For the first half of his life, he worked nine to five. Then he struck it rich overnight and thought he had secured a peaceful life.
But a sudden upheaval shattered that illusion of prosperity, leaving him in a poor, freezing village on the frontier of the Great Yan Dynasty.
His father was dead, their food was gone, snowstorms blanketed the mountains, and black bears ran rampant. In this desperate predicament, memories from two lifetimes merged, and he stumbled upon a lost inheritance of the Martial Dao.
The path of martial arts begins with vital energy and blood. Meat nourishes the body, while hidden force conceals its edge.
He roamed the vast forests, bent his bow to hunt beasts, and trained his techniques relentlessly, keeping all his strength hidden beneath the surface.
Dark currents stirred beneath the dynasty, and the fires of a chaotic age were about to ignite. The common people at the bottom of society were as helpless as duckweed on the water.
The modern man who once craved a life of comfort shed his former trappings and pressed on with martial arts. Starting in the wilderness and wielding secret techniques as his blade, he advanced step by step through a world where slaughter and martial arts went hand in hand, seeking a chance to survive and the path to eternal life through the Martial Dao.
