I Study My Way to Sainthood in Great Qin, and Heaven Begs Me to Join the Rankings

Ying Yu, the “most useless” young master of the Great Qin dynasty, too weak to even wring a chicken’s neck? That’s just a rumor! He gets stronger just by reading: high-yield crops feed the six rival states, refined salt and white sugar benefit the common people, and advanced steelmaking equips Great Qin’s cavalry... His reputation even surpasses that of his imperial father! The people cry, “Anyone who dares lay a hand on the Seventh Prince will be drowned in our spit!” Peerless martial arts? He knows those too! Dugu Nine Swords’ Chicken-Breaking Stance, Shaolin Dragon Claw for gutting foes, Tianshan Six Yang Palms... Cooking? That’s right: in his hands, peerless martial arts are just top-tier culinary skills! Ying Yu: “I’ll keep a low profile, lie low while I cultivate, and aim for immortality!” The Heavenly Dao: “No, you don’t!” A ranking of martial arts that shatter the void appears, listing the mightiest techniques under heaven! As the list begins to reveal the users of those “mysterious” martial arts... Zhang Sanfeng, Ye Gucheng, Di Shitian, and others all make the cut. And one certain Great Qin prince who uses “Chicken-Breaking Stance” and “Cooking Palms” is about to be exposed! Ying Yu looks up at the golden list in the sky and rubs his forehead. “It’s over. My carefree days are done!” Ying Zheng slams the table and laughs heartily. “Well done, boy! I knew there was more to you than met the eye!”
