Everyone Can Become a Martial Saint: Starting as a Walled-City Tailor

After transmigrating into the chaotic 1930s, Zhang Ziming becomes an apprentice tailor in Kowloon Walled City.

In this era, gangs run rampant, martial arts schools dominate with brute force, and foreigners loom over the city. The lives of ordinary people at the bottom are worth less than weeds.

His master has his right leg broken by a bully. At the end of his rope, Zhang Ziming awakens a fragment of the Manual of the Hundred Trades. With a discerning eye for craftsmanship, he sees through the truth: the limp is a disguise, and the old tailor is actually a hidden master of Hung Gar! Scissors and measuring tapes can be weapons, and mending and cutting can also cultivate martial arts. He learns the Cloud-Cutting Art, turning his tailoring skills into deadly techniques.

Martial arts have never belonged to martial arts schools alone! Chefs hide killing moves in their cooking, barbers wield thin blades that decide life and death, and carpenters use ink lines to ensnare powerful foes. Among the three hundred and sixty trades, hidden sages lie in wait in every one.

Zhang Ziming leaves the tailor shop and seeks out artisans from every walk of life to study under them, combining the martial arts of their crafts. He forms the Hundred Crafts Alliance to protect the walled city and opens a night school for artisans, breaking the monopoly on martial arts. He fights the gangs, resists the police, exposes a century-old conspiracy by powerful clans to rewrite martial arts history, and leads master artisans from every trade to confront the invasion of foreign martial arts...
