Republic-Era Martial Saint: Starting by Helping an Old Lady Who Fell

After his soul crosses into a parallel Republic of China era overrun by demons, Chen Fan finds himself from the start caught in the middle of a gang shootout and nearly gets killed by a single slash.

At the desperate moment when he's fighting for his life, he helps an old woman who has fallen, unexpectedly activating the Merit-Based Martial Arts System!

He'd only wanted to be a minor constable who coasted through life, quietly building up his strength in the French Concession.

But foreigners are throwing their weight around, demons lurk in the shadows, and local thugs run rampant in his district. Chen Fan can only sigh helplessly. "I'm a respectable civil servant. Don't make me get rough."

Then one day, while saving someone, he punches a martial arts expert straight through a wall. Watching his merit points shoot up, he finally understands.

"There's nothing in this world that doing good deeds and accumulating merit can't solve. And if there is... it just means I haven't hit hard enough yet."
