On National Awakening Day, everyone draws a Heroic Spirit card. Lin Yan is the only one who draws a “blank page.” The whole internet mocks China for having a broken civilization, foreign enemies humiliate the country in public, and voices of doubt ring out at home. But nobody knows that what he holds is no scrap of paper. It is the torn-apart register of China's Heroic Spirits.
Chen Tang, Zu Ti, Wang Xuance, Ban Chao: one page, one Heroic Spirit; one page, one chapter of lost history. While others compete with ready-made Heroic Spirits, he restores the stolen names and reveals the hidden trump cards of Chinese civilization.
From the city tournament to the Scarlet Sea floating platform, from the Hollow Sect's encirclement to a global livestream hunt, Lin Yan holds his ground in the arena while summoning China's Heroic Spirits back, one page at a time.
When every nation thinks China has nothing left but passion, Lin Yan uses page after page of “scrap paper” to tell the world: China was never without Heroic Spirits. They were simply too late to return.
