Martial Arts Adventure

He's the only one without magic at a school for mages. That just makes him the most dangerous student. Laku arrives at the prestigious Dzidzo Institute with a deadly secret: he's a Zero, completely unable to use magic. Armed only with Awakening, an ancient martial art, he must find his missing grandfather while hiding the truth that could get him killed.

Someone once asked: What is stronger? Martial arts or Magic? I answered: Why not simply use both? In a new world brimming with possibilities—Levels, Classes, Skills, Dungeons, and Monsters—I found myself reborn as a noble family’s troublemaker son. As a gamer, a magical world and a lazy life as a rich noble's son should have been a dream come true. But there was a massive catch. An absurd quest threw everything into chaos.

Reunited with Aria Duo, Kael Lin thought he had finally found sanctuary within the Hidden Moon Sect. But in the ruthless world of cultivation, peace is nothing more than a pause between battles. While the Star River Sect’s vengeance is temporarily held at bay, a new crisis emerges: his friends are hitting a cultivation wall that only the legendary Foundation Establishment Pill can break. Refusing to let them fall behind, Kael steps out of the safety of the sect’s array and into the perilous Ancient Forest. But the forest holds more than just rare herbs and demon beasts. Kael finds ...

He was the world’s richest man. Now, he’s a servant with zero talent. But in a world of immortals, hard work beats destiny—especially when you can see the Progress Bar. Kael had it all: islands, armies, and a fortune that could buy nations. Then he died and woke up in the brutal Star River Sect. No longer a billionaire, he is now a lowly servant, stripped of dignity. To make matters worse, he is a "Hollow"—a mortal born with no Spirit Root. In this dog-eat-dog cultivation world, that’s a death sentence. He is destined to be cannon fodder, or worse, a lab rat for the sect’s ...

The six-month penalty has ended, and my life at the Academy began. It is now time to establish my Demonic Sect, recruit members, and make a name for myself. At least, that is how it should have been. Hostile upperclassmen, mysterious professors, stuck-up nobles, and a demonic invasion that I know will hit the academy, all loom over me. As do the vampire, werewolf, and phoenix girls around me.

The Kaul siblings' battle with rival clans reaches new heights in the heart-pounding continuation of the Green Bone Saga, an epic trilogy about family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of blood and jade. On the island of Kekon, the Kaul family is locked in a violent feud for...

Folk tales of the Shaolin Temple depict warrior monks with superhuman abilities. Today, dozens of East Asian fighting styles trace their roots back to the Buddhist brawlers of Shaolin, although any quest for the true story soon wanders into a labyrinth of forgeries, secret texts and modern retellings. This new study approaches the martial arts from their origins in military exercises and callisthenics. It examines a rich folklore from old wuxia tales of crime-fighting heroes to modern kung fu movies.

His secret is out. The Vatariri's deadliest enforcer just locked down the academy to find him. Laku pulled his grandfather out of Vatariri custody, but Senai came back broken. He can't fight, can't train, and the knowledge that could heal him is locked behind wards only Headmaster Nakai can open. Nakai is imprisoned in her own office, being interrogated by a battle-mage who terrifies even Senai. If she breaks, she'll give up the Forgotten Library's location, and everyone hiding inside it dies. Ona, his hellhound shadow-scout, can slip unseen through the tunnels beneath campus.

A stolen flame. A night of slaughter. A county on the verge of breaking. Zhou Yi’s rise is no longer a rumor whispered in Zhou Family Village. In Taicang County, every step he takes is beginning to tilt the balance of power. When a secret manual falls into his hands, he claims the Xu Family’s crown jewel. What should take years of bitter struggle, he conquers in mere nights, pushing the art straight to its ninth level. But such power can’t be revealed… not while the great clans are already sharpening their blades. Then celebration turns to nightmare. The Cheng Residence is drenched ...

A closed gate. A failing breakthrough. A road that leads beyond Taicang. Zhou Yi has pushed his internal energy to the very peak—mastering one technique after another, even completing all five elemental paths… yet the Innate realm still refuses to open. Then the truth surfaces at last. The Zhou family’s roots trace back to a greater world—the legendary Hengshan Sect. And with that revelation comes a ruthless reality: to break the barrier, Zhou Yi must seek a Golden Pill born from a five-hundred-year-old spirit beast… or be forever trapped at the limit. So he steps beyond the ...

The higher Zhou Yi rises, the more the world turns against him. Once, the strongest experts of the human realm were figures he could only avoid. Now, after countless battles, narrow escapes, and impossible breakthroughs, Zhou Yi has finally stepped into the highest realm known to mankind. But the world’s greatest powers will not allow him to stand above them. In the Southern Sea, the strongest figures of East and West collide. Old grudges ignite. Hidden schemes unravel. Sacred beasts roar across the sky, black chains tear through the void, and a deadly misunderstanding drags the world’s...

My name is Ronin. This is the third book of my life as an Adventurer Monk. So far, I’ve made a name for myself locally and established a house with wonderful mates. Today, the 311-year-old Elf-Woman, The White Falcon, appeared and says that she will join us. She was a surprise. 311 looks good on a strong-blooded Elf. This should be an adventure in itself. The Kobold Cave is empty…of Kobolds. I expect even more dangerous creatures are waiting for us deeper in. I intend to take my beautiful, highly sexual spouses, and explore it. At least four of us, and possibly five now, are Adventurers...

As a lifelong martial artist, I have dedicated over 45 years of my life to the study and practice of various martial arts styles and combat systems. My training has included a wide range of art forms, such as Kung-fu, Ninjitsu, and Karate, as well as combat systems like Krav Maga and Kapap. Throughout my training, I have come to appreciate the unique aspects of each style and the value of combining different techniques and approaches to create a comprehensive system of self-defense. My approach to martial arts has been influenced by the concept of Martial Science, which combines the study ...

Laku's tournament triumph has everyone at Dzidzo Institute watching him. While dodging accusations, outrunning deadly rumors, and keeping up with school work, he also needs to decode his grandfather secrets before anyone can expose him as a Zero.

After traveling across the entirety of the Sealance Empire and the deserts of Lowenthal, Larek has returned home to the Kingdom of Androthe to find that the situation is quite different from what he remembered. Not only are there massive Apertures called Calamities consuming large portions of the landscape, but most of his friends are also scattered to locations unknown around the Kingdom. Worse yet, they have no idea who he is because of the Dominion magic used on them before he was transported to the Empire.

It’s not the most prestigious academy, but it’s his best shot at gaining the strength he needs. If he can pass the entrance exam and survive the year, he might finally uncover what was stolen from him.

On a day no different from any other, Zhou Yi was still just another young disciple doing everything right… and getting nowhere. For years, his training had stalled. He worked himself to the bone, but the wall in front of him didn’t crack. The praise faded. The whispers grew louder. A “prodigy” quietly became a punchline. Then, one night, something in the world answered him. A strange light surfaced in the lake—silent, unnatural, irresistible. He reached for it without thinking, and in that instant, reality split open. Vast, terrifying visions flooded him. Power. Laws. A world far...
