[Three years in the black market, he was a lonely figure in the dark night who had tempered his body and became a king; after the coming-of-age ceremony, he was a low-class young man who carried a heavy burden forward]
In the future Federation, high-level martial arts competitions dominate the world, and class barriers are like natural chasms. When he was fifteen years old, his parents died mysteriously in an explosion at the research institute, leaving behind huge debts and a sister suffering from a rare genetic disease. Lin Mo changed his name to "Shadow" and plunged into the underground black market arena. He struggled on the edge of life and death for three years. With the innate talent of the "purifying body", he climbed to the top of the Hive Arena on his corpse.
In order to protect his loved ones and find out the truth, Lin Mo gave up his black market name and entered the public high martial arts academy. His crushing strength at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, the incomplete skills left behind by his parents, and fighting side by side with his younger brother Zhao Hu, made him stand out in college competitions and city-level qualifiers, but he was also exposed time and time again. From the mud of the ghetto to the spotlight of the global league, he combined the ruthlessness of the black market with the rules of the academy. While dealing with hive informants and noble students, he dismantled the fragments of the truth about his parents' death.
The fatal flaw of the psychic project, the conspiracy of the Federation elders, the secret invitation of the Interstellar Alliance... When shadow and light collide, when personal grudges and class injustice intertwine, Lin Mo is no longer a "shadow" who only fights for survival. He uses force as a blade to cut through the fog of power monopoly; he uses his heart as a lamp to protect the peace of the people he loves. This road to redemption that started in the black market will eventually make him a new legend who breaks the pattern of the Gaowu era——
"I came from the darkness, not to perish, but to illuminate all the trampled glimmers of light."
