Tribulation of Myriad Races: Whoever Harms My People Shall Be Slain, No Matter How Far Away

Urban high martial arts + smart protagonist + decisive and ruthless + alien species + ancient arts

This is a grand age of cultivation by alien species. Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, stillness, momentum, shock, darkness, light... all are seeds. Those who plant seeds in their minds become secret masters, skilled in wielding the power of rules.

Shen Tianci attends the Interstellar Academy. Shortly before graduation, he is tested and found to have no talent for a lightbrain, meaning he is about to become a lowly commoner. As if that weren’t bad enough, the campus beauty shows up to confess her feelings, hoping to have a perfect romance with him...

At first, all he wants is to learn by secretly observing others, strengthen himself, and, while he’s at it, turn the tables for humanity...

Years later, looking back, he sees smoke rising from battlefields and flames raging. Heroes weep amid clashing swords and iron horses; the barbarians’ flesh and the myriad races’ blood lie scattered across the four seas and eight wilds. I am king.
