Synopsis

My name is Chen Mo, an insignificant nobody scraping by at the very bottom of the Great Xia Empire. Every day, I haul bundles of cargo heavier than my life itself at the docks, earning only enough copper coins to quiet half my hunger. Then one day, the foreman kicked Old Zhang’s leg and snapped it like a stick of firewood. Blood splattered across my numb face. In that moment, what flared in my chest wasn’t anger, but a pain that seared my heart! I knew that in an empire where might makes right and class barriers are made of iron, without power, you don’t even have the right to be treated like a person.

The first time my fists were stained with blood was in a dark alley. I traded my life for nothing but deeper despair and a body nearly broken beyond repair. Yet even in that heap-of-garbage kind of predicament, I managed to seize a straw that could change my fate: an ancient, brutal method for tempering Bright Force. From then on, my world held nothing but pain! The burning as my muscles tore, the grinding as my bones groaned, the sticky feel of sweat soaking through me... Every punch was a silent roar against fate. From the brute struggle of early-stage Bright Force to the late stage, when sinew and bone rang in unison and every punch exploded like a cannon! In the bloody battles at the docks, I used my scarred body to tell my oppressors: the lives of people at the bottom are not worth less than blades of grass!

But when I crossed the threshold into Dark Force and glimpsed the mysteries of circulating qi and blood and channeling power through the body, I finally saw the empire’s true filth! The heir to the Zhao financial conglomerate treated human lives like playthings. The pens of imperial bureaucrats were sharper than knives, weaving webs that devoured people. The bloodshed in underground fight clubs was no more than a gladiatorial arena for their amusement. Their schemes clung to everything I cherished like maggots burrowing into bone. Dark Force is sinister? Good! Then I’ll use this subtle, bone-piercing power to tear away their polished facade and show the world the pus and blood flowing beneath!
