Jiang Ye, thirty-two, runs a 37-square-meter martial arts school in an urban village. Tuition is 200 a month, and he has five students.
He has one remarkable skill: without using any force, he can leave someone unable to lift an arm for three days.
But everyone in the district thinks he's useless. That's because he never dares to unleash an "aura trace." Cross that line, and every sensing rod in the city will light up. Within three days, the Martial Patrol can pinpoint his location to within ten meters.
Until someone slapped one of his students and ordered them to wipe the floor with their clothes.
He handed over a bottle of water and said, "Have a drink."
