The Chinese Martial Arts Maniac Who Goes Crazy for Hype

[Showbiz + Superstar + Competition + System + Traditional Martial Arts]

“With fists that shake the mountains and rivers, and feet that rule the ring and command the eight directions!”

“No one helps me reach for the clouds, so I'll add points myself and climb to the summit!”

“This glory spread across the land, these dazzling flowers, will all bear my name: Gu Chen!”

After transmigrating to a parallel world, Gu Chen unexpectedly binds himself to a “Popularity Value System.” Starting out as a martial arts student at National Sixth High School, he shakes up the world with his “unhinged” style.

He sweeps through interschool martial arts leagues with Bajiquan, drawing in traffic with both scandals and skill. He crosses into game development to create the hit game Angry Gu Qian, setting the internet ablaze with his razor-sharp voice pack. He also breaks into film and television, making his mark with both kung fu and acting.

From heated bouts in school arenas, to undercurrents in Hong Kong's stunt world, to battles over fame and fortune in showbiz, Gu Chen relentlessly trades popularity for strength as he makes wild forays into traditional martial arts, gaming, and film and television.

When traditional martial arts meet the secrets of internet fame, and System quests collide with the grudges of the martial world, he carves out a path to the top amid a chorus of doubts, declaring, “Kung fu isn't just for show.” In the end, he lets the light of traditional martial arts illuminate every corner of the age.
