[Main path: martial arts, side path: imperial examinations]+ [Decisive and ruthless]+ [Slay demons and vanquish evil]+ [Deduction]

[A satisfying story with clever characters]

Demons ravage the land, and evil spirits run rampant.

Huo Yuan transmigrates into the body of a frail scholar, bringing with him the [Hundred Demons Almanac].

Every demon he records unlocks a book, allowing him to draw the martial arts contained within.

Sharing those books earns him Reputation Points, which he can use to deduce new martial arts.

Record the [White Snake], unlock "Madam White Snake Forever Sealed Beneath Leifeng Pagoda", and obtain the martial art [Demon-Subduing Fist].

Record the [Enchantress Demon], unlock "A Chinese Ghost Story", and obtain the martial art [Sword Control Technique].

From [Demon-Subduing Fist] to [Vajra Demon-Subduing Seal] to [Immovable Wisdom King Seal].

From [Sword Control Technique] to the divine ability [Myriad Swords Return to the Source].

The books he writes and the poems he composes are adored by countless scholars.

The demons he slays and the fiends he vanquishes leave martial artists across the land astounded.

“What? You say scholars are useless?”

Huo Yuan stands atop a demon's corpse and smiles without a word.

“What? You say scholars are all pretty boys?”

Huo Yuan raises his arm and flexes his biceps.

“What? You say a scholar has become a Martial Saint?”

Huo Yuan smiles knowingly. No, I'm still a Confucian Sage!

With a book in his left hand and a sword in his right, he spreads the Way through literature and protects the realm through martial might.

“My name is Huo Yuan. I'll be waiting for you at the peak of the world!”
