Fist and Power: Iron Fists Subdue the Realm

The son of a mine slave, whose father was beaten to death in the mine, he was treated like livestock and forced to fight for his meals in an underground ring.

The Xuan Yin Dynasty was founded on martial might. Whoever had the hardest fists made the law.

Shen Zhong thought he would spend his whole life as nothing more than a heap of mine refuse that could still breathe, until his father pressed a blackened "miner’s token" into his hands on his deathbed.

The Black Iron Fist Mark awakened!

Defeat your opponents, devour the true meaning of martial arts, and unlock the ancient "Nine Forms of the Fist of Power"!

A Martial Apprentice? One punch smashes through your breastplate!

A Martial Warrior? One punch shatters your protective qi, even if you outrank me!

A Martial Master? With bones of bronze and fists of iron, I’ll still knock you flat!

From Blackstone Town to Tieling City, from street-side fight clubs to the Governor-General of the Northern Frontier.

Someone asked him, "You’re a mine slave. What gives you the right to make the rules?"

Shen Zhong planted his fist on the table, rattling the teacups.

"Because these fists of mine are hard enough. The fist is power. When I throw a punch, right is on my side."

Arrogant aristocratic clans? One punch sends them flying out the door.

Unorthodox grandmasters? One punch blows half their bodies to pieces.

Court intrigues? I’ll smash even the bronze cauldron before the throne with one punch!

But when he stood at the pinnacle of power, the madman Li Jiuyuan, who practiced forbidden arts and wrecked his own body, roared at him:

"Are your fists meant to protect your power, or is your power only there so you can keep throwing punches?"

Shen Zhong took off his official robes, changed into a short tunic, and walked toward the ranks of a million soldiers.

"The fist is the root of power, and power is the leaf of the fist. However deep the roots grow, they grow to give people shade."

"This punch carries twenty years of work. Can you stop it?"
