    ☀️The second book is set against the backdrop of the turbulent Republican era, a time of extraordinary figures emerging. In this chaotic world, the martial arts world is vast and untamed, proclaiming, "Heroes rise from the ranks, and the extraordinary figures of the Republican era are like the Big Dipper." There's a Taoist priest who single-handedly quells injustice with his sword and brush; a portly monk who harbors dissent; a boatman who ferries wanderers from the shadows; a powerful figure who plots great deeds; a Gu master who stands unchallenged in Miao territory; a young man who leaps through a flower garden, speaking arrogantly; and then there's a carpenter. These seven are the extraordinary figures of the Republican era.
