Assassin’s Bounty: Part One

This is a chaotic martial world where assassins hold sway, and the innate spiritual energy within determines one’s talent and fate. Everyone is born with innate spiritual energy, ranging from twenty-five to one hundred points. One’s level of talent directly determines the upper limit of one’s cultivation. Countless people spend their lives trapped at the bottom. Only by taking on the bounty warrants that fill the skies and fighting for their lives can they hope to break free of their shackles and climb to the peak of martial arts. To protect his younger sister, Dongfang Shengxue, with whom he has always relied on one another, Dongfang Shengyuan leaves his homeland and enters the perilous world of assassins. He starts at the very bottom as a first-tier assassin, a realm that requires him to gather two hundred points of spiritual energy and has a spiritual power limit of five thousand points. Countless newcomers fail here, but through sheer determination, countless life-or-death missions, and ceaseless cultivation, he presses on toward becoming a ninth-tier assassin. Once he has mastered the ninth tier, he can form a core in his dantian, forge a spiritual pill, and enter the mortal realms of the Sovereign-Invoking, Star Radiance, Cloud Eternity, and Heavenly Blessing stages. From there, he can strive for the ranks of Gold, Black Gold, and Top Assassin. Once his innate spiritual energy is depleted, he must rely on an immense reserve of divine sense points to advance through the stages of Quasi-God, Deified, Spirit God, and Lord God, all the way to the supreme realms of Quasi-God King and God King. Powerful enemies surround them on every side, bounty warrants conceal countless dangers, and undercurrents surge among the great powers. The siblings support each other and live by the blade, escaping certain death time and again. Along the way, Dongfang Shengyuan encounters Dongfang Shuangxue, and their fates become tightly intertwined. Unwilling to let talent define his fate, the young man takes up his blade and fights against destiny through blood and carnage. Every bounty warrant is both a contract for slaughter and a stairway to godhood. Watch as he breaks the shackles of heaven and earth and writes his own legend as a God King.
