Category: Fantasy-High Martial Arts World.

【Introduction】

This is a world where demons are rampant.

All humans are well aware of the horror of demons.

Even if there are warriors among humans who can fight against demons, they would not want to have any contact with demons if they had a choice.

But in such a world, in a small county, a young man kills demons every night, just to complete these one billion sword draws...

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One, Shen Houbai. In the Shen family blacksmith shop in Wuling County during the Great Zhou Dynasty, the protagonist, Shen Houbai, takes a long sword forged by his father and goes to the backyard to test it. He unsheathes it, striking five times in a single breath. For a sixteen-year-old, he's a true genius. His father, however, could strike three hundred times in a single breath. Demons emerge from the city walls, seemingly waiting for the protagonist to leave.

Chapter Two: A Bigger Stage. The protagonist faced a pack of wolf demons, unfazed. He charged forward, drew his sword, and slew the demon king. The system chimed, announcing his advancement to the Condensation Pill Realm and a new mission: draw the sword 100,000 times. Upon learning of his advancement, his father decided to allow him to ascend to a larger stage.

Chapter Three: The Unity of Man and Sword. The protagonist's father crafts a unique sword for him, named Cicada Wing. He sends him to visit his grandfather, who lives in the imperial capital, a place filled with both opportunities and challenges. His father explains that the secret to achieving this unity lies in a voice-activated weapon. Simply shout "Cicada Wing" and the sword will automatically fly to his hand. Through the system's analysis, he learns how to achieve this unity. It's simple.

Chapter 4: The sword is good. The protagonist's friend comes to say goodbye, but is treated coldly by him, as well as his own father. He's quite friendly to the old woman selling meatballs on the street. Unfortunately, someone from the Warrior General Institute tries to force him to buy his sword. So, he draws his sword and chops the other person's arm. Proficiency increases.

Chapter 5, Twenty-Two Strike. The three members of the main hospital, whose arms were chopped off, find their patrons and lead them to the protagonist. They seek revenge, and the protagonist draws his sword again. Twenty-two strikes in a single breath, the leader, Wang Fu, loses his right arm, while the other three lose both arms. The protagonist's talent is unparalleled.

Chapter 6: The world outside is truly fascinating. The protagonist learns from his father that his mother is not dead, but in a coma. He plans to find his grandfather and promises to rescue his mother. He rushes to the ferry and heads to the imperial capital with his friends, where they meet the warriors from the headquarters whose arms he had chopped off.

Chapter 7: The Test. The protagonist sits on a boat, bidding farewell to his home. A young woman in flowing, ethereal clothing appears on board, and his friend seems to have a crush on her. At night, demons attack, but the leader declares this a test. Only those who reach the imperial capital alive will pass the test.

Chapter 8: He's so powerful! The protagonist is the first to spot a demon emerging from the sky, a commander-level one. Two experts lead the charge to engage it. The protagonist happily slays the small toad demon, his swordplay proficiency madly improving, drawing the girl's astonishment.

Chapter 9: A reward of 50,000 sword draws. The protagonist didn't even draw his sword, yet the most Toad Monsters died before him. He had actually already drawn his sword 20,000 times, and the system issued a new quest: slay the Toad Commander, rewarding 50,000 sword draws. After he estimated he'd completed 75,000 sword draws, he set his sights on the Toad Commander.

Chapter 10, Mission Completion. The protagonist arrives behind the leader, his blade hilt pops open, his wings unsheathed, and the Toad Commander's head is shattered. Ignoring the crowd's exclamations, he begins to eat. While counting the system rewards, he discovers his sword drawing technique has advanced, his realm has risen, and his current mission has reached one million sword draws.

【Brief Comment】

About the Author

When Gangjin was creating "One Billion Sword Drawings", he also opened "Billions of Sword Drawings". The same routine was used, but the results were indeed worlds apart.

《十亿次拔刀》2019年12月1日上架，首订2900，2019年12月30日达成精品。

Currently, there are 11 collections on Qidian, 15 collections in the bookstore, 25 fans, and 1 alliance leaders.

And "Billion Swords" is probably going to be discontinued, as it has been discontinued for more than a week.

It's the same flavor, but readers are not buying it at all. What's more, the old book is not finished yet, so it's too early to make a seamless connection.

summary of the story
This book mainly tells the story of the time traveler Shen Houbai who, according to the sword-drawing mission issued by the system, improves his sword-drawing skills by killing monsters outside the city under the guidance of his father.

As his level increased, he had no choice but to go to the imperial capital to seek refuge with his grandfather, find out the extent of his mother's injuries, and find a way to fulfill the promise he made to his father when he left.

He wants to save his mother!

Character characteristics
The protagonist, Shen Houbai, does not have the cheerful thinking of a time traveler and always appears to be aloof and cool.

His purpose was very clear. He must practice sword drawing more and complete the task issued by the system this morning.

He could remain calm even when seeing a beautiful girl, and decisively draw his sword when facing a ferocious demon. He even dared to directly reject the unscrupulous senior brothers from the Martial Arts General Academy.

This guy has a bit of a steely straight man vibe.

Style characteristics
This book can actually be understood as an alternative kind of invincible writing.

Because the protagonist's realm is far beyond the monsters outside the city, he can kill monsters in one move, the difference is how many times he can strike in one breath.

When facing a higher realm, besides running away, he also has the strength to fight. After all, the small probability of ignoring defense still occurs sometimes.

In addition, the system always gives some discounts from time to time, allowing the protagonist's sword-drawing proficiency to continue to rise.

It seems that the biggest obstacle in cultivating immortals: breakthrough, is not a big deal in the eyes of the protagonist's system.

Later in the story, the protagonist had drawn his sword 600 million times, had a harem, and had children.

The immortal road is opened, and a group of big men are ready to embark on the immortal road and conquer the other world.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

In fact, I paid attention to this book when it first came out last year.

But I didn’t think about trying it out.

Because at that time, I refused to read any fantasy novels.

Because fantasy novels are all about fighting, no matter how brilliant the early settings are, in the end it is all about constantly fighting monsters to upgrade, and changing maps to fight monsters to upgrade.

When I tried to read this book, I had high expectations at first.

After all, the art of sword drawing seems quite interesting.

If anyone knows the origin of the sword-drawing technique, please come forward and give some guidance.

What I am interested in is what this type of invincible writing will become in the end.

Well, it turns out that the system flow is more powerful.

Just leave anything that cannot be explained to the system.

However, we have only completed 600 million sword draws so far. When will we be able to complete 1 billion sword draws?
Moreover, the book ends with a harem.

This is really not pleasing.

Many readers don’t like to read this nowadays.

Authors don’t like to write about this either. It’s too risky and not worth the effort.

So, this may be the reason why the author was expelled from the party and fired.

Unfortunately, the double opening failed.

He completed this journey by himself.
