[Alternate Near-Modern Continent] [Ensemble Cast]
In an age of chaos, surrounded by four foreign races.
At the age of twenty, only chosen children can awaken their unique talents.
As a child, Gu Xuanji endured endless humiliation in Dark Abyss City.
He attributes his unhappy childhood to his parents' mysterious disappearance and becomes increasingly fixated on uncovering the truth.
When he first enters Hidden Dragon Martial Academy, he chooses the safest martial arts manual so he can investigate the truth, deciding that he will never take risks when he can play it safe.
But as the academy's rules close in on him and he faces one difficult choice after another, a desperate gamble to break the deadlock nearly costs him his life, forcing him to take another look at himself.
By a twist of fate, Gu Xuanji gets the chance to forge a body by severing a soul.
From then on, his avatar ventures into the world and faces its turmoil, while his original body orchestrates everything from behind the scenes. One person, two avatars, two lives.
(The story unfolds over the long term. It's not a fast-paced face-slapping story, but if you read a few more chapters, you won't be disappointed.)
The more I read, the more interested I became. Fortunately, I kept reading, but half a star will be deducted for the slow updates. Half a star will be deducted for being suspicious of your constant updates. Can you please revise the previous one? If I recommend a book to you, no one will read it. I worry about you not updating it every day. Damn it.
As for the current chapter, although there is no ups and downs of conflict, the character descriptions and storylines are very visual and narrated. I like this kind of group portrait.
