Chu Chen was born in a remote mountain village. Though his origins were humble, from an early age he showed extraordinary talent and passion for the sword. Whenever he saw the village hunters wielding blades as they hunted, or passing martial heroes demonstrating their swordsmanship, his eyes would shine with fervor, and his longing for the sword would grow stronger.
By chance, while gathering herbs in the mountains, Chu Chen stumbled upon an ancient cave abode. A mysterious aura filled the place, and its walls were covered in strange sword patterns and ancient runes. Deep inside, he found a nameless sword manual. Its writing was obscure and difficult to understand, but Chu Chen was captivated by the sword intent it contained. With astonishing perseverance and a unique understanding of the sword, Chu Chen began studying the manual day and night, attempting to master the sword techniques recorded within.
