Jianghai No. 1 Martial Arts High School.
He Xu was called up in front of the entire school.
People from the Martial Arts Bureau dragged him away.
The charge: stealing the school-guarding manual of Jianghai University of Martial Arts, the Profound Yang Scripture.
The witness: his childhood friend, who had grown up playing with him.
The motive? Nobody asked. The evidence? It didn't matter.
His father had been the guardian of that manual. He disappeared six months ago while exploring an ancient ruin. He was the perfect scapegoat.
Expelled. Given a three-year demerit. Banned from taking the exams.
After that one-two punch, a sixteen-year-old martial arts student was left with a ruined reputation and a bleak future. Even his last chance to turn things around had been completely taken away.
But He Xu remembered his father's warning before he disappeared.
"If one day I don't come back, don't look for me unless you're strong enough. There's something you need to know on the third basement level of the old house."
At the time, He Xu thought he was drunk.
Only now did he understand: it was a legacy from an era of martial arts that no one had ever known about...
