   Not a single one of them is trash! They're all classics (each author put in a tremendous amount of effort into martial arts, describing them in meticulous detail, and some even incorporate elements of realism). There aren't many complex systems or exaggerated leveling-ups. Much of it relies on self-training.

    Daxia. Inside a large, comprehensive martial arts school in Pingjing City. "Sigh, swords, spears, clubs, fists, palms, legs, and feet—I've practiced every move available here." "Is this already the highest level of traditional martial arts?" Su Yi lay on a bench in the rest area, sighing slightly. Half a month ago, he, a transmigrator, arrived in this parallel world that revered martial arts. He became a sixteen-year-old martial arts apprentice here and was directly bound to the Peerless National Martial Arts System. No matter what move it was, as long as he practiced it a few times, he would immediately master it and reach the pinnacle. National martial arts are divided into several levels: initial understanding, mastery, minor achievement, divine skill, consummate skill, and pinnacle. Within a few days, he had mastered dozens of moves and reached the highest level, the pinnacle, in all of them. These were things that others might not be able to master even after decades of hard work. However, Su Yi understood that his current strength was still too weak in the face of true masters. He had personally witnessed a frail woman use Tai Chi Cloud Hands to stop a speeding truck, then vanish in the blink of an eye. That unparalleled, terrifying power and speed left a deep impression on Su Yi. He even had the thought that this was true martial arts, while what he possessed was merely the basics. Therefore, he felt that reaching the pinnacle wasn't the ultimate goal of martial arts, but rather just a beginning. "How can I reach that level?" Looking at the ceiling of the martial arts hall, a strange light flickered in Su Yi's eyes.

    Reader note

    This modern martial arts novel is quite worth reading carefully. It touches on things like Teacher Ma and Xu Mou Dong's stories. The early chapters are like those of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," with some foreshadowing. It's not just about someone suddenly becoming invincible. If you're looking for a mindless, fast-paced story, be careful. (Note: The fight scenes are described in great detail, and the writing, logic, and plot are all quite good.)
