One Punch Shatters the Void: Scholars Never Play by the Rules

In the Great Qian Dynasty, martial arts reign supreme.

Su Yan, a poor-born youth, is found to have an innate mortal meridian. The scion of a great clan steps on his face and laughs. "Trash, you're not even fit to carry my shoes."

Su Yan says nothing. One punch shatters the man's protective astral energy.

Later, the Wang family's sacred artifact, the Void Seal, comes crashing down like a mountain, blotting out the sky.

Su Yan still answers with one punch.

A hundred-zhang Void Palm splits in two. A guardian at the Skyflight Realm is blasted into a mist of blood with one punch.

At last, the world learns that this "trash" has fists harder than sacred artifacts.

Later still, he writes a line of poetry: "The spring river's tide meets the sea's unbroken expanse; above the sea, the bright moon rises with the tide."

The Heavenly Dao bestows its blessing, and the literary vein awakens.

Everyone thinks he's about to become an elegant scholar.

Then he takes out his writing brush and writes the character "Smash," slamming a prince-sealing ancestor into the ground.

The Treatise on Swinging Fists says: A gentleman who does not strike with force commands no respect. If you don't hit hard enough, you can't establish your authority.

His aloof master covers her face. "Rebellious disciple, stop using the Treatise on Swinging Fists to beat people..."

Su Yan nods, then writes two more characters: "Harder."

That night, he not only beat up an ancestor, but also kept the lofty female teacher in his arms, cursing him as a "rebellious disciple" all night long.
