Su Zhen transmigrates to the Ming dynasty and becomes the son of a butcher, standing nine chi tall with bulging muscles.
His family wants him to slaughter pigs, but he insists on taking the civil service exams!
A local academy bully tears up his letter of introduction and mocks him for not knowing a single character.
Su Zhen silently awakens the [Win Them Over with Physical Force System].
He walks to the academy gates, lifts a thousand-jin stone lion with one hand, and asks amiably, “My friend, how would you explain the line ‘The Master does not speak of prodigies, feats of strength, disorder, or spirits’?”
The bully wets himself on the spot. “Father Su! It means the Master didn’t want to talk, so he used brute force to beat you senseless!”
[Ding! The other party is thoroughly convinced. Congratulations, you have gained mastery of the eight-legged essay and proficiency in Yan-style calligraphy!]
From then on, the Ming dynasty’s world takes a sharp turn.
At the provincial exams, while everyone else shivers in the cold, he sits bare-chested, eating hotpot.
At court, when corrupt officials refuse to confess, he shuts the doors and discusses physics with them for half an hour. They come out in tears, writing confessions ten thousand characters long.
At the palace examination, a Tatar warrior taunts the Ming, claiming it has no men of valor.
Su Zhen tears off his scholar’s robe and rips a foreign general apart with his bare hands in front of the emperor!
The Zhengde Emperor is overjoyed. “This is my star of literature! Quickly, come campaign with me!”
With The Analects of Fists in his left hand and a meteor hammer in his right, Su Zhen turns the Ming into an empire on which the sun never sets…
The entire court is in despair: Our greatest Confucian scholar is actually a rampaging brute?!
