This book runs through the six core stages of counterattack from the bottom, subversion of sects, separatism by rivers and lakes, rise of martial alliances, court games, and alien invasion. The protagonist, Lin Yan, has a unique god-level talent called "Flaw Eyes", which can see through martial arts moves, hidden meridians, defects in techniques, and hidden dangers in weapons. He can collect flaw marks to exchange for internal power, physical body, and incomplete martial arts. He is the only core long-term golden finger in the book.
The story begins with the humiliating and desperate situation of a low-level servant of the Qingyun Sect. He is framed and publicly humiliated by the powerful followers. He awakens his divine eyes on the verge of death, uses the weak to defeat the strong, reverses the injustice, and shakes the sect's corrupt hierarchical order in one battle. In the early stage, the protagonist is dormant and grows up. Taking advantage of his divine eyes, he constantly cracks loopholes in the martial arts of his fellow disciples, repairs his own foundation, slaps and bullies the powerful, exposes the true face of the pseudo-geniuses of famous disciples, gradually breaks away from the bottom of the handyman, accumulates resources and popularity, and breaks the solidified hierarchy of the sect.
In the mid-term plot, Lin Yan breaks away from the shackles of a single sect. Lin Yan gathers scattered people and down-and-out warriors, integrates scattered forces, overthrows the monopoly of decadent famous families, abandons the bad habits of old martial arts, forms a new style of martial arts alliance, and forms a separatist confrontation with the major old sects. At the same time, the court game is launched on two fronts, fighting against the power of hereditary martial arts dignitaries and court military attachés, dealing with the sects of the Jianghu and the imperial power of the court, and gradually expanding the right to speak and control.
In the later period, the main line of fighting for global hegemony and defending the country was opened. The civil strife in the rivers and lakes and the power struggle in the court had not yet ended. Foreign warriors from outside the Great Wall invaded in large numbers, and martial arts chaos came. Lin Yan led the new martial arts alliance to integrate martial arts forces from the Jianghu and the imperial court to fight against powerful foreign enemies.
