Winter 2004, Xiong City, Liao Province.
High school senior Xu Sen and his fiancée, Nan Xuan, should have been enjoying a carefree school life. But after Nan Xuan is targeted by street thugs, Xu Sen realizes that weakness itself is a sin. To protect everything he holds dear, he must gain the power to set the rules.
And so, a silent storm, born on campus, quietly begins to gather.
With extraordinary fighting skills, a cool head, and a loyal, honorable nature, Xu Sen quickly unites the people around him. At his side are two utterly loyal right-hand men: Shen Baixi, a “sharp blade” who loves sweets and moves like lightning, and Gu Yan, a “sturdy shield” who says little and has devastating kicks. Behind the scenes, Nan Xuan’s unique wisdom and astonishing good luck repeatedly help him escape danger and find his way forward.
From restoring order in Xiong City to setting foot on Haicheng’s docks; from the gradual return of nine “tiger generals,” each with their own extraordinary skills, to building a vast, disciplined empire spanning several provinces, Xu Sen establishes an order of his own across a frozen wasteland.
But this is only the beginning. When their gaze crosses national borders and turns toward the wider, more dangerous worlds of Sakura Country, Eagle Country, and Bear Country, the real journey is only just beginning.
This is a story of growth, protection, and conquest. Watch as a young man starts out in a school uniform, makes the world his territory, and ultimately becomes the underground king of his generation.
