Lord of the City: I Started Out as an Abandoned Heir

In 2135, more than a century after the global spiritual qi revival, martial arts have become the mainstream of the new world. Ten realms, from the Body Tempering Realm, which tempers the flesh, to the Emperor Realm, which can shatter the void, define society's hierarchy.

Chen Fan, the Chen family's eldest grandson, is cast out after his father is branded a “traitor to the clan.” Reduced to hauling bricks and treated as a discarded young master, he endures one humiliation after another. On the brink of death, he awakens the peerless cultivation art, Dragon Abyss Scripture.

From then on, Chen Fan rises from a good-for-nothing in the Body Tempering Realm, turning his fortunes around in the urban jungle, delivering face-slapping justice to his enemies, exposing his family's schemes, and dominating the city. In the end, he reaches the peak of martial arts and writes a legend of his journey from cast-off young master to Martial Venerable.
