A world of elite martial arts, where students are sorted by their exam results and blood qi determines one's status.
Lu Chen is a good-for-nothing repeat student, notorious throughout his school. His blood qi always registers as zero during physical examinations.
While others cultivate, breathing in and out as their blood qi surges, the only way he can get stronger is by taking a beating.
Fractured bones: triple blood qi!
Near death: tenfold berserk power!
Fists pounding his body are nourishment. Blades piercing his chest are gifts. Astral energy shattering his bones pushes his combat potential straight to the limit!
But once his injuries heal and the furnace goes out, he returns to his former state, so weak he can barely lift a hand.
At the exam, powerful clans and noble families try to seize his special admission slot. A consecrated expert who has condensed astral energy moves in to kill him.
He neither dodges nor retreats. He takes a thunderous palm strike head-on, his dwindling blood qi boiling as one punch shatters the arrogance of a powerhouse.
Underground death matches, provincial trials, abyssal beast tides, conspiracies in the capital.
He breaks the blood-sealing shackles of his reversed meridians and turns broken bones into weapons. With his body covered in wounds, he stands against the overwhelming power of financial and aristocratic clans.
Chen Tieshou burns through his remaining life for him. Ji Changkong gives his life for the world. Jiang Wanning stands beside him in the darkness, defying fate.
The rhythm is brisk, with a brief introduction at the beginning, and you immediately get to the point.
