High Martial: I Refuse to Serve the Nation, So I’ll Level Up Alone

Spiritual qi revival brought a world of high martial arts, and the protagonist, Zhang Chufan, awakened the one-of-a-kind F-minus rank ability [Object Hardness +1], making him the very definition of a human-shaped waste of space.

At the same time, fifteen “Primordial Playing Cards” imbued with divine power scattered across the globe. Whoever claimed them could become a god. The Ace of Spades commanded thunder, the King of Hearts became immortal, and every card unleashed a bloody storm. Yet in a pile of trash in an alley, Zhang Chufan found the one everyone agreed was the most useless: the Two of Diamonds, whose power was to make a designated object “square.”

The most useless ability, combined with the most useless God Card.

Then one day, the S-rank monster “Diamond Earth Dragon” crushed a city. Its body was impervious to swords and spears. In his moment of despair, Zhang Chufan had a flash of inspiration and used his ability on the monster: “Hardness +1.” Then he activated the playing card: “Turn square.”

The next second, the dragon’s invincible scales cracked like glass. Under the gaze of tens of thousands, the monster was instantly compressed by the power of the rules into a standard… brick.

From that moment on, the world’s strongest fighters remembered the terror of being ruled by a “useless loser.”
