For the first time in many years, the Xuanling Sect, leader of the four major sects, arrives in Shuicheng to select new disciples. This event sparks open and covert conflict between the Fang and Qin families, as their futures hang in the balance. Ultimately, Qin Nan leverages his rigorous training, innate talent, and a God of War Soul acquired by chance. Under the fair judgment of the messenger Xiao Qingxue, he reverses his family's decline and defeats the Fangs.
Once inside the sect, Qin Nan incites the wrath of Ouyang Jun, the sect leader's son, due to his role in Xiao Qingxue's forced marriage. Driven to grow stronger and repay Xiao Qingxue's kindness, Qin Nan repeatedly vanquishes formidable foes. He secures first place in both the Wanxiang Competition and the Outer Sect Competition, joins the four major sect geniuses in the Wuyuan Pavilion, and acquires power capable of shaking the entire continent.
The story unfolds with a shocking secret, a deadly appointment to fight Leng Feng in the Palace of Life and Death, the breaking of the Beihai family's siege on Linshui City, and an exploration of the Nine-Character Mantra Tower. Qin Nan stands firm, vowing to battle the sect's evil forces until the very end.
