Wielding the Sword for the People

(Traditional fantasy, two male leads, slow burn)

He was born a prodigy, into a prestigious family, and blessed with striking looks.

A darling of the heavens and the apple of the age's eye, he nonetheless embarked on a path diametrically opposed to that of the Child of Destiny.

Without a master to legitimize his teachings? So what. There will be one after me, Li Zhengqing.

He was born into humble circumstances, a man forsaken by fate.

But now, the fate of all living beings rests in his hands.

Generations have passed down their legacy, all in pursuit of the pinnacle of martial arts.

After a century of warfare, the human race gradually gave rise to powerful martial artists.

Mages, mechanisms, forging, swordsmanship, military theory...

Ranks of strength: C, B, A, Grandmaster, Venerable.

Every family closely guards its own cultivation methods.

They intermarry or form alliances, establishing sects and schools.

Dynasties rise and fall, but powerful sects endure through the ages.

P.S. No harem, no System, pure love from the author.
