Chronicles of the Savage Wilderness

In the forgotten Black Mountain City, Chen Xuan—son of a wandering rogue cultivator—bears the weight of mediocrity. When the Spirit Testing ceremony arrives once every five years, his pathetic three-mark rating seals what everyone already knew: he's destined for a life of poverty, danger, and obscurity. But in a world where talent determines fate and the strong devour the weak, sometimes the greatest cultivation journeys begin with the lowest scores. From the dust of the savage wilderness, legends are forged.
