This Martial Saint Is Too Cautious

[Defensive Strikes] [Every Strike Overwhelms] [Decisive and Ruthless] [The Art of Navigating Society]

"I really don't go looking for trouble. I just strike first-in self-defense."

Transmigrated into the body of an ordinary youth in a martial arts world, Lin Yan has a Martial Arts Tree that came with his transmigration. All he wanted was to quietly grow stronger and live a carefree, unfettered life.

But without a powerful background or patron, he finds himself targeted at every turn by noble houses and influential elites. Even their guard dogs insist on barking at him.

To protect himself, he has no choice but to launch defensive strikes, snuffing out threats before they can take root.

With this cautious approach-and a tiny little bit of help from his Martial Arts Tree-Lin Yan writes a legend uniquely his own in this vast, tumultuous world.

Also known as This Martial Saint Is Far Too Polite: Before we shake hands, I treat you with the utmost respect. After we shake hands, whether you live or die is anyone's guess.

I Don't Kill People-Only Those Who Aren't Human: As Mencius said, "One without compassion is not human; one without a sense of shame and aversion to wrongdoing is not human; one without courtesy and deference is not human; one without a sense of right and wrong is not human."
