Forged in Blood: Rise of the Peerless Master

Yan Chong awakens as a disposable foot soldier on a blood-soaked battlefield—but he's armed with a deadly cheat: every kill grants him raw power. As corpses pile up and his strength skyrockets, the empire's elite take notice. When his meteoric rise threatens the established order, Yan Chong is forced to cut down a corrupt officer and flee into the shadows. Now hunted by the realm's deadliest martial experts, he must survive impossible odds and endless assassination attempts. Each narrow escape tempers him like steel in a forge, transforming a nameless grunt into an unstoppable legend.
