Mastering the Martial Dao Through One Hundred Thousand Salt-Making Attempts

Chu Ning was a salt slave of the lowest status in the Great Liang dynasty, born into a family of salt-boilers. Every day, he boiled brine to make salt, with his life and death in other people's hands.

Until he discovered that every batch of salt he boiled was adding proficiency to a technique called the Iron Cloth Shirt.

[Steady Progress Destiny: Every effort brings a reward, and everything learned can be quantified.]

After boiling salt a hundred thousand times, he mastered the Iron Cloth Shirt. After two months of hard training, his body could overpower eighth-rank fighters.

What others spent ten years of arduous cultivation trying to reach, he crossed after just two months at a salt well.

Starting with a pot of brine, he slew an eighth-rank gang leader, claimed Dugu's lost legacy, stormed an auction, entered the Demon Suppression Pavilion...

The salt slave whom everyone had trampled into the mud would one day raise his blade and ascend the throne of the First-Rank Martial God.

"I didn't boil salt a hundred thousand times just to spend my whole life as a salt-boiler."

"I did it to become one with the Dao of Martial Arts."
