The Dragon-Blooded Prison Lord: A Soldier King's Rise in High Martial Arts

Retired military king Xiao Zhan was branded a “disciplinary offender” after protecting his comrades, then reassigned as a prison guard. By chance, he awakened a golden finger that lets him absorb and convert martial artists’ vital energy and inner strength into his own cultivation. When he proves his mettle suppressing a prison riot, he attracts the attention of ancient martial clans and is dragged into the undercurrents of the city’s high-martial world. From prisons to underground fight clubs, from clan rivalries to the International Martial Arts Federation’s conspiracy, Xiao Zhan crushes every obstacle with the iron will of a battle-hardened soldier. He uncovers the truth behind his comrade’s death and ultimately reaches the pinnacle of martial arts, forging anew the legend of the “Dragonblood Warrior.” The story delivers one exhilarating payoff after another: beating up underground boxing champions in prison, defeating an opponent above his level at a fight club, turning the tables on an ambush at a clan banquet, and fighting a crowd of enemies alone in a secret realm. Every chapter brings face-slapping, comebacks, or breakthrough climaxes.
