Karmic Ledger: From Borrowing Ahead to Forge Iron to Financing My Rise as a Martial Saint

The great clans monopolize the spirit veins and rule over all living beings. Evil cults draw demons into their bodies to break through their limits. Power and authority intertwine and devour one another. Chaos is about to engulf Liangcheng, leaving it on the brink of collapse.

Li Wei transmigrates into the military’s Foundry Bureau and becomes an apprentice blacksmith. At a loss and with no one to rely on, he feels adrift like a duckweed.

“Fail today’s test, and you’ll be driven out of the city.”

Alchemy! Diagram Suppression!

The Foundry Bureau, the Elixir Pavilion, the Diagram Suppression Office: Li Wei earns a reputation as a genius and eventually becomes one of the military’s ten great masters of every craft.

Savage Bear Art! Fierce Tiger Fist! Eight Steps of Thunder! Ferocious Beast Prison-Suppression Art! Once he learns the basics of any martial art, he can borrow his way all the way to the peak.

What? He can also recycle the items he crafts to raise the Interface’s level?

“Come on! I’ve got nothing on tonight! Let’s put in another shift!”

“I, Li Wei, work hard every day and owe Karma countless debts. Yet I have seen the end of martial arts: debt is the ultimate truth!”, Li Wei, Martial Arts Saint
