In the final years of the Wu Dynasty, the emperor was incompetent, eunuchs seized power, foreign tribes waited hungrily at the border, and countless commoners froze to death as famine left the land strewn with corpses.
At the imperial examination, Qin Huai saw the chief eunuch making life miserable for poor scholars in every way imaginable, and he snapped!
"Ding! Choice One: Stay silent and leave, accepting the eunuch's offer. Reward: one hundred taels of gold, perfect recall, and the Turtle-Breathing Art!"
[Choice Two: Enter the examination hall with a blade and kill the treacherous eunuch!]
[Reward: Grandmaster cultivation! Green Dragon Crescent Blade (Mythic grade)! Three hundred Black-Armored death soldiers!]
There was no point taking this imperial examination!
Today!
I, Qin Huai, shall attain Grandmaster rank and strike down the traitors with my blade!
I shall raise an army and overthrow the Wu Dynasty!
To establish conscience for Heaven and Earth, secure a future for the people, continue the lost teachings of the ancient sages, and bring peace to all generations!
