The night a rift in the abyss tore open the sky, Chen Feng lost his father.
Three years later, monstrous beasts encircle the city, and martial prowess reigns supreme.
While others awaken S- or A-rank martial souls, his result is F-rank: no talent, the worst of the worst.
At the martial arts academy, he is dead last, mocked with, “Eight Extremes Fist? Just fancy moves.”
He supports himself delivering food and lives in a rundown house in the old district. His neighbor is Grandma Liu, who sells soy milk; his rival is Su Wan, his childhood friend and secret crush, who has an S-rank martial soul. He cannot even catch up to her from behind.
When a lord-level beast breaks through the city wall, Chen Feng is pinned beneath the rubble, his vision blurred with blood
“Ding! National Martial Arts Grandmaster System activated.”
“Sign in at the ancestral home of Cangzhou Eight Extremes Fist. Reward: Complete Eight Extremes Fist: Six Great Openings.”
“Sign in at the Dharma Cave of Shaolin. Reward: Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic: Marrow-Cleansing Chapter.”
“Sign in at the Golden Summit of Wudang. Reward: Tai Chi: Yin-Yang Art.”
From then on, he uses the “Heart-Thrusting Elbow” of Eight Extremes Fist to punch through elite beasts’ armor, smashes the martial souls of genius fighters with “Iron Mountain Lean,” and silences the entire martial arts world with “Fierce Tiger Climbs the Mountain.”
But when he stands on the national martial arts championship podium, the System displays a blood-red prompt:
“Ultimate Mission: Go to the heart of the abyssal rift and defeat the Beast Emperor: your father, the previous holder of the National Martial Arts Grandmaster System, a victim consumed by the will of the beasts.”
Chen Feng clenches his fists.
“Eight Extremes Fist, Mountain-Leaning Strike. Dad, your son is taking you home.”
