Longevity Martial Arts: From Basic Stance Training to Invincibility

Shen Yan transmigrates to a chaotic era where martial arts flourish, the social order is rigid, and human lives are worth no more than grass.

As a lowly ferryman, he can barely get enough to eat. On top of that, he faces extortion by gangsters and the desperate prospect of selling himself to pay off his debts.

Luckily, his golden finger awakens: the Stele of Years!

[Thirteen Monument-Splitting Kicks: Proficient (1/500)]

Every effective training session leaves a mark. He can ignore the limits of his aptitude, faces no bottlenecks, and every bit of effort brings a matching reward!

A terrible constitution? Dull talent?

Shen Yan has this to say: If training won’t kill me, I’ll train myself to death!

Against gang bosses who bully women and prey on the weak, Shen Yan lays an ambush on a rainy night, sinks their bodies in the river, and makes it look like an accidental drowning.

Against an underground syndicate that preys on the innocent, Shen Yan launches a masked night raid, kills several experts, then burns everything to destroy the evidence.

When it comes to the powerful, wealthy clans, Shen Yan politely declines their offers, stays in a low-level government office to quietly build his strength, and never lets himself become cannon fodder.

He follows just three rules: never make enemies first, leave no loose ends, and take three steps back whenever the situation is unclear!

Years later, when a great martial calamity descends and the gods and buddhas look down from on high, treating all living beings as ants, Shen Yan wields a heavy Black Tide staff, shatters the void, and brings down the Ninth Heaven with a single blow!

“I got where I am today entirely through my own hard work!”
