In the high-martial post-apocalypse, Lu Cheng is a senior in high school in the Xia Kingdom.
That year, all martial arts students must consume a [Devil Fruit] to begin their path as martial artists.
The fruit determines a martial artist’s future! Ancient Zoan fruits are coveted by everyone, while Mythical Zoans are supreme above all.
But Lu Cheng, whose grades are the best in both academics and martial arts, awakens an utterly ordinary Zoan [Fish-Fish Fruit].
“Hahaha! So what if you’re number one? You ended up as a fish, an ordinary type!”
“Look at that, the swim team’s got itself a genius!”
“What a useless fruit. What a waste of those nearly perfect theory scores!”
Overnight, he goes from the school’s most admired academic ace to its biggest laughingstock.
Faced with endless ridicule, Lu Cheng looks at the blank [Fish-Fish Fruit · Mythical Zoan] entry on his fruit System panel and smiles.
You think I’m just a little fish?
You have no idea. My fish doesn’t need water! It’s going to soar into the sky!
When a beast tide attacks the city, the geniuses’ Ancient Zoans and Superhuman fruits are defeated one after another. The city is on the verge of falling, and its people are about to die.
At the edge of a sheer cliff thousands of feet high, Lu Cheng swallows his last healing pill. His body soaked in blood, he throws back his head and laughs:
“Ninefold Dragon Ascension, perfected today!”
“Watch closely! There’s an old saying in the Xia Kingdom: a fish leaps through the Dragon Gate!”
In the next instant, a dragon’s roar shatters the clouds of the highest heavens, and the vast body of a blue dragon blocks out the sky.
Beneath its boundless dragon might, millions of gods and demons tremble.
Everyone who once mocked him has just one thought now:
“Is... is he really a fish?”
What do you say? It's a very classic routine, where others don't like the protagonist, and then the protagonist slaps the opponent in the face. The protagonist's family background is not good, and then he meets the monk who sweeps the floor in the teaching building, and is supported by a peerless strong man. The head teacher thought that the protagonist was not capable of participating in the trial and wanted the protagonist to quit. As a result, the protagonist got first place in the exam and slapped the head teacher in the face. The former little brother felt that the protagonist's awakening ability was not as good as his own, so he betrayed the protagonist, and the protagonist slapped the younger brother in the face. Overall, it's not bad. In fact, it's a very classic routine, and then the protagonist uses Kaido's Devil Fruit, but there's really nothing new about it.
It feels okay, but the plot is a bit slow. When can I transform into a dragon?
