High Martial: Starting at Dead Last

Thirty years after the spiritual qi revival, martial arts reign supreme.

Chen Mo, a good-for-nothing with five spiritual roots, has ranked dead last in martial arts for years, yet comes first in his grade in academics every year. His fiancée publicly breaks off their engagement, Zhao Tianyu sends him flying with one punch, and everyone laughs at him for a toad who thinks he can eat swan meat.

At the end of his rope, the black stone pendant passed down through his family shatters, and a fragment of an ancient Martial God core merges with his body. His Spirit Gathering Mark awakens!

His efficiency at absorbing spiritual qi is three times that of someone with a single spiritual root! He can see through the flaws in any martial technique, making it easy to fight opponents above his level!

From then on, the good-for-nothing who always ranked last begins his heaven-defying comeback!

Basic boxing? He masters it in one night, correcting all seventeen flaws in the manual!

Class test? Full marks in both spiritual power and physical strength, with a total score of ninety-nine that leaves everyone else in the dust!

Grade-level combat tournament? He sweeps the competition to claim the championship, and becomes the city's top scorer with ease!

Provincial joint entrance exam? He breaks the all-time scoring record, and the principal of Jinghua Martial University personally recruits him!

Jinghua Martial University? He becomes MVP of the national league and inherits the Martial God's legacy in the Ancient Battle Hall!

Border battlefield? He slays a king-ranked foreign race warrior and breaks through to Martial King in the heat of battle!

Final showdown? He reaches the legendary Martial God realm, kills Cang Xuan, the foreign race's Supreme, reinforces the ancient seal, and protects humanity's peace for generations to come!

From the bottom of the rankings to humanity's Martial God, from a jilted good-for-nothing to the guardian of all humankind, Chen Mo's comeback has only just begun!
