Sui-Tang: Yuanba, Junior Brother, You Dropped Your Hammers

When modern young man Chen Hao wakes up, he has transmigrated to the end of the Sui dynasty and become a naked wild boy riding a white tiger. He crosses paths with the Daoist grandmaster Ziyang Zhenren, who tries to divine his fate but sees only chaos. Ziyang secretly takes him as a disciple, making him the senior fellow apprentice of Li Yuanba, the invincible warrior whom he has never met.

From then on, a maverick joins the turbulent world of the Sui and Tang dynasties, wandering freely and living without restraint. With a silver tongue, he wins over Shan Xiongxin, chieftain of the Green Forest, and forges a bond with him. Through a daring contest of wit and courage, he gets Pei Yuanqing to lead his horse and attend to his needs. He becomes Yuwen Chengdu’s lifelong nightmare, and when Li Yuanba finally leaves seclusion, Ziyang’s prophecy rings out: “The only person in the world who can defeat you is your senior fellow apprentice.”

A tiger’s roar startles ten thousand horses; Taiji subdues Yuanba. He battles the heroes alone on Mount Waggang and defeats the eighteen club-wielding monks outside Chang’an. When he and Li Shimin face off in their final showdown, the fate of the realm will be about more than a change of dynasty. He intends to build a whole new Huaxia, where “everyone can become a dragon.” After achieving his goal, he marches north with iron hooves and massacres Goguryeo three times to avenge old blood debts. He then campaigns east to the islands of Wa, wiping out the entire people to eliminate future threats.
