[Decisive and ruthless + hot-blooded + no romance]
One day of boxing practice, and you’re a beginner.
One year, and you’ve made modest progress.
Ten years, and you’ve mastered the basics.
What about a hundred years of practice?
…
Hundreds of years ago, the Abyss descended and great demons ran rampant.
Only martial arts could carve out a sliver of hope for humanity in the face of certain doom.
The bad news: Zhang Yi has an average aptitude and no talent at all. Three years of high school, and he hasn’t improved a bit.
The good news: He awakens the “Martial Arts Incense Burner.” He uses his lifespan as incense, burning it away to accelerate his martial arts training.
Burn ten years of lifespan, and his boxing reaches [Mastery].
Burn thirty years of lifespan, and his boxing reaches [Perfected Excellence].
Burn fifty years of lifespan, and his boxing reaches [Supreme Proficiency].
Unfortunately, no one has an infinite lifespan.
Luckily, Zhang Yi discovers that the lives of demonic beasts count too, and can likewise be burned to accelerate his martial arts training.
And so begins an era of demon slaying unlike any other, one that belongs to Zhang Yi alone.
…
“Burn a hundred years of lifespan, and this punch reaches [Transcendent Perfection].”
“Then… what if I burn ten thousand years of lifespan…”
