Grinding Experience in a Lonely City

In the Hanwu Dynasty, half the realm had fallen into the hands of the Tianzhao Empire.

The Han people had been reduced to despised slaves in a conquered land, bullied and slaughtered by foreign invaders.

Yet one city in the occupied northern frontier still held out.

It was the Hanwu Dynasty’s last territory in the north.

Li Chu transmigrated into this isolated city, becoming an apprentice military blacksmith and unlocking the Skill Approaching the Dao System.

A finger snap, a swing of the hammer, a gaze, a leap, a run, a throw…

Repeating any action again and again could improve his abilities.

Blacksmithing, archery, martial arts, military formations: every skill could advance and level up.

Years later, a snap of his fingers could make the world vanish in smoke; a wave of his hand could bring down heaven and earth.

He could scale walls and leap rooftops, summon wind and rain, turn a sword swing into a river, and scatter beans that became soldiers.

His body could attain sainthood, his martial arts could break all laws, and his military formations could shake heaven and earth.

Who says mortals are no more than ants? With three hundred million mortals at my back, I can open Heaven’s Gate.
