Sword Rises Amid the Dust and Turmoil: Claiming the Realm
Lin Ye, a modern-day overworked office drone, dies suddenly after staying up all night and transmigrates to the mighty Great Yan Dynasty, where martial arts flourish. He wakes up in the body of a good-for-nothing disciple at a martial arts school in Qingxi Town, a mediocre talent who everyone bullies. On the brink of death, he awakens an unbelievably powerful cheat: a mysterious interface that can analyze the weaknesses of all things and deduce martial arts techniques to their ultimate limits. From then on, he begins his rise to power.
Faced with mockery from his fellow disciples and oppression from the powerful, he doesn’t bother to argue. He simply crushes everyone with overwhelming strength. He defeats Zhao Hu with one move and takes down the school’s master with a single punch. He even turns down recruitment offers from the two great sects, Liuyun Sect and Luoshui Pavilion. He has no interest in being bound by any sect, only in reaching the pinnacle of martial arts.
In the mountains of Qingxi, he meets Su Qingyue, a healer. As chaos engulfs the land, the two support each other, and love quietly blossoms between them. He cuts down tyrants and searches for spirit herbs for her; she mends his clothes, cooks for him, and waits faithfully by his side for a lifetime.
From a remote border town to the prosperous capital of Yan, Lin Ye punches barbarian generals and kicks court nobles aside. He is swept into the succession struggle between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, yet never loses focus. Relying solely on his cheat to deduce peerless techniques, he advances step by step through the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core realms.
The martial world is in turmoil, and the sects are rife with undercurrents. As a commoner, he defies the mightiest heroes and points his sword at the world.
“I have no interest in fighting, yet I will claim these ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers. I seek no empire, yet I will rule the very heavens of martial arts!”
