Dragon Sinews, Tiger Bones: Breaking Limits to Become a Sage

The Sacred Sect controls the authority of martial arts, while the imperial dynasty governs the mortal world.

Together, they rule the realm, and a single word from them can determine the life or death of countless people.

Nobles and commoners are worlds apart, their class divide an unbridgeable chasm. A thousand years of ironclad rules cannot be challenged.

Behind red gates and in lofty mansions, nobles indulge in the songs and dances of beauties from twelve prefectures, deciding the fate of entire clans with a laugh;

On cold roads and long streets, the common folk kneel from dawn to dusk, kowtowing until they bleed and weep, just to beg the tax officials to reduce their crushing levies by a fraction.

The people are treated like straw dogs, and human lives like weeds.

In this world, standing up straight is a sin for those at the bottom.

“Are the poor destined to rot in the mud and bow their heads as slaves forever?”

“That's simply how the world has always been.”

“Just because it's always been this way, does that make it right?!”

…

Across ten seas and five domains stretch boundless lands, dotted with sects and ruled by countless dynasties.

In this flourishing age of martial arts, prodigies surge forth: born martial seeds, Nine Suns Tyrant Bodies, Lunar Saintesses, Ancient Sword Fetal Bodies, descendants of the Martial Ancestor, direct disciples of the Sacred Sect… Countless geniuses vie for a single chance to transcend!

Xu Qing has lived two lifetimes and bears the heaven-defying destiny of a [Born Martial Seed].

Every time he breaks through a realm, he awakens an incredible new trait!
