Synopsis

I woke up to find that the book had finally received a rating. It’s still below passing, but I’m grateful for all the readers’ support!

Zhang Qilin scored just over 500 on the college entrance exam, yet managed to get into the archaeology department of a top-tier university through a lucky opening. During his first-year break, he remembered the mysterious cave behind his family’s home, where he used to play as a child. Armed with only a half-baked knowledge of the subject, he decided to try his hand at some amateur field archaeology.

Who could have guessed that the place where he used to play hide-and-seek wasn’t an ancient tomb, but the ruins of an old martial arts sect? It turned out that the wuxia novels of Jin, Liang, and Gu weren’t fiction after all. Ancient martial arts had merely been buried by history. And so Zhang Qilin strayed further and further down the path of archaeology, or tomb raiding, all in pursuit of cultivation and immortality.

While everyone else was still training in the Ming and Dark Force stages, Zhang Qilin could already hurt people with a flick of a flower or a leaf, striking with qi...

Any Good Urban Superpower Novels?

Guys, I haven't found an urban novel this much to my taste in years. The protagonist has a superpower. At first, I thought it was a System-powered wish-fulfillment story, but after more than 80,000 words, I realized it's actually an alien-themed wild ride. Who knows what other twists are coming?

Any Modern Urban Fantasy Stories with Superpowers?

I noticed that when you search for urban supernatural powers on Tomato Novel, everything is about the apocalypse, spiritual qi revival, and monsters invading. Just because Selling Great Strength and Slime became popular, does every novel have to follow the same formula? I miss Paper God, which was purely about supernatural battles, and Blue and White Society, which was full of wildly imaginative ideas.
