After transmigrating to the final years of the Dayong dynasty, Lin Chen opened his eyes to find himself a beggar on the street, so cold he was nearly at death's door.
The emperor was corrupt and extravagant, the officials and nobles squeezed the refugees dry, martial artists in the jianghu knew nothing but flashy moves, barbarian warlords rose in a world of chaos, and human life was cheap as grass.
But no one could have guessed that this beggar in rags had once been a national-level head coach in mixed martial arts. He mastered lethal strikes against the human body, field combat tactics, and close-quarters fighting. His modern, practical martial arts crushed every rigid ancient style!
A bully picks on him? He locks him down, grabs his throat, and breaks his bones on the spot!
The senior disciple of a martial arts school provokes him? In three moves, he exposes the flaws in his technique and takes down the entire prestigious school!
A military brat mocks him for being born a beggar? He sweeps the entire camp at the new recruits' arena and makes the scion of a military family kneel in defeat!
A deputy general schemes against him in secret, a treacherous minister forges evidence of treason, a warlord tries to recruit him with a fortune, and a million barbarian cavalrymen press at the border... One deadly plot after another comes his way, and Lin Chen tears them all apart with his bare hands!
From refugee beggar to scout squad leader, from border garrison deputy general to a great general entrusted with half the empire's military power, he protects Su Qingyue, the orphan of a loyal family, gathers the countless downtrodden, and carves out a path to the heavens through sheer martial prowess.
