What is martial arts? Martial arts have nothing to do with music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. It has nothing to do with precious treasures and secret manuals, and there isn't necessarily a "world's best". Martial arts is a skill, a technique that allows the weak the opportunity to wield a sword against the strong. What is chivalry? Chivalry is not about romance or traditional culture, and there is no gentle and humble behavior. Chivalry is violence, it is a dagger forged by those forced to climb Liangshan Mountain for a tyrant. Cao Mozhi forms an alliance, invading Lu's territory. Zhu Zhuan infiltrates and burns, and establishes himself as the ruler of Wu. Zhang Di cries at the market, seeking revenge for a fallen lord. With his sleeves rolled up, he acts with determination. Violently seizing power from the Qin, cowards gain strength. This is a martial arts story. In that era, a group of like-minded young people come together, striving to change the world. Then, two hundred years later, inside a landfill, the original pioneer of cyber martial arts, Xiang Shan, who had once re-established the world and formed his own system, awakens without any memory, uttering the names of his enemies. "Perhaps it was because I lost back then that the world turned out like this..." "But this time, I will not be defeated again!" This is a story of a person who once again changes the world!

Here is hell, where even with immense power and boundless wealth, you are nothing but a wisp of smoke. Before death, everyone is equal. Here is heaven, where anything you desire but cannot obtain on Earth can be realized, as long as you can cross the line of death and survive the "games" with a death rate as high as ninety-nine percent. Courage, wisdom, means, and obsession—only through the baptism of war and blood can people understand what true strength is. (A traditional infinite stream work, without any cute anime-style jokes, the survival battles and tests of intelligence are the main themes of this book.
