Raging Sword, Dragon's Roar

Raging Sword, Dragon's Roar is a long fantasy novel set on another continent, written by the web author Piaomiao Chenmie. It was first serialized on 17K Novel Network in May 2013 and completed in February 2016 as a signed VIP work, totaling more than three million characters. The protagonist, Feng Ren, was once called the foremost genius of his clan, his cultivation having reached the peak of the ninth level of the Martial rank; then a sudden catastrophe wiped out the entire clan of several hundred people. He escaped gravely wounded, his cultivation inexplicably falling to the fourth level of the Martial rank, and became the sole survivor. Before dying, the clan chief placed the jade pendant passed down through generations in his hand, leaving only a sentence about reincarnation and fate. Feng Ren then changed his name and went into hiding in the army, enduring others' provocations and contempt while quietly cultivating and seeking the truth. The jade pendant turns out to contain a residual soul that has slept for an unknown number of years and is both eccentric and talkative; their meeting draws out a bond spanning three thousand years. Built on the three-tier, nine-level cultivation system of "Martial, Realm, Domain" from low to high, the work revolves around revenge, protection, and brotherhood as the protagonist gradually returns to the peak on the other continent and becomes entangled with vividly drawn characters such as Huo Xiaoxuan. The book moves at a brisk pace and combines passionate battles with light, humorous everyday passages.
