Surviving as a Martial Saint: Beginning with the Mountain-Shattering Fist

You reap what you sow!

Humanity rewards diligence; Heaven rewards making up for one's shortcomings!

Duan Xuan transmigrated into a world where martial might reigns supreme-a world overrun by demons and monsters, where people are as insignificant as ants and their lives as worthless as weeds.

He became the son of an impoverished hunter in Snakehead Gully, deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains on the northwestern frontier.

His hunter father was conscripted by the imperial court to venture into the mountains, hunt demonic beasts, and harvest their cores. Three years have passed, and he has yet to return.

Only Duan Xuan and his mother, whose leg was broken, remain, scraping by in a world of chaos.

Mountain bandits run rampant, while gangs control the gully's lifelines.

"Incense offerings to the Mountain Lord," "sacrifices to the Mountain God," "driving away mountain ghosts"-countless pretexts for exploitation leave mother and son in unbearable misery, with starvation looming ever closer.

Fortunately, a line of text appears in Duan Xuan's mind, visible to him alone.

[Fate: Humanity rewards diligence-every effort yields a reward. Heaven rewards making up for one's shortcomings-every endeavor can reach fruition.]

Duan Xuan understands: whatever the skill or cultivation technique, as long as he studies it, he will make progress. As long as he perseveres, he is certain to succeed!

For him, all limitations might as well not exist!
