High-martial-arts cultivation without spiritual energy; no System, no old master in a magical artifact, and no rebirth. There's life and conflict, and when it's time to fight or kill, the protagonist does just that. Beautiful women are his cultivation resource, not a harem obligation. This is a modern high-martial-arts world with almost no spiritual energy, so cultivation should be impossible. But lucky Li Jun unexpectedly obtained an incredi 59Reads8.1Score270Shelves

   Recommended by a bookworm with 20,000 hours of reading experience, this is a safe and harmless read. It features urban martial arts with "no spiritual energy" cultivation, a slice-of-life story with multiple female leads, no frustrating moments or unnecessary dialogue, and action where fighting and killing are both necessary. The male lead is responsible but not a harem character.

    Urban setting + cultivation + aloof female CEO + multiple female leads. I haven't been following it long, it's pretty good. [Laughs]
