[Wuxia, in the style of a storytelling performance, suited to listening] [Inspired by The Legend of Tong Lin]
During the Shunji era of the Great Yan, the street thug Shi Jinyu joined the Boundless Sect by a twist of fate and learned astonishing skills. On his first trip down the mountain, he struck an Arhat with his palm and swept away a Vajra with his staff, earning the fearsome reputation of the "Sea-Calming Hero Who Shakes the Blue Seas"...
[I'm a huge fan of The Legend of Tong Lin, which is why I started writing this book.]
[There are a few things in The Legend of Tong Lin that I don't like, so I'll change them.]
[First, there are too many characters, so I'll cut down the cast in my book.]
[Second, all the heroes are old men, so I'll make them appropriately younger.]
[Third, few people die in the duels, so the death rate in my book will be a little higher.]
[One last thing: this isn't fanfiction, and it's definitely not plagiarism. I'm only borrowing the basic framework of The Legend of Tong Lin. The content is entirely my own.]
