Synopsis :

On this land of real souls, with millions of different martial art institutions, there're so many strong fighters just like the trees in the forests.

Among all, a mediocre apprentice from one of the mediocre institutions suddenly became a martial art genius after a mysterious incident. Not only did he acquire a photographic memory and keen perception, but he had also come to discover that his ability to comprehend martial arts is astronomically good, which eventually made him an almost godly existence.

From the hot-blooded intense battles to the clashes between the top geniuses, Martial Arts is no longer limited to the mortal world, it reaches to a level that can do everything from controlling the oceans to flying up the sky and diving under the ground.

POSITIVE REVIEW :

I highly recommend this novel while it's execution may seem simple it is still a great novel.

Most characters in these novels need a major threat to get them to strive for strength, like maybe their girlfriend get's stolen or maybe their sect gets annihilated. These happenings usually leave the main characters jaded or crazy, willing to kill anything that moves. That doesn't happen here, he keep his modern ethics and morals, but dont be mistaken, he would kill anyone who tries to kill him. So in short we get a reasonable, and calm character.

Something that really bothers me is when a character behaves in calm manner their usually seen as having no personality, do you have to be childish or stupid to have a personality? Do you have to make simple mistakes to be consider normal? If so I don't want a normal MC, they seem like a waste of time.

I think it's time I told you why to read this novel instead of why other novels are clichéd.

1) It an xuanhuan novel that takes advantage of it's fantasy world, we see our main character travel and face unique adversity.

2) Side characters stick around, 265 chapters in the cast only increases but is never forgotten.

3) The fights started off good in this novel but something strange happened as the novel progressed, they got better. Then they were great and at this point- 265 chapters in- their-approaching EPIC.

If anything I wrote caught your attention give this novel a try, 5/5.

CRITICAL REVIEW :

The plot cannot be called original, it is as generic as can be. I do not mind this as long as the story itself can bring something fresh out.

This story did not, firstly, the MC is an idiot and the side-characters are even less intelligent just so the MC looks smart. Most events felt forced and conversation did not flow smoothly. Plot armor is way too obvious.

Spoiler

Oh, I need a stronger skill, runs from a beast into a cave find "body refining manual and fist art low earth realm" and just enough low-level soul stones for practicing it. Need stronger cultivation manual finds just the right level. Needs a boost for his cultivation finds a bottle of hundreds of pills of all 3 kinds Qi, Spirit, Soul.

spends 150 million for something worth at most 10 million saying he might never find it again (harvested once a year but can be found all year round later he goes there and harvest dozens of them)

For a genius researcher of the 21st century, he is too stupid. He does not plan ahead nor think ahead. And I do not know if anyone else noticed but does the entire martial world and the cultivation feels a game system to others as well? Way too fixed for a real world. It kinda reminds me of those Korean novels where the world turns into a game world, lost interest way too fast because it reeks of wish fulfillment where the MC is born to be special and OP. There are those that are funny but the story itself is so bad I do not know if I should be laughing or crying.

Then there is the "good" part, yeah he's satisfied with getting the third place because getting first or second seems impossible.

Only the first competition after that he goes al "whats mine wil be mine! I am number one under heaven blah blah blah using plot armor and sudden powerups. Oh no, he is too powerful, I can not beat him. Makes a breakthrough and the author goes all take my PLOT *cough cough* Sword.

Then there is his training with consist of learning a single move one after another no sword style or arts he is using a move, and he has no defensive swordsmanship? No, he grows dragon bones made of energy from his skin.

Can he learn a move without actually cutting in half thousands of unique treasures with can never be made,

MC gets lucky and finds low-grade treasure with is so rare only 1 out of 10 peerless genius can get one, 100 chapter later MC finds mid-grade and in order to test it with new move cuts in half 1 thousand low- grade treasure a mid-grade treasure is so rare only 1 out of a thousand astral realm master can own one.

300 chapter later MC finds high-grade treasure and in order to test its might cuts in half 1 thousand mid-grade treasures owning a single high-grade treasure makes on invincible among astral realm practitioners. And soul of seas realm would kill for them

by the time MC leaves true spirit continent in order to advance his training (because he can no train without cutting in half treasures) one can expect true spirit continent practitioner to fight with sticks and stones.
