In the first light of dawn over Qingyang City, Lin Che, the Lin family's legitimate son, throws a punch that parts the morning mist. The inner force gathering at his fist is almost enough to tear through the air. This boy, hailed as a once-in-a-generation genius, is knocking on the gates of martial arts at an astonishing pace. Mortals temper their muscles and bones; inner force begins to take root; true qi unleashed can shake heaven and earth. On the Xuanyuan Continent, where might makes right, every breakthrough brings a broader world, but also conceals deadlier dangers.
Lin Che and Bai Shuo, the Bai family's second son, have known each other since childhood. One's fists can shatter stone, fierce and unmatched; the other's sword flows like clouds, upright and chivalrous. They are both the best of brothers and the strongest of rivals. They train together at Qingyang City's martial arena, vowing to leave this little city side by side and witness a far greater world of martial arts. Yet the feuds between great clans never cease. The Wang family's provocations loom like dark clouds, and conspiracies are quietly taking shape in the shadows. Beneath their peaceful lives, a hidden tide surges.
When danger suddenly strikes and the calm of the past is shattered for good, Lin Che and Bai Shuo can only grip their fists and swords and carve through the brambles ahead with the passion and sharp edge of youth. From the narrow confines of Qingyang City to the sweeping upheavals engulfing the continent; from novice warriors to the pinnacle of martial arts, looking down upon all living beings. This is a journey of growth, a bond of friendship, and an anthem to martial arts, composed with fists and will and blazing through the nine heavens. The road ahead is long and powerful enemies surround them. See how these two young men forge their own legendary path across this magnificent, otherworldly continent.
