Heaven Rewards Diligence: Grinding Shattered Stone Palm to Martial Saint

In the waning years of Great Liang, demons and monsters ravage the world, human lives like mere weeds. Aristocratic clans monopolize the martial path, gangs and factions carve up territories, lowly commoners eke out survival in the cracks—exchanging children for food, selling themselves, even their lives.

Lu Chen soul transmigrates, becoming a precarious porter at the Raging River docks.

No prominent lineage, no peerless talent—the only thing he can rely on is that seemingly crude panel before his eyes—

Practice fist once, proficiency +1.

Carry goods one day, vigor +1.

Kill one enemy, combat experience +1.

As long as he trains diligently, no bottlenecks; as long as he grinds relentlessly, infinite growth!

From crude strikes to mountain-toppling, sea-filling might; from mere punching bag to indestructible eternity.

Years later, Lu Chen stands at the martial pinnacle, overlooking gods' and demons' corpses below, facing the heavens' gods and Buddhas, slowly clenching his fist:

"In this life, I question not the past, seek not the future. I believe only in this fist in my hand, only in... Heaven rewards diligence!"

"Since this world offers no path to live, I'll smash one to the heavens with these iron fists!"
