The Knockout 2: Black, White, and Gray

Before young Lin Diao was reborn and transmigrated back to the year 2000, Jinghai was still a cesspool of corruption. After transmigrating, he unexpectedly acquired a high-tech smartphone from the year 2060, the intelligent assistant Shaniu. From then on, his life became a breeze. He met An Xin, who would become his lifelong friend, the four Gao and Tang brothers, who could never turn back, and the three powerful members of the Long family from the provincial capital. Even with a cheat like this, he couldn't get everything he wanted.

In this frenzied society, where power rules and everyone is consumed by greed, the young man rose from rags to ruling his own corner of the world in just three years, then to a three-way standoff. Using advanced technology, he took Jinghai by storm, crushed Mang Village, supported the Gao family, and stood by An Xin. He even transmigrated to Wuzhang Plains during the Three Kingdoms era, inadvertently inherited the orthodox Wuhou Qimen arts, and later laid the foundations of his power at Longhu Mountain.

As one mystery after another unfolded, the naive young sapling gradually grew into a towering tree. Yet only at the very end did he discover that an unseen force had been guiding everything all along.

The forces pulling at one another included the various schools of thought, united by their pursuit of justice for all under heaven; the obstinate faction that rose up in the name of purity; and the Taoist school of Longhu Mountain, devoted to upholding the righteous way.

Step by step, he moved from business into politics.

He founded the Tianxia Association, built the Federation, and mastered the three great arts of Longhu Mountain's Old Heavenly Master: Breeze Crossing, the Golden Light Mantra, and the Awe-Inspiring Thunder Method. In the end, he became the one player moving the pieces on the vast board of the world.

“This world is like a game of chess. If one person plays white, someone else has to play black. Only then can the game go on.”

“If this world needs a sword, then we are willing to forge it with our very lives.”
