In the late Qing Dynasty, the mountains and rivers were in turmoil. A young man from the countryside of Hunan only wanted to practice martial arts and live freely in the world, but he was caught up in the current of the times and stepped into the center of the magnificent revolution.
His name is Du Xinwu, a rare genius from the Natural Sect who has never been seen in a century, and the future "Northern and Southern Heroes".
When he faces the dragon claws of the Qing court's eagle dogs, the murderous swords of Eastern samurai, and the muskets of European and American powers, can his legs that can kick off stone monuments open a way out for the 40 million compatriots?
His close friend Song Jiaoren fell in a pool of blood and asked him in tears: "Xinwu, if martial arts can lead to the gods, can the country's fortune be prosperous?"
Su Qingying, her confidante, leaned against the window and sighed softly: "What you practice is the way of nature, and what you want is to break free from all constraints. But this world is your biggest constraint."
Du Xinwu clenched his fists, his muscles and bones groaning. He once thought that the end of martial arts was to "see the gods and not be bad", where one person can watch and live freely in the world. It wasn't until he saw this fallen China that he suddenly woke up.
"No, the end of martial arts is to control the mountains and rivers with fists, to fight for the fate of the country, and to... See that the country is not destroyed!"
This is the story of a warrior who used his mortal body to fight against destiny and try to "change destiny" for this land.
