Martial Ice Sovereign

Martial Ice Sovereign is an Eastern fantasy novel by the web author Shi Dao, serialized on Qidian and complete in 960 chapters. The story takes place on the Tianwu Continent, where martial prowess flourishes. Here the strong can split the sky and shatter the earth and roam the nine heavens, while those who cannot practice martial arts are regarded as the lowest of beings. The protagonist, Gao Han, comes from a small family in the Spirit Nation. Long despised for possessing the "water constitution" universally considered the worst, he trains hard for five years with little progress. After an accident his constitution mutates: his ordinary water attribute transforms into the extremely rare ice attribute, opening his path of cultivation. He then leaves his family and homeland to take the examination at the Piaomiao Sect, defeating prodigious opponents in sect trials, clan tournaments and field expeditions, and gradually comprehends sword force, the mysteries of the ice attribute, and the principle that "the highest good is like water, and water is the source of all things." The book follows Gao Han from a humiliated youth of a small clan to one who contends for rare treasures, roams the heavens, and ultimately attains the rank of Heavenly Worthy through the power of ice marrow—a typical Eastern fantasy of "worthless loser's counterattack + constitution awakening + realm advancement."
