The Fortune-Stealing Scholar

The Jiuzhou Continent is vast and boundless. In the Great Qi Kingdom, in Chiyang Guard of Chuan Prefecture, the Du Residence stands as a pillar in the west. For generations, the Du family has guarded the western frontier and resisted barbarian invasions. The Du family has produced famous generals for generations, but Du Changeng's generation saw the arrival of a worthless son. The third son, Du Xuan, was frail from childhood and had a love of literature. It was enough to drive Du Changeng to despair. The barbarians lived in a bitterly cold land and coveted Great Qi at every turn. Then the great wise man Botai emerged among them, greatly increasing their military strength. They even began plotting to conquer Great Qi. The Du army fought battle after battle and suffered countless losses. The third son of the Du family had no choice but to put down his writing brush and join the army. In a moment of crisis, Du Xuan used the Buddhist method of visualization to envision Confucius in his literary heart. Using Daoist qi cultivation, he opened his Dao orifice with righteous qi. Using the martial art of body tempering, he tempered his body with righteous qi. Thus, he opened the way to battle through the Confucian and Daoist traditions. My fate is mine to seize! My nation's fate is mine to defend! That is what it means to be a true patriot!
