rules for killing in the Dark River! If I want someone dead, they're dead! If I don't, no one can kill them!"

"If you disagree, draw your blade against me!"

What's more, many beautiful confidantes are won over by Xie Zhan's blade.

White Crane Healer: Young Master Xie, please protect me!

Mu Yumo: Brother Zhan, you cut me until I'm bleeding. Come stop the bleeding for me tonight.

Li Hanyi: I challenge the Dark River to a sword duel. If I lose, you can do as you please.
