People say the sword is a gentleman’s weapon, while the blade is a crude tool for brutes. The way of the blade has long since fallen into decline.
Chen Zhan, the last heir of a blade-cultivating clan, endures mockery and oppression from sword cultivators at his martial arts academy, barely scraping by.
One day, his battered ancestral blade manual suddenly comes to life, becoming a sharp-tongued, haughty blade spirit in the form of a young woman.
“Your blade technique is so clumsy even an old woman chopping wood would scoff at it. Fix three flaws, and you’ll crush every sword cultivator here.”
The blade spirit analyzes the flaws in countless techniques, guides him as he creates his own blade arts, and helps him gather the nine ancient blade manuals scattered across the world.
From then on, Chen Zhan shatters ten thousand swords with a single strike, tramples a century of swordsmanship’s dominance, and crushes every prejudice and slight.
With his strength alone, he brings the way of the blade, silent for a hundred years, back to rule the entire high-martial world!
