Eternal Martial Sovereign

Eternal Martial Sovereign is an Eastern fantasy novel by the web author Muniu, serialized on Chuangshi Chinese Network (QQ Reading) and also collected on sites such as Quanben Novels. It runs about 2.76 million characters in over 1,200 chapters and is complete. The protagonist suffers a devastating family tragedy and is turned away by every major sect, his fortunes hitting rock bottom—until a transmigration makes him the spendthrift playboy everyone despises. Along with his fallen state comes the 'Great Martial Sovereign System': so long as he is willing to spend money and squander the family fortune, he can exchange it for Martial Sovereign power, techniques and resources, turning the most absurd behavior in ordinary eyes into a shortcut to cultivation. Thus the protagonist squanders gold with one hand and advances by leaps and bounds with the other, starting from the Qi-Introduction realm and breaking through again and again, learning martial arts such as the Phoenix-Breaking Palm, gathering companions and slapping down rivals, reversing his fate amid conflicts of family, sect and imperial power. The author writes the contrast between 'squandering' and 'growing strong' in a light, humorous tone; system prompts, face-slapping scenes and leveling rhythm make up the typical male-oriented power-fantasy reading experience. As the story progresses, the protagonist moves from one region to a wider world, finally writing his own legend in the 'Infinite Worlds.' Circulated across numerous novel collections and web-fiction directories, the work is one of the representative long system-flow Eastern fantasies.
