On this continent of scholars and warriors, martial cultivators can best push their bodies to their limits. They practice martial energy, but cannot pursue scholarly cultivation. Scholarly cultivators are different: they wield scholarly energy, and can also strengthen their bodies to combine with it and unleash tremendous power. Because resources are unevenly distributed, scholars and warriors are often at odds across the continent. With their scholarly energy, scholarly cultivators can continually supply power and provide healing, making them highly sought after. Yet they account for only 20% of the population. It is said that practicing martial arts makes people stupid, and there are many fools as a result, which has led to the martial cultivators' considerable numbers and created a balance of power. Those chosen by fate can cultivate both as scholars and warriors. Bearing the fortune of the continent, they keep this land, torn by conflict between scholars and warriors, peaceful and stable. Caught up in the complicated struggles of the imperial family, Chu He, a prince abandoned outside the palace, begins a life full of hardship. He is raised by Old Mo, who treats him like his own son. But one day, a joke from Chu He forces the two to part, and he sets out on his own path in life.
What he does not know is that an implacable web seems to have bound his fate tight. It all begins on this continent of scholars and warriors...
Cultivation levels are measured in ranks, from one to ten, with each higher rank being stronger.
Martial cultivators have ten ranks; scholarly cultivators have nine ranks of scholarly energy and eight ranks of martial energy.
Sigh, if the numbers aren't good, I don't want to keep writing.
