Reborn, Lin Chen holds a lost ancient method of qi cultivation. In an age of quick-fix techniques, he’ll make a name for himself with real kung fu.
With spiritual qi revival and the advent of high martial arts, Jiang City erupted overnight.
Quick-fix techniques are everywhere, body-tempering martial artists are as common as dogs, and everyone is chasing spiritual qi and fighting to awaken. Who still remembers the true martial arts passed down by their ancestors?
Lin Chen runs a rundown martial arts school at the end of an alley. For nineteen years, he has practiced the horse stance, the Mountain-Shattering Fist, and the basic breathing technique.
Others laugh at him for being old-fashioned and curse him for clinging to garbage until he dies. He simply keeps refining his inner qi, hiding cultivation as deep and mighty as a river.
Then a gang of thugs comes to provoke him, with a first-level body-tempering martial artist threatening to smash up the school.
Lin Chen raises a hand, bends a steel pipe, and knocks everyone back with a single punch.
The onlookers are shaken: This isn’t just a traditional martial artist. He’s a hidden cultivation master!
From then on, Jiang City is swept up in turmoil.
The Martial Affairs Bureau seeks his help, reclusive sects come calling, waves of exotic beasts sweep across the outskirts, and undercurrents stir among all the major factions.
Lin Chen looks up.
“Don’t rush me. The qi I’ve built up over thirty years is only just beginning to show its edge.”
Traditional internal martial arts take on the high-martial era!
One punch shatters mountains, martial arts bring the world to heel!
