In 2005, when Eunuch Cao, the greatest under heaven, retired, martial arts dramas fell back twenty years.
Chen Feng opened his eyes and found himself in this "winter of martial arts dramas." Every street was full of Ren Woxing, Linghu Chong, and Zhang Wuji, but none of them knew martial arts. The pinnacle of combat was an old lady fighting over eggs.
The System tasked him with raising the world's martial arts level, so he started selling blind boxes of martial arts manuals. A single draw had originally cost ten silver taels, but Chen Feng jacked the price up to a thousand gold taels. He called it, "The System doesn't understand economics. This is a monopoly."
Once customers mastered a technique, Chen Feng automatically mastered it too. Ren Woxing hit the jackpot with a single draw of the Star Absorbing Technique, then turned around and sucked Left Lengchan's internal energy completely dry. Left Lengchan emptied the Songshan Sect's coffers, spending 50,000 silver taels on five draws. He got four N-rank manuals and one R-rank manual, then went back only to have Ren Woxing block his door and suck him dry until his legs went weak. Yue Buqun threw 150,000 taels at the boxes and drew a stack of techniques: Poison Sand Palm, Heart-Severing Palm, and Five Poisons Divine Art. At the very end, a golden light flashed: Toad Skill. The Gentleman Sword crouched on the ground, puffing out his cheeks. Could it be that you know I'm dark inside? Why are all the martial arts you gave me from the "yin" school?
