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!

In the world of martial arts novels by Jin Yong, there are numerous mysterious and formidable experts. Some of them are mentioned by name, while others remain unknown. They either possess peerless martial arts techniques or have made a great name for themselves in the martial world. Dugu Qiubai, the founder of the Dugu Swordplay, is believed to have created only the Nine Swords. However, the truth might be more complex. The incomplete Kuihua Manual cultivated Dongfang Bubai into a formidable adversary. As for the founder of the manual, the eunuch with no name, his martial arts skills are unimaginable. The two masters of Xiake Island have unfathomable martial arts abilities, not easily surpassed even by Shi Potian, who comprehended them overnight. So, how formidable is the creator of the Taixuan Sutra? The Thirteen-Level Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong of Tibetan Buddhism is said to be impossible for an ordinary person to cultivate beyond the tenth level. Does that mean the founder of this martial art only reached the thirteenth level? The three elders of the Xiaoyao Sect possess immeasurable martial arts skills, and the sect's ultimate techniques are shrouded in mystery. As for the founding master, Daoist Xaoyao, his true strength remains unknown. The power of these individuals is beyond imagination and can be considered almost "immortal" in nature. If all these individuals existed in the same era, it would be a truly extraordinary martial arts world. As for the protagonist, the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect, he is currently just a sixteen-year-old scholar without any martial arts abilities.
