It's not canon

Thank you for the heads-up. I checked out the translation you mentioned, and although the story is indeed based on the same RAW as the one I'm working on, they haven't taken any of my translation work (at the time I'm writing this). It seems that their projects are all machine translations generated by their own AI (LLM), with little to no human editing of the generated result.

There's already a story that's very similar to what you're asking for. Some time ago, I saw that someone was translating it under the name 'BTTH: The Imperial Prince.' However, after checking now, it seems they've dropped the translation. Also, I'd kindly ask you to stop spamming on every chapter. The two translation projects I'm currently working on take up all my time, and I'm fully dedicated to them. I don't plan on taking on anything new for quite a while.

I'll be releasing 1-2 chapters a day until we catch up with the chapters already published for free members on Patreon. Each new chapter published here undergoes some additional editing, so it's up to each person to decide whether they want to wait or not.

Don't worry! The story starts in medias res, so it might feel fast-paced at first. As you continue to read through the first volume (up to chapter 70), you'll gradually learn more about the MC: backstory, two Martial Spirits, spirit skills, moral compass, and relationships, all while the plot moves forward. It's something I haven't seen done quite like this in many other fictions of this type, but it's implemented really well here. Oh, and you can definitely look forward to what happens to Tang San in the end! However, I wanted to give you a heads-up about Huo Yuhao's treatment in the story. While it doesn't reach the level of constant bashing or become the main focus, he'll be treated rather poorly throughout. Keep this in mind so these details don't spoil your experience of this great story.

Oh, I see. Nah, the fic is originally a harem. I haven't added anything extra to either of my two current translation projects, as I consider them perfect as they are. You can expect plenty of love interests and great romance. (This doesn't mean the plot is only about that; rather, both elements will be quite present in the story and will help complement it,) especially after the first volume (Ch. 70+)

Oh? You mean because of the tag? It doesn't look like a harem to you?

Yep. The only Dou Emperors in the Jia Ma Empire are Hai Bodong, Yun Yun, Jia Xing Tian, Serene Sea Scaly Beast (Rank 6 = Dou Emperor level strength) and Yun Shan (?
