By day, he’s an ordinary office worker. After work, he’s the last heir to a reclusive sect. While everyone else grinds through nine-to-five days and KPI targets, he secretly practices tai chi to temper his body and flies on his sword. While others fret over traffic, he rides the wind and crosses half the city in ten minutes. He only wants to live a quiet life, but one evening on his way home, he runs into a knife-wielding robber. In desperation, he uses the “Grasp the Sparrow’s Tail” technique and cracks a reinforced concrete wall. A passing self-media blogger captures the moment, and the hashtag #MysteriousUrbanMaster unexpectedly goes viral.
His peaceful life is shattered. At the barbecue stall downstairs from his apartment, a Beggar Sect disciple can breathe fire. The milk tea shop next to his office is run by a woman who turns out to be a Tang Sect poison expert. Even the trainer at his regular gym is a Shaolin lay disciple who practices Iron Shirt. More outrageous still, a group of sharply dressed executives at a tech company are secretly using genetic engineering to recreate martial arts techniques, hoping to rule the hidden martial world.
Caught between technology and tradition, the reclusive heir is forced to act: he uses tai chi to deflect an electromagnetic cannon, swordsmanship to intercept drones, and pressure-point techniques to subdue genetically modified people. He discovers that the modern city has long been a hidden battleground for the martial world, and that the jade pendant he wears holds a secret connecting different dimensions. When reclusive martial arts meet modern technology and an ordinary office worker becomes an urban hero, an imaginative martial-world conflict unfolds in the concrete jungle. He must hide his identity while navigating cutthroat office politics, secretly protect the city’s peace, and uncover the truth behind his sect’s destruction. This adventure, spanning past and present and blending technology with martial arts, is only just beginning...
