In the Divine Martial Continent, a place where strength was treasured, a shut-in transmigrates from earth.

He happened to inhabit the body of an orphan who was abandoned by his parents, and picked up from the streets by a chef from the Holy Martial Institute.

Xiao Ling, who was a prior genius admired by all, fails to awaken a martial soul when the time arrives. Even after years of diligent cultivation and practice, the heavens still deemed him unfortunate.

He is looked down upon even by the meekest of servants, even more by his advanced peers. With an unbendable willpower, Xiao Ling pushes down all the contempt and ridicule, using all the attained anger to breakthrough.

In a last ditch effort to advance, he stabs his chest to stimulate a breakthrough reaction. Miraculously, he is fortuitous enough to awaken a rare martial soul, a blood martial flame, a natural counter to all elements.

Driven by the need to prove all those who looked down on him wrong, and the crave to become powerful, Xiao Ling industriously cultivates. Even as he rises to become formidable, he strives to solve the mystery of his complex origin and why he was abandoned.
