A Martial Hero at Court: Starting Out as One of the Bad Guys

Body tempering, blood refinement, bone forging, astral energy, the convergence of the five qi...

What is the martial way? Subduing others through strength is what makes it martial.

The Wu Dynasty has just been founded and pacified the four seas. With everything waiting to be rebuilt, remnants of the former dynasty still linger, Japanese pirates have suddenly grown bolder along the coast, bandits break the law and prey on the weak, demonic cultists seize the chance to sow chaos, and demon martial arts rise again, spreading fear among the people. Countless petty villains seek to bring down this fledgling dynasty.

The common people have suffered through war for far too long.

Xu Feng transmigrates into the body of a martial artist in Danxia Town. He only knows a couple of amateur moves, but to survive in this damn feudal dynasty, he has no choice but to fight to become stronger. For a meager salary, he serves as one of the court's necessary evils: an agent of the secret police.

He hunts down demonic cultists, pursues Japanese pirates, kills rebels, and confiscates the wealth of tycoons. All he has to do is act, not investigate. He can execute first and report later, with imperial authorization.

From a mere martial artist, he sets out on the road to ascend to the heavens: secret police agent, regular constable, prefectural lieutenant, commander of a thousand...

"You lowly martial artist, solve this case within three days or you'll be punished."

"A little constable has no future. A petty official like you is laughable."

"Lieutenant, please come in. I was foolish before."

"Commander, Commander, you must take my daughter as a concubine! Before? I must have been possessed."

"Greetings, Marquis of Wu. Heh heh heh... Oh, sir, what a wonderful kick. Kick me again."
