Transmigrated into the body of a boy with a useless martial soul, cast out by his clan and hunted across the continent: this was Lin Feng's fate. That is, until he met Su Wan'er, the "Wisest Woman Under Heaven," sealed away for a thousand years. She told him, "There is no such thing as a dead end in this world, only a game of strategy you haven't seen through."
With a remnant soul and a broken body, Lin Feng fights his way from Tianfeng City to the ends of the earth, from the Ancient Snow Mountains to the forbidden realm of spacetime. Along the way come the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, whose plans never fail; the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, with its labyrinth of illusions; the Sword God Mountain, harboring a blood feud; the Medicine Clan, shrouded in the mystery of its annihilation; and the Phoenix Divine Clan, bound by a thousand-year curse. Six women, each burdened by fate, enter the game one after another, never knowing who is truly moving the pieces.
Every deadly strike is a trap, every betrayal a test, and behind every truth lies an even greater lie. When the mastermind finally reveals their face, Lin Feng discovers that his true enemy is himself in the future.
This is more than a tale of revenge: it is a battle to the death spanning timelines. Can the seven of them join forces to overturn their predetermined fate? The battle of wits for the world is underway, and who will claim victory remains to be seen.
After closing the book and lingering for a long time, only one thought remained in my mind—this was true "battle of wits." The protagonist, Lin Feng, isn't a brute force-driven overlord, but a strategist who meticulously plans and uses his intellect to overcome every obstacle.
His name was Lin Feng, a member of a collateral branch of the Lin clan in Qingyang Town, and he was sixteen years old this year. Three days ago, during the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, his Martial Soul was judged to be "Withered Wood," the lowest of the lowest. The entire clan was in uproar, and the young masters of the main branch mocked him in public. Someone kicked him in the chest, and he hit the back of his head on the stone steps, instantly losing consciousness.
